NEGLIGENCE CHARGED
City Engineer Kelsey Accused of
Not Attending Board
Meetings.

Opener CIawson. chairman of the
board of public works. has written a let
ter to Mayor Ezra Thompson calling his
attention to the fact that L. c. Kelsey.
city engineer, has not attended a meeting
OF the board since June 26. Although
Chairman ClawsOn does not ask that the
city engineer be removed from the posi-
ton as a member of the board for not
attending to his official duties in that
direction. it is thought that such a step
by the mayor would meet with the fun
approval of the head of that municipal
department.
Since the trouble early in the spring
in the board of public works over the en-
ployment Of the chief clerk, there has al
ways been some friction. II is known
that the presence OF the present incun-
bent is obnoxious TO the city engineer.
and il was stated last evening that that
is why Mr.. Kelsey has not attended the
meetings of the board since June 26

shine which quickly passed" The
speakers made impassioned appeals for
the immediate intervention of the pow

pouring out of blood in Macedonia con-
tinued another fortnight, Europe would
find nobody there to save. The Bulgar-

KRUPP ARMoR NO PROTECTION
Experiments In England Raise
Demand for Revelation In
Construction.

The revolutionary changes in naval
construction which are likely to result
from the recent Belle Isle experiments
have caused considerable discussion in
naval circles.
Inquiries made among well-known
naval authorities show that the result
of the experiments makes a drastic
change in the defensive character Of
ships an absolute necessity.
One eminent authority pointed out
the difficulty there would be in adding
to the armored strength OF the vessels.
and expressed the opinion that the
change necessary was great increase
In speed, as ii was practically impos-
sible for a torpedo to be accurately
aimed at a quickly moving target
Two prominent officials in the naval
construction department at Devonport
agreed that a modification in the con-
struction of warships had been made
necessary as the result of the expert
ments.
1T is impossible" added one Of them,
Ito completely armor the underwater
portion of warship owing to the ques-
tion of weight The comparatively
small section of Krupp betting on a
modern battleship weighs already about
1000 tons Now the heaviest armof
yet devised would form an effective pro-
lection against the torpedo.
"The only means, it seems to me, Of
providing against this most potent
method of attack is by great multiple
ctaion OF the water-tight bulkheads with
which every warship is supplied.
There is no denying that the problem Of
torpedo attack is the one with which we
must grapple."

RECALLS DEED OF HERoIsM.
WaterwOrIss Reservoir at Elizabeth,
Ill, to stand ON Site of Black
Hawk Battle.

The building of a reservoir for the
new waterworks system at Elizabeth.
H.. recalls an interesting incident Of
the Black Hawk war. The reservoir will
stand on the site of fort that Black
Hawk sought to capture on the after
noon of August 2, 1892. In the fort were
25 men, women and children, while the
red warrior was supported by at least
$50 braves.
Tradition states that it was the he
roic act of the women that enabled the
little band TO hold out successfully
against apparently overwhelming odds.
Elizabeth Winters, Elizabeth Arm
strong, Rebecca Hit and Elizabeth Van
volkenburg were melting lead into bull
lets when the supply Of lead became ex-
hausted. Two Of these women stole from
the fort and procured a pig Of lead from
an outlying shed. This deed of hero
ism proved successful and Black Hawk
was repulsed. the only loss of the in
mates of the fort being one man, who
was killed.

OLD STORY RECALLED
New Version Of the Tale of Damon
and Pythias.
Furnished By Two Cow Men OF Ari-
xonn Principals Are Made Ae-
Quainfed with Several New
Points OF American Law.

The story OF Damon and Pythias is
recalled by the tie of friendship binding
two Arizona cowmen.
Shorty Dallas and Joe Roberts came
to Arizona from the middle states and
settled In the Blue River country near
Clifton, which to this day remains Sc
cluded and more or less untouched by
civilized ways. Their friendship had no
limitations, SO that when Roberts killed
cattle that belonged to another man
Dallas also broke the law to aid him.
Roberts was caught red handed, but
with big six-shooter in either hand he
shot his way through a circle Of peace
officers who surrounded him. With the
officers hot after him Roberts rode TO
the cabin of Dallas at mad gallop.
Dallas assured the posse in pursuit
that he had not seen Roberts, and be-
Iieved he had fed in another direction.
His statement was accepted in good faith
and no further search was made there.
Roberts rested TRANQUILITY in Dallas
cabin while the search went on. Then he
filled his belt with cartridges, stocked
his sack with 'tjerky" and wended his
way toward that bourne from which gun
men seldom return-Mexico.
When he thought his pal was safe
Dallas went to Clifton and, ignorant OF
the law, told the joke of the undoing Of
the posse The victim Of the joke, Jake
Parks, heard the amusing tale and
sraightway arrested Dallas for the
penitentiary offense of harboring fu-
gitive.
Dallas was placed under bonds and re-
ceived a lesson on the legal require
ments of citizenship in the United
States. Roberts was not far away, and
he learned of his partners troubles. He
announced that he alone should suffer
for the cattle killing, and he surrendered
himself to the authorities to secure the
release of Dallas.
The authorities then lectured him from
modern commentaries, and now both
men are under arrest for felonious in
fringement Of laws, which seems strange
to them.

