WASHINGTON, April L—The publication today over the country of the introduction by Representative Murdock of Kansas of a bill to call upen the twenty-six states to repay the government $35,000,000 which wae dlstributed during Andrew Jackson's administration was followed Immediately with a flood of telegrams upon members, senators and newspaper correspondents for more light upon the subject. “T introduced that bill two years agn,” #ald Mr. Murdock late today, “and no one pald any attention to it. Since the special session began I received a letter asking what had become of my bill to have the money repald, ®o I reintroduced the bill. Pvidently the public mind is in a state now to consider the natfon's finances. I shall do everything in my power to prees the bill for passage, if not at the special ses- sion, then at the regular session." In 1836 there was a surplus in the federal treasury of $38,000,000, due largely to the sale of publio land in the central west Congress authorized the distribution of this money among the states, upon their promls- ing to repay it on demand of the secretary of the treasury. After $28,000000 had been aistributed, but before the fourth install- ment had been paid, congress passed an- other law postponing payment of the fin instaliment and incorporating as a *joker a proviso that the money distributed should be subject to the demand of congress in- stead of the secretary of the treasury. Tt ald that the matter of the repayment was called to Mr. Murdock's attention by the claim of Virginia a few years ago to the fourth installment. still undlstributed. “The twenty-six states received the three installments in proportion to their representation in congress.

KANSAS CITY, April 4—A. A.

It is claimed there are 50 Greeks in this vicinity who have been - legally brought to this country under con- tract.

BANDLE TURNS OVER GAIN OF ONE HUNDRED PER CENT Register of Deeds Mak: te County in Funds. & Increase Surplus An increase of over 100 per cent in the surplus funds turned over to the county by Register of Deeds Frank W. Bandle at the end of the first three months of 1%09, as compared with the same period last year, is shown by the last quarterly re- port from that office. As the result of the recording of 831 mere instruments during January, Febru- ary and March of the present year, than during those mogths in 1908, and only & | comparatively slight increase in the ex- | penditures of the office, the notable In- | crease in the surptus has been brought The amount tranaferred this time is whereas only $81388 was saved out of the three months' receipts last year. As proof that taxes and fees cannot be collected without the expenditure of money, Mr. Bandle submits the statement that $3,040.99 was spent for salaries and finci- dental - expenses last three momghs, and that §2,00.9 was pald out for the same perfod In 1908, With receipts of only $4,712.20 and $3.628, re- spectively, the expenses, therefore, cut down the surpluses to a minor part of the money taken In. That the year 1909 is starting auspiciously in the line of property transfers, {s shown by the fact that 3,186 instruments have already been recorded, as against 7% for the first quarter of 1908 Demonstrate Dose e B Can Survive a of Domestic Sclence Cooking. “Say! domestic students can cook, after &l was a prevalent remark among the male guests Saturday evening after a supper prepared and served by five junior sirls of the high school, who successfully demonstruteq that practical and most ap- preciable good was derived from a study of the cullnary art.

Along Street When et, trom No One Seems Where, Passen Through Her Arm. The city of South Omaha was quite as much exercised yesterday concerning the daylight saloon bill as was Omaha. Martin Jetter of the Jetter Brewing company was out early in the morning gettng up a monster telegram to be sent to Governor Shallenberger protesting against the law. He secured many names. The anti-saloon league was also active in securing support for the bill. The contention of the South Omaha sa- loon men is that the early morning hours are more valuable to them than the hours after 8 p. m. Tt Is true of most of the saloons on the streets, used by workmen In going to and from thelr work which is largely before 7 a. m. L. C. Gibmon, who was criticised con- siderably on account of his action in the previous legislature sald: "I would fke to see the program carried out. T consider the passage of the bill a plece of spite work and not an open fight. T told many men, before the last election, that the cry of ‘home rule’ would prove a delusion to them. Home rule meant to Omaha and Bouth Omaha a liberal policy and nothing else. T suspected, when the announscement was made that the leglslature was demo- cratic, that the metropolitan city would be made to suffer. To the demo-pop of the state Omaha most usually means & synonym for trusts and corporations. Any- thing which will be especlally distasteful to Omaha, i a sweet morsel on his tongue. 1 want the men I warned, to see that the kind of promise they recelved can never be relied upon." Woman Mysterfously Shot. Mrs. Kate Turay, Thirty-seventh and H streets, was shot through the left arm sterday afternoon by some unidentified party. The injury was a painful flesh wound and she recelved it as she was walking north on Thirty-third street, near L. She heard no report nor met anyone who might have fired the shot. It was apparently a stray bullet fired by some careless party. The shock of the wound nearly caused the woman to collapse. She was attended by Dr. John Koutsky and later the police were called. Cap- tain Turnquist took the woman home and made an investigation. but failed to discover anyone yesterday who might have fired the shot. Officer Falls to Hit Man. Officer Todd fired four shots at a man last evening at Twenty-fourth and H streets while the latter was running to escape arrest for attempting to pass a fraudulent check on the clerk at H Scheur's grocery store. The officer ar- rived in time to get the man almost in the act. He started with him to the station, but as soon as they reached the street the prisoner broke and ran east Todd followed, firing as he ran, but fafled to bring the man down. He chased the man to the brush in the di- rection of Bpring Lake park, but lost him. None of the shots struck the in- tended mark. Y. M. C. A. Notes.

