opposed any fusion of the. races since
the Civil war, despite the fact that It
was common in slavery days.
Mr.. Hucaby is a typical Southerner
in appearance, tall and lanky with
black hair and delicate, thin, pale
features. Having had the broadening
effects of study and travel to help him
in his opinions on this subject, he
believes that the fusion of the white
and the black people of the South
would not be, as undesirable as many
of his fellow Southerners declare.

President Taft signed the Canadian
reciprocity pact at 2:30 o'clock this
afternoon. He affixed his signature
to the bill in the presence of num-
Der Of distinguished persons, includ-
ing Secretary Knox. The agreement,
ready for the signature of Mr.. Taft,
having the signatures of the Vice
President and the Speaker, reached
the White House at 1:12 o'clock this
afternoon. The President was ex-
pected to sign it without delay, but
he announced that he would, not, do
so until Secretary Knox could be
present; also a number of others he
wished to invite. The reciprocity
bill has been before Congress for
months and its passage without
amendments was a great victory for
the President. f .s,sg 4n

Postal Employees Get Increased Pay.


Postmaster General Hitchcock has
issued orders for the payment of
about $1,200,0OO for the promotion of
post office clerks during the current
fiscal year and of about $800,OOO for
the promotion of city letter carriers.
Thus the four great groups of postal
employees, city post office clerks, rail-
way mail clerks, city letter carriers,
and rural letter carriers will receive
during the fiscal year beginning July
l, advances in pay aggregating more
than $6,000,00O, which is unprece-
dented. Mr.. Hitchcock favors liberal
compensation for postal employees, be-
lleving that it means increased effci-
ency. Notwithstanding the increases
in pay there will be surplus of re-
ceipts over expenditures, the most re-
markable showing ever made in the
history of the Postoffice Department.

BOY RECITES A PITIFUL
STORY OF ILL TREATMENT
Found Asleep on Back Porch of Juvenile Court
BuiIdng-Had Been Eating from Garbage Cans,
After Running Away from Home

pathetic case was before Judge De
Lacy, of the Juvenile Court, yesterday,
when Samuel Sabapa, a twelve-year-old
Italian boy, of 2S7 Willow Tree alley,
was found sleeping on the back porch
of the court building.
It was a pitiful story he told. He said
that on Monday his mother whipped him
for not selling papers, and as soon as
the 1Ogging was over he ran away.
Where he spent the night was not
learned, but early yesterday morning, as
the court was being opened, he appeared
and got drink of ice water. The boy
then retired to the porch, where he was
found by officials.
He was dirty, ragged, and weak, and
said he had not eaten anything for q
long time. samuers mother, who runs
a clearinghouse in Willow Tree Alley,
was summoned to the court.
Judge De Lacy ordered an examina-

ton Of the boy by physicians, and they
declared he had appendicitis. Mrs. Sa-
bapa did not seem alarmed, but NUT
tered that the best thing for him would
be to cut his head off. The boy was
sent TO the House of Detention, to remain
over night, and he will be removed to-
day. probably, to the Emergency Hos
pital for an operation.
About three weeks ago the boy Iefr
his home as he did yesterday, and later
was found at the Center Market eat
ing out Of garbage cans. He became
sick as result Of feeding on the slops,
and 1t was thought then he was suffer
ing from appendicitis. The boy was taken
before Judge De Lacy on a charge of
vagrancy and placed on probation.
The officials at the House of Deten-
ton said last night that Samuel did not
seem to be suffering but was very weak

Arbitrary System Adopted.

Both Person and w. E. Andrews,
Auditor for the Treasury Department,
who appeared before the committee yes
terday. told of the imposition of an ar
bitrary system of auditing transporta-
ton accounts in the Treasury Depart
ment whereby clerks from each office
were detailed in the face o. the COM
bined contrary recommendations Of the
auditing officials, and in a manner which
was contrary to law.
For the purpose OF directing questions
as to methods in the Office of the dis
bursting clerk Of the Treasury Depart
ment, and especially as to the shortage,
amounting to $1,000, of Maj. George A.
Bartlett, who was disbursing officer Of
the Treasury prior to 1906, the Expendi-
lures Committee yesterday had before 1t
Sydney r. Jacobs, the incumbent
of the office. Mr.. Jacobs said the short
age was discovered a few days before
Bartletts death, when the Treasury ex-
aminers took charge of his books and
his Office. 1t was his theory that Bart
lett had simply extracted the amount Of
a claim he had been endeavoring to col
Iect from the government, probably con-
sidering that he was rightfuIly entitled
to it.
''In those old days" said Jacobs, 'it
was very easy to cover up shortage
under the bookkeeping methods en-
pIoyed"
He told of a number Of instances
where it had been possible to obtain
signatures to blank vouchers and raise
them to higher amounts without detec-
ton. Under the present system, Jacobs
declared, no such procedure is possible.
The committee will continue its in
vestigation of the Treasury Department
to-day, Assistant Secretary Curtis prob
ably occupying the stand. Chairman
Cox intimated yesterday that Secretary
Macveagh would be asked TO appear be-
fore the committee at an early day to
tell what he knows of the Union Build
ing and other transactions.

years stationed at Fort Hunt, near this
city. Sergt Rogers, with other noncom-
missioned experts of the Coast Artillery
Corps, had been ordered north by the
War Department for summer maneuvers.
He was to have been permanently sta
toned at Port williams, Me-, in the
Portland Artillery district. This fact ac-
counts for the presence of his family
with him on the Inflated train.
Relatives OF other victims of the wreck
were Frustrated at the sudden deaths
and were unable to give. at first, coher-
ent accounts Of the plans OF their lost
friends.
Mrs. Mary Walker, of the Berlin, 7

Walker expected to spend a week or
two at Bar Harbor, and then leave for
Haven Me-. where Mrs. Clephane has a

Eleventh street northwest. She is well
known in local educational circles.
Before leaving her apartments Mon
day afternoon, Mrs. Walker appeared
nervous and troubled. and seemed to
have a foreboding OF impending danger.
The janitor OF the Berlin noticed this.
and was almost decided to advise her to
defer her journey. but he soon banished
the thought as a superstition.
Was Travelling Alone.
Mrs. James 3. Royce, of the Maury,
701 Nineteenth street northwest, was
travelling alone. and her objective point
was New London. n. H, where she in
tended spending the summer. James B.
Royce husband OF tine injured woman,

have one daughter. Lillian, who left
late yesterday afternoon for
the bedside OF her mother.

family was that Mrs. Royce was dead.

Mrs. Royce is confined, was reached on
the long distance telephone, and 1t was
found that she was not dead, but pain
fully injured. Her back is badly
wrenched. and she is suffering from
