Ragtin1e Harmony of Nightly FOUNDERS
Antdote for Sleep at Mount Pleasant;
Police Start Crusade on the Quartet

Precinct station No. 10 has forever
branded itself as lacking in a finer
esthetic sense. Precinct No. 10 is
prosaic. 1t is mundane. II is sadly
devoid Of those finer sensIbIIities which
have so characterized its brother pre-
cIncts.
Precinct station no. 10 is looking
with murder in its eye and a heavy
club In its hand, for a quartet which
has lately been charming the residents
OF Mt. Pleasant with its soulful songs.
IT was about a week ago on a dark
and stormy night that No. 10 declared
war on the mysterious quartet. one of
tho police officers Of shat station Was
stumbling glumly along Thirteenth
street In the midst OF a binding rain
when a sound fell upon his ear that
caUscd him to stop entranced.
'Sku-u-ul da-a-a-ys, sku-u-u-ul da-
arrays" walled a thin and somewhat
nasal tenor from the shadow Of a build
ing across the muddy street.
The officer looked around, but could
see no one.
'Dear-r-rol golden r-r-ru-u-l da-a-ays."
grumbled q deep and angry bass, plain
lively.
The officer took out his revolver ana
examined It carefully. He then inves-
tgated his blackjack. This murderOus
cry, this concourse Of shrieks could
only mean one thing. a desperate viO-
latiOn Of the law. The officer forth

Senator Knox and Other
Congressman Speak at
Pittsburg Banquet.

PITTSBURG, Feb. Ex-senator PHI
lander c. Knox Of Pennsylvania was the
chief speaker last night at the annual
Lincoln birthday banquet of the Pitts
burg chamber of commerce. He confined
his remarks. based on the subject OF
'Our Commercial Future" to an analysis
of the Governments expenditures on the
Panama canal and the Intellectual eff
forts Of certain cities in this country
TO obtain the necessary appropriations
with which to raise their harbor chan
nels 10 the standard Of thu isthmian
waterway.
Senator Knox said that unless these
claims are allowed Congress will stand
self-ccnvicted of spending between $780,
100000 and $500 0OO 900 TO perfect tho ca
nal foI the benefit of foreign commerce
and denying the seacoast harbors OF the
United states the means to enable them
to enjoy the iall benefits Of the canal.
He said:
do we wish, while spending that
sum outside the United States, TO
Withhold or even stint the probable $780,
100000 Or possibly $500. 100000 that will at
once secure to the canal the vast traffic
OF the Mississippi basin, and give TO
half our population the due return from
their contribution to that work. I can
not believe that with its true nature
Compreheuded Congress can perpetrate
that logical in1pOssibility.'
