the Congestion.

Well, Doc how many boarders
have you today asked the reporter
this morning at the chief OF police
headquarters at the city hall. The
chief, who was reclining In his easy
chair and looked as though he had
been losing some needed sleep re-
piled, well there are their hats
over there on the table" The re-
porter looked as directed and saw
a table in one corner OF the ONCE
which was piled deep with lids.
This serves as daybook or men,
orandum TO keep tally OF those who
are restrained by the iron bars, and
while this system of bookkeeping is
not taught in Prof. Staley's business
college It is very convenient
auxiliary to the chiefs ledger.
Most every style OF gentlemen's
headgear is now on exhibition but
the peek-a-boo and the crushed hats
seem TO be the latest and most popu.
lar.
If business keeps up the police
VIII soon be able to stock a first
class variety store as not only are
their guests requested to deposit
their hats on passing the bars but
also must leave all their personal
ereets which range from needles
and pins to padlocks and diamonds.

IMMUNITY BATH FOR ALTON.
Judge Landis Directs Grand Jury to
 Drop Investigation.

Juo9e IanoiS DlrectS Grand Jury 70
 Drop Investigation.
 . Chicago, Sept. 25.-It was decided by Judge Landis in the United States dis trict court that the Chicago and Alton railway shall not be further prosecuted for its connection with the Standard Oil Company Of Indiana and the grant ing of rebates between Whiting, Ind, and East St. Louis, Ill.
 It was claimed by Attorney General Bonaparte, whose letter was read to the court by District Attorney Sims. that Mir. Morrison, the predecessor of MT. Sims in office, had promised i'm munity to the Alton road provided it assisted in good faith in the prosecu. tion of the Standard oil company. The attorney general therefore claimed that it was the duty of the government to see that no further steps toward the punishment of the railroad for its part in the granting of the rebates be talk. en. The attorney general asked that the grand jury which had been sum- moned at the instance of Judge Lan- dis to investigate the Alton railroad be discharged and that the matter be al- lowed to drop. Judge Landis declined to discharge the jury, but instructed its members that they had no further duty to perform in connection with the Chicago and Alton road.

PASSION PLAY TO EMPTY HOUSE.
Bavarian Players. Innocent of Man.
 agement, Surprised.

The little band of German players who put on the Passion Play" last night at Terrace garden learned more in an hour about American theatrical methods than they ever dreamed of before, says the New York Sun. They came here six days ago, twenty of them, serenely confident that a few weeks in America would make their lifetime fortunes. Americans had fiocked to Oberammergau and had spent many thousands of dollars to see the Passion Play" Why should not other thousands be garnered in by those enterprising persons who took the Passion Play" to the Amer jeans?
 So they came. No impresario heralded them, they had no business manager, they didn't know what a press agent might be-not one of them could speak English. They drifted around town and finally hir- ed hall. That was the first intima- tion that the Terrace garden people or any one else had that they were in New York. Then they went on seeing more sights.
 When they finally gathered for the performance last night they looked out over the big hall and pictured the long rows of seats all occupied by Americans representing big round dollar.
 When, after a long, sad wait, the curtain finally rose on the scene of the Last Supper, there were just thir- ty-seven persons in the house, and that included the door-keeper, the watchman and various cooks and walters from the restaurant next door, whose rush hour was past and whose badges were good at the door.
 There were twelve scenes and twelve long waits, during which the on the stage was almost drowned by the strains of Waiting at the Church" from the table d'hote orchestra in the next building.
 The pity of it was that the per- with proper management would no doubt have attracted an interested and intelligent audience. The con- pany consists of Bavarians, most of them natives of 0berammergau. and four of them it is said were members of the cast of the last performance given there. They were Herr c. and s. Fassnaeht, Herr Trautmann and Fraulein Trautmann.
 Although as given last night the play lacked the scenic accessories of the original, yet the simple direct method was the same and the whole thing was marked with sincerity and

Wanted In Oil Trust Hearing In Con.
 nection With Missing Books.
 New York, Sept. Following a sharp dispute between Frank B. Kel- logg, thg governments counsel in it's suit to dissolve the Standard Oil con- pany, and John c. Milburn, counsel for the Standard company, it became ap- parent that MT. Milburn is trying to force MT. Kellogg to subpoena Henry NJ. Flagler as a witness. The lever that is apparently being used to force such move is the two missing stock transfer books, which are badly want ed by MT. Kellogg and which the Standard officials say have disappear ed from the vault in Room 14O1 of the Standard Oil building, where they were put when the old board of liquidation trustees went out of office.
 Henry M. Flagler was secretary of this board of liquidation trustees, which negotiated the transfer of stock by which the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey took over nineteen oil con- panies, composing the old StandS'd Oil trust. Should he be subpoenaed as witness in the present hearing it might assure him of immunity in the suit the government has brought against him individually in conjunction with its suit against the Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey and its subsidiary concerns,

PADDED LISTS
Some One Not Familiar With
 Registration Seeing Things"

Somebody must have got the re-
 porter who wrote the padded list article in this mornings paper on a
 string. If not what in thunder was
 he talking about anyway. Everybody
 who knows anything at all about
 such work knows that it is nothing
 at all wonderful to find several hun-
 dred doubles returned by the can-
 vassers for both sides, but these are
 eliminated before the lists are print ed and submitted to the board of re- gistration. The scribe must have got
 hold of corrected list else he would have discovered more doubles
 It is not at all likely that the num-
 Der returned was so small as that. It IS not long since man lost ''the cigars on wager with R. B. Smith that the doubles" would not exceed
 oOO. In any case, the thing does not amount to anything. No matter how often a mans name might appear on the "to be made" list he cannot get there more than once. We hear a good deal about men voting twice, but 1t is something entirely new to charge that an effort is being made to get applicants made more than once. Both registrars examine the lists If there is the slightest doubt about a man being eligible he is left on. It would require collision on the part of Registrars Chapman and OConnor to get man made who was not there, and even then each would stand good show of being caught and sent to jail. These men are not trying to do things that way. If one canvasser gave mans address as that of his place of business and an- other reoprted him at his residence, which is quite common, for all men do not reside where they do business, the registrars and their force of de- put1es will straighten out these kinks. That is what they are paid for. In like manner if mans name is re- turned and 1t does not appear in the directory it will be looked into. Of course these wild assertions are con- mon around election time and few take any stock in them, but even so this was out of the ordinary and it may not be amiss to show that who- ever handled it was off his trolley. The lists are being handled by two honest, competent men and anybody who goes through will have to prove that he is there no matter where he decides to be on election day. That press committee of the o D will have to do better else they will lose their jobs.

PeII Breach of Promise Case Settled

PeIl Breach of Promise Case Settled.
 New York, Sept. 25.-Theodore Roose. welt Pell settled the $25,0OO breach of promise suit brought against him by Alma Robert, the opera singer, last winter. He settled it with a paltry $2,00O bill. This became known after the Four Hundred of New York and Philadelphia had been wondering for months why the suit against the presi. dents cousin had been so suddenly silenced. The settlement became pub. lie because Miss Roberts lawyer, Ju. Illus Michael of 35 Nassau street, wants half of the $2,000, and, unable to get it from his client, has brought suit against her and MT. Pell.
