Ehe was placed on the stand and calmly Bald that her allegations in the seven indictments were untrue, and that the young men old not ssault her; furthermore, that her ape is eighteen, instead of fourteen. The girl has repeated the story of the assault several times to orllcers. and once as testimony at the preliminary trial, and the statements coincide so well that the people be.Ieve she was assaulted, but has In some manner been intimidated to swear Otherwise to save her assailant. Immediately after srhe. had made the Statement Judge Lelller ordered her remanded to jail, wliero she has been held as a witness, and that she be prosecuted for perjury. Wh?n told that this would be the case, she said she did not care, for the would rather spend her whole life in prison than send those boys to the penitentiary.

One of the largest audiences of the season filled the Auditorium to hear Frank R. Roberson give a lecture on China, accompanied by over 150 colored stereoptlcon views. The lecture was one of the most entertaining of the season, especially in view of the prominence of China irv the current history of the world. Dana C. Johnson, of Springfield, O., delivered a lecture this afternoon on "Joan of Arc." Dr. W. G. Moorehead delivered the usual devotional lecture this morning. Sunday newspapers have been tabooed by the Winona management and their sale on the grounds is absolutely prohibited. That is, the sale is supposed to be absolutely prohibited, but one or two enterprising newsboys from Warsaw have succeeded in smuggling in various Sunday morning journals which the cottagers and guests at the hotels were only too eager to buy. The smugglers have been detected by Dr. Dickey, however, and the latter declares that he will put an end to the illegal but lucrative trade of the newsboys. As Dr. Dickey is dictator of all matters concerning Winona the summer visitors probably will be compelled to live in ignorance of the doings of the outside world for one day in the week. The W. C. T. L. meeting, which has been in session here for the past three; day, closed to-day. The closing session was held this morning in the Auditorium. The devotional exercises were led by Mrs. S. W.

He is negotiating for a machine for as eany delivery as possible. A new feature of the machine is the pulverizer, reducing the ore to l.OoO mesh, as fine as flour, a condition impossible in former processes, because much of the value would be lost Irretrievably in the tailings, owing to the current carrying away the precious metal as iloat or flour gold. XO HOPE OF RESPITE. Murderer of Prof. Hoy XV. White Will Hnnc on Tnendny. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PHILADELPHIA. July 12.-Charles Perry and . Henry Ivory, the two negroes convicted of murdering Prof. Roy Wilson White, of the University of Pennsylvania, formerly of Richmond, Ind., will be hanged in Moyamensing Prison next Tuesday unless the State Board of Pardons should grant a reprieve. This is very unlikely at this time, as the board sat at Harrisburg cn Monday and has not yet notified Sheriff Hartman of any change of .sentence, although the sheriff sent a special request that he be notified immediately if any action was taken. The case of Amos Stirling, also implicated with Perry and Ivory in the murder of Professor White, is now under appeal, although he also was convicted by the lower court. No date has been set for his execution. Preparations for the execution began several days ago, when Perry and Ivory were notified that they could receive members of the ministry for spiritual consolation. Neither has seemed much worried over the prospect of ending his life on the gallows. Both eat and sleep well, and when they speak of their approaching fate It is with an air of marked indifference. The scaffold on which they are to be hanged is ready to be put together at a few minutes' notice. The murder of Professor White, for which the two men are to pay the extreme penalty of the law. occurred late on the night of May 17, lfK). He was struck down from behind, the instrument used being a railroad coupling pin. He was then beaten to death and robbed. Tho 'arrest of the murderers followed with little delay. WAR AG A IX.

Fpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. July 12. Representative Cannon, of Illinois, chairman of the House committee on appropriations, expressed the opinion to-day' that differences among Republicans about tariff reduction were likely to bo the subject of consideration by a party caucus early next winter. There is a growing feeling among Republicans that Representative Babcock's proposition to put on the . free list articles manufactured or produced by trusts will have to be decided In caucus if party harmony is to be maintained. The high-tariff people of the East, led by General Appraiser Wakeman's Protection League, are fighting Babcock openly, and the re-election' of Speaker Henderson covertly. In the hepe of smothering tariff discussion and preventing tariff reductions. The Republican sentiment in fafor of tariff reduction, especially where trusts are concerned, is chiefly in the West, and the representatives from that section declare that whether there is tariff reduction or not, the discussion of the subject shall not be stifled. It is the knowleuge of this feeling that leads Mr. Cannon to suggest the caucu3 method of composing dilterences and producing harmony. End of n 1'aiuoun Old Ship. WASHINGTON, July 12.

