MADE
TO WRECK
CAR
Track Was Raised and Jack
Left to Wreck Car on Dummy
Line Last Night.

An attempt was made last night to
wreck the bay shore electric car as it
was coming to the city over the dunn
NV line. The car was com
ing up from the bayou, leaving there
at 11:3O. when the attempt was made
10 wreck it just below Baskerville.
The guilty party or parties secured
a "jack" used by railroad section men
in repairing the track, and with this
raised the track two or three inches
higher than it should have been. The
lack" was left under the track. and
If the motorman had run his car over
the place and struck the Jack at full
sreed a bad wreck would have been
the result. He saw the obstruction
and rise in the track, however, and
brought the car to slow speed before
it reached the spot.
The car left the city at II O'Clock
end when it passed down the track
was in good order. Only about twenty
minutes elapsed before its return, and
II is probable that the wreckers did
not have time to finish the work be-
fore they saw the car coming.
There is no clue as to who commit.
te.5, the deed. The Jack" was secured
and brought to the city. 1t had evil

or else at Perdido.

MEETING Of THE
BOARD Of
SAFETY !.
Routine Business Transacted and
MarShaI'S Monthly Report
Read.

The regular meeting of the Board
of Public Safety was held last night,
Chairman Ingraham presiding and
Mayor Bliss and Mr.. White being pres
ent.
Only routine business was transact
ed bv the board, there being nothing
of special Importance to come before
the body.
After the minutes had been APPROX
ed, a number of reports were received
and read. These included the month
w report of the marshal, showing the
work of the police department for the
month of May. IT showed that Az
arrests had been made, of which 175
were white and 237 cOlOred. OF these
1O2 were discharged, 2S3 found guilty,
II sent to the criminal court, sentence
suspended in 9 cases and one case con-
tinued. Fines assessed amounted to
81 .S94.5O, while collections aggregated
S1.1S1.4O. This included pound fees
and costs.
Bids for furnishing feed for stock OF
the department for the coming month
were opened from Marion, Curry &
Co. and ]. E. DubuissOn & Bros. The
former was awarded the contract al
800 per ton for choice hay and 40c per
bushel for white clipped oats.
Marshal Schad called up the matter
of the ordinance now before the coun-
Gil creating the Office of building in
spector. and thought it would be prop
err if the board would request that the
building of sidewalks also be under
the supervisiOn of this officer. The
oDinion prevailed that the work
should be taken from the shoulders
of the marshal, and it is probable that
something will be done before the or
dinance is passed.
The application Of r. G. Sweeting
for position in the police department
was referred to the marshal.
The pay rolls and bills were ap-
proved and ordered paid.
The marshal reported that the work
of constructing the new patrol call
alarm system had nearly been COM
pleted. but that the small number of
boxes did not cover the territory, not
going any further west than DeEillier
street or east any further than Ninth
avenue. He suggested that two tele-
phones, one in the eastern portion
and one in the western section be
placed. and these could also be used
by the night mounted men in making
their reports to the station.
The matter was discussed but no
action taken, and after considering
several cher questions the board ad-
jOurned.

HOUSE
MEN FINED

Managers of the Packing Houses
Fined this Sum for Keeping
Tainted Meat.

Managers A. w. Davis and J. D.
Carroll of the Armour and Swift COM
panies, respectively, we're each fined
$4,000 in the municipal court yester-
day morning by Recorder Laney, be-
ing found guilty of violating the city
ordinances by keeping decayed and
tainted meats in cold storage.
These cases are the ones which
have occupied the attention of the
public since Thursday morning. the
mayor and city health officer having
discovered the meat Wednesday at
ternoOn.
When the court convened the court
room was well filled, many of those
present having been attracted to hear
the evidence in the packing cases.
The city's principal witnesses were
Mayor Bliss and City Health Officer
P.erpont, both of whom testified as to
the condition of the meat when found.
The statements of the packing house
managers were to the effect that their
regular day for condemning and de-
stroying meats was Saturday and the
meat found by the mayor and city
health officer had been placed aside
to be sent out with other meats on
Saturday.
The session Of the court consumed
several hours, and it was nearly II
O'Clock when Recorder Laney cOnclud-
ed his review of the testimony and
announced each guilty, imposing a fine
of $4,000 and costs. 1t is probable
that both cases will be appealed to
higher courts, but this will not be
decided until the local managers hear
from headquarters.

General debility is term that covers

LONG MEETING DROWNED OUT
ONLY BOATS GET AROUND THE
SHORT GRASS REGION.
Senator's Automobile Trip Had to Be
Abandoned.

Isabel, Kan, Sept. 1S.-Not auto
mobiles, nor wagons, nor buggies,
nor even passage on foot and on
horse, are the order of things this
week in the short grass country-the
semi-arid region-but boats might
serve a purpose.
Senator Long and his party have
been compelled by the unprecedented
rains to abandon the automobile tour
which has been so widely discussed in
the state the past few weeks. They
sought to proceed by train, glad to
have the chance of even a freight
train, but were unable to do even that.
CoIdwater was to have been the
meeting place of the automobllists
this noon. P. G. Walton, enroute to
Kansas from Colorado Fastening to
join the party, picked up w. j. Fitz-
gerald. nominee for lieutenant gov
ernor, in Dodge City Sunday after
noon and drove to some point midway
that night. C. Q. Chandler, c. E.
Denton of Attica, the nominee for
secretary of state, and WaldrOn Chase
of Medicine Lodge, accompanied by
an expert outomobilist from Wichita,
were to have left the latter place this
morning and run to Coldwater to
meet the others. c. L. Davidson, OF
Wichita, also was to have met his
companions at COldwater.
Senator Long and r. H. Faxon rose
early at their homes at Medicine
Lodge this morning and in spite of
the heavy rain of Sunday night and
the mists of the early morning, set
out to drive sixteen miles to this
point, here to catch a Santa Fe train
to Coldwater Eight miles north of
Medicine Lodge a swollen creek.

quarter of mile, confronted them.
Repairing again to Medicine Lodge
and setting off by another road Isabel
was reached, but o:%!y here to learn
of the full scope and effect of the vio-
lent rains of Sunday ana Sunday
night throughout Southwest Kansas.
Nothing like these rains has been
the experience of the short grass
country for years. Railroad bridges
as well as wagon bridges are washed
out. Campaigning not only by auto
mobile but in any other way is an
ImpOssibility.
Therefore no meetings will be held
by Senator Long in the short grass
country this week. Later the effort
nay be renewed.

MExIcANs WERE ORDERLY.
There Was No Revolution on the
Anniversary of Liberty.

Washington, Sept. 18.-Mr. Thomp-
son, the American ambassador to
Mexico, in telegram to the state de-
partment today from Mexico City,
said that during the Mexican nation
al celebration, during the period of
which so much trouble was prophe-
sled for Mexico, mot disturbance of
the smallest degree came to his atten-
tion," but that "the most profound or
der and good will was noticeable over
all the great mass of people,
During the celebration, he said.
there were heard throughout the city
cries of Live America" and Live
the Americars!"
Consul General Hanna at Monterey,
in his teIegraphic advice says the
various American consuls in Mexico
had reported to him relative to the
celebration, each saying that peace
and order prevailed. Consul Mills, at
Chihuahua, reported to him that the
celebration there and at Paral was
"as peaceful and quiet as a Quaker
meeting"
