Resolutions Advocate Temper
ate Use of Fermented
Beverages.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, june 10.-The
United States Brewers Association
held it's closing session today. Pro-
motion of temperance in the use OF
fermented beverages. temperance being
defined as neither abuse nor disuse"
is favored by the association in a
lengthy declaration of principles adopt
ed today. The brewers also favor
elimination of the objectionable fea-
lures of the retail liquor traffic and
pledge their fullest cooperation to that
end.
The brewers also declared that it is
a mistake to believe that the COM
mercial interests of the brewer stand
back Of the excessive multiplication of
saloons or any of the unlawful or i'm
proper practises of the saloon-keeper.
Whenever a spirit of genuine inquiry
and rational betterment shall take the
place of needless persecution the brew
ers will welcome such inquiry and will
| gladly refrain from participation in
politics.

LINGERIE DRIVES
FORT, IN BUSHES,
FROM STATE SALE

Governor ]. Franklin Fort permitted
a blush to crimson his cheek, it is said,
when invited to bid on women's fnery
sold at public auction in the State
House at Trenton yesterday.
The Trenton itemizers and the State
officials aver that when the Governor
was asked to make a bid on c~orsets,
yard-long stockings and lingerie he de-
clined and withdrew, his face rosy with
bushes.
The articles sold were brought from
Europe by Mrs. Josephine Bryne, of
New York, and wege seized in Hoboken
because duty on them was not paid.
Judge Alton B. Parker was counsel
for Mrs. Bryne when the seizure was
made, but did not appear at the III
ton, which was conducted by Marshal
Thomas j. Alcott, of the United States
District Court, who bought a lot of the
lingerie.

GRAND JURORS GO
SLOW IN PROBE
MAYOR REQUESTS

Discussion of the letter sent recently
by Mayor Jacob Haussling, in which
he asked the grand jury to investigate
the charge made in certain newspapers
that he was proftirg by public con-
tracts, kept that body busy for some
time at its session late yesterday. No
action was taken, however. as several
of the members appeared to be siren
uously opposed to interference, ON
sidering that the controversy was out
side of their sphere and one that should
be settled by the parties directly inter-
ested.
At the same time the subject may
be taken up again and something def
mite done. II may be disposed of in
the presentment that will be turned
into court when the grand jury is dis
/, charged at the close of its term.

Tacks Counted Both Ways
IN some of the smaller one-night stands
= throughout the country the old custom still
prevails of keeping the advance sale by stick
ing wooden pegs or tacks in a board. In this
case the diagram of the theater is represented
on the board, with holes for the seats. When
a tack or peg IS stuck IN one OF these holes
it indicates to other purchasers who come
later that this particular seat has been en-
gagged.
The late Sol Smith Russell was always
very much interested in his advance sales
When he arrived in a town where he was to
appear one of the first things he did was to
seek out the place where seats for the per-
Torrance were sold in advance and ascertain
what the prospects were for filling the house
This habit renamed strong with him even IN
the full tide of his success, when he was pretty
sure to play to capacity IN every city through
out the country, with the single exception of
New. York. Strangely enough, in the face of
repeated attempts to win its favor, New York
was the only city in the United States in which
Russell could not attract large audiences.
In the early days of his struggles as star,
Russell got off train one morning in a small
Missouri town, and Immediately fastened to
the book store on the main street in which
he had been informed the advance sale of the
theater was kept. When he asked a shock
headed clerk how seats were going, the latter
held before him board in which were fastened
SIX lonely looking tacks.
What does this mean!" Russell asked.
1t means, mister, that six seats has been

sell one we put in a tack"
Business that night, as might be expected,
was very poor and the next morning Russell
with his company journeyed to another town.
On his arrival there he hurried usual to
find out what his advance sale was. At this
town it was kept in the drug store, and to his
great delight the board was simply covered
with tacks. There were places left for only
five more
Going to have a crowded house, eh?" he
said jubilantly
No" said the drug clerk gloomi1y, I'VE re
goin' to do rotten!"
Then how is it all those tacks are stuck in
the board?" he was asked.
That's how we started when we opened
the SALE" was the discouraging response.
" Just five seats has been sold. Most op'ry
houses put in; but we take out"

System
On Frisco

ST. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 3O.-The st.
Louis & San Francisco Railroad com
pany has just closed with the Union
Switch & Signal company OF Swiss
vale, Pa, what is probably one of the
largest contracts for automatic block
signals that was ever let. This con.
tract calls for the installation of ap-
proxmately 1900 automatic block sig
nails, covering 700 miles Of single
track and twenty-five miles of double
track, and win greatly increase the
efficiency of the train service.
The sestion Of the Frisco to be
covered by this installation is the
eastern division from ST. Louis to Mo-
nett, Mo-; the Ozark division from
Springfield Mo. to Thayer, Mo-. and
the southeastern division from Amory,
Miss, to Birmingham Ala The traf-
fie on these sections is particularly
heavy and for this reason they we're
chosen.
The system to be used on the single
track is one Of the most up-to-date and
extensive that has been devised. The
signals will not only indicate the pres
ence of a train in the blocks but
broken rail or the removal of a rail
or a piece of It. Also switch that
has been left open or only partially
closed, also the presence Of car
or cars that are within fouling linn
its due either to carelessness, or, as
frequently happens, car being blown
out on the main line in a storm. The
signals. Of course. will give head-on
as well as trailing protection and are
to be located SO as to give approx
mately two-mile blocks. The signals
governing the approach to stations
are to be so arranged as to give ad-
vance indication of the train order
signals.
On the double track, what is known
as the paralyzed wireless system is to
be used, and the signals will give all
the indications that those on the sin
gle track do except the head-on pro-
lection and that is unnecessary where
all the trains run in the same direc-
ton.
The signals themselves are to be
of the electric semaphore three-posi-
ton ground type throughout, and are
to give the indications in the upper
right hand quadrant The night in
dieations are to be red light for dan
ger stop; yellow light, caution, proceed
with train under control expecting to
find next block occupied; and the
green tight for clear or proceed. The
