ANNOYING THE PRESIDENT.

Reply Sent to Woman Who Leca
tured Him For Sabbath Breaking.
Among the annoyances of a presi-
dents life are the intrusions CT well
intentioned people upon his private
and personal affairs, says Harper'e
Weekly. 7 He is the common property
Of the nation. He has no home, or as
little Of one as the public is compelled
to leave him. He is worse off than any
private citizen in the country in this
respect, for when he and his wife ask
some friends to call on them on GER
tain day Of the week persons who are
not asked and who do not know them
accept the invitation which was not
given them and go also. Not so an
moving perhaps are the people who
open upon the president as teachers Of
personal morality. They have no deli
icacy. They rush in where they are
not asked, and they insist that now the
president Is in the White House he
shall conform his life to theirs, shall
live as they think is right and is
monster Of iniquity If he does not ac-
cept their tutelage. There Is not a
president who has escaped them, and
there never will be until we have a
score or SO of presidents each Of whom
will not heed them, who will not an
swer their letters, who will insist on
having his own habits and on living
according to his own light and not &C
cording to the light Of another
We have recently had a temperance
president who has been called a drunk
ard because some one said he saw him
drink glass Of champagne at dinner.
Denials Of the truth Of the statement
merely whetted the appetite for OBJ
jurgation. And now we have another
president, very abstemious man, who
receives letters nearly every day whose
writer's express the regret that we
have s'winebibber'' in the White
House. These letters, we are told, are
not answered, but reply was sent to
the woman who reminded the presi-
dent of the commandment, six days
shalt thou labor" and then lectured
him for Sabbath breaking. The reply
was written by Secretary Cortelyou
and was this:
81 am directed by the president to
cay that he goes to church on Sunday
morning and takes his wife and chill
dren into the country Sunday after
noon.

IankirsinL,.e for promotic ii.
BY A. J. DODGE IN MILWAUKEE
SENTINEL.

The announcement to-day OF Inc
appointment by President
Roosevelt of Representative
George w. Ray Of New York to
be a federal Judge in that state,
opens the way for the promotion
of Representative John J. Jen-
kins of Chippewa Falls, Wis, to
be chairman of the committee on
the judiciary Of the house OF
representatives.
Judge Jenkins is next in rank
on the committee and there is
little doubt that upon the reas-
sembling of congress in Deem
Der Speaker Henderson will an
nounce his appointment to the
vacancy at the head of the great
committee caused by the retire
ment of Judge Ray.
tits believed that this change
in the craftsmanship of the judi
{ ciary committee means much IN
respect to the subject of anti
trust legislation by congress.
With Judge Jenkins at the
head of the committee the leader
in legislation with respect to law
control of combinations in re-
straint of trade will be in har-
mony with the expressed
opinions of President Roosevelt,
that legislation by congress, even
to the extent of constitutional
amendment. should be carried
out in order to bring these COM
binations within the control of
the federal government.
Judge Jenkins is the author of
a plan for a constitutional
amendment along these lines.
He is one member of the judi
ciary committee who does not
believe that federal control can
be sufficiently exercised under
the Sherman law. He also be-
lieves that the states are power
less to afford relief, unless they
would all act in unison and to a
common end, which, of course, is
not expected.
Judge Jenkins introduced his
measure at the beginning of the
last session, but that, together
with other proposed legislation
on the trust question, failed of
consideration.
Advocate of Federal Trust Control
The Importance of the promo
ton of Jenkins at this time rests
in the fact that il is believed his
plan for federal control of COM
binations more nearly reaches
the mark set by President
Roosevelt, than does any other
plan yet offered. Inview Of the
fact that the essence of the sug-
gestions made from time to time
by the President regarding
trust legislation carries the in
ference that the corporations
which have been united under
single combinations or great cor
porations now commonly known
as trusts can only be reached
when they are made amendable
to federal laws by being incorpor-
ated solely under federal author
ity and subject to the inspection,
attendant publicity and if neces-
sary taxation at the hands of the
federal authority. This would
require an amendment of the
federal constitution to carry out
to the fullest possible extent the
power authorized in the constitu-
ton for control by Congress of
interstate trade.
jenkins Law Sweeping One.
The constitutional amendment
suggested by Judge Jenkins
does all of this. 1t provides for
the control by congress of all
corporations, and gives power to
congress for their regulation or
dissolution. In his comments
upon theplan he suggested Judge
jenkins has insisted that each

TEAR PAPER FROM WALLS.
vandals Enter the Office of the Krug Sand
Company and Commit Depredations.

