BUREAUCRACY
 PREVENTIVE
A Supervision of Public
 Expenditures Proposed
A Suggestion That House Committees Overlook the Financial Business of the Various Departments.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The fortifica- tions appropriation bill held the atten- tion of the house today and was the text for much heated argument, first over the lax methods of expenditure of public moneys, and second over the location of the proposed $15,OOO, 900 na- val station for the Philippines.
 MT. Gillespie of Texas made an un- successful attempt to get into the re- cord a statement of the grievances of the coal operators and shippers of Pennsylvania and the democratic lead CT, Mir. Williams. inaugurated a fili- buster over the question of adjournment as a retaliation.
 MT. Smith of Iowa in charge of the Qualifications bill, advanced the idea of vitaliziHg ten of the committees of the house charged with the supervision of expenditures in the various govern ment departments. He advocated an amendment to the rules, which will compel reports from these committees annually, these reports to be the re- suit of investigation regarding govern ment expenditures. He urged this as preventive of bureaucracy" toward which he saw a present tendency.

MessrS. ROdey and AinSwOrth Find Space
 in the Friendly Star
Statement by the Latter That if Arizona Were Let Alone the People Would be Nearly Unanimous in Favor of Jointure.

Washington, D. C., Feb 13, (SpaciaD Tho mountain has Iabored and has brought forth what the Washington Star characterizes strong representa- tions in favor or statehood for Arizona and New Mexico"
 The value of these so-calIed strong representations" may be estimated when I tell you that former Attorney General Ainsworth of Arizona and for mer Delegate Rodey of New Mexico who was turned down by his constit- uents last year are responsible for them. They broke into the Star to- night to the extent of a column and their bold misrepresentations are re- ferred to by the Star, which has been couspicuously unfair in the statehood controversy as "sledge hammer blows
 Rodey declares, among other things that both territories are under the con trol of office holders, tax dodgers and special interests and they have been enduring a thraIldom that is appaI- ing" that more than sixty per cent Of New MeXicos population is from the states; that New Mexico has more people from the states in her popula- ton. than Arizona has population ali told; but that the mine owners domi- nate the territory and are therefore against joint statehood and that fin ally there is not an Argument against the present bill that is tenable.
 Ainsworth says that the sentiment among the people of Arizona is that they prefer joint statehood to no statehood and that eff the proposition were submitted to the people of Ari- zona either singly or jointly under certain conditions. viz: That Arizona should nave the joint capital, Phoenix. with the capitol of New Mexico at Santa Fe, the majority of the people of Arizona would favor joint state hood"

forth the grounds of the action.
 As a result of the countess prima facie showing, the court has awarded her the temporary care of her children and a separate domicile at the Castel- lane mansion on the Avenue Du Bois de Boulogne. The effect of this interloc- utory order is to exclude the count from the mansion. as law considers it to be incompatible for two separate domiciles to exist under the same roof. The countess remains with the children and she expects to be joined soon by members of Howard Gould's family.
 Count Boni expresses to friends his deep desolation over the affair and as serts his continued affection for his wife and children. He pays the full est tribute to the wifeIy loyalty of the countess and does not intend to file a cross bill.

her name and stopped short. He was
| fighting fast, but warily, for he real
lied that his present adversary was no
mean one. AS the swords played back
and forth in fierce thrusts and parties
he spoke assuringly to Beverly: Don't
be frightened As soon as / finish with
this fellow we will go on! All! Bravo!
Well parted, my man! How the deuce
could such swordsman as you become
cutthroat of MarlanxY
Beverly had been standing still all
this time, holding the light high above
her head, according to her lovers or
ders, for she knew now that such he
was and that she loved him with all
her heart. She was weird picture
standing there as she watched Baldos
fighting for their lives, her beautiful
face deathlike in its pallor. Not cry
escaped her lips as the sword blades
swished and clashed She could hear
the deep breathing of the combatants
In that tomb-like passage.
Suddenly she started and listened
keenly. From behind her, back there in
the darkness, hurried footsteps were
Enthusiastically approaching. What she
had heard, then, was not the scurrying
Of rat. Some one was following them.
A terrible anguish seized her. Louder

sHave no fear, dear oneI' he sung
cut gayly. His voice was infinitely
more cheerful than he felt, for he real
lied only too well the desperate situa-
don. He was penned in and forced to
meet an attack from front and rear.
He fell upon his assailant with redou-
bled fury, aiming to finish him before
the newcomer could give aid.
| From out of the gloom came fiend-
ish laugh. Instantly the dark figure Of
a man appeared, his face completely
hidden by a broad SLOUGH hat and the
long cloak which enveIoped him. A

Baldos in despair. He had wounded his

Presently ne returned and reported
that the guards could ind no trace Of
any one in the tunnel, but that they
found blood on the floor near the exit
and that the door was wide open.
The two girls looked at eac.i other in
amazement. They We're dumfoanded,
but great relief was glowing in their
eyes.
sEIlos,' inquired the princess, con-
siderabIy less agitated, docs any one

"Well, for the present no one else
must know of his fight. Do you I'M

time comes. You and Max have been
very careless, but suppose you should

"Oh, how clever you are, Yetive,"
came from the American girl. But
what next?"

