IT IS PRETTY TRYING.
Frank L. Whitaker's Job as Bridge
Guardsman.

Frank L. Whitaker has many good
points, but being a policeman is scarce
ly one of his strong hOlts"
When Bridge PatrOlman Whitaker
went on duty at the Kansas avenue
bridge he met with obstacles which
would try the nerves of any man.When
he took charge the crowd grinued. The
south approach and span was lined
with men and boys who intended stay
ing there until the officer should make
them get off When he had cleared the
bridge the crowd stood along the side
and jeered. The bridge wOrkmen also
guyed him. One of them, a little bold
er than the rest, pointed the hose at
him and threw water on the bridge.
Now, gentlemen said Whitaker,
with all the nerve at his command:
If you throw water on me, III take eV-
cry last one of you down to the police
station"
There was a chorus of yells and jeers.
Frank didn't look as if he meant IT,.
Going to the other side of the bridge,
Whitaker found a man standing watch
ing the work
You win have to get off of here, he
said
L am working here, and 1 have a
right to be here" said the man.
If you're working here, go down to
the working place, but don't stand on
this bridge
III stay here if want to, and you
can't put me off.
This was certainly time for action.
Officer Whitaker swung his club and
The medicine was well prescribed. for
no sooner was it given than the man
walked quietly away and has not been
heard from at the bridge since.

PNEUMATIC MAIL TUBES.
Postofice Authorities Propose an
Elaborate System for Quick Ser
vice in Chicago

Chicago, April 16.-Within two years,
IF the plans of the postal department
are carried out, Chicago viii have an
elaborate system of pneumatic tubes
for the quick transmission of mails to
and from depOts, to and from the chief
sub-stations, and to and from the
large business houses and office build
ings. The new postofFice will be the
center from which these rapid transit
avenues will radiate
Postmaster Gordon said yesterday he
had discussed the matter briefly with
the authorities in Washington and he
expected to take it up with them when
he goes there again next month.
The big downtown business firms are
backing the local postal authorities in
their work for the quick transit scheme.
Not long ago Montgomery Ward & Co
had plans arranged to connect
their house in Michigan avenue
with the old postofice. expecting the
installation of pneumatic transit, but
the destruction of that edifice compelled
the house to temporarily abandon the
enterprise.
Chicago newspapers employ the air
service successfully at the present time
1t is shown in favor of a tube system
that enough saving would be made in
expenses TO more than pay interest up
on the cost Of a plant.

riers' department, is going to New York

FAMILIAR NAMES.
Som metimes Are Worth Many Thous-
andS of Dollars.

Among manufacturers, the value CT
a trade mark for their products is COM
ing to be well understood. When peO-
pie get in the way of using an article
which proves meritorious ana which
they buy and buy again, they soCn come
to know that article by some distinct
name or in connection with some
catchy line.
Some boys stood watching a painter
pepciling with his brush on a grOcer'S
plate glass window the word Postum
then was quickly painted the round red
disk and one of the boys said to the
other: 1T makes red blood, that is the
health coffee that boys can drink.
There was no question about Postum
and it's trade mark being familiar to
him. When an article has become SO
popular that its name is truly a house
hold word and becomes a part If ev-
eryone's vocabulary, even to that of
the children, the trade mark or name
has become a valuable franchise which
is usually protected from confiscatiOn
by being registered in the patent office
and some of these trade marks are val
ued at hundreds of thousands OF dol
terests from unscrupulOus persons OF
firms who would pirate the name il not
restrained by the strong arm of the
law.
A reliable grocer will never offer
cheap or weak imita ton of a genuine
original article because he happens to
make a little extra profit. But it is
well to observe that when genuine
Postum Cereal coffee is ordered, that
you set Postum and not a spurious i'm
itat;oE offered as s'just as good"

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Fireman at the Insane Asylum Slain
by an Explosion.

