\ Members of the library board APP
peared before the city council yester-
day, requesting that a piece of ground
100 by $50 feet in the center Of Central
park be Immediately set aside for the
library building, which they hope TO
be able to erect there some time in tina

Councilman Smith moved, that they
be given any quarter of the park they
desired, 300 feet square, but objected
to them occupying the center, as their
building would then interfere with any
other public buildings which it migh'
be convenient or necessary to locate in

After wrangle, during which much

NEW YORK, March 20.-Former
Chief Justice Alton B. Parker of New
York state court of appeals said today
that he would not consider any pro-
position to return to the bench.
1t has been rumored that an effort
would be made to induce Judge Parker
to return to the bench, the suggestion
being that he should succeed Presiding
Justice Van Brunt of the New York
state supreme court, whose term ex-
pires on December 81 next.
When asked about the report Judge
Parker said that before he had re-
signed as chief justice he had con-
sidered very carefully his obligations
toward the bench, the bar and the pub
lie and had reached the conclusion that
having accepted the nomination for
president, it was his duty to sever
his connection with the bench, not
merely for the campaign, but for all
time.

OMAHA, March 2O.--Horace q. Burr
former president of the Union Pacific,
has been offered 100000 year to dl-
rect the construction Of the Panama
canal, according to the statement of a
president of an Omaha bank today.
This bank president is a close friend
of Mr.. Burt, and he said the railroad
man had been approached several times
on the subject by persons representing
President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Burt is now travelling in Europe.
and the last letter from him received
at Omaha, was dated in Rome. Febru-
ary 20. 1t is believed he Is now in VIZ
emma.
Whether Mr.. Burt would consent to
devote ten years Of his life to this task,
spending most of his time on the 18TH
mus, is a question which none of his
friends are able to answer.
Should he accept the offer and be-
come the Napoleon whose services the
president is seeking, 1t would give him
rank ahead of Chief Engineer Wallace.
Railroad men are of the opinion that
the great work which Mr.. Burt per-
formed in the reorganization of the
Union Pacific railroad is the reason for
his being offered the control of the canal
construction.

TRIED TO BLAME
WIFE WITH THEFT
YOUNG BURGLAR WOULD I'M
PLICATE SPOUSE
Police Arrest Eugene n. Allen and
Wife, After Recovering Stolen
Goods From Their Possess
sion-Man Confesses

Not content with having committed
a crime and forcing his innocent young
wife to perform a share in the unlawful
act, Eugene H. Allen, aged 81 years,
who was arrested by the police yester
day on a charge of having stolen four
typewriters from the Commercial high
school, tried to throw the blame for the
whole affair on his faithful spouse. He
might have succeeded but for the
action of the police.
Allen was arrested yesterday by De-
tectives Hawley and Murphy for the
theft of the typewriters from the high
school Wednesday. He was captured
at his grandmother's home with one of
the machines in his possession, but
even with such conclusive evidence of
guilt he tried to make the detectives
believe that his wife had stolen the
machine and he was trying to shield
her. -t..
When his wife was arrested a little
later at her own home, she endeavored
to impress the officers with her hus-
bands innocence, little knowing that
her spouse was behind the bars at the
time and had been caught with one of
the machines. Even when confronted
with the truth the young wife stuck to
her story, allowing the man of her
choice to call her thief and to assert
that but for her he should never have
thought of burglary as a means of
raising money.
Pried Window Open
The theft of the typewriters was re-
ported to the police by Principal j. H.
Francis of the high school, Entrance
to the building was effected by prying
open one of the rear windows.
Detectives Hawley and Murphy have
been working diligently on the case.
Yesterday their efforts were rewarded
when Allen was traced to his grand
mothers house on Bunker Hill avenue.
When first confronted Allen asserted
that he had been in possession of the
typewriter found at his grandmother
for more than six months, but when he
learned that the officers knew the num-
bers of the stolen articles he pretended
to break down, asserting that his wife
had stolen the machines and that he
was trying to shield her. Notwith-
standing his protest of innocence he
was taken to the city jail and
locked up.
After seeing Allen safely in prison,
the detectives went to the rooms occu-
pied by the young man and his wife
at 428 North Hill street and sought
admittance. Mrs. Allen was in the
apartments at the time. but kept the
door locked upon the officers for some
time. At last she was prevailed upon
to let them enter,
In the room which Mrs. Allen had
barricaded against the police We're
found the other three stolen machines.
The young wife was taken to the po-
lice station, but all the time she kept
protesting that she alone was to blame
and that her husband had no share
in the crime.
At the police station Allen broke

