BIG IRRIGATION SCHEME

TORONTO. Ont, July 1.-THE ir-
risation scheme which the Canadian
Pacific has now under way is un-
doubtedly the largest undertaking of
it's kind on this continent. 1t en-
braces an area extending from Call
gary for 150 miles, and runs so miles
north and south. Through the center
of this tract the main line of the
Canadian Pacific runs. The greater
part of three years have been devoted
to reconnaissance and preliminary
surveys of the proposed canal scheme
and the land to be served therefrom.
and the result shows that about one
half, or 100000 acres OF the block
can be irrigated at an ultimate cost
of between si.00O,000 and $4,000. 900.

CRIME is EXPLAINED
Murdered Man Had Detected
WrOngdOing.

NEW YORK, April 25.-Frank Nc
Namara, who shot and killed Capt.
George R. Jennings, president of the
Jennings Adjustable Shade company, of
Brooklyn, on Feb. Is, pleaded guilty to
murder in the first degree today. He
viii be sentenced to Sing Sing for life.
The plea Of guilty was entered on the
advice Of counsel because of evidence
obtained in Chicago. One of the wit
uesses was Henry F. Cook, secretary
and treasurer of the Fahys Watch Case
company, where Mcnamara was en-
plOyed as assistant foreman for fifteen
years. Mr.. Cook charges that McNa-
mara stole $4,000 worth of gold from
the factory during the last three years
Of his employment. He gathered the
sweepings from the floor and sold them
to a Chicago jewelry firm. For his last
theft Mcnamara received a draft for
$4,000.
He was then in Brooklyn, and induced
Capt. Jennings, who knew of moth
ing wrong in the matter, to allow the
draft to be deposited to his account in
the borough bank. It was then agreed
that Mcnamara should withdraw the
money in sums of $500. Later Jennings
discovered how Mcnamara obtained the
money and refused to let him have any
more Of 1t until he had obtained a re-
lease from the Fahys company. Nc
Namara then made up his mind to kill
Jennings.

Registration.

Evidence of a cheap political trick
arranged by the Republican city COM

when County Attorney Kane issued six
warrants for illegal registration on
primary election day, March 10, the
men charged with the offense being
named Charles Adams c. Lake, H. c.
Wilson, P. Johnson, Simon Olson and
Henry Williams. all persons easily
identified by reading the entire city di-
rectory.
All obtainable evidence points to the
fact that the entire affair was planned
by the Republican committeeman and
held back TO be sprung on the eve OF
election, the idea being that a great
many people would be frightened into
believing the truthfulness Of the
charges without investigation and lay
ing the Offense to the Democrats.
Three of the dummy offenders, for
such they are pronounced by all IA
miliar with the situation, were located
in house at 123 West Fourth street
and the other three at 13O West Fourth,
which is almost directly across the
street. Both houses are located in the

ROB AN HISTORIC
TOMB Of ITS DEAD
SepulCher of the Livinqstons
Desecrated, and Soldiers
Dust Disturbed.

HUDSON, n. Y. April 25. = The
startling discovery was made today
that the family tomb of the Living
stons. on the nearby ancient Living
ston manor place, had been broken open
on Saturday night and robbed of its
dead.
The body taken away, and of which
there is no trace, was that of the wife
Of Gen. Henry w. Livingston ("Fight-
ing Harry'),. famous half a century ago
for her beauty, wealth and social pres
tige and known. because of her undy-
ing fidelity to the memory of her hus-
band, as the Widow Mary"
The metallic coffin IN which the body
was sealed forty-five years ago was
also carried off. That in which Gen.
Livingston was laid aPIuarter of a CEN
,tury earlier was demolished and the
bones of the dead soldier were strewn
about the vault. The winding sheet in
which he was wrapped, and which had
all but crumbled into dust, was thrown
upon the marble floor and partially
covered the skull.
A third coffin, with the body II con-
tanned, is gone as completely as is that
of Mrs. Livingston. The identity Of the
occupant of this casket is not vet
known. All of the other coffins in the
vault had been pried open and the
bones of the occupants had been dump
ed out.
The people Of all this section are
greatly aroused over the desecration of
the historic tomb. Which has been the
resting place of members of the illus
trious Livingston family ever since the
days of the Dutch regime.

PARTS WITH ONE LEG
Doctor Escapes Death Almost
by Miracle.
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe.
WINONA, Mimi, April 25.-Dr D.
B. Pritchard, one Of the leading phy-
sicians Of the city, who was severely
injured in a runaway accident on
Stockton bluff two weeks ago, has sue
cessfully undergone an operation for
the removal of his leg five inches above
the knee. The lower part of the limb
was terribly mangled in the fall.
The accident was caused by one Of
the bits breaking on a steep part Of
the hill. In trying to remedy the trou-
bic the doctor was drawn over the
dashboard and his foot caught in front
of the front wheels. The horses kept
to the road for half a mile, with the
doctor underneath the vehicle, he hav-
ing secured a handhold and prevent
ed his head from dragging in the road.
Then the team went over the side Of
the bluff and the carriage turned over
and over in going down 100 feet. The
top was smashed to pieces, and it was
only the doctors partially sheltered
position underneath that saved him
from being pounded to a jelly.
