Cash and Checks in Mexico

WANT ANNEXATION.
Moros Get Up a Demonstration During
Dickinson's Visit.

zamboango, Mindanao. P. l., Aug. "a
"A demonstration in favor of the an
nexation of Mindanao to the United
States took place here today. Two hun
dred Filipinos- had presented to Seere-
tary of War Dickinson, who is visiting
the Philippine islands, a petition ask
ing that the Moro islands be placed un-
der Filipino control and the entire archi-
pelago granted independence.
Secretary Dickinson replied that the
American government was not willing
to entrust the government of 335 .00o
Moros to 66, ,00e Filipinos living in widely
scattered regions. He feared that such
a move would lead to a rupture OF
peaceful conditions, when the Ameri-
cans would be left the task of restor-
ing order.
Four Dattos or Moro chiefs represent
ing 10000 Moros. at this point dramati-
cally rendered their allegiance to the
limited States and announced they
would fight if the Americans withdrew.
wild demonstration followed and the
cry that the province must become
American territory ran through the
crowd which had gathered to hear Mr..
Dickinson.

MEADE IS IN CUSTODY.
Suspended Officer Terrorizes Neigh.
borhood With Shotgun.

Two hundred North Topekans wit
nssed the arrest of William w. Meade,
until recently a member of the police
force. after he had terrorized his
neighborhood with Winchester re-
peating shotgun, threatening to kill
his wife or anyone who interfered. He
was taken in custody by Patrolmen
Wilt and Woods after he had been
persuaded to go out of his house by an
acquaintance living in the neighbor-
hood. That Meade was under the in
fiuence of some drug is the belief of
the police. He was locked up about
1880 O'Clock last night and has been
held on charge of disturbing, the
peace.
Meade has been in a deal of trouble
of late, dating to his suspension from
the police force a month ago on the
charge of intoxication. . He was rein
stated but was permanently suspended
last week His last suspension follow
ed a disturbance he created in his
home at 1431 North Quincy street, he
having left his beat without permis-
sion and had driven his frightened
wife from their home in terror of
physical injury. She Immediately
brought suit for divorce on grounds OF
drunkenness and cruelty.
The attention of the neighborhood
was drawn to the Meade house last
night by Mrs. Meade's calls for help
and neighbors found the husband
threatened to ''blow up anyone who
bothered him. 1t is believed he was
in an irresponsible condition from the
use of drugs, says Chief of Police Nor
ris jenkins. He is held for trial IN
pOlice court.

RAIN IS FALLING.
Fires Are Checked in Montana and
Idaho Is Out of Danger.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 24.-Forest
fires continued to advance throughout
the mountains of Idaho and Montana
today, but more slowly, and although
thousands Of majestic pine trees are
destroyed, it is believed that the STRAIT
egy of man has triumphed over the
fury of flame and wind. In the state
of Washington the fires still burning
are of no consequence. The list of
dead in this state has been reduced to
six and the loss of property was not
large except in the timber of the Pend
D'Oreill valley.
In Montana, where the number of
fire fighters has been greatly increased
and whittier large mum berS of United
States soldiers are fastening, rain has
fallen with promise of more.
In Idaho the hoped for rain did not
come but the towns and ranchers are
out of danger and with human life no
longer threatened the fire fighters are
able to wage war directly upon the
great fire masses in the woods.
The most disagreeable news today
came from Sand Point, Idaho, to the
effect that the fires at the upper edge
of Pend D'Oreill lake were increasing.
fire on Independence is approaching
Athol, which is also threatened from
another direction. Destructive fires
are still raging in the mountains and
there will be much mutton roasted un-
less the sheep men can drive their
great flocks to safety.
Forest Ranger Joseph B. Hahn, with
a small crew of men, has been missing
since Saturday, when he was fighting
fire on the big fork of the Coeur
D. Alene river. Hahn was formerly a
star athlete of the Washington state
college.
Near Cabinet. Idaho. ]. Harris and
]. Plant, fire fighters, were burned to
death. Their bodies have been recov-
cred. At Tuscar, Mont, A. G. Bourett
was burned to death and his body was
recovered and buried. This makes
Montana's deaths total two.
At II o. clock today rain was re-
ported falling copiously in Paradise,
the farthest western point reached by
the local officials of the Northern Pa
cific. Saltes and Stregis send similar
reports. Latest reports indicate the
storm is continuing. Supervisor Kin
ney of the Missoula national forest has
received word from more of the
ranger stations in his district, saying
the storm is general. He has sent out
word to all rangers to keep the fire
fighters at their posts.

LET STATE INSURE.
New Plan for Projecting School
Buildings Proposed.


E. d. Stratford. asaaNattorney living
at Ell Dorado, has written Superintend-
ent Fairchild to protest against the
excessive rate of insurance charged by
the different companies for taking the
risk on the school buildings of the
state in general and in Butler county
in particular. Mr.. Stratford has a plan
something like the bank guaranty
scheme, which he thinks should be ap-
piled to the school property of the state
in relation to insurance. He thinks
that the various school boards ought to
draft an insurance idea along this line:
Suppose a tax of a small fraction of
a mill was collected in each city and
school district for an insurance fund.
It is raised by taxation as 1t is paid
department of the state. Suppose there
a policy Is issued by the state or some
department of thestate. Suppose there
is a loss, the amount would be appor-
toned among the different school
boards or districts in proportion to
the amount of insurance they carry
call for. l think it is safe to say that
the cost would not exceed so per cent
of the present cost. and it might be
much less than that
Superintendent Fairchild does not en-
dorse the plan, nor does he repudiate l..
He would leave it to the meeting of
boards of education and school boards
which will meet in state convention
next fall. The superintendent admitted
that the insurance rate on school prop
ertv in this state is excessive, and said
that it had been explained by the COM
panies by the fact that the buildings

risk
