to the capital from the doors of the lit
tie red brick station and there taken
their first steps backward into private
life.
To all the nation the 9Th street station
will always have historical interest be-
cause II was the scene of one of the
greatest of national tragedies-the shoot
ing of President James A. Garfield by
the assassin Guiteau. The bodies of both
the other martyred Presidents, Lincoln
and Mckinley, were borne through the
old depot on the way to their last resting
places.
Conditions almost insufferably congest-
ed in connection with the handling of in
augural crowds in the antiauated struct-
ure will be vastly different with the
magnificent new Union station in smooth
working order March 4, 1909 And the
new building will also suffice to safely
and speedily handle traffic no matter
how large are the crowds hurrying to or
from Washington in connection with the
great conventions of the future.
At the New Station.
Tree planting has already commenced
along the streets leading to the new
Union station. and a large gang Of men
are busy macadamzing the roads and
surfacing the parking prior to the de-
mands on the transportation systems in
cident to the assembling of Congress-

concrete roadways, it is said, and from
general appearances the public will have
to utilize the plank sidewalks laid from
the car lines to the station
Trestle work is being constructed on
the west side of the new station for the
accommodation of the "dinky" engines and
dump cars to be used in filing the space
formerly occupied by Baltimore and Ohio
trains, and it is anticipated that soon
the plaza will assume somewhat the con-
formation contemplated by the original
plans Telegraph poles were not removed
when the filling first began some years
ago. and the amount of material required
may be estimated when it is understood
that the present structure was erected
over a number of these poles.
Many favorable comments have been
made by employees of the government
printing Office, who pass the new station
in large numbers on their way to the
office, on the condition in which the con-
tractor has maintained the plank side
walks in front of the station the past
two winters. After each fall of snow
a large gang of men have turned out
with shovels and cleared all traces of
the storm.

CUNNING FOR GRAFTERS.
Detroit Mayor Wants to Know
About Paving Contracts.

DETROIT, Mich, October 30.-Mayor
William B. Thompson is preparing cam
nafen against virtually every republican
CIV office holder, in which he will charge
that the city has lost thousands of dol
lars and that there has been extensive
graft from paving contracts. The de-
partment of public works will be the chief
point of attack. The mayor alleges that
asphalt companies have been paid for as
phalt that never was delivered.
The park commission, the police depart
nent, the water board, the county poor
commissioner and other departments also
will be aired.

Union Station.
EARLIER CLOSING OF MAILS
Old Buildings In Dismantled Condi-
tion-Removal Started at Mid
night Last Night.
EARLIER CLOSING OF MAILS

With the close OF business this morning
the last locomotive whistle sounded and
bell changed in the old Pennsylvania
railroad station at 9Th and B streets
northwest. Trains on all lines which
found their Washington terminus in the
smoke -begrimed building at 9th street. be-
ginning with the first scheduled to arrive
and depart this morning. rolled into or
away from the Capital city on the newly
laid tracks at the Union station.
AS the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
made its removal some time ago, all
Washington traffic will now pass through
the new Union station, and besides en-
joying the convenience of that modern
structure. the great ma jo~ity of the travel
ing public, which is not given to the pet
extravaganza of patronizing sea-going or
open-face hacks. must suffer the annoy
ance incident to walking the several
squares which separate the Union station
from the nearest of the city street car
lines.
1t has been intimated that incoming
congressman when they find themselves
in the midst of the more or less maddinS
crowd surging across the muddy, unfin-
shed approach to the station will not be
averse to enacting the necessary legisla-
ton at the next session which will enable
the street car companies to lay their lines
to the new terminal
Railways Interested.
Besides the Pennsylvania railroad there
are concerned in the removal to the
new station the Chesapeake and Ohio,
the Southern, the Richmond, Fredercks-
burg and Potomac, the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Seaboard Air Line Prelim-
mary arrangements for the general trans
fer of rolling stock and Office fixtures
had been under way for many days, and
the old "B. and P.'' station yesterday was
in very dismantled condition. Promptly
az midnight last night the actual work of
removing the ticket offices and baggage
Departments and other essentials to the
daily transaction of railroad business was
begun. Most of the moving was done
Oh railroad baggage cars, but there was
also a large procession of drays travel
ing between 9th and b streets north
west and the plaza of the new Union
station.
In connection with the removal of the
railroad property Benjamin f. Barnes,
postmaster of Washington. yesterday is
su the following general order:
Il have been officially advised that the
Pennsylvania railroad station will be
abandoned for railroad purposes at 4:3O
am on the 18th instant, and that all
trains will be operated from the Union
station thereafter.
Mails will be closed at the main office
schedule. The fact should be borne in

