LAYS IT TO POLITICS
Building Inspector Noi Satisfied
 With Report.


 Mir Chatfield's expression on the finding of the committee of the board of safety, is just what could only be expected. He charges the committee with partisanship, stating that it was appointed to make trouble for him. and to oust him from the office if pos sible. The fact that the committee was not unanimous in it's finding con- vinces him that he has strong hold on the job yet, moreover because the minority finding 4 is republican, to which party Mir Chatfeld owes his po- sition. The finding was signed only by the democratic members of the committee, Spain and Minor, while, as appears elsewhere, the minority of the committee, Commissioner Marggraff, filed separate report. Mir Chattield charges the committee with being prejudiced the tool of the labor unions and lot of other mean things.
 The loss of his position, if such should turn out to be the result, may not be the heaviest blow to Mir Chat field. There are at least half dozen lawyers who have rod in the pickle for some one, and if it turns out that he is the one, he will certainly have his fill of law suits for damages.
 There is a demand among the law yers for copies of the evidence given at the hearing of the charges against Mir Chatfield, for it is upon what was testified to, more than the finding of any municipal board. that a suit for damages would be based against Mr Chatfield
 The lawyers admit that to all ex- ternal appearances. at least. the hear ing was as broad as it could possibly be. everyone connected with the re- mOval of the house on Farm street, the floor of which collapsed during a political rally, being examined most minutely. The lawyers have been waiting for this report of the commit tee of the board of safety. expecting that it would help them in placing re- sponsibility for the injuries sustained. One death resulted from the accident.

CLEWS DEFEwJ- nUOSEVELT
Wall Street Man Puts Presidents
 Name In Trinity With Deity.

Ndme IH iTiHiIy "itn DSity.
 New York. Dec. 27.-Defending the president from the charge of responsi- bility for the recent financial panic, Henry Clews. the Wall street veteran, at big meeting of the Peoples insti- tute in Cooper Union went so far as to say the nation for four years might combine God. the country and Theo- dore Roosevelt in "a glorious trinity" He said it was unfair that President Roosevelt should be attacked.
 "Of the elimination of the godly mot to on our gold coin.' said Clews. many people may think it means Tn President Roosevelt we trust, but God we distrust.' am sure, however, the great mass of the American people do not think that way. They believe in trusting both God and the president, and if the president will put back Cod on the American coin they may yet and even against his will nut him back in the White House for another term, thus making our motto. God first, our country second and Theodore Roose- welt third'-that :s. for third term the three to be together one and in- separable for the next four years. glorious trinity

LAW AGAINST NINE PINS.
But None Against Ten-How Game
 Was Started Here.

About 1887 Connecticut passed a law prohibiting nine pin alleys. He- man Coe kept the Hammonassett house in Madison, which is still used as summer resort. The only amuse- ment MT Coe had for his boarders was his alley, and he felt the loss of it to mean his ruin. Jonathan Coe built his alley and kept him supplied with pins; to him Heman Coe hur- ried the morning after the governor signed the bill, and this was his sal- utation: Jonathan, 1 am ruined! The governor has signed the bill and I am liable to a fine of $50 if I allow my boarders to roll ball; what shall do?"
 Jonathan asked how the law read. Heman handed him the paper in which he read the law, and said: "Heman, it is too bad; are you going directly home? If so, would like to ride down as far as Boston street with you, but I must first go to my shop for a bundle, which I desire to take. The bundle hidden from He man, proved to be two pins.
 
 wished to be left alone, so he could think. It was but a few minutes work for him to lay out and set the ten pins, which done, he called He man and asked him to call his board CTS, and bid them roll to their hearts content as there was no law against a ten pin alley.
 In 1S41 law was passed allowing the playing of bowls, skittles, or nine pins, whether more or less than ten pins were used, provided worthy per sons were licensed by proper authori- ty, but with a penalty of $50 if play ed without license. Now. inasmuch as this change was made within about forty-eight hours after the bill be- came law. is it not safe to say that Jonathan Coe laid out the first ten pin alley for his brother Heman of the Hammonsett house of Madison.

that the roads were III worse condi-

much. worse then than they promise
to be this year. Once in ten years is

Mrs. Nichols, "but those who did
not have the proper shelter lost Cat

NORTHERN PACIFIC VALUATION.
Comptroller Of Road Estimates II at
$324,676, ,496.

Chicago, March 20.-Charles II.
Gray, comptroller of the Northern Pa
cific railway, appeared before Inter.
state Commerce Commissioners Prouty
and Harlan to supplement the infor-
nation given by him regarding the
status of the railroad properties held
by the railroad company.
He declared that Aug 81, 1896,
when the railroad was sold under
foreclosure proceedings, the total
value of the property was $241 ,067,770,
of which amount $22,O05,207 was in
equipment There were then 4,499
miles of railroad, costing $53,537 per
mile. On Aug. 30, 1906, the mileage,
according to the witness, had in
creased to 6.O9S miles and the officials
had invested $1s,231,s57 for improve
ments and $2,O08,596 for equipment,
which had been paid out Of income
accounts. When asked for a valuation
of the entire property Of the railroad
Mr.. Gray said he estimated it as be-
ing worth $324,675,486 on June 8, 1906.
Inquiries regarding the earnings of
the road brought out the information
that for fifteen years prio.,':s 1895 the

Best Talent Com ing-The theat
rical plans of Liebler and Co. for next
season have now taken on definite
shape andgsssidents Of this city will
be given an opportunity to witness
some of the more important offerings
of this firm from time to time after
next Autumn, when the regular
dramatic season begins. Liebler g.
Co. seem to have found the Western
and Southern territory productive Of
excellent results, and the theatre 60
ers of these sections of the country
have proved SO appreciative of good
material in the dramatic line, that
they have made preparat tions to send
the best of their attractions this way
in the future. Liebler g. Co. have
never yet sent out a mediocre play
nor an incapable company, and this
strict rule will be adhered to as u.s.
ual, for it is the belief Of the firm that
more plays are ruined by incompet-
ant actors than by anything else.

LABOR WAR ON At SEATTLE
MASTER BUILDERS LOCK OUT
THREE THOUSAND UNION
EMPLOYEES.

Seattle, WASH, March 20.-A lock-
out against union labor went into ef-
feet here when twenty-five members
of the Master Builders association
paid OF their men. The laborers
thrown out of employment number
close to 5000 and construction work
on sixty buildings is at a standstill.
The constant annoyance of petty de-
mands by union men is given as the
cause of the lockout. The unions will
probably go half way In compromise
with the master builders, not wish
ing to see a suspension Of building
operations.
