Mrs. Percy Madeira Of Philadelphia

latter part of October, and their plans
now are to remain in the wilds all

To Mrs. Madeira is accorded the
distinction of being the first American
woman to attempt such an expedition,
although several prominent women of
England. accompanying their hus-
bands on similar expeditions, have re-
turned with glowing accounts Of their
life there.
1t is now hinted that one or two
other members of Philadelphia socie-
ty may join Mr.. and Mrs. Madeira,
but nothing definite has been decided.
Mrs. Madeira will join her husband
in his shooting expedition and Is en-
thusiastic over the prospect Of this
novel experience and decided change

ners and general entertaining.

BASELESS CHARGE
AGAINST Mr.. COOK
Recent Articles Shown to
Have Been Due to Incor-I
rect and Misleading
information.

From correspondence with persons In
terested in the suits by Washingtonians
and New York corporations against
capt. William p. Williams, The Times
feels satisfied that the recent articles
in which statements were made i'm
pugning the motives of these claimants
and OF Cassidy Cook, Of New York. IN
their attitude toward Captain williams
were based upon incorrect and mislead-
ing information. Inasmuch as The
Times has always made Il a cardinal
rule not TO reflect upon or prejudice the
merits Of suits. either for or against
anyone. and as some OF the language IN
the dispatches referred 20, especially ar
fecting Mr.. Cook. might create an err
rcneous impression in the minds Of
readers who were not acquainted with
Mr.. Cook. The Times deems fl eminentIy
fair TO MIN 10 say that an examination
as far as IL has been able 10 make as
10 the correctness OF the charges thar
were made against him, makes il evident
that they were without proper fOunda-
ton. and that especially in view Of the

STATE Will Be
WITHOUT FUNDS
Washington Must Issue
Bonds to Garry on
Expenses.

OLYMPIA, Oct 1.-THE state of
Washington will "go broke" by Mo-
vember / October expenditures will
have depleted the general fund entire
ly, and another bond Issue will be ne
cessary to meet the expenses until
money comes in from taxation. The
first receipts of any magnitude will be
due in January, when the annual IL
censes and fees of the state insurance
department are paid, and the take pay
ments are not due until March. Dur
ing the interim, of course, the general
fund will receive small amounts from
time to time, but nothing compared
with the expenses.
The plan of doing away with idle
funds and paying all money from the
general fund has it's drawbacks as well
as it's advantages. The money that
formerly went into the fish hatchery
fund and the penitentiary revolving
fund, for example, now goes into the
general fund, and by the same token
comes out again. The general fund
nluSI the JotO LhAAA
expenses for the rest of the year until
the next seasons crop of bags are sold,
as practically all of this years output
has been sold and the jute mill receipts
will be comparatively nil for severa
months. Although no actual increase
Of expenses is made by the change, II
gives the state financiers something
further to think about when trying tc
keep the state off warrant basis.
