The men who enlisted in the United

whether the war would be OF five months

BRATTLEBORO, VT, July For
shooting at Charles J. Gliddens balloon
Boston while it was over Brattleboro
the evening of June 10 William Murphy
yesterday was sentenced to not more than
two years and not less than six months
at hard labor at the house of correction
at Rutland. Charles Rigaman. who was
arrested with Murphy and has been in
Jail awaiting the hearing, was found not
guilty and was discharged upon recon-
mendation of State Attorney Robert c.
Bacon.
The hearing was held late yesterday
afternoon before Judge Ernest w. Gibson
in the municipal court. Murphy's counsel
endeavored to show that Murphy, who
fired two shots at the balloon, supposed
It to be toy, but the state attorney in
sisted that this claim was untenable;
that Murphy's act was wanton one COM
mitted from pure reCklessness. and was
to be compared with the mischievous
turning of switches in front of trains.

Mary Mannering Brings Actiol
Against James K. Hackett.

NEW YORK, July 4.-Mary Mannering,
the actress. Is suing her husband, James
X. Hackett. the actor. for divorce. Ru-
mors that such suit was to be insti-
tuted have been current among theatrical
folk for the last six months. but until
yesterday any real confirmation had been
lacking. owing to the extraordinary eff
forts made by Mr.. and Mrs. Hackett and
their respective counsel to prevent the
matter from becoming public.
Miss Mannering engaged counsel about
a year ago. but the suit was not begun
until it was apparent that there was no
further hope of a reconciliation or a
purely personal understanding. Miss
Mannerng and Mr.. Hackett have not
lived together for a year.
The fact that the suit has been brought
was confirmed yesterday by William r.
Wilder of IS Cedar street, who Is Miss
Mannering's attorney. A. L. & s. F.
Jacobs of 30 Broad street. Mr.. Hackett' S
attorneys, could not be reached. A. l..

Heavy Deficit Expected.

The next few months are expected to
run up a heavy deficit. Receipts have
been making but little better showing for
the last three months than at other times
in the fiscal year just gone by, and it is
customary for appropriations to be drawn
upon heavily in the first two or three
months of fiscal year. If the $27 .OO0.-
600 working balance should be threatened
the Secretary would again have recourse
to calling upon the national banks, which
will retain. already said. something
like $lUj.O1o.UOO of government money
after they pay in the SD UDOU0 called for.
The ; per cent bonds are largely held as
security for circulation of national banks
and deposits of government money and
one thing Secretary Cortelyou is consider
ing is whether the retirement from the
bond market of $64 100000 at one time
would affect the price of the IS and
other series of bonds to the extent of
running up the prices. On the other
hand, should he refund the IS the price
of government bonds would probably go
off a fraction.

CONTIGUOUS CALL ON BANKS
NO CONNECTION WITH SPANISH
WAR BONDS.
Question of Redemption Remains
Unsatisfactory Deficit
Expected.

The action Of Secretary Cortelyou in
calling upon national bank depositaries
for about $43O0O,O00 of government funds
in their possession is officially stated to
have no bearing upon the probable action
of the Secretary in connection with the
coming due of something like $61.CO0.OOJ
OF the per cent bonds of the Spanish
American war, redeemable August /.
The Secretary, it is asserted, was actuated
by the fact that money is plentiful and
easy In the banking world and the time to
withdraw funds from the banks was a
good one. National bank depositarieS
yesterday held about S15l 100000 of gov
eminent funds. not including about S11,-
CG0.U00 to the credit of disbursing officers.
The taking ont of the SAN asked by the
Secretary will leave in their possession
about $10j.00009O, subject also to with
draWal in case of necessity 1t is doubt
full, however. if there will be further calls
unless the present fiscal year should loom
up with a very large deficit in the first
three or four months, and that is posi-
BILE
The national banks will though. be sub
jected shortly to another pretty heavy
drain from the government Because of a
deficient force to do the usual work of
redemption the general fund of the
Treasury has accumulated %tEUD.WU OF
amount OF these securities. 1t is seldom
that the general fund permits over $40
W3.0OO of these notes to remain and as
soon possible national banks will be
asked to forward government funds in
place of their notes, thus involving a
drain of something like S5GOO0.0tW or
more upon them. This process will not
cause any strain in financial affairs. all
the banks being full of money and ready
to make loans at cheap rates of interest.
Doubt as to Redemption.
There has come to be considerable
doubt whether Secretary Cortelyou will
redeem the 3 per cent bonds soon to be
due. These bonds. under the law. may
be extended for another ten years, or as
long as the Treasury desires. The seri-
Gus objection to an extension of time
upon them is the fact that the govern
ment will be paying per cent interest,
when the Londs could be refunded into >
per cents and l per cent saved. But as
to refunding some doubt is expressed
advantage now.
AS to redeemng the bonds it is pointed
out that the Treasury will have the
funds to do this. If no consideration is
given to a possible heavy deficit in the
present fiscal year. The immediate cash
balance in the Treasury yesterday was
$l6OO0.VO0 This will be added to by the
18th of the month by the $4j,0U0OO0 asked
for from the banks, giving q total of ap-
proximately SOL .OUO,U0 This would be
sufficient to pay off the $o4, 100000 threes
and leave a working balance of about ST.
100000.

