RUNNERS ARE HARD HIT
NEW ORDINANCE GOVERNING THEM
VIRTUALLY PROHIBITIVE
The Resolution RevOking Murphy's
License Ready for the COun-
cil-TwO Other Permits
Are Refused.

A license rate that will be virtually
prohbitive, and restrictions that will con-
fine hotel runners to the immediate vicin-
ity of the nosteiries they represent, or,
better, patrol lines that viii keep the
festive agent a tantalizing distance from
the gates of the union depot will be dis
tlnctive features of the ordinance which
the legal department is preparing at tie
request of the council.
E. E Mcdonald as the legal represen-
tative of the runners, scored sound
point at the meeting of the COMMITTEES
on streets of the board of aldermen.
Thursday afternoon, when he held that
the traffic was legalized by the charter
to the extent that it could not be pro-
hiibted, but admitted that the business
might be surrounded by restriction that
W ould tend to public peace and harmony.
This opinion has been accepted by the
legal department and in the drawing up
of the amended ordinance, the restric-
tons imposed will be made sufficiently
strong to make the business anything but
remuneratiVe. -.-
The ordinance will restrict runners to
hotels, restaurants and railroad ticket
shops and any attempt at side lines in the
way of ''phony' jewelry, or film fam,
games will call for the imposition of a
fine that will have a squelching effect
j
are honest, and make a fair bid for bust
ness, but there are several that have
been under the eye of the police for
some time, the gullibility of their victims
and desire to withdraw from publicity
after having been leeced making their
conviction anything but easy.
The resolution for the annullment OF
the license granted to Peter Murphy, has
been prepared and is now ready for the
council. Murphy has been arrested sew
eral times for uncivility to strangers, but
conviction has been hard to secure. His
last arrest was the first time in the his
tory of the department, that ne even con-
sented to pay a fine, which he virtually
did, by the forfeiture of his bail.
Two months ago Joseph Burwill, ]. H.
Stockbridge, and Edward Ellis were mace
runners by the council, but failed to take
out their licenses. Yesterday F. E. Nc
Donald called and demanded the permits,
but they were refused by City Clerk
Jensen. 1t is likely that the applications
will be revoked.

STORING The FLUID
EDISON ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY
PLANS ADDITION TO TRANS
FORMING STATION
THE COST WILL BE $4,000
Object Is to Be Prepared in Case
of Breakdown to the
COmpany's Main
Plant.

The Apple River electric power plant
and the adjunct, the Cedar street trans
forming station, both belonging to the
Edison Electric Light and Power COM
pany, are to be augmented in a. Few
weeks by current storage facilities that
will make it's capacity the greatest of any
plant west of Chicago.
The new addition was provided for yes
terday in the issuance of permit by the
city building department, allowing the
construction Of a three-story building,
which will be added to and which will
front the present story and half sta
ton on Cedar street, between Fifth and
Sixth streets. The cost of the building
is given at $S,000 but the improved ma
chinery which will fill its three floors
will bring the local eXpediture up to $780,
10O
The addition contemplated is for the
purpose of taking care of surplus cur
rent, immense lead and acid batteries,
which will be installed, furnishing a store
house that will provide energy in case
of accidents and the enforced breaking
down of the main plant. 1t will also
permit an eVennesS of service that will do
away with the present vagaries of the
fluid in its tendency at times to flash and
run riot in its course through individual
lamps and transformers
The first floor of the new addition will
be simply an extension of the present
structure to the lot line and will allow
the addition of more transformers, while
on the two floors above will be installed
the heavy lead storage batteries, which
it is expected will double. the capacity of
the plant. The batteries, while of earth
enWare, will be lined with porous lead and
in the solution of acid which will fill
them will be suspended plates of lead
Here surplus energy will find Judgment
and it is needless to say that under the
present system plenty of it goes to
waste. Should the Apple River station
break down, the batteries will fill the
gap for a reasonable length of time,
while the evenness of service which will
result, the promoters hold, will fully
compensate for any other trouble or cost
that will ensue.
Breakdowns since the station was
opened and trouble incident to an I'M
even current are largely responsible for
the addition, while the desire 10 take
care of increasing business in the de-
n1and for more current has also necessi-
tated the Improvement
The plant up 20 date, including the
great engineering feat at Apple River in
the shape of the big power station at
that point has cost the promoters nearly
SSOO,OOO, and the company says that if
business demands it by another year the
expenditure will be brought up TO the
million-dollar mark .yas..-.
The Cedar street transforming station,
with the new addition when completed.
will alone represent an expenditure of
$500, 000

FOR RURAL POPULATION
TO EQUIP DELIVERY WAGONS
WITH WEATHER SIGNALS.

The government has for some time con-
templated a double function for the rural
mail routes of the country, by making
the delivery wagons messengers for the
weather bureau as we'll. The idea is that
all mail wagons shall carry weather sig
nails along their routes, SO that the coun-
try population shall know what the
weather is going to be before the wealth
er arrives. When asked concerning the
project Postmaster McGill said, yester-
day.
I'VE have as yet received no official
notification in regard to this matter. al
though We have heard that 1t was to be
inaugurated. 1t strikes me very favor
ably, and I should think it would prove
of very practical value"
