BICYCLE RIDERS
HERE ON LONG TRIP
Two Cedar Rapids Boys on Road Since
July 14-Travel 1000 Miles
on Their Wheels.

Charles l.. Rose and Edward S.
Frantz, two Cedar Rapids boys who
have been making quite name for
themselves by travelling around the
country on bicycles, arrived in this city
Saturday afternoon on their way home
from Chicago. The young men have
been pedaling their bicycles since July
"A and i'll that time they have covered
a distance of about 1,000 miles. They
went from Cedar Rapids TO ,Norwalk,
Ind, by roundabout course and then
shipped their wheels to Chicago and
took TO the road again on their wheels
and headed for home.
The boys are taking the trip merely
for the fun of it, and they state that
they have enjoyed it immensely. 1t
seems to agree with them, also, as
both of them have gained considerable
weight since starting out. They have
travelled at the rate of about 40 or so
miles a day One of the wheels used

FIRE AT C0NsTANTINOPLE
Flames Destroy 1000 Buildings in
Ancient Stambou Quarter.

Constantinople. Aug 24.-The fire
which broke out in the StambUui quar~-

guished at midnight. 1t is estimated
1000 buildings were destroyed.
Constantinople, Aug. 24.-Fire- start
ed yesterday afternoon in the Stam-
boul quarter and within brief period
a terrible conflagration was raging. A
strong wind carried the flames at great
speed and for six hours they swept
over the section, destroying 1900
houses and shops.
Stamboul is the Mohammedan part
of the city. Within its walls are the
selaglio the principal mosques, the
mausoleums of the sultans, the baths,
the bazars, the public Offices of gov
ernment and the remains of ancient
Constantinople. 1t is divided for ad
ministrative purposes into three muni
cipal circles and into a large number
of quarters. Separate quarters are al
lotted to the Armenians, the Greeks
and the Jews.
Stamboul covers the whole area in

GALESBURG WANTS
TO BE ON OTHER END
Claims Rock Island Southern Could
Be Built More CheapIy to That
Point Than to Monmouth.

Galesburg Republican Register
Galesburg may have chance to get
the direct line of the interurban pro-
posed from Rock Island this way if
the citizens will show the proper en-
terprise is the opinion of a citizen
from near Aledo who was here this
morning. The Rock Island and South
ern as is known has secured control
of a road from Rock Island to Pre-
emption. point eight miles north of
Viola. The purpose is now to build
into Aledo and from there either to
Monmouth or to Galesburg. 1t is well
known that for several days the of
ficers of the company have been in
consultation and have been holding
conferences in Chicago. A Monmouth
paper contained notice the other
day of the purchase of large number
of ties for construction purposes by
the company. The question seems to
be which way the line will take.
Aledo wants the line the worst sort
and has agreed the visitor said to take
100000 in stock to build the line tc
Viola. This means good start.
1t was the opinion of the visitor tha
the line here would be less expensiv,
to build this way than to Monmout,
because the latter had the more ez
pensive bridges. The route to Gales
burg is six miles longer but the Wis
itor said that is was SO much bette
for grades that he believed it woul
not cost SO much even then as tn
Monmouth line.

George W. Fitzgerald Accused
of Stealing $4,000 in
Cold Cash.
MISSED i8 MONTHS Ago
Detectives Say He Has Been
Handling Large Sums OF
Money of Late.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-George w. Fitz-
gerald, who was arrested yesterday on
the charge of stealing S173,000 from
the government subtreasury in Feb
ruary, 1907, was admitted to bail to
day. The defendants counsel wanted
an immediate hearing but the court
postponed the examination till Aug.
81 TO allow the states attorney to col
iect further evidence. A representa-
tive of the government was present
i'll court today but made no move in
the proceedings.
Arrested at His Home.
Chicago, Aug. 24-George w. Fitz-
gerald, asserting teller of the sub
treasury at the time of the $4,000
theft of Uncle Sans money IS months
ago, was arrested early yesterday
morning charged with the crime.
He was taken into custody at his
home, 493 Chase avenue, Rogers park,
by operatives of Young's Secret Serv-
ice company. The government secret
service men knew nothing of the ar
rest until hours afterward Captain
Thomas l. Porter and Chief Wilkie
were both surprised when notified and
evidently had no inkling of the case
which had been worked up against the
former sub-treasury employe.
Says Case Is Strong One.
The men interested in the arrest of
Fitzgerald say that they have a strong
case against him. States Attorney
ffealy and his first assistant, James j.
Barbour, have known of the suspicious
against the prisoner for the last month,
and Detective Joseph Kinder, one of
the veteran detectives of the states at
torney's office, was detailed weeks ago
to work on the case in conjunction
with the private detectives.
Government May Ignore.
There was strong suspicion last
night that the government would take
no hand in the prosecution of Fitzger
aid, and that the case would have to
lie, as it does now, III the states at
torney's office. The warrant on which
Fitzgerald was arrested was sworn
out by Detective Young before Judge
Chetlain and simply accuses the for
mer sub-treasury employe of stealing
the $173, ,0G0 from William Boldenweck
sub-treasurer. There is no mention
made of the government.
1t is believed that Chief Wilkie ant
Captain Porter look askance upon th'
evidence in the case. a number o

that is done and more enthusiasm
