During the earlier part of the day the
imperialists attempted a sortie against
the attacking forces, with a view to re

shells into Lion Hill. , They succeeded
-in siTenoing the batteries there which,
it is suspi cted, wereof little value.
The Qbj act of4 the "seizure of Tiger

WONDERS OF
Departuieuts. Red Tape Causes
Waste. What . Commission
. Has Found..
Washington, Nov. 28th. Burdened
with years of moss laden tradition and
held fast in meshes of red tape, the U.
Sgovernmentli' following a wasteful
system of administration which in its
sum total dwarfs the extravagances of
all history, Gleaned from a thousand
leaks, the governmental waste express
ed in money re tehee a staggering sum.
It is known that the commission has
found a large percentage of wasted en
ergy and money in every department of
the government. Just what the gener
al average is has n t yet been Btruck,
but a comparatively small percentage
oT money waste on the enormous busi
ness conducted will reach staggering
figures in the aggregate. It takes more
than a billion dollars a year to run the
ordinary affairs of the government. In
addition about three billions more pa?s
in and out of the departments. The
commission has found that with every
movement of these tremendous amounts
there is waste, and that wasted efforts
involving waste of money has grown
up around every function of national
administration.
' Too many false motions in the con
duct of the government's business too
much use of the hands, and not enough
of lhj head together with the hamper
ing oi administrative reform by the te
nacious hold of archaic methods is said
to be at the root of the trouble. For
instance, the commission has discovered
that no fewer than eighteen intricate
and entirely different systems of book
keeping are in vogue in the treasury
department. This necessitates the
same work being done over and over
again at a great cost in time and labor.
It will recommend that this complex
mass bs simplified into one system. The
congressional "pork barrel" will come
in for the commisiiion's condemnation.
The greater part of the annual -distri
bution of about $G0, 000,000 in congress
ional district appropriations is declared
to be absolute w.iste, with further
waste occuring in the handling of each
dor I ion which the district gets.
Condition?, such as senator LaFollette
discusses in his autobiography will be
gone into ia the report. When the Wis
consin senator first went to Congress,
the government was renting postal ser
vice cars from the railroads for $500,
000 more annually thn it would coat
to build, equip aud keep the cars in re
pair. He declared that when he re
turned to the seriate seventeen years
later the same rental was still being
paid, and in spite of his effoi ts to get a
change, the matter is still left to be
threshed out in ths next Congress. The
same conflict of method and in many
cases duplication of woric that exists
with the treasury department has been
fourd throughout. The waste does not
exist in Washington only, but extends
wherever the government sails a ship
or has a task. In some places the waste
is comparatively trivial, and in others
the average is brought up by the exist
ence of costs that can be totally elimi
nated. In conjunction with ths plans
of secretary of the navy Meyer to plaee
his department on a better business
plane, the commission has worked out
an elaborate report, in which the exec
utive can find at a clance the needless
details of administration aid eliminate
thorn. The s m plan is to be applied
to other departments. .

Raleigh, N. C Nov. 28 -Deputy
United Statas Marshal J. B. Jordan

few days. He contracted his fatal
sickness on a record-breaking raid of

as deputy marshal for twelve years and
was twice desperately wounded, first in
New Light section by a bloekader, and
last, about six years ago, in an unfor
tunate mistake encounter between two
squads of revenue raiders, There were
two raiding parties out in a dangerous
section of Chatham county. They met
in the darkness and each thought the
other was a party of armed blcckaders
and exchanged shots, with the result
that Deputy Jordan was wounded in
such manner that his life was despaired
of for quite a while. It is thought that
his old wounds and permanent constitu
tional weakness due to the wountls
made him a victim to the deadly in
roads of the pneumonia, which he oth
erwise would have thrown off. He was
lifly years old and leaves a wife and
several children. The funeral will be
held Sunday.

Chief Rouse Shot By Negro. Three
'Possum Hnnteis Fired at in
The Darkness.
Last Saturday night at Dover Chief
W. G. Rouse of that place, hearing a
gun fire, following the report and found
a negro named Ben Matthews with a
gun in hin hands. Chief Rouse asked
the man why he bad fired. Matthewa
claimed it to be accidental. Turning
away the negro went several yards and
turning fired at Mr. Rouse. Several
shot struck him in the face but did him
no serioin injury, the negro escaped in
the darkness.
Last Monday night Messrs R. A,
Richardson, R. A. Rogers and Herman
West went, 'possum hunting and when
about three miles out from Dover two
shots in quick succession were fired at
the three men. In the darkners it was
impossible to tell who fired the shots.
The result of the shots were that Mr,
Richardson's face, breast and right
arm were filled with shot. Mr. Rogers
was slightly wounded in the forehead.
Mr, West was hit in the breast: the
shot failing to pierce through his cloth
ing, Mr. Richardson was severely but
not seriously hurt and is now confined
to his home at Dover receiving medical
treatment.
While nothing certain is known as to
who fired the shots or why they were
fired, it is though by many people in
Hover that Ben Matthews, who fired at
Chief Rouse Saturday night, and whore
home is in Sand Hill Township Lenoir
county, is the person who fired. The
supposition being that the negro think
ing the 'possum hunters were following
him shot at them.

To Pay Expenses Justice Depart
ment. Attorney General's
Eeport.
Washington, Nov. 29th. Attorneyv
General Wickeraham in his annual re
port which has been submitted to the
President, states that in the last fiscal
cat year hit department has been self
sustaining. The Attorney General also
states that during the year a little mora
than 4,000,000 in the nature of fines
was collected by his deparment, and
that this more than paid the expenses.
Last year the Department of Justice
collected $3,600,000 in fines. It was not
quite enough to balance the expenses
of different bureaus of the department.
The fines collected in both years were
from half a hundred different sources,
but the bulk of them came from timber
and public land cases and trust prosecu
tions. Attorney-General Wickersham
saya that hit report contains a state
ment showing just what had been ac
complished in the line of trust and oth
er prosecutions the department has
brought during the year.
On the three dissolution actions pend
ing, the Power Trust, the Plumbers'
Trust and the Harvester Trust, the
Attorney General says no definite de
cisions have been reached. He said he
could not say at this time, because hu
did not know whether all three of the
corporations named would dissolve with
out litigation. He siid the negotia
tions between the department and the
corporations looked to a dissolution
without any more court fighting were
on still. From other sources in the de
partment it was learned that the Pow
der Trust and Plumbers' Trust rases
probably would be concluded in a few
weeks; that the government and the
trust officials had about reached an
agreement.
There is considerable doubt, however.
about the government and Harvester
trust ever coming to terms. The gov
ernment will not recede from its decla
ration last summer when the officials
of the Harvester Trust first made over
tures for a voluntary disolution. It was
laid at the department that the rmrtrrtf--
tions are that the Harvester people
will not agree to the government's
scheme of dissolution, but will fight the
case in the courts. The government
has its bill in equity drawn up and rea
dy to file.
