AUDITING SYSTEM is BEGUN
work of Examining Accounts in
County Offices starts in District
Clerks Department.

Commissioners IRE, Solomon and Ken
nard of the county board finance commit
tee and County Auditor Smith spent most
of the forenoon Friday in the district
clerks Office looking over the records pre-
paratory to auditing the accounts of the
office. i'm accordance with a resolution
passed by the board. The actual work OF
auditing will begin within a few days. but
none OF the commissioners has a very
clear idea as TO how long 1t will take. The
methods upon which the committee will
work have not been determined.
After the committe finishes the clerk $
and sherins offices it is probable it will
take the other offices i'm their turn.
1--WE probably will so through the whole
building while we are at it," said Mr.
IRE. 1T will be more satisfactory to all
concerned If we know just what the con-
ditions are in every office. The books have
not been audited for a long time and it is
no more than right TO ourselves. the tax
payers and the rcounty officials themselves
that we make a thorough examination OF
all the records
No such inspection, 1t is said, has been
made since the district clerks office was
put on a salary basis.

ELECTRIC SIGNAL SYSTEM
Automatic Devices for Protection Of Harri-

TO RUN FROM OMAHA TO LOS ANGELES
VIII Cost Three Million Dollars
aud Make Longest such Line
of Railroad in the
world.

Two thousand. three hundred and forty
two miles Of automatic electric block siE-
nals-the longest such line OF railroad IN
the world stretching from Omaha through
San Francisco and on to Los Angeles, Is
the latest Improvement ordered by e a.
Hartman
Mr.. Hartman has given authority TO J.
Kruttschntt director of maintenance ana
operation of his lines, to establish this
system along the Union Pacific from Omaha
to Ogden and over the Southern Pacific
from Ogden to San Francisco, thence down
through Cotton and into Los Angeles
The distance from Omaha to San Fran
cisco is 1900 and from San Francisco to
Los Angeles, $40 miles. This is the route
of the Overland Limited and is the latest
method employed by Hartman to perfect
the facilities of travel already brought W
TO such high standard by the series OF
recent improvements.
Mr.. Hartman has ordered that only the
most modern and effective system Of auto
matte electric signals be used. AS to the
cost of the innovation he has made that u
matter OF secondary consideration 1t will
reach between $1,000 and 81, 200 mile, ag-
gregating about 100000 The work is to
begin as soon as possible and rushed to
completion before the close of the current
year. This when finished will give the
Union and Southern Pacific 1851 miles OF
line protected by automatic electric signals.

WILL AMEND RESOLUTION
House Takes Steps to Meet Presidents
Objections to Tillman Act,
FUNDS FOR USE OF THE COMMISSION
In CONDUCTING OIL and CoaI InvesttEa-
ton q VIII he Granted Powers
to send for Persons
and Papers.

