PHILIPPINE SCANDAL.
Ofiicer in Quarterrnastcr's Department Charged With MisappropriatIon of
 Funds at Manila.

Manila. Sept. 20.--Capt Ira l.. Fredenhall, of the quartermaster's de- partment, was charged in the court of first instance in this city Wednesday afternoon with misappropriation of public funds. The filing of these charges Is the continuation of exten- sive investigations by the insular au- thorities into an alleged series of frauds perpetrated by members of the ouartermasters department in the Philippines. The inquiry resulted in the discovery of padded payrolls in quartermaster's shops and grafting in the lease of lighters. Both officers and civilians are implicated and court martials will follow the court pro- ceedings. Maj Gen. Wood continued the inquiry originally begun by Maj. Gen Corbin. The result of the in- vestigation has been great saving Tn transportation funds and a decrease in graft, such as the manufacture of furniture. etc, in the shops for the private use of the officers and civil ians. High officials in the army and government are said to have been the benefciaries.

 AN OFF YEAR FOR GRAND
 DUKES.

The news of a panic among the grand dukes is waited to our shores from the realm of the Romanoffs. The high and mighty magnates of the bureaucracy are skurrying off to Paris, to Vienna, to Berlin and to other European capitals, where, it is hoped by the noble fugitives, the terrorists will cease from troubling and the despots by divine right will be at rest.
 It must be violent recoil indeed hereditary tyranny that has caused such an exodus from land where the common people were supposed to be, so recently. securely subject to the ruling classes. But it is noth- ing more than repitition of history. It was bound to come. Humanity will stand for just so much in this world whether in darkest Russia or anywhere else and then to borrow an apt illustration from Mme. Pompadour comes the del uge." 1t will not be forgotten that Paris, the gay and smiling haven to which the Russian grand dukes are now fiocking, was drenched once upon time with the blood of mon archists and idle yoluptuaries not

more cruel or odious than the Rus sian royalists who have fled from their native land.
 And so, the world moves on. The lesson that has been recorded in fateful carmine in Russia has been set forth elsewhere in characters less vivid but not less significant and prophetic. It is a period of popular assertion of human rights. It is not an suspicious time for tyranny in any of it's multiple manifestations It is an off year for grand dukes of all sorts and conditions.

THE NEW YORK PRIMARIES.
nurphy Retains Control of Tnmmany Hali-Gov. Odeli Defeated by
 H. +. Parsons.

New York, Sept 20.--According to the returns and the reported afilia- tion of the leaders elected at the democratic primaries, Charles F. Mur- phy will be in control of 24 votes in the executive committee of Tammany hall, representing 20 districts and will control 60 of the 105 delegates to the democratic state conventions.
 These 60 votes will enable the Tam many leader, if he so desires, to ap- ply the unit rule and cast the vote of Tammany hall solidly for the can 6idate determined upon by majority of the delegates. Up to the present time Mir Murphy has made no state ment as to his intentions in this re- spect but during the primary cam paign 1t was generally understood that MT Murphy was friendly to Hearst. Murphy's victory, however, is believed to preclude the possi- bility of District Attorney Jerome se- curing the New York county dele cation to the state convention.
 III IoIOOhfJH NtdtC CChdeoA uthfNn F. McCarren retains control of the county democratic committee and will control 63 of the 69 delegates to the state convention.
 In the republican party Herbert E. Parsons president of the county re- publican committee. defeated the forces headed by former Gov. Odell and Lemuel E. Quigg. Parsons car ried P of the B districts The de- feat of Odell in New York county may take from him the control of the state committee of which he is chairman.
 There was no opposition to William R. Hearst in the democratic primar- les in Erie county Tuesday and the full county delegation. including Buff falo. will be instructed for him.

KANSAS CASHIER MISSING.
Otto ID. Stoliard, of the Peoples Nfaionai Bank of Sedan, Kansas, is a
 Defaulter.


 Sedan, Kan, Sept. 21.--Otto D. Stall lard, cashier of the Peoples National bank of Sedan, disappeared Tuesday night and has not been heard from since. He left a letter addressed to his wife stating that shortage ex- isted in his accounts and that he could not bear the disgrace of having if found out
 The president and vice president of the institution took charge of the bank Wednesday morning and notified the national bank examiner, James F. Bradley, of Topeka. He was expected here Thursday to take charge of the bank.
 The bank was organized several years ago as savings institution, but was nationalized about one year ago and capitalized at s2s.000. The last report to the comptroller at the close of business on September 4 showed the bank to be in a prosper ous condition. but Stallard's letter to his wife Wednesday morning stated that he had been manipulating the accounts of the bank for some time and at last he had been detected.
 Mrs. Stallard Is prostrated and physicians have been attending her all day. Other members of the fam fly refuse to give out the full con- tents of the letter left by Stallard but 1t is reliably stated that the sub stance is to the effect that the books have been doctored for months. It was impossible for him to hide the deception any longer.

Havana. Sept. 2l--The leaders oI inc revolutionary movement nave called all the generals in the heia U conference in Havana. They are safe from molestation during the truce.
 The taking of testimony was con tinued Thursday at the home oI American Minister Morgan at Mari- anao. Gen. Menocal, the head or the veterans. said to the Associated press that he believed Secretary Taft was bound to find q solution of the difn- culty. He is delighted with the sec i retaryss forcefui tact in securing all basic facts bearing on the matter. Gen. Menoeal considers his own work at an end and has turned over his reports to Secretary Taft.
 Government officials maintained the same attitude Thursday as eWdnes- day. saving there is no reason to re- eede from that position. They hold that the present situation is not due so much to the strength of the rebels as to the unpreparedness of the gov ernment which now is in fairly good position. Secretary Taft spent the morning in receiving callers who arc seeking to influence the actions Of the mediators.
 Gov. Nunez, of Havana province, has been telling Secretary Taft that the elections of last year were per fectly constitutional and that there does not exist sufficient reason for oancell.ng them. He urged strongly that the present government be up- held
 Congressman F'lorencio Villuendas, brother of the member of congress who was killed at Cienfuegos year ago, set forth that the killing of his brother was one of the causes of the present trouble and endcavored tc show that the government was re- sponsible for this murder Vice Pres ident Mendez Capote continued his testimony before the mediators and after him Alfredo zayas, the liberal leader, was heard.
 As the testimony is given, Messrs Taft and Bacon listened carefully and stenographers take notes. The medi- ators, however. do not voice the slightest opinion or suggestion or policy. It is evident that the hearing will be long one.

 Washington. Sept. 2l.-Gen. Fred | eriek Funston, who arrived in Wash ington Thursday. remained but a short time as the instructions of Sec retary Taft when he left here fol Cuba were that Gen.

The Breath of Life.

It's significant fact that the strongest animal of it's size, the gor- rilla, also has the largest lungs. Powerful lungs means powerful creatures. How to keep the breath ing organs right should be man s chiefest study. Like thousands of others, Mrs. Ora A. Stephens, of Port Williams, O., has learned how to do this.
