Inasmuch as for the past week the

passersby and forcing their way into

evident that the order of the Cover

The order followed the stabbing of

attempted to arrest three women who
were addressing a crowd of working
men in the market square of a Fin

Part of the Funds of the De-

Chicago, Aug. Slate this after.
noon, $3600O0 of funds of the Milwau-
kee Avenue State Bank were carted
through the streets of Chicago. 1t
required seventy-five policemen to
guard the money in transit and to get
it safely away from the crowd of over
1000 persons, who have surrounded
the bank since Monday morning. The
crowd, all of whom were depositors
in the bank, gathered around the
bank building and watched the police
and clerks of the institution carry the
large suit case filled with greenbacks,
out to the patrol wagon and dump
them onto the floor of the wagon.
Nobody in the crowd outside the
closed bank knew Of the plan to car
ry the money away. Not until Lieu
tenant Mcdonald and his long line of
patrOlmen appeared outside the bank
building, was it suspected that the
money was TO be taken away. Then a
patrol wagon backed up to the curb
and two rows of policemen formed
leading to the banks rear door. At
a command from Receiver John C.
Fetzer to ten clerks in charge 81 the
money. the door swung open and they
rushed out, carrying the bags. Six
policemen leaped into the wagon with
the lieutenant and the horses were
whipped up, the crowd parting hur-
riedly to make way for the convoy
OF police.
There was no demonstration by the
crowd, except here and there one
could hear a humorous remark. such
as: There goes mine, 'Stensland's S
got yours"
The removal of the money is believ-
ed to be the first step toward aban-
doning the banks building. preparato-

W. J. Meineke, real estate dealer,
residing at 724 North HOyne avenue,
complained to the police at the West
Chicago avenue station that when he
opened his safety deposit vault box,
which was controlled by the bank he
discovered that it had been opened
before and that 500 had been alb
stracted from it. He placed the money
in the box a month ago, This is the
fourth person to complain of having
had their safety box opened and their
money distracted.

which is alleged to be very large.
For years certain stockholders of
the Wells-Fargo Company have com
planned that the affairs of that corpO-
ration were run more for the benefit
of certain "insders" than for the
stockholders generally. The assertion
has been freely made that the figures
have been "juggled" that they did not
show at a casual glance the enormous
surplus which is to the credit of the
Wells Fargo Company, and which
which certain stockholders believe
should be paid out to the sharehOld-

dens or legal grants.
This agitation had its elimination

holders to Overturn the present direc-

They have kept this uD until today

ANNUAL REPORT is MADE
HE SUGGESTS THAT THE SYS-
TEN NOW IN VOGUE BE ABAN-

STATE LAW.

The Palladium is in receipt of the
annual report of State Geologist w. S
Blatchley, in which he takes a hard
rap at the present method of working
out the road tax under supervisors
in the various townships of the state
and he says in plain words that thi'
system should be abolished. In Que
place, where he tells of the advances
that should be made in road building
in Indiana, Mr.. Blatchley says:
''Another advance which can not
come too soon, is the abOlishment OF
the present antiquated method of
working ont the road tax under SUI
pervisors. Such tax should be paid in
cash, and then, for the most part
should be used in improving perma.
nently some certain part of the road
the Improvement to be done by con-
tract and under the proper supervis-
ion
Farther on the report has this with
reference to the subject: "Proba bly,
the worst feature of the road system
of Indiana is one that has been in
force since the beginning of the nine
teenth century. and remains in vogue
today, namely the old method of work
ing out the road tax under superviS-
Ors. This forced labor on highways,
which is demanded Of every able-bOd-
led man in the country between the
ages of twenty-one and fifty, is a rem
nant of feudalism which has come
down through the ages to the present
day.
Two Methods Suggested.
The worst feature Of the supervis-
or system is that as generally prac-
ticed. it does not provide for any per
manent Improvement Of the roads,
but only in making temporary repairs
TO keep them passable in certain sea
SONS Of the year. Instead OF working
or frittering away time. as is now
commonly done on repairs which
amount to little or nothing, it would
be far better if one or the other of
two methods were adopted, namtly:
i, For the citizens to pay the
road tax in cash and let out the con-
tract for keeping the roads OF the
district in good condition TO some one
responsible person, who shall act un-
der the direction OF the township trlIs-
tee or the road superintendent OF the
county, and who shall give bond for
the faithful performance Of the work;
or
-. If it is desired to keep up the
Cy1-a~T-ici0r Ha -sr,e
out OF tax. the annual work should
be done on some one piece Of road in
the district. and it should be graded
and graveled or macadamized with
the same care as are other free i'm
proved gravel or stone roads let out
TO contractors. In this way a mile or
two Of good road could be annually be
built in each district, and the roads
thereby permanently improved"
