CLEVER TRAP Is SET
BY CONSTABLE

lover to Constable Shaw, but Maui
"a had disappeared.
Shaw. however, learned last
Sunday. that he had returned and
was staying at his brothers house.
He repaired there last night, and
could see through the window that
there were at least eight men in
the place, and Shaw could not tell
which was his man, as he only
had a description to go by.
SO he waited outside until one
of the men left, and approaching
him, he asked, where Dominic
Mauza could be found.
What for you want Dominie?"
was the response, cycling Shaw
suspiciously.
II owe him grocery BILL"
glibly replied Shaw.
"Oh. Ne shoy you. Him out
side" And now Dominic and his
erstwhile friend are at outs.

DISPLAY OF TACT RESULTS IN
ARREST OF MAN WANTED
SINCE AUG. 10.

A clever trap set by Constable
Shaw of Judge Arntson's court led
to the arrest yesterday of Domin-
lie Mauza, who is wanted for OBJ
tanning goods fraudulently from
the Tacoma Grocery company,
amounting to $4S.70. and then
leaving the country. Mauza got
the groceries last July on the rep
resentation that he was conducting
a retail store, but when the agents
of the Tacoma Grocery company
got around to his shop on X street
to collect the bill, there was no
shop and no Mauza, and certainly
no $48.70.
A warrant for Mauzo's arrest
was issued August 10, and turned

pany or to furnish them with necessary
information. Capt. c. r. kuhns of No. 10
fire engine company will May 81 be re-
duced to a private of class > in the fire

The charges against Capt. kuhns were
filed by C. b. Proctor. third battalion
chief. The specification declared:
1.-The said Capt. kuhns did in the pres
ence of the majority of his company ac-
knowledge to me that he had failed to
drill his men as the rules require. had
never furnished them with list of the
four fire hydrants nearest to each box in
their first alarm district, nor had he ever
furnished them with a list of routes to
study from.
gard To drilling his men, simply said he
sometimes forgot: and in regard to the
aforementioned lists. said he had never
made one out while in charge OF a COM

MACFARLANO IS INOORSEO
EAST END SUBURBAN CITIZENS
VOTE CONFIDENCE.
Mayor From Another City an Idea
Regarded as Reflection Oh
Washington.

Resolutions indorsing Henry b. F. Mac
farland as District Commissioner and con-
demning suggestions that the head or
heads of the District be appointed from
other cities were adopted at meeting
Thursday night of the East End Subur-
ban Citizens Association, held at 14O6 H
street northeast.
The resolutions set forth:
That this association does most earn
estly indorse the administration of Henry
B. F. Mcfarland as president of the
board of Commissioners, recognizing in
him an able and faithful public servant
whose painstaking devotion to the duties
of his office and whose interest in the
welfare of the citizens of the city and
District have won for him the esteem and
confidence of men in every department of
civic and official life at the capital.
That we sincerely deplore the ex-
pressed determination of President Taft
to defer for the present the denomination
of Mr. Mcfarland. While we are con-
scious of the fact that he is prompted by
motives having for their object the pro-
motion of good government in the Dis
trict, we are at the same time convinced
that the denomination of Mr.. Macfarland
would have elected popular approval and
have gone far toward aiding in a salts
government
This association begs to express its
unqualified condemnation of the .sugges-
ton submitted by Mr. Reynolds to Presi-
dent Roosevelt that. in the event of a
change of the form of government of the
District of Columbia. the President be
empowered to select a governor from an
other city. We regard tnis as a reflection
upon the integrity and intelligence of the
citizens of the District. hundreds of
whom. in addition to possessing an init
mate knowledge of local conditions, are
qualified to fill with credit to the gov
ernment and the people of the community
any position to which the President might
appoint them.
The association also decided to ask the
Commissioners to include in their esti-
mates for the next fiscal year $4,000 for
paving with asphalt Bladensburg road
from the end of the present asphalt to
Mount Oiiyet cemetery. Another item
which the association members desire to
have included in the next District appro-
priation act is one for 5000 for improv
ing NJ street between Bladensburg road
and 2sth street. In the last District act
money was appropriated for grading the
street and IL is felt by the members that
the Improvement of the street should
follow.

Canada Busy Building Railroads.


Harvests without transportation are
waste. The intending settler, if he is dis
Greet, will inquire into the attitude and
the enterprise of the railways on which
he will have to depend to get his grain to
market. He finds them all busy building
additional miles of track. He learns that
in 1GI the Canadian Pacific increased it's
branch lines by so miles. and in 1903 by
some S26 more. that the new transcon-
tinental, the Grand Trunk Pacific. could
count 4O6 miles added to it's completed
woik in 1907. and 45O more in 1908: that
the Canadian Northern enlarged its sys-
tenn by 215 miles in 1907, and by 245 in
1908. and that the three railways to-
gether have in actual operation in west
ern Canada 1O13j miles of track. This
wear will see the energetic pushing on
ward of grading gangs and track-laying
machines by all three companies. The
Canadian Northern completed it's short
line connection to Duluth, which gives
Canadian wheat another outlet in the
great lakes. and a line from Winnipeg TO
tablished wheat country. The Canadian
Pacific built up through the Last noun
tain valley district into Saskatoon. and is
rapidly pushing westward toward Ed
monton and the mountains. evidently
bound to have a second transcontinental
main line. And the new railway. the
Grand Trunk Pacific is running trains
from Winnipeg 10 Wainwright, on the
Battle river. $50 miles northwest. and
took its share of the heavy hauling en-
tailed by the immense grain crop of 1908.
