A SUMMER SIREN.

We met beside the ocean.
In bathing spits attired;
She smiled on my devotion
I worshiped-and aspired
My cup with joy was trimming
When she permitted me
To teach her fancy swimming.
And thanked me graciously.
It did not stop at diving
And summing on the sand:
l dared to take her driving,
And even squeezed her hand.
I dreamed that in the city
My love I might declare,
And look with scornful pity
On all her suitors there.
But, loi when I intruded
In her Manhattan set,
I might have been included
With those she'd never met.
The story needs no trimming
I learned the difference grim
'Twixt Dorothy in swimming
And Derry sin the SWIM

RAILWAYS WANT
JUDGE GROSSCUP
Eminent Jurist Has Flatter-
ing Offer From Northern
Securities Company.
SEEKING BEST LEGAL TALENT
MiIIlonaires Who Are Fighting the
Government Effort to Break Up the
Great Railroad Combine Are Willing
to Spend Their Money Lavishiy.

Chicago, ILL.,. special: Seeking the
ablest jurists in the country to con-
duct it's legal battle with the United
States government, the Northern Sc
curities company is making strong
effort to enlist the services OF Judge
Peter S. Grosscup of the Federal court
to argue its cause when the case in
volving the legality of the organiza-
ton is heard in the United States SUI
preme court this fall.
Judge Grosscup's acceptance of the
tempting offer made him by the mil
lionaires behind the Northern Secur-
tiles company is said by men closely
in touch with his affairs to be prac-
tically certain. In the absence of the
Judge from Chicago, Marshall E.
Sampsell, one of his most intimate
friends, said that the offer has been
under consideration for some time,
and that in all probability the Judge
would accept.
Offer Is Tempting.
While the conditions of the offer
made by the railroad magnates were
not divulged, it is admitted that they
were "flattering" The only barrier to
Judge Grosscup's immediate accept
ance, his friends say, lay in his desire
to bring the local traction fight to a
successful issue. On this account
Judge Grosscup is loath to leave the
Federal bench just at this time.
Already some of the ablest law
yers in the country have taken part
in the legal battle the Northern Securi-
ties company is waging against the
United States government. To the
men who are fighting the governments
attempt to break up this railroad COM
bine money is no object, and the fee
offered to secure the services Of Judge
Grosscup, who is recognized as one of
the foremost authorities on antitrust
legislation In the country, is said to
be unusually large.
h Great Array Of Lawyers.
The government has been repre-
scented in the prosecution by Attor-
ney General Knox, his assistants, Jas.
M. Beck and William A. Day, and
Special Counsel David T. Watson and
John M. Freeman. The principal ar
gument was made by Mr.. Watson,
who is now representing the American
boundary case in London.
The defendant corporations and
stockholders employed men of equal
note. One of the leading counsel for
the defense was G. w. Bum, son of
Judge Romance Bum of the Wiscon-
sin Federal bench. Among the other
legal aids for the defense were former
Attorney General ]. w. Griggs, Fran
els l.. Stetson, David Wilcox George
b. Young and M. ID. Grover.
Notwithstanding this array of
skilled attorneys, the defense lost its
fight in the st. Paul court last April.
The case was then appealed to the SUI
preme court, and it has been advanced
for hearing at an early date.
Rulings Are Sound.
Judge Grosscup has gained national

SIX MORE INDICTMENTS
IN THE POSTAL SCANDAL
Grand Jury VIII Soon Complete It's
Work and Prosecutions Win
BE Taken Up.

Washington. Sept. 26.--Six more in.
dictments will be found by the feder-
al grand jury against persons in.
volved in the postal scandals not later
than Oct. 5. This will complete the
postal investigation, and in short
time prosecutions will begin. Post
master General Payne returned from
his vacation and spent nearly the
whole day In conference with Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow and
Assistant Attorney General Robb,
Informing himself of the developments
In the postal scandals since he left
Washington several weeks ago.
Upon the presidents return Mr..
Payne will see the chief executive.
and the situation regarding the scan
dals-past, present and future-will
be discussed. Mr.. Payne is greatly
improved In health. and asserted he is
prepared to remain at his post "as
long as school keeps" In discussing
the frauds and indictments Mr.. Payne
said
"The investigation may be consid-
cred as practically concluded when the
federal grand jury of the District of
Columbia, which is now in session,
finishes its work and brings In num-
Der of additional indictments. As the
grand jury will adjourn Oct. s, 1t is
reasonable to suppose these expected
indictments-the final work of that
federal body-will not be delayed.
There are six more indictments to be
brought in, not all of which. however.
are against persons not already in
dicted by the grand jurors In Wash.

Robbers Set Off Charge of
Dynamite by Means of
Electric Wire.
SECURE SATCHEL WITH $500
Contractor Is Killed and Bookkeeper
is Seriously Wounded on the Way
to Camp to Pay OF the Workmen---
Two Men Under Arrest.

