she found him intoxicated. He had
spent the money given him, for booze,
and had not purchased anything for

him about his waywardness and fritz
tering away her money, whereupon
Ladda went into the pantry and came
out with $40 bill in his hand, saying
he had gotten II from .Gilsky. She
told him to return it to him, but he
would not do so.
Ladda, testifying in his own behalf,

in his life and had not seen Gilsky's
SO bill.
Judge Arnold found him guilty and
sentenced him to 80 days in the coun-
ty Jail

General Chaffee Does Not Be-
Iieve Troops Will Travel in
Automobiles.

Los Angeles, Sept. 29.-Just before the
final adjournment of the National
Guard convention, Lieutenant General
Adna r. Chaffee, retired, said that the
military hope Of the country lies in con-
scTiption,
General Chaffee urged that each con-
SresSiOnal district in the Union be re-
spOnstble for a certain number Of re-
crults to the army establishment, and
that the number be large enough that
$4,000 could be retired every year. Al
the end of ten years the United States
would have a reserve army of 5000 900
trained men.
General Chaffee belittled the possible
use of the aeToplane in warfare, and also
said that the transportation Of trOOpS
by automobile would not do. Y do not
take any stock in these late inventions"
he said, "as war utilities. The next
time we go to war, you will hoof it.

General 1Iarina's skiIfuIIy planned
operations were highly praised. After
the reverse of July p and the subse-
quent losses, General Marina declared
that it would be a useless waste Of life
TO proceed on a small scale in the opera
tons, and that the lIoors who have
been making raids from the rocky fast
nesses Of Mount Guruga must be dis
lodged or oUtfanked Accordingly he
withdrew his advanced posts and waited
until he had concentrated 60. 900 men
and slNty-eight cannon, which We're di-
Vided into two columns on Sept. 20. One
column was sent north to Cape Tres
fOrcas, to prevent the possibility Of a
rear attack, and sent southwark. Both
operations were successful, and after
Nador and Zelouan were taken, the
MOOrS evacuated the territory and no
resistance was encountered when the
Spanish forces scaled the sides of the
mountain and planted the flag on its
summit.
What has become Of the main body of
the MOors is not clear from the official
dispatches. Unofficial reports intimate
that while General Marina accompanied
the column TO the south the Moors dOu-
bled back west of Mount Guruga and
Joined in a surprise attack upon Cen
eral Sotomayo last night. Official cir
ClCs, however believe that the MOors
are thoroughly discouraged and the
successful Windup of the campaign is
expected to arouse a wave of patriotic
enthusiasm which viii greatly strength
en- the MaUra government, whose enc
mics counted upon q proTacted strug-
gle. with perhaps serious reverses, 5n5
possibly complete failure
Abroad the victories are expected to
enrance Spanish prestige greatly and
the policy of nou-interference to which
the powers subscribed viii give the
Spanish government an opportunity to
reap the full benefit Of the cOUutry's
military success. Some doubt exists
that the government intends to take adj
vantage of the situation to extend its
sphere of influence i'm Africa and posi-
bly, to realize the dream Of so many
SpaniardS the creation of an independ-
ent colony in Africa, to compensate for
the hUmiiiating losses beyond the seas.
As il is manifestly impossible for Mo-
rocco to pay the indemnity which Spain
will demand, Spanish occupation can he
prOtraCted for many years. The mines
which were the cause of the trouble are
considered immensely rich, and much is
expected from Industrial exploitation.

The facts are these. The story con-
corning Governor Spry and Senator
Smoot was first brought to the Tribune
office at O'Clock or Whereabouts last
Sunday afternoon by Frank T. Sefrit,
general manager Of the Tribune and
Telegram. He told the story to A. F.
Philips, political writer on the Tribune,
and to William Nelson, the editorial
writer. Philips sat down and wrote
the story. In collaboration with him
were Nelson and Sefrit.
George r. Beere the reported who
had been assigned to cover the story
of the church services, arrived and
reference to tie Smo0t-Spry rumors,
as the reporter knew nothing about
them. When Reporter BeeTe returned
to the office from dinner Managing
Editor Arthur G. White of the Tribune
brought to him the long story con-
corning Governor SpTy and Senator
SmOOt which had been written by Phil
Ups. Managing Editor White instructed
the reporter to put the story into Eng
lish newspaper style.
Reporter Beere demurred. saying that
he knew nothing about the story, that
it was Mr.. Philips story, and that he
did not desire to become involved in
it. The managing editor insisted, and
the reporter wrote the story as lt
finally appeared in the Tribune, the
various phrases of opinion having been
White after it was turned over to the
copy desk.
Nothing further developed concern
ing it i'm the Tribune office until Mon
day afternoon, when the storm Of pro-
tests became so great that the owner
of the Tribune interfered. He called
up his heads Of departments and or
dered an apology. and also said that
the man or men responsible ought to
have something happen to them that
would insure in the future that state
ments of fact he carefully avoided be-
cause danger lies in making direct
statement.
Of course. there had to be a sacri-
flee to appease the public and the
owner. Messers. Sefrit, White, Philips
and Nelson agreed that there would
have to be a sacrifice. It was neces-
sarv to tell the people that the man
who wrote the story had been dis
charged. BeeTe was selected as the
sacrifice. Managing Editor White, who
had forced Beere to reWrite the story
from the article Philips had written.
told Deere that he was discharged. The
fact that Beere had the Philips story
in his possession and was able to pro-
duce it as evidence that he was not
responsible did not save ham.
That is the story Of the way the
Tribune was imposed upon, and of
the way in which the reporter was
discharged

BANK ROBBED IN COLORADO
Two Men Secure $4,000 at Glen
wood Springs and Make Their
Escape With the Loot.

Glenwood Springs. Colo. Sept. 29.-Two
men entered the Citizens National bank
in broad daylight here today and after
holding up two clerks robbed the safe
and escaped on horseback with $4,000.
The robbery was planned with great de-
liberation. Selecting a time when Vice
President J.. +. DTach and other Jifi-
Cials were absent. the men drove up to
the bank. hitChed their horses and en-
tered as If they were customers. In re-
Spouse to a question they whipped out
revolvers and backed the clerks up
against the wall. While one man covered
the clerks. the other leisurely robbed the
safe and cash drawers. Both men then
mounted their horses and escaped to the
mountains. They were soon followed by
a posse. At one point shots were eX-
changed and one of the fugitives' horses
was killed. At a late hour tonight the
thought the men had gone over the noun
tains.

Just what passed between the two men
was not disclosed. Mr.. Dickinson said he
had mentioned the subject to General
Grant when he called at the department

ing General Grant, the matter could not
be treated officially and it is believed the
seCretaTy's reference was ocular
Earlier in the day General Grant justi-
fled his action in appearing in the parade
on the ground that it was dem
onstration in favor of good government
and was not temperance parade.
Inasmuch as no orders were issued to
General Grant to march in the parade,
Secretary Dickinson holds that the for
meT's presence therein cannot be regarded
as an official action or as giving the
