Next Quartermaster General.

Washington, August S1.-Among
the important changes which are to
be made in the next few weeks will
be the detail of Major ]. B. Bellinger,
of the quartermaster's department, to
duty as depot quartermaster in San
Francisco, and as superintendent of
the army transport service, in which,
especially, he will succeed Major De-
vol, who has been doing excellent
work in connection with the relief
projects in San Francisco, and now
comes to Washington as a member OF
the general staff. Major Devol has
oeen persistently spoken of as the next
quartermaster general of the army
when there shall be a vacancy in that
important position. 1t is known tina.
Secretary Taft is most favorably in
cllnAd toward Major Devol, and the
fact that that officer was chosen OF
two quartermasters recommended for
detail to the general staff indicates
that there may be something in the
impression that Major Devol is ir
line of ultimate promotion.

BAKER CITY FILES AN ANSWER
Firm Adherence to Purpose to Have
Paved Streets.

Firm Adherence to Purpose to Have
Paved Streets.
Baker City's answer to the paving
objectionists was filed with Clerk
Combs this morning, says the Herald
of August 81. 1t is protest against
the injunction, a declaration that the
council was right in its steps, a denial
of the charge that it exceeded its au-
thority, and a charge that the Barber
Asphalt company, the paving trust is
stirring up litigation in Baker.
The answer was filed by John L.
Rand. With Mr.. Rand appearing as
special counsel in the case are C. A.
Johns and Butcher, Clifford G. Cor
rell.
The answer alleges "that the Bar
Der Asphalt Paving company, cor
porate monopoly owning and controll-
ing all the asphalt in the world, So
licited the plaintiffs to begin the suit
that tied up paving, and contracted to
bear the expenses Of the suit" and
that the litigation was instigated tc
harass the Warren Bros. company
business rivals of the Barber people.
1t states that the city at the request
of the people decided upon paving
and that before deciding upon btu
lithic pavement, tentative bids were
asked and after an investigation btu.
lithic pavement was chosen as the
best. 1t states that the property tc
be benefited by the proposed i'm.
provement amounts to $4,000 square
feet, and that the signatures of the
owners of two-thlrds of the property
were not secured, That the protest
was worthless, Is charged.
The city asks that the injunction bc
dissolved, that the complaint be DIS
missed, and that the city have judg
ment against the complainants fo
costs and disbursements.

a large force of men are working in an

The cave-in occurred unexpectedly and
II is not known who is responsible.
The men entombed are chiefly natives

the tunnel. waiting for news of those

were enacted.
The work Of rescue will continue as

covered.

Insurance Companies Alone Are
Paying Out Million Per
Day; Wages High.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17.-With
money pouring in at the rate of 81 ,000,-
900 a day from insurance alone, the
banks of the city are more crowded
with dcpositors than ever in their his
tory. Comparatively little is being
drawn, and after all local demands are
met with loans there is small surplus
which seeks an outlet
"We had to send another half mil
lion East today" said President Will
Crocker of the Crockcr- w ooiw orth
bank. 81 never knew such n plethora
of ready money as exists in the city
now. We are refusing no applicants
for loans here. and we are sending big
sums to New York, where the rates of
interest are low. There is just now
demand for money to move the crops
of the State, and we are responding
TO this, with the usual credit, but still
there is more money offered than we
wish to carry.'
Cashier Palmer of the Humboldt Saw
ings bank said:

two months and the circulation of such
sum is enough TO make money plenty

ter Mrs Appleby. all deceased, was left
In trust TO the worthy poor OF ST. Paul.
The entire estate amounts to about ST.
100000, Dr., Appleby sought to have the
ante-nuptlal agreement declared void. He
also tried to have set aside the charit-
able beQuest in his wifes will on the
ground that it was void and that the
Wilder home. with fund OF $4,000 year

whether or not he lived in it.
The Probate court decided adversely
TO DR.. Appleby on all these points and
an appeal was taken to the District

II have investigated the matter COM

The attendance at such dances being
composed of pupils and their friends.

The trial was not finished tonight
Glasmann himself was on the stand for
two hours and related that Frank Fran

editor-in-chief of the paper He, Glas

Reporter for The Tribune Made
An Accurate Record of
MytOn'S Talk.
STATEMENTS WERE MADE
IN PRESENCE THIRD PARTY
Tribune Reporters Always Re-
cord Interviews Accurately
When Had for Publication.

The interview published III The Trib-
une Of Thursday between representa-"
tive Of this paper and one w. S. Myton
is truthful and accurate record of
statements made by Myton to The Trib-
une reporter, This interview took
place in the presence Of third party,
who corroborates the version Of My
toms conversation as repeated by the
Tribune reporter.
When it is taken into consideration
that Maj. II. P, Myton, brother of
the alleged misquotcd Myton, is aspir-
ing for position on the Republican
State central committee, it stands to
reason that the recent faux pas of his
brother would have decided tendency
to discount the Majors allegiance to
the party.
1t is easy to imagine, therefore, the
hurried conference which took place be-
tween the Mytons on Thursday after
noon, during which it was decided in
heat Of desperation to make the
Smootitc organ blaze forth with q lot
of froth in the hydrophobia box on
the front page, repudiating the Ian
guage used by w. S. Myton, and cast
ing undeserved and unprofessional ali,
athemas upon the Tribune reporter, who
told the truth, and who can prove it.
MAJ. Fl. P. Myton probably thought
that his brother had made most i'm,
polite remark, from the Majors pres
ent political standpoint, and used a
willing tool to belch out his indignation
at his brother IS indiscreet statement.
