MAY LOSE JERRY BLACK.
Rumor That Popular Santa Fe Man
Will Quit.

1t is reported that W. J. Black, gen
eTal passenger agent of the Santa Fe,
will soon resign to accept a high posi-
ton in the traffic department of the
Rock Island system
1t is impossible to obtain official
confirmation or denial of this report
today. Mr.. Black went to Chicago
Wednesday and will not return till to-
morrow, and for this reason a state
ment is not made from him today.
Rumors have been frequent during
the past month that Mr.. Black would
become identified with the Rock ISL
and. and from an unofficial source it
is stated positively that a change will
occur soon. 1t is not known what
title it is intended Mr.. Black shall
have on the Rock Island
A fact that lends credence to this
report is that w. B. Biddle. formerly
traffic manager of the Santa Fe, re
Gently went to the Rock Island as
third vice president in charge of traf-
fc of all kinds.
Mr. Biddle naturally is acquainted
with the ability and capacity of Mr.
Black, inasmuch as they were closely
associated for many years on the
Santa Fe.
The fact that Mr.. BiddIe was taken
from the Santa Fe and placed in
charge of traffic on the Rock Island
and that Mr.. H. U. Nudge, formerly
general manager of the Santa Fe, has
been secured as second vice president
of the Rock Island in charge of ope-
ration of the system, would indicate
that the Rock Island board of di-
rectors desired to introduce Santa Fe
methods on the Rock Island. It is a
recognized fact that the Santa Fe plan
of operation has been extremely sue
cessful. and the fact that former Santa
F'e men are now in absolute authority
in both the traffic and operating de
partments of the Rock Island is suf-
dcient grounds for the belief
It is stated that it is not the inten-

HUSBAND OF slvEILED LADY,,
VIII Be Tried for swindIng Next
Week in Germany.

Thorn. Prussia Nay -26.-The trial
will begin Monday next of Hellmut
Vessel, formerly a first lieutenant and
instructor in the artillery and en-
gineering school at CharIottenburg
who is charged with swindling. This

fortresses to France.
Vessel is the husband of Matilde
Beaumler, the yelled LADY, of the sec
ond DEeyfus trial. Ine189S he found an
asylum in France and lived there for
some years. Vessel followed a precar-
ious career in Italy where the German
authorities caused his arrest and after
16 months imprisonment secured his
extradition. The opposition Italian
press criticized the government of Italy
for giving up a political fugitive. Yves

ALBERT DAVIS WENT WRONG.
Aged Man Met Two Women and
Lost All His Money.

A man who gave the name of Albert
Davis, but who forgot to name his home
town, was arrested at a late hour last
night for being drunk, and fined SIS in
police court this morning. After he had
been fined Davis announced that he had
been robbed, not by burly footpads but
by a pair of fair damsels whom he met
in North Topeka before he became
drunk enough to arrest. He stated that
he had been robbed by the women of
SAL, the change left from a fifty-doIlar
pile after paying all the bills incidental
to the chance acquaintance. The detec-
tives, having nothing of Importance to
do, have spent the day in questioning all
the women of doubtful character they
could find. Up to a late hour this af-
ternOon none of the subjects of this in
vestigatiOn had volunteered to confess.
Davis is an old, meek looking man who
wears antique garments and glasses.
He not only claims that the women rob-
bed him, but holds them responsible for
the spree which resulted in his arrest.
