Before 1t was put MT Malone inquired when the report of the bureau of assess ment on Clark street would be ready and addressing MT Fitzsimons, who Is a member of the bureau, asked why 1t Is being delayed. MT Fitzsimons re- piled that it isn't being delayed at 'all, and added that there is yet great deal of work to be done on it. It is bigger job. he said than many appreciate and requires a great deal |of consideration. However, it is go- ing along nicely and will be ready soon. The motion to adjourn was then put and carried.

OFFICERS NEW CAPS
Very Much Like Part of inc
 GrOWIer RegaIia.

The white caps which the officers of the police department will wear during the summer are the facsimile of the head-gear which an outdoor organization popularly known as the Growlers wear at their annual clam bake every summer. Dress up a Growler's cap with the glad lace and other things which decorate the cap adopted by the board of safety for the police officers and there is not a particle of difference noticeable, in casual glance. The only room for argument is in the length of the glazed peak, which in the poloceman's s cap is slightly longer, but not so much as to be observedwithout more than a glance or two. Even the material of the white part is the same in the two caps, though 1t seems to be some what of a better quality in the po- lice officers. And still, the members of the board of safety committee who recommended the new summer cap for the police officers are not mem bers of the Growlers.

THE IEFFLER SYSTEM.
Americans Want More Speed With
 Greater Safety and Comfort.

| SAStssSA SeAASsT s&AA SS@AA&SA"
 Steam power has about reached its limit. It is simply impossible to make it run a machine of any kind much faster than the present fast trains. They could never reach 100 miles an hour and keep it up.,. Steam has had its day. This is the electrical age and people demand faster travel, If they can get it with perfect safe ty, ease and comfort
 The trolley car and third rail sys- tenn, now in use, have about reached the limit at which they can run at en- tire safety.
 If they ran any faster their motors would burn out and they are con- stantly liable to jump the track.
 The Leffier system does away en- tirely with the motor and makes 1t impossible for the car to jump the track. Not only that, but 1t runs easier, more smoothly. and more per- fectly comfortable than any other system.
 It can easily maintain speed of from so to 200 miles an hour. In fact, only the resistance of the air could prevent train running at any other number of miles an hour.
 It has no place where power can be lost. and power means speed. And most peculiar and strange of all, 1t only costs half as much to operate as any other system.
 They have got the greatest advance ever made in the railway business. both standard and street, system far ahead of the present steam railroads as steam railroads were ahead of the old OK teams: and as far ahead of the present trolley car as the trolley car Is ahead of the mule car.
 They absolutely control the next step of progress in the electrical world.
 They make it possible to change every steam railroad into an electric road. with cars that will run in all weathers without delay, damage or danger-faster and safer than was ever heard of before.
 They can run trains faster and make them safer, more comfortable and easier to ride in than can be done by any other system ever thought of by man.
 If you do not know this system in- vestigate it carefully before you question one word said about It.
 This iss system absolutely com plete. Not a dream of what they hope to make.
 They have a car and system built which has been in operation for two years for the purpose of working out all the problems. It is a system that has cost fourteen years of hard work and thousands of dollars to perfect to point whsre practically nothing Is left to be done.

CARRIES TO TRY
TO BEAT SHERIDAN
Westerner Thought to Have a
Good Chance for All-Around
Championship.
is NOW HARD AT WORK
Trainer Fitzpatrick, of Michigan,
Giving Young Athlete Special
Course.

NEW YORK. June 22.-The an
nouncement that Johnny Garrels. the
Wolverine hurdler, will try for this
years Amateur Athletic Union ala
round championship against the vet
eran Sheridan at the Jamestown I'm
position on July 4th has set the ath-
letic buzgmilis going. Thera are all
kinds OF speculations as to tho winner.
Some hold that the big policeman. who
has been tried so many times AMI
never found wanting, Will again como
out to the good. Many other athletic
seers, however. baslng their opinion
on Garrels'. showing in the recent
intercollegiate meet, declare that this
year will see Sheridan's downfall and
are preparing to hail new cham
pion in GarreIs.
Garrels is training steadily at Ann
Arbor. Trainer Keene Fitzpatrick, of
Michigan, is giving the hurdler hur-
ried course In training for the ham,
mer throw. the ffty-six pound weight
event and the mile walk. The time
Is short before the big meet, but Fitz
has hopes OF getting his candidate
into shape. Fitz will expect Garrels to
win, as he believes him the best ath-
lete In America to-day.
Garrels's entry in the big battle as
sures a very close contest for the all
round championship. Sheridan. 1t is
said. has recovered fully from the eff
fects Of a strained tendon which kept
him out OF last years contest. He still
has his old-time endurance. which is
expected to carry him through the
muscle and nerve-racking events In
the way 1t did in 1906, when he out
distanced all competitors. But Garrels,
who hammered for two seasons
against the strongest football de-
lenses that the West could produce,
has also acquired the endurance Of q
giant. Garrels has ever been sur
prise man, and may spring another
one on sheridan's supporters just as
| he did on the hackers OF the crack
Eastern hurdlers in the intercol-
Ilegiates at Harvard Stadium
Athletic seers who have watched
both men think the met will go soma
thing like this. Garrels should take
the 1o0-yard dash and the shot put,
lSheridan to take the next two events
the high jump and the mile walk. The
hammer throw, the next event in orr
der, is doubtful. with the chances
lslightly In favor of Sheridan. The
pole vault. 1t is prophesied. will go to
| Sheridan and the high hurdles to Gar
rels, with ease. Sheridan is scheduled
to win the fifty-alx pound weight
event and the other events are doubt
full. Fasteners generally think that
Sheridan's exceptional stamina will
win for him again.

