REASONS FOR DESERTIONS
SMALL PAY AND ABoLIsHMENT
OF cANTEEN ARE BLAMED.
Mai. Gen. Greedy, In Annual Report,
Urges Higher Wages for officers
and Men.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The annual
report of Mai. Gen. A. w. Greedy,
commanding the northern division Of
the army, which includes the depart
ments of the lakes, the Dakotas and
Missouri, says that the main reason
for desertion according to the univer-
sal opinion of large number of COM
missioned and noncommissioned Of
ficers, is the small pay, seconded by
the lack of the canteen and resultant
trouble in dives surrounding the army
posts and 'the low standard and gen.
eral worthlessness of recruits"
The moral deterioration of the re-
cruits is characterized as corollary
of the small pay given men.
Gen. Greedy urges increase Of pay
of officers and men, five-year term
of enlistment, material increase in
strength of the infantry and restora-
tion of the canteen privileges to the
extent of selling beer, or, if the can
teen is not restored. that there should
be legislation restricting the use of
liquor by all federal officials and en-
ployes. ''@T
He says 1t is beyond reasonable
doubt, that the establishment of the
canteen decreases drunkenness, and
that its elimination has largely in
creased liquor drinking and dissipa-
ton among enlisted men.
Discussing camp instructions and
post schools, he expresses the opinion
that there is a tendency to over educa-
tion, by books and lectures, both as
regards officers and enlisted men.

FARMERS WIFE AND SERVANT
ARE CHOPPED TO DEATH.
Negro Whom They Caught Robbins
House After Setting Barn Afire,
Accused Of Crime.

Camden, ". j., Aug. 21.--Mrs.
Frances Horner, aged 81 years, wife
Of Edward Horner, a farmer on the
Browning road, near Merchantvllle,
and Mrs. Victoria Napoh, a servant,
were chopped to death Tuesday in

ployed on the farm.
The murder was one of the most
brutal that has ever occurred In THO

tract the attention of the farmers
household and thus enable him to rob
the place with freedom, but while

horses from the barn. Mrs. Horner
and her servant came upon the negro
in the act of robbing the house. He
attacked the women with an ak and
practically hacked them to pieces.
Mrs. Horner's head was severed and
Mrs. Napoli's head was crushed In
and her body covered with gashes.
An investigation showed that two
gold watches and sum of money had
been taken from the house, and the
police located the watches In a pawn.
shop in Philadelphia, where they had
been pledged by negro. The pawn
broker, according to the police, iden-
titled Gibson as the negro who pawned
the watches, and he was arrested.
Tickets for the time pieces were
found in his possession.
Stephen Dorsey, another negro who
was with Gibson when it is alleged he
pawned the watches, was also ar
rested, although the police do not be-
lieve he had anything to do with the
murder. Gibson, who was discharged
by Horner some time ago, applied for
work at the farm Monday, and was
told he could. sleep in the barn and
have WORK in the morning. Nothing
further was seen Of him until early
In the morning, when farmers who
were running to the fire declare that
they saw the negro fleeing from the
Horner home. When taken into Gus
tody he refused to make any state
ment regarding the murder, but when
one of the watches recovered from the
pawnshop and which was marked with
the name "Horner" was shown to him
and he was asked II he knew the
owRer. he is said to have replied:
Yes. I'm sorry for him."

ing the lives of our employees. They
threatened to renew the attack to-

Gov. Kilbey replied that he would

The following is the official report
OF Mr.. Swain, one of the electrical en-
gineers of the company at Ashfork:
I'VE were forewarned that there
would be trouble, SO about nine o'clock
Monday night we barricaded the front
and back doors SO they could not rush

tried to get In the front door We
turned all the lights out, except one
over the sidewalk and another over

kicking on the doors until 1915
o'clock when we saw a man come
from the direction of the Harvey
house. He stopped at the front door

through glass door in front and an
other through a glass door on the
side. It was quiet then until 2:15 a.
m. when three men fired another vol
ley, breaking more glass.
-. Mob Fires Many Shots.
AT three o'clock the crowd came
again and fired more than a dozen
shots. The lights left burning were
shot out. One of the last shots fired
was aimed apparently at cot on
which Sutton, one Of our men, was
sleeping"

REGISTERED POUCHES CONTAIN

BIG BANK SHIPMENT is GONE
Cash Was Enroute From Denver to
Chicago Over the Burlington
Route--Many Secret Ser
vice Men Busy.

Omaha, Nebr., Aug. 21.-The big
gest robbery of the United States
mails ever pulled off has called every
the west to Omaha and Denver. The
robbery occurred between these two
points last Thursday night. Every
effort was made to keep it quiet, but
the news leaked out today.
Three through registered pouches,
one of which contained $3.50, ,000,were
stolen from the Burlington railroads
fast mail train and the governments
detectives, as far as can be learned,
have not the slightest clue as to the
thief or just where the robbery oc-
CURED.
Seven through registered pouches
were sent from the Denver postoffice
to the depot for the Burlington fast
mail train, Thursday night. Those
were receipted for by the mail clerk.
When the train reached McCook,
Nebr., it was found that three of the
pouches were missing.
One of the missing pouches was
destined to Omaha, another to Chica-
go, and the third was an empty for
Lincoln.
$25o,ooo In Cash Gone.
Although the Omaha pouch was
valuable, yet that to Chicago contain
ed a heavy shipment of cash from a
Denver bank to one in Chicago. The
shipment is said to aggregate more
than $250,O00.
AS soon as the loss was discovered
the inspectors were notified and a
search began.
At first it was thought the missing
pouches had been sent to a wrong
train, but it is now known they were
stolen.
Yesterday the Chicago bank tele-
graphed the sending bank at Denver,
asking about the shipment.
Mail Crew Exonerated.
A dozen secret service men were
in Omaha today working on the case.
The mail crew handling the miss
ing pouches were examined, but the
men exonerated themselves.
The impression prevails among
them that the theft was the work of
professionals who were in collpsion
with some one who knew that a large
amount of money would be shipped
by registered mail from Denver on
that night and kept in touch with it
up to the moment the registered
pouches were to be placed on the
train. ...
