SILKS AND SAT|Ns
WORRY COLLECTOR

SAN FRANCISCO, September 2s.-
Ten cases of silks and satins, recently
brought from Japan and now held by
the customs department pending an in
vestigatfon, are causing all kinds OF
trouble for Collector Fred Stratton and
even more for Mrs. j. w. Smith, wife
of Captain j. w. Smith of the United
States army, now stationed in the Phil
ippines. Stratton is suffering under a
deluge of letters urging the extension
of leniency to Mrs. Smith, and Mrs.
Smith is in Reno, directing campaign
which she hopes will successfully pre-
vent a criminal prosecution.
Mrs. Smith got into trouble with the
government early in the month, when
she attempted to land the ten cases of
Japanese goods from the steamer Chiyo
Maru under the designation of house
hold goods. Her manifest would have
brought them in duty free as house
hold effects which she had used in the
Orient. but the customs inspectors pried
open the cases and found them filled
with brand new japanese goods valued
at $500 at the time of purchase.
Mrs. Smith was called before the
customs Oluclals, one dunllleu ludI
the goods were new and that she had
attempted to deceive the officers, but
defended her action with the explana-
tion that she had been told by friends
in Yokohama that it was customary
for the wives of army officers to bring
whatever they pleased into the United
States under the guise of household
goods. When the duty was finally fig
ured out Mrs. Smith owed the govern
ment S475.25.
The sum assessed by the customs of
fcials was too much for Mrs. Smith, so
she appealed to her army friends to
intervene in her behalf, The result
has been the rain of letters asking
Stratton to extend leniency or at least
to reduce the duty, lie is not inclined
however, to treat the matter in char
table way and is waiting for report
from Special Agent Frank johnson OF

HAWAII POPULAR
FOREIGN" STATION
Hawaii is the most popular of !
all the foreign stations. 1t af- !
fords an ideal location for an !
army post.-Washington Star.
+++++++++++++++

WASHINGTON, September 2O.-The
prospective orders for the detail of new
regiments to the Philippines to take
the place of those now there, which
will be issued when Gen. Bell, chief Of
staff, returns to Washington; caused an
army officer to refectively remark that
"every day in the year some part of
the American army is on the move.
1t is like boiling pot, he said; "the
army as an institution remains station
ary, but the contents keep moving all
the time
The term of service of our soldiers
in foreign possessions of the United
States is limited to two years. This,
however, does not include the time oc
cupied in going and coming which with
the modern transports of today is re.
lieved of much OF the discomfort and
hardship suffered years ago.
Two years of service has been found
by nations having soldiers detailed in
the tropics TO be about all that white
men can stand without suffering mental
and physical deterioration. The Amer
lean soldier, as rule, likes the Philip
pine service, not only because of its
foreign character, but for the reason
that he gets extra pay for that detail
and it counts double in computing
time of service for retirement. Travel
and the prospect of seeing new things
pleases him also.
Three -Fifths in More Than $50 Posts,
Three .ffths of the approximately So.
900 enlisted men in the army who are
stationed within the territorial limits
of the United States are located in
more than l5O posts, some of them In
the centers of population and Others
on the frontier and in remote corners
with the men in charge ranging in
from a dozen caretakers for
posts to regiment or
more in thickly populated sections. In
the Philippines the men are much more
scattered and in locations that are not
so easily accessible as the United
States.
"The lot of the soldier today" said
a well known army officer who has
risen from the ranks, sis far in ad.
vance of what it was when | was a
private. Frontier posts are not so iso-
portunities for personal advancement
and improvement intellectually have
increased and in many other ways
army life is at higher level and the
soldier is in every way far in advance
of the private soldier of the European
armies.

