They are heavy just now, but are only a

BAREFOOT IN THE SNOW
Robbers Strip a Victim of
Clothes and Money.

Kansas City. No, Dec. 14.-G. w.
Cannon. a farmer from Blue Springs,
No, had a chilly experience with foot
pads in Kansas City last night. While
he-was crossing the Santa F'e freight
yards at Nineteenth and Liberty
streets, three men stood him up be
tween two lines of freight cars and lit
orally stripped him. When the rob-
bers departed Mr.. Cannon was left
with just two pieces of underwear
even his stockings having been taken.
He ran barefOoted through the deep
snow to a switchman's shanty in the
yards. There he was given a pair of
overshOes and at a neighbOring saloon
he was given clothing enough to permit
his going to a police station to tell his
troubles. The robbers secured $38 in
money

and I don't think it would matter much
if the force We're reduced. When the
police will let such things happen as
the riot at Garfield park and the prize
fight last night, they are of no use to
city Saloons are running wide open in
this city, and believe every policeman
to a man is in with them.
c. 5. Eag1e-I have given the matter
no thought, but 1 wish we could get
along without quite so many policemen
James B. Hayden think Mayor
Fellows is in a position to know what
should be done in this matter. Either
we have not enough policemen or the
present force is Incompetent Burglar
les occur from time to time. and in the
majority of cases no arrests are ever
made and but little attempt to capture
the men. A man nowadays is almost
afraid to go to bed because of the pos
sibility of waking up to be riddled by
burglar
J. L. vanHouten-I think the force
should be reduced We have a small
city here, with prohibition, and I don't
see the need Of a large force. If the
city is to have a large force, let the Of
ficerS license saloons and make the rev
enue from the saloons pay for the po-
lice.
William NJ Hord-I think that if
Judge Hazen's decision was right the
police force should be reduced The po-
lice commissioners have no more right
to break the law than any other men.
In the matter of protection, 1 don't
think We have too large a force for the
city Ihere are q lot OF men on the
force who are no account, and as far as
preventing burglarieS, L don't think the
force is any account at all. Burglars
come and steal and go and that is the
end of the matter.
o. G. Tayman-I don't think the force
is any too large for the city and think
it is being run on as economical basis
now as ever before.
Sam Hindman-I have given the mat
ter but little thought, but I don't think
it would make much difference as far
as protection is concerned if the police
force was reduced.

Civic Federation Begins an Active
Canvass in the Interests of 1Iu-
nicipal Reform

st. Louis, Dec. 1.-THE civic fedora
ton has begun to make a systematic
canvass in the interest of civil service
reform in the municipal government of
st. Louis. At present petitions are be
ing circulated among the big business
houses and Office buildings, and the
federation officials say that they are
being numerously signed. They are ad-
dressed to the municipal assembly and
ask that an opportunity be given the
people OF the city to vote upon the pro-
position to Introduce the merit system
Of appointments in the local govern
ment. Thus far between 5000 and TO-
600 signatures have been attached to
these petitions. This afternoon the
Central Trades and Labor union held
a meeting in Walhalla hall and voted
to support the movement to secure civil
service reform in St. Louis.

TAKE THE RIVER BANK.
Rock Island to Fill in Many
Acres West of Its Bridge.

The Rock Island Railway company is
considering a proposition for the en-
largement of the railroad yards on the
south side of the river in this city The
plan looks to the filling in off the south
bank of the river under and in the vi
cinity of the bridge; and the removal of
one of the bridge spans. Each of the
bridge spans measures 155 feet, and such
a move would give the railway much
more yard space and also do away with
the sharp curve at the south end of the
bridge.
General Attorney NJ A. Low said to-
day that such a move was in cOntem-
platiOn. but that he did not Know when
it would be carried out. It is probable,
however, that the work of filing in
under the bridge will be taken up in the
spring. Something is being done toward
this now by the company cleaning all
stock cars on the yard track near the
river and using the refuse to fill in the
low ground at the river bank
This Improvement in the yards would
probably cost the railroad company
several thousand dollars.

LUETGERT'S SECOND TRIAL
1t is Begun Before Judge Gary at
Chicago Today.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-After two weeks
spent in securing jury the second trial
manufacturer accused of numbering his
wife, Louise, was commenced before
Judge Cary today. The court room
was crowded when the case was called.
Every available seat was taken while
scores of curious men and women
stood in rows behind the railing anx-
ious to hear the proceedings and get a
glimpse of the man who is charged
with boiling his wife in caustic potash
in one of his own sausage watts.
The prosecution as in the former trial
was represented by States Attorney
Deneen and Assistant States Attorney
McEwen, while Luetgert had at his
side as his defenders Attorneys Har-
mon, Reise and Kehoe. Assistant
States Attorney McEwen made the
opening address for the state His
speech, which occupied the greater part
of the session. did not deviate from the
line he pursued in his address at the
opening of the formal trial.

UNSUITABLE.
Spoilsmen Are Determined to Break
Down the Civil Service.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE outlook for
changing the civil service law is being
actively canvassed among Republican
members of the house as 4 result of the
conference held Saturday night. The
members of the special committee hav-
ing the matter in charge are trying to
so shape a bill that it will command
the support of a number of different ell
ements. One of these is the Democrat
lc minority, which combined with the
Republicans opposed to the present
law, would be strong enough to carry
a bill. But in canvassing the situation
it has been found that Democratic
members would favor a complete repeal
Of the law but would oppose anything
short of a repeal. AS the Republican
movement is not toward complete re-
peal but rather for modification of the
law, there appears to be no basis on
which the anti-civil service reformers
of both parties can unite. 1t is claim
ed, however, that a modification of the
bill will receive the votes of tWO-thirdS
of the Republican members and will
have a good chance of passing the SEN
ate and receiving the presidents sigma
ture. Mr.. Pearson IN. CO who inaugu-
rated the movement, and is a mem Der
of the special committee says the es
sential notifications of the law likely
to be considered by the committee are
as follows:
Excluding from the operations of the
law cases in which one government Off
GER is responsible for the acts of his
examinations of those already covered
into the classified service without eX-
animation, 50 as to put them on a foot
ing with new applicants; change Of ex-
aminaSionS so as to make them more
practical and less theoretical; distinct
provision against life tenure and for
stated term of service; affirmation of
the rights of heads Of departments to
remove, reduce or promote in the in
terest of the public; limitation of the
law to specific departments, bureaus,
etc, and an exclusion of those not
enumerated.
Another point that will materially
figure in the discussion of the subject
is the alleged rapid and unauthorized
enlargement of the functions of the civ
il service commission. The opponents
of the commission assert that the orig
inal law was never intended to apply to
tenure of Office and removals, and that
the commission, growing from corps
Of three commissioners and several
clerks to a large institution, has AFRO
gated to itself not only the rank of q
department but the power of debating
to heads of departments what action
they will take and further to employ
attorneys to make pleadings as in the
case of the Virginia collector of inter
nal revenue. An attempt will be made
to define the exact functions of the
commission.
