Enlists in Signal Corps

In December of last year he enlisted
in the signal corps. giving as his quail
fications for that exacting branch OF the
service the fact that he was a tele-
graph operator. He was only fairly
proficient with the key. His enlistment,
it was said. was primarily for the pur-
pose of concealing his presence here
He was assigned TO Company at the
Presidio. During the FIVE months Ack-
erman was at the post he did not dis
tinguish himself above his fellows He
was good soldier and performed his
duties conscientiously. His equipments
were we'll cared for. he was sober and
did not abuse any privileges accorded
him, The only thing that marked him
as different from his fellow rankers
was the fact that he was continually
receiving money from the east. On one
occasion a check for 5000 arrived, and
frequent money orders were cashed by
the private soldier.
Always a Friend to Boys"
Ackerman did not parade his wealth
and spoke very guardedly of his con-
nections. but he was always willing to
make a loan to a bunkie. One time he
displayed orders for passes over the
Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and North
ern Pacific But evidently the time
was not ripe then for desertion-

man took advantage of his last chance
for leave of absence.

On Friday Ackerman, accompanied
by a fellow soldier named Lynn W
Appleton, who deserted with him. and
Private Brennan. who stayed at his
post, went to the Southern Pacific
offices in the Flood building. There he
sought out high Official Of the company
and produced his credentials. In

and clerks and passenger agents sour

Promoted for Efficiency

Director Leach came to Washington
as the successor Of George Roberts,
for many years at the head of the
United States mints. Leach had been
for years superintendent of the United
states mint at san Francisco. From
the outset he ineugurated important
improvements in the various depart
ments. notably those devoted to smeIt-
ing and coming. where. by new pro-
cesses, Leach saved hundpeds Of thou
sands of dollars to the government.
His record attracted the attention OF
metallurgists throughout the United
states ana abroad. So remarkable was
il that Washington took notice. Leach
was selected by President Roosevelt TO
succeed Director Roberts on account
Of the superior work he had done for
the government at San Francisco.

TO confirm the report.
Ii is d fact that Mrs. Leach has not
been in good health, and this reason
probably is strong enough to impel
Director Leach to return to California
permanently
Speculation as TO the corporation
that wants his services leads closely

Tariff Debate Lengthy

WASHINGTON, May s.-The tariff
bill will continue to receive the un-
divided attention of the senate during
the present week. Ostensibly the
amendments to the different schedules
will be before the senate, but there
will doubtless be much general discus
sion of the whole tarIff question. The
bill has aroused opposition among re-
publican senator's which had not been
counted upon, and while the finance
committee is still confident that it
will be sustained. there is little effort
by the members to conceal the fact
that they are annoyed over the stu
alton because of the delay, if for no
other reason. The general opinion is
that in the end the committee will
prevail. but every turn in the path
way of discussion opens up new vistas,
so that, apparently, the end is still
afar off,
The great bulk of provisions to
which objection has been made is still
to be disposed of. The lead schedule
viii again be considered when the bill
is taken UP tomorrow.
In the house the Philippine tariff bill
will be reported tomorrow and there
will be an effort to consider it Thurs
day. If there should. be objection on
account OF. absence OF "a quorum a res
cess will be taken until Friday, when
the house will proceed with the dis
cussion of the bill. There is little
or no opposition to the measure.

Soldiers Dodge Into Car


They lodged into an innocent look
ing drawing room car on a siding The
blinds Of the car were drawn. The
windows did not even wink. Later
a careless yard engine picked up the
sleeping coach in a matter of fact way
and gently aroused il into action.
without calling out the guard or dip
ping the colors, the car with it's mill
tary burden slipped slyly down the
track and was kicked into the midst
Of a train then being made up.
The signal was given and the train
started out. while the two signal corps
men clinked their iced glasses behind
the drawn blinds. The two deserters
were travelling with as much luxury
and a great deal more seclusion than
the commander in chief of the United
States army could command. That is
where the paradox OF the pull comes in

be responsible for Ackerman's hurried
and elaborate flight. At one time the
young man lived there. He met the
girl, so it was learned at the Presidio
during the less guarded moments of the
soldiers conversation. and there was a
romance, that was at the same time
something of a tangle. Ackerman left

Large Sum to be Expended on High
ways.

That the good roads movement has
taken strong hold on the people of Rock
county may be seen from the proceed
ings of the late meeting of the county
board when applications for county aid
were received from large number of
country towns. The petitions of four
teen townships for aid in grading on
roads were presented to the board and
the amounts desired named. Each
town collects a certain amount to pay
half and the county furnished the other
half of the cost. The petitions were
from the towns of Newark, for $500;
Milton and Fulton, in the same amounts;
from Avon, for $500; Beloit, 81, 900;
town of GAINESVILLE, $3.50; Center, $500;
Union, $720; Porter, $500; Rock, 1896;
Plymouth, Magnolia, Bradford and
Clinton, each desiring $1,000. These
were referred to committee No 6.
The legislature has before it two
measures for state aid in building high
ways and is expected to choose between
the two shortly. The two bills differ
radically. One introduced by Assem-
blyman Jones, provides for a commits
sion which shall exercise general adj
ministrative powers. The sum of $500,
900 year for the period oS six years is
appropriated to provide for the state
aid contemplated in the bill.
The counties receive aid under Ere
fund system" after the roads have been
constructed and approved.
The bill by Senator Browne would
more fully utilize the present state
geological survey, providing for a state
engineer and the general administrative
machinery necessary. Already there is
talk of substitute bill that will bring
together ideas suggested in both bills,
with leaning toward the general
theory of the Jones measure.
Under the plan for substitute bill,
the state money would be so apportlon-
ed that the state defrays in general
one-third of the cost of constructions
and improvements, the other two-thirds
being borne by the counties and towns.
The idea also is to limit the counties to
$1,000 as the maximum that may be
spent by them in any one town IN one
year.
1t is contemplated to retain in the
substitute bill the creation of high
way commission of three, with salaries
of So, 500 each, whose work shall extend
to the investigation into the best meth
DDS of road building and to adopt ideas
and methods discovered to the needs of
the dist. tets to be improved. The pro-
posed bill will provide for state aid in
the purchase for counties of road build
ing machinery, whenever the commits
sion finds such expenditures justified by
the needs, will be expended wisely and
under the direction of the commission.
