STATEMENT FROM
Mr.. S|STRUNk
DEFENDS MEMORY OF HIS BROTHER FROM IMPUTA1ONS
CAST UPON It BY AUDITING REPORT
Ocala, Fla, June %, 1914


Editor Star: In your issue of June
I'D, there appeared. under the head
OF Report of Auditing Company for
the Ocala City Council, certain state
ments which are calculated to do the
memory Of the late Carlos L. Sis
trunk grave injustice. His friends
and relatives cannot allow this base
~ inaccurate report, indicating that
he is defaulter in the sum of
$6.666.60. to go unchallenged and
unassailed.
That part of the report TO which
We take special exception is Exhibit
H, Schedule five, pertaining TO his
accounts, wherein the auditing COM
mittee gratuiously gave counsel and
advice to our city council as 10 how
to run the city's affairs, and display
grossly careless examination and
evince a determination to do his
memory wrong, by charging him
with amounts of certificates held by
the former city attorney as we'll as
for the amount Of all unpaid taxes
on real estate prepared by the tax
collector for subsequent years, in
Guiding those of his predecessor,
crediting him with cash only paid on
the same, giving him no credit for
certificates on hand and unsolicited
thereby showing large amount
due the city. / delivered to this
auditing company, certificates on
hand and unsolicited amounting to
S6,167.14, for which he should have
received credit; these certificates
which / delivered to this company
and which in all fairness and justice
should have been credited to his ac-
count (having been charged to him)
these same certificates were charged
to Mr.. Edwin Spencer, Jr., who sue
ceeded my brother as city attorney.
The failure on the part of this audit
ing company to make this credit was
basely unfair, arbitrary and unjust.
| am surprised, too, that the city
council having held this report since
February Is, 1914, and\ having
knowledge of the omission of this
credit, authorized and had published
this report in its erroneous condition
with no explanation whatever, SEEM
ingly, rather to choose this injustice
to he done. Any one with the least
sense imaginable would. know that
where there Is charge for the full
amount that the amounts paid in in
cash and the return of the certifi-

DUELSBY ARMY MEN
DEFENDED BY GERMAN
MINISTER Of WAR
Tells Parliament They Are "a
Necessity for the Military
Caste"

BERLIN. March 13-Duelling
among officers In tho German army
was strongly defended to-day by
Lieut.. Gen. Erich Won Falkenhayn,
Minister Of War, in replying to an
Interpolation regarding the fatal
duel at Metz on Feb. rs. when Lieut..
Haage was killed.
The Minister said the institution
OF duelling was a necessity for he
military caste. He made II clear
that his efforts to diminish duelling
In the army were directed not against
the duel but toward the restrict ton
OF the number OF cases In which an
encounter was regarded as impera-
tive. He said that he personally
would consider 1t n misfortune II the
conception of personal honor on
which the practice Of duelling was
based should be eradicated.
Gen. Won k'aIkenhayn admitted that
duelling was an offense under the
laws both Of God and of man and
was an evidence of physical rather
than OF moral courage. The penalty,
he said. wins liable to fall on tire
wronged man and the offender might
escape. An officer. nevertheless,
must be the defender of his own hon.

been only twelve duels in 1918 among
the 10000 active and reserve officers
In the German army. but this rate,
said the Minister. was still too high.
He declared that tho fatal duel at
Metz could have been avoided n
Lieut.. Haage had waited until the
court of honor had considered the
case. but tho officer had felt deeply
insulted and refused to do 80. with
the result that he was killed.

MOOSE FLAYs PRESIDENTS
"wATcHFUL WAITING" POLICY

In a speech In the House yesterday Rep
rcsentativc HulinEs. OF Pennsylvania.
Progressive. denounced President Will
sons policy Of "watchful waiting over
Mexico. He declared that the time had
come when the administration should act
in order that outrages in Mexico on
American citizens and the subjects of
other countries should be brought to an
end Mr.. Hulings criticised the Mexican
policy of the Taft administration as well
as that of President Wilson. He said IN
this connection:
After the present revolution had taken
serious aspect. President Taft advised
Americans to leave the country. Our mis-
take was made then. firm stand would
have prevented the present wretched sit
uation. A strong man like Theodore
Roosevelt would have settled the diff
Guilty and there would have been no war.
President Wilson followed in Taft's foot
steps and instead of taking firm. positive
steps. adopted what he called the watch
full waiting policy"
In conclusion, Mr.. Hulings said:
p believe It is our duty, without re-
spect to party lines. to stand shoulder to
ton. But I believe the time has come
when something should be done. Watch
full waiting has accomplished nothing.
Something else should be done. A diplo-
macy that has no other >plan than to
wait for something to turn up has been
tested to the limit. If Intervention is
the only other plan, then intervention
should come speedily"

C0LQUITT TELLS ANEY
OF MEXICAN 0UTRAGES

There will be a further hearing to-
morrow before the House Committee on
Foreign Relations on the resolution in
troduced by Representative w. ID. b.
Ainey. OF Pennsylvania. calling upon the
President for information regarding the
treatment in Mexico of citizens Of the
United States and of other countries.
with respect to their safety and the Sc
curty of their lives and property.
Yesterday Mr.. Ainey received from
Gov. o. b. CoIquitt. Of Texas, a letter
regarding the Mexican situation, in
which the governor says:
MANY OF the outrages committed in
Mexico and reported to me contain
information of a confidential nature.
the parties usually saying that II
their names are used II will mean
the complete destruction OF all they
possess.
"A gentleman in my office this
morning. who represents clients with
S1.OOo.OO0 investments in Mexico. when
! requested him to furnish me with
his statements. said that he could not
do so because II would mean the ruin
of his company and that their repre-
sentatives' lives would be in jeopardy.
For these reasons think that
Congress ought to compel the Presi-
dent to submit consular reports oi
outrages, so that the responsibility
for the information may come
through governmental sources.
"As an Illustration, a gentleman
who is now working as pound officer
for the city of Austin called at my
office and stated to me that he had
his property confscated in Mexico.
being depredated on both by the
Huerta and Carranza following, and
that his losses amounted to at least
$4,000 in goods. wares. cattle. horses,
and sheep; that he still had some
lands and other property there. and
therefore could not afford the use OF
his name. and asking that II be with

in my opinion. which demands a firm
and determined policy on the part
OF our national government 1ndivid-
uals ought not to he expected TO as
sumo the burden which the govern
ment ought to bear.
There are thousands or American
citizens who have gone to Mexico un-
der guarantee of protection. through
treaties between that government and
our own, who are now saying they
are sorry they did not swear al
Iegiance to Germany or England when
they went TO Mexico.
