j. S. NOT CONTENT WITH
GETTING THE MONEY!
MIR. Macveagh's Statement
Regarding differentiation
Customs Fraud Cases.

"Merely getting the money will not
satisfy the United States government in
differentiation customs fraud cases
where there is evidence to convict the
offenders. The Treasury Department yes
terday officially expressed its policy in a
reply sent to a man in New York who
asked if the government would be will
ing to settle all cases on q money basis.
The reply, which was approved by Secre-
tary MacVeagh, is in part as follows:
1T is not the policy of the department
to permit guilty parties to escape so long
as the department receives the cash
which is coming to it,
'On the contrary, every case presented
for action is treated upon its own merits.
and it is beyond the Jurisdiction or au-
thority Of this department to promise i'm
munity to any person who violates the
law.
I'm cases where compromises are accept
ed 1t Is because the Department of JUS
tice, In concurrence with this department,
believes that that settlement of the queS-
ton Is in the interest Of public justice
There is no authority OF law by which
this department can decide as to whether
upon conviction. the guilty parties shall
escape the added penalty of imprison-
ment
May Bring Civil Suits.
''It should be borne in mind. however,
that there are many cases in which civil
suits for additional duties and forfeiture
proceedings for penalties may be main
tanned, but in which the evidence would
not justify convictions upon criminal pro-
ceedings. In such cases 1t is proper for
this department to accept the duties or
penalties, or both, without regard to the
question Of criminal prosecution
Since Secretary MacVeagh set in mo-
ton an investigation into the extent Of
undervaluation, queries have been pour
ing into the department asking whether
payment Of the money would satisfy the
government.

HARD WORK AND MUCH FUN

After a careful counting of the dead
men, on each side, victory in yesterday S
battle between scouts and Indians of the
y. NJ. G. a. troop of boy scouts, was
awarded to the latter band. The Indian
tribe was found to haveo larger number
of warriors without the telltale chalk
marks. after the grueling contest had
been halted by a general desire for some
thing to eat. The score was ~ to 81,
meaning that the Indians had thirty-one
men without chalk marks, while the
scouts could count but twenty-seven
with the same distinction.
The scene of the battle was laid

of Big Chief Harry W. Long. Although
the victory was awarded the Indian band.
the redskins were unable to dislOdge the
defenders.
Spy Steals the "Grand Scalp"
a spy game proved an exciting climax
to a day of sport. Several patrols went
into camp guarding a grand scalp" a
scarlet scarf. which hung from the limb
Of a nearby tree. In the guardian band
was a traitor or spy, whose duty 1t was
to carry off the scalp under the very
noses Of it's guardians. The latter knew
such an attempt would be made. but
were. of course, unaware of the identity
of the traitor Charles Brumbaugh turn
ed out to be the man, and, although
closely guarded, he managed to make
away with the scalp. aided by confeder-
ate on the outside. who, mounted on a
trusty steed (which closely resembled a
bicycle, waited in a nearby thcket until
Charles brought the scalp to him. Charles
managed to outdistance his pursuers in
the race to the waiting confederate and
saw the latter carry the scalp to victory.

FOREIGNERS COLONIZING

John II. Curran. until few days ago
head of the state board OF immigra-
Tt.oN commissioners, has submitted to
| Governor Hadlcy detailed report of
the operation of the board since its
organization in the summer of 1903
The report contains some interesting
figures.
Curran says that during that time
there has been sold to colonists in
the state through the instrumental
/ .ty Oh the board 245,oOO acres of land
and 10 farm settlers something like
20o GEO acres. The 000 families
that have been settled on farms by
the commissioners will add $1,000
Gao 10 The value Of the farm products
Of the state annually.
iIet Gain OF $500.
Mr.. Curran states that the value
! OF farm lands has increased from SO
| to 81 per acre all over Missouri dur
ing the past year. DurUg the past
twelve months there have been 90
! 0o0 incomerS to the state. The in
corners to the cities were 30.790 and
the incomers to the rural districts
were 24,1l0. The total number of
outgoing citizens during the twelve
months vas 300, leaving the net
gain to the state OF IL, 300
The counties in which there was
the heaviest influx of people were
those in the extreme Southeastern
section where much rich land is being
reclaimed by drainage. These coun-.
ties are Cape Girardeau Scott, Stod-
datd. Mississippi, Butler. New Mad
rid. Dunklin and Pemiscot.
Four Foreign Colonies.
Colonies are now being located as
follows: Swiss in Howell county:
Dutch in Dunklin; Italian in Phelps,
and hungarian in iron.
Jackson county had nearly one
tenth OF the entire number of incom-
ers into the state during the past
twelve months. The figures are $500
for jackson, while the city OF st.
Louis had only 1000. Buchanan
had 100; Greene, l,S00; St. Fran
co.'s. 1910 and st. Louis county. A.

Counties north of the Missouri had
but very few incomers. All of the
heavy increases are in the counties
south OF the river. Curran recon-
mends large appropriations by the
legislature to carry on the work of
inducing people to settle in Mis-
souri,.

THRILLER ON A FERRIS WHEEL
frightened Woman in PerIIOus Posi-
iOn Saved by Bravery of
Manned Man.

Just as H-year-old Margaret Kenzig OF
Wales avenue, the Bronx, New York had
CLIMBED into car of the $50 foot-high
fefrls wheel al ClasoD Point park and
while her mother, a tall woman weighing
some 200 pounds, was climbing in after her.
tho great wheel began it's revolution and
before the Mortified gaze of more than 1000
women and children who were having an
outing In the park, the woman. with but
one leg in the car and her hands clutchiug
the braces OF the seat, was carried upward.
Amid the screams of her daughter and the
occupants OF the other cars OF the revolving
wheel, she was lifted to a height of more
than seventy-five feet before the engineer
in charge OF the wheel, John Deals, under
stood what the clamor was about Then
lac heard the woman scream:
stop the wheel. l can hold no longerl
shall fall"
Dealis quickly stopped the machinery.
The wheel, carried around by its own mo
mentum, whirled the woman a few yards
further and then stopped, leaving her sus-
pended in mldair, with one foot and half
of her body In the swinging car and the
other half hanging almost head downward
between the car and the iron framework of
the wheel.
AS she hung, still calling frantcally for
help. her daughter. terrified, leaned over
the edge of the car and tried TO hold her
mother up. But this only made the childs
position dangerous. 1t looked as II both
would plunge from the car Deals, because
OF the heavy network of cross-peces and
girders of the framework below the woman,
was afraid TO reverse the wheel and lower
her again to the starting platform The
crowd below became panic stricken and
several women tainted The men In the
crowd shouted to Mrs Kenzig not to let
SO her hold
AZ this moment John Carroll. a special
Waterman at the park, ran up, attracted
by the screams Of the women and children.
Carroll, until three years ago was an IRON
worker employed in bridge work. but was
caught at that time between two Orders
OF bridge on which he was working and
his left hand was so badly crushed that
he lost the use of II.
Carroll threw off his coat and despite his
manned hand caught hold OF the wooden
framework OF the Ferris wheel with his
good hand. Slowly. amid the cheers OF the
crowd below, he climbed up the network OF
lntersecting boards until he reached the
center of the great wheel. Then on his
hands and knees he crept out along cross
piece that led as a sort of spoke to the
car where Mrs. kenzlg was hanging lie
climbed into her car, showed the frightened
child away from her mother, and grabbed
the woman just as she tainted The crowd.
