ST. PAUL TO HAVE MONEY.
But Smaller Cities Will Be Elk
pected to Wait.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ga brief talk
with Chairman Bankhead, of the house
committee on public buildings and
grounds, will convince any one that
there is to be very little consideration
shown to those ambitious inland cities
which are figuring on the erection of
postoffice buildings. Mr.. Bankhead is
determined that the purse Of the nation
shall be opened for the purpose of erect
ing buildings here in Washington, and
that buildings in small inland towns
will go unbuilt while he holds the reins.
Just now the new S7,000,60O national
library building here is approaching
completion; the foundations are going
in for the new poStoffice structure,
and next year will probably see
the Inauguration of the new public
printing Office and the new district
building. And still the government
eXpends vast sums of money annually
in paying rent for private buildings in
which TO transact the public business.
Mr.. Bankhead says that so far as his
influence goes there will be more build
ing done in Washington and less in the
outside districts during the coming two
years.
Asked as to the st. Paul public build
ing, he said: "Oh, there will be no diff
ticulty about reasonable appropriation

CHICAGO'S DEAD CHEF.
Continued From First Page.

the mayor of Chicago, in this Columbian
Il thing Of the past, cannot fail to make
profound impression on the American
people. The assassination of cruel 81
berian officials can be understood. 1t is
natural that those who have suffered
intolerable wrongs should seek revenge.
But here is man who went out of his
way to help the poor and oppressed,
who gave every caller an au-
dience, who even drew upon him
self the charge of being an anarchist
because of his warm sympathy with
those who bore heavy burdens. Yet he
is shot down as though he were will
ing instrument of some cruel despot.
Snch an act calls for summary punish
the sensational coddling of criminals
which stirs the gore of decent people.
Mayor Harrison will not have died in
vain if the horror over his assassination
shall result in the swift and severe en-
forcement OF our criminal laws. 1t Is
high time that the craukS We're taught
they must respect the Sanctity OF
human life, as we'll as the laws against
which they rail.'
The Examiner tomorrow will say:
"The murder of Mayor Harris on, OF
Chicago, is a crime SO startling i'll It's
unexpectednesS, so atrOcious in itself,
that it has given the whole nation
shock. Harrison's prominence as chief
magistrate of the American city i'll
which the worlds fair is Deing
held will secure his tragical
death ali attention and significance
attached to the taking off no
mayor Of any other municipality in
the world. That the annals of the great
American fair should be hideously blot
ted with the blood of Chicago's mayor
adds to the horror and pain which this
fearful crime excites. The bullets of
the fiendish fool have transformed the
closing of the exposition from historl-
cal holiday into an occasion of mourn
ing and wrath. In its personal as well
as its public aspects, the death of Carter
Harrison is UNNECESSARILY deplorable."

MUNICIPAL SYMPATHY.
What Kansas City Papers Say of
the Tragedy.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Oct. 29.-The
news of the assassination of Mayor
Harrison caused profound sorrow and
indignation among all classes of people
in this city. y ,4
The Times said: 1.-THE news of the
violent and tragic death of Bon. Carter
H. Harrison will shock and grieve the
civilized world. Not only because of
the prominence of the man himself will
it excite universal sympathy and horror,
but also because of the fame and great
ness of Chicago, whose distinguished
and honorable chief he was in this most
glorious year of this most wonderful
city. That she should be shrouded in
gloom at the very climax of her
celebration of a triumph surpass-
ing anything before seen in hui
man history is misfortune that
rises to national calamity, and touches
the hearts of the people OF every land
who have so recently enjoyed her mar
Vicious hospitality. The prominence of
the man, the prominence OF the city and
the prominence of the year which we
are celebrating, and the terrible char
acter of this viIlainous deed will lead to
exaggerated fears for the safety of our
public men. But in this connection it
is we'll to remember that, notWithstand-
ing the bitterness of political strife in
America and the perfect freedom with
which our public men mingle with
their fellow citizens, and the SIM
plicity of their manner of living,
sible malicious attacks of politi-
cal enemies or cranks, yet no other dis
tinguisbed public official has been as
saSsinated in this country since Presi-
dent Garfield, and but three such crimes
have been committed in the history of
the nation. Public sentiment is more
powerful for the prevention of this evil
than the harsheSt law or SevereSt pun
ishment. 1t has stamped out every in.
cipient growth of anarchy, and the de-
termination of the American people to
preserve their institutions and protect
life and liberty will be increased and
strengthened by the lesson Of the awful
deed which has turned Chicago's Joy to
grief and filled the whole country with
sadness"
The Journal said: "The entire coun-
try will share the shock felt by the Chi
cago people on account of the assassina-
ton of their mayor. Carter Harrison
has long been identified with the poll
tics and public interests of Chicago, and
has several times been chosen to pre-
side over the city's municipal govern
ment. He was selected to occupy the
position of mayor during the Columbian
year. when the duties of the Office were
more than ordinarily responsible and
burdensome, and it can be said to his
credit that he has discharged his obliga-
tions with honor both to himself and to
the city. He was to have been married
in short time to handsome and veal
thy young lady of the South. the nup-
tials having been postponed until after
the fair should close. His greatest
fault has been that he befriended too
indulgently the class of people at whose
hands he has now met his death-the
criminals, thugs and haters of law and

