whose ideas of running a wide-open city
are being investigated again by the grand
jury.
Asked If he would say aught against
his brother yesterday, the former super
intendent of police whose is serving a
term at Saltwater, declared that he would
not.
But Mrs. Fred Ames is said to know
good deal herself, and it is said she
hopes to benefit her husband by telling
it to the grand jurors. She is, moreover,
indignant that her husband should be pun
ished and the former mayor, who is sup
posed to have been the head and front
of the graft offending, allowed to go
free.

MONEY BY BOND ISSUE
Big System Will Borrow $4,000 900 to
Pay for Improvements.

NEW YORK, April 6.-Directors of, the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy have is
sued new bonds aggregating, $4,000, 900,
which will be used, it is said, to fund the
floating debt and short term obligations of
the company, incurred in making general
improvements during the last two years.
A part of the bonds also will be used for
the purchase of equipment.
The new issue will bear interest at the
rate of per cent. and is understood to be
secured by the Illinois divisional mort
gage. This mortgage was made in 1898
and the total authorized issue of bonds
secured by it aggregates $4,000, 600. OF
this amount SAL 900, 600 already have been
issued and bear interest at 81 per cent.
The bonds may be redeemed on any in
terest day after July 1, 1929 at par and
accrued interest for all bonds bearing
interest at a less rate than 315 per cent
and at los and accrued interest for all
bonds at rate not less than 81 per cent
The mortgage, subject to the 1903 con-
soils, which were extended last summer,
is practically blanket mortgage upon all
of the Burlington system east of the Mis-
sissippi river, including the Chicago ter
minals
Arrangements have been made for the
sale of all the entire $14000,000 issue to
bankers here.

OFFICIALS ARE HOME
Northern Pacific Officers Re.
turn From inspection Trip.

President Howard Elliott and Vice
PRESIDENT julie M. Hannaford, of the
Northern Pacific, returned yesterday
from their inspection trip of the COM
panys lines in Montana.
Now that Mr.. Elliott and Mr.. Hannaford
are home, the appointment Of a success
sor to Charles S. Fee as general passen-
ger agent is looked for at any time. In
fact it was intimated at the general Of
fees yesterday that the new general pas
senger agent will be named within a day
or two.
One report in circulation yesterday was
that A: M. Cleland had been appointed
but this rumor was denied at the com
pany's general office. Mr.. CIeland was in
conference with Traffic Manager Hanna
ford and President Elliott yesterday aft
ernoon and it was this that gave color to
the report of his selection.
Among railroad men, John Francis is
talked about as a likely successor to
Mr.. Fee. However, a dispatch from Oma-
ha says that the Burlington man has en-
phatically stated that he will not accept
the position. One story in circulation in
Omaha is that Mr.. Francis is to be made
assistant passenger traffic manager of the
Burlington system. That he is to leave
Omaha seems certain, for the Francis
home has been sold and the family are
making preparations to move.
