SPECIAL BOND ELECTION.
For a Fire Hall and to Establish an
Improvement Fund.

A special village election will be held
next Tuesday to vote upon the propo-
sition TO erect village hall and to issue
$1,000 bonds for that purpose, and to
vote upon another proposition to estab-
l1sh a fund for the construction of
streets and sidewalks and to issue $1,000
bonds for that purpose.
A public building TO provide quarters
for the fire. apparatus: and for { general
public use is the most urgent need of
the village. There is no money availa-
bic for the purpose, hence, the only way
in which this proposed improvement can
b carried out satisfactorily is by the
issue Of bonds. Considerable delay has
been caused by necessary correspon-
dence in the matter, but IN submitting
this proposition to the voters of tt 9
village the council is assured that tile
bonds, if voted, can be readily disposed
of at par. There has for months been
al urgent public demand for the build
ing of a village hall and the proposition
to issue bonds for the purpose should
receive the unanimous endorsement of
the voters.
Before deciding to submit the other
proposition the council gave the matter
careful consideration, and being cor
WINGED that it is rneritorious one now
passes it to the taxpayers for disposal.
Al present the village is handicapped by
lack Of funds for the improvement If
streets and the construction. Of sidewalks,
and the purpose of establishing this fund
is to enable the village to advance the
moneys necessary to carrying on such
work. Such fund, If established, can be
used only for such improvements as are
payable from assessments upon the
property especially benefited; and there
fore the bonds for that purpose are not
to be regarded as increasing the finan-
cial burdens of the village. The amount
$1,000, is not ge-posslbly may not,
at times, be large enough-bnt it will be
a great help. And: the council fixed
upon this amount with the idea that it
would be better to have the whole fund
in nse, to be repaid with interest. than
to issue larger amount land possibly
have surplus lying idle in the treasury
The council shows due regard for a
well-founded public sentiment that is
averse to bonded indebtedness beyond
such limit as. may be absolutely neces.
sary. The reckless borrowing of money
is little less an evil than the reckless
spending of it. -. >> = r. + :. =. ~, u

DAN F. RAUM INSANE
BEING CONSTANTLY GUARD-D TO
PREVENT SUICIDE.
financial Ruin Of Former Pension
Commissioners Son is
Complete.

Special Dispatch to The Star
PEORIA. ILL.,. December 13-Insane as re-
suit of the expose of his forgeries, Attor-
ney Dan F. Raum. son of Green B. Raum.
former commissioner of pensions at Wash
ington. who confessed to fleeing his most
intimate friends and business associates out
of large sum of money, is now guarded
night and day at his home. After his con-
fession. arrest and subsequent release on
bond. the attorney. who once was looked
upon as one of the first men of the city,
broke down completely. Incoherently he talks
Of his troubles and asks for a revolver with
which to end his life.
In the meantime charges are piling up
against him. and the estimated forgeries
and loss of money have reached over $125,-
00O. A desperate effort Is being made now
by relatives in this city to get relatives of
the forser to come to his rescue. He has a
wealthy aunt living in Washington, d. c.,
and she has been appealed to. but SO far
has failed to answer.
Wife Largest Loser.
Today it appears that his wife, who con-
sidered herself wealthy. will be the largest
loser. Her private fortuna of about $780,
coo is said to be entirely gone. OF this
amount $4,000 came to her less than two
years ago by the sale of stock in the Au-
rora gas plant.
Raum has now confessed that he squan-
dered all of his wife money. Most of it, he
says. went in speculation in the board of
trade. Unable to recover his losses he con-
ceived the idea of forging mortgages, and
in this manner began the crooked work
which finally brought mis- ruin.
Frank o. Cunningham, who lost So, 600 in
accepting forged mortgages, has caused the
sheriff to levy on the home property Of
Raum. In doing this it was found that
Raum had all of this property heavily
MOI tagged. He had done this in an at
tempt to keep up his position in the BUSH
ness and social world. Yesterday he ad-
mitted that he had been living for the last
few months principally on promises.
Inquiry in this city today failed to sub
stantiate the report that Attorney Raum
has an aunt living here. friend of the
family stated that the report was false.

be held to answer be .oie the higher tribu-
nal for murder. II was Planned to hold
the inquest at ii O'Clock this morning, but
some little delay occurred, and not until
lilo O'Clock did Mrs. Bradley appear in
the inquest room and face the coroner and
the six men who were to decide the time,
place and manner of her victims death.
An agreement had previously been made
by Attorney George p. Hoover of counsel
for Mrs. Bradley, with Coroner hewitt that
Mrs. Bradley should not be required to re-
main in the room any longer than neces-
sary to establish her identity. With that
in view the witnesses who had been first
upon the scene were called in quick sue
cession to look at the prisoner. Through
the ordeal Mrs. Bradley bore herself with
anna zing calmness and fortitude. No tears
dimmed her eyes, nor did a word or sound
escape her lips during the time she was
before the jury.
Clad in Black
Mrs. Bradley was clad entirely i'm black
as she appeared In the inquest room, while
veil of the same sonFber hue made her
features almost invisible. AS she took her

Transatlantic Traffic.

The Interstate commerce commission to-
day took up the matter of transatlantic
traffic. The representative OF the associa-
ton Of transatlantic steamship lines that
touch the harbors Of Portland, Me-; Boston,
Philadelphia. Baltimore and Newport News,
declared that there was an unrestricted
competition between the transatlantic
lines. and should they be required to file
their traffics on thirty days notice 1t would
greatly injure their business. He said the
weather conditions affecting ocean traffic
were different from those with which the
railroads have to deal. and 1t would be
impossible to show through rates from In
