THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, BOND TO PAY DEPOSITORS Bteckholders of German Bank of Murdock to Wind Up Affaira, POLITICIANS ARE HEADED FOR LINCOLN Fall Attend is Expected at the Meeting of the Republican State Committee Thursday Night. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 16.—(Special.)—Acting in Scoordance with a section of the Nebraska banking act, the State Board of Banking today approved the bond of the stock- holders of the defunct German bank of Murdock, under which the stockholders agree to pay all claims against the institu- tion within the next six months. By the terms of the agreement they are to be given possession of all of the paper and fecords of the bamk. They will wind up its affairs in their own way, but are llable for all deposits and bills outstanding. It ia understood that the stockholders will sppoint C. F. Cuthman, cashier of the Bank of Murdock, as trustee. The Ila- bilities of the defunct bank are approxi- mately $40,000. The paper of the bank is #ald to be good for its face value. Mr. Cuthman was one of the stockholders of the institution. Under this arrangement no recelver will be appointed. The bond 1s for $70,000. The German bank of Murdock was closed by order of the State Banking board two weoks ago, It having been learned that one of its officers had been guilty of a direct violation of the law. This violation was the lssuance of a certificate of de- posit for $3,000, without having it regis- tered In the bank, or the deposit credited. The law under which the stockholders are permitted to make the settlement s seldom made use of, only two or three bonds of this character having been ap- proved in the last five years. In the ea of the Omaha Savings bank, the stock- holders of which obligated themselves to pay oft all clalms against the institution, an extension of time was given, but In the other casks the settlements were sat istactorily made within the time specified.

Fortunately the; GENERAL SMITH IS RETIRED Action of President Roosevelt on the Ceurt- Martial Case. SECRETARY ROOT ISSUES A CIRCULAR Says that Although Smith Gave the Kill and Barn Order, it Waa Not Carried Out Save in One Instance. WASHINGTON, July 16.—Secretary Root brought from Oyster Bay the case of Gen- eral Jacob H. Smith, tried by court-martial at Manila on account of orders issued to Major Waller. General Smith was found guilty of the charges by the court and sentenced to be admonished by the reviewing authority. The president has so admonished General Smith and retired him under the law which provides that officers having reached the age of 62 years may be retired at will by the president. Becretary Root supplements the reprimand of President Roosevelt in a long ciroular, in which he explains the conditions which resulted in the court-martial of General Smith and shows that, aithough Smith ls- sued the “kill and burn" order, as a matter of fact very few persons were killed as a result of that order, the casualties being confined almost wholly to the eleven na- tives killed under Major Waller's direction. Approved by the President. Following is the text of the president's review of the case: WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON, July 16, 102.—By the President: The findings and sentence of the court are approved. 1 am well aware of the danger and great diffi- culty of the task our army has had in the Phiilppine islands, and of the well-nigh intolerable provocations it has received from the cruelty, treachery and total dls- regard of the rules and customs of civilized warfare on the part of its foes. I also heartily approve the employment of the sternest measures necéssary to put a stop to such atrocities and to bring this war to a close. It would be culpable to show weakness in dealing with such foes or to fall to use all legitimate and honorable methods to overcome them. But the very fact that warfare is of guch character as to afford infinite provocation for the commission of acts of «cFuelty by junfor officers and the enlisted men must make the officers in high and responsible positions pecullarly careful in their bearin and conduct, 80 as to keep a moral chec of an {mproper character by ally the borne themselves as to supply this necessary checl and with but few exceptions the officers and soldlers of the army have shown wonderful kind- ;\e and forbearance in dealing with thelr oes. But there have been wxceptions; there have been instances of the use of torture and of improper heartlessness in warfare on the part of the individuals or small detachments. Sullied the American Name. In the recent campaign ordered by Gen- eral Smith the shooting of the native bearers by the orders of Major Waller was an _act which sullled the American name and . can be but partly excused by Major Waller's mental condition at the time, this mental condition being due to the fearful hardship and suffering which he had undergone in his campaign, It is impossible to tell exactly how much in- fluence language like that used by General Smith may have had in preparing the minds of those under him for the com- mittal of the deeds which we regret, Loose and violent talk by an officer of high rank {s always likely to excite to wrongdoing those among his subordinaates whose wilis are weak or whose passions are strong. General Smith has behind him a lon, career distinguished for gallantry, and, on the whole, for good conduct. Taken in the full, his' work has been such as to reflect credit upon the American army and, therefore, upon the nation, and it is deeply to be regretted that he should have 50 acted in this Instance as to interfere with his further usefulness in the I hereby direct that he be relle the active Lst, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Review of Secretary Root. ‘The following is the review of Secretary Root: ‘ WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, July 12, '1902.