Senator John M. Whitehead Of
GAINESVILLE has announced himself q
candidate for the Republican nomin-
alton for governor. The formal an
nouncement came in the form Of a
public letter written by Mr.. Whitehead
in response to the call which has been
circulated in his behalf throughout the
state.
As to Mr. Whitehead's personality
and equipment for the office which he
seeks, Wisconsin Republicans need
have no fears that he will prove dis
appointment His strict integrity,
high motives. deliberative judgment
and conscientious devotion to duty have
been fully established. He is no ex-
pertinent as man of affairs, he is well
posted on matters of public concern,
and he has the energy, determination
and tact which are. quite essential to
the incumbent of the governors chair.
He is Independent and fearless, but he
does not carry his independence to the
point of driving his party associates
from him, and herein lies his great
strength. Bay Gazette.

General Jacob II. Smith, who has been
charged by Major Waller with ordering the
determination OF all natives Of Samar over
the age OF 10 years, for which he is to be
court martialed, entered the Second Ken

captain in that regiment in 1862, He was
mustered out In 1863 and became a captain
OF the Veteran Reserve Corps, being mus
tered out from that organization in 1865.
He was commissioned a captain In the
Thirteenth infantry in 1867. He was pro-
NOTED to major the same year and made
judge advocate. In 1894 he was appointed

Beyond all OF this, a short time ago
this matter was brought to the attention
OF the American Bankers Protective asso-
citation, who were requested to make an
investigation. They did so and made two
official reports, which are somewhat
lengthy, copies Of which we have. in which
they pronounce the whole matter a fake.
1t is plain, then, that whoever is trying
to advertise some form OF electrical burglar
alarm has seriously overstepped the mark.
We have kept a list OF over 400 bank rob,
berries that have occurred in the last five
years, and not a single instance was there
where the safe was robbed with an cleo,

Interview with him in which he learned
that these newspaper reports that are going
the rounds have no foundation in fact. In
order to get at the bottom Of the matter,
we addressed the following letter to the
secretary Of the treasury:

Certain articles have been published in the
New York Herald and other papers within
the last week or ten days regarding expert
ments on metals used in safe and vault con
struction, with a compound called thermlte
and with electricity, by experts Of the
United States Treasury department, in
which articles the announcement is made
that no safes or vaults are burglar proof.
Having had no official notification OF these
tests we request to be informed as TO
whether your department or your experts
have conducted or witnessed any tests
with thermite or electricity upon
manganese steel or upon safes and vaults
constructed Of this material, and is

MALTA he would need is altogether too cum
bersome. This matter was brought cut by
the papers something like six or eight years
ago, and a like attempt was made to con-
denim all safes and vaults by a Chicago con-
Germ who have an electrical burglar alarm
for sale.
In the articles above referred to there are
quoted conclusions said to have been
reached by experts of the United States
Treasury department as follows:
"First-That the best types OF safes or
vaults are not invulnerable to the attack
of the expert burglar.
"SeCond-That the ordinary or obsolete
types Of safes or vaults constructed rela-
lively a few years ago are not invulnerable
to the attacks OF the amateur burglar.
"Third-That should. by any combination
OF circumstances, sufficient opportunity be
afforded expert cracksmen, any safe or
vault can be opened.
"FOuTth-That a satisfactory form OF
electrical protection is both obtainable and
desirable for all vaults and safes where
ever applicable and constitutes a form OF
protection superior to that afforded by the
construction of the vaults or safes them
selves"

To the above we received the following
reply:

We also find that we were not alone in
making inquiry OF the Treasury depart-
ment, but that Mr.. s.. d. Drury, treasurer
OF the Northampton Institution for Saw

to the Treasury department regarding the
electrical experiments reported to have
been made for them by this man Haeschke.

forced to flee with his wife and children by

this Is may be imagined by looking at the

over the rails nearly fifty yards each time
the hand moves. II the engineer looks at
the steam gauge, his engine has covered
the distance OF a city block during the

nightfall It means a great deal more.
Steam gauge. air gauge, water gauge, all
must be watched by both engineer and
fireman, and the one must also watch the
track while the other attends to the fur
mace. 1t Is easy to understand that social
conversation is rarely INDUCED on a
locomotive when making ninety-nine miles
an hour, II the locomotive has driving
wheels Of seven feet in diameter, they must
revolve seven times a second to attain a
speed Of ninety-nine miles an hour. All
the tremendous weight OF metal contained
in p%istons, cross-heads, d~riving-rods,
valves, rocker shafts and eccentric blades,
must be started and stopped fourteen times
in each second. II the piston has a stroke

average Of the modern high-speed Iocomo-
tives-each will travel back and forth
thirty-two and two-thirds feet per second,
or at a rate of nearly twenty-five and one
fourth miles per hour. These are some Of
the things that go on when the train is
running at the rate Of ninety nine miles an
hour.

experts.
First, with a compound called thermite.
Second, with an electrical appliance used
on safes and vaults.
From these tests the deduction Is an
