Removal of Wires to Conduits
And Poles in Alleys Will
Come Soon.
TO IMPROVE THE STREET.
FROM A LANE THROUGH A PINE
FOREST MAIN STREET WILL BE
CONVERTED INTO A CITY THOR.
OUGHFARE.

By Monday the city will have prac-
tically completed removing all its
wires from Main street. About all
the wires the city now has on Main
street are the fire alarm wires. Dur
ing the past week Chief Miller of the
fire department has been busily en-
gagged in removing these wires and he
states that his task will be completed
tomorrow.
He stated last night that the past
three days many of these wires had
been placed in the ducts of the Home
Telephone company conduit and that
street east had now been removed.
"Also inform the public that by rea-
son of removing Main street fire alarm
wires north of Main street all alarm
boxes on Main street have been re-
moved to the north side of the street."
Not all the Main street fire alarm
wires will be placed underground.
streets adjoining Main street.
This week the city will begin work
changing the street lights to poles
which are off the property lines. This
is to be done so that the street lamp
poles which are located on Main
street corners may be removed. The
splendid arc light system established
recently by the West Main street
business mems association will be a
thing of the past after this week.
Many of the extra lamps which have
been placed by the association are on
the poles of the Bell Telephone COM
pany and other companies. 1t Is
necessary to remove these poles in
| compliance with the Main street pole
ordinance. 1t was stated last evening
that the association is now planning
to erect incandescent light arches
across Main street. The city has no
objections to this plan and it is quite
probable it will be carried into effect
The street car company will soon be
ready to remove it's wood poles as
the iron poles are now in position
This week the work of attaching the
trolley wires to the iron poles will
be completed. By the first of next
month it is expected that nearly every
| wood pole on Main street will be
| down.

The second big crowd of the chau-
tauqua season is expected to attend
today. The attractions offered are
equal to any on the program and are
expected to prove successful

Folk has found it impossible to speak
in the afternoon is not expected to
cause a decrease in the crowd any.
He will begin his address at o'clock
in the evening, so that many visitors
from the rural districts will remain to
hear him. Governor Folk is known
throughout the country for the re-

cLARk's UNIQUE SUBJECT.
l"The BIunderbuss in Sunday School,
Was Strong Lecture.

The unique subject chosen by Dr.
Joseph Clark in his address before
the Sunday Schools yesterday after
noon was The Blunderbuss in the
Sunday School," He told how when
a boy he went into the barn lofe and
found an old gun with big mouth
His grandfather told him that it was
a blunderbuss and that all he had to
do was to load it and then point it in
some direction and pull the trigger
He would be sure to hit something
He believed that all he would have to
do here was to say something, make
lots of noise. and he would be sure to
hit somebody.
The theme of DR.. Clark's address
was summed up in one statement: Re-
iigion is business and business is re.
ligion. He said that he knew from
experience that the two may go hand
in hand He lauded Roosevelt and
Bryan as two busy men who had time
, to preach occasionally. That they
are great preachers is shown by the
converts they make each time they
occupy the pulpit. Bryan at one time
fhad forty people at the altar.
DIR. Clark closed by stating that
there are many calls. the Call of the
Wild" the Call of the Blood" and
numerous others. The call he wished
to make was the "call of the heart" !"
The influence of love-Christ love,
mother love and love in general. was
| %o h;S mind tho motive forea of tbe
world.
Following DIR. Clark the whitneys
gave a children's program. The
youngsters had returned from the ath-
letic games and were on the front
Iseats The quartet sang children's
ballads, repeated "The Little Red
Drum" and gave other selections from
Eugene Field. Mrs. Whitney gave
some excellent childrens imperson-
Iations. The feature was pleasingly

Commanders Key and Sims
Have Been Outspoken and
Changes in Naval Construc-
ton May Result.
CHANGES WOULD HELP
VESSELS WAR ABILITY.
Nearly All Experts of Navy
Are at Conferences and in
Official Circles Alarm Is
Felt.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Officials OF
the navy department here are in re-
ceipt of information from Newport,
R. l., where the naval college has been
in session to the effect Commander
Key is winning out in his fight
against the bureau of construction of
the navy and securing a number of
important concessions to plans for
construction of the new battleships of
the Delaware class, now in the ship
yards.
Commanders Key and Sims have
been two of the most outspoken crit
les of plans for the new warships eth
er within or outside of the navy.
Their positions as aides to the presi-
dent have been of great value in en-
abling them to present their views
with the most force in the quarter
where their criticisms could be most
effective. 1t is known here they have
won over the president to their way
of thinking and that the visit of the
president to Newport and his confer
ence with the naval war college was
to point out the necessity of giving
careful consideration to Key-Sims crit
icisms and suggested improvements.
Changes are Suggested.
In official circles here it is said
Key and Sims have won out in their
contention as to placing of armor belt
and ammunition hoists. They are
contending also, for freer decks and
larger guns on new ships of the Della
ware class. They argue that decks of
the newer vessels should be free of
most superstructure as supports,
hoists, etc, which they hold are i'm
pedimentia and serve to obstruct the
best working of the ships and to lower
her free board. With these removed
and heavier guns installed Key and
Sims believe the fighting efficiency
of the new boats will be greatly in,
creased.
Nearly all experts of the navy are
now at Newport taking part in con,
ferences, details of which are un.
known here. Reports have been to
the effect that conferences have been
marked by much difference of opinion
especially between representatives OF
the board of construction, who are de-
Tending the plans of new ships and
critics of the Key-Sims school. who
are pointing out the alleged defects
The concessions made are held to
prove that the differences between
the two schools of construction are
not irreconcilable and that an agree
ment will be reached without friction
Critics Have Won Out.
In unofficial circles here it is the
general opinion that critics of the
present board of construction have
won and that all new vessels of the
navy will be more effective fightine
machines than was possible under
plans of the board. AS consequence
it is expected there will be a shake-ur
in the personnel of many of the mos
important boards of navy establish
ment and that new blood will be infus
ed generally. This will sound the
death knell of the present regime. in
| which the spirit of bureaucracy has
grown to an alarming extent

