THE AMERICAN CITY.

Mr.. Frederick c. Howe, in his
study. The British City" has a
Ichapter OF comparisons between
American and British municipalities.
There is much valuable suggestion
to Kansas City on one of his state
ments:
Our cities are unframed to poll
teal organization. We have no ira
ditions Of what a city should be.
There is not that love and veneration
which long years of associated life
| give to the European citizen. In con-
| sequence, we have no municipal ex-
| perience, no social sense, to fall back
upon. Our people have not yet learn
ed how to work together
The first and last sentences OF the
humility, as true. Our cities have no
| civic political organization. There are
| political organizations within the
/ city, but they are controlled against
the city rather than for it. They are
| really private clubs of politicians and
! special interests, which the people
sometimes make use of to perform
| public service. That is the best that
can be said of them. In the abstract
sense, it is true, our cities are I'M
trained to political organization" Our
people have not yet learned how to
work together politically, that is,
to work together municipality
| The remainder of Mr.. Howe's con-
fession, or arraignment, is not so
true. That is to say, its one time very
close application to conditions here
| is rapidly being modified. The Kan
sas City spirit, for local instance,
| is a very real existence, though it in
cludes none OF the reverence for old
things, none of the cathedral spirit,
so TO speak, which does undoubtedly
enhance the intimate civic sense. We
may not age eity's spirit artificial
Ily tas wines are aged to take the
place of centuries of slow tradition.
But If is indisputaDle that American
cities are fast making up in intensity
of communal proprietorship, COM
munal activity. for their lack of
what may be called civic ancestry.
This, indeed, is the hopeful quality
in the development of American
municipalities. On the one side there
is the growth to more artistic living,
as wealth accumulates, and the con-
quest OF the purely unitarian fields
is made complete. Growing along
with this side of the citys finer char
acter is the realization of what the
we'll equipped city means in money
and material comfort to its citizens.
There comes feeling of loyalty to
/ the city that is loyal to its people.
As the sum Of its achievements
grows bigger the city creates force

viduals civic self-respect and respect

81 would not have killed that
woman for the world" says he,
when asked If he meant to dispatch
Mrs. Mann to the other world. That
he did not seek the life Of Mrs.
Heslip is a conclusion to be drawn
from his statement The bullet fired
from his gun was undoubtedly
meant for Mrs. Mann.
Casey says there is more at the
bottom of the affair than has been
shown He promises that when the
proper times comes he will make all
known. One would infer from the
tone of his voice when he made that
statement that sensations would fol-
low.
The murderer processes an ignor-
ance of the killing. He claims he

do you realize the enormity of
your crime? Have you any fear of
the consequences" were questions
leading up to the statement made
by the prisoner.
He hung his head upon his breast
and gazed steadily into the distance.
1t was fully five minutes before he
responded, almost at the top of his
voice, ''for Gods sake don't mention
that"
Patrick Casey was nervous as he
placed his face to the cell crate to
give to this paper statement
which up to that time his lips had
sealed. 1t was battle of patience
upon the part of the newspapermen,
a secret hesitatingly told by the man
behind the bars.
II loved her as / could sister,
was his reference to Mrs. Mann. The

that hardened, calloused being in

ory ansover Indulgence in liquor.
Casey rambled along throughout
the interview, now and again asking
the interviewers questions concern
ing the case His remarks were put
together and taken to the prisoner
for verification. In the presence of
Deputy Sheriff Pittman, Casey ac-
knowledged the genuineness OF the
following statement
"As to how the killing occurred,
/ am in complete ignorance. re-
member absolutely nothing about It,.
"The last l remember was taking
a drink in the Turf saloon; do not

Thus is the motive for the at

shown.
"Mr. Casey" said the interviewer,

The thought of murder struck you,

Casey in no manner cast any re-
fections upon the good character of
Mrs. Mann. When asked If he
were really in love with the injured
lady, he simply repeated the state
ment that he thought as much of
her as he could Of sister.
He was asked concerning counsel.
He said that as yet he had not ar
ranged for an attorney to handle

That an insane love for Mrs.
Alice Mann was the motive which
prompted Patrick G. Casey to take
the life of Mrs. Thomas Heslip and
mortally wound the woman who re-
jected his attentions, is borne out
by an exclusive statement made by
the prisoner yesterday afternoon to
representatives of the Bonanza.
1t required the best part of yes
terday afternoon to induce the pris-
oner to emerge from the silence be-
hind which he had barricaded his
knowledge of the crime which sent
an innocent woman to eternity,
placed another on the brink of the
grave, and caused a third to quit
this life by self-destruction.
Patrick Casey spends his time in
the deepest meditation; that he has
awakened to the enormity of his
crime is apparent to anyone who
takes the time to study the man.
His eyes possess the stare of one
who sees in the future terrible
penalty. His fingers twitch nervously
when not engaged in running
through what little hair adorns the
top of his head Now and then he
raises his voice almost to a yell
when answering some biting ques-
ton. He is far from ignorant. He
takes his time in speaking. He has
hopes of being freed. Like a drown
ing man that grasps at a straw, he

as he expressed it, he had heard of
the intense feeling against him in
Goldfield.
The prisoner was asked concern
ing the cut on his head. He said:
"They told me tried to commit
suicide" That was all he would
say concerning the wound. He was
told that he received 1t by being hit
over the head with gun previous
to his arrest. but he commented no
further concerning the cut.
He is taking things easy, despite
the fact that he betrays some emo

answer calls for entrance. He

looked "all right" he was admitted.

Rain Knocks
Out Canyon
Road

As the result of recent rain storms
at Ryan Canyon near Cherry Creek,
the county road has been washed
out for a distance OF fifteen hundred
feet. The road has been cut away to
a depth OF three feet, although in
some places holes have been cut to
q greater depth. 1T Iis Impossible to
get through the canyon except on
foot. Hundreds OF dollars have been
expended by the county in keeping
the road In proper repair, but the
frequent rain storms occurring In
that vicinity damage the thorough
fare to such an extent that further
repairs are always necessary. It is
the c%oncensus of opinion among the
residents of CHEEKY Creek that a per-
manent road cannot be built until
the ditch which carries the water
through the canyon is deepened. The
recurring rain storms cause the
small ditch to. overflow with disas-
trous results. In order that the ex-
act situation with RECORD to the
road through Egan Canyon may be
ascertained, the commissioners have
authorized o. e. Mann, the surveyor,
to investigate. Mr.. Mann leaves
for Cherry Creek today and upon
his return will recommend to the
board whether it would be advisable
to make a deeper ditch, and repair
the road, or whether it will be more
satisfactory to build a new road
along the foothills, where it would
not be affected by rain storms or
cloud bursts.
