DIRECTOR NORTH OUT
Continued from first page.

sumed that while his contracts were cancelled
and he must recognize the authority of his supe-
rIor the political influence exerted at the White
House in his behalf had proved ample to remove
the danger of a demand for his resignation
Conseouentlv. statements appeared saying that
all friction between Mr.. Nagel and Mr.. Nortn
was at end.
Mr. Nagel, on the other hand. having become
convinced that Mr. North was not the proper
man for the office he flied, decided that' De
cause Of Mr. Norths political influence, 1t was
imnortant to conduct an investigation so thor
ough and to prepare report so convincing ds
NOT only to demonstrate to those who might
epproach the President in Mr.. Norths bena1
the correctness of the Presidents course In ap-
pointing his successor but to preclude any oe-
Giro on the mart of Mr. North to have the report
become public through a controversy in the
Senate.
RESIGNED AFTER SEEING REPORT
Secretarv Nagers report was practically COM
uleted Yesterday, and Mr.. North was permitted
to glance over it. Early this morning he sent
his RESIGNATION to the White House. Through
ont the entire affair there has never been the
slightest feeling of animosity on the part OF
Secretary Nagel and he has been guided soleiy
by a desire most wisely to promote the interests
Of the census bureau. for which he Is respoh-
sible.
Secretary NageI announced to-day that' IN
asr,ucb as Congress had authorized the expert
roen+s with machines to be made by the gov
ernment. he would follow the spirit OF the law
So far as is practicable and economical he
would not of course, sanction any construction
of machinery for the government on uhe
work" but he had instructed the solicitor OF the
department to advertise for bids for the con-
struction of the completed machines. If when
these bids are received it is found that they
can be constructed and operated as economically
and efficiently as could machines purchased
from some private concern. contracts Will be
placed IT, on the other hand, it is found that
machines can be bought from private concerns
more cheaply, and that they will prove more
efficient, that course will be pursued.
While the necessary machinery is not to be
constructed or assembled in the machine shop
OF the Census Bureau, that shop will be main
tained to make repairs the machines ulti-
mateIy purchased 1t is probable that until the
new director Is confirmed by the Senate no
further changes will be made in the Census Bu-
reau but there is no doubt that when he takes
charge there will be a thorough reorganization
Of the office
Mr. Durand, who succeeds Mr.. North. is from
California He has been in the bureau Of cor
porations for some time. He known to Mr..
Nagel only by reputation before March 4, al
though his reputation was known most favor
ably. His selection completely disposes Of the
silly reports that Mr.. NOrths place was wanted
by Postmaster General Hitchcock TO pay a po-
ntical debt
Chief Clerk Rossiter will act as director OF the
census until Mr.. Durand is confirmed and quail
ifes.

two sisters, Rosa Mcmahon and MAJ
gAret Van Royen. and his brother-iu
law, Alonzo Van Royen, has com
menced serving q life sentence In tn,
Kansas state penitentlary at Lansing
He is now known a. No. 1855. HI
pleaded guilty to murder on all three
charges and technically is under thre'
life sentences.
Mcmahon was arraigned on thret
separate charges Of first degree muir
der within ten minutes before Judge
Hugh Smith in the Wyandotte Court o.
common pleas. Only once, when an
swering the charge Of numbering his
sister Rosa, who was his favorite, did
he show any emotion. Then his voice
faltered as he answered guilty" and
tears stood In his eyes. Each Of the
three charges was read to him and
each time Joseph Taggart, the prose
cutting attorney asked:
What do you answer, guilty or NOT
guilty?"
Guilty" was the reply in faint
voice.
1t was late in the afternoon that
Jim" determined to plead guilty tc
the charges that he had confessed tc
Tuesday and go to the penitentiary
last night. After the sentence was pro
nounced he was placed on trolley cal
and hurried to Lansing.
When L. Newton Wilder, his attor
ney, visited Mcmahon about 4 O'Clock
and told him that the family had held
consultation and decided that II
would be best for him to plead guilty
at once and the other members leave
the county Mcmahon replied that he
was ready to go before the judge at
once and enter a plea in the case Of
Van Royen. He was unwilling, how
ever, to plead guilty to the murder Of
his sister Rosa. After some considera.
ton, however, he agreed to do this
also.

OLD FASHIONED REVIVAL.
MethOdlsts Will Hold Special Services
at Church.

The Methodist church wishes tC
announce to all in Abilene and com
munity that with Sunday, Oct. 81, we
will begin special meeting for re-
vival. We want the public to know
our plans and we wish to give q
special invitation to all to participate
In the meetings. We do not intend
to bring special evangelist to the
church for the reason we believe that
the local church and pastor can bet
ter conserve the interests Of all. The
meetings will be conducted along the
we'll known lines that have marked
Methodism through the years. We
have the old fashioned mourners'
bench, the short sermon, the appeal
to heart and conscience, the chance
for an immediate decision. One fea-
iture Of the meetings will be the sing
ing of the old campmeeting songs.
Three hundred new song books have
been secured, and a local chorus led
by J. A. Tufts will lead the singing
The meetings will begin each evening
with song service at 1880 o'clock.
when we stop one minute and think
how many of our neighbors have died
since the last revival and when we
think how much our minds are taken
up with the things Of this life is 1t
not time we were compelled to stop
and give a little attention to the
welfare of our souls? what will
1t profit man II he gain the whole
world and lose his soul" Come to
