THE CITY GETS A BILL.
The Central Wants Pay for Transfer
ring Cars to the Water Works.

The City Built the Track to the Water
Works and Understood That Coal
Oars Were to Be Transferred Free.
The Centrars Former Agent SO IN
derstood and Made No Charges-The
Road Now Renders a Bill for All
Transfers Made Since the Operation
of the Water Works Was Begun.
supt. Manning Investigating the
Matter.
A little difficulty has developed be-
tween the city and the Central railroad,
which will probably require the attention
of council When the new water works
plant was built, the city built half-mile
track running along Styles avenue from the
Central railroad yard, for the purpose of
transporting material to the grounds at
the time, and for the transportation of
coal afterward from the Central railroad
TO the water works.
The city built the track and furnished
all the material except the rails, which
were furnished by the Central railroad
being some partly worn rails which the
road had on hand. There was a verbal
understanding that the Central was to
transfer the coal cars for the water works
from the yards to the grounds free of
charge, and in return the road was to be
permitted the use of the water works
track for any Of its yard business it de
sired free of charge. Unfortunately for
the city, there was no contract to this
effect, but only verbal understanding.
WANTS PAY FOR HAULING.
The Central railroad has recently made
a demand upon the city for pay for trans
ferring the coal cars from the yard to the
water works. The price demanded is 30
cents per car. Not only is payment de-
manded for the transferring of cars now,
but bill has been presented for all cars
transferred since erection of the water
works was begun. Capt. Manning,
superintendent of the water works thinks
if the verbal agreement were not
satisfactory some notice of it
should have been given before now. Mr.
A. l.. Wilkinson, the former agent of the
Central railroad, who is in the city, was
seen by Capt. Manning yesterday. Mr..
Wilkinson stated that it was his under
standing when he was agent of the road
that no charge was to be made for the
transfer of cars to the water works, and
that all such transfers were made by him
without charge.

Tho SUM THREE Motions

The sun has three known motions:
!. An axial rotation, which is plainly
shown by the appearance and disap-
pearance of well-known spots upon his
surface. The mean period of this axial
motion is s3A Of our days. . A mo-
ton around the center OF gravity of
the whole solar systems motion
which can only be ascertained by the
use OF very delicate instruments on &C
count of his great mass. which is
greater than the total of all the other
bodies of the system combined ;. A
progressive motion through space il
the direction of the constellation OF
Hercules The rate OF speed Of this
last-named motion is not known. but is
estimated 10 be 80, 90, COO miles per
year, and some investigators even think
II possible that the rate will exceed the
above estimate by at least halt

IN experiments by Prof. Buchner
cultures of typhoid and other bacilli
placed in water were completely de-
stroyed in three hours BY bright sun
light, and rapidly reduced even by diff
fuse daylight, although they rapidly
increased IN the dark. To determine
the depth at which this bactericidsl
action Of light ceases, partially exposed
cultures OF different bacteria were
sunk in Stsnberger lake. near Munich
At three yards below the surface the
retarding effect was only just percepti-
bic, although il was shown ten years
ago that light penetrates in water-at
least IN the lake of Generate depths
as great as is yards Il is apparent,
therefore, that the effect Of sunlight

huge paper bundle in the other, and
was weirdly draped with the tattered

evidently, very long and handsome

black Derby hat was jammed down
over its ears. Sitting there on the hard
turf, it gazed at the brakeman solemn
" for a whole half minute; and the
brakeman gazed, too, at the dazed
phenomenon, and neither spoke. Final

TALKED INTO A HAT
4 Chicago Lawyer Displays Rare

With Telephone In His Tile the After.
ney's Client Succeeds In Getting Mf.
Ioas to Talk BY Wire Int
Detectives Ear.

Luther Latin Mills, the famous Chi
cago lawyer, though he modestly dis
claims it. has recently become the hero
of one of the greatest feats of detective
skill on record.
Two or three weeks ago Mr.. Mills
received business call from DR.. Peter
Janss, Of No. 3411 Cottage Grove ave-
nue., Chicago, who was in deep trouble,
and desired professional assistance. A
man, who had not been extremely care
full TO conceal his identity. had been
writing letters to Mrs. Janss. This
man, he said, was lawyer, named
Charles Ioas, with an Office in room 4O1
Ashland block, with whom DR.. Janss
was for some years intimate, but with
whom he had a disagreement over a
year ago. Soon after the alienation
began, Warren .Inslow, clerk in DR..
Janss' Office, received typewriter
letter signed Thomas jefferson" re-
1uesting him to hand an inclosed note
to Mrs. Janss. AS the writer said: do
not let the doctor see it; it's about
girls" Winslow, therefore, handed the
letter and the Enclosure to DR.. Janss
instead Of Mrs. Janss. DIR. Janss sus-
pected Ioas at once, and went straight
to him and accused him of it. Ioas
boldly admitted it and defed Janss.
Mr.. Mills decided at once that addi-
tional evidence against Ioas would be
necessary before it would be wise to
make an arrest. He called in Post
Office Inspector Stuart, and the practic-
ability Of proving the crime by COM
pairing it with other work done on
Ioas' typewriter was discussed. This
plan was abandoned, and then Mr..
Mills suggested the use of telephone
to get additional evidence of Ioas' con-
fession. Subsequently Mr.. Mills con-
suited with his old schoolmats, j. P.
Ellocott, an electrician, and line of
procedure was soon agreed upon DIR.
Janss was having occasional interviews
with Ioas, in which Ioas would confess
his authorship of the letter, but he
was careful not to do so in the hearing
of any third party. It was decided,
therefore, to conceal q telephone on
DR.. Janss' person, by means Of which q
third party at distance could hear
lIoas' confessions.
This was feat never attempted be-
fore. There had been no end Of stories

But to conceal one in persons cloth

Stuart undertook to do. After discuss

DIR. Janss' silk hat The hat was pro-
vided with two crowns and the trans
mitter put between them. The outer
crown had through it few eyelet
holes for admitting sound. A battery
was arranged for the coat pocket and
this left only the wires and the re-
ceiver to be provided for.
(! The wire was 100 feet in length. and
consisted of two fine copper strands in

he next visited Ioss he was accompanied
by Inspector Stuart and Detective
Saudemeier. As he passed into the of.

coil 70 the heel and unreeled the wire
into neighboring Office. There In

1t is probable that II matters had
gone no further Ioes would still have
been safe, for no court has ever yet ac-

Stuart afterward confronted Ioas and
read from q paper ali that he had said

confessed everything to the inspector
The result of this was that United