Washington, Pa, Sept. 2S.-Samuel
T, Ferguson of the Ferguson Construc-
ton company OF Pittsburg was killed
instantly, and his bookkeeper, Charles
l.. Martin, SO years old, OF Cincinnati,
was injured fatally by an explosion of
dynamite placed in the road by two
men for the purpose of robbery,
The crime was committed In broad
daylight, the dynamite being explod-
ed by an electric battery. Mrs. Fer
guson, widow of the contractor. is In
serious condition as n result of the
tragedy.
The robbers secured about $4,000.
The murder and robbery took place
near the village of West Middletown,
fifteen miles from here. Two sus.
poets are under arrest in the camp of
the construction company, but farmers
believe they have one OF them at bay
in an abandoned coal mine about a
mile and half northeast of West
Middletown.
Use Electric Battery.
The scene of the crime Is a ravine
flanked on one side by clump of
small trees and on the other by a
sloping field, The dynamite In the
middle Of the road was connected by
means of small insulated copper
wire to battery In the trees.
Ferguson and Martin came to Wash
ington en- route to camp TO pay their
men. They placed the money, $4,000,
in large satchel, which they lodged
firmly between them in the front of n
buggy drawn by two horses. Both
men were armed.
Evidently as the vehicle containing
Ferguson and Martin stepped on a
small .culvert the highwaymen pushed
the button and the explosive was set
off, the money was taken, and the rob.
bers escaped
Wait for Victims.
The work of the men evidently was
well planned and carried out carefully.
A score of sticks of dynamite must
have been imbedded beneath the cul,
vert. Leading from the dynamite d.
rectly In the center of the highway
was sixty feet of fine copper wire care
fully insulated. This wire connected
with the battery found in the trees
Just prior to the approach Of Ferguson
and Martin several vehicles had passed
over the dynamite, but the occupants
were not molested.
Besides the battery In the bushes
was double barrel shotgun, loaded.
Two Are Arrested.
Two men who had been employed
at the camp at various times and dis,
charged repeatedly came into camp
and were arrested by Camp Boss Isaac
Smith. Smith believes he has the
guilty men, but will not divulge their
names until they are turned over to
the proper authorities. For fear of
lynching Smith will keep his prisoners
heavily guarded.
In an abandoned coal mine on the
farm of John Patterson, about quar-.
ter of a mile from the scene of the
killing, fresh foot tracks were dis.
covered leading into the mine, and the
farmers believe they have one of the
men located inside.

INDICTMENT FOR
REFORM MAYOR.
Executive Of NATION Faces
Trial on Charge Of NAL
feasance In Office.
CITIZENS AID IN PROSECUTION
Allegation Is Made That He Soon
Broke His Pledges and Permitted
Gaming and Other Vices to Flourish
In Wide-open Fashion.

Nation, ILL.,, Sept. 2S.-Mattoon's
reform mayor, Frances NJ. Mehke, has
been indicted upon Twenty-Five counts
charging him with malfeasance and
misfeasance in Office. At the same
time the grand jury returned nineteen
true bills against saloonkeepers, gamb.
lers and keepers of houses of i'll re.
pute. The action came after three
weeks session, during which evidence
was presented by citizens who had be-
come incensed over the immoral state
Of conditions existing in the city.
Mayor Menke was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Pullen and taken be-
fore Judge Henley, who placed his
bond at $4,000. His attorney, b. II.
Tivnen, protested against the amount
Of bail and 1t was reduced to $4,000.
The mayor succeeded In giving bond.
Is Elected by Reformers.
A citizens committee has employed
Emery Andrews, ex-state's attorney Of
Coles county, and James Vause, Jr.,
to assist States Attorney Voigt in the
prosecution, and the contest promises
to be vigorous one.
Mayor Menke is accused of enter
ing into contracts with gaming houses,
immoral places and Sunday saloons.
The indictment Is a result.
Menke was nominated by the Repub-
hcans and elected to Office on his
pledges made to the churches and the
reform element that he would close up
the gaming houses, make the twenty
tour saloons in the city obey the Sun.
lay and early closing laws, and drive
out the houses of i'll fame. The latter
evil has appropriated that portion of
the city in proximity to the Presbyter-
tan, Catholic, Baptist and Universalist
churches and the Nation high school.
T.. Gusts Police Chief.
For two weeks after Mayor Menke
took his seat the city was run almost
on a blue-law plan, even the cigar
wheels of the city being closed up.
The second Sunday he changed his
policy and allowed the saloons to open.
Chief of Police Dennis Lyons re-
fused to carry out the instructions of
the mayor and let the town be wide
open" The mayor removed him from
office. A public mass meeting was held
and the mayor was forced to place
Mr.. Lyons back at the head of the de.
partment. The chief then resigned.
He was succeeded by Elmer Ramsey,
Big Four passenger brakeman, and q
brotherin-law to Alderman Haskell, a
Democrat, yet one Of the chief sup.
porters of Mayor Menke. Lee Henry,
an attache of gambling house, was
appointed assistant chief of police.
The churches and citizens then started
a crusade. which resulted in the indict-
ment.

of Appeals, with Justice Fuller pre-
siding. Another widely known deci.
sion was that given by Judge Gross
cup and the late Judge w. A. Woods
jointly in the Debs riot case. The
opinion in that case Is often quoted as
an authority on the powers of courts
of equity.
Close Friend of Presidents.
Judge Grosscup is just past the
half-century mark, having been born
Feb. Is, 1852. He has been close
friend of several presidents of the
United States While taking no &C.
tive part in politics, he was mentioned
a few months ago as likely candi-
date for vice president on the Repub-
lican ticket. Besides this, he has been
mentioned occasionally as probable
appointee for the Supreme bench.
While his present position pays only
$500 annually, the honor of the Of.
fee is said to count for much with
the Judge.
