distributions of recent years nearly
IS, 000, 900, most of which has been given

bodies of certain sums when they
should have collected other stipulated
amounts.
The money to be given April IA will
be distributed as follows:
American Board of Foreign Missions,

II shall celebrate my birthday by get

year ago gave notice that would be
getting old by this time and that a
young man of my age had no business
being in debt. I shall lie down on
April IA cut of debt for the first time

standing pledges for many years, and
have worked them off as one after an
other of the institutions met their OBJ
! legations"
While most of DIR. Pearson's gifts

of the beneficiaries. Among the chief
| beneficia-ies of DIR. Pearson among the
smaller schols has been the Berea
college, of Kentucky, which has re-
ceived more than S400. 900. In reviewing
! his gifts today he said the one from
which he had derived the most pleas
ure was the gift of $4,000 for a water
--orks system for Berea-
| The philanthropist was one of the
early settlers in Chicago. The greater
share of his wealth was derived from
| the increased value of extended real
estate holdings in this city. Twenty
| five years ago he retired from business
and most of his gifts have been from
money derived by the sale of valuable
pieces of real estate.

New York stock Market.

Wall ST. New York, March 31.-STOCKS
--Atchison was the most active stock at
the opening today. The tone of the mar
ket was easy with the majority of the ac-
tive issues yielding fractionally. Canadian
Pacific lost ., United States Steel 15s and
Union Pacific IL.
Selling pressure increased and prices
went materially under yesterdays close
figures. Union Pacific fell IA, Reading
and Lehigh and National Biscuit IA
Increased selling gave a heavier tone
to the market this morning and some sub
stantial losses were established. The bulk
of the selling was concentrated in the
first hours business, the market falling
into intense dullnesS, but prices improved
slightly. AdviceS from Washington init
mating that the attorney general con-
templating close scrutiny of the affairs of
Wall street was responsible in large part
for the weakness of the morning.
Bonds were steady.
With the completion of the London sell
ing which was estimated at 10000 shares
the market forged upward slowly and
made a good portion of its forenoon losses.
Canadian Pacific rallied ~ from its low
level. United States Rubber and the fer
7tilizer stocks were much more active and
about a point higher than yesterday.
Lake Erie and Western preferred declined
331 and Western Maryland /
The purchase movement showed signs
of exhaustion in the early afternoon and
prices of many stocks ultimately went
back to about their early low level. There
seemed to be some disposition to get out
of the market until after the supreme
court assemblies on Monday.

HE'S A REBEL NOW
Lieutenant Burbank Is Fighting
in Mexico.
Marriage to Filipino Caused Dis
missaI From Army.
WAS SENT TO PRISON.
This Was for Embedding Funds
OF Company.
Comes From a Long Line OF
Fighters.

Fort Leavenworth, Kan, March 81
The report has reached Fort Leaven-
worth that Sidney S. Burbank, formerly
lieutenant in the Sixth infantry, IS
in Mexico fighting as an officer in the
army of the insurrectos.
Burbank comes of a family highly
konored since the days of the first
army of the United States. His great
lutionary war; his grandfather was d
brigadier general and his father cap
tain. All died holding commissions in
the regular army and leaving behind
them proud names. The young heir TO
this heritage of honor enlisted in the
Nineteenth infantry at Fort Wayne.
Mich, September 6, 1897 and served as
private, corporal and sergeant to No
vember 16 1899, when he was commits
stoned for gallant service in the Span
ish-American war.
After the war Burbank served with
his regiment, now the Sixth infantry,
through trying campaign in the Phil
ippines, returning to Fort Leavenworth
In July, 1902, young, handsome, a vet
eran of two wars.
A year of social pleasures followed.
Burbank became engaged to a young
woman of a family as distinguished
as his own. But dismissal from the
nouncement of his engagement. Be-
fore congratulations for his betrothal
had ceased to come Filipino woman
startled Fort Leavenworth with a ca
BILE that she already was Burbank s
wife. Furthermore, she said Burbank
was the father of her young son. Bur-
bank denied it all. But the Filipino
woman forwarded documents to
Washington to prove her marriage.
Then Burbank filed suit to annul q
marriage which he alleged did not eX-
list. The only suit approaching this
was filed in the old ecclesiastical court
in England four centuries ago, when
the bishops had charge of all the
matrimonial and divorce matters.
Mrs. Burbank won the suit, in spite
of her husbands attempts to blacken
her character by calling private SOL
against her. His marriage was an
nulled, however-with the provision
that he never could marry again.
Soon after this case was settled an
other. equally serious, faced Lieuten-
ant Burbank. He was accused of en-
bezzling $485 of his company's funds
found guilty by court martial and
sentenced to dismissal and fifteen
months imprisonment. President
Roosevelt approved the sentence and
in the federal penitentiary in Leaven-
worth.
February IL, 1907. he was released
The army officer in charge did not tell
him goodby-he was prohibited from
speaking to him except in the line OF
duty.
For months Burbank wandered
about the country-always avoiding
army posts and army people. News
paper dispatches told of his arrival in
Indianapolis, where an uncle lived
in San Antonio, Texas, where his
mother and sister shared his sense OF
shame. He had studied electricity
while in prison, and obtained several
positions in which he could use that
knowledge, but a sense of unrest al
ways overcame him and he wandered
elsewhere,

MAINE FALLS INTO Line,
Legislature Adopts the Federal In.
come Tax Amendment.

Augusta. Me-, March S1.-Follow-
ing a conference between Governor
Plaisted and the Democratic leaders
of the house and senate, the legisla-
ture voted to ratify the proposed
amendment to the federal constitution
providing for an income tax. This ac-
ton squarely reversed that taken by
the senate and house previously, in
voting against the federal tax and
adopting state tax measure.
During a recess Governor Plaisted
called in the Democratic leaders and
reminded them of their platform
pledges, with the result that the
amendment was reconsidered and rat
flied. A state income tax measure
previously passed was then killed,
Later the house concurred in the sen.