~To the President: 1 trans- mit herewith the record and proceedlngs upon the trial of Brigadier General Jacod H. Smith by court-martial convened under Jour order dated April &L, iXe. and pow rought before you as reviewing author- ity. General Smith was found gutity of con- duct of the prejudice of good order snd military discipline, in that he gave in the fall of 101 to Major L. W. T. Waller of the marine corps, then serving with & battallon of marines, under his orders as commander of the sixth separate brigide in Samar the following oral instructions: “I want no prisoners. I wish you to Kill and burn; the more you kill and burn the better you will please me.” And fur- ther that he wanted all persons kilied who were capable of bearing arms and in actual hostllities ~against the Uniled States, and did in reply to & question b: Major Waller asking for an age limit d I{"Ile the age limit as 10 years of a 'he court sentenced him to be admon ished by the reviewing authority, and the court appended to the senteuce the following explanation: Strong Talk Not Meant. “The court {s thus lenient in view of the undisputed evidence that the accused did not mean everything that his unex- plained language implied, that his sub- ordinates did not gather such a meaning and that the orders were never executedi in such sense, notwithstanding that a d perate struggle was being conducted with a cruel and savage foe.’ . ination of the evidence h conviction was Ji d that the reasons stated for the very light sentence imposed are sustained by the facts. General Smith in his conversation with Major Waller was gullty of intem- perate, inconsiderate and violent expres- sions, ‘which, if accepted literally, would ossly violate the humane rules ‘govern- ng American armies in the fleld and if followed would have brousht everlasting Qisgrace on the military service of the were not taken literally nor followed. No women or children nor non-combatants were put to death in pursuance of them. No Bearing on Waller's Case. An examination of the record and pro- ceedings upon the trial of Major Waller, which immediately preceded that of Gen. eral Smith, shows that the instructions in question bore no relation to the acts for "which Major Waller was tried and wore not alleged by him as justification for those acts. Major Waller was tried for causing certain natives who had acted as bearers or guldes of one of his expedi- tions to be put to death for treachery without proper trial, and he defended his action not upon the'ground of any orders Tecelved from General Smith, but upon the ground that as commanding officer he was justified by the laws of war. General Smith's written and printed or- ders and the actual conduct of military operations in Samar were justified by the Rlstory ana conditions of the warfare with the cruel and treacherous savages who {nhabited the island and their entire dis- regard of the laws of war were wholly within the limitations of general order No. 100 of 1863 and were sustained by prece- Qents of the highest authority Previous Cases Bro Thus in 1778 Washington ordered Gen- eral Sullivan in the campaign against t six nations to seek and look to the d struction and devastation of thelr settl ments. He wrote: “But you will not by any means listen to overtures of peace before the total ruin of thelr settlements Is effected * * ¢ * * Our future security will be in their in- ability to injure us, the distance to which they “are driven and In the terror with Which the ueverity of the chstisement they ‘recelve will Inspire them.” The Fort Phil Kearney 1, for treachery, revoiting crusity and the conditions of serious danger which followed it, did not approach the massacre of Balangiga in Samar in September, 1901. There the natives had been treated with kindness and confidence, liberty and self- government had been given to them. Cap- 2 Connel, the American commander, was of the same faith and had been wor: shipiug In the same church with them. Soldiers Ruthlessly Slaughtered. With all the assurance of friendship our men were seated al thelr meal unarmed among an apparently peaceful and friendly community when they re set upon from behind and butchered and their bodies when found by their comrades the next day bad been mutilited and treated wilh indescribable indignities. Yet there was no such severity by American soldiers in mar e Geperal Sherman proposed massacre in against the Sioux after Fort Phil Kear- ney. It 18 due, however, to the good sense and self-restraint of General Smith's mub- ordinates and their regard for the laws of war rather than to his own self-con- trol and judgment that his Intemperate and unjustifiable verbal instructions were not followed and that he is relieved from the indelible stain which would have re- fuited " from s lberal compliance with om. 4 1t 8fe, and experience have brou high command, not to incite his subordi- nates to acts of lawless violence, but to 80 explain to them that the application cf the laws of war and the limiations upun thelr conduct as to prevent transgressions upon their, part and supplement their com- parative inexperience by his wise con- Smith's Retiremen In this General Smith has signally falled and for this he has been just convicted. though the sentence Imposed is exceed: ingly light, it carries with it a condemna- tion which for officer of his rank and age is really a severe punishment. ‘or_this reason and for the further rea. son that General Smith has served this country long and faithfully, has exhibited high courage and good conduct in_ many battles, has been seriously wounded in the civil and tn the war with Spain and is about concluding a long and Fuon- orable career as a faithful and loyal se, ant of his country, 1 recommend t mild sentence imposed be conirime Should you approve the fndiugs and sentence of the court In addition to ‘this recommendation I feel safe to say further that In view of the findings and sentence and of the evident Infirmities which have made It possible that the facts fund should exist, it is not longer for the good of service that he should continie in his rank. His usefulness is an example, guide and controlling interest for the junior of- ficers of the army is at an end, and as he s aiready upward of & years of age, I recommend that you exercise the discre. tion vested In you by law and now retire him from active service.