The New York Herald Reads a
Lecture on Cranks.
New YORK, Oct. 29.-The Herald this
morning says; The assassination Of
Mayor Carter Harrison, which has so
shocked the country at present, pre-
sents case exceptionally hor-
rible and peculiarly sad. The
victim was in the evening of
life, with everything to make his
declining years happy. The popular
chief magistrate of Chicago. proud of
the worlds fairs success, to which he
had contributed so much. joyful in his
home life, and on the eve of new happi-
ness, was shot down without warning,
in cold blood, IN his own household with
wantonnesS characteristic of
fiend. The assassin was undoubtedly
insane and impelled to the mad act by
the hallucination of diseased brain
that he had been grievously wronged.
This and one or TWO other recent cases
are lesson that threats of mischief by
apparently harmless cranks cannot
safely be treated with unconcern. Such
persons are to be carefully watched,
and should be dealt with as dangerous

COGHLAN'S DAUGHTER.
Miss Gertrude Not His Own, but
His Adopted Daughter.


LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 29.-Charles
Coghlan says that the young actress
who bears his name, and who has lived
with him, is not his real. but his adopted
daughter, and that she is not of
illegitimate birth. Because of the
publication in New York pa
pers that she was his child,
he has made a full statement of her
history, anxious that no stain should
rest upon her. Her real name is Ger
trude Evelyn Norfolk, and her parents,
who are married, are still living. Her
grandfather is a Mr.. Norfolk, we'll
known in British financial circles
as the president of the London and
County Banking company. AS evidence
of these assertions, Mr.. COghlan is
ready to show those whom 1t may con-
Germ the certificate of baptism OF the
young lady in question, although, in
speaking of the matter last night, he
would not identify the girls parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Norfolk. COghlan
said that when Gertrude Evelyn Nor
folk was two years old the woman who
was popularity supposed, in New York,
at least, to be Mrs. Coghlan, and who
was even then living with Mr.. Coghian,
persuaded him to take little Gertrude
Evelyn and adopt her as their own.
The consent of her parents was OBJ
tanned. and, although no legal formal
tiles accompanied the transaction, the
Norfolks promised that thenceforward
they would resign all claims to the
custody of the child. She then became
Gertrude Coghlan, and grew up under
the tutelage of her adopted parents.
Mir. Coghlan was decidedly anxious to
have it understood that he stands in
loco-parentis to Miss Gertrude Coghlan,
who is not yet legally of age.

BILL TO GIVE EVERY STATE A
CHANCE.
CAPITALS FORCE OF CLERKS

Now Comes Mainly From Mary
land, Virginia and the District
of CoIumbia-The New Meas
ure Designed to Give Every
State the Quota to Which It
Is Entitled.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Oct. ga bill has
just been introduced in the house
which. ill case of passage, will equalize
the clerical and official force now COM
ing under civil service among all the
several states of the Union. The bill is
in the form of an amendment to the
civil service law, and provides that the
heads of departments shall report list
of their employees to the president, to-
gether with the congressional districts
in which they are bona fide residents. 1t
further provides that the president shall
direct that all future appointments
to the civil service shall be made from
the states and territories which are be-
low their quotas until the service shall
be equalized between all the states, ter
rito les and districts by congressional
districts. Another clause Of the bill di-
reefs that heads of departments shall
furnish an annual
REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
of the employees, classified according to
congressional districts, with the aggre-
gates of salaries, and that the equality
between the districts in the amounts of
salaries paid shall be maintained as far
as possible consistent with the interests
or the service.
If this bill shall become a law there
will be a gradual change In the civil
service that will rectity the partiality
which has heretofore been shown in
favor of the states contiguous TO the
national capital. Today more than one
half of the employees in the civil service
of the country are from the Eastern
states contiguous to Washington.
Maryland, Virginia and the District of
Columbia alone probably have as many
as all the other states combined. There
are people in every department credited
to Minnesota and other far-Western
states who never passed the crest of
THE ALLEGHENY MOUNTAINS
in their lives. There are whole fami-
lies, including father, mother, sons and
daughters, living here two or three
generations past - families of large
wealth-every member of which holds
some governmental place; and probably
credited to as many different states as
there are members in the family. The
object of the bill is righteous one. and
will serve to give deserving men and
women in the South and West some lit
tie show at the full breast of the mother
country. 1t is good idea to wean a
few who have "waXed fat and kick" in
Maryland, Vii ginia and the District of