George H. Green, a fireman at the
Topeka insane asylum, was instantly
killed this morning about 10 o'clock by
an explosion of a steam boiler heater
which was connected with the main
battery of boilers. He was a man of
80 years whose home was in Auburn
dale, where he had a wife and three
small children.
Green has had charge of the boiler in
the north wing of the insane asylum
buildings. 1t was separate from the
regular boiler house. In this room
which is in the basement, there is a sort
of boiler which is used as a heater. but
which gets steam from the main boiler
1t has no fire under it and no tubes
through it. The full pressure of steam
was turned into this heater this morn
ing. Green and an inmate of the asy-
lum were working in the boiler room
when a leak was discovered in the
heater. Green hurriedly procured a
wrench and climbed up on the boiler
heater directly over the head of it.
The nuts had become loose, thus Civ
ing the steam a chance to escape. He
worked rapidly to close the leak. The
inmate, who works about the room reg
ularly, warned him not to get up there
while the steam pressure was on the
heater. But Green did not realize his
danger and he continued on in his work.
The leak had been almost stopped
when there was a tremendous explosion
which shook the building. The end of
the heater boiler was blown out and
hurled against the ceiling with terrific
force.
Green's body's fell to the floor. a
mass of quivering flesh. His head was
mashed into a jelly, his right arm bro
ken and mutiIated and his body hor-
ribIy scalded. The frightened inmate
ran to another part of the building for
help, but George H. Green had been
instantly killed by the terrific explo-
sion. Employees and officers from all
the buildings attracted by the loud re-
port, hocked to the scene of the acci-
dent.
The body of the dead fireman was ta-
ken in charge and Coroner Westerfield
notified. He held an inquest over the
remains from which the verdict was
that George H. Green came to his
death due to a lack of appreciation of
the danger in which he placed him
self"
The body was removed to the late
home in Auburndale where his young
wife became frantic with grief as soon
as she was made aware of the truth.
There is little doubt that the acci-
dent was the result of carelessness. The
steam pressure could easily have been
turned off of the heated boiler before
the repairs were made. Green had been
considered a careful man, and he was
popular with those who knew him.

SPAIN WILL QUIT.
The Great Spanish Army to
Leave Cuba.
Spanish Authorities Say There
Is Nobody to Fight.
CUBANS DENY THIS.
Allege That Spain Has Run Out
of Money
And Is Forced to Abandon Sub
jugatiOn of the Island.

Washington, April 16.-According to
information received from trustworthy
sources here the withdrawal of at least
a part of the great army that Spain
has maintained for several years in the
island of Cuba will begin when the
rainy season sets in, within a few days
The initial movement will be the de-
parture of 10000 Spanish troops from
Havana for Spain, and within a short
time after that 10000 troops, it is un-
derstood. will follow
whether this movement is to be con-
strued in favor of or against the insur-
gents it is not possible to say. The
Spanish insist positively that it means
only that little or nothing of the insur-
rectiOn remains; that Gomez has only
about fifty or a hundred followers, and
that to watch these under the condi-
ttons in which the campaign has been
necessarily conducted a few thousand
men are quite as effective as the army
of 100000 men which has been main
tanned in Cuba. The Cuban contin-
gent, on the other hand, insist that the
Spanish financial resources are ex-
hausted and that the troops are to be
withdrawn because of lack of money
to keep them in service

Grecian Invasion of Macedonia
Suddenly Ends.
Invaders Scamper Back Across
the Frontier.
CAMPAIGN USELESS.
Because Not Backed Up by the
Regular Army.
Great Indignation Exists Over
the Kings Action.