History records that the stability of a nation depends on the virtue and intelligence of the individuals composing the nation. To provide for the universal education of youth is the duty of every State in the Union. All the residents of the territory under the direct control of the general government, including Indian Territory, Alaska and our new possessions, must receive the lnefits of free education at the hands of the government. We note with satisfaction the steps that have been taken by the present administration to place the blessings of American free schools within the reach of the children of all the peoples under our Hag. "Second The Bureau of Education, under the direction of William T. Harris, commissioner of education, has rendered invaluable service to the cause of education throughout the United States. It is the judgment of this association that the powers of this bureau should b greatly enlarged, and that the general direction of public education In all the territory of the United States not under State control. Including our new possessions, should be part of the duties of the bureau. In no other way can the general government so quickly, economically, intelligently and safely carry the benefits of popular education to the peoples for whose education it is immediately responsible. "Third We reiterate the statement that the public school should be the center of the educational life of the community in which it is located. Especially should this be true in rural districts. Here should be found the public library for the use of all; here the educational extension courses should draw the old and young: here may literary and social meetings le held which will tend to uplift the menta!. social and spiritual life of the people. Freed from tho 'ravenous influence of partisan politics, untouched by the narrowness ot rigid sectarianism, the public school should become the real center of the broader intellectual life, the educator of men and women beyond the school age. as well as the guide of childhood and youth. "Fourth The subjects that may properly be taught in elementary schools include those that bear upon the ethical, physical and aesthetic nature of tho child, as well as its purely intellectual nature. Sober, industrious, intelligent, honest, cultured citizenship should be the result of public school training in the United States. "Fifth Our system of education will not be wholly free until every grade of school from the kindergarten to and including the university shall be open to every boy and girl of our country. "Sixth The liberality of men of wealth In making large donations to Institutions of learning is to be strongly commended and encouraged. At the same time it should be borne in mind that popular education rests upon the people and should look to them for its cheif support and control. The relation between state and local support should b? so adjusted that communities will maintain a deep and abiding interest in their schools. "Seventh The public school system of a State should be a unite from the kindergarten to and Including the universities, and all private institutions should endeavor to work In harmony with the ideals of public education so far as their special purpose will permit them. In order that puolic and private Institutions of learning may more fully co-operate In the general work of education, the relation between these institutions should be more clearly defined than It is at the present time. "Eighth Legislation with respect to public education must not wait for public sentiment; it should lead public sentiment when necessary. Experience teaches that what people are compelled by law to do with respect to schools they readily learn to do without compulsion, but that they usually are slow to do reforms which involve increased taxation. School legislation should therefore be under the general direction of educational experts. "Ninth The Nation.il Educational Association recognizes the principle that the child has the same right to be protected by law from Ignorance as from abuse, neglect and hunger; and it therefore records with approval that many of the leading States of the Union have compulsory education laws upon their Ftitute books. "Tenth While many cities have at least partly solved the problem of school supervision, in most rural communities the problem Is almost wholly unsolved. Close, constant, expert supervision of schools in both city ar.d country is imperatively demanded, not only on account of the large financial interests Involvtd. but also on account of the supreme Importance of the teachers' work ar.d the lack of well-rounded preparation on the part of many teachers. "Eleventh The National Educational Association watches with deep interest the solution of the problem of consolidating rural schools and transporting pupil at public expense, now attempted in many of our leading States. We believe that this movement will lead to the establishment of township nnd county high schools, and thus bring more advanced education to rural communities. We also believe that supplementary state support of rural h:?Ii schools is in the highest interest of the entire State. "Twelfth The State should support and control Institutions whose object is the preparation of teachers for the public sehools. Normal schools free to persons preparing to teach are an absolute necessity n a perfected system of education. "Thirteenth No one should be placed in charge of a school who has not been previously trained for the work of teaching. The plan of issuing teachers' certificates of low rade year after year Is at best n makeshift and should be discontinued whenever the State is sufficiently advanced in education to warrant its discontinuance. There fhoulU be a limit to the length of tlrre a person can serve as an apprentice in the vocation of teacher. "Fourteenth We bebeve that the standard? for school architecture. Including the proper seatinc. heating, lighting, ventilation and ornamentation of sehe-ol bulldinr. should be as deilnlte as the standards ICr teaching. The law should fix the dimensions and all othr requirements of school buildings as well as the size and character of school grounds."

