orial prepared in behalf Of Estes e.,

the acquittal Of Rathbone instead OF
his conviction. Senator Hanna had

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
SUPT. NEARY SAYS 1T SHOULD BE
CENTRALIZED IN
CITY HALL
IN DANGER OF DESTRUCTION
Wires Are Now Carried in COnduits
of and End in Building of
Northwestern Telephone
Company.

st. Paurs fire alarm system is in
danger. This is the opinion of Superin-
tendent of Fire Alarm Neary and he has
communicated his fears to the board of
fire commissioners with the recommended
ton that it proceed without delay to re-
move the trouble.
Under the terms Of franchises now con-
trolled by the two local telephone com
panies all condu;ts and poles owned by
them are subject at any time to use by
the fire department, and the companies,
without cost to the city must maintain
the cables and wires which constitute the
local telegraph and fire alarm system.
These cables and wires terminate in the
receiving station of the Northwestern
Telephone company and from there COM
municate with the alarm plant in the
basement of the city hall and the in
struments stationed in the various en-
CINE houses.
In his annual report submitted to the
board Of fire commissioners last night
Supt. Neary mentions this arrangement
and points out the fact that the depart
ment faces an element of danger it lit
tie realizes.
Should fire menace the receiving station
of this telephone company, St. PauPs en-
tire alarm system would be jeopardized
and, II destroyed, much time would elapse
before it could be placed back in service
He recommends that either the city own
its own conduits, or take charge Of the
cables and wires to the extent of placing
them beyond any danger by fire or other
cause. Then should, he says, end direct
ly in the receiving station at the city
hall.
LIE report was seriously considered by
the commission and together with other
important matters, turned over to the
commttee on fire alarms to investigate.

EXPERT SAFE OPENER.

If there is any man in the world that
could transform himself into an efficient
burglar 1t is the expert on combinations
up in the office of the safe trust. This
man knows more about locks and vaults
than all the bank robbers in the country.
He can open a safe in Boston by tele-
phone in five minutes, ordinarily. If a
bank in Philadelphia loses it's combina-
ton there Is tumultuous ringing of
phone bells in the trusts office, and the
boy at the switchboard shouts wildly for
the expert
well, what is it?" the opener of vaults
shouts into the mouthpiece, his tone
showing that he is accustomed to such
calls.
This is the = bank. The presidents
gone home. and the cashiers sick I'm
Mr.. -. Give me the figures, please
The opener satisfies himself that the
right man is on the other end. Then he
looks up his records, if he does not hap
pen to remember the figures wanted. It
is only matter of few minutes before
he is back at the phone, and in as many
more minutes the vault in Philadelphia is
opened.
1t happened the other day that a Bos-
ton trust company was in trouble about
its combination. The safe concern was
called up, and the lock expert was sum-
mcned to the receiver. The usual request
followed, but by some chance the opener .
good memory had forsaken him, and he
had no record of the particular lock IN
question. The Boston officials SWore loud
ly over the wire. It was no use, though,
and finally they had to give it up.
Not long after the wire had been va
Gated there was another ring and the
Opener found himself again in conversa-
ton with the same people. This time 1t
was a request that he come to Boston at
once, hiring a special train if necessary.
II can't come he answered. There
too much to do here in office hours. I'll
take the regular train Sunday
Argument was of no avail, and the
Boston bankers had to wait. The COM
bination was lost on Wednesday, and for
the next four days they had to borrow
all the cash they needed from other com
panies. The inconveniepces they endured
by reason Of inaccessible papers may be
imagined.
This did not worry the expert, how
ever, for he knew that nobody else could
I'LL his place as well as he and so there
was no danger of his being discharged.
He had been with the safe concern for a
great many years, ard his imperturbabil-
lty was not to be upset by a trust COM
panys temporary troubles. He left the
ONCE at the usual time every day, had
his dinner at home and slept lust as
easily during those four days as though
there We're no such things as bank safes.
In speaking of the occurrence he said:
Why didn't l go? The idea! Do YOU
know there are six or eight banks that
lose their figures every day? It was
better to leave one of them in a lurch for
tour days than to have all in trouble fo7.

All the blows were light. Erne put two
lefts to Gamers jaw as the round closed,
the second blow being a vicious one that
shook Gardner badly.
The third round was repetition of the

counters Gardner went to his corner

stream from his nose and mouth. The
fourth and fifth rounds were bit live

ter, but with poor success.
In the last round Gardner was stag

he left his corner. Erne shot them IN

around the ring trying to protect himself.
Reused by the yells of the crowd he made
brief stand, sending his left to Erne s

he caught Erne on the back of the head

amendment provided that the lease or
grant of this water power should be to
