LAW WILL NOT
WORK IN ARMY
Impossible to Furnish SeCre-
tary of theTreaSury With
information Required.

Washington, July IA provision in the
sundry civil act requiring all heads of
executive departments 10 furnish to the
secretary of the treasury thirty days aft
er the close of each fiscal year a state
ment of all proceeds of public property
with detailed statement of all pay
ments made from public funds during the
year, the postal service excepted, is re-
ceiVing considerable attention in army Cir
cles in so far as it's affects the sales of
stores maintained for the accommodation
of officers and privates at all army posts
under general statute by the cOnmiSSary
general of the army. The new provision
conflicts with the act or March 1895,
which excerpts the system of sales stores
from such statement of payments.
The complication arises from the fact
that, while the total disbursements for
the purchase of articles sold at cost at
such stores amounted to over $25OO,OO0 in
1905, covering nearly 300 different arti-
ceS with a loss of less than y of l per
cent. a detailed account of all payments
is virtually impossible, as the money di-
Verted for this purpose from the apprO-
pratiOn for subsistence is kept in con-
slant circulation, similar to the operation
of the capital of any grocery store. I'm
less marked care is employed IL is i'm
practicable to keep track of the twenty
or thirty separate receipts and disburse-
ments at the sales stores of each diverted
dollar. In requiring further that such
statements for each fiscal year shall be
rendered not later than thirty days after
its close, the act imposes a further impos-
sibility in the view of the war depart
ment upon the servants of the United
States on the Philippine islands. Such re-
ports from large part of the. island
could not arrive at the war department
earlier than the middle of September,
which is nearly two months later than the
date fixed in the public document.

Bank Cashiers as Experts.

In an effort to establish the accuracy
of the now famous forty letters, counsel
for Mrs. Hartje late today summoned to
their office three bank cashiers to obtain
their opinion of the letters because of
their knowledge of handwriting in their
business.
None of the men was acquainted with
Mrs. Hartjes handwriting, and the forty
letters were thrown upon the table be-
fore them They were a.ked TO select
those letters that from tneir experience
would appear to be written in a natural
hand. In the forty letters were seven that
Mrs Hartje had acknowledged writing
These were letters of social nature to
personal friends, and they were selected
by the bank men as to their mind the
letters written by Mrs. Hartje. while the
remainder were declared to be forgeries.
1t could not be learned tonight whether
this would be used as eviderce in the
case or was for the purpose Of the coun-
sci in their arguments.

PLANNED TO KILL GIRL.
Failing to See Her, Young Thompson
Shot Her Uncle.

Seattle, Wash, July u.-Prosecuting
Attorney Macintosh in his investiga-
ton into the Emory murder case found
today that Chester Thompson, slayer
of the dead jurist, had lain in ambush
within a block of the Emory home on
Saturday evening last, while waiting
for young Charlotte Whittlesey to ap-
pear. Charlotte and Chester were boy
and girl friends two years ago and
Chester was desperately in love with
her. He had been denied the privilege
of calling at the Whittlesey home, adj
joining the Emory residence, the even
ing of the murder, and there is rev
evidence to show that he deliberately
planned to kill her should she, after
a personal interview, refuse his atten-
tions. The funeral of Judge Emory
will be held Friday at 10 o'clock in the
morning. The body will be cremated.

GIRL INFATUATED.
George Mitchell Failed to Save Sis.
ter From Holy Rollers.

Seattle, Wash, July 11.-George
Mitchell, acquitted yesterday afternoon
for the killing of Holy Roller Creffield,
spent the first days freedom he has
enjoyed in two months in searching
lodging houses of Seattle for his sister,
Esther. The young girl to save whom
he killed Creffield is in hiding with the
dead mans widow. She does not wish
to go to Illinois with her father as her
brother desires her to go. George
Mitchell believes another Holy Roller
camp will be established in British Co
lumbia, and fears that if his sister re-
mains under the influence of Crefiieid's
widow she may again take up Holy
Rollerism. One of Creffield's male fol-
lowers is in British Columbia and dur
ing the trial several women who were
former followers Of Creffield, passed
through Seattle on the way to
British Columbia, presumably to join
this man.

White is perfectly innocent.

ALTON RAILROAD
/. IS FINED $4,000
John Faithorn and Fred A.
Wann $4,000 Each, All
for 0ffense of Relating.

Chicago, July 11.-Judge Lands, in the
United States district court, today SEN
fenced the Chicago & Alton road, which
was recently convicted of granting illegal
rebates at Kansas City, to pay a fine of
$4,000 on each of two counts. or a total
of $4,000
John Faithorn and Fred A. Wann, for
mer officials of the road, who were also
convicted. were sentenced to pay fine of
5000 each on two counts or a total of
$1,000 each.
Not Guilty on Eight Counts.
The defendants were fined on two
counts of an indictment containing ten
counts The specific charge on which they
were convicted was that they had given
to the SchwarZschild & SulZberger COM
pany a rebate of 81 per car on all ship
ments from the Kansas City plant of the
packing company The defendants
claimed that the charge was made against
them by the packing company which
had the right to levy it because it owned
the track near the plant and therefore
had the right to charge the railroad for
trackage.
Could Not Get Witnesses.
Judge Lands directed the jury to bring
in a verdict of guilty and after ii had
been rendered the attorneys for the rail-
road and for the individual defendants
asked until today to show that the re-
bate was public and not secret affair.
Today the attorneys for the railroad
said that they had not been able to bring
witnesses into court to testify because
they feared prosecution themselves.
The court in passing sentence said that
he could see no extenuating circum-
stances in the granting of the rebates
After the entering of the sentence the
defendants gave notice of an. appeal. The
fine inflicted today by Judge Lands is
identical with that imposed on the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad in a
similar case by Judge Bethea in the Unit
ed States circuit court.

ARMISTICE FAILS TO LAST

Washington, July 11.-HoStilities be-
tween Salvador and Guatemala have
broken out anew on the border between
these countries where peace was sup
posed to have been established pending
a settlement of the trouble between the
two countries. Leslie NJ. Combs, the
American minister to Guatemala, who
was on his way to the United States to
assist in settling the difficulties between
Salvador and Guatemala, has been or
dered back to Guatemala City from
Champerico, Guatemala, where he was
reached by cable.
News Causes Surprise.
MIR. Combs will remain in the Guate-
malan capital to keep the United States
advised concerning the trouble and TO
protect American interests. Salvado-
rean and Guatemalan troops have been
massed near the common boundary of
the two countries for some time and a
serious clash was expected, but'a tenn
porary armiStice seemed to have been
agreed upon and Salvador announced
that j. X. Pacus had been named as a
special envoy TO Washington for the
purpose of making representations TO
the American government concerning
SalVadOrS position. john jenkins, the
American consul general at San Saliva
dor. was to accompany Mr.. Pacus to
this country.
Salvador to Blame.
Salvador's alleged assistance of revO-
lutionists in Guatemala who were at
tempting to overthrow President Ca
brera caused Guatemala to protest bit
terly to the United States and Mexico,
and resulted in representations to Sal
vador by those two republics which in
Dictated that they resented foreign in
reference in the internal affairs of
Guatemala.
AS sOon as the position of the United
States was made clear Salvador an
nOunced that Mr.. PaCuS would come TO
Washington to explain the situation,
Guatemala indicating willingness to
have the United States act as mediator.
Reassuring reports reached the state
department concerning the internal
conditions in Guatemala and it was be- |
lieved that President Cabrera had put
down the revolution and that the row
with Salvador would soon be amicably |