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) as president, called the board together, and the board at ence Instructed Attorney Hardy to prepare a statement of facts fcr the grand jury and to bring civil action against Hinsey." Supreme Representative Watson, of Indiana, secured the passagre of a resolution instructing the supreme chancellor to have charges preferred against Hinsey in his subordinate lodge in Chicago, to the end that he may be expelled. WILL BE PROSECUTED. "So it will be seen," added Mr. Hunt, "that Hinsey will be prosecuted In the Criminal Court, a civil action will be brought against him and a prosecution will be Instituted against him under the laws of the lodge. It was necessary to take drastic measures, and they were taken." Since the session Just ended at Chicago was a session of the Supreme Lodge it was necessary to elect a successor to Mr. Neal as president of the board of control of the Endowment Rank, he being only an appointee. The Supreme Lodge, said Mr. Hunt, was so well satisfied with Mr. Ncal's work that he was elected to succeed himself without a dissenting vote. "Too much cannot be said in praise of Charles F. S. Ntal." declared Mr. Hunt. "At Chicago he was regarded as the hero of the occasion and was looked on as the Moses of the Endowment Rank, because his efforts brought to light the rottenness that exists and led to the purification." The Supreme representatives from Indiana were D. R. Shideler and Union R. Hunt, of Indianapolis; James E. Watson. Rushville; Charles E. Shiveley. Richmond, and A. C. Hawkins. Evansville. Major General Carnahan, by virtue of his position as major general of the Uniform Rank, K. of P., had a vote, and he and the Indiana delegation stood solidly by Mr. Neal. Mr. Hunt said the proposition to assess the membership of the order to make up the deficit in the Endowment Rank was voted down. The deficit will be made up by increasing the rates of insurance in the Endowment Rank. Mr. Hunt thinks that, notwithstanding the fact. that the Endowment Rank v.iil suffer a loss of membership from this Increase of rates, when the members come to understand that the rank is now under an honest management they will stanel by it and the rank will be on a firmer foundation than ever before. MAY MOVE TO THIS CITY. "The Associated Press sent a dispatch to Indianapolis saying that I said the Endowment Rank would not be moved to lndfanapoiis, and an afternoon paper in this city has said that I declared positively it would be." said Mr. Hunt. "Roth of these statements are incorrect. The truth is that, before adjournment in Chicago Thursday evening, the Supreme Lodge unanimously adopted a resolution authorizing and instructing the board of control to investigate the advisability of moving the headquarters of the Endowment Rank from Chicago to Indianapolis. If the proper banking facilities and suitable headquarters can Tc found in Indianapolis it 1 my best judgment that the rank will be moved to this city within the next six months. Of cours-?, this is only a matter of opinion, but I know that Mr. Neal is exceedingly anxious to come here if proper arrangements can be made." IXCREASHIl RATE TADLE. Horr the Endowment Rnnk Will Mnko Up the DeSclt. The officials of the Endowment Rank Increased the per capita tax of the members of that rank to make up the deficit. This action was not ratified without much actuarial work. The plan first presented to the members was a special assessment on every one of the 510.000 members of 50 cents, which would wipe out the deficit at once, but this proposition was voted down after much argument. Some claimed that it was unfair to tax the whole membership of the order for the shortcomings of a small faction. The scale adopted Is one Indorsed by the national fraternal congress last year for fraternal insurance organizations. It is based on rates In vogue by the best of the life insurance companies. This latter plan was adopted by but four dissenting votes out of the 122 members present. Two Important amendments to the original motion to adopt the new scale were agreed to. One was that all matters relating to the investment of the Endowment Rank funds should be passed on by at least five members of the board of control sitting as a commlttt-e. and their consent must be unanimous; and the either amendment is that a boird of control consisting of seven members shall have the power to Invalidate any certificate issued for death benefit which upon investigation is found to have hem obtained by false representation or fraud. This latter amendment was deemed wise, as it was found that the Endowment Rank contained membeis who ebtained btu Ul certificates by false swearing as to age. physical condition anil family heritage of disease. In view of the pall thrown over the financial condition of the order by the action of former President Hinsey a resolution was passed in which protection was pledged to all legal holders of benefit certificates.