Fights.
Experts are finding little choice be-
tween the two crews, ard not a few
agree that the outcome will depend
upon the stamina of the men in the
last quarter mile. The Yale varsity
eight Is considered to be fully up to
tho standard OF the best Yale crews
as rowing unit.
Only Stroke Bolton and Captain Ide
are veterans Of race against the
Crimson. The crew Is a heavier one
than last year. averaging ITO pounds
to the man. OF long-muscled type. a
combination which Coach Kennedy has
developed to pull g machine-like
stroke Of fine reach. with hard Les
drive, a clean finish and quick re-
covery. while the mm swing with
elasticity and neatness in board. The
crew has been sent over the four-mile
course several times, but mt q stroke
never extending thirty-three.
The Harvard crews at Rad Top have
not been on the river as many days
as their opponents. and the varsity
eight only twice has been ove- the
full course, and the trial was a stiff
one, in which some of the men showed
the effects OF the work; but this was
expected. because OF the fact r.lat~the
men are only just coming into prime
condition.
The crew is made up mostly OF last
years veterans. The men are power
full. and they pull stroke which drives
the boat fast while the oars are driv-
ing through the water. and but q
slight check is noticeable at present or
the recovery. which viii be eradicaf1
as the crew reaches perfect form
There is not the machine-like preci-
sion in the swing as in the Yale boat
but the power is there.

THE POOR UMPIRE
ALWAYS GETS IT
After All, They're Only Human,
and Deserve Some
Consideration.

The Cleveland Press, in making
plea for the poor abused Jump, says:
I'm the marvellous evolution OF base
ball--from the days OF riot and rowdy-
ism; from the days of the free use of
the spikes in disabling tip, players on
the opposing team, and from the days
when the dreadful language used on
the diamond served to drive many
spectators from the stands-to to-day.
the cleanest OF all American sports,
the umpire has been shamefully, heart
iessly and cruelty overlooked and neg
lected. 1t Ia indeed strange in this
day-when we boast OF absolute fair
ness and sportsmanship in baseball
that the men who are employed to
judge the points OF play honestly and
impartially should still be subject to
the verbal assaults of the players and
to the bowls and Kisses OF the spect2-
tors. all of whom would quickly re-
sent the iml>utation that they didn't
love fair play or that they would do
any honest man an injustice.
Profession Is Clean.
1T Is remarkable tribute to the
umpires Of the country, past ara pres-
ent-indeed most remarkable tribute
that they have kept their profession
not only absolutely clean. but far and
away above the suspicion OF dishon-
esty. Easy it is to imagine what
temptations an umpire might find-if
he walked in temptations path-hefore
and during great series of games like
the Athletic-New York series of 1905
or the sox-Cub series OF 1906. With
many hundreds OF thousands OF dollars
wagered upon the result by profess
sional gamblers-upon a result that
one base on balls or one decision at a
base might Nhange-what would 1t not
be worth to these unprincipled plung-
ers to have the advantage Of pur-
chased umpire in the game ready,
should the game hinge on so narrow a
margin, to swing the verdict in their
direction?
The Fooiishncss OF 1t.
There Is something unutterably
brutal and heartless about a fierce at
tack by players and spectators upon
officials who. in over thirty years Of
organized baseball have never once
been afraid to put their heads out into
Gods sunshine. 1t Is such utter i'm
becilic folly to suppose that men like
Connolly, Hurst. Evans. OFLoughlin,
Stafford and Sheridan care single
snap of their fingers which club
wins any particular game as long as
the umpire himself is conscious at the
close OF the contest that he did his own
work faithfully and fearlessly.
THE umpires ask for no applause
from the spectators. They demand no
spot or place in the story OF the game
as it appears in the newspapers, al
though they have worked harder than
any one else to make that game sue
cess But. although they do not ask it,
the umpires have a right to demand
that, in this day of advanced baseball,
when the erstwhile disgraceful injus-
tees to the players and spectators on
the fields have been swept away-the
men who hold the indicators be treated
as their unimpeachable record for hon
be treated.
