CHARGE AGAINST PERSHlNG.
Philippine Career of New Erigadier
General Under Scrutiny.

General Under Scrutiny.
Kansas City, Dec. 20. The Star print
ed a cablegram from Manila saying
that the Manila American published
sensational assertions regarding Briga-
der General John ] Pershing, who
was recently jumped over the heads Of
6O5 officers of superior rank and made
a brigadier general Prior to his nomi-
nation by the president last September
Pefshing had been captain in the
Fifteenth cavalry.
The Manila American makes the
statement that it has completed an in
vestigation of Pershings career in the
Philippines and finds that Pershing
while serving as captain on the is
land of Mindanao had an experience
which somewhat rivals the famous
case of Lieutenant Burbank, who was
court martiaied. It was charged that
Burbank was about to marry a Leav-
enworth girl when he was in reality
the husband of Filipino woman. The
latter assertion was proved. Lieuten-
ant Burbank is now serving term in
the United States penitentiary.
The case of PershiEg is slightly diff
ferent. He was married year ago to
the daughter of United States Senator
Warren of Wyoming.
The Manila American asserts that
Pershing lived with Philippine wo-
man, Joaquina Bondoy l2nacio, in the
Philippines One Of their children died
in the cholera epidemic in 1902 The
other, who is four and one-half years
old, lives with her mother in Zambo-
anga. The mother is now the legal
wife of William Shinn, government
clerk

That she Has Been Rob-
bed of 1885 Worth of Gold
and Diamonds.
ONE OF A THOUSAND SHOPPERS
FAULT FOUND WITH THE PRESENT
CONDITION OF THE POLICE DE-
PARTMENT-No REFLECTION ON
ACTING INSPECTOR HOPKINS, BUT
CITIZENS DEMAND PROPER Po-
LICE PROTECTION.

Mrs. Tarlee, of No. 2S4 Ninth street.
was yesterday afternoon robbed OF $2S5
worth of jewelry. Her fiat was entered
by a sneak thisf. who eidently had
noticed the fact that the Chief of Police
had been deoosed, that numerous de5ec-
tives had been deoosed, and that men
who to use the language of Police Com
missioner Mitchell, .had not yet been
graduated from the duties of acting
partolmen." had been advanced over the
heads Of superio officers.
Mrs. Farlee is only one of the thousands
of mothers in this icty who are busy at
this time of the year doing their Christ
mas shopping. Their husbands. busy at
in their offices and shops, to furnish the
money for this. They don't like the idea
of having their houses rifled of valuables
while their wives are thus shopping In
most Instances themse stolen pieces OF
jewelry reprensen the working mans love
for his home and his family. There have
been several of these cases reported late
lyand no one win find fault with Act
ing Inspector Hopkins. But the general
comment is that the police conditions al
present. as brought about by Mayor Fa-
gan, advised by George L. Record, is
almost inteolerable. Mr. George L. Rec
ard may say to the Chief How do you
do Chief, this is painful duty for mem, .
but the public recognizes the hoIlowness
of his voice and utterance and they will

the fall of the Confederacy is told in
Mrs. Avary's book, Dixie After the

Ca, Mr.. Davis had heard that maraud-

was reused at dawn by his negro sery-
ant, who said troops were coming.
Mrs. Davis begged her husband to
leave His horses and weapons were
near the road down which the cavalry
was coming In the darkness of the
tent he caught up what he took to be
his raglan, sleeveless waterproof
garment. 1t was hers. She then
threw a shawl over his head, He
went out of the tent, she keeping near.

carbine at him. Mr. Davis dropped

about her husband and lost him his
one chance Of escape, for he might
have slipped away in the dark.

Legislation Looking to Relief Of
Present Situation Being
Prepared.
PRESIDENT IS INTERESTED.
Law Suggested to Senator Purposes
Giving More Power to Interstate
Commerce Commission to Regulate
Movement Of Cars - South Dakota
Legislator Elames New Rate Law.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Hans
brough IN. d., who has taken an ac-
tive interest in steps TO remedy the
situation caused by the car shortage,
particularly in the northwest, has pre-
pared the outlines of legislation which,
he believes, If enacted into law, will
tend to prevent recurrence of the
present condition OF affairs. These
have been shown to the president, at
whose suggestion the senator's ideas
were put into shape They contem-
plate legislation along the following
lines:
Giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to inquire into the equip
ment capacity under stress of extraor-
dinary requirements Of all interstate
railways so as to judge as to their abil-
ity to move traffic under extraordinary
conditions
Giving the commission authority to
require shippers holding cars in de-
murrage to unload and reload such cars
within twentyfour hours after the cars
have been placed in a position to be
unloaded
Misdemeanor to Move Heavy Trains.
Making it misdemeanor for common
carriers to compel trainmen to attempt
to move trains containing tonnage in
excess of the registered tonnage ca
pacity Of the engines hauling such
trains
Authorizing the commission to re-
quire the temporary use OF idle equip
ment OF one railroad line to supplement-
the .overtaxed equipment Of the other.
Senator Kittredge Is. d said that
the coal famine in the northwest is the
result of the requirement Of the amend
ed interstate commerce law, under
which the railroads have to give thirty
days. notice before changing q rate
and also the result of the action Of the
retailers in putting off shipment of coal
until they conld have the advantage
of the new rate. The senator added
about Oct. 1 the railroads gave no
tice Of a rate on coal 20 per cent less
than the rate then in force The re-
tail dealers to have all the advantaa4
of this rafe allowed the entire month
of October to pass By before ordering
coal. The result was that tile railroads
were not able to ship Il fast enough" /"
Car Builders Blamed.
Dispatches from St. Louis say that
the investigation by the interstate com
merce commission into the general
shortage Of freight cars was resumed. ].
Prominent railrcad men say the pres
ent famine in RAILROAD cars Is due to
the inability Of car manufacturing

companies.

Prefers Selling Butter.

G. p. Russell, who has a farm
southwest from Minot, milks IA
COWS and is making butter. He
formerly sold cream, but believes
his income from the COWS is lar
ger when he makes butter. He
makes a good article which sells
readily to steady customers the
year round for 25 cents pound
and he is making 20 pounds a
week now. This makes him near
ly SIS a week. Mr.. Russell OF
course works very hard and
generally pegs away eighteen
hours a day. He states that he
has figured the financial question
down pretty we'll and concludes
that the earnings of but two
hours of that time are Russell's,
while the balance goes to the
bloated bond holders. Notwith-
standing this fact, Russell is
rapidly becoming one of the we'll
to do men of Ward county.
