the city, fights with the various cOmpa-
MES on telephones, streets, ETC.

progress in Chicago Mayor Dunno said that
municipal socialism in Chicago never lost
a fight. He enumerated the various cleo
tions on socialistic platforms, the fights
with the railroad companies, the appeals to
pie for carrying forward the municipal So
cialistic experiments in the city. He said
that the only thing that appropriated a

SUN SHINES ONCE MORE
Gladstone SUMNER CONDITIONS
FOLLOW RAINY SEASON.

There was a return to the good old sum-
mer time today and Old Sol shone down
brightly and benignly upon widowed hui
mainly once more after weeks Of cloudi-
ness and rainfall. According to Prof.
Henry of the weather bureau, August 1906,
will pass into history as the wettest month
on record. The total rainfall during the
past thirty-one days was fourteen inches
and thirty-five hundredths, which Is more
than ten inches above the average. 1t will
also be recorded as q freak month SO far
as weather conditions are concerned.
When asked by Star reporter this after
Moon as to the outlook, Prof. Henry smil-
ingly replied:
at last. The indications point to fair con-
ditions for the next two or three days. The
rain has ceased throughout this section.
and there is no more precipitation In sight.
A government clerk who arose at an early
hour this morning to greet the sun says
that about o'clock there was sort of q
struggle on the eastern horizon between
Old Sol and a great bank Of threatening
clouds For a time, he declared, 1t was nip
and tuck between the clouds and the sun
as to which should have the supremacy. The
clouds would rise above the horizon and
conceal the bright face Of the sun for
few moments. and then the brilliant disc
would mount upward and peep above the
Ominous cloud bank.
AT one time believed the clouds would
prevail and the day be marked by more
rain" added the clerk. But finally the sun
secured the advantage and mounted higher
and higher in the heavens. and the clouds
melted gradually away, and then knew we
would have a day Of sunshine to succeed
those of shadow and rain that had prevailed
SO long"
Noticeable Change.
A return to summertime conditions was
noticeable on all sides here today, Umbrel-
las and gum shoes were discarded, and the
shirt waist man was again in evidence.
Housewives who had lighted their furnace
and latrobe fires as means of drying walls
that had become saturated by the continu-
Gus rains put out the fires and opened
wide their doors and windows to let the
gladstone sunshine in.
Now that August is passing out the peo-
pie are interested in the meteorological
outlook for September, which will make
its entry tomorrow. A bulletin Issued by
the weather bureau today contains the
record of past Septembers for thirty-fve
years 1t shows that the mean tempera-
ture for that period is 68 degrees The
warmest September was in 1881. with an
average temperature Of II degrees. The
coolest September was in 1871, with an
average temperature of 81. The highest
when the thermometers recorded the rec
ord-breaking heat of 1O4 degrees In the
shade, The lowest temperature, degrees
above the freezing point was recorued
for the month was 356 inches. The heavi-
est fall of rain in twenty-four hours oc-
Cured September Is and 16, 1874. total
of SAG inches The prevailing wind d.
rection was south, and its average We
locity was five miles an hour. The record
wind occurred September 20, 1896, when
1t blew sixty-six miles an hour from the
southeast.

CONFLICTING STATEMENTS
Accused Woman Hints of Sensational
Disclosures.
DENIES ALLEGED CONFESSION
Her Counsel Says Two Men Will Be
ENTHUSIASTICALLY Set
for September 4.

Two charges of forgery were filed in the
United States branch Of the Police Court
today against Miss Eulalie Pickett. and the
hearing on both was set for September 4.
One information sets forth that ELLEN,
alias Eulalie, Pickett did feloniously forge
and utter certain paper with intent to de-
fraud Annie E. Mcknight" The paper, it
is alleged. was in the form of a check,
signed by r. E. Pairo, and was for $7O2. q.
The other information charged the same
offense, but in this case stated the intent
was to defraud Miss Helen NJ Boynton.
The date alleged was October "a, 1904, and
the check was signed by several officers of
the District Title Insurance Company. The
amount was $9O6.75.
Miss Pickett was detained in the office
of the assistant United States attorney in
the Police Court building today, and when
the cases were brought before Judge Mills
bond IN the first case was fixed at 5000
and in the second case at 5000.
Miss Pickett was arrested Wednesday
evening, as stated in The Star, on a
charge OF having represented herself as
Mrs. F. 8. Perry and endeavoring to OBJ
tain a loan Of 5000 on property which is
owned by Mrs. Perry.
Statement Of Woman's Attorney.
Attorney william E. Ambrose, counsel
for the defense, stated today that the mas
ter minds in the alleged forgeries are two
men, whose names have been divulged to
him by his client 1t is promised that
when Miss Pickett is arraigned for trial
the names will be divulged. Accord
ing to her attorney. Miss Pickett denies
having made any confession in the district
attorneys Office or to the police, and re-
pudiates any statement that might be con-
strued as an admission OF guilt.
Assistant District Attorney Given says
Miss Pickett admitted to him that she had
endeavored to secure loan on Mrs
Perry's property. and also confessed hav-
ing secured loans of $500 on the property of
Mrs. Annie e. Mcknight from Richard E.
Pairo in October, 1905. and 5000 on the
same property from Lester & Price in 1894

ments necessary in the transaction.
1t is also alleged thst Miss Pickett is the
woman who, representing herself as Mrs.
Helen M. J. Boynton, the widow of Gen.
Boynton. secured 81. 900 on a forged check
Caywood & Garrett real estate firm,
torney late yesterday and brought an APP
plication for a loan of 81 500 on the property
at 1000 18th street northwest. This appli-
cation purportS to have been signed by
| Mary E. Vockey. but 1t is stated that 1t was
really signed by Miss Pickett
Opinion Of officials.
The officials generally believe that Miss
Pickett spent several months in getting
acquainted with the history of the real
estate upon which she aendeavored to secure
loans. After possessing herself of this
knowledge it was an easy matter to con-
