RESIST SALE OF PROPERTY
ACTION OF YOUNGER RELA-
TIVES OF THE LATE J. F. STAUB
Complain That Real Estate Has
Been Disposed of and the Pro
ceeds Dissipated.

Alleging that their aunts, Sarah ]. Nc
Neir and Louise Staub, the latter "sev-

health and unable to leave her house or
to talk at tines have sold real estate
belonging to their brother, Jacob F. Stauo.
and have dissipated the proceeds, Emma
L. Cooley and other nieces and nephews
Of the late Jacob F. Staub today asked
the District Supreme Court to compel an
accounting.
Under the will of Jacob F. Staub, who
died about seventeen years ago, a large
estate was left to his five sisters for life,
with the privilege Of sale only in the
event that 1t became necessary for their
maintenance. OF these sisters only the
two defendants survive. The complains
ants are descendants of a brother, VIII
liam, and sister. Mary, who were named
to take the estate at the death of the
sisters.
The compliments allege through At
torneys Ralston & Siddons that the in
come from the estate has been about 500
d month and that the defendants had
other sources of income which preclud-
ed any necessity to exercise the privi-
lege of sale allowed by the will.
However. it is alleged that February
H. 1901. farm In Montgomery county
was sold for $500. which, it is claimed.
was about one-half it's real value and

The court is asked to protect the es-
tate by appointing a receiver to conserve
the income for the benefit Of the two de-
PENDANTS. during their lives, and to pre-
serve the estate or such part of it as
may not be subject to sale for their
necessities for the benefit of the COM
plainants. who under the will are the
owners of the property. subject to the

dieting for several days on rags. pieces o.
paper and string. particles of glass and
small bits of wood. Martin Smith. an in
mate OF the Luzerne County Insane Asy-
lum. at Retreat, drank as a relish the
contents of a bottle containing indeible
ink. and died last night.
For several days Smith had been i'll.
but the house physician was unable to

much worse Saturday than usual, and as
his mouth and lips were stained purple,
search was made. with the result that
an empty bottle which had contained in
delible ink was found in his bed
At the autopsy performed it was dis
covered that the mans stomach was
dyed purple, while resting therein was
a tumble of finely chewed paper, rags,

ROOSEVELT PROCLAIMS
TAFT AS HIS ONLY
CHOICE.

The true friend Of reform, the
true foe Of abuses, 10 the man
who steadily perseveres in right
Ing wrongs. In warning against
abuses, but whose character and
training are such that he never
promises what he cannot per-
form, that he always a little
more than makes good what he
does promise, and that, while
steadily advancing. he never per-
mits himself to be led into foolish
excuses which would damage the
very he champions. In Mr..
Taft we have a man who COM
bines all Of these qualities to a
degree which no other man In
our public life since the Civil
War has surpassed.
There is no fight for decency
and fair dealing which I have
waged in which l have not had
his heartiest and most effective
sympathy and support, and the
policies for which l stand are his
policies as much as mine.
If there Is one body Of men
more than another whose support
l feel l have a right to challenge
on behalf Of Secretary Taft II is
the body Of wageworkers Of the
country. A stancher friend, a
fairer ana truer representative,
they cannot find within the Dor
ders Of the United States. He
will do everything in his power
for them except to do that which
is wrong he will do wrong for
no man, and therefore can be
trusted by all men.

PRACTICAL
DEMONSTRATION.
Actual Operation Of Postal Savings
Banks in Philippines.
Two Years. Experiment Indicates
the Plan Is Successful.

