ALLEGHEEY's BIG BUGABoo.

From Chief Murphy.

Gossip in and About City Hall, and = Talk
From Chief Murphy.
Considerable gossip and comment was
passed around Allegheny City Hall yester-
day by the attaches and habitues anent the
arrest of Mayor Wyman. There are, of
course, opinions both wise and problematical
on the affair, but the general thought is
that crisis in Allegheny municipal affairs
is near at hand.
Mayor Wyman has gone down into the
wilds of West Virginia for a few days shoot,
but will return in time for his hearing on
next Friday on the charges preferred by
Controller Brown.
Chief Murphy was seen, however, at his
home resting comfortably in big arm
chair, toasting his toes before the fire. Sew
eral friends were with him. He said "that
there was no ground for all this trouble;
that it was prompted by animus on the part
of some disgruntled politicians on the
Northside.''
s'What do you intend doing in the Ere de-
partment cases as brought up in Council?"
was asked.
81 am not going to do anything; don't
think it's necessary. There seems to be q
lot of people over here who know more
about my affairs than I do myself There
is nothing to do. The fire department was
never in better condition than it is now.
am aware of the bad feeling existing be-
tween Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Hunter, but that
cuts no figure with the workings of the de-
partment it is conducted better in Allie
gheny than in many other cities know of.
I have received no official notice what I am
to do, consequently can take no action. 1
think, as ! have all along, that will come
out all right. am not saying much, but
some of these fellows who are making their
cracks may have chance to hear from me
one of these days"

NEW TRACTION OFFICERS.

Col. Elkins' Son to Manage the Fifth Ave-
nue. Line, Col. Rice the DuquesDe-
Grips to BE Put on Old Duqussne Cars
What Magee Says.
The news from Philadelphia yesterday
that the deal between the Pittsburg and Du-
quesne Traction Companies had been finally
concluded there on the previous night
caused speculation as to what changes will
result. Among other stories heard
was . we'll authenticated one that
each line will have q seperate superin-
tendent, subject only to President George
Elkins of the Pittsburg Traction Com
pany, who will, as stated before,
have general control of both lines, q posi-
tion he is to assume Wednesday next.
The new Superintendent of the Duquesne
line, according to the story heard, is to be
Colonel W. H. Rice, at present the chief
engineer on that line. George Mcfarland,
who has made such popular and efficient
superintendent, is to be turned down, it is
said, on account of an old difficulty which
has existed between himself and Colonel
Elkins since Mcfarland left an official posi-
tion in the Pittsburg Traction Company.
The Fifth avenue line, according to the
same story, will be superintended BY son
of Colonel Elkins, who formerly held re-
sponsible position on one of the Elkins-
Widener roads in Chicago, and is said to be
a competent manager.
Colonel Elkips is getting pretty we'll up
in years and, it is said, desires to be re-
ieved of much of the routine duty he has
been subjected to in the management of the
cable road, hence the position of general su-
pervisor he will assume under the new man
agement will be very satisfactory to him.
Colonel Elkins is said to have told a
friend few days a ago that as soon as the
combination of the two roads is completed
the go big cars that proved such q costly ex-
pertinent on the Duquesne line when it was
started will be changed to grip cars and put
on the Fifth avenue cable road. These cars
have been lying in the DuIuesne Company's
car barn at Bellefeld ever since the small
cars replaced them on the road. The ex-
pense of Transforming them into cable cars
will be small and they are SO well construc-
ted for the comfort of passengers they will
be an improvement on the old cable cars.
But little additional information has
been received from the conference at Phila-
delphia The Duquesne Traction magnates
who are down there are expected home to-
day. c. L. Magee was interviewed in
Philadelphia last night and said:
Nothing was done at the conference of
the Duquesne and Pittsburg Traction Off
cials yesterday beyond completing traffic
arrangement which provides better service
for the public in transferring passengers
from one line to the other. Fares will be
equalized on December by the Pittsburg
Traction restoring the Scent rate If any
thing further should be done in the future
it will be done by the joint arrangements,
each company being represented in the
others board"

How Captain Mercer Succeeded in Raidins
Four More Speak-Easies.

