ROBINSON WILL BE
RIPPED OUT OF OFFICE
One of the Local Effects of the
"Chaser"-R Recorder Will Re-
appoint Him.

One of the immediate effects in this
city of the passage of the chaser" to
the ripper" bill will be the ripping
out of office of City Treasurer +. ].
Robinson. Hereafter that office is to
be filled by appointment, the recorder
having the appointing power. Mr..
Robinson's term would not expire
until the first Monday of April next.
Recorder Connell said yesterday that
he will appoint the present treasurer
to succeed himself.
The recorder and Delinquent Tax
Collector George w. jenkins had a
conference yesterday about that office,
to which Mr.. Jenkins was appointed
by Former Recorder Moir. The pres
ent recorder is of the opinion that Mr..
Jenkins. appointment was not legal
and desiring to avoid complications
and trouble for the city. he advised
Mr.. jenkins that he would not recog
ME him as the collector of delinquent
taxes until the courts have decided
that he Is entitled to the Office.
MIR. jenkins. when seen by a Tribune
man, was not prepared to say what
course he will pursue, but it is prob
able that he will begin proceedings at
an early day to have the courts pass
upon his right to the office of delin-
quent tax collector. He agrees with
the recorder that it would be bad
| thing all around If 1t should be shown
| some time after he entered upon the
| duties of his office that he had nc
| authority to collect taxes.

it's wake a sulphurous atmosphere re-
dolent Of homemade birthstone.
Yesterday was record breaker in
the matter of heat waves. Not con.
tent with the modest record of "a
degrees above, which were the figures
on Fridays championship belt, the
heat yesterday was so intense that it
didn't stop working until the mercury
had been showed up to 81 and Fridays
registerings beaten by three degrees,
Ninety-seven was the maximum
temperature reported by Observer
Clarke, but central city thermometers
had him beaten to standstill, and
during the greater part of the after
noon the thermometer at street COR
ners registered 100 or over. One hun
dred and two to one hundred and four

The official figures show that at
noon it was % above, at 2 p. m, 95

At 430 o'clock the 81 mark was
reached. Observer Clarke says there
is no relief in sight and that from
all present indications the hot spell
may continue for two or three weeks
yet. There are no present indications

LEAGUE IS NOT INACTIVE
Agent Wilson Tells of the Work He
and His Men Are Now En-
gagged In.

1T was told me today" said Agent
Wilson, of the Municipal league, to a
Tribune reporter yesterday, that some
sunday paper had a scare-head article
setting forth that the league was in
active these days. ! am not wont to
heed what the Sunday papers say, but
in this case l will vary my rule to say
that the article in question Is decidedly
misleading
'The league may appear to be mac
tive, but that is because It is just at
present engaged in a work that must
necessarily be done quietly. Our eff
forts now are bent on suppressing one
of the greatest evils threatening the
morals of the city. refer to the prac-
tice of young people, and some who are
not young, of prowlng at night about
the fields adjacent to suburban resi-
dences. Their conduct has become so
VIGOROUSLY scandalous that the women
and children of the neighborhood dare
not venture from their homes after
nightfall.
Some of the sights seen by me and
my men almost surpass belief. Persons
who do not have occasion to look into
this matter can not be made to realize
by a word-of fmouth story the extent to
which this thing is carried on.
I'VE have made number of arrest is
| and have had several parties fined, but
| on account of the youth of most of the
offenders we have kept the matter from
| the press. We feel now that quiet work
| must give way to open operations and
| hereafter, except in extreme cases, we
propose to make an example of these
| offenders
| Mr.. Wilson recited a number of Incl.
| dents in connection with this work
| which tended to show that the concern
of the league over this evil is not un
warranted One thing which Mr.. vii
son himself ran across one night was
a young couple, a boy. of twenty and E
girl of fifteen. sleeping side by side il
a field in Green Ridge at midnight
When the agent flashed his bull's-cy,
lantern on them they were not dis
turbed. He had to use his club viGor
ously on the soles of their feet before
they could be reused.

HOW A BLOODHOUND
DID ITS WORK

II had an opportunity to observe the
efficiency Of the bloodhound as an IN
strument for tracking criminals While
was at Wichita" said a Macon at
torney, the other day, on returning
from a trip over into Kansas.
AN atrocious crime had been COM
mitted out in the suburbs The sheriff
was promptly notified and he respond
ed Immediately with his large, sompre
assistant. The dog was taken into the
house and to the room where the crime
occurred. 1t Immediately started out
with a bound cleared the fence and
dashed into the timber with the sher-
iff and others following close behind.
The hound ran to a stream, where 1t
appeared to be mystifed for a few
minutes 1t ran up and down the
banks, painting and wagging It's tan
nervously. Suddenly it caught the
trail again and dashed onward up the
bank of the stream, ran around a tree
shot over a brush pile and then TOOK
a bee line for town.
From this time on it never falteref
or seemed to be in doubt for a mot
ment. The trail led to a mammoth
grain elevator. The, dog burst into a
side door without hesitation, and dart
ed for the steps, dashing the surprised
workmen right and left. 1t went clear
up to the topmost floor Of the eleva-
tor, circled around a few times and
then darted down another way. When
it reached the bottom floor 1t ran out
on the sidewalk, through the business
part of the town and then to the board
ing district. 1t was blocked by closed
door at a small boarding house, but
when the officers caught up with the
dog they had the door opened. The
hound assembled the steps at bound

by one of the boarders, pushed the
door open with his fore foot and at
tackled the clothes Of a man who was
in bed asleep.
"The savage growls woke the man
up and he yelled loudly for protection.
The sheriff entered the room just in
time to seize the dog and pull him
from the mans throat. By this time
a large crowd had congregated at the
entrance of the boarding house and
was impatiently awaiting the appear
ance of the quarry. The sheriff tele-
phoned for guards before attempting
to remove his man to jail A patrol
wagon came and the prisoner and dog
were seated in it, surrounded by po-
licemen with drawn reVolvers, When
the start was made for the jail the
crowd must have numbered fully 1900.
They were vociferously demanding
that the prisoner be Immediately hung,
but there was no leader and lynching
was averted. During the drive the dog
never for an instant took its eyes
from the trembling victim. So perfect
was the hounds work and so thorough
ly had it terrorized the prisoner, that
he confessed to the crime soon after
he was placed in Jail.
Il was informed that the blood
hound was worth $1,000 and was one of
the best in the state. 1t was not a
very prepossessing animal, but when
it was in action, like a courageous SOL
der it looked much better than it did
