GUARDING OUR MONEY
How the Treasury Vaults at
 Washington Are Protected.
WATCHERS DAY AND NIGHT.

Always on Duty and Always Prepared
 to Shoot to kiII-Nsver Has q Dol
 lar Been Taken From Them by
 Foree-one Daring Scheme.
 Not a dollar has ever been taken from the United States treasury by force.
 Perhaps the nearest approach to loot ing the vaults of the treasury was the time Martin Broadfoot had his plans about perfected. This was back in the eighties, and the plan was to get into the building by means of the great sewer which runs under and near the treasury and is known as the Fifteenth street sewer and which grows larger as 1t enters the Potomac about three quarters of a mile from the White House.
 Broadfoots plan, as developed after his arrest, was to get into the building crack the safes and place the money in large rubber bags and float them down the sewer to the Potomac, where his pals would be fin waiting. These bags were found in his room when he was arrested, and secret service men had often seen him walking along the shores of the Potomac near where the big sewer empties. This sewer is about nine feet Sn diameter where it passes the treasury. A man could easily make his way up the sewer through q stream of water which un- der normal conditions Is only about twelve Inches deep. By entering the tunnel or sewer at the river the jour. ney to the treasury could be made by keeping a sharp lookout. When the man or men in the sewer reached the Fifteenth street sewer nothing would separate them from the gold coin and bullion except about eighteen feet of earth and not too secure stone wall. It was Broadfoot's scheme to dig his way through this obstruction and to let the earth float or wash down the sewer. It would not have taken one man more than two weeks working only at night. to have made an opening large enough for a man to crawl through. Of course Broadfoot knew the exact location of the vaults. and when be once reached them he would have had no trouble in getting the gold coin and brliion- Ii was eyide1tly his purpose to fill the rubber bags with the precious stuf and float them down the sewer to the river. where they would be looked after by bis confcd- crates. This was the only really well laid plot ever made to loot the treas urT. and just vhy BroadfoOt vas never given a trial has never been known tO the publse. He was an Intel Iigsut man. and suspicion was first aroused against him by his frequent visits to the moasy rooms snd vaults and bT the questions he ssked vstch-

A WRECK ON THE ROAD

 His eyes began to sparkle. and bit of color flashed into his pale cheeks. "I suppose you fellows think opened her up and went into those boxes just for fun" A smile fitted over his lips, and then he grew serious Say, did It ever come to your mind that an en- gineer might be as anxious about his own life as he Is about the lives of those who are riding behind him?

japan Sweeping Westward ON the

Seas.
Japan Is, on the seas, sweeping
westward. for suez is the entrance
TO the West. When in the Japanese
budget we read OF the annual APP
preparation for promoting shipping
and aiding lines OF the merchant
marine we may look with more than
casual curiosity TO the clauses that
relate to the European service and
TO the plans of the steamship sub
sidies. while we may also ponder on
the reported offer Of the japanese
shlpyards TO rebuild SPANS navy,
The aids and Subsidies passed by the
japanese Diet in 1907 for steamship
lines and ship construction were on
ly a little below $5,000,000. and in
the budget for 1908 there is ST.
3OO.O 900 for sabsidizing the Euro
pean or suez service The Japan
Oriental Steamship company decided
10 dispatch occasional cargo boats
TO Europe in addition to the regular
fortnightly service, and the auXil-
larry service was opened in 1907
with the Colombo Maru, of 400
gross tonnage, and with other ships
OF a tonnage ranging from 45O0 to
5000, In the New World West our
interest is enhanced by the rumor
that new line of steamships of
6OOO tons and upward will be estab-
lished between Kobe and New York
via Suez.
In 1897 the mercantile marine of
Japan consisted of 1446 steamships,
of a gross tonnage of 1,OS5,0O0 and
registered tonnage of 6S9,000,
and OF 4O44 sailing ships of foreign
model whose gross tonnage was
$4,000. We may leave out the sail
ing ships from our present survey
because they do not traverse the
canal, The story that now claims is

the material development of the
state.
The work In most of the schools
was of n most practical nature, es-
peclally was this true in cooking
sewing. shop work, In both wood
and tron, butter and cheese making,
the study OF farm machinery and OF
soils. the judging of stock the rails
ing of cereals, engineering, and ell
ementary agriculture. In some In
stances, special attention was at
tached TO extension work in element
airy work and home economies; we
made special inquiry as 70 the sue
cess OF these undertakings ana we
found wherever the movement was
intalligently and energetIoally ad-
ministered, that Invariably most ex-
cellent results were attained and all
had great faith in their ultimate
success.
The institutional aim in home
economies was, as rule, that the
girl should on graduation be able
Co fashion and make her own clothes
even to n party dress; be able to pre-
pare a good meal and serve II prop
erly; plan a home so that all furn-
ishings would harmonic and be
comparatively inexpensive - this
was not only the aim but where the
most efficient results We're attained
the aim was fully realized. They
were doing things not reading about
them comparative little theory but
much practice, In some schools
much emphasis was placed on what

