REPORT SHOWS
POOR FINANCING
S4O,OOO,OOO Loss Due to
CarGIGSSDGSS

Washington, d. c., Jan pa loss
of $4O,OOO,00O that the government
might have received in interest on
idle funds in the treasury since 1905
and a much greater loss on funds de-
posted without interest in national
banks will be described in a report
soon to be made to the house favoring
the adoption of the Cooke bill for a
compulsory deposit law
Figures will show, according ia
members of the house committee on
expenditures in the treasury depart
ment, that the government can earn
from 100000 to 100000 on its
idle cash. The proposed law would
compel banks to bid for deposits
would limit the amount any banh
might receive and compel all bank:
to pay interest on government de
posts.
The report of the committee is ex
/ pected to show that, under a 2 pei
cent. interest, the government coult
have earned nearly $15O,OOO,OO0 since
1886 on idle funds in the treasury anC
money deposited in national banks.

ALL QUIET AT MIDDENDORF.
Calm Reigns After Battle With Des.
perado.-His Wife Captured.

McBee, Sept. 29.-Everything is
quiet at Middendorf today, following
the bloody events of yesterday, when
J. NJ. King, magistrates constable,
vas killed by James Davis, a negro
desperado, who himself met death in
his burning house. The negros's wife,
who assisted him in the first skirmish
with the officers, and later fled, was
captured today by Rural Policeman
J. 7. Grant and is now in jail at
Chesterfield.
The inquests into the death of Mr..
King and of the negro were held to-
day.
After the first skirmish, in which
Davis shot Sheriff Douglass and
Deputy Abbott, the latter slightly, the
negro took refuge in his house. 1t
vas there that Mr.. King was shot by
the negro. while STOPPING down to
look under the house. Mr.. Kings body
was removed and the house fired.
The negro, badly wounded by the vol
leys of the posse which surrounded
him, crept under the house to escape
the storm of bullets which greeted
him as he rushed from the burning
building. There, too badly wounded
tc move, he perished.
All yesterday a posse searched for
Davis wife, who had aided him in
barricading his house and had then
escaped while the sheriff went for re-
Inducements. Today she was found
by Policeman Grant and taken to
Chesterfield, where she was lodged in
jail.
Davis was a desperate character
and his negro neighbors are glad that
he is out of the way. Several guns
and pistols were found in the house
and in the ruins after the fire.

If the election of Mr.. Whaley is to be
probed, it might not be bad idea
to ventilate the whole thing, as it
has been said that Mr.. Whaley's op-
ponent spent about as much as Mr..
Whaley, and it should be remembered
the Mayor Grace was campaign man
ager for Mr.. Hughes. The fact is
Grace is a ''piker." He was evidently

LEVER GIVES SMITH CREDDIT.
Says Senator Originated Features of
Cotton Futures Amendment.

Washington, September 30:-South
Carolina figured conspicuously in the
lively struggle in the House tonight
over the Clark cotton features amend
ment to the tariff bill, for which the
lower chamber substituted the Smith
Lever proposition.
The Democratic floor leader, Mr..
Underwood, made a statement de-
claring that the first he had ever
beard of the principles embodied in
the substitute was when Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, introduced
last year a bill of which they were
the feature. Mr.. Underwood announc-
ed that he would give all Of his time
IN the debate over the Smith-Lever
amendment to Representative A. +.
Lever.
The chairman Of the committee on
agriculture made a clear and strong
speech in behalf of the substitute and
took occasion to say that while the
measure just introduced by Mr.. I'm
derwood, and directly approved by
President Wilson, was drawn at his
(Mr. Lever's) suggestion, after con-
ferences with experts and consulta-
ton with the Secretary of Agricul-
ture and the Postmaster General,
bill embodying the fundamental prin
ciples of the House substitute for the
Clark amendment was introduced
last year in the Senate by "a man
who has given not one day or one
year, but twenty years to the study
of this subject, the junior Senator
from South Carolina, Senator Smith,
The South Carolina delegation
voted en- masse for the Smith-Lever
amendment. All were present, eX-
cept Mr.. Finly, who was paired. The
Republicans threw their strength al
most solidly on the side of the Clark
amendment, hoping to embarrass the
Democrats, and came near succeed
ing. 1t is the opinion of the shrewd
est observers that the day was saved
ky the authoritative announcement
that President Wilson was in favor
of the Smith-Lever amendment. Now
the whole cotton futures subject will
very likely go over to the next ses-
sion.

TRAPPER FOUND GOLD NINE
Ancient Spaniard in Dream Told
Him About 1t.

\ Glenn Falls. y. y. dispatch to
The New York Sun SAYS: "Jncle jim
Chase. a We'll known resident OF Fort
Ann. acting upon instructions recelv-
cd in a two-night vision. has discor-
cled on his iarm at Fort Ann & gold
and silver mine supposed 70 have
been abandoned go years ago and
large cave. in which gold and silver
bullion and coins were hidden there
q. that time.
Samples OF the gold ore sent to AL
bany for analysis nave shown that
they contain $3.50 in gold to the ion.
while the silver ore assays Al about
the same ratio The samples also con-
tain a large percentage Of nickel. Mr..
Chase, who owns the farm upon
which the mine and cave are located,
has filed a miners clai,0 With the Sec
retary of State.
Uncle Jim's statement rivals those
of fiction. Uncle jim. who is a veteran
OF the civil war, in which he served
as a sergeant, and is hunter, trap
per. crack shot and a mau Of his
word, tells the following tale:
An old Spaniard, one whose appear
ance was not altogether pleasing, ap-
peared to him in a vision on two sue
ceeding nights as he slept. The Span
lard told him to go to certain spot
on his farm back of Sly Pond. in the
vicinity of Three Ponds in that part
OF the town of Fort Ann known as
Michegann, and that he would find a
cave there in which the Spaniard had
mined and smelted and coined gold
and silver 250 years ago.
This stuff was left there and you
are the man we want to have it. said
the Spaniard, according to Mr.. Chase.
The mysterious man left that vicinity
250 years ago. when he built stone
wall across the cave, short distance
from it's mouth. Just back Of this wall
he told Chase would be found large
iron chest. containing gold and sill
yer coins and a large amount of bull
lion. both refined and crude, all
abandoned by the Spaniard two and
a half centuries ago.
Chase was considerably affected by
the vision, but decided to await its
repetition before he started out, and
sure enough the same Spaniard ap-
reared to him the following night.
Convinced that an effort to locate
the gold and silver would cost him
nothing more than little work, if he
should be disappointed, Chase started
out early the next morning. He went
to the place indicated by the Spaniard
and did some eXcavating. He then
covered up the entrance, had some
samples. which he brought away, as
sayed, and is now preparing to open
up his mine and reap the harvest
which has been bestowed upon him.
