missing from the bank-the sum lost
was said to be more than $96, O00-he
stated that he had been specializing
and had lost heavily and intimated
that Mrs. Carter might know some
thing about any money that was miss
ing. Mrs. Carter indignantly denied
that she had any of the money, and
angrily told Runyan that she had be-
trayed him to the police because he
had lied to her and had not given her
money as he had promised.
Runyan stated that he had given Mrs.
Carter $4,000, but this she denied. He
said he gave her $1,000 on Monday and
$40, 900 Friday morning. Mrs. Garter
said that he gave her 5000 on Mon
day. but that she withdrew 1t from the
bank Friday morning and returned 1t
to him.
It also developed that Runyan gave
Mrs. Carter a heavy gold bracelet ana
a diamond ring on Saturday evening
These were valued at 81, 1000 Inc
bracelet was on Mrs. Carriers wrist at
the time of Runyan's arrest and Is now
in the possession OF the police.
Mrs. Carter was closely questioned ~
the police as to her acquaintance with
Runyan. She said that she first met
him on the street and had met him
several times after that. Finally, she
said he agreed to furnish nat TOT ner
and give her $3.50 week. The fiat was
secured and she moved in two weeks
ago. After that, she said she saw little
of Runyan until last Saturday and he
had given her little money.
Asked about the motive for the rob-
berry, Runyan said:
Il needed the money. that was the
reason 1 took 1t. Some of 1t / lost In
Wall street and some 1 gave TO the
woman"
At the police station Runyan and the
woman quarreled bitterly, each accus-
ing the other of miscellaneous con-
corning the disposition of the missing
money. When Runyan said he had CIV
en- her $4,000 the woman declared the
assertion false.
George W. Young, a director OF the
trust company, was closeted with Run
van for some time. Later he made a
statement in which he said that he had
secured a list from Runyan showing a
shortage of $81, 600.
Mr. Young said that Runyan had done
everything in his power to straighten
out matters at the bank

LOOKS WARLIKE.
California Militia Learning to
Man Coast Defense Guns.
Practice Repelling a Possible
Attack From the Sea.
MANILA rs EXCITED.
Japanese LabOrers Discharged
From the Navy Yard.
Extensive Additions to Pacific
Dry Docks Are Planned.

San Francisco, July 6.-Two thou
sand national guardsmen who are par
ucipating in the army maneuvers at
the Preside in conjunction with the
regulars. last night slept at the big
guns in the forts which line the shores.
For Is days the state militia will be
drilled with the regulars in the han
ding of big guns.
A part of the maneuvers will be the
repelling of an imaginary attack from
the sea by hostile fleet composed of
launches and small boats. The ma
neuvers are in charge of Colonel Lun-
den.
In addition to the troops stationed
at the guns, an infantry support was
established yesterday under the COM
mand of Colonel Cooke. The ma
neuvers proper will not begin until
Monday. Before the expiration of two
weeks it Is believed that the militia
companies will not only have familiar
lied themselves with the Notifications,
but will have learned how to operate
the heavy coast defense guns. Accord
ing to the regulations, the officers of
both the militia and the regulars must
live in the camps during the maneuv-
ers, although the homes of the latter
are less than a half mile away. The
members of the regulars did not con-
ceal their disappointment at the in
adequate equipment OF the national
guard.
Japanese Are Discharged.
Manila, July 6.-The reported naval
activity is causing much excitement in
the Philippines. Leading Filipino in
dependence organs have announced
that they side with the Americans
against the Japanese. All the Jap
anese laborers employed in the navy
yard at Olangapo have been dis
charged.
Additions to Navy Yards.
San Francisco, July 6.-Extensive
additions to the government navy yard
coast will be made in the event of the
coming of the battleship fleet, Secre-
tary Metcalf said last night.

new dry dock at Bremerton and other

by congress in the fall. The large dry

an appears to have reached almost
hysterical stage in their apprehension
that the resolution adopted by the jap

explanation of such attitude may be
sought in their own fear regarding the
final outcome of the San Francisco

without leaving the least element OF
difference between the two countries is
a pressing necessity.

opinions are worth attention follow ex-
actly in the same line.

Efforts are being made to have very
large representation of teachers and

the convention of the National Educa-
tional association q Los Angeles July
S-l2 D. II. Christensen is the State dl-
rector OF the association for Utah and he
is making special personal effort TO
have the State we'll represented. II is
thought by him, from information he has
received, that the attendance from this
State Will far exceed In numbers any
previous delegation. The total atten-
dance OF educators from America Will
be the largest in the history OF the or
ganlzation.
Efforts have been made in the past TO
secure n general meeting OF the associa-
tion for Salt Lake without success. Now,
Mr.. Christensen thinks, the outlook Is
quite encouraging for the next Western
meeting. This depends, however, In no
small measure, on the showing The state
can make In attendance Mt the coming
meeting. An appeal is being made TO all
the County SuperlnteDdents TO organize
the teachers and encourage all TO attend
who can possibly so. These VIII act

mittee for Utah,

matter of one-fare rates with stop-oYer

INCREASE Of PAY
FOR THE TEACHERS
Board of Education Announces
That This Matter at Once Will
Be Given Attention.

Every effort is TO be made to give the
teachers in the public schools a better
scale Of remuneration than they have
been receiving. That II Is too low is
universally admitted. Unfortunately, the
amount OF money at the disposal OF the
school authorities Is limited-very much
so. This year the Board of Education
is asking for 100000 additional appro-
priation and very large portion OF this
Will go In the direction of increasing the
pay, especially. OF the teachers in the
lower and medium grades. First. there
Will be the additional teachers to be en-
ployed whose salaries will come out OF
this appropriation. and the remainder
Will go toward the increase. II will not
be large, but will be a step in the right
direction,
The present scale of pay provides for
pay OF $40 a month for the first year OF
service OF nine months. with an increase
of So month annually for four years;
then $3.50 until $50 a month is reached.
The principals get $50 a month and 81, 25
monthly for each teacher under their
charge and the So increase until they
reach the maximum OF about slG5o per
annum.
There are at present about 400 teachers
In the schools. but IL Is considered that
the teachers in the lower and medium
grades who are now so poorly paid Will
be first considered.

DENIES GOING UPON
MISSION OF PRESIDENT
In Next Breath Says That Re-

for Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON. April 24.-First AS.
sistanJ Postmaster General Hitchcock
returned today from the South, where
he had been for the past week, pri-
marily on an inspection tour of the
Southern postofliccs. Mr. Hitchcock
said he had learned only today that
his trip had been given a political sig
niticance in newspapers in the North
in which the statement appeared that
he was on q mission for the President
to ascertain first hand any new direc-
tion in the Republican sentiment in the
South
Mr. Hitchcock denied with emphasis
that President Roosevelt directed his
movements. 'It is true that while my
trip was partially one OF inspection, :,
he said land one which l planned
months ago, ! discussed politics to some
extent. This was only natural, as /
was called on by many southern Re"

which we have been hearing about for

"In those states which l visited
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida
the Republicans are in hearty accord
with the administration. They are
Roosevelt men through and through -
Referring again to the question Of op-
posing organizations, Mr.. Hitchcock re-
marked that of course there were "dis-
pruntled and discredited men, who
have dropped out of the old organiza
tions, but that such were in the de-
cided minority.
