TO Be PAVED FOR

Lyman Street May Be Open

End to End.

matter that promises to be of
great benefit to thee ity has been dis
cussed informally among the members
of the board Of public works at various
times 1t is the opening and paving
of Lyman street throughout its entire
length in such manner that it will
be one OF the best heavy traffic streets
in the city. The subject has been re-
vived Of late
Lyman street runs from Douglas
street to Carroll street along the west
side of the Monon tracks. The board
of public works may open 1t farther
south and on through Harrison park.
The board Of public works has re-
cognized that another street through
the south part of the city Is tmpera-
tive. The street will become popular
with teamsters because they will not
be hampered by street car tracks and
in many instances it will give them a
more direct route than that afforded
by other thoroughfares.
With large part OF the traffic taken
off Holman street in this manner it
will tend to keep that street cleaner
and leave It more quiet through Home

Hartman Concludes His Testimony.
ALTON DEAL IS DEFENDED
Member of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Follows
President Hartman.

Hartman was succeeded on the
stand by Otto II. Kahn, one Of the
leading members of the firm Of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., which has financed many
of the important deals Of the Harri-
man party. and an ex-director of the
organization of the Union Pacific.
There was special inquiry as to the
commissions paid to the firm of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. and the inter-relations Of
the firm, the witness and Jacob Schiff
with the Union Pacific. The witness
said the firm had received a commits
sion equal to 8 per cent. on the pur-
chase of Southern Pacific; a commits
sion of 5 per cent. which was divided
with other underwriters on the issue
of Union Pacific convertible bonds at
reduction Of per cent.
The witness spirltedly defended the
acts Of his firm, and cited instances
where it had sold stocks to the Union
Pacific at a figure below the current
market. Before leaving the stand Kahn
made an extended defense of the Alton
transaction based on the methods and
conditions of the time. Kahn refused
to divuIge anything specific as to the
business transactions undertaken by
his firm in behalf of clients in or out
side of the Union Pacific directorate.
He and his counsel. Paul D. Cravath.
urged the same objection made by At
torney John G. Nlilburn in behalf of
Hartman, and added the special plea
Of the confidential privilege existing
between a banker and his clients. The
commission ruledagainstall objections.
and the record was in each instance
properly completed for reference to the
courts.
William H. Moore and Daniel G.
Reid, directors of the Rock Island. tes-
tilted as to the contracts with Harri-
man and his associates for Joint con-
troll of the Alton, and that there was
10 other written or verbal agreement.
Moore said that while the contract was
still being fully observed its effect was
nominal. He and his associates had
expected benefits from thearrangement
that had not materialized. and their
carrier plans in connection with the
project had not been carried out

.SIGLER ASKS AID
TO SEEK MOTHER
After Long Years of separa-
ton He Yearns For
Maternal Caresses.

Chief Rimbach received letter this
afternoon from New York City from
Leo Sigler. requesting the police to
try and locate his mother for him.
About ten years ago Mr.. sigler lived
IN Hammond and ran a drug store and
on account of family troubles, he sud-
denly left and since then until today
no one has ever heard of him. He had
two sons and these he took with him,
and his neighbors supposed he had
either committed suicide or gone to
Germany.
After leaving Hammond Sigler's
wife married pressman who was en-
ployed at the Conkey plant and later
went TO Indianapolis, where she was
lest heard from. She is said to have
supposed that her former husband was
dead and never knew where the child
rem were.
The police have tried to locate Mrs
Slgier but can only find out that she
went to Indianapolis.
In his letter Leo Sigler says he has
been trying to locate his mother for
the last two years, but only a few
days ago found that she had formerly
lived at Hammond.

NEW IDEA FOR INVENTORS.
Something the World Needs and
Would Pay Well For.

Inventors would get untold gobs Of
free advertising if they would give to
their inventions names rymping with
some one or other Of our 5000 rhyme
less words" an editor said.
Take the word silver 1t has no
rhyme 1t is a stumbling block to ev-
cry poet. The poet uses 1t at a lines
end and then has to destroy the line
because there is no rhyme for it. Sup
pose. as he sought frantically, an in
vention called the oliver appeared.
Then, in order not to lose his line,
the poet would drag in the new inven-
ton, thus giving 1t an 'ad' worth IS to
SO, an ad like this:
The moonlit sea, 6 sea OF silver,
AS perfect as perfect oliver.
do you catch the idea? Yet our in
ventors exercise their best talent, call

a 'gorange' to rhyme with orange, a
home ice-making machine 'kulf to
rhyme with gulf and so on

RECORD ABSENT AMERICANS.

Recommendations for changes in the
naturalization laws OF the United
States have been submitted to con-
gress by special commission-Dr
David Jayne Hin, minister to the Meth
erlands; James B. Scott. solicitor of
the state department, and Gaillard
Hunt chief Of the passport bureau
A plan for keeping an accurate rec
ord Of Americans living abroad is pro-
vided for. 1t is suggested that the
state department issue certificates Of
nativity to all American born citizens
living outside the United States. The
American boys living abroad, when
Is years old, are to register with the
American consular Office declaring
their intention of becoming citizens of
this country, and at 81 they are to
take the oath Of allegiance All Amer
leans living outside of this country are
to be required to register with an
American consular officer at least once
a year
1t is recommended that the expatri-
alton of American citizens be assumed
when they obtain naturalization IN
another country; when they engage
IN the service of another power. or
when they remain domlciled in a for
eign country for five years withouth
taking steps to maintain their Ameri-
can citizenship.
American women who marry foreign
ers should, IN the opinion Of the COM
mfttee, be permitted to resume their
American citizenship if they make ap-
plicat1on within one year after the

enough to carry on the improvements,

Bailey Finally Exonerated by the

Strong Minority.
POLITICAL DEATH IS PROMISED

Makes Charges Against Two of Them

Austin, Tex, Feb. 2S.-By vote of
40 to 40 out of a possible 1913 votes,
eighteen members being absent, Unit
ed States Senator Bailey was exoner-
ated by the lower house of the Texas
legislature on all charges of irregular
acts in public life as alleged by Rep
resentative Cooke, Of the lower house,
on Ian. ii last. The senate had already
exonerated Bailey without waiting to
hear the report of its investigators,
and the house did the same thing. The
galleries of the house had been crowd
ed with spectators, many ladies being
present, and once Baileys exoneration
was assured by the adoption of the
majority report declaring that there
was nothing in the evidence in any
way rejecting upon him, the climax
was reached when Bailey appeared
and addressed the house.
Bailey's Friends Are Happy.
The scene attendant upon Senator
Bailey's appearance was most dramat-
ic His friends rushed In, shouting
carried him to the speakers stand.
Bailey, while bitterly abusing those
who opposed him, announced that he
was going to continue as United States
senator from Texas for at least three
terms. He said in part: you have
just concluded the most remarkable
campaign ever witnessed in any state
of the American Union, and be it said
to your honor that you have concluded
1t In accordance with the will of the
sovereign people.
He Accuses His Accusers.
"The conspirators have been given
a wholesome lesson. Never agan will
they attempt 1t within this generation.
Never again viii they wear the hon.
orS of Texas Democracy In their life.
Such men would betray a republic If
Hessians were for hire. The leader Of
the contest was a man who has gam
bled with negroes and if he attempts
to deny 1t l will prove it on him. One
of them was convicted Of embezzle-
ment, and yet he is here drawing his
cloak about him saying that he cannot
keep the Democratic commandments.
