BRITISH KINGS HEALTH.
Denial of Rumor That He is in De-

LONDON. March 26.-The vague sugges-
tion of the Liverpool Post that King Ed
ward is in poor health and suffers from
depression does not find confirmation in
well-informed quarters. The king is fire.
Quently seen in public and is apparently in
excellent health and spirits. He left Lon
don this afternoon to visit the Earl OF
Derby at Knowsley Park. Lancashire, and
to see the grand national steeplechase at
Liverpool tomorrow.
He will start on Monday next for Lisbon
and thence he will go on a yachting tour.
Queen Alexandra is is leave the same day
to spend three weeks at Copenhagen, which
is hardly compatible with the suggestion
that King Edward Is in i'll health.

CITY HAS A SITE.
Councils Attention Directed to
Location for Municipal
Office Building
NOW OCCUPIED BY NO. HOSE HOUSE
Not Enough of New Company's Free
Telephones to Go
Around.

Mayor Knox last evening presented
to the city council at its regular meet
ing a plan that he had given some
thought to for the preparation of a
site for a new city hall on the flatiron
square ON Seventeenth street owned
by the city and at present occupied
by the No. hose house.
The mayor did not propose to de-
molish the hose house, but he had
through communicating with a Chi
cago mousse moving firm learned that
it could be moved back to the south
sufficient distance to give room at
the broad north end for a sum not
exceeding $500. This would leave a
vacant space 2I0 feet wide at the
north end for the location of n city
hall. If acted upon the mayor claims
the plan will save to the city an item
of from $4,000 To SIS. 900 for Il site
and will probably bring the realiza-
ton of a building for the city's offices
some years nearer than it would if
the land had to be purchased. The
place proposed. he argued. is central
and accessible to all parts of the city
and from all sides. Upon motion the
matter was left to a committee COM
posed of Aids. Eckhart. Westbay. Bir-
KEEL, McCaskrin, White, Kennedy and
Anderson to investigate as to feasibil-
ity.

sacked Yesterday.
MEMBERS OF FAMILY ARE ABSENT
Tracks Show There Are Two Men
Concerned in the
Job.

Another case of house breaking in
| the absence of the family came TO
the notice of the police last evening
when f. w. Hancock, who rooms at
i the home of his sister, Mrs. Ola Baird.
1924 Fourth avenue, returned home
from his days work in Moline. Mrs.
Baird has been visiting in AIacomb
and Canton several days and Mr.. Han
cock has been the only occupant of
the place.
When he left yesterday morning the
place was locked and when he return
ed. last evening he found a back win
dow raised and everything i'm the
place turned tOpsy-turvy. Going to
his room he discovered that the in
truders had taken about all his cloth
ing. but fortunately overlooking his
watch, which lay on the dresser COW
cred with paper that had been drop
ped over it. How much else was car
ried away will not be known till the
return of Mrs. Baird.
Tell Tale Tracks.
The Job was done some time last
evening. it is believed. Just before
dark. The tracks in the snow outside
the window and those left on the car
pet in the house indicated there were
two men implicated. \ remarkable
fact in connection with the three
cases of this sort that have occurred
during the past two days is that in
each case n residence adjoining a
church has been picked upon as
field of operations.
The police were informed this morn
ing that about a dozen pieces of cloth
ing that were left on the line in the
yard at 22O3 Sixth avenue were stolen
last night.

Aldermen Get the Telephones.

The city fathers have been good to
themselves in the matter of dividing
up the Is telephones that were given
to the city free under the ordinance
granting a franchise TO the Union
Electric Telephone & Telegraph com
pany, according to the statement
made at last evenings meeting by
AID. Eckhart. The matter was called
up by a resolution introduced by AID
Blochlinger for the placing of the
new Instruments in the hose houses
and city offices. Under the ordinance
the company is to furnish the city
the above number for general use
with p on a special circuit for fire
use and similar number on another
circuit for police use. 1t now appears
that there is but one of the free in
struments left for general use. each
of the aldermen having taken one of
them for use in case of urgent calls
for special meetings and other city
business. This being the case the city
will now probably be compelled to
lay out $500 or $40O Il year for tele-
phones for the use of the city em7
ployes and officers. Ala. Blochlinger's
resolution was referred to the fire
and light and police committees.

Turn at the Pest House.

The only question that aroused n
debate last evening was that of the
acceptance of the report of the health
and police committee upon the
awarding of the contract for the re-
modelling of the detention hospital to
Hudson d Collins for the sum of ST.
300 when there were two other lower
bidders. Members of the committee
explained that +. W. Robinson, one
of the bidders, was not a resident of
the city, and that the committee CON
sidered that John Konosky, who bid
$50 lower than the firm that got the
contract, had been disqualified by
twice raising his bid made on IL mis-
understanding of the work that was
to be done. 1t was decided. however
to return to Mr.. KOnosiy his check
for 500 that it had been voted to
keep at the last meeting.
