SEVERE PUNISHMENT FOR
 DAvAO MUTINY OFFICERS

Manila, Aug, 12-The high ranking tccnstabulary board which sat from July 2s to August 6 Investigating the Davao mutiny, which occurred June 6, submitted today a report recom- mending severe punishment for four of the officers who had charge of the mutinous company.
 The board examined numerous wit nesses, including several of the cap tured mutineers and its report is ap- proved by Brigadier General Harry H. Bandhoitz, chief of the Philippine con- stahulary
 The investigators demand the resignations of Captain Platka and Lieutenant Dunsworth, on the ground that they are lacking in the proper qualifications for officers and recom- mend the dismissal of Lieutenant Debelaine for un1ustly punishing privates before the mutiny and for abandoning his post.
 The report also recommends the re- ductfon of Lieutenant Goicouria to the bottom of the list of lieutenants and his suspension for a month. Special leniency was shown in the case of Goicouria on account of his youth and the bad example set for him by his superior officers.
 A portion of the second company of native constabulary stationed at Davao, Island of Minltanao. mutinied on the night of June and attacked and captured the company's quarters. After a three hours fight the follow ing day in which one American was killed and four wounded, the mutt ueers escaped to the mountains. Most of them were captured one month later

Many Stories Told of Contemplated Increase fn Capital stock--Name of HsrrAman Frequentiy
 Mentioned In Reports.

Louisville. Ky, Aug, 12-A special to The Evening Post from New 1ork says:
 In the absence from the city of Henry Walters. chairman of the board of the Louisville and Nashville and of the Atlantic Coast Line, which con- trols 1t, the officers of both declined to discuss the report that the Louis- ville and Nashville were contemplat- ing an increase in its capital stock of 40,000,000 and thet the issue would be distributed among the stockholders in the form of @ stock dividend, At the offices of J. P. Morgan and Con- pany. the road bankers. 1t was said that If the company had any such plan in view 1t had not informed the bankers of 1t.
 One reason which prevails for the belief that a stock distribution is prob able, is based on the fact that the Atlantic Coast Line paid about $160 a share to obtain control of the Louis vile and Nashville and 1t is assumed that 1t desires to make its purchase as profitable as possible.
 Another story is that the strength of Chesapeake and Ohio and Louisville and Nashville is somewhat related are associated in the Hawley pool. This is no proof that they will be merged.
 It is known that the Chesapeake and Ohio expects very soon to get con- trol of the Cincinnati. Chicago and Louisville, which will furnish the missing link between the seaboard and the grain fields of the Northwest This business may be concluded in time to let the Chesapeake and Ohio in on the profit out of the huge grain crop this year.
 One rumor this morning had Harri man buying the Louisville and Nash vile, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Chesapeake and Ohio. Nobody dared deny 1t, but nobody believed 1t.
 Louisville and Nashville started off at a higher price than yesterdays record figure.

TO BE AFRAID Is THE GREAT
 EST MISFORTUNE.

There are two kinds of merchants that are developed by store-adver- sity and the cry of hard times. V One is the man who is intimidated promptly when Fortune" rains a few blows upon his head He is the merchant whose first thought, under the stress of unsatisfactory business, is to save" the money he would usually spend for advertis- ing. That impulse, if acted upon, always results in serious injury to his business-iS his self-inflicted death sentence, from a business standpoint
 The other sort of merchant, when Init hard" by discouraging eondi- tions, plans how me may double his advertising effecutally hitting back" :" He is the sort of man who creates and constructs who builds success out Of any ma terials, under any environment.

The merchants of FayetteviIl

The merchants of Fayetteville, Rogers Rentonville and Sloan Springs are carrying on a viz orous advertising campaign, and it is doubtless bringing them business or they would not keep it up Some business men have the mistaken idea that the only time to adver- tise is when there is lots of busi- ness going on, while just the re- verse is true. When business Is dull then the successful merchant in- jeets more ginger" in his advertis- ing and offers inducements for the public to trade with him This not only increases his business for the time being, but when trade gets better people remember his store and naturally go there to do their trading. ,obody likes to trade in store about whihc prevails a gen eral air of depression, and they are not going to do it, either. if they can find any other kind and in these days of keen competition they don't usually have to go very far to find the other kind Ginger up." let the people know that you are alive and want their business
