Came as a Surprise

The news of the filing of the suit
was a decided surprise to President
Walker and his legal adviser, Col.
Dodson President Walker stated
that it had been his intention to file
a certified check for $4,000 as origi-
nally contemplated, but that the new
step on the part of the city rendered
that unnecessary and inadvisable. He
would take no further steps in that
direction, he stated, but would con-
tinue on with the work in hand as
rapidly as possible. President Wal
ker stated that the check referred to
would have been filed merely to sat
isfy the public as he did not regard
it as affecting their legal status in
the slightest degree.
The suit, if | understand it cor
rectly, said President Walker,
does not come on for trial
before the end of next May. By that
time the street railway will be built
and in operation, every other fea-
ture of the contract wiH have been
complied with, and the city will have
no reason to proceed in the case at
all. 1t has never been our inten-
ton to renig in the slightest in the
carrying out of the contract. The
obstacles have now been largely
overcome and we expect work to
proceed smoothly, subject only to
such incidental delays as we are
just now encountering in the arri-
val of supplies. Down at the power
house, which has been completed, the
roof being on, the boilers are about
entirely in position and the small
pumps are now being put up. Other
machinery is likely to arrive any
day

Getting Ready to Order Cars

I'm the erection of the railway it
would be folly to tear up the streets
and lay the cross ties until assured
of the prompt arrival of the rails and
of the completion of the powerhouse
in time. We are now receiving bids
on the rails. Our Mr.. Kelsey has
visited two of the largest manufactur-
ers of street cars, inspecting the diff
ferent styles, and on his report the
cars for the system will be ordered
1t is a question not so much as to
the size of the cars, which will be
of moderate length, as the character
of them. The PAY as you enter"
cars have been strongly recommend
ed to us. They are being adopted in
large cities, but it is an open ques-
tion whether the extra cost of them
would be justifiiable in a small city.
That is one thing we are considering,
and also the number that we would
purchase We wish to give a good
service, frequent enough to satisfy
all reasonable public requirements,
and it is our purpose to secure a
sufficient number of cars to that end.
These matters, entailing the expendt-
ture of many thousands of dollars,
are not to be lightly dismissed. Ev-
cry feature of them must be consid-
cred, and it is to them that / and
others are now giving our time.
We are also preparing for the in
stallation of our book keeping sys-
tenn Here are the blanks we have
secured from experts in that line
which we are now studying with a
view to such alterations as may sug-
gest themselves to u.s." and Presi-
dent Walker indicated large guam
tity of railway accounting blanks on
his desk which was likewise piled up
with catalogues from street car and
rail manufacturers.

OhiO's Democratic Governor

Taft carried his home state by
$4,000. At the same time the Demo-
Gratis elected Judge Harmon to be
chief executive of the state by 10000
plurality.
The Democrats conceded the cleo
tion of Republican legislature, by
which United States Senator will
be elected to the place now filled
by Senator Foraker, who is a candi-
date for reelection.
The Republicans elected a CON
gresham in Arkansas and have in
creased their representation from de-
mocratic Oklahoma by two. Taft's
plurality in New York state has gone
well over the 100000 mark, while
Hughes for governor has shrunk to
$4,000 or less
It may be the electoral vote of
Maryland will be divided and in the
opinion of close observers Bryan
will get a majority.
Taft now has 327 votes in the cleo
toral college, if he holds Missouri,
Maryland and West Virginia and
Bryan 1856

IN POLITICAL SCALES
Maryland and Missouri
Center of Interest

NEW YORK, Nov 5-(SpeciaD-
Maryland and Missouri held the CEN
ter of political attention today. Leav-
ing Maryland and Missouri out OF
the count Taft is assured 301 cleo
toral votes and Bryan 1856. Missouri
with a big block of IS votes is hang
ing in the balance. Taft early this
morning having lead of 67 votes
Complete returns might swing the
result. The general belief is that
an official canvass will have to settle
the Missouri votes.
Maryland is claimed for Taft by a
bare margin. The Democrats refuse
to yield pending the official count.
Close in Missouri
In the case of Missouri, late It'd
ings give Taft apparently the narrow
margin of 81 votes and seem to make
practically certain the election of a
Republican governor for the first
time in thirty-five years. The plu-
rality of Hadley, the Republican can
didate appeared as 15,14S Colorado
has apparently settled the question
in favor of Bryan, and the state leg
islature will be safely Democratic.
West Virginia is evidently assured
to Taft. First dispatches today in
dictate a plurality of 10000 or better,
but Glasscock, Republican for COVER
nor will have apparently less than
half of that.
The Republican majority in the
National House of Representatives
has been cut, but that party still
will have a substantial control.

In 1910 we find the following Bow
bakeresses accused of selling halfpen-
ny lOaves deficient in weight: Sara
Foting, Christina Terrice. GOdlyeva
Foting, Matilda de Bolingtone. Chris
tina Prichet. Isabella Sporting. Alice
Pegges, Johanna de Countebrigge and
Isabella Pouveste. One wonders why
the husbands were not summoned. In
q similar case in 1916, when Agnes
Fotlng's bread was seized, 1t was lad
judged that her bread should be for
feited and given to the prisoners in
Neugate because her husband did not
come to avow (own) the bread" Are
we to assume that in the absence Of
the husbands the bread was merely
forfeited without the infection Of a
fine? An indication of the Importance
Of the breadmaking business is also
found in an enactment of the reign Of
Henry Ill. to the effect that every
cart Of Bremble Brombley- Bow or

the city with bread shall pay each

A skater'a Darina.

Few feats Of skating have ever ex-
celled the exploit Of one Of Napoleon's
officers performed shortly after the
fight at Jena in 1906. The emperor dis
patched an officer to Marshal Mortier
requiring him to seize certain impOr-
tant towns without delay. When the
officer arrived at the mouth of the
Elbe, where the river is seven and one
half miles wide. he was threatened
with serious loss Of time The river
was just covered with ice; therefore to
row over was out of the question. He
could not cross by the nearest bridge
without going twenty miles out Of his
way on roads heavy with snow. and
he grudgcd the time that would thus
be wasted So he resolved to skate
across the thin, freshly formed ice.
Had he tried walking he would have
sunk at once. but by skimming along
on his skates at the top of his speed he
got over the river both dry and un-
harmed. BY this daring If dangerous
deed he saved six hours. did what Ma
poleon babe him do and won great
credit for his bold and clever exploit
