Sensation in

Assistant Engineer Says Records OF
Work in Question Were Stolen
from His Home.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Investigation into
allegations that the city of Chicago had
paid $45, 600 to a contractor for excavation
Of shale rock in the Lawrence avenue
sewer, which should nave been paid for as
excavation Of clay instead, was undertaken
in detail today by the Merriam commits
sion, which was appointed to inquire into
municipal expenditures.
The charges led to a surprising develop
ment yesterday, when Assistant City En-
glneer r, A.. Bonnell, who had charge of
the questioned excavations. said that his
records had been stolen from his home a
few nights ago.
Bonnel appeared before the commission
today and insisted that he had been given
permission by city officials to take the
records TO his home for safe keeping after
charges concerning the work had been
made.
City officials, including Commissioner of
Public Works John Hanberg, his assistant,
Paul Redleske, and City Engineer Ericsson,
were questioned by the commission by Spe-
cial Attorney Walter l.. Fisher. Investlga-
ton not yet concluded brought admissions
Of unbuslnesslike methods used in keeping
track of municipal contracts.
1t also developed that the city council
had, in paying the money on the contract
in question, permitted the statutory re-
serve on municipal contracts to fall below

ing Overtime,

PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 12.-(Speoial)-
" lille 1909 has been a year OF great rail-
way activity in South Dakota, 1t has not
up to to the present, with active operations
for the year near a close, shown a s...t
mile Of new trackage In the state. Thcra
has been considerable grading done at off
ferent points, but none OF the work in
that line has reached the stage when II
has been brought to the operating stage.
While this Is the situation up to date,
everything is IN shape for the addition Of
q large amount OF new mileage next year,
The Milwaukee road has probably put In
more construction work in the state than
has any OF the other lines operating within
It's borders. The road has rushed work on
lines west OF the Missouri river in terri
tory which is to be opened to settlement
the first of next April, and IL now in
shape where II can quickly get lines oper-
Ating for the handling of the new settlers

practically done on the line from Mo

OF the reserve. leaving the bridging and
rail laying yet to be done. on the Fox
Ridge line south OF the Moreau river
grading Is under way and the line will
probably be in the same state OF readi-
ness for active work before winter sets In.
The Northwestern road, while 1t has
been fully as active as the Milwaukee in
preliminary work, has not pushed grading
60 any such extent as has the rival COM
pany. Grading outfits are yet at work on
the line connecting the Pierre line with the
one which now terminates at Gettysburg,
anc the grading win probably be completed
on that line before work is stopped for
the winter. The road also Is grading on

like many other passengers, was nearly
bursting with indignation.
For my par l think it's outrage enough
that people have to put up with this
Farnam service, let alone being insulted

dle-aged man OF very neat appearance who
was inside the car. Even If the young
man had not paid his fare that condue-
tor has no right to insult him as he has
done"
Up to Fortieth and FarnaE, no transfer
was issued and the young man, evidently
determined by now to pay the second fare
to reach his ~destlnation-an imposition that
became very common during the recent
strike-took names Of several men
and said he would appeal to President
Wattles in the hope Of getting some re-
dress.

Headquarters and the Second and Third

The Third battalion of the Nineteenth
infantry now stationed at Fort Mackenzie
will depart for San Francisco Immediately
on the arrival of the Eighteenth, and will
sail for the Philippines on December 8.
A coincidence will be noticed in the as
signment of the Eighteenth infantry to
Fort Mackenzie, in that the section of the
territory where Fort Sheridan is located,
was the scene of the campaigns Of the
Eighteenth infantry against the Sioux
Indians in the Indian wars Of 1868. Only
two miles from Sheridan a battalion Of the
Eighteenth infantry was massacred by Red
Cloud and his band of Indians In December,

FRESH YOUNG CONDUCTOR
PR0v0kES PEOPLE TO WRATH
Holds One Passenger Up to HumIIia-
tiOn OF All others I'm "A Far
nam Car.

There is a certain tall, pale-faced young
conductor on the Farnam street car line
who is not increasing his own or his com
pany's popularity with the people unfor-
tunate enough as to have to ride on his
car. At times he becomes impudent to
passengers and always has more to say
than the company requires Of its employees.
The other evening a genteel appearing
young man on the rear end of a crowded
car asked this conductor for a transfer at
Fortieth and Farnam streets.
PAY me your fare first before you asst
fur any transfers" was the reply.
why. l paid my fare long ago" said
the young man with evident establishment.
Nav, you didn't pay your fare, see?
You can't fool me and you don't git no
transfer"
The car-one OF those little cramped
affairs that run out Farnam way-was
literally damned inside and out, and was
entirely impossible for any conductor to
be as certain as this fellow was that any
particular passenger had paid. But this
young man di1n't look like one who would
haggle over a nickel, not near as much
so as did the conductor, so he persisted
that he had paid his fare and insisted on
having a transfer when the car reached
Fortieth and Farnam, where he would have
to change.
BY his time the car was thinning out
so that all those left could focus their
eyes on the young man every time the
impudent conductor 'bawled" him out and
this he continued 70 do, despite the fact
that the passenger had apparently given IL
up.
Don't lie to me. guy" was one Of the
insults the conductor flung at the young
man

REPUBLICS IN CONFERENCE
Fourth Panamerican Congress to Be
Held Next July.
COMPULSORY ARBITRATION VI
Effort VIII he Made TO Arrive al
Plan to Constant War
fare Among the Smaller
Countries.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE fourth Of
a series of great conferences tina are stead
lily strengthening the bonds between the
republics Of the western hemisphere is TO
be held in Buenos Ayres, Argentine Re-
public, between July Is and 20 next, and
already the Argentine government, which
is to be the host in this case, has been
doing much to prepare for the meeting.
The date originally fixed for the fourth
international conference of American
states was May 20, 1910, but the fact that
a great exposition was to be held in the
same capital in that month, which might
o~vershadow the Importance Of the inter
national conference, led to the postpone
ment of the latter. Moreover, the month
Of July, being in the middle of the Ar
gentine winter, is certain to make the
visit to Buenos Ayres more agreeable to
the delegates from the north,
The governing board of the bureau Of
American republics already has dispatched
to every South and Central American a
ital a tentative program Of the subjects to
be considered by the~conference and the
various foreign offices have been at work
upon this with the purpose OF submitting
objections or suggesting amendments. Much
progress has been made and 1t is hoped
tina it soon will be possible TO ~promulgate
the final program. which, according 10
present indications, will not vary consid-
erably from that prepared by the board
OF governors.
Compulsory Arbitration.
The three preceding conferences have
moved along the lines OF least resistance;
that is to say, the delegates have adopted
as basic principles such propositions as
have secured the easy adhesion Of the
great majority, but no effort was made
to coerce the minority OF the states into
acceptance Of rules which, at first presen-
tation. were obnoxious to them. Instead.
when these were OF real Importance, they
were thoroughly debated and then re-
manded for further consideration at the
neN conference, In this way the confer
ences have been made educational. and OK
perience has shown that a sound PROPOSE
ton is almost certain to secure adhesion.
So It happens that the tentative pro-
