POLICE SPOIL IT
Chicago Man Appeals to Local
Authorities to Prevent His
Wife's EIopement.
ENR0UTE TO CALIFORNIA
Scene on Train Between Two Men
Causes Commotion-Mrs. Fred Fraz-
er and G. r. Landers Principals.

An attempted elopement with num-
her of unusual features was terminated
this morning by the action of the Rock
Island police, and the dream of Mrs.
Fred Frazer, wife of Chicago real es-
tate agent, and G.. +. Landers, bar
tender of Chicago, was spoiled by the
appearance of Night Captain Burk, De
teCtive Cox. and Officer Diegen on
train No. of the Rock Island, passing
through Rock Island wcstbound at
SIS. How the romance began does
not appear, but its ending for the pres
ent occurred when Mrs. Frazer depart
ed for Chicago on the next eastbound
train, accompanying her husband and
her mother.
Mother Gives the Tip.
1t seems that Mrs Frazer had dis
posed of some of her property and had
secured a through ticket to California
representing to her husband that she
intended visiting sister of his at San
Francisco. Mrs. Frazer is about II
years Old and has charming Jewish
features. She wore a number of costly
jewels. and everything about her indi-
Gated her to be woman of at least
moderate wealth
The young wifes mother learned Of
the planned elopement. and Mr.. Frazer
was given the tip by his mother-in-law
So he and his wife's mother boarded
the same train i'll Chicago. Landers
stepped aboard the train at EnglewOOd
1t was some time before the mother
and husband learned which of the male
passengers on the train was his wife'5
lover. but when he did he and Land
ers engaged in a row, which threw the
whole train into an uproar. The scene
on board the train occurred some dis
lance this side of Joliet.
Would Not he Persuaded.
Landers, it appears, was armed,
though he had disposed of his weapon
before the train reached Rock Island.
After the scene between the husband
and the lover, Mr.. Frazer and his moth
er-ln-law entieavOred 10 induce the
young wife to return home to Chicago
and leave Landers, but they failed in
their effort, the young woman express
ing her determination TO continue the
journey. Finding persuation in vain,
Mr.. Frazer decided to call upon the au-
thorities. and the Rock Island police
were telegraphed to take the young
woman from the train.
Taken on by Police.
Mrs Frazer was taken in charge by
Detective Cox, Captain Burk, and Off.
Ger Diegen. when the train reached
this city. Landers was allowed to con
tinue his journey alone. Mrs. Frazer

HAS NOT ADMITTED IT.

Though Roosevelt said Parker was not telling the truth when Parker was telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, the President does not, though he should admit his error and apologize to Judge Parker. He was possibly ignorant of the real facts, and possibly believed he was justified in contradicting Judge Park CT. but it has been so abundantly shown that he either did not know what he was talking about or that he deliberately misstated the facts that he should now confess the wrong he did Judge Parker and the wrong he did the truth. Concerning this little matter the Montgomery Advertiser well says: When Judge Parker de- clared that corporation funds were be ing used to elect President Roosevelt

TUESDAY, MAY [, 1907.
TAINTED NEWS BUREAUS.

The current number of Golfers Weekly, says the Buffalo Courier, bas a three-page article exposing the methods of several news bureaus said to be organized to oppose municipal ownership throughout the country by means of tainted news items. Photo graphs of items appearing in dailies in different cities are exhibited, all in Ucating that an attempt is being made to lead the unwary reader'to believe that water, gas, electric and other plants owned by the municipalities are failures and that the only safety for the public is private ownership of these utilities"
 It is alleged that these news" items are we'll paid for, the papers using them receiving sometimes as high as $20 a column. Eastern papers, for in stance, will receive a dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., that the waterworks in that city, owned and operated by the municipality, has been terrible bur den, and predicting that the people will soon sell out to private com pany. The natter which was appear ing generally in the East, was called to the attention of Lincoln citizens, and an indignant protest was sent out through the regular press dispatches Golfers contains a photograph of the dispatch stating that the Commercial club is preparing letter of denial which will be sent to the newspapers of the country.
 Misrepresentation of this kind may, therefore, act as boomerang on the tainted news bureaus. It will occur to fair-minded people that if sentiment for municipal ownership cannot be checked by any other means, save by the maintenance of lying news agen- cies, its opponents are in a bad way One of the curious features of the crusade, according to Golfers. is that many editors Were misled into print ing the statements, when carefully sandwiched between items of political began and ended with innocent chit chat, while in the center appeared al- legged statistics proving that munic ipal ownership had been disastrous in many towns and cities of the coun try

Memphis, May Gone of the heaviest downpours' of rain record ed here in years occurred early to- day, the precipitation in 10 hours being 2.56 inches.

 Late tonight another storm of wind and rain, considered the most severe that has been experienced in this section in years. swept over this city and vicinity. Considera- ble damage is reported to have oc- cured in the delta section of Mis- sissippi, but details are meager be- cause of the prostration of tele- ] graph wires.

GENTLENESS AND MEEkNESS.

Some few days ago the Quanai (TeXas) Observer had this to say about the gentleness of real leader of men:
 Did you ever study a real leader o1 men? Every gesture is shy and pen sive, the voice melodious and caress- ing. He is not a fighter, but per
 suader. He is a wizard whose glamour
 is irrestible The spell is bewitching
 and gracious. But, after all, you come
 to find there is iron under the velvet.
 Gentleness is always born of great strength. It is like the exhaustless fountain whose secret springs are hid den away
 Commenting upon this the Fort Worth Record drew very pretty, and we believe, altogether correct distinc- tion between gentleness and meekness and it is well worth remembering. The Record says:
 "Gentleness should not be confound- ed with meekness. A meek man can never develop very great strength, while gentle man may cover and protect the iron will by his very un- assuming manner. Look out for the man who is velvet to the touch but granite rock to the push.
