DIR. KEMP DID NOT BITE
Two Sharpers with a Get Rich Quick
Scheme Come to Grief at
Washington.

Washington, Jan. II. What Is
charged by the police to be scheme
to defraud a Washington physician out
of $1,000 led to the arrest Of Frank #.
Romans, of Paris, France, and David
T. Tanner, alias Townsend, of White
Plains, n. Y, on the charge of con-
spiracy. The two men were taken into
custody in an uptown hotel after DR..
Thomas ]. Kemp, Of this city, had re-
ported to the police that Tanner had
made proposition to him to enter into
deal ito put New York gambling
house cut of business
Or. Kemp declares that the men as
sured him that by investing $1,000 he
could easily win from 100000 to $780,
900 within one week. The physician,
however, says he did not put up any
money, but encouraged the men to Sc
cure evidence. The "get-rich-quick"
scheme. according to DR.. Kemp's re-
port to the police, was that DIR. Kemp
was to pay $4,000, and Tanner, who
claimed to be manager of the gambling
house, was ito tip Romans and the
physician off on the run Of the cards in

WITH THE EDITORS.
Confuse Niagra and Calumet.

Ofdeers of the sanitary district have
gone to Washington to ask the war de-
partment for a permit to build two
supplemental canals. The Evanston
one is needed for the sanitary protec-
ton of the residents in the extreme
northern part of the city. The re-
yersal of the flow of the Calumet is es-
sentiaI to the health of the inhabf-
tants of the southern part of the city.
year ago it was taken for granted
that there would be no opposition TO
the Calumet project. The rock of the
drainage channel was made on gen
erous scale, so that the intended Calu-
met division might be provided for
But some Americans and Canadians,
members Of an international waterways
commission, have pronounced against
the CauImet project. They say that
the navigation of the great lakes Will
suffer if Chicago will use more than
10000 cubic feet of water a second for
sanitary purposes, and as the Chicago
river can take care Of that amount
of water, no water from the Calumet
should be allowed to enter the drainage
channel. If they had the last voice in
the matter the sewage which drains
into the Calumet would continue to
flow into the lake and pollute its wa
ters until some method Of taking care
of the sewage other than the one which
has been contemplated for nearly TWEEN
ty vars. should be devised and carried
out.
There are many senators who will
not consent to the impounding of the
waters of Lake Michigan to the sore
injury Of a city which must draw on
them to dispose of its sewage and pre-
serve the purity of its water supply.
The great danger is that the war de-
partment, unduly influenced by the re-
port OF the commission. may attempt
to limit the flow through the drainage
channel to 10000 cubic feet second
and refuse to authorize the contem-
plated Calumet river work An appeal
could be taken to congress from an
unjust decision, but there should be no
occasion for an appeal.
The secretary of war has heard from
the waterways commission about hypo-
thetical dangers to take advantageeta
thetic dangers to lake navigation If the
flow through the drainage channel Is
not limited. The representatives of the
sanitary district will tell him of the
frreparable injury to this city and its
inhabitants If the flow were to be linn
tied 1t is not possible that after hear
ing all the facts and becoming aware
of the zeal issue in this controversy he
will decide against icago-Chicago

Bees Died from overwork.

The beeman, as he gently removed
q tawny cluster of bees from his
beard said:
Above all things, never set a bee

An arc light emitting a powerful
illumination was put up last spring
near my beehives. The night 1t was

daylight, worked like beavers, though
dead tired.
When the dawn came and the light
was extinguished the bees, quite worn

Between Trains

There is a saloon in Chicago which
Is located on one corner OF three
cornered block" said a Chicago visitor
yesterday. 1T is large place and
has three entrances, the main one be-
ing on the street having the largest
transit. the principal side door further
down the street and the other on the
avenue.
"One evening a bunch of young fell
lows went out for a good time, and of
course dropped into a number of sa
looms. 1t was not long before they be
came intoxicated and each started to
give his own idea as to what was the
best thing to do for the continuance
Of their evenings frolic. One of them
wanted to have his own way and the
result was that he soon drifted away
from the others. He wandered down
the street until he came to a saloon
with three entrances, and, going up to
the side door of the avenue, walked III
and up to the bar. He asked for q
drink, but the bartender looked at him
carefully and finally replied:
" Can't give you anything tonight;
you've had too much already
so the fellow walked out and soon
came to the main entrance and walked
up to the bar.
Give me drink of whisky
This time the bartender looked at
him angrily.
Z just told you a minute ago that
can't sell you anything; you are too
drunk now, without getting any more
drinks. Now get out"
"'All right said the fellow. there
are plenty of other places in this city
that will sell it to me- and he walked
out again.
He then walked down the street
until he came to the other side en-
trance and entered. This time he
walked up as erect as he could and
dropping a coin on the bar, asked for
drink.
This time the bartender went wild
Didn't I tell you I would not sell
you q drink? Get out of here double
quick or I'll kick you out
The intoxicated man looked at the
bartender for few seconds and finally
broke out with:
well, for heavens sake, do you
work in every saloon in the darn
town."

