BLEW SAFE By PROXY
CURIOUS STORY FROM JOLIET
PENITENTIARY.

CHICAGO, February 2S.-Edwin 8. Tate.
q gentleman" burglar, recently captured
In New York, was brought here yesterday
to answer for an ordinary fla. burglary,
and It became known that he was wanted
in Peoria upon a much more serious charge.
duplicating at least four prominent citizens
and officials of that city.
The specific charge at Peoria is that
Tate and several accomplices, one a
woman dynamited the safe In the office Of
the board of school inspectors to make 1t
appear that certain evidence of wrong
doing by prominent persons, contained in
the safe, had been destroyed. Tate, it is
said. became engaged IN the enterprise at
the instance of Prof. Newton c. Dougherty,
an educator and ffnancier of Peoria, now
serving a term at Joliet for robbing the
city and the Peoria National Bank. of
which he was president. of 100000. Dough-
erty had been superintendent of the Peoria
public schools for twenty-five years, was a
former president OF the National Educa-
tfonal Association, being, with Nicholas
Murray Butler and one other, trustee of the
$4,000 fund of the association. He was
at the head of several of Peoria's largest
enterprises. He was discovered to be a
defaulter and forger in October last, was
indicted on 140 counts. was sentenced to
an indeterminate term of from one to
fourteen years, and entered Joliet prison
the prison records, with Tate, under SEN
tence for burglary, as his assistant.
Hired a Cracksman.
In investigating Dougherty's acts it was
discovered that they had been shared in
by others who were to have been indicted
last month. The evidence against them,
consisting Of forged school scrip and other
papers, was placed in the office of the
school inspectors. The destruction of these
papers would prevent the indictment of
Dougherty's accomplices, to whose influence
Dougherty looked for release from prison,
and would also prevent further proceedings
against Dougherty himself.
1t Is asserted that Dougherty, with the
aid of his interested friends, had Tate
paroled on condition that he destroy the
damaging records in the safe. The story
Is that Tate. with the aid OF q Peoria
lawyer Chicago crook and a woman
secured access. on January last, to the
oHces OF the board Of education, opened the
safe, removed the papers and then de-
stroyed the safe by dynamiting it to give
the impression that the work was that
OF ordinary safeblowers. The records were
destroyed.
Tate is said to. have received 5000 for
the JOB. while the Chicago crook got 1000
and the woman $500, the money being paid.
1t Is declared, by men prominent in Peoria's
business and social circles.
rate spent his money here, turned
trick by breaking into a fiat, was arrested,
gave bond and disappeared. He was found
In New York. He declares that he had
nothing to do with the Peoria Swallowing,
and for the present is held merely to an
sWer for the fiat robbery.

GEORGE WASHINGTONS
BEAT BLUE AND GRAY

In basket ball game last night the
George Washington university broke the
Ice and entered the won column for the
first time in athletics against Georgetown
University, the contest resulting in the
score Of IS to 16.
The contest was pulled of at Carroll In
stitute gymnasium and was witnessed by a
large contingent Of followers of both uni
versities, who were very enthusiastic over
the outcome, as 1t was the first time the
local rivals have come together in this
sport.
Although handicapped in the first half
by the absence Of Rice; the crack little for
ward, and Cable one Of their best backs,
the Hatchetites entered the game with
determination to give the Georgetown boys
a hard rub and in the first few minutes of
play they had secured a good lead. The
absence of Rice was caused by illness, he
having been advised by his physician to
keep clear of the game last night. Gable
was declared ineligible by the faculty be-
cause Of some misunderstanding over GER
tain studies. Toward the end Of the first
half the Georgetown five took a brace,
which was quite as damaging as that of the
winners, and when the half was concluded
the Blue and Gray quint was leading by
five points. At this stage Of the game Man.
ager Robey became a little worried and
concluded that some changes had to be
made In order to make the game interest
ing. Rice, who happened to be in the au-
dience. was quickly asked to don a uniform
by the heady manager. 1t was a wise move.
as the little forward seemed to put new
life into the other players.
Rice and Eichelberg played about the
best ball, especially the latter, who sur
prised the followers of the winners In the
first half by his clever playing, and again
in the second. when he practically won the
game for his team With only few Sec
onds to play and with the score a tie he
made the most sensational toss for a goal
of the evening. This clever piece Of work
won the game for George Washington and
gave them their first victory against
Georgetown.

Registration Of Automobiles.

Representative Cocks of New York has
introduced a bill in the House providing for
the federal registration of automobiles.
The measure was drawn by the American
Automobile Association and is designed to
relieve travellers of the annoyance of OBJ
tanning licenses in each state in which
they travel. The bill provides that owners
of machines shall register them under the
laws of the state In which they live, but
that a national registration shall make
registration unnecessary in other states
which the machines may enter.

A NEW TARIFF ERA.

One of the most compelling reasons
for affirming that a new tariff era is
opening is the development which mas
taken place in the manufacturing Of
the country. This makes directly
against the present high tariff and
greatly those who are
demanding revision in order that they
may have larger markets abroad. 1t
must be remembered that this ques-
ton of enlarging our foreign markets
is vital to our prosperity. We are
able to make much more than we are
now making But we are learning the
lesson that foreigners cannot buy OF
us unless they can also sell to US.
They must have market for their
goods if we are to have market for
ours. More and more Of our manu-
facturers realize this fundamental
condition of international trade. Con-
sequently there is a growing demand,
which will not take no for an answer,
that our tariff be so far reduced that
foreign producers may find better
market here. This is the inspiration
of the movement which, for several
years, has almost reached the point
of political rebellion in Massachusetts
and Iowa and is gaining strength for
the next encounter. This element
cares nothing for the theories of
political economy. These men mere
ly see a market which they want and
which they can have if we lower our
tariff.-R. l.. Bridgman.
