a hand car in getting out of town,
while the town people gave chase on
foot, exchanging a number of shots
with the fleeing robbers.
Six men drilled through brick

reelected. At the meeting of the directors
Thursday night the officers will be chosen,
and 1t is expected at that time Mr.. C. J.
Rixey, VINO is now the president of the
bank, will retire from that position, in ac-
| cordance with the desire which he has
entertained for some time past because of
the demands made upon his time by his
other business interests. The vacancy thus
caused by the resignation of Mr.. Rixey
will be filled by the election of Mr.. Ell
bridge z. Jordan. There will be no other
changes made in the officers of the bank,
but 1t is expected in the near future to
enlarge the number of the board of direc-
tors from fifteen to twenty-five, and from
time to time to elect men to fill the places
thus created.
The policy of the new management,
which will be thus inaugurated, as an
nounced, will be to make the bank thor
oughly identified with local interests. and
In this way broaden and strengthen the
scope of the business.
Owing mainly to the fact that Mr.. Jor-
dan is the president of the Merchants and
Mechanics Savings Bank, the notion
seems to prevail. to some extent. that 1t is
the purpose to bring about some connec-
ton between these two institutions. Mr.
Jordan. however said today that no such
plan is contemplated. and that it Is the
purpose to continue the two banks on the
independent basis which they now occupy
as far as their relations to each other are

officials Unaware of Hitch About
Work on Fortifications.

The War Department has not been in
formed of the reported Withholding of the
contract for the construction of fortifi-
cations in Hawaii for the alleged rea-
son that Japanese were the lowest bid
ders. Investigation here shows that only
q limited amount of fortification work is
now in progress in Hawaii. and the Off
Gals here see no reason why any line
should be drawn on account of the ma
tionality of the<s slaborers who are to do
that work, the nature of which cannot
be concealed, SO that they would hesi-
tate before they rejected the lowest bid
on that account.
The principal work now under way in
Hawaii consists of the construction Of two
sets of mortar batteries. for which Con-
gress has specifically appropriated $780,
900. One of these batteries is located at
Diamond Head, the great prOmOntory
commanding the entrance to the harbor
at Honolulu. and. the other Is at the en-
trance to Pearl Harbor. In addition to
these large works there are some gun
emplacements being built near the quar-
antine station and along the water front
OF Honolulu. This years estimates con-
template the expenditure OF $1.l1O,O0O to

for that amount. 1t Is said. an impregna-
BILE naval base can be provided on the Is

FEDERAL PATRONAGE.
Taft's Friends Resent Charge Of Use
to Promote His Interests.

W 4OAOLC x1l6 4uISIcSCS.
Friends of Secretary Taft warmly resen,
the charge. or insinuation, that federal
patronage has been used more particu-
larly In Ohio. to promote his interests as
a presidential candidate
AS matter of fact, it is pointed ont,
Secretary Taft has had less patronage
placed at his disposal than most Of his
rivals for the nomination.
In the state Of Ohio. they say, the ap-
pointments have heretofore been con-
trolled by either the one or the other of
the machines which at the time hap
pened to dominate. Since the death OF
Senator Hanna the two organizations have
combined against the Secretary of War,
and the federal officeholders of the state,
with few exceptions. are beholden to
either Senator Foraker or Senator Dick
for their places
They say that in Indiana Vice President
Fairbanks has been in a commanding po-
Sition for years. as far as patronage goes
and his Indiana manager Mr. Healing.
owes much of his prominence to the fact
that he holds the place of United States
district attorney. In Illinois Speaker Can
non controls large part of the patronage,
and the federal appointees who owe their
places to Senator Cullom's influence are a
part Of Speaker Cannons political asset.
In Pennsylvania Senators Knox and Pen
rose control all the patronage. And even
In the south. they say. the appointments
made were In no sense calculated to pro-
mote Secretary Taft'S interests. for the
recommendations as a rule came from
those who professed to be third-term
boomers and who sought to cultivate inti-
mate relations with the men who were
supposed to represent Secretary Cortel-

bachelor, believes, to quote his own
words. that 1.-The fathers of our American
girls are paying out too much real gold
in the purchase of tinsel crowns" and
with a view to discouraging the practice he
has introduced a bill to provide a tai
upon all dowries, gifts. settlements or ad-
vances of property made in consideration
Of or contemplation OF marriage by cIti-
zens or subjects OF the United States OF
America to persons other than citizens or
subjects Of the United States Of Amer
ica."
The bill provides that all such settle
ments. whether paid or delivered, or in
tended to be paid or delivered, before or
after the actual solemnization. of any such
marriage, : shall be subject to a tax
of 25 per centum OF the total amount
thereof, which tax shall be paid into the
Treasury Of the United States" The
Treasury Department is authorized to es-
tablish rules for the enforcement of these
terms, and the bill is to go into effect as
soon as possible.
II am reliably informed said Mr.. Sa-
bath. discussing his measure, that since
the initiation by the Astors Of the prac-
tice of marrying American girls to for
eign titles the sum of $9OO000.0OO has
been drawn from the private wealth OF
citizens of the United States In dowries
and marriage settlements paid within the
last fourteen years. AS cupidity is often
er than not the motive actuating titled
foreigners in the adoption of rich Amer
lean fathers-in-law. I framed this bill
as the most effective style of brake on
the course Of impecunious noblemen from
other shores. And l don't want to be
suspected of pique because I'm bache-
lor, either"
Representative Hull OF Iowa. who was
standing by when Mr.. SABBATH sent his
bill to the desk. remarked: That's good
bill. I'll vote for it If get the chance.
I'll do more. I'll propose an amendment
providing for the restoration Of the tax
TO the father-in-law or the girl when the
courts have granted the usual divorce,
or the holding in trust of the taxes by
the United States as a fund to secure the
support of the wife and children after

Members Of the naval board which

confidence in the ability of the contract

that the big cruiser fell short of the con-
