Worked the Boys for Money

By degrees Chesterfield worked several of the boys around town for money enough to live on for two or three months. He did this partly through persuading them that he was what he represented himself to be and he obtained some money by exhibiting fine specimens of copper ore, which he said were from claims down the bay which he had acquired. One young man put up a little cash on this mys- terious copper claim but was put off every time he wanted to go and see it.. Finally he compelled Chesterfield to go down the bay with him in a boat. When they reached a projecting head land Chesterfield said: "The claim is just beyond that and we can't get by until low tide. There is no place to land on the other side. We will have to walk from here" The investor re- piled: "All right. We will wait for low tide"
 When the tide ran out the headland still projected into the water, The in- vestor insisted on climbing over it but as they were going over Chesterfield "sprained his back" The two then returned to Seward without seeing the claim.
 Comparison of notes among Chester fields creditors about this time con- vinced them that they were throwing good money after bad and the town grew so warm for the adventurer that he managed to secure passage on a boat and went to Latouche. This was in May. Soon afterward a Seward man returned from visit to that town

WILL NOT MAKE
APPROPRIATION
City Officials Think Auxil-
iary Salt Water System
Should Be in Bond Issue

A committee from the Board of Fire IN
derwriters, headed by William J. Dutton
and r. Herold, waited yesterday on
Mayor SchmitZ to urge that an appro-
priation be made in next years budget for
the carrying out of the plan TO build an
auxiliary salt water supply on Twin
Peaks for better fire protection. The
Mayor called the members Of the Board
Of Public Works and the City Engineer
into the conference and the subject was
discussed in all its bearings
Attention was called TO the fact that the
present budget contained an appropria-
ton Of s1J0O00 for the system. OF that
amount $4,000 has already been expended
for the purchase Of land on Twin Peaks
for the reservoir site. The committee from
the underwriters asked for a sufficient ap-
preparation, estimated at $3.50, 600, TO con-
tinue the building of the reservoir in order
TO afford additional fire protection.
The discussion developed the interesting
fact that the salt water system in its en-
urety VIII cost in the neighborhood of 81
900 900. which viii include the distributing
system. The Mayor and other city Of
ficials present expressed themselves as
averse to saddling an installment debt of
s150,005 yearly on the municipality for the
next six or seven years.
While favoring the proposition as a
means of better fire protection. the Mayor
thought it would be more advisable to
submit a proposition TO the voters for a
bond issue in conjunction with the propo-
sition to acquire a municipal water supply.
The two propositions go hand in hand, ac-
cording TO the opinion entertained by the
city officials, and their submission to the
voters will result in ascertaining from
the people their viii on both points.
The Mayor stated that the needs of the
~ lo1 ~
creased, and he did not think there would
be any money available out of the budget
to construct the salt water system piece
meal. His Honor thought better results
could be obtained by issuing bonds in the
entire amount needed should the voters
so decide in order that the system may be
in its entirety.

WAR ON FEVER JACK
EFFORT TO PREVENT HIS INTRO
 DUCTION THIS YEAR.
Government Surgeons Will Go to New Orleans, and Others VIII He sent to Ports of Central
 America.

Washington. March 9.-The treasu- ry officials have taken measures to prevent recurrence of the yellow fever epidemic in the Southern States
 At the request of a committee of citizens from New Orleans, six sur geons have been designated to visit the parishes adjacent to that city to assist the State authorities in such measures as may be deemed necessary to prevent the introduction of yellow fever during the coming year.
 With the same end in view the de- partment has designated nine public health and marine hospital surgeons to go to the principal fruit shipping cities of South and Central America to oversee the shipments from these ports as follows.
 Dr. Robinson of New Orleans, to Gel ba, Honduras; Dr. D. w. Goodman of Mobile to Port Limon, Costa Rica; pr. H. I. A. Cook, of Alabama to Belize; British Honduras; Dr. N. K.

FIGHT Is KEPT UP
EFFORTS FOR COMMENCEMENT OF
 COURT DISTRICTS.
Congressman Alexander of Buffalo Be- Iieves that Judges Do Not Work
 Hard Enough to Clear
 D0ckeaa.
By Alfred J. stofer.

Washington, March 9.--(Speeial )-In spite of the fact that Attorney General Moody and other officials of the Depart ment of Justice do not favor the pas- sage of any bills to create new judi cial districts. and that the House Judi ciary Committee has practically smoth- cred all bills of this character that have been introduced. members from many States are bringing pressure to bear in the hope that reports of some kind may be made to the House.
 It is conceded that in at least half dozen States the busiste 4s of the Fed eral Courts as at present constituted is in congested condition. Some of the judges and attorneys have more than they can do.
 Congressman Alexander of Buffalo does not share in this view. He has maintained for several years that many of the judges are too lenient and thinks that they should rush the business of their courts in livelier fashion. He is a very influential member of the House Judiciary Committee and has been spe- cially antagonistic so far as most of the court bills are concerned.
 Mir. Alexander is credited with being opposed to the measure offered by Rep resentative Pearre to divide the dis trict of Maryland. Mir. Pearre has fur nished the committee with figures which he believes ought to convince any man that there is more business in the State than one district judge can attend to. All the session the Ala bama members have industriously tried to prove that something ought to be done to relieve the situation in that State, but to no avail.
 Florida. with a comparatively small population, has two districts. and West Virginia, has had two districts for nearly twenty years and has claim in for a third district.
