POLICEMEN BLEED
FOR dunno FIGHT.
Two Collections Ordered to Raise For
mer Mayors Chicago Cam
paign Fund.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 16.-That near
" $4,000 was MIXED from the police
department in the interests of Mayor
Dunno by Chief of Police John NJ. Col
Inns, E. II. Roche, former city purchas-
ing agent and manager of the Dunno
campaign, and Commissioner of Public
Works William L. O'Connell, was test!.
fed to Monday afternoon at the civil
service investigation into the police cam
paign scandal.
Dunno Not Accused Directly.
Mayor DUNES name has not been
mentioned yet in a direct way in regard
to the assessments. Whether he was
simply blind beneficiary or was open
eyed in regard to the matter has not
been brought out. 1t was shown, now
ever, that the hands of Collins, Roche
and O'Connell We're stained with the ac-
tual handling of the money.
Will Be Grand Jury Action.
1t was evident that there would be
grand jury action in the affair. The
states attorney has already been con-
suited and the testimony which was Civ

Hyde Park, Inspector John l.. Revere OF
Chicago avenue station, Capt. John Nc
Weeney of the Hyde Park station, and
Lieut. Walter NJ. Jenkins of the stock

for the prosecution of the men who per
formed the boldest holdup of the police
department that has ever taken place III
the annals of any American city.
Contributed for "a Years.
One other thing developed and that is
that the Chicago police department has
for years been at the mercy of the poll

TWO CITIES RAZED
BY MEXICO QUAKE
Capital of Guerrero and ChllapA Are IN
Ruins and Shocks Still Con-
tinue,

CITY OF MEXICO, April 16.-Chil-
pancingo, the capital Of the state OF
Guerrero, and Chilapa, a city twenty six
miles northeast of the capital, are IN
ruins as a result of the most severe
earthquakes felt in that section for years.
The shocks still continue but are slight.
1t is impossible to get a correct esti-
mate of the number killed and wounded.
No two reports are alike, but all agree
that many lives were lost in the two
cities.
In ChilpancingO eleven are known to
have persisted, among them being the
wife Of Postal Inspector Leopold Lopez
Guerra and the child of Jose Aleman, the
postmaster of the city. Jose Lopez Mar
tinez, manager of the federal telegraph
office, was badly injured.
Says Five Hundred Were Killed.
The National Bank of Mexico received
word from its Chilpancingo correspond
ent that 500 were killed in that city and
Chilapa, but government officials think
the figure is excessive, although they ad-
NIT the destruction of both cities.
They say the houses in the district
were built to withstand seismic disturb
ances, and are confident but relatively
few persons were killed.
An appeal for aid from the governor
OL NueIIeIO WAS the uISL LleSSdSC AC0
ceived here. The official said it was i'm
possible to learn the loss of life owing
to the confusion and panic reignlng
among the people.
The population of Chilpancingo is
5000 and of Chilapa $4,000.
Fear for Bishops Safety.
The Catholic bishop of the state OF
Guerrero has his headquarters at Chi
lapa, and as no word has been received
from him fears for his safety are ente
tanned.
No word has been received from Aca-
pulco. on the west coast, and 1t Is be-
lieved that city, too, has suffered.
Reports from JOiiInu say the volcano
of Colima is spouting forth with un-
wonted activity and the people IN that
section are in terror.
The earthquake was felt as far east
as San Juan Batista in the state OF Ia
basco, and as far north as San LUIS
Patosi.
ere were no deaths in Mexico City
and beyond cracked and fallen walls the
property loss will be slight. Owing tc
the long duration of the shock this is
considered remarkable, and is only &C
counted for by the peculiar swell like mo
ton of the earthquake, which was regu-
lar and from east to west.

Listening for Worms.

You wouldn't think worm made
much noise by just wriggling through
the ground, would you? At any rate,
you can't hear them. But thrushes do.
and so do some other birds.
If you watch a thrush on the lawn
you'll see him stand quite still, with
when you're listening to something.
Then. when he hears the worm moving.
he turns his head quickly to where the
sound came from, and hops to the spot.
Again he stands still, just for second
or two, with his head close to the ground
Then down goes his back and Mr..
Worm is caught.-EXchange

Secretary Taft Finishes Long Journc,
Friday.


Secretary of War Taft arrived in
New York Friday on the steamer
President Grant. after a Journey
around the world. The secretary said
he was not prepared To talk on any
public questions.
Secretary Taft left for Washington
at LA on the Pennsylvania railroad.
Taft was met at Jersey City by a
party Of newspaper men. Referring to
the departure OF the Pacific fleet. the
secretary said that this subject had
not been discussed by the Japanese
emperor and himself. but the feeling
WAS merely a test of the efficiency Of
the navy and was not to be construed
as anything even remotely akin to an
unfriendly measure.
in favor of peace" he went on. II
can speak with emphasis on his mat
ter. Nothing but peace is to be ex-
pected. The trade relations between
the two nations is q strong factor for
pacification. OF Japan's yearly exports
of s160, 900. 600 over one-third comes
to the United States, and this trade
means a livelihood to a great number
of small traders on the island. This.
if nothing else, would make the body
of the nation oppose any act Of hos
tility."

The program for the return OF the

rotary of n Navy Metcaif Sunday.
The secretary's remark was called
cut by a wireless message from the
flagship CONNECTICUT stating that Ad-
miral Evans hM1 authorized the Asso-
ciated Press to say that Ii Is personal
belief that the navy departments
present intention is to have the battle
ship fleet return by way Of the Suez
canal next summer or fail. As the
president. through Secretary Loeb.
previously had spoken to the same
effect, ii seems clear that Admiral Ev-
ans statement was not suggested by
any definite move so far determined
upon by those supreme in authority.
In naval circles the opinion prevails
that a squadron composed of sucn
vessels as the voyage TO the Pacific
shall have demonstrated to be the
pick of the fleet" will b sent home
through the Suez canal, while the re-
mainder will take the shorter route
around the Horn. 1t is not likely.
however. that ali sixteen battleships
will make the returA voyage. as the
~desirability of a sSonger fleet in the
Pacific may be met by the retention
of Drrhn nG SaN.pHst nr Admiral Esxan-s
ships in those waters. But, like Ad-
miral Evans belief as to the return
via the Suez canal, the question of per-
manently reinforcing the Pacific's
squadron has not progressed beyond
the discussion stage. and its final de-
termination hinges upon developments
of the next six months.
