SUIT TO SET ASIDE TRANSFER.
Proceedings by William W. Smith
Against A. L. Barber and Others.

William Wheeler Smith Of New York, who
recently secured judgment by default for
$2S, S42 IL against AMI L. Barber of this
city, today filed suit in equity against
Mr.. Barber, his wife, Julia Louise Lang
don Barber, John j. Albright, the Wash
ington Loan and Trust Company and AL
bert A. Wilson and John B. Larner, trus-
tees, to set aside the conveyance of Bel
mont, Mr.. BARRIERS home, at 18th street
and Florida avenue. The court is also asked
to appoint a receiver for the property and
to enjoin Trustees Wilson and Larner from
Offering the real estate for sale under
deed of trust pending the disposition of
this proceeding. Mr.. Smith also asks that
trustees be named by the District Supreme
Court with power to sell the land in con-
troversy and after paying off the trust I'M
der which Wilson and Larner are trustees,
to apply the balance to the satisfaction of
his judgment.
The complainant, by Attorneys Cuttings
and Chamberlain, informs the court of the
securing of q judgment in the state of
New York for the amount named and its
subsequent transfer to this jurisdiction and
the action of this court. He further de-
clares that supplemental proceedings were
instituted in Erie county, New York, In
aid of the execution issued to the sheriff
of that county, in which John j. Albright
was examined as person holding property
of the defendant Barber. There, 1t is
ment dated March IA, 1903, between Mr..
Barber and himself. This agreement, Mr..
Smith charges, was made to hinder and
delay Mr.. BARRIERS creditors, as 1t is al
legged the agreement shows on its face that
Mr.. Barber conveyed to Mr.. Albright prop
erty worth between 81, 100000 and 81, 500, 900
to secure certain Endorsements, which, 1t
is averred, did not exceed 100000.
. 1t is alleged that Monday, March II,
1907, Mr.. Barber placed on record a deed
bearing date of July II. 1903, conveying to
his brother-in-law, John j. Albright, the
property known as Belmont. Mr. Smith
says this transfer is made for the purpose
of defeating the collection of his judgment.
The property named it is alleged, is incum-
bered by a trust to Albert A. Wilson and
John b. Larner to secure the payment Of
500 600 to the Washington Loan and Trust
Company and constitutes it is averred, the
only property owned by Mr.. Barber in this
Jurisdiction out of which any judgment at
law could be satisfied. MIR. Smith says he

has been reduced to $4,000.

PRESIDENT OBJECTS
DISAPPRoVES ACQUITTAL OF
CAPT. KoEHLER.

President Roosevelt has dsapproved Of
the findings of acquittal in the case of
Capt. Lewis NJ. Koehler, 4th Cavalry. II.
3. A. Capt. Koehler was charged with
using dlsrespectful language in an appeal
from the action Of Gen. Leonard Wood,
the division commander, who reprimanded
Capt. koehler for making charges against
Maj. Scott, commanding officer at the Jolo
military post and civil governor of Jolo,
with conduct unbecoming an officer and
gentleman in making unfounded and ma
licious statements regarding his command
ing officer, and with characterization The
first court-martial sentenced him to be
reprimanded, and the second court martial.
quilted him.
The case involves a controversy original
ly between Capt. Koehler and Maj Hugh
L. Scott, formerly on Gen. Woods STAFF
ana now superintendent Of the West Point
academy AS result of that controversy
Capt. Koehler was tried and sentenced to
be reprimanded by Gen. Wood.
He complained that the reprimand be-
cause OF Gen. Woods close friendship for
Maj. Scott, had been unnecessarily severe
and unjust, and In making an appeal to
the War Department criticised Gen. Wood,
which led to his second court-martial, the
finding of which the President has dsap-
proved.
Although the court exonerates Capt
koehler. and he is accordingly restored to
duty, Secretary Taft, in his letter to the
President reviewing the case, points out
that the President cannot approve the
finding without necessarily affirming Capt.
Koehler's statements concerning Gen.
Wood. Furthermore, Secretary Taft shows
that to approve the finding 1t would be in
cumbent upon the President to order a
court-martial of his warmn personal friend
and former superior in command of the
Rough Riders.
AS the President, as the reviewing au-
thority, cannot change a verdict of acquit-
tai into one of conviction, all that he can
do to show his dissatisfaction with the YER
dict and to save Gen. Wood from a court
martial is to disapprove the finding, which
he does.

