Franklin MacVeagh, who is sec
|retary of treasury in President
Taft's cabinet, is Chicago's princi-
|pal wholesale grocer. His expert
ence with the treasury will be his
first contact with real public life.
Mr.. MacVeagh's politics, which
are republico-democratic, have
been of the academic sort. They
are the politics which figure In
after-dinner speeches. Once, how
ever, he came near getting into
real politics. This was when he
was the minority party's candidate
for the United States senate. That
was in 1894. Minority candidates
are never elected. The rest of Mr..
MacVeagh's Life has been spent
managing the wholesale grocery
house of which he became an &C
tive manager along back in 1865.
While managing the grocery
business and living on the Lake
Shore drive, he has carried some
|of those pleasant honors which
are handed to well-behaved, prom
inent citizens. For example, he
has been president of the
Municipal Art league, likewise on
the board of the National Civic
federation. He was vice president
of the American Civic association
that is-and he served
as vice president at one time of
the Iroquois club, the democratic
political club which nominated
Cleveland.
Mr.. MacVeagh was originally a
republican, then he was an Iro-
quois club democrat, and when
Mckinley was nominated he be-
came one OF those democrats who
vote the republican ticket. Mr..

MacVeagh is a brother of Wayne
MacVeagh, who had a distinguish
ed connection with two presiden-
tial cabinets.
Mr.. MacVeagh has social
charm. He makes a creditable,
though not scintillating, after
dinner speech, and he is liked by
those who comes in contact with
him. Mr.. MacVeagh was in 1874
president of the citizens associ-
alton of which organization it is
asserted in Who's Who" that 1T
'inaugurated many municipal re-
forms" Just what became of
these reforms after they were in
augurated is question for experts
on inauguration.
Subsequent to 1874 Mr.. Mac
.Veagh has not troubled himself
with the "uplift." He believes in
letting well enough alone-gen-
orally. In other words, he is a
conservative, safe and sane, re-
spectacle, comfortable, mature,
wealthy citizen.
He graduated from Yale in
1862, and from the Columbia Col
lege of Law in 1864, and then
climbed into the grocery business.
And there he has chung. What
congress and the job hunters will
do to Mr.. MacVeagh in the seeth-
ing maelstrom of a real political
job in real capital of a real ma
ton is an awful thought to con-
template. Mr.. MacVeagh was
born in Chester county, Pennsyl-
vania, and is 81 years of age.

BOYS USE KITE
TO RECEIVE
MESSAGES
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
LOS ANGELES, March Is
After receiving wireless messages
from San Francisco in the day
time, three 19-year-old boys are
given credit today for having per-
formed feat which four profess
sional operators have several
times attempted without success.
Heretofore the resistance in the
day time has been too great for
the local wireless stations to over
come.
The boys, Leon Benner, Samuel
Richey and Archie Paulsen, sur
mounted it yesterday by sending
up al aerial receiver attoched to
a kite. The kite was flown at the
end of a fine wire two miles long.

After he fell and was surround
ed by gendarmes who ran to his
rescue, Petrosino gasped In Ital-
han the names of his assailants.
They failed to comprehend hiM
ut first owing to their belief that
he was an Englishman and when
they discovered him to be an Ital-
ian he was past speaking.
1t is reported that in Petrosino's
trunk the police found a dozen
complete outfits with which to dis
guise himself. Several show signs
of usage.

SHAKEUP
(By United Press Leased Wire.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PALMERO, Sicily, March 15.-
The assassination of Lieutenant
Joseph Petrosino of the New
York police department by Italian
Black Hand criminals has caused
a general shakeup here and many
noted criminals have been arrest
ed. Others are being pursued.
Petrosino had valuable papers in
his possession showing the plans
of the New York police in dealing
with Black Hand criminals. He
was followed to Italy by notorious
members of the Malta and his
death resulted. The body will be
shipped to New York.
Rome is agitated over the
question of liability to the United
States for the death of Petrosino.

Even When No Resolutions

ion Some make and break them every

II is well to set before us an ideal to
strive after, at least once a year. 9th

ment goes.
Consequently, there viii be on this

And our New Year resolutions became
somehow or other less resolutions than

be a little more friendly, a little more

the last year has been; that we may
