sort"

Will VIII VI oOlAaSNiAiiS "a lA'oe
sort"
The preparations Of the mayors at
taches are unnecessary, according TO
Gallagher, who says that he does not
intend 70 invade the premises.
"The mayors Office is not neces-
sarily in any one place more than an
other" said Gallagher yesterday. but
is wherever the mayor is. Therefore.
If ] establish my Office in the room of
the finance committee of the board of
supervisors. as I intend to do for the
present, that viii be the mayors Of
fee"
Not few persons had an idea that
Gallagher would make a frontal at
tack with an ak on the office at
franklin and Posts streets and hur-
ried there TO witness the assault
bur they were disappointed The depu-
ties were suspicious, however and
stopped every one who passed up the
steps, They had heard of the artifces
OF William J. Burns and feared that
he might try to gain an entrance in
disguise. Burns. however, is not in
terested in the fight over the mayors
Office and was a long distance from the
scene.
The Offices which Schmitz has occu-
pied are In the home of H. NJ. Levy and
Levy now desires TO be rid of his
tenant
Il don't care how soon the mayor
leaves" said Levy yesterday. Il would
like to have my whole house to myself
We have no lease. The city pays a good
rent, $3.50 month. Just what I asked
but we viii be glad to get our parlors
back How did I come TO rent the
rooms to the mayor? One day last
summer. when rooms were pretty hard
TO secure. Schmitz came out of the
Century club, around the corner and
said that he could no longer have his
Office there. He was looking for a new
place. / did not know him personally
but my son in law did so l let him
have three rooms as an accommodation
At the same time the rent was very
good. But ] viii be glad TO have the
Office move, so I can have all my house
again"
Not only is the city paying rent for
the Offices which the court forbade the
mayor to occupy. but il is the owner
of red automobile to which Schmitz
is tenaciously holding. It is said that
other convicts at the county jail be-
lieving that they they are entitled to
the same treatment as their fellow
prisoner, viii apply to the authorities
TO be provided with automobiles. The
big motor car which belongs to the
city has gone TO the Jail with the
mayor. Schmitz is the only prisoner in
the world who is provided with an au-
tomobi1e.
Acting Mayor Gallagher, although
fond Of motoring. said yesterday that
he would not use the machine even
if it were turned over TO him.

BOSTON. June Is.-Sir Chentung
Lang cheng. retiring Chinese Ambas-
sador TO the United States who is in
this city on a visit, made the following
statement to the press today:
! shall make public today the contents Of an
Root last Saturday night, which shows better
than anything else can the remarkably high
sense OF 3ustice which the United States has
used In all her dealings with China. You re-
member that after the boxer troubles China

on account OF the losses entailed by the United
States government as well as for personal prop
erty lost by her citizens during the boxer cam
psign. -Four years ago your government was
arrived, as a token OF sincere friendship for
China, the original figures OF the indemnity
would be revised.
True 20 the promise OF the executive officers,
] received note from Secretary Root last Sat
urdsy night saying that the president directed
him to say that in his next message to congress
he would be pleased 70 recommend that China
be relieved of sn obligation in excess OF the
had been set at SiLe55. 49,. SO. That as you
see, viii save China over SI2 600 600 and
also interest at the rate of per cent
You cannot emphasize TOO strongly my great
admiration for the fair spirit which has al
ways characterized the dealings of the United
another monument to Americas high sense Of
justice. and ] feel called upon TO ssy-not pc
cause an the retiring ambassador-that per-
soBally feel that America is one OF China s
strongest friends
WASHINGTON, June 1s.-The state
department confirms the statement of
the Chinese minister regarding the
resolution Of the United States govern
nent regarding the reduction Of the
Chinese indemnity. The fact that the
indemnity is being collected under a
treaty makes It impossible for the
executive to act alone in this matter.
But the president in his annual mes
sage TO congress viii suggest that the
payment of more than the amount ac-
tually expended be remitted.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua. June 1s.-
The revolution started in Salvador, in
which Nicaraguans aided the revolu-
tionists. resulted In the capture on
June IL of the important towns of
Acajutla and Sonsonate, but the ex-
peditionary chief, General Alfara, did
not continue the advance because his
numerous partisans did not concur
with him that the time for such ad-
vance was open, thus resulting in the
failure of the movement.

Chief Clerk John H. Ryan. When
asked whether he would continue his
custom of sending resolutions and or

II am clerk of the board of super

which means that Ryan will recognize
the resolution appointing an acting
mayor as legal measure and send all

Ryan said that he had not sent any
of the resolutions to the acting mayor
yesterday because the official news

publication, but that he would do SO
today.
Schmftz was to have appeared at the

tion will likely be taken up some day
this week.

boy, accompanied by his father, will

clusion Of Aoki from the school. The
issue having thus been declared, suit
will at once be filed in the Federal

EPIDEMIC IN CHICAGO.
Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria Ram
pant Among Children.

Chicago, Jan. 18.-With 6 200 school
children in Chicago and suburbs pros
trate with scarlet fever and diphtheria
and the announcement from the state
capital last night that smallpox and
scarlet fever are practically epidemic
throughout Illinois, the health author
tiles have awakened to the most serious
condition they have experienced for
years. Radical steps were taken at
once in closing manv sohcc!2, and, II
, t!h.o disease continues to spread, it may
result in the closing of all places of en-
tertainment and resorts where people
congregate in large numbers.
Reports OF new cases flooded into the
health office with increasing rapidity.
Seventy-six new cases of scarlet fever
and 80 cases Of diphtheria were report
ed within the city limits in three
hours.
In all 1l8 cases of contagious dis
eases were reported to the Chicago
health department yesterday, includ-
ing cases of scarlet fever and diph.
iberia, against lO7 reported the pre-
vious day.
DIR. Herman spalding, the city's con-
tagious disease expert, declared there
were about 3, 200 cases of scarlet fever
in the city at present and 1000 cases
of diphtheria. In Evanston and Oak
Park there were probably 900 addi-
tional cases.
In Evanston 1850 pupils were bar
red from school by order Of DR.. Will
liam R. Parkers, of the Evanston board
of health. In Oak Park $500 more
We're barred. 1t is estimated
that more than $4,000 pupils were kept
home from schools in Chicago yester-
day by the parents.

Plan Car Clearing House.

New York. Jan. 1S.-Local officials
of the American Railway association
said yesterday that the reports from
Chicago that many of the large railway
systems of the country had agreed to a
pooling arrangement for all their freight
cars was premature. What is in con-
temptation, it is said, was the estab-
lishment of a freight clearing house,
with the object of increasing the eff
cheney of car service. The railroads
entering Chicago have already consent
ed to the establishment on an expert
mental clearing house.

Gaines quoted the Supreme court de-

that patent taken out by an officer for
a discovery made by him in the line of
duty belongs to the government. Mr.
Monroe, he stated, had turned his pat

it was today in tie hands of great

So far as Gaines could find out, Mr..
