the amount Of money appropriated and
expended last year in the intere SITS of
Tree public libraries according to law
VIII DE a little late in getting the 10
per cent. of the amount appropriated
winch is allowed by the State as a
stipend. The law which provides for
the filing of this certificate with the
Governor and Council is Sec. of Chap
242 of the Public Laws of 1888, as
amended by Chapters 45 and 10 of the
Public Laws Of 1895, relating 10 free Ii
braries, and the amended section reads
as follows:
"Sect 2. The municipal officers in
any town or city where Il free public
library is established, shall annually,
on the first day Of May. certify to the
Governor and Council the amount Of
money appropriated and expended by
said town or city during the preceding
year, for the purchase of books and
documents for the use and benefit of
such free public library, and for the
payment Of the running expenses there
of; and the Governor, with the advice
and consent of the council shall draw
a warrant on the State treasurer for
the purchase Of books for the nse Of
such library, for sum equal to ten per
cent. of the amount expended by said
town. as certified by its municipal
officers"
The number of towns which have flied
their certificates since the first of May

The total amount claimed by the
towns for stipend is $451. The appro-
priation made by the last Legislature
for free public libraries was $500. and
of that appropriation the sum of
$5,24i.49 has already been paid out in
stipends. leaving a balance Of $255.51.
Although the appropriation for this
purpose was increased $500 by the last
LEGISLATURE the sum still seems to be
insufficient, owing to the growth of the
libraries in the state and the interest
which is being taken in the work,
which is matter that cannot be csti-
mated in advance.

Army Captain Is Soon 10 be Found Guilty
or EyOneraled on Charge Of
Misconduct,

Washington, D. c. Dec. go
The findings Of the Philippine court
martial in the case OF Captain Lewis
NJ, Koehler. charged with using dis
respectful language in referring TO
a superior officer Major General
Leonard Wood, are expected to
reach Washington within few days
and will be promptly reviewed By
the secretary OF war The case has
given rise to scandal OF consider
able proportions IN Philippine milf
tary circles, 1t originated in crit
icism Of Major Hugh l.. Scott by
Captain Koehler at the battle Of
Mount Dajo, where the former was
in command
According to the reports That.

lions for the enlisted men at Mount.

Scott to take steps for tho imme-
diate improvement OF conditions.

10 IS said, paid no attention toI
Captain Koehlers request. The lat-
ter was angered by what no consid-
cred the intolerable and unnecessary
state OF affairs ana sent commu-
nlcation TO military headquarters at
Manila charging Scott with gross
neglect Of the duties deyolyipg upon
a commander.
Using this letter as the basis Of
the charge, General Wood ordered
court martial for Captain Koohlor
for using dlsrespectful language in
referring to Major Scott. The YER
dict was that Koehler's criticism OF
his superior officer were unneces-
sary, but did not deny their truth,
AZ tho conclusion OF the court mar
tiol General Wood reprimanded
Koehlcr, and the latter appealed to
che secretary OF war, accusing Wood
OF favoritism and prejudice. For
this crime second court martial
was ordered and IL is the findings
in the trial that The secretary Of
war will pass upon within a few
days.
