MAYOR OF ST. LOUIS
SCORES CIVIC MORALS
INTEREST IN CITY GOVERNMENT
TOO SLACK
Gives Lack of Municipal Righteousness
as His Reason for Opposing
Public Ownership of
Utilities

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, July 19.-Mayor Wells, in
celebrating his reasons for opposing mu-
nicipal ownership in st. Louis, declares
that the people of the big cities have not
reached the high moral plane where they
demand the highest grade of conduct in
their public officials
1.-The people of the great cities are too
busy, too Indifferent to municipal af-
fairs to take the proper interest in the
government of their cities,' said he to
a Post-Dispatch reporter.
'They tolerate conditions in the pub
lie business that they would not tolerate
for a moment in their private affairs.
They do not take the proper interest to
see that only worthy and competent
men are elected to public office. They
do not appreciate the public official or
encourage him. In fact, there is ten
dency to burlesque public office.
Many Men Advanced
mot only that, but men are pushed to
the front officially at times who ought
to be relegated to the rear" and after
a pause, Eyes, way back in the rear"
Mr.. Wells said he meant no personal
references by this statement
1.-THE people ought to take the same
interest in public affairs that they do in
their private business affairs" he con-
tinued "They do not seem to appre-
ciate the close connection between the in
terests of the municipality and their
own interests. They do not realize that
the more businesslike the methods en-
ployed in the city the greater good
profit and enjoyment will be theirs
"There are citizens who instead of
encouraging officials to do their full
duty, ask them to aid private interests.
ha ipn inc n ir6pnpn6-
ent voting in municipal elections is en-
couraging 1t offers probably the best
solution of the problem l have outlined
by forcing the great parties to nominate
the most desirable men for office.
Should Fight Combinations
'T believe the cities have not yet
reached the stage where they can sue
cessfully manage street railways. L
question the advisablity of a municipal
fty entering the public utility business
at all. except where it is moved by san
itary considerations. L believe cities
should own and manage their own water
works, not because of possible financial
but because of its interest In
the public health.
~ think a municipality should protect
itself against combinations by such COM
panies and hold itself in readiness to
start competition to defeat such move.
During my administration an electric
lighting plant was installed in the city
hall and another at the insane asylum.
They were not installed purely to furnish
light. but to encourage competition. The
result has been that these plants have
cut down the cost of the city's lighting
per lamp enormously.
THAT illustrates my municipal owner
ship idea. believe in it when 1t results
in financial advantage to the CITY,"

POLICE HAVE
NEW MYSTERY
DEPARTMENT LOOKING FOR PASS
KEY BURGLAR
MAN HAS ROBBED FIFTY HOUSES
IN MONTH
Individual Usually Unlocks Front Door
and Takes What He Can Find
in Absence of the
Family

Some time between 4:3O o'clock and II
D. m. yesterday the "pass-key burglar,
who has driven patrolmen aud detectives
of the police force to their wits end,
robbed the residence of A. Richardson at
215 South Flower street.
Entrance was effected in the usual
manner, through the front door during
the absence of the family A pass key
was used to unlock the do and no
trace was left of the visit of the thief
except the absence of the property which
he carried Off
In this case it was a heavy gold link
bracelet valued at $50, an ivory handled
revolver which cost $40 and few small
trinketS.
Within the past ten days the pass-key
burglar has committed more than fifty
robberies each of them of small conse-
quence in itself, though in the aggre-
gate the value of property stolen runs
into the hundreds of dollars The mys-
terry surrounding the individual who is
doing the work is even more dense than
that which encompassed the barefoot
Fleenor.
Police Have Description
The police have a fairly good descrip-
ton of the man who is committing
these robberies and they hope within a
few days to have him in jail.
Late yesterday afternoon the wife OF
a police officer telephoned her husband
at the station that she had observed a
man go to the front door of residence
opposite theirs and open the
door with pass key. He entered the
door and a moment later came hastily
out, and, jumping down the steps, ran
down the street
The family was at home, and the bur-
glar. as he is supposed be, was sur
prised
According to the description given, he
is a well-dressed young man % to 80
years of age, dressed in neat business
suit of blue serge, with canvas shoes
and a sailor straw hat.
The police believe that the robDer car
ries a complete line of pass keys to MT
any and all locks. He pic--s out favor
able looking houses, then watches his
opportunity and when he is satisfied that
the house is left unguarded, enters and
robs the place at his leisure.
No less thar fifty robberies of this
character have been reported within the
past month

DOHENY OPPOSES
BIG ASSESSMENT
DECLARES EQUITY IN MEXICAN
CONCERN NoN-AssESSABLE
Interests in Petroleum Company Are,
in Issue, and Board of Equalization
Takes Weighty Decision
Under Amusement

Yesterdays session of the city board
of equalization was memorable because
of the contest of e. l.. Doheny, the oil

had been made by which certain stocks
were to be turned over by the Mexican
Petroleum company of California to the
Mexican Petroleum company of Della
ware There were 100000 shares due
him, but the transaction had not been
completed.
Asked as to the value of these shares
Mr.. Doheny declared that if he lived and
carried out his plans he would not take
$11, 1000 for them.
Mr. Doheny declared that c. A Cam
field, E. L. Ripley, DIR. Norman u.
Bridge and others held 40 per cent Of the
stock. He maintained that it was not
solvent credit He merely had an equity.
Councilman Wallace tried in various
WAYS to state the case favorably toward
the company, though he said he was In
duty bound to sustain the city attorney
contention.
The case was taken under adVisenent,
as was the request for reduction of the
Hauser Packing company from $4,000 TO
500, and the Pacific Light & Power com
pany from 100000 to nothing ON fran
chise.
The board will adjourn next Thursday
at 5 p. m.