TRIES TO KILL

FINLAND'S RULER SHOT AT
AND WOUNDED
Desperate Attempt by a Youth OF
Fifteen Shows That Revolutions
lists Still Pursue Policy OF
Terrorism

BY Associated Press.
VIBORG, Finland, March 2D.-Gov-
ernor Miasoredoff was shot and serious
ly wounded today by boy whose iden-
tity has not been ascertained. The as
sassin, who is about Is years old, OBJ
tanned an entrance to the governors s
office and fired three times at him, one
bullet inf1icting serious wound ana
the others slightly wounding the gov
ernor's legs. The governors clerks and
secretary were unable to stop the
would-be assassin, who reached the
street, where, however, he was arrested
without a struggle. The governors
condition is critical.
The youth who shot the governor has
been identified as Mallie Hjalmar
Reinkke and admits that he is revo-
lutionist. He halls from Kurikke par
ish, in the northeastern part of Fin
land. but recently has been living in
Stockholm to avoid arrest on account
of his known revolutionary ideas. He
returned four days ago to Finland by
way of Tornea and spent three days at
Viborg, but declines to reveal his stop
ping place.
Governor Miasoredoff has been most
energetic in the classification of Fin
land, and memorials have been sent
to the estates, petitioning his removal
on account of his alleged illegal meth
DDS and the general conditions in his
province, which were pronounced to be
intolerable.
At'3 o'clock in the afternoon Reinkke
gained access to the governors cabinet
and fired a shot from the threshold.
Then advancing, he fired twice more,
after which he jumped under the gov
ernor's writing table with his pistol
and held up the clerks who were rush
ing in and managed to reach the street.
Secretary Markoff, who followed him,
summoned assistance and the would-b
assassin was captured. Reinkke. who
lost one of his arms recently in rail-
way accident, when asked if his name
was Reinkke. replied; 1.-THE police OF
Helsingfors know me, my motive and
the governors record"
The crime was committed with an
automatic pistol of the same type as
the one with which Hohenthal assassi-
mated Soisalon Soininen, the procurator
general of Finland, ON February 6.

Internal pressure blew the lid off the
city garbage crematory deal yesterday
morning, and before 1t could be
stencil and besmirching SCOT from with
in had filled the council chamber while
councilmen hurled charges and counter
charges at each other.
When the special committee of the
council on garbage reported in favor of
city plant about a month ago the city
clerk was instructed to advertise for
bids for the construction of garbage
destruction plant capable of handling
200 tons of refuse day. The bids had
to be in, and, accompanied by a certi-
fled check, twelve days from the date
of the advertisement.
The Decarie people had man already
on the ground who had been energet-
ically at work among the councilmen
and the various civic and industrial Or
ganizations in the city. When the bids
were opened the Decarie bid was the
only one received. but representatives
of number of other systems were on
hand at the meeting to request time
in which to bid intelligently. One bid
was received after the twelve days had
expired.
When the Decarie bid came to the
council it was referred to the board OF
public works.
The advertisement required that a
certified check for $3500 must accom-
pany each bid. The bid was referred
TO the board of public works. The new
charter provides that in bids handled
by the board of public works a certifie
check for 5 per cent of the face of the
bid must accompany the bid, and this
check for $S5O0 which was put up by
the Decarie company is said to be
$500 short of per cent of their bid ol
s7O,S64. This point was brought up by
one of the councilmen, and the city
attorney was called in to pass upon 1t
He gave as his opinion that the pres
ent board of public works was not the
board which the charter referred to
and therefore the rules for handling
bids did not hold.
Councilman Smith took the moor, ane
declared that the twelve-day advertise
ment did not protect the city, and HI
moved that all bids so far received b'
thrown out and a new advertisement
with thirty-day limit be made
Houghton seconded the motion, but |

purposes may be used to the best ad-