conversant with the use and location
OF each part of any machine which
they are likely to use on a farm,
and is made of the short courses
taught both within the schools and
in different parts of the states. In
many of the shops the students man
ufacture practically all the machin-
cry required for the operation OF
the plant; and as a rule all boys,
we're required to take at least one
year in the blacksmith shop and one
year in the carpenter shop, not nee
essarily that they might learn the
blacksmith or carpenter trade, but
rather that they would become so
proficient in the use OF tools as to
be able on graduation to go back to
the farm and do much of the repair
ing OF farm machinery, the idea be-
ing to educate toward the farm, not
away from it.
One thing that was strongly in
evidence waI the cheerful and re-
spectful attitnde of those who were
taking the industrial courses as well
as those who wera not, towards all
hand work. Verify the world does
move, and public opinion does
change. There was a general com
pIaint of the scarcity of instructors
for carrying on this work and
hence the next step must be the
making OF such provisions for the
training of teachers as shall insure
the best results. The Fifty-ninth
congress made start in this direc-
ton by passing the Nelson amend
ment whereby provision Is made for
maintaining In agricultural colleges
a department of Industrial peda-
gogy for the purpose OF training
teachers OF industrial work and the
present congress has under consid-
Grafton two bills for attaining the
same ends by means OF normal
schools. Taking into Consideration,
however, the haRdicaps placed on
our state university and agricultural
college by an insufnciency of build
lngs and equipment, I am OF the
opinion that the results secured by
our institutions compare very fav-
orably with those of other states.
| may say in this connection that
great interest Is being taken outside
our state by school people and
others as to the possible outcome OF
the vote on the university appropria'
tion bill. Having so much faith In
the good judgment of our people !
had no hesitancy in saying that In
my opinion there was no donbt that
our people would sustain the legis'
lature and, further, that II was the
duty OF all who have the best In
terests OF the state at heart to work
and vote for the appropriation.

dates Statement as Unfair.
Spellbinders' Busy Night.

~ E - r-
A series of i've political meetings was
held last night by Republican candi-
dates on the city and county tickets,
the speakers dividing themselves into
two parties and dashing from one
meeting to another alternately. Fair
sized audiences greeted them at each
meeting.
In the party were Congressman r.
Wayne Parker, Senator Everett Colby
and Assemblyman Austen Colgate,
each a candidate for reelection; Will
lam Fellowes Morgan, candidate for
sheriff, and Frank j. Book, candidate
for Mayor. Candidates for aldermen
from the various wards also were at
the meetings.
The largest and most enthusiastic
meeting of the series was held at the
Lincoln Club in North Seventh street,
which was gaily decked out in flags
to receive the speakers. Scott German,
vice-president of the club, who pre-
sided in the absence of President WILL
lam P. Martin, roundly scored former
Judge Henry, candidate for Mayor of
the Real Democracy, for his state
ment TO the erect tnat III he retred ne
would do so in favor of Haussling.
This statement was eminently unfair.
Mr.. German thought, after the judge
had gone after Haussling hammer and
tongs.
The Democrats were also censured
by Mr.. Book for claiming credit for
the lower tax rate, which is eleven
points beneath what 1t was two years
ago. Mr.. Book declared that the
money paid by the State to the city
had, in a great measure, been respon-
sible for the decreased rate. The prob
blems of street cleaning and the neces-
sity of more Fairgrounds were also
discussed. The principal theme of Mr..
Books address, however, was a %reiter-
tic of his statement that he would
be Mayor of the whole city, If elected,
and not a mere partisan. The pur-
chase of meadow land by the city was
also advocated.
Other meetings were held at the
Colored Mems Club, 181 Eighth avenue;
the italian Republican Club at lS2

Sunday school workers. His topics
were Preparing for Decision Day."

He said the idea of the day was that

pupils nay decide whether they shall
be formally enrolled as Christians. not

to their boys and girls being made
protested members of churches until
they were old enough to decide for
themselves
DR.. Henderson advised the workers
how to prepare boys and girls of the
Sunday school for decision day, told at
length what the object of the owe
ment is, and then what the pupils
should do after they become protested
Christians on that day. He said It was
a very important movement for the
churches. Tor the right training of its
young in religion and morality was d
great duty imposed by the Master upoa
all Christian men and women.
A committee that had been appointed
before to push the new idea In all
churches was continued to carry on
the work. The committee is composed

man; the Rev. DIR. ]. #. Morgan, of