TELEPHONE WORK
WILL Be RUSHED

Despite the threatened trouble over
the fee business, the telephone com
pany has continued right along with
its operations. Supplies are now on
the way and just as fast as they ar
rive, the construction work will be
rushed. New poles are now being plac.
ed in those districts where aerial dis.
tributing lines will continue to do SER
vice and everything is being put into
shape for the installation of the new
automatic phones which will replace
the present manual system.
That the company does not intend
to drive a close bargain in its deal
with the county is evidenced by the
stand which its officers have already
taken in regard to conduits which have
already been laid. The agreement
reached with the county provides that
the company shall lay duet for the
municipality in the trenches where it
is laying the telephone conduit, at 10
cents per lineal foot. Nothing is said
about ducts on those streets where the
company already had completed its
work.
On Merchant street the conduit was
laid some weeks ago in order to make
ready for the paving of the street.
At that time there was no question
of duet for the county police and
fire alarm system. Therefore that
stretch is eliminated from the figuring.
But the county wants a duct ON Mer-
chant street, SO the company will turn
over to the municipal authorities one
of the ducts in its own conduit which
1t laid as provision against future
expansion of the system. This will
mean that, when the growth of the city
demands more cables, the company will
be under the necessity of laying more
conduit because its reserve duct will
be given over to the municipal system.
On Alakea and King streets, where
the old company laid conduit some
time ago, the company will also supply
the county with duct, uu the price
of 15 cents foot, though the laying
of the conduit cost the old company
40 cents a foot.
According to Expert Hummell, the
company has taken upon itself no small
responsibility in agreeing to keep the
county's duet in repair for twenty
seven years. Though cables in under.
ground duets require far less atten.
tion than do wires strung overhead
on poles, there are many mishaps
which may necessitate the outlay of
large sums of money in the repair of
conduit. A leak in gas main may
food the duct with gas; a careless
workman goes down into a manhole
with cigarette; bang, and $1,000
worth of conduit and concrete go up
in dusti
The laying of gas mains, sewer lines
and water pipe also constitutes men.
ace to the duct. A pick driven through
a section of conduit may cause trouble
which can only be located with the
greatest of difficulty and the repairs
may run into the hundreds of dollars.
The moving of conduit to make way
for sewer main and storm drains means
heavy outlay. A duet cannot be bent
down under another pipeline, for upon
just such engineering rocks have many
telephone systems come to
grief. Where an elevation has to be
changed, the alteration must be made
from manhole to manhole. A sag in
the conduit furnishes pocket in
which water collects and the result is
ruin and disaster.

NO MORE PRIVATE
MAIL FOR WOMEN

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Women are no
longer to be permitted to obtain mail
at the general delivery of the Chicago
postoffice unless their identity is fully
established. This fact was made known
this afternoon wher every woman who
applied for mail at the general deliv-
cry was given card to fill out calling
for lot of intimate information, such
as one s correct name-not the pseudo
nym by which one conducts a general
delivery cOrrespondence-one IS correct
address, etc.
Protest, But in Vain.
The order was brought about by the
knowledge on the part of the post
Office officials that the general delivery
is used in very large measure by
women who desire to carry on clan
destine correspondence and that this
abuse of postofiice facilities is very
frequently INDUCED in by young girls.
Today's action brought forth storm
of protest on the part of women who
were given cards and many Of them
declared they never would consent to
fill them ont. To all such statements
! General James T. Stuart, chief post
Office inspector of the Chicago division,
returned the gentle but firm reply that
"unless you comply with the conditions
we shall be unable, much as we regret

The occasion marked the first step
in the reformation of the general de-
livery system in Chicago. If the plan
proves successful Ii probably will be

partment of the postoiliee work is said
TO be greatly abused,

TRIAL FOR DOUBLE
MURDER BEGINS
NEXT WEEK

SEATTLE. Wash, September "A
notable ease to be taken up at the
september term of the criminal court
To convene next week is that of Eugene
Fortier, who will be placed on trial
for the murder of his brother, s. NJ
Fortier, and the latter wife. The dou.
bile crime was committed last May al
Denny Station, where the slain man
kept grocery store.
The murder of NJ. Fortier occurred
in his store. The only witness to the
tragedy was a young girl, who was in
the store TO make purchase. Ac-
cording to the story told by the girl,
Eugene Forter entered the store by a
rear door and without warning fred 4
shot into his brothers back Waiting
only long enough TO see his victim fail
to the floor, Fortier ran out of the
building Turning to look back after
he had gone a short distance, he saw
that his brother had managed to eraw,
to the door and cry out for assistance.
Returning TO the scene. Fortier fired
five shots into his brothers. head, kill
ing him Jumping into buggy that
stood near the madman drove rapidly
in the direction of lumber camp,
where the wife of his murdered brother
was employed as a cook. Before the
man intentions could be OWNED he
had gained good start and the sheriff
and a posse of citizens, who had start
ed to follow, were untable to oyertake
him.
Within an hour a telephone message
was received from the lumber camp
stating that Forter had shot and killed
his brothers wife. After committing
the second murder Fortier plunged in
to the woods, where he was later over
taken and captured by a posse of cit
liens. The only motive known for the
crime is the fact that Fortier had been
employed in his brother S store and had
been discharged short time before the
tragedy.