WASHINGTON. March "a resolution
and bill designed to cure the defects
President Roosevelt pointed out in the
Ttllman resolution for tho investigation by.
the Interstate Commerce commission Of
railroad determinations and monopolies
were introduced today in the house the
resolution by Representative Townsend Of
Michigan and the bill by Representative
Gillespie OF Texas Mr.. Townseni's resolu-
ton provides an appropriation of $4,000 to
carry on the investigation and the Gillespie
bill makes an appropriation of 100000 for
the same purpose.
The Townsend resolution provides that
the Interstate Commerce commission shall
have under tho Tillman- Gillespie resolution
all the power TO subpoena witnesses, TO
compel them to testify and to produce
documentary evidence which II enjoys under
the interstate commerce act. II also pro-
vides that witnesses shall enjoy the same
rights and immunties in this investiga-
ton that they enjoy under the interstate
commerce act. Similar provisions are
made in the Gillespie bill. Under the GIL
lespie bill the Interstate Commerce com
mission is permitted to avoid the duplica-
ton Of investigations by the adoption of
findings of any other department of the
government which has investigated any
particular matter coming under the scope
of the inquiry.
Statement by MIR. gillespie.
In explanat ton of his bill and in reply to
objections offered by the president TO the
Tillman resolution, Mr.. Gillespie said to-
day:
| am glad the president signed the reso-
luton and the same has become law, al
though in doing so he sent message 10
congress that will, fear, defeat the quick
results that otherwise might have been
reached by the commission i'm the investiga-
ton. His message conveys to the guilty
parties a doubt as to its power to compel
the production Of books and papers. OF
course, they will take advantage of this
doubt and urge it against every step the
commission may take.
OF the presidents objection that If the
Investigations were carried on to the full
extent of its provisions il might cause i'm
munity from punishment to those guilty OF
the unlawful conspiracy, Mr.. Gillespie said
| must say that l do not think any OF
these high criminals are trembling IN
theiE boots from fear of Imprisonment as
things are now, and If all of them should
escaD c IMPRISONMENT by rushing to the
commission and unbosoming themselves we
would sec Just as many frcnzed ttnanciers
I'm TAIL as II no investigation mad been
held Besides, we ought to give the COM
mission the benefit Of the DOUBT on the
question that they, as officials OF the gov
eminent are interested i'm the enforcement
OF the law and that they would not take
any steps to turn a criminal loose II IL were
possible to get the truth. The truth Is
what is demanded.

TALON Of the Sixth Infantry, commanded
by Colonel Duncan in January. Colonel
Duncan was the senior officer on the field
save Major General Wood and Brigadier
General Bliss. Assuming that the organi-
cations were up to their normal strength
there were about 400 soldiers in the action
besides the naval contingent, the strength
OF which Is so far unknown. II is be-
lieved however, that owing to the sick
list and other causes there were probably
not more than 400 of the military engaged.
The strength of the constabulary is also
unknown.
The oficial dispatch does not enable the
officers here 10 place exactly the scene of
the combat The only crater known on the
island OF Jolo is well toward the center
OF the island and some distance removed
from the capital, which is on the sea coast.
General Bates Talks.
There is however, near the city OF Jolo,
distance only Ave miles a mountain an
swering closely, save for the crater, the
description Of that I'm the official dispatch.
This mountain was controlled by two
dattos-Calbi and Joakinine-the latter one
OF the ohieftains who signed the famous
Bates treaty. The mountain is very steep
and at its apex is a Moro fortress which
had never been taken by white troops.
Lieutenant General Bates. chief of stan,
who had active service in the southern
islands OF the Philippine archipelago and
is as well acquainted with the Jolo coun-
try probably ms any officer here, has no
fear that this last trouble will extend
throughout the group. In the first place
he says. there Is no hOmoegenity among
these island troops; strong jealousies exist
and It has been impossible for them to CO.
operate with the whites. 1t is believed
that the Moros attacked were really a sci
OF robbers and that the action was un-
doubtedly precipitated by General Woods
determination to eXterminate them at any
cost II they could not otherwise be sub
| dued.

Disturbance Purely Local.
SAN FRANCISCO, March s.-Major Gen
eral Corbin, recently in command of the
division of the Philippines, read with much
interest the Associated Press news of the
fight on the Island of Jolo. He said:
This encounter has no bearing on the
Philippine situation. The Moros are reli-
Rious fanatics and are not amenable to
the influence OF other peoples. They owe
medan faith and are liable to cause trouble
at any time. Their acts have no more
EelallOn 10 the conduct OF the Ftlipinos
than the Apache outbreaks in former days
In Arizona with the situation in other states
and territories.
No man can tell what the Moros are
going to do. They are just as likely to
fight among themselves as to attack others
When an individual Moro feels what he
calls an inspiration he runs amuck and
ways existed and, presumably, always will
until the race becomes extinct. However,
we are now educating many OF their chill
dren and from this enlightened generation
there may soon come new and better
type of Moro.
