It is said that the banks of Pittsburg
lost $500, 600 in a single year through
the dishonesty of officials and en-
ployes. A sort of Bertillon system is
TO be tried, so that if a clerk or an Of
fetal should go wrong, he could be the
more easily located. But more than
that, the knowledge of the fact that this
precaution has been taken is expected
to act as a deterrment for many
young man who might otherwise be
tempted to so wrong. One official was
recently presented with, $4,000 for his
wise conduct Of the affairs of the bank
with which he was connected, and not
long afterward 1t was found that he
was an embezzler on a large scale.
In England it is almost impossible
for an outsider to get his hands on the
checks of any bank. The financial in
stitutions there are as careful to pre-
vent their bank checks from getting
out Unfortunately as they are to pro-
tect their money in the vaults. The
American custom Of allowing blanks to.
lie around on counters accessible to
everybody is unheard of. 1t is said
that it is much more difficult to
swindle bank in England than in
America.
A novel case has arisen recently in
volving the rights OF the students IN
business colleges to give checks in the
course OF their make believes business
operations. A Baltimore school used
the blanks of a local bank In its opera
tions. One Of these, calling for the
payment of 5000 was lost in the course
of business in the school, and months
afterward turned up in Oklahoma
where it was cashed. Before reaching
the bank on which it vas drawn 1t had
passed through a half dozen other
banks Many bankers think the law
ought to prevent this sort of simulat-
ing business methods.

MERIT SYSTEM Is
PRAISED WARMLY
lcOntInued from Flrst Pagel


The difficulties in maintaining an exact
apportionment OF appointments according
to population are explained with the state
ment that the commission earnestly en-
deavors to maintain the apportionment "as
nearly as the conditions of good admin
istratlon will warrant" in accordance with
the law.
The report closes with a discussion Of
opinions rendered during the year by the
attorney general on questions arising in
the application OF the civil service law,
among them being that preference on hon
orable discharge on account of wounds or
sickness incurred by soldiers or sailors
in the line Of duty Is the only preference
allowed by law; that this preference is
not subject to the apportionment and ex-
tends over all others on the register ire
spective of rating !, that the residence and
domicile provision of the census act ap-
ply only to- the apportioned service at
Washington and do not apply to persons
already in apportioned positions and that
questions, of domieiie are to be decided
by the commission.

WHO COMMANDS DEPARTMENT?
T lpid Succession of Officers Results
From Mexican Trouble.
DwYER IN CHARGE FEW MINUTES
ARTILLERY officer Files Declaration OF
Authority and f. straishtwRy
Ordered off 20 the
Frontier.

Ever since General Frederick A. Smith
was called to the Rio Grande TO command
a brigade there has been some conjecture
as to who would succeed to command OF
the abandoned Department Of the Missouri
There was a sort Of a sduare-shouldered,
dignified, heel-clicking, military scramble
for the command following the departure
of General Smith, and successors were
snatched away from their posts with such
regularity that there was some apprehen-
sion as to whether the Department Of the
Missouri would be able to locate a COM
mandant.
Colonel Alexander b. Dryer, command
ing the Fourth field artillery. Fort d. A.
Russell. happened to. be the senior officer
o. the department, and naturally would
have succeeded General Smith. In fact,
he filed an order with the department to
the effect that under certain provisions of
articles Of war he would assume the rank
of commander.
His assumption lasted only few minutes
before he was ordered to take his men,
guns and mules to the border.
The next senior officer now took advan-
tage Of the situation, and unless more
troops are ordered out he will become the
department head. He is Colonel George A.
Dodd, Twelfth cavalry Fort d. A. Russell,
who just returned from the Philippines
Unless he Is ordered to the front IT is
likely that he will assume the duties OF
commanding general OF the department for
some time to come. 1t is limited that Gen
eral Smith may also be advanced and that
he may not return to the department in
which event Colonel Dodd would be in
command indefinitely

SHOT WHILE OUT MILKING
California Ranoher Killed by Man
Whom He Had Fed.
NEPHEW IS ANOTHER VICTIM
Weapon Turned on Woman who q
Crawling Through Barn window
and she H. Seriously
wounded.

BAN FRANCISCO, March 12-(special
Telegram -Turning against the people
who had given him a meal and place
to sleep, an unidentified Italian shot and
killed John la Franchi. his nephew Angus
tine Albertoni, and seriously wounded Mrs
Rose La Frsnchi. while the three were
milking on their ranch near 1gnaoia, ~
o'clock this morning.
The tragedy was enacted beneath the dim
rays OF coal oil lanterns IN the COW barn.
Without a word Of warning the murderer
opened fire. First he shot young Albertoni
through the head. As La Franchi raised
his stool and rushed at the Italian he was
dropped with q bullet through the heart
The desperate struggle probably saved the
life Of Mrs La Franehi. who was climbing
through the barn window, as the muir
derer turned his weapon on her and sent
a bullet through each leg.
Although weak from loss OF blood, Mrs.
LIE Franchi crawled TO the ranch OF Super
visor PachecO, q half mile away, and gave
the alarm. Pacheco seized his gun and
rushed toward the barn. When he reached
the harm the Italian was gone and the
two limp corpses doubled up In heaps on
the floor greeted his gaze.
Sheriff Healing at San Rafael and a
party Of deputies and citizens are making
toward the head OF Lucas valley, where
they expect to head off the murderer.
The hunted man is believed to be insane,
Last night he appeared at the door Of the
La Franchi ranch house and demanded
work Finding that the visitor knew moth
ing about milking, La Franohi told him
that they had no other work in the ranch.
The man went to the barn, and the fam
lily retired for the night. This morning
he walked by the trio at the milking stools
as II he were going outside. Mrs, La
Franchi turned. thinking he had raised the
latch of the barn door. AS she did so she
saw the murderer aiming his revolver at
Albertino. Before she could cry out, he
fired.
La Franchi darted from his stool and
rushed at the slayer. When he was three
feet away the man calmly pulled the trig-
ger. The ball passed through the rancher's
heart.

SCIENCE TO OVERCOME DEATH


CONTINUED from First Page)
"Are the sufferings OF an animal great
during operations? ?" DR.. Flexner was asked
1T is a pity the way animal experiments
are spoken Of as viyisection," he replied
THE idea comes down to us from the
day when experiments were made on ami
mails, but it is a painless operation. II you
had ben subjected TO a hypodermie injec-
ton of morphine would you call it vivisec-
ton? In animal experiments 30 per cent
Of the tests consist of hypOdermic injec-
tions.
The question of investigation and curing
disease by animal experimentation apart
from surgery has TO do with the many
forms OF bacrli, developed in different
kinds of animals transferred from one TO
another tested with antidotes and finally
applied to man. OF the more serious
diseases, spinal meningitis has been con-
quered in this way. Leprosy, cancer, tuber-
culosis and bubonic plague are in a fair
way to be cured.
"Our discovery Of the tuberoule bacilli."
! explained DR.. Flexner, was not made until
we performed experiments and produced
! tuberculosis in animals. We learned in that
way that the disease is infectious. That is
| you must not expectOrate, you must KEEP
yourself clean, to protect your family"
