CORRUPTION IN TWO CITIES.
Investigations In st. Louls and Phi1a-
de1phia Show Much Rotteness.

de1phia Show Much Rotteness.
Another chapter has been added to the
story Of civic corruption in st. Louis.
The methods Of the municipal combine
and other city officials have been further
exposed; and yet the investigation Is not
finished. On Saturday four public men
were indicted by the grand jury. Mon
day a new grand jury was impaneled
to continue the probing into what the
April grand jury declared to be the worst
instance Of official corruption ever known
In the history Of any American city.
The present batch of indictments re-
veals conditions that are nothing short
Of astounding. The report closing the
jury's work accuses a former Mayor Of
the city, who previous to that had been
collector, Of receiving interest on public
funds for his own private account; 1t
accuses a retired registrar Of securing
rake-of on printing contracts; it declares
that member Of the present house Of
delegates procured contracts with the
city, using the names Of other individ-
uals and imaginary corporations, and
then, as speaker of the house Of delegates,
approved the vouchers for supplies fur
uished by himself under these assumed
names.
Under such revelations as these the
grand jurors call their discovery an "as-
founding story of corruption" and they
add: 1.-THE villainous venaEty among the
sworn officers and public servants of our
city should awaken every good citizen
to the urgent necessity Of stamping it
out by giving more attention to public
affairs"
In Philadelphia the principal of a pub
lie school testifes that when he applied
for promotion to another school, where
he would have received $2,O65 instead Of
81, $50, one of the directors asked for ST.
900 as a consideration for the election.
When he refused the demand was low
cred gradually to $500. The principal
refused to give anything, although he
knew he was prejudicing his chances,
for two other directors had told him to
listen to what this blackmailing director
had to say and to take his advice" The
principal told his story to the President
of the local School Board, who said the
director should not have made the de-
mands he did, but If the principal was
elected he ought to remember the men
who voted for him.
One woman teacher testified that she
had paid $3.50 for her election in three
monthly installments, but one director
returned $50 to her. Another woman
teacher was asked to pay SIS, but just
as her uncle was about to pay $50 on ac-
count the peculiar methods of the die
rectors were made public. Other wita
nesses told how, in order to get place In
the schools, it was necessary to see the
ward leader and secure his support

PALACES OF VENICE.
The Municipal Authorities Would Not
Permit Their Removal.

The Municipal Authorities Would Not
Permit Their Removal.
William q. Curtis writes to the Chi
cago Record-Herald: Some one haa
taken the trouble to telegraph from
Boston to the European papers, which
contain so little American news, that
Mrs. Sprague of that city has pur-
chased a Venetian palace and intends
to tear 1t down, take the pieces home
and re-erect it in one Of the suburbs, so
as to outshine Mrs. Jack Gardner, who
has built a Medician villa or something
of that sort. Nobody here knows any
thing about Mrs. Sprague or her plans,
but it Is very certain that she will not
be allowed to carry them out. AmeTf-
cans can buy Venetian palaces. Several
have already done so. Some Of the
most beautiful edifices on the Grand
canal belong to americans or have
been bought and restored by the dow
ries of American brides who have mar
ried Italian noblemen. But the NUM-
cipal authorities would not permit any
one to pull down palace and take the
material away. There is a very strict
law in Italy against the export OF
works of art, and member Of the roy
al family even could not sell or give
away a picture Or a statue, ornamental
piece or a pillar from a palace without
the consent of the authorities.
Beautiful examples Of fourteenth and
fifteenth century architecture in the
form Of palaces may be purchased in
Venice all the way from $4,000 up
ward. Only a few months ago the
Palazzo Ca d'Oro, which has often
been called the most beautiful residence
in all the world, and certainly the finest
specimen Of fourteenth century Gothic,
was purchased by Baron Francath for
$4,000. It must have been built some
time between 1910 and 1910, for it's
owner and builder, Ondrea Doro, was
banished as a conspirator in 1910. At
one time the entire front was gilded
and shone like FURNISHED gold. It must
have been a wonder to look at Baron
Francatti intends to restore it, for
building that has stood 700 years, even
in this climate, requires more or less
repair.
