CONF|sCATED GOLD TO
Be HELD BY THE U. S.
Attorney Flynn Declares No Action
Can Be Taken Against Villa
Agents Who Brought It Here.

The seventy-five thousand dollars
worth Of bullion consficated at Tue
son Wednesday by Deputy L. S. Mar
shall Forbes. will be sued in the
federal court, and taken over ~ the
United States, according to II. S.
Attorney Tom Flynn. yesterday.
The bullion was brought into this
country by two young MeXicans,
agents for Francisco Villa. Their
purpose in not declaring it at the
border was to avoid its capture by
the members Of opposing factions,
and in eluding the Carranzistas and
others, they managed 10 fall into the
hands of the United states officials.
Nothing can be done with the i'm
porters Of the gold. as there is no
penalty for not declaring bullion.
But Uncle sam is richer by just the
amount Of the prize minus the costs
of bringing the case into court.

ed portion of the bridge, and dash
down a grade to the uncompleted end.

train was running. Ripley applied the
emergency brakes and brought his en-

GUARD AGAINST FIRE
IN PATENT OFFICE
Contract Signed for the In
staaati0n of Automatic
Sprinkler System.
Method for Protection of VAL
liable Records, Loss of Which
Would Cause Litigation.

With a view to giving every protection
possible to the valuable records stored in
the patent Office in wooden file cases, with
only narrow aisles between. a contract to-
day was signed by the Interior Depart
ment officials for the construction of an
automatic -sprinkling system at
points where the danger from fire would
be greatest.
For some years efforts have been made
to have Congress appropriate for build
ing for the patent office. where the rec
ords could be given good protection from
fire. However. that body has ignored
the request. although officials of the Of
fee pointed out that the destruction of
the patent office records would mean the
beginning of endless litigation, because
the only proofs of patent cases are con-
tanned in these files.
Precautions Taken.
The strictest precautions have been
taken by the patent office officials and en-
ployes to prevent fire in the patent office
files. and some time ago Secretary Lane
denied admission to the building to a
young man who struck a match on one
of the file cases. 1t has always been
necessary to keep a double force of
watchmen in the vicinity of the office
files that any fire might be caught in
it's incipiency.
1t is believed that the introduction of
the sprinkler system will greatly decrease
the danger of great destruction from fire,
although efforts will be continued to have
Congress appropriate for another building
The sprinkler has been approved over the
chemical system. which some time ago
the department proposed to establish. At
that time plans were drawn for the install
lation of two large tanks for chemicals in
different parts of the building, with hose
lines leading to the files. This. however,
was given up for the automatic water
system.

New Policy in Treatment of Soldiers
Indicated by War Depart
ment Orders.

Orders just issued by the War De-
partment indicate a new and more lib
eral policy in the treatment of mill
tary offenders. 1t is provided that re-
viewing authorities in approving SEN
tences of general court-martial may,
whenever the character of the offense
for which the sentence is imposed and
the facts developed by the evidence in
dicate that there is a probability of
reclaiming the soldier to honorable
service. suspend, until the soldiers re-
lease from confinement, the execution
of that part of the sentence providing
for dishonorable discharge. Should it
subsequently develop that the soldiers
retention in the service is not warranted,
the authority having general court
martial jurisdiction over the command
in which the soldier Is held will va
cate the order directing suspension
of that part of the sentence providing
for dishonorab1e discharge and direct
that dishonorable discharge immediate
ly issue.
Chance to Reclaim Themselves.
The object in seeking the legislation
on which the policy is based was to
further the plan of giving soldiers con-
opportunity to reclaim themselves and
gain restoration to the colors through
service in disciplinary companies. Re-
viewing authorities are instructed to
aid in the accomplishment of this OBJ
ject by discriminating action In passing
upon sentences. 1t is declared that
.embers of a court-martial may prop
erly recommend, in communication
made separately but forwarded to the
reviewing authority with the record,
that sentence of dishonorable discharge
be suspended.
A soldier who has been sentenced to
dishonorable discharge and in whose
case the execution of the dishonorable
discharge has been suspended Will CON
tinue to be carried on the rolls of his
organization. Soldiers SO carried Will
be in addition to the authorized
strength.

UPPER-rRUcK COMPANY NO. 4
URGES SENATE TO ACT
ON PENSION FOR CLERK
Senator Jones Would Retire Thomas
Harrison, in Government Service
Sixty-Six Years.

A plea to the Senate to act upon his bill
giving Thomas Harrison, eighty-seven
years old, clerk at the United States
naval observatory here for sixty-siX
years, a pension of 500 month, and to
retire him, was made in the Senate yes
terday by Senator Jones of Washington.
NO better case could be cited" said
Senator Jones, ITO show that we ought
to do something for the old and faithful
employees of the civil government
Senator Jones said that he knew there
was a prejudice against establishing a
civil pension list, but that he believed
Congress could we'll afford to act in the
case of Mr.. Harrison. He presented a
petition to the Senate urging legislation
to aid the clerk, whose record has been
excellent for SO many years.
Supports Horses; Why Not MenP
The petition recited the fact that the
government has pensioned and is support
ing number of old horses. many of them
having grown old in the military service.
IF the government can support and
pension old horses" said the petition,
surely it can pension a man who has
been In its service for more than half a
Senator Jones pointed out that if Mr..
Harrison was forced to retire without a
pension. he would have no means of sup
porting himself. Mr.. Harrison, he said,
had a number of persons dependent upon
him, whom he had been caring for many
years. The very fact that he had sup
ported these persons dependent upon
him had prevented his laying by money
for his old age.
Sought Demotion in Service.
of Columbia January 10, 1898. When he
was eight years old his family moved to
Ohio, but returned to Washington in 1898,
and Mr. Harrison soon went into the
naval observatory as clerk About
three years ago Mr.. Harrison. feeling
that he was growing old. actually applied
to the Secretary of the Navy for de-
motion feeling that it would be better
for himself not to have the burden of the
heavier work upon him. The demotion
was only granted after repeated efforts
and Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Winthrop wrote him a letter saying that
it was with reluctance that he agreed TO
the request after Mr.. HarriSon'S many
years of excellent service.
Senat tor Jones was successful in putting
a bill for the retiremeit of Mr.. Harri-
son through the Senate in the last Con-
gress, but so far no report has been
made from the naval affairs committee
on the bill he introduced during the pres
ent Congress.

Cummins to Defend Bill.

Tuesday in defense of the constitution
ality of section 5 Of the bill. the sec
tion which empowers the trade COM
mission to determine what is unfair
competition" and to order such compe-
tition to stop.
Senator Borah of Idaho today continued
the attack on this feature of the bill
which he began yesterday afternoon. He
told the Senate yesterday that apparently
Congress was venturing upon a new sea
of legislation on which nothing but un-
certainty was in sight.
Would Define 'Unfairness."
You have enacted a law. the Sherman

that they must not compete unfairly, bu,
