FINANCES OF THE NATION
Million Dollar surplus-0ctober De-
ficit of s5,oOo,o0O-ss 100000 on
Hand-ss6, 100000 Gen. Fund.

Washington.-November was a
highly favorable month for the fl
nanecs of the United States Treas
ury. 1t produced a surplus on all
accounts of nearly 100000, where
October had produced deficit OF
more than S5,O00,000.
The working conditions OF the ma
tion's cash drawer shows CORES
ponding improvement for the
month. December opened with a
working balance of S34,00O,OOO on
hand and $S6,OOO,OO0 in the general
fund, an improvement of round
100000 in the cash available for
immediate operations. This con-
dition would seem to justify Secre-
tary MacYeagh's confidence in the
Treasury's ability to maintain itself
for the present without financing.
AS compared with this date last
year receipts are Si4,000,OOO higher
and expenditures are s5,0OO,O0o low
.er. The result of all this is that the
total deficit for this fiscal year to
date is S2O,0O0,000 as against Sa4,-
100000 this time last year.
The general condition OF the
Treasury's finances seems TO augur
against any issue of secur' 'es In
the immediate future.

FOUR GET LIFE SENTENCES
Circus Men Who Murdered Young
Paul Williams.

mer employees of the Hagenbeck-
Wallace circus were sentenced to
life Imprisonment for; numbering
Paul A. Williams of Columbia on

Clark, Garland Brown and John
Wilson, three negroes, are the con-
victed men.
Nichols and Clark were tried and
found guilty of murder with recon-
mendation TO the mercy of the court.
Judge Gage directed that the same
verdict be found in the, case against
Brown and Wilson, who pleaded
guilty and threw themselves on the
mercy of the court.
The evidence which was offered
during the trial of Nichols and Clark
is best described by. the words of
Judge Gage, who said, in imposing
sentence on the four prisoners: Il
have never heard in any court house
proof of a more revolving murder
than that which you have been
found guilty of committing"
The defendants did not go on the
stand.
In charging the jury, which
brought in a verdict Of guilty with
recommendation to mercy in the
case of Nichols and Clark, Judge
Gage told them that when two or
more men were engaged in a COM
mon enterprise, the act of one was
the act of;iall. Hezssssid that it did
not matter who fired the fatal shot,
but that all were equally guilty if
they were aiding and abetting the
crime,
Sentence was imposed upon Ed,
White, Roy Rich and DAVE Woods,
found guilty Of robbery. Each was
given three years.

condition for work, but would not
apply himself so. assiduously as
formely. Mrs. Tillman emphasized
the last remark by declaring that
she would keep him as quiet as
possible.
"Yes," said the senator, .'she is
running the airship and I guess she
will be able to keep it pretty close
to the ground"
Senator Tillman attributes his
restoration to health to the fact
that since he got out of bed he has
been giving his attention to the

been in hiding for over a year, has
Informed the editors of the maga-
zine publishing his story that ne
will return to the United States with
his wife and children December %
in order to spend Christmas here.
DR.. Cook, in his story, deals with
the psychology of his adventure and
says:
did 1 get to the North Pole?
Perhaps I made mistake in think
ing that did. Perhaps [ did not
make a mistake After mature
thought confess I don't know abso-
lutely whether I reached the Pole or
not. This may come as an amazing
statement, but I am willing to startle
the world if, by so doing, can get
the opportunity to present my case.
By may case mean, not my case as
a geographical discoverer, but my
case as a man. Much as the attain
ment of the North Pole once meant
to me, the sympathy and confidence
of my fellow men mean more.
''If, after reading my story you
say Cook is sincere and honest; half
crazed by months of isolation and
hunger, he believed he reached the
Pole; he is not a fakir;' then | shall

DR.. Cook tells the story of his life
and pictures what he call the over
powering ambition of exploration
that beset him until he finally cul-
minated in his effort to reach the
Pole.
DR.. Cook declares that at the
time he convinced himself he had
discovered the Pole, he was half
mad He spent two years in his
quest and during that time endured
hunger with privation that, he says,
would unbalance any mind.
The explorer states that it would
be impossible for any one to de-
monstrate beyond question that he
ha been to the North Pole. He
characterizes the region as region
of insanity, where one. cannot be-
lieve the evidences gathered by
ones own eyes.
He says that he had always look

as an achievement for his own