KEEPS TAB ON HIS ENGINES
How james J. Hill Reduces the Run
ming Expenses on His
Railroads.

James ]. Hill has introduced new
economy out west on the Great North
ern, Northern Pacific and Burlington
railroad system. While 1t has caused
the bookkeepers, trainmen and engin-
GERS much tribulation, it has been found
to pay well.
Each engine on the system has tab
kept on its daily employment. In book
is kept the cost of that particular piece
Of machinery, and against it is charged
every cent of expense for oil, for fuel,
for repairs, for operation, and on the
credit side is given what it earns each
lay based on the tonnage hauled.
If engine No 200 is found to be cost
ing more for oil, fuel or repairs than
engine No. 300 an investigation is at
once instituted The engineer is just
asked to explain. The result is that No.
200 reforms. The same plan is to be
extended to every car on the system,
and the conductors and enginemen who
can make the best showing are down
to get bonuses at the end of the year.
The sole idea is to secure better re-
turns, and while the idea costs many
thousands of dollars in execution, it has
been found greatly to increase earning
power while lessening expense.

Each COLOR TO ITSELF.
How the Cherokee Nation Have
solved for Themselves the
Race Problem.

The race problem in the Cherokee
nation is solved to the general satis-
faction OF the three races concerned
and the intermediary mixed bloods.
says the Kansas City Journal. In the
location Of homes the Cherokee full
bloods and negroes are mostly in set
Elements. The intermarried whites
largely are in towns and territory con-
tiguous to each other. The Cherokee
speaking citizens much prefer TO asso-
ciate together.
In the nation there are 30 schools at
tended by fullblood Cherokee children
and IL by negro children. The negro
blood schools are not SO by legal re-
quirement, but as a corollary Of their
preference to live near each other The
Cherokee and negro do not intermarry
OF socially mingle. Two seminaries
and an orphan asylum are attended
by fullbloods and mixed bloods. only.
the colored high school by negroes
only.
In the Incorporated school districts
whites and Indians attend the same
schools, and race prejudice and undue
feeling on either side are being lost iR
fellowship and friendship cultivated In
the class room and on the playground.
Both sides are better satisfied in the
combined schools than they were when
they were kept separate. Fullbloods
seem to mingle as freely with white
renters and their families Of good char
acter as they do with mixed bloods.
OF the 3S,5O0 citizens of the Chero-
kee nation the best statistical informa-
tion gives about $500 fullbloods. 1920
intermarried whites, 22,SO0 mixed
bloods, and 1000 freedmen.

SILK HAT is DOOMED.
Automobile Has Caused EngIiahmen
TO Discard Their FavoFite Head
gear-Other Changes in Garb.

The annual prophecy that the silk
hat is doomed in London has just been
made, this time with more apparent
reason than ever before. Its knell has
been sounded by the strident horn of
the automobile, at least SO far as the
men are concerned.
On the other hand, this discarded
headgear is coming into fashion with
women for riding in the park, and ev-
cry morning the number of shiny top
pers" or beavers that glisten along Rot
ten row is on the increase.
1t is a fact that one doesn't see as
many men these days in the west end
wearing frock coats and silk hats as
two years ago The miserable weather
and hard times might account to same
extent for this, but Sundays find the
usual number on promenade by the
Achilles statue.
The fact is the Englishman is chang
ing his style of dress. This is due, es-
pecially in the case of those who go
in for automobiling, to the fact that
the silk hat is not always the desirable
thing to wear and neither is frock
coat The new riding hat for women
is called the four in hand. 1t is a mod
ifed resuscitation of the topper" worn
by the drivers Of stage coaches in the
old days, with ostrich plumes on the
side Many tastes run to colors also,
especially silver gray or mouse brown.

"We extend our sympathy to the

on account of the death of the Pope.
His was most beautiful character

Friends, you must remember that the
Roman Catholic Church is true to
Christ and the Gross. Have l not