the mayor is about to investigate stories
OF graft in connection with municipal

GIRLS TRAINING SCHOOL
Representative Peterson Asks
Legislature to Locate It at
New Ulni.
Bill Offered as Offset to One Giving
School to Red Wing.
General Provisions in Harmony
With Woman's Federation.
Plan.

Representative Sam Peterson is
keeping his eyes open to the interests
of New Ulm.
AS is generally known, bill is be-
fore both houses providing for a
separate training school for girls, the
site to be selected by the board of con-
troll in some city not having a state
institution at the present time.
On Wednesday Senator Putnam Of
Tered a substitute carrying out the
general provisions of the original
bill, but providing that the school be
erected at Red Wing within four miles
from the court house and not less
than three miles from the present state
Institution.
Representative Peterson saw in this
move an opportunity for New Ulm,
and without waiting for any sugges-
tions from his home constituents he
promptly followed up the Putnam bill
with one of his own.
In a general way both bills are
identical, but Peterson's calls for a
site in New Ulm instead of Red Wing.
The Brown county member doesn't
have much hope that his bill will pass,
inclining rather to the belief that the
original measure will prove to be the
popular one, but OF one thing he is
certain and that is that he will prevent
the school ever going to Red Wing.
In doing this he will have accom-
plished what is in line with the best
thought of the state.
Mr.. Peterson's bill provides for a
site of 100 acres, situated within four
miles of New Ulm, and carries with it
an appropriation of 100000 to cover
cost of site and necessary buildings.

COMMISSIONER o'BRIEN TO QUIT
At the Close of the Legislative SEES.
sion lie Will Resign From the
Insurance Department.

1t is generally understood that Tho
mas d. O'Brien, state insurance COM
missioner, will resign at the close of
the present legislative session. Mr..
O'Brien wanted to give up the posi-
ton at the close of last year, but Gov.
johnson prevailed upon him to re-
main. The duties of the Office are very
arduous, and Mr.. O'Brien has given
them his personal attention to the ex-
clusion of all his personal affairs, a
losing proposition since the office was
put on salary basis at Mr.. O'Brien' 9
urgent request.
Mr.. O'Brien's administrator of the
office has been one of the strong fea-
lures of Gov. Johnson's administra-
lion, and he has been urged by insur-
ance commissioners all over the coun-
try to remain at the head of the de-
partment.
He has also been asked to accept the
secretaryship of the Insurance Presi-
dents Association of which Grover
Cleveland is the head, but, notwith-
standing the tempting salary connec-
ted Herewith, he does not feel, in view
of the measures now pending before
the legislature, many of which embod-
his own suggestions, that he could
eonscientiously accept.

Somebody Got Fooled.

An item in the Minneapolis Journal
last evening reads as follows:
Business men of New Ulm inter-.
ested in rate reform are to hold mass
meeting tonight to declare their conf
dence in the Shippers association,
which is about to be investigated" by
the S. D. Peterson committee. MIR.
Peterson lives at New Ulm.
Must be mistake somewhere. A
meeting was held last night to orga-
nize Commercial club, but the Peter
son investigation was never alluded
te. To be sure, somebody had Mr..
Lotus come down from ST. Paul, but
he wasn't asked to speak and didn't
speak. The Simultaneous appearance
of the above item in the Journal and
Mr.. Lotus appearance in New Ulm
nevertheless looks suspicious.