S the duty of a general officer, whote ht ‘him to TWENTY-FOURTH STREET TO BE REPAIRED | Mayor Koutsky Doubts that Ourfew Ordinance Can Be Enforced and for that Reason May Not Sign It. Last night the city council met in ad- | Journed session and allowed claims against the city amounting to about $25,000. The salaries of policemen, firemen, street de- partment employes, city officiale and others who have not recelved any money since February were allowed. Now the city em- ployes have been paid up In full to June 30. The judges and clerks employed at the election were remembered, each com- {1ng in for $6. It is expected that at the meeting to be held next Monday night a large number of clalms which have accumulated for sev- eral months will be passed upon. J. M. Toblas, who is reconstructing the Fourth ward firehall, asked to be al- lowed $600 on his contract, as he has the work about two-thirds completed. As the city has not secured a settlement with the insurance company there was some dis- cussion as to where the money was to come from, but it was finally decided to draw on the fire fund for the amount and replace the money so drawn when the in- surance is adjusted. The streets and alleys committee will take up the matter of taking care of the surface water and filling the big wash- out at Twenty-third and E streets at once. Adjourned until Monday, July 21. Holland Enters An uptown sheet made the assertion in its iseue of last evening that the Nebraska Telephone company had refused to handle fire alarms for the city since the mayor had declared the office of city electrician va- cant. In connection with this item Man- ager Holland has this to say: “The Nebraska Telephone company did not on the occaslon mentioned refuse to handle a fire alarm. For a number of years past this company has handled all alarms free, all that was needed was to inform the central office where the .fire was located and the alarms were turned in from this office. Since the office of city electriclan has been declared vacant and the batterles, etc., removed to fire hall No. 1, it has been found nécessary to have telephone alarms turned in direct. In case of fire those de- siring to use the telephone should imme- dlately ask central for No. 60, and the op- erator will plug in the number just the same as for any other call. It is true that 'phone No. 50 is not listed in the book; In since the ‘telephone company commenced the handling of alarms, it having been left out purposely to avoid annoyance at the fire hall.” Appraisers Make Report. Yesterday afternoon L. C. Gibson and Thomas J. O'Nell, recently appointed ap- praisers for a portion of Fifteenth street, made a report and filed it with the city clerk. It is desired to make a change in the grade of that portion of Fifteenth street which lles between O street and the east line of Linwood park. The report is quite lengthy, but the appraisers decided there would be no changes to any of the abutting property by reason of the change of grade. The report Is signed by only two of the ap- praisers, as J. H. Kopeits, the third mem- ber of the board, is out of the city and will not return for some time. ‘Wil Open Y Street.

Mr. Jetter is having the street filled and graded at his own expense and as soon as this work s completed, which will be in a couple of weeks, he will dedi- cate the same to the municipality. There has been a demand for the opening of this portion of Y street for some time and the councll has in the past been requested to take up this matter with Mr. Jetter. As the work Is progressing rapidly it will not be long before the street will be open to trafc. Making Improvements. Excavating for & big three-story brick barn at the Jetter brewery is mow going on.

P ) id Miss Pearl Bousch, writes: “When I was a baby I contracted catarrh, and was doc- tored by several good physiclans, but none did me any good. My mother was taking Peruna at the time and gave some of it to me, and I soon began to improve, and am now well and fat as s little plg. I am 13 years old. The doctors told mother I had the consumption, but it was only catarrh.’ ~—Miss Pearl Bousch, It is no longer a question as to whether Peruna can be relied on to cure all such cases. During the many years in which Peruna has been put to the test in all forms and etages of acute and chronic catarrh no one year has put this remedy to greater test than the past year. Peruna is the acknowledged catarrh rem-~ edy of the age. Dr. Hartman, the com- pounder of Peruna, has written a book on the phases of catarrh pecullar to women, entitled, “Health and Beauty.” It will be sent free to any address by The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.
