PLAN MURPHY'S OVERTHROW.
Justice O'GOrman to Be Slated for
Tammany Leadership.

NEW YORK, August There is
new movement in Tammany Hall
to depose Charles F. Murphy as
leader. The movement was started
in Carlsbad, Germany, a meeting of
prominent Tammanyites sojourning
at the leading hotels to consider the
future of resort having been held at
one of the organization.
Information of this meeting and of
the conclusion reached, to work for
the removal of Murphy, was obtain.
ed today from one of those who
took a prominent part in the pro-
ceedings. 1t was not only decided
that Murphy must go, but there was
also an agreement upon his success
sor. The man selected by the Carls-
bad conference as the most available
candidate for the leadership was
Justice James A O'Gorman.

GENERAL INCREASE IN PROPERTY
Reflected in Land Values as in
Others.

The gratifying increase in proper
ty values in Sumter, as shown by the
Times-Recorder this morning, is the
same all over the State, and espec-
tally in the value of realty. The
steady increase in the number of
manufacturing plants, the substanti-
al and unceasing expansion of cities
and towns and construction of
more steam and electric railroads in
Georgia to a degree unprecedented
in the history of the State have
made lands more valuable and caus-
ed them to be in greater demand.
This is true alike of suburban, tim
Der, and farm lands. The existence
of a new industrial era, the perman-
ency of which is guaranteed by large
and increasing investments of cap
ital both local and from other sec
lions, is imparting new values to
lands, thereby giving more nearly
commensurate Importance to prop
erty that in large measure is not
only a barometer of business pros
perity, but a basis of commercial
worth.

CORTELYOU SNUBS
GARFIELD'S SCHEME
MUST SWEAR ALL THE BILLS
Garfield Undertook TO Do Away With
Regulation Checking Tempta-
ton TO Fraud.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August Z.
Secretaries Cortelyou and Garfield
have laid the foundation for fine
official quarrel Some time ago Mr..
Garfield issued a regulation for the
the officers and clerks of his depart
ment which permitted them to file ex-
pense accounts without swearing to
their accuracy and truth. Mr.. Gar
field figured he was going to save the
Government many thousands of dol
lars each year in notorial fees. These
fees range from II cents in the city
of Philadelphia to 81 in some of the
Western States.
Until the Garfield regulation was
issued, every time an employee or Off
Ger of the Government gave a porter
a tip of so cents and had not time
to take the porters receipt for it, he
had to go before a notary and swear
that he had really given the tip. Gar
field figured that was foolishness, so
he changed the regulation as to eX-
pense bills. He also figured that if
the Government could not trust the
men it sent out to look after its bust
ness it had better get other men,
Robert T. Traceweu, Comptroller of
the Treasury, who passes on all ques-
lions of law relating to disbursements
of money, and George B. Cortelyou,
his official superior, think otherwise.
They think the jurat is necessary, be-
cause they believe the law requires
veriication under OATH Tracewell
and Cortelyou have put out a new
method of accounting for money dis
bursed by the Government, in which
they set aside the Garfield regulation
without mentioning it or without hav-
ing consulted the most prominent
members of the tennis Cabinet
In that new system of accounting
they distinctly ordered that expense
| accounts shall be verified under oath
"as HERETOFORE" In no other place is
there anything to indicate that Sec
rotary Cortelyou has consulted with
his colleague and given him an oppor-
| tunity to withdraw the regulation
made by him. In view of the stand
ing of Garfield at the White House
Cortelyou's action shows wonderful
temerity. The only way Garfield can
resent this cold official ignoring OF
him and his act is to appeal to the
President.

MAIL REGISTRY NO CLAIM
Government viii indemnify Loss Only
Up to S25.

" W P-os
WASHINGTON, d. c., August T.
The registration of mail does not i'm
ply guarantee of safe arrival, nor
does it constitute a claim for reim-
bursal in case of loss, unless the value
does not exceed $25 Most people
have the opposite impression. Reg
istration is merely intended to aid in
tracing lost mail.
1t remained for a country lawyer to
wake up the officials of the Postoffice
Department on the subject by call
ing to their attention the wording of
the registry circular which was form
erly circulated broadcast over the
country. 1t said something about
the Government guaranteeing the
safe delivery of a registered letter or
parcel"
When the lawyer put in a claim
against the Post Office Department for
a client who had lost a letter by
reason of the destruction of the regis
tered mail the department sat up
and took notice about the wording
which was cited to them by the at
torney. The result was an immediate
cancellation of the wording about
guaranteeing the safe delivery.
When a postal car is lost in a
railroad wreck and the registered
mail is burned, there is no way to
reimburse the sender, except under
new law, which requires the sender
to make oath to the value of the con-
tents and then, on application and
proof of the same beins seIits he is
only entitled to be Unidentified to the
amount of $25, providing the original
amount was that much or more. So,
If a postal car or ship is destroyed and
the registered mail lost, the sender
Of money Or valuables through the
mails is sure to be loser, although
that is the safest way to send it.
In all cases of accident the first
thing done by those reaching the mails
is to save, if possible, the registered
mail. Then the other mail is consid-
cred. In cases where the mails go
down with ships the Government Of
Gals always make an effort to raise
the mails and dry them out so that
they will find their way to their des-
tination
