well-educated girl, living at 321 East 117th

tectives are convinced that through her
story they will solve the mystery.
Teachers Warn Girl Pupils.
Public excitement in the neighborhood Of
the Boylan girls home increased rather
than diminished yesterday. as all the de-
tails of the brutal attack upon the child
became known. At the public school in
East 10th street attended by Viola the

them upon the danger of talking with men
who might stop them upon the street or
offer to give them presents.
The Rev. NJ. H. Wall Of the Church Of
the Holy Rosary. where Viola attended
Sunday school, vigorously denounced condi-
ions in the district, which threaten the
safety Of little girls. and started a crusade
against small candy stores and wine shops

NO GRAFT ON THE ISTHMUS.
Secretary Taft Gives the Result Of
Investigations There,

After investigating every charge which
has been brought - my attention. whether
apparently we'll founded or not, have been
unable to find a single penny Of graft going
to any one in connection with the isthmian
canal work"
This statement was made by Secretary
Taft today when MS attention was called
to the statements that special accountants
have been sent to the isthmus to examine
the books of the disbursing officers of the
commission. Shortly after Col. Goethals
assumed charge of the work he asked Sec
rotary Taft to have corps of experts sent
to the isthmus to count the cash on hand
In complying with the request the Secre-
tary of War asked the Treasury Depart
ment for men to perform the work. and
four experts were sent to the isthmus so
that the examination could begin stimuli
taheously at each POINT where money IS
kept on hand or expended by disbursing Of
ficers in connection with canal construction,
and also TO complete the work soon as
possible. The result was that the accounts
balanced exactly.
Cocktails Secretary Taft sent to Panama
Mr.. Brodie. an expert employed by the
firm of Price, Warehouse & Co. of New
York. to examine the commssary accounts
and to prepare a new system whereby the
commission will be able to ascertain better
the cost of supplies and the proper price
at which they should be sold to employees.
As result of the investigation it was
found that the commission was making too
large "a profit out of the commissary. and
1t was decided to make a change by pro-
viding a more liberal bill Of fare. Nowhere.
however, was there discovered the slightest
'viderce of graft. r.-

SURPLUS OF $4,000, 900
CLOSE OF AN UNUSUALLY PROS
Porous FISCAL YEAR
Balance Is the Largest With One Elk
ception Since 1s9o-Customs Re
ceipts Larger Than Ever Before.

So far as working purposes are con-
cerned, the fiscal year of the government
closed today. Financially the year has been
a most prosperous one for Uncle Sam. He
has closed his books with a surplus of sub
stantially $S7. 100000 one of the largest net
balances he has ever had In the fiscal year
1902 there was a surplus of sol, 2S7 ,375, but
that was the largest since 1880.
While the official figures for the fiscal
year will not be announced until Monday,
the figures available today are SO near
accurate as to leave little to be desired by
the statistician and student. The figures
show that in the year just closed Uncle
Sans income from his various sources of
revenue was $685., SOC. 1874 and his expendi-
lures $57S376, 100, as compared with re-
ceipts of s594 Al, l21 for the last fiscal year
and expenditures OF 1858, 7S4. 100, the surplus
in that year being $25,669 .322.
There has been tremendous increase in
receipts In the year just closing, as Is ap-
parent from the figures. while the expendi-
lures have been only about $10.OO0.OOO in
excess of the last year. The largest In
crease In receipts has been from customs.
although internal revenue has shown a big
gain.
The receipts from the different sources
this fiscal year have been as follows:
Customs, 1898 go, 126.
Internal revenue. $40 ,309, 1888.
Miscellaneous, $61 ,766, $40.
The receipts from the same sources in
the last fiscal year were as follows:
Customs $3OO.251 ST..
Internal revenue, s249. 1922.
Miscellaneous, $40 172, 1877.
There has been no year in the history Of
the country in which the receipts from GUS
toms came within many millions of the
present year. The receipts last year held
the record up to that time. and this years
income from that source Is about $S3. coo, 900
in excess Of last year.
Internal revenue receipts likewise break
ali records. except during the Spanish war.
when special taxes were being collected to
carry on the war. Since the war taxes
were wiped off the books, there has been
nothing to compare with this year in the
large receipts.
The expenditures in the different depart
ments of the government in the year now
closing were as follows: Civil and miscel-
laneous. 1924. 112S 43; war, $1O1 ,6T2 313; navy.
s97 ,6O5.079; Indians, $15.14O,O04: pensions.
$139. 900. 932; public works. SIC. 050, $50; in
terest on public debt, $24, 504, 1882.