Vandals Enter the Office of the Krug Sand
Company and Commit Depredations.
For the second time during a period
of two months the property of the
krug Sand company has been the
victim of gang of malicious mis-
chief makers. A short tire ago the
Office of the company was Closed for
the season. This morning when the
manager of the company went to the
office on the north shore of the lake
she discovered that the little building
had been broken open and the paper
which had been used to strengthen the
walls had been torn down.
There seems to be absolutely no rea-
son for this attack on the property Of
the company as the perpetrator could
not hope to gain anything by such an
attack. A short time ago some similar
vandal entered the property of the
company and broke up the wheels of
carts owned by the firm.
There is something of a mystery
about the two assaults and the best
efforts of the police have failed to re.
veal any clew to the wherea bouts of
the people who committed the crime or
their reasons for so doing. Miss Lester
has offered reward for the appre-
hension Of the guilty parties.

the period named amounted to 81, I'LL
754, 200, or an average of $500 per
mile of line; their opera ting expenses
aggregated $1,1O6, 49,, 405, or an aver
age of $5,661 per mile, leaving net
earnings of $6o5, 616,795, or So. 100 per
mile. The item of taxes, amounting
probably to $54, 1000, 900, is not included
in this statement of operating ex-
penses. Compared with the previous
year the net earnings are greater by
some ISL, OOO, 900, and the amount paid
in dividends on stock greater by near
ly $30,OOO,OOO. 1t is interesting to con-
trast this showing with the statistics
for 1897, when the gross earnings av-
eraged So, 122 and the operating ex-
penses 50, 100 per mile of line. AS the
rates, broadly speaking, were about
the same in both years, it follows that
the large increase in earnings resulted
mainly from the increased volume of
traffic.

ORDERS ARRESTS MADE.

Chief of Police Reinold VIII Prevent Tress-
passing on the Park,Lawn.
Chief of Police Reinold has decided
that the rule to prevent people tress-
passing on the lawns of the Centr al
Park shall not be further infringed,
and Monday night he ordered an officer
to keep watch on the place and ar
rest all people attempting to walk
across the lawn. Evidently some one
had given the tip that arrests were
contemplated and the only people who
dared to tramp across the lawn were
two women loaded down with Christ
mas parcels. The officer waited until
the women had tramped down some
twenty feet of the lawn and then
made himself known and threatened
the parties with arrest.
The women pleaded for mercy and
after giving them Lecture which the
two will probably not forget as long
as they live, the officer permitted the
women to go. The officer will be kept
at the park for several days and nights
in order to secure the prosecution OF
some of the people who have not civic
pride enough to assist in keeping the
lawns of the park in good condition.

CONGRESSMAN COOPER thinks that
the rotunda of the capitol should be re-
decorated. In speaking of the matter
to an Associated Press reporter Mr..
Cooper said: eve could well afford to
spend considerable money in redecorat-
ing the rotunda of the capitol. In its
present condition it is anything but a
credit to the nation. Some of the
plaster figures on the walls of the ro-
tunda are anything but slightly. Both
wings of the capitol have been i'm
proved and decorated within recent
years and the rotunda is not now in
keeping with them. Architect Wood
is competent man, and presume he
will soon make some plan for the i'm
provement of the rotunda. do not
believe Congress would hesitate to
make substantial appropriation for
carrying out any scheme which the
architect may present"

time. It is possible that Berg will
consent to come to KenosEa without
requisition papers, but if such should
not be the case the District Attorney
will have the papers issued at once.
1t is said that some of the members
of the lodge of Woodmen Ia the city
are opposed to the prosecution of Berg,
but the surety company which made
good the peculation, will demand that
he be prosecuted to the fullest extent
of the law. At the time Berg left the
city it was thought possible that he
had met with foul play, and it was at
first reported that his populations
would reach several hundred dollars
but It was found on examination that
the amount of money@ chargeable to
him would be less than seventy dol
lars.
Berg always bore good reputation
before this trouble but since his flight
from Kenosha he has made no effort to
restore the money alleged to have been
taken from the Woodme1.

Martin Berg, Former Clerk Of the
Modern Woodmen, Found Living
In Chicago.
CHARGED WITH ENLIGHTENMENT
Warrant for His Arrest Issued Monday
Evening and He VIII Probably be
Brought Back for Trial

Martin Berg, formerly clerk of the
Modern Woodmen, of this city, who
last June decamped from the city and,
according to the allegations of the
members of the lodge, carried with
him some of the funds of the orde;.,
has been located in Chicago and it is
probable that he will be brought back
to Kenosha to stand trial on charge
Of embezz1ement.
Monday afternoon one of the officers
appeared before the District Attorney
and swore out complaint for the ar.
rest of Berg, charging him with the
embezzlement of the funds of the
order to the amount of sixty dollars.
The money taken by the former clerk
was not lost by the order as the secur-
ity company which furnished the
bonds for Berg, made good the short.
age but it has insisted that the mem.
bers of the lodge in this city stand
back of the prosecution and see to il
that Berg is punished for his crime ii
his guilt can be shown.
Berg left Kenosha early in June, and
since that time he has been living IN
Chicago under the name of Charlie
Johnson. For some time, former
Chief of Police Timme, now Sheriff.
Elect of the county, had taken an
active interest in the search for Berg.
Some time ago Timme learned that
Berg was living in Chicago, bat his
efforts to find the exact whereabouts
of the man seemed to be blocked. But
the way for his discovery came
through the wife he had deserted al
the time he left Kenosha. Mrs. Berg
has been living in Racine and several
times lately the husband had written
letters to her trying to get her to send
the children to him in Chicago.
Through these letters the policeman
managed finally to locate Berg, and he
is now living on State street in Chica'
go. No one in Kenosha has ever
heard from him and it seems that his
wife and the officer who is now after
him are the only two people who man
aged to find out his secret. The war.
rant was issued for the arrest of Berg
Monday afternoon and was given in
the hands of Mr.. Timme, who expects
to secure the arrest of Berg in "a short