ernor William S. Taylor, now resident
here, but under indictment in that
state for completely in the Goebel MUIR
der, is taking extra precautions and is
constantly on his guard night and day.
The reason for the plot is said to be
revenge for the taking of the officers
of the Western Federation of Miners
from Colorado into Idaho for trial in
the latter state for murder, an act that
the supreme court has upheld.
The Appeal to Reason, the socialist
organ, has offered 1000 to any one
who will kidnap Taylor and deliver
him to the Kentucky authorities The
paper declares that Taylor is a RE
publican politician and capitalist" and
that the supreme court would not up
hold kidnapping him as it has done in
tho case of the miners.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE stock mar
ket displayed considerable firmness at
the opening in sympathy with higher
prices from abroad for American secur-
tiles. The particular strong features
We're St. Paul, Union Pacific. Southern
Pacific and Copper. All Of these
issues showed gains varying from
one half to one and one half per
cent. over the final sales Satur-
day, But after the overSunday
records to buy had ben executed, the
market lapsed into dizziness and pro-
fessionals took advantage of every little
squirt to sell some stocks and on the
weakness buy them back again.
In the late afternoon a general sell
ing movement appeared throughout the
list which brought quite a drastic re-
action in one or two of the higher
priced securities that have been lead
ers in this upward movement
St Paul, which was exceptionally
strong early in the session became
weak and declined three points. ii
dragged with 1t the balance of the
higher priced shares. such as New YORK
Central, which sold off from 1881 to
1909; Pennsylvania from 1863 tic
Copper from 1909 to 119.
The reason given for the weakness
in the late afternoon was the fears ex-
pressed by a great many of the pes
traders that new issues of stocks are
more than likely to be put out oS

Hours Of Trainmen.

The United States senate has passed
the bill which limits the working hours
OF railroad men TO sixteen hours for
one day. which period must be followed
by ten hours of duty. There is little
doubt but that the overworking of
employees has been responsible for a
large number Of the wrecks that have
taken place during the last few years.
But the public was not prepared for
the figures which Senator La Toilette
presented during his argument in ia
vor OF the measure He charged and
gave figures and dates to prove his
assertion, that twenty of the twenty
one wrecks between the adjournment
of congress last summer ana Sept 6
we're due to the excessive hours fore
ed on the men. The engineer who was
responsible for the recent g. & o.
wreck had worked from o'clock Fri
day morning until $50 Sunday even
ing with but two four-hour rests.
Little wonder that there is q contro-
versy as to whether the proper signal
was displayed. The railroads are pros
perous-very prosperous. They are
doing so we'll that the holders of
stocks and bonds are active with man
ipulation This activity is possible for
the reason that the dividends show UP
all right more liberal policy con-
corning the employees might interfere
with dividends and steD stock juggling.

ERRED BOTH COMM AND COIN
Responsible for the Alleged "Cussed-
aess" of the Negro.
Then When He Gets Into Trouble
Furnishes Him Illegally, Says
the South Carolina
Statesman.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Senator Till
man was in his element in the senate
when he rose to speak ON the Foraker
resolution relating to the Brownsville
affair. And he had a large audience,
the floor and galleries being crowded,
many representatives coming in to
hear him. He began by declaring that
THE president of the United States
IS the prosecutor as well as the eXecu-
toner. The array Of counsel for the
defense and prosecution is not yet CON-
plete So far as their names have ap-
peared on the record there is an ele-
ment Of incongruity and Of the ridicu-
lous. For instance. as attorneys aiding
the prosecution we have the distin-
guished senator from Texas [Culber-
sonl. a Democrat; the distinguished
senator from Massachusetts LLodgel,
a Republican,: the distinguished sena-
tor from Virginia [Daniell, a Demo-
crat.
Thinks 1t an Odd Alliance.
"And for the defense, if it shall be
so considered, when l get through l
will be put in the record as aiding the
! distinguished senator from Ohio For
| akerl. OF course, being nothing more
| than a 'cornfield lawyer my contribu-
tlon to the legal discussion of the ques-
ton will be very limited; probably
| comparatively worthless. But
| the righteousness of the situation is
again apparent when one considers
| that the senator from the north. who

utterances and probably actions in the
past once acquired the name OF

with that senator from the south

to Justify lynching for rape, and whose
attitude, If not that of hatred to the
negro, is a feeling akin to it,

He declared that the presidents or

that the uniform of the enlisted mar

WYATT TILL THE BELL RINGS"
Before the Fire Alarm" Goes or
Says the South Carolinian.

Being asked by Foraker what would
happen to Sergeant Mingo-one of the
discharged negro soldiers whose home
is in South Carolina-if he went back
to his home Tillmau broke out: Don't
you fret; am going to get right down
to the milk in the cocoanut, but don't
want the fire alarm to go off until the
bell rings" Laughter Tillman con-
vulsed the galleries and amused many
senators a minute later by illustrating
the discrimination between the races
in Washington. Negroes are not al
lowed to drink at all the bars In
in Washington. Negroes are not allowed
to drink at all the bars in Washing
ton, as you all know" he said, the
last three words being given especial
emphasis as the senator waved his
hand to include the whole senate.
Returning to the Brownsville affair
Tillman declared that It was contrary
to the fundamental principles of lib
erty in English and United States law
that the innocent should suffer because
of the sins of the guilty, and he de-
clared that man shall be considered
innocent until he is proved guilty. In
this case" he said, "167 men have been
| punished while not more than twenty
have been charged with participation
in the. crime"
! He characterized the presidents ac-
| ton in the matter "as nothing more
or less than lynching." He challenged
any one to produce in the army regu-
! lations or articles of war any founda-
ton for the charge of conspiracy of
silence, mutiny and treason made
against the soldiers, although he de-
ciared there was no doubt that the sol
diers were responsible for the outrage
at Brownsville
Later, replying to remark Patterson
Of Colorado had made. Tillman said:
so far as my own party IS concerned
in the north it is such a shining ex-
ample of ward politicians, dirty, low
creatures, who use every tactics and
all means to buy votes, that | don't
care If we never have any of that type
to back rs up. We have got no use
for them"