The only postal savings bank sys-
tenn In operation under the American
flag is that in the Philippines, where,
after two years Of experiment, the
institution has been declared a great
success. In the report Of the Philip
pine commission, just published, the
postal savings bank is discussed brief
~, in part as follows:
THE postal savings bank was first
opened In Manila on Oct. l, 1906.
The law provides for three classes,
with limitations as to the amounts
that can be received at any one time
in each class. Following the opening
OF the Manila office, other postal saw
ings bank Offices were opened in vari-
Gus cities, Of different classes, until
at the close of the year 235 had been
opened, of which 8 were first, sc were
second and 40 were third class.
FlliDinos Adopting System.
AT first the Filipinos did not to
any great extent avail themselves of
the opportunity Of depositing a portion
OF their receipts in the postal savings
bank, anda great bulk Of the depositors
were Americans and Of other nation
alities. AS the advantages of this sys-
TEN have been disseminated through
means of schools, government bureaus,
private agencies and others, the pro-
portion OF Filipinos is continually in
creasing. and gives very good promise
that the Filipinos will learn to trust
their money to the care Of the govern
ment. and welcome the opportunity.
The accounts opened up to the
close Of the fiscal year numbered
2.676, of which BAT were closed, leav-
ing 1929 still open. The deposits
cached the total sum of 786, 361 .O3 pc
sos-an average Of 1OS.21 pesos. With
drawals reached the total amount of
2sO,499.21 pesos, leaving a net deposit
OF D ,463.31 pesos at the end OF the
fiscal year-or the first nine months
of the operation Of the postal savings
bank-but by no means the first nine
months Of operation of the average
number of Offices, the smaller ones
having been opened from time to time
during the year, 30 that many had
not been opened more than a month or
two at the time these figures were
taken.
Encouraging Small Accounts.
The device OF issuing postal saw
ings bank stamps has met with some
response. The stamps are simply a
method by which small amounts can
be deposited without the expense of
issuing a book, figuring interest, and
opening an account.
ION the whole, the reception accord
ed the postal savings bank has been
gratifying. aud gives good promise.
The investment OF the funds is In the
hands OF a postal savings bank invest
ment board, which carries a certain
amount OF the funds on deposit, and
has limited power OF investment. The
law provides that Is per cent Of the
money held on deposit may be loaned
on first-class real estate, under limita-
tions carefully drawn to protect the
depositors, and 10 per cent on agricul-
tural lands under still more rigid limi
tations."

Y AND
Haskell Case Entirely Different from
That Of Senator Foraker.

(From the Kansas City Starr
The most adverse development Of the
Democratic campaign is the charge of
Standard Oil connections against Gov
ernor Haskell, treasurer Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, because Mr..
Bryan Is responsible for Mr.. Haskell's
prominence in the Presidential contest.
Even II the charges are false. the
weight of suspicion resting on Mr..
Haskell Is such that his connection
with the campaign should at once be
severed and remain severed until he
can prove his innocence.
The Haskell case is entirely different
from the Foraker case. Foraker Oppos-
ed Taft to the time of his nomination;
Taft refused to make terms with him
to secure the nomination, and has re-
fused to vouch for him since. Foraker
is down, but Taft does not need to tax
any cognizance Of his fall. He Is not
responsible for Foraker.
Haskell, politically speaking. is a
Bryan product.
And the only way to explain Mr..
Bryan's ENHANCEMENT with Haskell is
that he is about as bad a judge Of
men as he Is of issues.
Bryan is an eaperimentalist. He is
attracted by superficial qualities. He
likes new measures and new cham
pions. The hardest strain that has
been put on the popular belief in h's
individual sincerity mas been imposed
by the unsound policies he has %espouscd
and the unsound counsel he has sought.
Democratic "Publicity" Duplictty.
The Democratic party OF the country.
through its representatives in Congress,
is on record as voting down a bill pro
viding for publicity of campaign con.
,tributioHs in national elections and for
voting down a bill providing against
fraudulent registration and fraudulent
elections. Such Is Democratic duplic-
ity and Democratic %insincerity in re-
gard to this subject which has been
dignifed into a campaign Issue. -James
s. Sherman.

Taft Raises Wages.
On May 1, 1907, as Secretary of War,
Mr.. Taft issued a longevity order max
ing liberal and appreciate increase in
the wages Of various classes Of work
men, as follows:
"All employees not native to the trop-
les who occupy the positions herein
designated shall be granted the follow
ing increases in pay for length Of con-
tinuous service on the Isthmus: Five
per cent Of the basic or class rate for
the second year, with accumulative ad-
dition of three per cent of the basic
rate for each subsequent year; pro-
vided. however, that such cumulative
increase shall not exceed a total Of 25c
of the basic rate"
In other words, Mr.. Taft made it
possible for every American laborer on
the lsthmus, by remaining there and
working. to increase his wages % per
cent and at the same time have a per-
manent position. These men also get
four weeks vacation with pay, every
year and Mr.. Taft favors making the
vacation six weeks with pay.
Change Would he DISASTROUS.
In the performance of this work the
United States is under the scrutiny Of
the entire world, especially Of u
%neighbors in Central and South Amer
lea, before whom we must make good
our profession of high social and in
dustrial ideals. It would be a national
calamity to jeopardize the present lib
eral progressive policy that is so III
cessfully constructing the Panama Ca
nal. Mr.. Taft is the one man to con
tinue this great work to the end.