When the Time Comes He Will Be q

tor Asserts.

ST. LOUIS, March 23.-Former Senator
Joseph Ralph Burton, the first United States

way to his home at Abilene, Kan. He held
an informal reception on the train and dis
cussed President Roosevelt at length.
"A Master Hypocrite."

ton, repeating a question put to him. II
would say that he is always a candidate,
and has been since he was old enough to
vote.
"A master hypocrite, he can successfully
mislead the public into the idea that he Is
for some one else for the nomination, but
when the time comes he will be the candi-
date. He has already succeeded in making
the party leaders declare that the Roosevelt
policy must be pursued. The next thing we
will hear is that If the Roosevelt policy is
to continue Roosevelt is the proper man
for the nomination.
That is precisely what Roosevelt is hop
ing to see happen and from the outlook 1t
does not appear that he will be disappoint-
ed. He killed off La Toilette by being
friendly to Spooner. Shaw was sdetracked
when Roosevelt took up the cause of Cum
Minis. Shaw saw the handwriting on the
wall and left the cabinet to accept posi-
ton in New York. Foraker has been at

friendliness to Taft-and who is left in the
race? No one but Roosevelt.
HE is using Taft like flirting wife
would impose on a foolish husband to cover
up her unfaithfulness. When the time comes
he will cast poor old Taft aside and &C
cept the nomination for a third term, which
he hopes will be thrust upon him. Taft ism
big enough for the presidency. He is simply
the tool of Roosevelt who may throw Root
into the race to make the waters muddy

shifted into the race, but none of them
can be taken seriously save Roosevelt, who,
though not openly a Candidate, is playing
his cards to bring about his nomination for
a third term, and he will get it.
Two Kinds of Hypocrites.

I'VE read in Scripture about the Savior
healing the leper, curing the sick. making
the blind to see and the lame to walk, but
nowhere in Biblical history do we read Of
Christ either forgiving curing the hypo-

There are two kinds of hypocrites. One
is the smooth, oily, scheming, humble in

PAY OF RURAL CARRIERS.
Adjustment Of Salaries by the Post.
master General.

Under the recent act of Congress making
appropriations for the postal service for the
ensuing fiscal year the Postmaster General
may fix the salaries of carriers in the rural
delivery service at a rate not exceeding
$500 per annum after July l. The highest
rate now paid under existing law is $720 per
annum The readjustment of salaries under
the new law has not been fully determined,
but II is proposed to allow the maximum
rate ($90O) to all carriers on routes twenty
four or more miles in length, as shown by
the records of the department. This will
give, approximately, %, 800. or about 60 per
cent of the carriers, an advance in salary
of $50 per annum.
A substantial increase in pay for other
carriers Is contemplated, but the chief ben
eficiaries of the new law will be those serv-
ing the longer routes. upon whom the
greater hardships of the service fall Car
riers on the shorter routes, ranging from
twelve to fourteen and from fourteen to
sixteen miles in length, now receive $5O4 and
$40 per annum, respectively, being pro-
portionately better paid than carriers on
routes Of twenty or more miles.
The pay of substitute rural carriers will
also be increased in many cases. At pres.
ent the law provides that substitutes EN-.
ployed when the regular carriers are on
vacation shall be paid at the rate of $eO(
per annum, regardless Of the rate of pay
Of the regular carriers. The new law pro-
vides that substitute carriers shall receive
compensation at the same rate allowed the
regular carriers.
This advance in pay for carriers and sub
stituted II Is estimated, will result in ar
approximate increase of $4,000 in the
cost Of rural delivery service.
Under existing law the rates of pay fol
rural carriers are graded as follows:
Routes "a miles and upward. $72O pei
annum; % to a., $702; % to %, 1854; p t.