house that they would have to cast their vote in
favor of seating him. Senator LaFollette, however
was not standpater and did cast his vote against
Smoot with the democrats
1t does seem as though Bishop LuntS prophecy
has been fulfilled because the Mormon question has
been injected into national politics and the Nor
mons are prohtng by the contest that is being
waged between the two national parties
1t is also fact, that when Reed Smoot had been
assured that he would be seated the Mormons moved
next to get control of Idaho But the constitution
of Idaho provides that mo man shall be allowed
to vote or hold office who is po1ygamist or who
teaches 1t or contributes to institution that does
teach it." That shut out the Mormons
But two days before election Secretary Taft went
to Idaho, spoke for the Mormons advised them to
vote with the result that they did attempt to vote
and they refused to subscribe to the constitution
The began to vote anyway. When they were cha1-
lenged the chaengers were thrown into jail, kept
there all day, and thus the Mormons got control of
Idaho, defeated their bitter enemy, Fred t. Dubois
elected Borah, who had been indicted for land theft
and delivered the state to the republican party
Thus the Mormons are exutant. The Mormon
question has been before the country for more than
half century. The solution is as far away as ever
Laws have been passed Ruptures have taken place
but the most serious aspect the Smoot question
1t was not settled to the satisfaction of the men
and women of the United States. Mormonism will
be injected into our national councils more and
more We must meet the issue Squarely The Mormon
system is foe to Christianity and our government
The sooner polygamy is crushed and one man poll
teal power under guise of a religion is crushed
SO much sooner will we have peace The fight must
continue until that has been done.

Taft's Tariff Promise.

Mr. Taft is doubtless sincere in his promise to
convene congress in extra session for the revision of
the tariff, in he is elected president of the
United States. Mr. Taft would be able to lead the
horse to water but the horse has never manifested
any feverish degree of tariff revision thirst
Mr.. Taft understands that no tariff revision meas
TIRE could get by the speaker of the house and if
he is elected, Mr.. Sherman will be elected and will
preside over the senate and Mr.. Sherman's political
and legislative education has been largely acquired
in the Joe Cannon school of the house of representa-
tiveS
Mr. Taft might favor revision in all sincerity, but
he would find balky congress should he attempt to
carry out his promise to the public The trusts will
not let go of their advantage without a struggle and
majority of the congress is in sympathy with the
trusts.
1t looks though the government would have to
be made over in its legislative department. as we'll
as in its executive department, before the square
deal about which there has been much preachment
is bestowed upon the public.

A Missing Telegram.

It is explained by the Boston Globe, in connection
with the order of President Roosevelt for the dis
charge Of the colored soldiers at Brownsville that
Mr.. Taft as secretary of war in November 1906,
sent message about the then recent Brownsville
order to President Roosevelt, who was at Porto
Rico. President Roosevelt answered in a cab1egram
in which he said that the order discharging the
soldiers not to be suspended and declared :
Il care nothing whatever for the yelling, either of
the politicians the sentimentalists" General Cor
bin has given this message out for publication but
he adds ingenuously: II do not happen to have a
copy of Mr. Tafts cablegram to the president"
The Globe pertinently enquiries why General Cor
bin should happen to have copy of Mr.. Rooseve1ts
reply to Mr.. Tafts telegram and should happen not
to have copy of Mr.. Taft's telegram.
There may have been something in the Taft te1e-
gram to incte Mr.. Roosevelt against the co1ored
soldiers and if it is important to keep it in the
background while Mr. Roosevelt assumes all the
blame for the uncaed for order that resulted in the
illegal discharge of the soldiers.
