Ppeelal Cable—Copyright.
Manila, Aug. 7.—As a result of the
Investigation of the army constructions
shops being conducted by Colonel
Wood, Inspector general of the division,
Major General Wood la rendering bills
for government articles to forty officers
of the army and civil government. In
cluding Major General Henry C. Cor
bin, General Wood’s predecessor
commander-ln-chlef.
Tens of thousands of dollars due the
government have been burled beneath
A mass of official red tape for more
than two years. Officials who are
concerned will be compelled to pay a
monthly sum from their wages which
will be held out by the auditor In the
case of civil employees and by the
paymasters of the army in case of
army officers.
It Is said that the Indebtedness of
General Corbin exceeds 15,000. The
money Is due for repairs to his resi
dence while he lived In Manila, and
the house Is not government property.
The house had extensive repairs by
carpenters and other artisans em
ployed by the government. These of
ficers owe sums running into the
thousands.
It Is said that after the government
has been reimbursed by the Indebted,
officers there will be court-martials In
the army and suspensions In the civil
circles. The discoveries being made
by Colonel Wood have created a furor
In local society and every day the
number of persons Involved In the
ordsl grows. It Is reported here
that the most sensational discoveries
are being suppressed.

Physician and Toledo Aeronaut Fly in Air
From New York City to Plymouth,
Mass., in Quick Time.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 7.—Dr. Julian P.
Thomas, formerly a physician of At
lanta, who, with Roy Knabenshue, as
cended In his balloon, Nirvana, from
the foot of East One Hundred nnd
Thlrty-'elprhfi * Ptret*t anil after send
ing all night In the air, -landed at
Brant Rock, near Boston, today relat
ed his experience:
Ascending from the gaa house, we
rose gradually Into a dense fog, and
within ten minutes of rising from the
ground had lost sight of land," he said.
••The night was intensely black: the
dark seemingly Impenetrable, There
wan not evgn the glimmer of the world
ly lights beneath, nor the twinkle of
the stars above. We could not even
see the great gas bag over us, and I
had to grope from the string that led
to the exhaust valve to be sure that It
was still there."
In telling of the landing at Brant
Rock, Dr. Thomas said:
"It was rather a tough one, the an
chor falling to catch properly and the
balloon In some,Inexplicable way sud
denly turning over and over ngnlr
Both of us were thrown out of the
basket, but we clung to the rigging
and there, wound up In the complex
network, wo rolled over and over
the hag. In the scrimmage I found the
emergency ci.rd, I pulled It fiercely
rent the balloon from top to bottom,
causing It to fall limply to the ground
Knabenshue cut his wrist and wai
slightly shaken up, but not seriously
hurt. I was uninjured.”
The trip made was one of tho long
est and most successful In the hlstiiry
of ballooning In this country. The 1
age covered 225 miles and was from
New York to Plymouth, Moss. Only
one stop was made during the voyage.
This was at NnanK. Cooil, where the
aeronauts breakfasted, after which
they ascended and continued the trip,
landing within 300 yards of tho open
waters of Massachusetts bay. The
start was msde at 1:40 o’clock Sunday
night by moonlight. Dr. Thomas made
a test of a water anchor which he hna
invented, and found It to work admlr<
ably.

“IT’S WORTH $10
TO HIT UMPIRE.’
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. I —It's worth Z10
any day to hit an umpire who made a
decision like hie."
So spoke William Krauss when ar
raigned before Magistrate Whitman In
the Harlem police court today on a
charge of assaulting Umpire Johnstone,
St the polo grounds yesterday.
Supervising Architect James Knox
Taylor, of the treasury department, was
closeted with the various officials of
the government at the postofllce build
ing all of TueMay morning, going over
with each the preliminary plans for
the new building which Uncle Sam ex
pects to erect In Atlanta In the near
future.
He was accompanied by Congress
man Leonidas F. Livingston, who
more than any other man has been in
strumental In getting the appropria
tion of a million dollars for Atlanta's
building.
congress was be
cause we only wanted enough to carry
the work over until congress meets
again In the winter, when an appro
priation for another year’s work will
be made," said Colonel Livingston.
•It will be several months probably
before the working plans are drawn.
S nd then It will be necessary to ask for
Ida which will take more tlipe. and
then the contract win have to he let,
so that It will probably be December
or January before actual work la com
menced,” was Mr. Knox's response to
a query as to when ground would be
broken.
. Room for 8ubtreasury.
“So far the only plana drawn are of
a tentative nature, and-If Mr. Living
ston gets through his subtreasury
measure, as be confidently expects to
work room of the postofllce.
there will be tQ.000 square feet and
the room will be covered with a sky
light, thus giving ample accommoda
tion and light for the poetofllce force.
"On the second floor will be located
all of the offices of the Internal reve
nue department, and the court rooms
will be on the third. The upper sto
ries will have the shape of three sides
room of the postofllce being left aa a
court. The fourth floor la the one
which will be held for emergencies.”
Mr. Taylor la a graduate of the class
of '79 of the Boston Tech and has been
connected with the InMqf depart-
ment for eleven years, nine of which
he has been In complete, charge of all
public building* constructed by the
government. He Is a pleasant-faced,
youngish looking man, with an ex
tremely cordial air to everyone.
"What will be done In reference to
constructing the building of Georgia
material?” Mr. Taylor was asked.
Prefers Georgia Marble,
"Well, that depends upon how much
they make It cost us.. We alweys pre
fer to use local material w'hervvor pos
sible, and I shall ask for bids In both
marble and granite, and If the prices
of the Georgia manufacturers are low
enough shall certainly be very glad to
build It of stone; otherwise the build
ing will be of brick, but In sny event
It will be absolutely fireproof."