GEN. FUNSTON'S REPORT OFFICIAL AtTOlST OK TIIC CAPTinB OF EMILIU A(ilI.ALUO. llovr Forsed Lettrri Were t'ncd to Deceive the Filipino Chlrftnln iSiiKlsniundo Work, WASHINGTON. July 12. The War Department made public Rrigadier General Funston's report of the capture of Aguinaldo, made under date of May 6. This report presents in detail all the facts relating to the capture of Agulnaldo which were made public at that time. General Funston shows that his entire plan of the expedition was submitted to the commanding general of the Department of Northern Luzon, and then was sent to General MacArthur, by whom it was approved. General Funston goes into details concerning the captured correspondence from Agulnaldo and the use he made of Ceclllo Sagismundo, who had presented himself to Lieut. J. D. Taylor, of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, with letters of Agulnaldo that he was to deliver to various Insurgent chiefs. General Funston gives the, following account of the forged letters which were used to deceive Agulnaldo; "On Oct. 24. iJHXi, while scouting In the vicinity of Gapan, Nueva Ecijl. 1 nad furprised the Insurgent chief Lacuna In his camp, and had captured, among other things, some writing paper whieh bore his headquarters seal. On this paper two letters were written to Agulnalao over tho carefully forged signature of Lacuna. "One of thqse Kiters was dated rfb. 1101, at Rulae, a place In thy mountains east cf Panaranda. in It Lacuna acknowledged the receipt ot AKUinaldo's letters ot Jan. 13 and 14, and thanked him tor the confirmation ot hi3 (Lacuna s) appointment as brigao.h r generai. made some time previously by Alejandimo. "It will be remembered that-the" fetCcrrf of Agulnaldo referred to had fallen into our hands. Our letter indulsed in the usual rhetoric employed by the insurgent etiler In their correspondence, and gave a glowing account of the progress of the campaign from the standpoint ot Lacuna. "Another letter, supposedly from the same. Another letter, supposedly from the si me place, but dated Feb. 2s, was prepared, stating that the writer had just iecele; a. communication from lPiIdomcro Agujnaldo ordering him to send one of his bot companies under a reliable chief to Emiib Aguinaldo In Isabella. In accordance with these orders he was pending this force under Lieut. Col. Hilario Placido. The letter, he stated, had been captured by tne Americans a year apo. and after his release he had lived in Jafn. but recently had taken to the held again when ordereü to do so by Lacuna. This was Included in the letter for fear that Agulnaldo mlRht have heard tht Placido hid been captured by the Americans and had taken the oatft of allegiance. The letter also stated that Agulnaldo s courier. Cecllio Sigismundo, was with Lucana and would accompany the column. These two letters were dictated by me. but were written by Segovia. Wo were In possession of a number of samples of Lacuna's signature and had prevlouniy succeeded in executing a very neat forgery of his autograph at the end of each one of tne two sheets." Of the actual capture General Funston says: "The Maccabebes started up into the town and we heard a few shots, followed by scattering firing. We hastily crossed the river and running upon the town, found that the Maccabebes were somewhat demoralised and firing wildly In every direction. They were got under control with some eliltlculty. Aguinaldo's guard of about fifty armed and neatly uniformed men had been drawn up to receive the reinforcements and on being fired Into broke and ran, a few of them returning the fire as they retreated. Agulnaldo, with his officers, had awaited in his quarters. Placido and Segovia entered the house to report their arrival, and. after a short conversation, Segovia stepped outside the house and ordered the Maccabebes. who had Just come up from the river bank, to open fire on the insurgents, who. were standing in line at a distance of abou fifty yards. The Maccabees were so excite, that their fire was Ineffective. Rut two f the Insurgents were killed, the remainder. Pi their Might, throwing away eighteen rifles and a thousand rounds of ammunition. As soon as Segovia had given the order he ran back Into the house and opened fire on the officers surrounding Agulnaldo. He wounded Villa and Alhambra. The latter Jumped out of the house Into the river and was not seen again. Villa, on being wounded, surrendered, as did also Santisgd Rarcelona, AguinaMo's treasurer. "The five remaining officers escaped from the house and swam the river. Placido sflzed Agulnildo ar.d told him that he was a prisoner of t'ne Americans. At this Juncture the Americans arrived on tli see re and pave their attention to getting the Maccabebes under control and protecting the prisoners from them. One Mnccabebe was slightly wounded by a gunshot wound in the forehead." In conclusion. General Funston deals out praise generously to p II who had a share in the expedition, mentioning Captain Hazard. Captain Newton. Lieutenant Hnzutd and Lieutenant Mitchell, while especially praising Lieutenant Taylor for the discretion he showed after obtaining the Agulnaldo letters. He also spe-ika in hlh praise of Commander IJarry. of tht- Vicksburg. and the assistance the navy rendered him. Ofl Heule a It n 111 or. CHICAGO. July 12.
