GOVERNMENT PAYS
FOR HOME REPAIRS
Many Thousands of Dollars
Due Unde Sam Buried
Under Red Tape.
Special rab|p—Copyright.
Manila. Aug. 7.—Aa a result of the
Investigation of the army constructions
shops being conducted by Colonel
Wood, Inspector general of the division,
Major General Wood Is rendering bills
for government articles to forty officers
of the army and civil government, lm
eluding Major General Henry C. Cor
bin, General Wood’s predecessor
commander-in-chief.
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
ease 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 *6,000. The
money Is due for repairs to hts 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. Ths discoveries being made
by Colonel Wood have created a furor
In local society and every day the
number of persons Involved In the
scandal grows. It Is reported here
that the most sensational discoveries
are being euppreseed.

Chance, Knowles, Brush and Murphy.
When 4:16 o'clock came the angry
mob cried for action; everybody was
disgusted over the barring of John

would' have bothered him and It seem
ed that a mountain had been made out
of a molehill.
Frank Chance eald hie club abeo-
lutely refused to play unless the regu
lar umpires were admitted.
At 4:16 p.m. Chance elgnalled his
men to come In and bring the gloves,
Which they did.
At 4:26 p.m., after President Murphy
had consulted with Chance, the Chi

New York, Aug. 7.—Dr. Julian P.
Thomas, formerly a physician of At
lanta, who, with Roy Knabenehue, na-
cended In his balloon, Nirvana, from
the foot of East One Hundred nnd
Thirty-eighth street, and after spend
ing all night in the air, landed at
Brant Rock, near Boston, today relat
ed his experience:
'Ascending from the gas 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 ntght was Intensely black; the
dark seemingly Impenetrable. There
was not even the glimmer of the world-
tv lights beneath, nor the twinkle of
the stars ab&ve. 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. Thornes 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 again.
Both of us were thrown out of tha
basket, but we .clung to the rigging
and there, wound up In the complex
network, wo rolled over nnd over with
the tmg. In the scrimmage I found thn
emergency cord, I pulled. It fleAtely and
rent the balloon from top to bottom,
causing tt to fatl limply to the ground.
Knnhonshue cut his wrist and was
slightly shaken up, but not seriously
hurt. I was uninjured.”
The trip made was one of the long
est and most •successful In the history
of ballooning In this country. The voy
age covered 226 miles and was from
New York to Plymouth, Mass. Only
one stop was made during the voyage.
This was at Noank, Conn., where tho
aeronauts breakfasted, after which
they ascended and continued the trip,
landing within 200 yards of the open
waters of Massachusstts bay. The
start was made at »:40 o'clock Sunday
night by moonlight. Dr. Thomas made
a test of a water anchor which ho has
Invented, and found It to work admir
ably.
ROOM FOR SUBTREASURY
IN NEW U. S. BUILDING
ProvisidnWill Be Made
For Future Needs of
Government.
ARCHITECT FAVORS
GEORGLl MARBLE
Knox Taylor Talks Inter
estingly Concerning Plans
for Structure.
Supervising Architect James Knox
Taylor, of'the treasury department, was
closeted with the various officials of
the government at the postofflee build
ing all of Tuesday morning, going over
with each the preliminary plana for
the new building which Uncle Sam ex
pects to erect in Atlanta In the near
future.
He waa 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.
"The reason we got only *200,*00 at
khe laat session of 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,
and then It will be necessary to ask for
bids, which will take more time, and
then the contract will hare to be let.
so that It will probably be December
or January before actual work Is com
menced," was Mr. Knox's response to
a query as to when ground would be
broken.
Room for 8ubtrsasury.
“Bo far the only plans drawn are of
a tentative nature, and If Mr. Living
ston gets through his sobtreasury
ure. as he confidently expects to
do, we shall have no trouble In pro
viding quarters for that. The fact Is
that, as the building Is now planned,
we shall have one entire floor for which
there will be no present use, but which
will be there for growth of any de
partment which finds that It cannot be
accommodated In the quarters allot
ted It." said Mr. Taylor.
"The building wilt be of the classical
type, and will have a colonnade along
almoat the entire Forsyth street front.
The lot on which the building Is to be
erected Is 200 feet square and the plana
aa drawn call for the building to be
l»0xl*0, so that you can see we are
wasting no space. The main entrance,
with steps leading Into the general de
livery lobby, will be on Forsyth street
with' other entrances on Poplar and
Walton strtsta. The public lobby will
run clear around these three eldee, and
back of them will be .the great square
work room fit the postofflee. Here
there will be 20,000 square feet and
the-room will be covered with a sky
light. thus giving ample accommoda
tion and light for the postofflee 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 wilt have the shape of three sides
of a rectangle, the space over the work
room of the postofflee being left as a
court. The fourth floor la the one
which will be held for emergencies."
Mr. Taylor Is a graduate or the class
of '7* of the Boston Tsch and has been
connected with the treasury depart-
ment for eleven years, nine of which
he has been in complete charge of all
public buildings 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 Ur
constructing the building of Georgia
material r Mr. Taylor was asked.
Prefers Georgia Marble,
"Well, that depends upon how much
they make It cost us. We always pre
fer to use local material wherever 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 or stone; otherwise the build
ing will be of brick, but In any event
It will be abeotutely fireproof."
It Is a fact not generally known that
Uncle Bam does not Insure anything
that he owns, and the laws of the
United Btatee say that every public
building shall be placed at least forty
feet from the nearest building line,
thus giving good fire protection.

After attacking Ettjah Jones, a no*™,
and beating him with a shovel Mon
day afternoon near the Peters street
vnlduct, Will Dallas, another negro,
desperately fought Policeman J. II.
Wilson and several citizens, the com
bined effort of eight men being t es
quired to handcufT him.
The negro resisted and fought the
officer along Patera street for .t dl«-
tance of two blocks, tho affair ere.
itlng a scene of Intense excitement and
attracting a largo crowd of people.
Officer Wilson had to use his club vig
orously to protect himself and .subdue
the unruly prisaEOftr*
A big crowd of negroes quickly gath
ered on the scene and It looked for a
time as though there might be more
serious trouble. Some of the negr*>«'t
collected in groups and muttered
threats against the .officer could bo
plainly heard.
It seemed that these ntgroe** were
bent on giving trouble, but the api*w-
nnce of a number of armed whits m* n
on the scene probably prevented nn up
rising.
Although Dallas fought viciously nnd
did his best to free himself, OflU «*r
Wilson bravely held onto him. nml,
with the assistance of several dtl/.'-n*,
finally landed him In the patrol wagon
at Peters nnd Fair streets. The negro
resisted all the way from the point «f
hla arrest to the wagon.
Special Officer Dwyer, of the South
ern railway, was near by, nnd hurried
to the assistance of the policeman V
number of other white men from the
Southern freight depot took pnrt and
soon had the situation well In hand.
**I haven't killed anybody yet. but I
will, alj right."
Dallas Is regarded as a desperate
character. It has been reported to the
tHiIlce that the negro some time ago
killed a deputy shorlff In Alabama nnd
made his escape. He l« nl*o said to
have served n term of five years In tho
penitentiary. Tho police
