With the recent disappearance of
Matushensky, the assistant of Father
Gapon, who was charged with embez-
Element of $4,000 belonging to the
workmens organization, it was discov-
cred that the moderate labor organiza-
ton which Gapon established after the
Russian emperor's manifesto of Oct. 30
last, was subsidized by the government
which supplied funds for the rent of
club houses and for literature. The
revelation was made by the president
of the Putiloff section of the organiza-
ton. who complained that $4,000 of the
funds furnished though former Min
lister of Commerce Timiriazeff had not
reached the treasury of the moderate
party. When Matushensky was ar
rested at Saratof Feb. "A 1t was said
that he would be taken to st. Peters
burg for trial and that the proceedings
against him were expected to be sensa-
tionaI on account of his relations with
Premier White and former Minister of
Commerce Timiriaseff and other promi-
nent persons.

Hiram Tyres management of the
Continental Life Insurance & Invest
ment company is severely criticised in
the report made by Assistant Secretary
of State George B. Squires and State
Bank Examiner c. A. Glazier to Secre-
tary of State c. s. Tingey. Secretary
Tingey made the report public yester-
day.
While criticising Mr.. Tyree's man
agement, however, the two officials say
that the company is in perfectly sol
vent condition and declare it deserves
a better fate than to be wrecked by the
wiIfuI mismanagemen or errors of
judgment of its officers
Want Actuary Called In.
The two officials spent about three
weeks in examining the affairs of the
company. They decline to pass final
judgment on the question of whether
the contract made by Tyree, as presi-
dent, with the Western Agency COM
pany. whereby the latter company
was to do all the COntinentaPs agency
and soliciting work and to write all Of
its policies, is for the benefit Of the
insurance company. They suggest
that an actuary be called in to deter
The examiners show that the COM
pany was confronted by an actual de-
ficiency at the end of the company
business in 1904, and that, in making
the annual official report for that year,
the officers failed to charge up as eX-
penditures the s27,142s1, which had
been paid out for expenses Of promo
ton, organization and development.
Had these expenditures been charged
up, the official statement would have
shown the deficiency.
Regain Surplus.
The report goes on to point out, how
ever, that in 1905, the company recov-
cred from its serious condition of 1904,
and at the end of the later year showed
a surplus.
The report inclines to a criticism of
the methods of the company in making
a contract with Los Angeles firm for
securing policies from prominent men
in communities, after which local
agents, using these prominent mems
connection with the company as an
advertisement, We're to be sent in to
work the field. One or two other con-
tracts made by the company are also
criticised.
Secretary Tingey said yesterday that
he had just received the report, and

Suspension Day.
Under suspension of the rules today,
it is not unlikely that an effort viii be
made to get consideration of the bill

eral in the army. This bill has been
introduced and favorably reported FROM
the military committee since a
provision to the same end failed
as legislation on the army appropria-
ton bill The bill as reported goes into
effect on its passage and consequently
makes no provision for the promotion
to that rank of Generals Corbin and
Macarthur.

complaint on the part of the travelling public, and train number two aoina north is still running far behind. This, Of course, is largely due to bad road bed south Of TeNarkana and 10 Texas tram connections, Then, again, the Cotton Belt has for long time been handicapped by it's tran service. Dur ing the late worlds fair in St. Louis this fact was brought out most con- spicuously. The Cotton Belt adyprtis- ed a schedule, in conjunction with the Houston and Texas Central. that inc read could not possibly make, and ran into St. Louis frequently several hours behind time. It was never known fo set into the city on schedule time dur ing the fair On the other hand. the International and Great Northern ad- yertising a longer schedule. got into St. Louis ahead of the Cotton Belt. The former had connection with the Frisco.
 It is to accommodate this long dis tance travel that the new train is in- ausurated principally; but at the same time it will relieve the local trains of that class of traffic which is now congesting them. With the new train service, il is expected. so it is stated, to lessen tho time between Pallas and St Louis by several hours
 The schedule for the new train has not yet been put out, but it is under stood that the officials are at work up. on it. The southbound train will prob- ably pass through here at an early hour in the morning. while the north bound train will reach here late in the afternoon.
