TRAMPS STOLE AN ENGINE
And Tied up Part of the Chicago
 and Northwestern

The Engine Was Taken from the
 Gravel Pit-Under Full Head of Steam the Men Got Away.
 Warnings Sent All Along the Line to Head them Off.
 Janesville. Wis, Oct 23.-The theft of a locomotive by six tramps has stopped all traffic for a long stretch on the Chicago & Northwestern rail- road. At II o'clock last night the men stole locomotive from the gravel pit near Beloit and started south at full speed. The theft was not known un- til the engine was seen leaving Beloit with the throttle wide open and the men yelling defiance to the railroad men who had discovered that the en- zine had been stolen too late to turn the switch and stop the runaway. The railroad men then sent out warnings to ali nearby points to hold trains on sldings until the locomotive could be located
 Meanwhile it was learned that they had abandoned the engine letting 1t run wild at full speed. It will not be found until the steam runs down and it stops.
 Tlle movements of the men show that they are endeayoring to escape Wisconsin officers after having com nlitted some crime.
 As soon as the! Janesville railroad office was notified the train dispatch CTS stopped every train between Janesville and Caledonia, Ills. The Chicago officials of the division were called out and emergency crews start ed with officers in pursuit of the fugi- tiyes.

Democratic Aldermen Scored
 By Republicans
WORK IS NOT STANDING STILL

And Work Ordered is Not All in Dem ocratic Districts Aldermen Blakess' lee is Asked Few Pointed Cues
 tions Looks Like Political Trick
 It is a question whether 1t pays tos take any notice of what is being said about the conduct of the democratic members of the board of aldermen4 Most Of it is so silly and the shots so wide of the mark that people who know anything about city affairs cans not help ''snickering' at 1t. But 1t ia no harm to show how much some of those who are anxious to enlighten the public upon this matter know about the subject. For example, 1t is all legged that some of the lights recom- mended by the department of public works will be located in democratic wards and that residents of these dis tricts are beginning to make a howl because their representatives are res chamber and thus preventing that board from getting chance to order the lights installed and make things more comfortable for people who re. side in the democratic wards. This is long ways from the facts. The board of public works had an outing last Friday and voted to recon mend to the aldermen that electric arc lights be installed at the following places: Corner of West Main street and Leavenworth street; corner of Spark street and Park avenue; Meadow street, opposite the Naugatuck freight depot; Bank street near Randolph 6s Cloves; three in the third ward and one in the first If these are demo- cratic wards the counters bIundered at the last city election, each being record1 ed as republican by pretty snug ma jorities. But what's the, use of dis cussing such rot.
 Alderman Blakeslee says the abs sence Of the democrats means the hold- ing back of business that Is badly needed in the democratic wards. This would carry more weight than the other wild assertions. The alderman is member of the board of public works and naturally people would con clude that he knew what he was talk ing about Now, then, 1t is no harm to ask MT BlakesIee if he will be kind enough to mention one job, large or small, in the. democratic wards or in any other ward for that matter. that is being held up because the aldermen have not held a meeting within the past few weeks. Come now, Biakeslee: no beating around the bush. To be sure there is routine work accumulat- ing that ought to be passed along but nothing is suffering. There are no new projects to be taken hold of for the bai- ance of the season, and no transfers to be made at this time because such ac ton would not be legal until after the first of the next month,
 This is not intended as a defense Of democrats or republicans who want 10 be aldermen. but neglect to attend to the duties of the office. It is protest against the r1isrepresentation on the pant of interruptions men who are aim ing to build up regulations for them selves as public officials by heaping contumely upon the heads of their neighbors.

ANornsR DEaocRAtIo LEADER

Undoubtedly one of the Demo
cratic leaders and one of the ablest
men in the House of Representatives
is the Hon. David A. De Almond.
OF Missouri. Judge De Almond has
been In Congress since 1890, hav-
ing been first elected to the Fifty
second Congress and reelected to
each succeeding Congress. He is
one of the ablest lawyers in the Con-
gress and member of Com
mittee on Judiciary. He was the
choice of the Missouri delegation
for the caucus nomination for
Speaker in the Fifty-eight Congress
when 1t convenes, but he refused to
stand for the nomination, and the
choice then fell to Hon. Champ
Clark. II the Democrats had car
ried the House he undoubtedly
would have been candidate for
Speaker, but he did not care to
undertake to harmonic the fac
tons in the party in the House as
the floor leader. The Judge realizes
his shortcomings as a good mixer
with men. He has none OF the bon
homme camaraderie characteristics
in his mental makeup. He is short
on cheap talk and long on thinking.
He is essentially thinker and a
student, and never loses any time
INDUCING in cloak-room stories.
He does not inspire affection, but
compels admiration from his Dem
ocratic colleagues, and is feared
and disliked by the Republicans.
He is the greatest verbal eviscerator
in the House, and can perform the
neatest job of skinning and cutting
an opponent of any man in the Con-
gress. He is human wasp, and
his singer is always ready for bust
ness. He is not an orator, in the
true sense of the word, for he has
monotonus and metallic voice that
is not pleasant, and he rarely ges-
ticulates. His diction, however,
is almost perfect, and he is one of
the few men in Congress who never
correct the reporters notes for in
sertion in the Record. When he
gets through his speech is a finished
production AS sample of his
dexterity with scalped and rapier,
ne once said of an opponet, who
had a penchant for spilling large
gobs of printers ink and volumin-
ously vociferating to the reporters:
"He is, Mr.. Chairman, the most re-
markable man | ever knew. When
he is not writing he is talking, and
when he is not talking he is writing,
and does both without thinking"
Judge De Almond is an amiable
and kindly gentleman, ripe
scholar, an able lawyer, and a splen-
did legislator. His retirement from
Congress would be a distinct loss to
the Democratic party and to the
nation.