Larissa, Headquarters of the Greek
Army in Thessaly, April 16.-The in
surgents have suffered a severe check.
A strong force of Turkish troops from
MecoVon, with number Of mountain
guns, advanced on krania, which had
previously been captured by the
Greeks, and attacked the 400 irreguIars
OF Greece, who occupied an entrenched
position. 1t is reported that the fight
ing was ferociOus on both sides.
The insurgents eventually We're COM
peIled TO retreat north to the noun
tains- Some of them, however, sue
ceeded in breaking through the Turk
lsh lines and escaped to BaltinO the
town just across the frontier in Mace
donia, first captured by the Greek ir-
regulars and used by them as a depot
for provisions and ammunition.
The leader of the Greeks opera ting in
that direction, Chief Milonas, was
among the wounded and returned later
into Greek territory with a number OF
that a portion Of the Turkish force was
composed of iFregularS whose dress. re-
sembleS that of the Greek insurgents.
This, 1T appears, enabled the Turkish
force to execute a flank movement un-
needed by the leaders of the Greeks.
The refugee referred to blanes the
Greek leaders for badly handling their
men.
It is reported that the Ethnike He
tairia, or national league, has ordered
the Greek irregulars to retreat into
bloOdshed as useless unless the regular
army of Greece supports the irregulars.
The crown princess has arrived here to
take part in the work of the ambulance
corps.
The failure of the first raid has deep
ened the general evaporation and led
to much angry recriEninations. The
Ethnike Hetairia blames the govern
ment and the latter blames the brother
hood 1t is quite evident that the He
taira expects TO be supported by the
regular troops on the outbreak of a war
thus precipitated.
Several of the newspa pers indulge in
a similar bitter recTimination, and all
authorities declare that there is a want
of confidence between the court and the
government The Greek ration knows
what it wants, but its rulers are Waver-
ing and undecided. The nation is ask
ing how it is that the Greeks were sur
rounded and compelled to retreat with

and more noticeable, but the clamOr for
war does not diminish.

Yesterday afternoon the fire depart

to strengthen the structure and keep it
standing until the new bridge is done.
The fire department trucks should not

CAR COMPANY SURRENDERS
indianapolis Car Line officials De-
eide to Accept Three Cents.

Indianapolis, April 16.-For the pres
ent. at least. the Citizens Street Rail-
way company has decided to give up
its fight against the 3 cent fare law. A
Mason, president of the company says
that until the case is settled in the
courts. 3 cents viii be accepted as d
fare This announcement was made by
Mayor Taggart.
About 10:30 this morning the mayor
sent for Mr.. Mason and told him that
the police would receive orders to see
that the 3 cent fare law was enforced.
He suggested that the street car COM
pany had better do something to pro-
tect itself and its men from arrest Mr.
Mason said he would Instruct the en-
ployes that from now Until the case in
the upper courts is settled they would
accept 3 cents as fare on the car.
There were many riotous scenes on
some of the streets down town today
The street railroad compskny had re-
peated yesterdays verbal instructions
to conductors to pay no attention to the
law fixing fare at 3 cents ard had post
ed in the barns a glaring notice that 5
cents fares should be collected. An in
formal indignation meeting was held in
the forenoon hours at Illinois and Ohio
streets. The announcement of Presi-
dent Mason it is thought has been made
just in time to avert serious trouble.

PUNCHED A FOOTPAD.
Leopold Won Langen Threw Up His
Hands But One Was a Fist.

Leopold Won Langen, who, with his
father, is engaged in the publication
OF the German Telegraph in this city,
was a principal in an attempted hold
up on West Second street, between fIar-
risOn street and Topeka avenue, about
IL o'clock last night. The other princi-
pal was the man who tried to hold him
up, and got knocked down for doing it.
Won Langen was on his way to his
home at 205 Tyler street about IL
O'Clock last night, walking on the south
side of Second street, and when at the
alley between Harrison street and To-
peka avenue a man stepped out di-
rectly in front of him and, showing a re-
vOlver in his face, commanded him to
throw up his hands Il threw up my
hands as he requested said Won Ian
gen, but as [ did so I caught him I'M
der the chin with my right He fell
over backwards, and as he was taller
and heavier man than 1, started on
a run for home"
Won Langen did not recognize the
man. He says that he was well dress
ed and wore mOustache- The thlnS
was all done so quickly" he said to-
day. that 1 don't think [ would know
the man if / saw him again.
Last nights experience was the third
of the kind that young Won Langen has
had within the past year. An attempt
was made to hold him up some months
ago at the same spot that the encounter
occurred last night, and later SINH
lar attempt was made at the alley be-
tween Topeka avenue and Tyler street.
On the two former occasions he did not
escaped by running. An attempt was
made to hold up Carl JOckheck on Sec
ond street, at the corner of Topeka ave-
nue., several months ago.
Won Iangen did not report the matter
to the police.