Vice Admiral Cervera was retired from the active ifst of the Spanish navy on Dec- ember 14, last at his own request on ac- count of fafling health. Shortly after- wards he procesded to Puerto Real in the hope of improving his health, but during the last month, he was in a eritical condi- tion, being kept alive only by the use of oxygen and hypodermic injections. He suf- fered from an affection of tHe heart. Admiral Cervera was born Februray s, 189. He was graduated from the naval academy of Ban Fernandino and was com- missloned to forelgn mervice in 189. He served in Morocco, and in the Cuban re- bellion, 188878, and was recalied from Cuba to hold the office of minister of marine On the outbreak of the war with the Un- ited States he salled from the Cape Verde fslands with four crulsers and three tor- vedo boat destroyers on April 2, 1898, en- |tered the harbor of Santiago De Cuba, May 19, and lost his entire fleet off that port July 8, in an attempt to force his way through Admiral Sampson's blockading squadron, Popular at Portsmounth. PORTSMOUTH, N. H., April 4—News of | the death of Vice Admiral Cervera was | received with great regret In Portsmouth because of his bravery and courtesy. He and other Spanish prisoners of war arrived at Portsmouth on the steamer Yale and Harvard, formerly the St. Louls and St. Paul, In July 188. The admiral and his surviving officers came on the Harvard, July 16. After remaining a wesk they were sent to Annapolls where they were quart- ered until arrangements wers made to send them to Spain at the close of the war. The admiral returned to Portsmouth early in September and rejoined the satlors who had been held here. All the Spaniards, except fifteen, who died in camp and were buried on Beavey lsland, sailed for home on the steamer City of Rome on September 12, Admiral Cervera made many friends while in this country. On one occasion. when passing through Boston he was enthusi lcally cheered by crowds who assembled at the railroad stations, During his last visit to Portsmouth he was tendered a complimentary banquet by the bitizens. At the time of the sinking of the Merri- mac and the capture of Hobson and his men the admiral offered to exchange them. | This generous action was greatly appreci- ated by the.army and navy officers in Washington and it 1ald the foundation for Cervera’s popularity in America. After his return to Spain the admiral occaslonally wrote to his friends in this country. It is estimated that his autograph can be found in 500 Portsmouth homes. Tribute of Admiral Schley. WASHINGTON, April 4—Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, U. 8. N., retired, who participated in the capture of Admiral Cervera and his fleet outside Santiago harbor during the Spanish-American war provided one of the most thrilling chapters In modern naval history, tonight appeared deeply touched when told of the Spanish admiral's destl, and he took oceasion pay & warm tribute to the chivalrous con. duct and splendid charactér of Cervera when the latter was taken prisoner. “Well, 1 am sorry to hear that Cervera 1% dead, sald Admiral Schley. “He was a grand old man, a brave and gallant haval officer, and his death costs Spain one of its most herole naval figures. When he attemptad to sail out of harbor on that July 3 morning, Cervera undertook the only course left to him, and he acted as wisely as any other could have done under thome conditions. Tt was a case of measuring his strength with that of the enemy,-and he lost, losing all save his honor." to UNEXPECTEL DONAYIONS TO PAY OFF HOUSE OF HOPE DEB1 Promises of More Than Three Th d Dollars Made to Rev.