Rendezvous at Brooklyn Held
Loot Worth $4,000 and
All Kinds of VaIuabIes Which
Had Been Stolen.
EXPLOSIVES WERE FOUND
IN LARGE QUANTITIES.
Woman Arrested as Accom-
pIice and Police Assert Cap
ture of Her and Three Men
Is of Importance.

New York, Aug. 22.-Loot valued at
more than $4,000, the proceeds of
many robberies, pawn tickets repre-
senting valuab'es worth far more than
this, the most complete counterfeiting
outfit ever captured by the New York
officers, and a set of burglars tools of
more than two hundred separate
pieces. are but part of the contents
taken from a robbers rendezvous near
the foot of Fourth street. Brooklyn, af-
ter Central Office detectives arrested
three men on charge of burglary and
one woman on a technical charge of
being a suspicious person. The four
prisoners were arraigned in the
Tombs police court today.
The three men were captured after
they had everything ready to dyna.
mite safe in Newark. They had been
followed by the police for several
weeks, but the detectives waited un-
til the could capture the men in the
act of blowing open a safe before ar.
resting them.
Commissioner Flynn, of the secret
service is confident that the band is
responsible for the floating of thous
ands of 81, So, So, SO and 500 bills
which have been scattered throughout
the country. The bills while made on
poor paper were exact counterparts OF
the real bills, as the counterfeiters
used sensitized papers and printed di
rect from negatives made from good
bills. One of the men prisoners who
was arraigned in New York is Humpty
Williams, who has spent seventeen
years in Jail, and who is known to
the police as being one of the most ex.
pert safe crackers in the world as
| well as one of the shrewdest of his
kind living.
Woman Makes Denial.
Mrs. Lizzie Jacobson, who was ar
rested in the treasure house of the
band in Brooklyn, denied all knowl
edge of the bands work, but the po
lice headquarters recognized her as
having served one term in Jail and hat
her picture placed in the rogues' gal.

printed on one side which was of the
| latest 1908 series, was found in the
| woman's pocket.
Besides the loot enough dynamite
and other explosives to wrt elk a doz
en- buildings was found in the rob-
bers headquarters. Several other ar
rests are expected. Inspector McCaf
ferty and Commissioner Bingham de
clare that the rounding up of the thre.
men and the woman are the most i'm
portant arrests which have been made
in several years.
Not only had the men made counter
felt bills but the molds for fifty anc
twenty five cent pieces were alse

He Is Given No Cause for 0p-
timism at Conference and
Southern States Are Con-
ceded Lost.
CANDIDATE is SURPRISED
BY ALARMING PROSPECTS
Southern Trip Abandoned as
Nothing Could Be Gained
Money Is Coming But Slow
Iy to Pay Costs.

Chicago, Aug. 22--William j. Bry-
an had his confidence broken today
as candidate for the presidency. He
was told in plain English by his cam
paign managers that his chances in a
big majority of the states he hoped to
carry are bad or even hopeless.
New York, Indiana, Illinois, New
Jersey, Maryland, Georgia and Tenn
essee were states in which the three
times candidate was informed he had
the bare st fighting chance.
There were just two rays of hope
in the gloom with which candidate
was enshrouded by the reports of his
managers. Kansas and even Iowa he
was told, might go for him in the fall
election. Information was given the
candidate on the desperate situation
in the south and that caused him to
change all his plans regarding the
campaign. 1t had been his intention
to take a leisurely swing through the
middle states; another one down
south and a third through the east
spec ches in each of the bigger cities
But in a long conference with his ad-
visers today these plans We're chang.
ed. The southern trip was abandoned
entirely, because he was told that the
two doubtful states there are virtually
hopeless and that his presence would
not do any good.
The arrangements for the middle
west states is to stand but with re
gard to the east ii has been tentative
ly arranged that he shall repeat the
campaigns he made in 1896 and 1900
through middle west. There is pos
sibility that arrangements for the triI
may be completed while the candidate
is here. as he remains here until Mon
day.
Money Short Too.

campaign is coming in slowly-very

the total will hardly be sufficient tc