'-Inls is the end, / fear,p he said,
with grim persistence. She caught her
breath in half Sob Then she arose
resolutely, although her knees trem-
bled shamelessly.
"Well, then, goodby," she said very
steadily. you are free to go where
and to whom you like. Think of me
once in awhile. Baldos. Here's the
key. Hurry! II can't stand 1t much
longerr' She was ready to break down,
and he saw it, but he made no sign.
Turning the key in the rusty lock, he
cautiously opened the door. The moon
lit world lay beyond. A warm, intox-
icating breath of fresh air came in
upon them. He suddenly stopped and
kissed her hand
''Forgive me for having annoyed you
with my poor love- he said as he
stood in the door, looking into the
night beyond.
"All-aH right" she choked out as
she started to close the door after him.
s.HaIt! You are our prisoner
The words rang out sharply in the
silence of the night. Instinctively Bev-
erly made an attempt to close the
door, but she was too late. Two burly,
yillainous looking men, sword in hand,
blocked the exit and advanced upon
them.
s.Back! Backr' Baldos shouted to
Beverly, drawing his sword.
Like a flash she picked up the Ian
tern and sprang out of his way. Cap
ture or worse seemed certain, but her
heart did not fail her.
"Put up your sword! You are under
arrestw came from the foremost of the
two. He had heard enough of Baldos'
skill with the sword to hope that the
ruse might be successful and that he
would surrender peaceably to numbers.
The mems instructions were to take
their quarry alive if possible. The re-
ward for the man living exceeded that
for him dead.
Baldos instantly recognized them as
spies employed by Marlanx. They had
been logging his footsteps for days
and even had tried to murder him.
The desire for vengeance was working
like madness in his blood. He was
overjoyed at having them at the point
of his sword. Beverly's presence
youchsafed that he would show little
mercy.
"Arrest me, you cowardly cursP he
exclaimed. "Never!" With a spring
to one side he quickly overturned one
of the casks, and, pushing it in front
of him, it served as rolling bulwark,
preventing a joint attack.
"You firstl" he cried coolly as his
sword met that of the leader. The I'M
happy wretch was no match for the
finest swordsman in Graustark. He
made a few desperate attemps to ward
off his inevitable fate, calling loudly
for his comrade to aid him. The latter
was eager enough. but Baldos' strate-
gic roll of the cask effectively prevent
ed him from taking a hand. With VI
cious thrust the blade of the goat hunt
er tore clean through the mans chest
and touched the wall behind.
"Onel" cried Baldos, gloating in the
chance that had come to him. The
man gasped and fell. He was none too
quick in withdrawing his dripping
weapon, for the second man was over
the obstacle and upon him.

Body OF Farmer Is Found on Floor OF
His Barn.
Lying on the floor of barn few
feet from a COW dying OF starvation,
the dead body of William Mulenbach,
a wealthy German farmer. was found
in badly decomposed condition by a
neighbor, Eugene Webb, who had
made a search for Mulenbach. fearing
he was sick and needed attention.
The dead man had not been seen for
three days, and the condition Of the
body indicated that life had been ex-
tinct at least two days before 1t was
discovered. The coroner and sheriff
were notified by Webb, and they made
an investigation, but could find moth
ing leading to suspicion of murder
or suicide. They expressed the opin-
ion that the man evidently was seized
with heart failure and died soon after
entering the barn. An inquest was
not deemed necessary.
Mulenbach was a widower and had
lived on farm about three miles from
Aberdeen since 1881. He leaves two
daughters, Mrs. w. Sauck Of Warner
and Mrs Hardtke of Aberdeen.

is Company's License Enough for Sew
eraI Agents.
A feature of what is, known as the
state peddler's license law which has
never been tested in the courts is to
! be legally tested as the result OF the
arrest in Meade county of G. O. Ad-
ans, canvasser for buggy manu-
featuring concern.
Adams was one OF several men in
the employ of the same concern who
were canvassing through Meade and
Brule counties. Under the state law
it is necessary for canvassers Of this
character to pay a county license or
\ $50 The buggy concern did not at
Aempt to evade the payment OF the
license, but took out one license.
Under this license several men were
placed in the field, and the question at
issue. and which has never been de-
cided by the courts, is as to whether
more than one individual representing
the same concern has the right under
the state law to operate under one
license.