SMITH ISINAUGURATED
NOTABLE FUNCTION AT ATLANTA
ToDAY-GovERNoR's ADDRESS.

ATLANTA, Ca, June 9.-Hoke Smith
was inaugurated governor OF Georgia al
noon today. The oath of office was ad-
ministered by Chief Justice William H
Fish of the supreme court before the joint
session of the two branches of the legis-
lature. which began it's annual gathering
this week. Gov. Smith then delivered his
inaugural address from platform erected
in the open air on the west front Of the
capitol. He said in part:
Address of Gov. Smith.
Gov Smith suggested special Legislation
to prevent corporations from using i'm
proper influence to control legislation. He
advocated that all representatives of cor
porate interests should be required to regis
ter with the secretary of state. The legis-
lature, he said. should prohibit the rail-
roads from issuing free passes between
points within the state.
The contributions of money for political
purposes by corporations or special inter-
ests, the governor declared, should be pro-
hfbited by q state law. He urged requiring
candidates for public Office to submit sworn
statements of money spent. its purposes
and its source. The state constitution should
be amended, he said. to provide a new
standard for the elective franchise, suggest
ing the Alabama law as model
The control of the liquor traffic by local
option ana the pTOtect1Ou OF dry COHlHu-
mites from the jug trade, was urged.
Continuing, the governor said: ANY plan
for the negroes which fails to recognize the
difference between the white and black
races will fail. The honest student of his
tory knows that the negro had full oppor-
tunity for generations to develop before the
days of slavery: that the negro race was
improved by slavery. and that the majority
OF the negroes in this state have ceased to
improve since slavery. Few have been
helped by learning from books. All have
been helped who have been taught or made
to work.
THE negro child should be taught manual
labor and how to live. The negro teacher
should be selected less by books than by
character examination. The negro school
should help the negro, not injure him. Ra-
cial differences cannot be overcome by mis-
guided philanthropists
Superiority does not justify cruelty The
man who breaks the law to punish GRIM
place In Georgia for riots and mobs. 1t Is
the duty of the governor to, exhaust the
power Of his Office to enforce the law and
to prevent lynching, and I shall perform
that duty. recognize the duty of the
white man to be absolutely just to the
negro"

parade of troops and citizens, escorting

ton OF the conduct of her husband at Ma

referred to the inspector general of the
army for investigation certain representa-
tions which were this week made to the
War Department by Mrs. Logan and Mrs.
Tucker The, nature OF these representa-
tions has not been divulged by the mill

Clifton streets northwest, this morning in
formation was given that Mrs. Logan had
gone to Illinois on account of the death
of a member of her family.

been preferred against her husband. and
she merely suggested that the truth or
falsity of the report that charges had been
filed might be learned by inquiry at the Of
fee of the adjutant general, War Depart
ment. To differently phrased questions Mrs.
Tucker answered only that she did not care
to make a statement of any kind.

ert E. Peary to postpone his departure
for his new dash in the arctic regions
until the latter part of next month.

seventh trip to the frozen north he ex-
pected to leave here about July I. The

creased 50 that 1t will extend from the top
gallant forecastle to the forward part of the
main hatch, and will accommodate a greater
number Of Eskimos than on the previous
run.

engaged as master, has shipped a crew of
sealers in Newfoundland and several en-
gineers in this port. He is living on Staten
Island near the Roosevelt.
Capt. ".Mose" Bartlett, an uncle Of Capt.
"Bob." has been engaged by Commander
Peary as master Of the steam whaler Erik,
which is to be used as an auxiliary craft
for the transportation of coal from st.
Johns, N. F., to Etau, where the Erik q
cargo will be stored for the Roosevelt to
faIl back on when she returns south.
Commander Peary said today that al
though he hoped to be able to discover the
north pole within eighteen months, he de-
sired to equip the Roosevelt for a three
years voyage.
