with food and light.
At o'clock Patrick j. Kenny. walking
delegate of the Eccentric and Standard
Association Of Engineers, Local No. 20, with
headquarters in East Fifty-fourth street,
walked into the place. Mr.. Kenny is not a
habitue Of the restaurant. He dimes else
where. Instead of entering through the
main door he climbed down into the base
ment. There he found Smith Snedkin
81 years old, bossing the engine room
Snedkin is only fireman.
What are you doing with that engine?"
asked Kenny.
I'm running it. What did you think
wes doing playing golf?" Snedkin re-
piled.
When Kenny explained who he was and
had said few other things, Snedkin
changed his manner and tried to smooth
matters over. The engineer wanted to
take the night of, he said, and did so, know
ing well that the fireman could boss the
job in his absence.
NO matter what you can do, said Kenny,
its against the law for you to be in charge
Of this engine when you haven't license"
Snedkin pleaded to be allowed to go on.
He said that at pinch the restaurant could
supply food from the gas ranges, but pointed
out to Kenny that the patrons would all
leave il the lights went out. But Kenny
ordered him away from the engine and
insisted that he 60 in search of the regular
engineer, one McElroy. While the latter
was being sought Kenny stripped of his
black suit and boiled shirt and superin-

customers. made many trips TO the base
ment and was anxious to treat Mr.. Kenny
to any delicaoy in tie establishment Kenny
said he had dined ON Third avenue and also
had his pipe and tobacco. He could think
OF nothing further he desired.
At 1880 o'clock Snedkin returned with
Engineer McElroy, who appeared to have
donned his working clothes hurriedly.
AS soon as relieved, Kenny washed up,
dressed himself and then, making for the
street, called in Policeman Mcknight.
He had snedkin locked up in the West
Forty-seventh street station, charged with

EGGS IN A TRUNK

A small trunk which came in on the
Great Northern last night was the
cause of no small stir this morning.
While the trunk was simple looking
affair there was an odor about it that
smelled to high heavens. The baggage
man spent last night in much useless
conjecture. One opined that it con-
tanned working model of the Decarie
crematory, while another was of the
opinion that it held somebody's politi-
cal ambitions being shipped to Spokane
for burial.
This morning the police were called
in. Then the health department was
called in.
An energetic health inspector rushed
to the depot with disinfecting appar-
atus. With great solemnity the Id OF
the trunk was opened and in the upper
compartment was found several dozen
hens eggs in an over-ripe condition.
Most of them were broken. In the
bottom of the trunk a quantity OF
wearing apparel was found.

MP. COWLFS IS
A TAX DODGER
Denounces the Railroads Which Have Paid
Their Taxes, and Plans to Beat County
Out of His Own Taxes.

"These taxes will either be paid or
fought out in the courts" said County
Treasurer George Midget this morn :
ing referring to the taxes due from
the Review Publishing company and
from w. H. Cowles personally.
An assessment of s39, $40 against the
Review Publishing company and an
other of SIS. 900 against Mr.. Cowles re-
main unpaid. The latter item is the
amount of the assessed valuation of the
Associated Press franchise or contract
used by the Spokesman-Review and
held by Mr.. Cowles personally. This
tax has not been paid. Mr.. Cowles
through his newspapers has complained
loud and hong about the railroads dodg-
ing taxes and reiterated until the peo-
pie are sick of hearing it that the rail-
roads are not assessed as high as they
should be.

taxes il is of interest to know that
