FUNSTON REVEALS
 STARTLING CONDITION
Says Horses in Philippines Are Worn
 Out and Drivers Not Available.
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPATCH1


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Worn out cavalry horses and inefficient Fili- pino teamsters would prove a menace to the United States in the event of a campaign in China or the Philip pines, in the opinion of Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston, commanding the department of LuzOn, the Philippine division of the army. In discussing these questions in his annual report, General Funston says:
 The recent substitution of many United States teamsters by Ffllipinoes on the score of economy is from the the standpoint of efficiency a move most regrettable" He points out that even when the Filipino drivers have courage they lack self confidence, strength and skill so they will plunge down a bank into a stream, with fatalism characteristic of the race, trusting more to the mules to get them through in some way than to their own efforts to control them"
 The United States teamsters have been discharged, says Funston. and have left the islands, and in case of an insurrection or an invasion or the necessity of sending an expedition to China, they would not be available. This is believed to be one of the mOts serious questions affecting the eff ciency of the field service troops in the Philippine Islands
 Commenting on the fact that there are in service horses that were with the field batteries in the Santiago campaign foureen years ago. General Funston declares it is no eXaggera- tion to say that in two weeks cam paign of actual war, when little at tention is to be paid husbanding the strength of the animals. would put half our guns out of action and see salf Of our cavalrry marching on foot guarding the wagon trains

TAYLORS MAY
 FIGHT RETURN
Los Angeles Papers Say the
 A ount of Fictitious
 Checks Issued Amounts to Hundreds Instead of Sixty, as Taylor Claimed

F. M. z. Taylor and his young wife. whoi have been in the city jail since last Saturday night when they were arrested in response to a telegram from the authorities in Los Angeles, 10 answer felony charges, will prob ably know today whether they are to be taken back to Los Angeles or whether their attorney thinks it wise to attempt to fight extradion. It TOW develops, according O statements published as Los Angeles news items in the Los Angeles neWspa pers that the amount of the fictitious checks Taylor and his wife are alleged to have issued will mount up into the hundreds instead of being for no more than sixty dollars as was at first claimed by Taylor.
 A message received yesterday by Chief of Police Moore stated that an officer had started from Los Angeles for Sacramento to secure evtradition papers and it is expected that he will arrive here sometime today. The Taylors stated a day or two ago that they will not oppose extradition, but
 
 mind over night and yesterday thought there would be good grounds for fighting his return and that of his wife to Los Angeles.
 In the meantime he and his wife are spending the time quietly in the city jail. They have not been obliged to depend upon the regular jail meals, they having arranged to have their meals sent in to them from a restaurant Mrs. Taylor has been informed that an error was made in a telegram sent her recently stating that her mother had died on December. It was the mother of Taylor who passed away on that date and the telegram, for some reason or other, was sent to Mrs. Taylor who promptly went into mourning over the supposed death of her mother from whom she had been receiving letters right along.

"A PAGE FROM
 AN OLO BOOK
Sweet, Clean, Captivating Story of Simple Life in Scotland Entrances Phoe- nix Audience; Cast is We'll Balanced

Like a page from a long forgotten magazine, sweet as breath of rosemary "Bunty Pulls the Strings" came to the Elks last night. Sweet, clean captivating, this charming page of Scotch life was a rare treat. It is the story of a simple everyday Scotch family way back in the sixties. There is little or no plot to it. it is just little bit of life from far-away land and a forgotten day portrayed by as well balanced a cast as 1t has ever been our good fortune to see As Bunty, Miss Mcintyre was de- lightful. She played with a simplicity d winsomeness and charm that was captivating. No wonder she managed her family. There was no straining for effect, she never missed a point but played with a naturalness and sense of humor that carried all be- fore il. Probably no play of recent years has so many well known char acter bits in it. To see the church parade in the second act was a treat all by itself. As the hard old father, MT. Ramsay was excellent. MT Me Neil could not have been improved on as Rob. The old beadle, that whole some motherly Mrs. Dunlop, that sweet ingenue Teenie each was a creation
 MT Lennox, as Weelum, drew, per- haps, more laughs than any member of the cast, and he earned them, for he was splendid; but to our mind the gem of the whole performance was Aunty Susie of Miss Jean Bar nett; there was a creation, the make up was the work of an artist, for that matter the makeup of every character was unusually fine. this meddling old gossip was filled with the breath of life Her every action, every expression rang true. She ab- solutely dominated every scene in which she appeared.
 Bunty Is different from anything we know of The unaccustomed thick Scotch dialect was a bit difficult to fathom at the start perhaps, but tit soon became understandable and an added asset Don't ever say the | Scotch have no sense of humor. Bunty is filed with the most delight l ful humor imaginable. It is a long | time since any play as rich in epi- grams has appeared. The settings ! were charming and the atmosphere l was always retained. The amuse-
 ment- loving world owes Mir Moffat | a debt of gratitude.
