 FALSE imRRiSoNMENT.s

AS a sequence to the reported rob bery of the home of J. H. Sherman, on Garden street, last Sunday morn ing, and the later confession of Sher- man that he disposed of the goods al legged to be stolen, J, Wexler, a dealer in second hand goods at S33 Central avenue, yesterday filed suit against Charles N Myers, a Memphis jeweler, and City Detective Will Laughlin for S50000 damages for false imprison- ment. George P. Wilmington is at torney for Wexler
 Detective Laughlin had been given an order on W Wexler by Sherman for the return of several diamonds he had disposed of to Wexler. but the latter, upon advice of his attorney, refused to turn the property over to the off cer. WeXler was arrested and placed in jail on the charge of receiving and concealing stolen property He was later released on an appearance bond of $2,000, and yesterday filed the dam age suit against Laughln and Myers
 Service was had on .ayers before he left Hot Springs yesterday afternoon.
 The Sentinel-Record yesterday stat ed that C. N Myers, who was repre- senting the Memphis concern, was detective. This was an error, as Mir Myers is a member of the jewelry firm above mentioned He states. that he simply came here on business, and he believes his business will be sue cessfully completed before he leaves the city.

APPROPRIATION REFORM
 is PLANNED BY HOUSE
REPRESENTATIVE SHIRLEY FA- voRS THE BUDGET PLAN
 ADOPTED BY EUROPE.

Washington, Aug. 23.-jIn serving notice on the house today that he proposed to advocate sweeping re- forms in the manner of appropriating funds, Representative Sherley of Ken lucky, democrat. and a member of the appropriations committee, attacked ilie present method of drawing on the public funds for the conduct of the government. Although, within few hours of adjournment, MT. Sherley said that mo human being now knows how much money will be appropriated by this congress, even in round fig uresp
 Nearly every really serious trouble that has arisen in connection with ap- propriations in this congress, has cont because we consider the indi- vidual bills separately and apart from their relationship to the whole ex- pendture," he continued T hope that this congress will be the last one that ever will appropriate vast sums for the conduct of the public business without having presented to 1t at the beginning of its labors statement of expenditures that, when approved by the congress, shall represent the to- tai that shall be expended for the en- suing fiscal year"
 Mir. Sherley condemned as alto gether unscientific,' the present sys- tenn and insisted that a broader view of the financial situation, so far as the government was concerned was necessary to prevent eStray asance and check unnecessary expenditure. He declared the budget system would solve the situation.
 We are the only great nation on earth" he said, that undertakes to appropriate these vast sums without consideration of the matter as a whole. And when you think that the congress of the United States appro- priates thousand millions and yet we bring in from various and sunday committees bill after bill, anu no one, except as he may gain by private con ference, has any knowledge Of what the totals may be, yol can see the ab- solutely unscientific character of the method The wonder is that with such method the expenditure is not even more than it has been in the past"
 In concluding his arraignment or the dations business methods, Mir. Sherley announced his intention to frame corrective legislation.

LOUNSBERRY WAS AN
 EXPERIENCED ROBBER
MADE A SPECIALITY OF LONE HAND RoBBERiEs OF MAIL
 TRAINS IN THE WEST.

Topeka, Kans.. Aug. 23.-The dar- ing holdup of the Union Pacific mail train near here last night, was not the first big robbery Willis Lounsberry, of Medford, Ore, had committed. As he lay on cot in the hospital here today, seriously wounded, Lounsberry confessed he held up Southern Pa cifis train in a similar manner last January, at Red Bluff, Cal.
 His operations, then. were similar to those of last night. The reports said in the California holdup he boarded the train at Red Bluff, and forced the three mail clerks to pick out the registered mail for him. At Bedding he boarded a sleeping car on the same train and escaped detection.
 It was said at the hospital tonight Lounsberry would recover.
 This Robbery Successful.
 San Francisco. Aug. 23-The South. ern Pacific robbery at Red Bluff, Cal, January last, was one of the clever est and most daring in the west in re- cent years.
 lone bandit swung aboard the mail car of the north-bound Oregon Express at Red Bluff and at the point of a Dis tol forced one Of the mail clerks to bind and gag his two companions
 The robber then tied up a third clerk and rlfled six sacks of registered mail. To avert suspicion, he threw off the proper mail at stations along the way.
 When the express pulled into Re1- ding, the bandit leaped from the car on the side opposite the station 1t was not suspected he had re-boarded the same train, and posses searched for him for days.
 The amount he obtained from the registered mail was hot made public, but the newspaper estimates of his haul ran into thousands.

IF
 THE STANDARD OIL
GARFIELD SAYS ALL ARRANGE MENTs HAD BEEN MADE PRI-
 OR TO 1904 CAMPAIGN.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 23.-All plans for the prosecution of the Standard Oil Company had been outlined by J. R. Garfield, as head of the bureau of corporations, before the fall of 1904, when, Jchn D. Archbold stated today, the company made a contribution of $100,090 to the Roosevelt campaign fund.
 This statement was made tonight by Mir Garfield. who has a letter of November 1. 1904, in which MT. Roose- welt denied that such gifts had been sought
 "A deliberate and unqualified false hood" was the way Garfield charac- terized the evidence given by MT. Archbold, insofar as 1t dealt with the prosecution Instead of opening the books of the Standard Oil Company to the bureau, Archbold and the late H. H. Rogers offered the bureau statements that proved untrue" said Mir. Garfield ''The facts developed by the bureau were proved in court. Instead of acting hastily on my re- port, the president referred it to At torney General Moody and Special Counsel Kellogg, who spent weeks ex- the facts before action was taken.
 "Archbold's anger against Roose- welt is easily understood and his al lance with Penrose is natural. They both will say and do anything in their vain efforts to iniure Roosevelt.
 Inv if there was any tr1ifh in fhe accusations these men now make, why were they not made while Mir. Bliss the only man they mention, was alive? It is easy to. name a dead man but Bliss was alive in the prosecution of the Standard Oil cases.
 "The campaign had been planned before the fall of 1904 and had been generally discussed Garfield said The field work did not begin until the following spring"