How Captain Mercer Succeeded in Raiding
Four More Speak-Easies.
Captain Mercer and Lieutenant Cramer,
with squad of police from the Fourteenth
ward, raided three gilt-edged speak-easies
yesterday in peculiar manner. The pro-
prietors of the ';speak-easies" in that dis
trict have formed so great combination
against the officers that they can't get
within a mile of their house. Sc is or
pickets are on the lookout all the time, and
Just as soon as the officers make move for
them the proprietors are notified and their
houses are closed up.
Yesterday Captain Mercer conceived an
idea and loaded his ten officers into COW
cred milk wagon and drove it right to their
doors. He caught two speak-easies in full
blast on Bates street. The first one was
that of James Murphy, at No. 63 Bates
street, where the proprietor and eight men
were arrested. In the house was a regular
bar, with working boards and ice box as
fine as any saloon in the city. The stock
consisted of half barrels of beer, barrel
of whisky, 1 barrel Of ale, quart bottles of
whisky, IL pint bottles of whisky and 8
boxes of soft drinks The officers also
found 10 empty half barrels, 4 empty quar-
ter barrels and empty eights in the cellar.
The empty barrels show that Murphy did
large business Saturday night and Sunday
morning.
At Barney Devine's, several doors above
Murphy's house, on the same street, the
proprietor and nine men were arrested. A
full barrel of beer had just been tapped.
The officers found halfdozen empty beer
barrels in the cellar.
The house of Bridget O'Hara, up the
Four-mile run, was also raided, but she was
the only person found in the house. A lot
of empty beer bottles were found in the Gel
lar, but no beer. Mrs. O'Hara is charged
with keeping disorderly house, but Muir
ply and Devine are charged with selling
liquor on Sunday. They are all locked up
in the Fourteenth ward station and will be
given hearing this morning,

YALE'S VARSITY CREW.
OUTDOOR PRACTICE FOR THE BIG
EOAT RACE.

What is Going on In New Haven Her-
Dor In the Shell and on the
Campus-Good Coaching and Hard
Work.
Copyright, 1917
NEW HAVEN, CONN, May 23.-Yale's
boat house is, just now, one Of the centers
of interest In college circles. The building
itself is not at all imposing. Its red-roofed
gables and peaked cupolas are picturesque,
to be sure, but the structure is almost lost
among the factories and lumber yards that
surround it, and its ratio of Importance in
the university is inversely to its size
Its interest for college men lies in the fact
that it contains the racing shells that have
won the colors in many a stubborn contest.
and that every afternoon eight men step
from the floats to practice the stroke that
has made Yale's oarsmen famous. and which
may again bring victory to her banners
There is plenty of work in and around that
boat house these bright spring days. The
boat keeper has all be can do in looking
after boats, oars and dressing rooms. For
there are four class crews in practice be-
sides the Varsity, and the number of sin
gle and double sculls canoes, barges and
shells under that one roof is really surprls-
ing. NO wonder the keepers hair Is gray.
He has sides and foot rests to adjust and
readjust braces and outriggers to keep in
repair, slides to oil and row-locks aud but
tons to grease each day, and every day from
the time the ice leaves the aarbor until the
races in midsummer.
The Varsity crew have q compartment
of the boat house to themselves Near the
door stand eight sweep oars, marked near
the button with each mans name. so that
they may be picked out by the crew at a
moments notice. They are unusually long,
something over II feet, and perhaps a trifie
strighter in the blade than in former years.
They have all been whitfield down to fit the
hands; some of them, TO the eye of a harbor
boatman, would look too small in the grasp,
but the object attained is probably greater
ease in feathering. ~
The shell is, as usual, OF paper, made by
e. Waters & Sons of Troy, N. Y, and is
sixty feet in length. When not in use it
swings in a canvas sling upon two horses,
and is just now an object of special care to
the boat-keeper. Everything about the
shell is in perfect working order, and when
the men come down at 4 o'clock there is
no delay in getting out on the river.
As the men sit in the boat there is a
marked similarity in hight and weight.
There is no one in the crew capable of q
larger reach than Kelton and Cummings of
Harvard, but the crew will average heavier.
At present they are placed in the boat as
follows, although changes may be made be-
fore the race:
