LEAVENWORTH COUNCILMAN
SAYS TWO ELECTRIC MA
CHIMES ON HILLSIDES WOULD
DO BUSINESS.

Leavenworth, Nov. Heaven
worth, at the mouth of the Tumwater
canyon, is to be lighted in novel
manner If the views of Councilman
S. c. Woldenberg are carried out.
At the last meeting of the council
plan was submitted by the Tum-
water Light & Power company to
furnish lights to the city. A petit
ton was also presented urging the
council to enter into a contract to
illumine the streets and the business
section
The contract was holly discussed
as to the price, when Councilman
Woldenberg said: eff the town owned
it's light it could place two search
lights on the side hills at the end of
the town of 5000 candlepower each
which would light the town as light
as day, and if there were still any
dark places smaller lights could be
placed where they would do most
good"
A hard fight was made against the
contract proposed by the company.
Attorney J. J. King said that no
lights were needed in the south end
of town because a Moon lived there.
The retort came back that the worthy
attorney would need none on account
of the legal lights in his section.
A majority favored entering into
the contract. Mayor Lewis J. Nelson
who was opposed to the matter, re-
signed, as he had no veto power
Five cluster lights are to be placed
on the main street and Al incandes-
cents on the side screets for three
years for $500 per year.

TRIED FOR GIRL
MURDER

Boston, Nov. 2.-Unless the police
are mistaken, the trial of Peter c..
Dolorey and James Mantir, which is
scheduled to begin in the superior
court at East Cambridge tomorrow,
Will prove the truth of the old saying
that murder will out. The crime OF
which the young men are accused was
the murder of Annie Mullins, a young
girl whose mutilated body was found
In field in Arlington a year ago
last March. For more than year
the case completely baffled the au-
thorities, who were unable to OBJ
tain the slightest clue to the perpe-
traitors of the outrage Then, when
the public had almost forgotten the
affair except in the immediate vicin-
ity Of the place where it occurred, the
two youths were arrested as re-
suit of statements made by one of
them. Delorey, the one who was ar
rested first, is said to have made a
complete confession involving Mantir
in the crime.
Few crimes have caused so much
stir in this vicinity as the murder of
the Mullins girl She was employed
in the home of a Harvard professor.
AS far as her employers knew she
had few friends or acquaintance in
the neighborhood and received few
visitors. She was religious and a
devOut attendant of the Catholic
church.
On the night of March 27, last
year, she obtained permission of her
mistress to attend church and had
made preparations to do SO. About
7 o'clock that evening while the girl
was at work in the kitchen, her mis-
tress saw an unknown man go toward
the kitchen door. She heard him
speak to her domestic. and then saw
him hurry away. In a few minutes
Annie Mullins went upstairs and then
left the house.
From the dress of the young wo-
man when her body was found next
morning it was evident that she had
intended staying away from theI
house short time only When found,
she was fully clothed, even to her
hat, which was still pinned to her
hair. Her throat was cut, apparently
with vicious slash that had nearly
severed the head from the body. Her
gloves were still on her hands, and
the general appearance of the body
indicated that while the girl had

May Adopt Commission Plan.

Topeka, Kas., Nov. 2.-Whether
Topeka, the capital and largest city
of Kansas, shall follow the example
Of Leavenworth and other cities Of
the state in adopting the commission
form of government is to be decided
at today's election. While the busi-
ness men generally are in favor of
the proposed change 1t has been bit
terly opposed by the majority of the
politicians and Office holders and the
campaign leading up to the election
was one of the most spirited in To-
peka's history. An unusually large
vote was polled early in the day, in
dicating the widespread interest
which the question has aroused.

made sharp resistance, the murder
had been committed quickly.
Theories were exploited and aban-
doned, men with whom she had been
known to have talked on several oc-
casions,. relatives with whom she was
said to have had disagreements, and
friends of her childhood, who had
not been known to have seen her for
years, were tracked and questioned,
but without any clue being obtained
to the murderer. r
Early in March of this year Mantir
and Delorey were arrested on sus-
picion and questioned by the police
for one whole night. Delorey is said
to have admitted that he had been on
the scene while the girl was killed,
but said he had no part in the MUIR
der. What he told the police seemed
to place the burden of proof on Man
tir.

A. L. Rogers State Regent.

Hay has offered the appointment of
regent of the state university to A.
L. Rogers of this city and that Mr..
Rogers has accepted. Mr.. Rogers is
very reticent about the matter ana as

Colonel Steward Well Fitted to Handle

Colonel Steward Well Fitted to Handle
the Windy City's BIuecoats.
Not every man wants to be chief of
big city's police force. And not every
man. of course. is capable of filling
such a position. Mayor Busse of Chi
rago discovered these facts recently
when he had such an appointment to
ill The matter was finally adjusted,
however, by the selection of Colonel
lie Roy L. Steward as head of the
bluecoats of the Windy City. man
well fitted for this office. He has had
years of experience in military af-
fairs. having occupied leading places
in the state militia, and as superin-
tendent of the Chicago postotice he
had personal direction over a force as
large as that in the city police depart
ment.
Colonel Steward was born in Dayton.
o.. March "a, 1862. He was educated
ut the schools in his native city and
came to Chicago April l, 1870 He
early interested himself in the ma
tional guard and was lieutenant of the
First regiment from 1880 to 1886.
Then he became associated with the
Second regiment. in which he was cap
tain from 1888 to 1898. He was in
spector general. the ranking officer, on
the staff of General Wheeler, First
brigade, |. n. G.
In those years Colonel Steward was
active in the civic affairs of Chicago
also. He was on the committee of one
hundred of the worlds fair and was
chairman of the committee of public in
formation in connection with the open
ing of the exposition. More recently
