CRUSADE ~ ONLY STARTED.

Chicago. Sept. 25.-The conviction
of Police Inspector Edward Mccain
of having accepted money from re-
sort keepers startled the entire city
and causea CONSERVATION in the po-
lice department and among friends of
Mccain.
The under world. as we'll as city
officials. Is panlc-stricken, as States
Attorney Wayman declares that the
result of the Mccain trial is only the
beginning.
Now IL IS safe to say that detec-
tlyes from the states attorneys Offices
working Independently of the city po-
lice department, are securing every
section OF the city.
Wayman declares that he has con-
yincing proof that will implieate
many men higher up" II Is adj

gagged only in preliminary skirmish-
Wayman openly charges that de-
tectlyes from his department are be-
ing hampered by the central Office
force from the city hall. He declares
that several of his sleuths have been
threatened with arrest and that their
actions have been clipped on"
That Mr.. wayman has thrown con-

with the human interest of the play,
appeals to all classes-high and low
young and old, city folk and
country folk. II is a plain story of
plain people set before them. The

time when with stone-brulsed feet.
he chased the butterfly through the
meadow. Withal the story of the
play points to a moral that is appli-
cable to all mankind. This moral
is not hung out like slgn-post but
is unconsc.ously absorbed. Way
Down East" is a clean play and n
wholesome one. The clergy has
not hesitated to endorse IL. IL Is a
drama full OF what is termed heart
interest. Its story OF wrong to a
young and trusting woman and the
retribution which overtakes the man
who betrays her by false marriage,
is one to stir the blood and thrill

Three Arches of Steel and Concrete
Structure Collapse.

Peoria, ILL.,. May Three arches of
a new concrete and steel wagon bridge
recently opened for traffic fell into the
Illinois here this morning. No one was
on the bridge at the time and conse-
quently there was no loss of life The
bridge cost $150000:
Bridge Superintendent Finley. who
witnessed the collapse of the structure.
said:
The first arch from the draw on the
east side of the big channel pie- rose
into the air and crashed into the river.
There was creaking and splintering
sound OF steel. as the ribs of the arch
snapped off like matchwood. The arch
raised a fearful height into the air
and then toppled over One after an
other of the arches took the same
course just like cards standing on end
and pushed over"

SHUBERTS DEFIANT.
They Don't Care What the Theatrical
Combination Does.

New York, May The Shuberts
today defied the combined forces of
Kiaw and Erlanger, David BeIasco
and Harrison Grey Fiske in the in
teresting fight which is promised for
the theatrical business next season.
Regarding the agreement which
Belasco and Fiske reached with KIaw
and Erlanger, Lee Shubert had this
to say: (
Whatever Belasco, F'iske and KIaw
and Erlanger may do does not affect
me. The matter is absolutely in
different to us. The Shuberts are
strong enough to go it alone without
any assistance from any one and we
certainly are going to do it. This
move on the part of the syndicate
could not have found US better pre-
pared. With our New York theaters
and the ones we control throughout
the country, we will be able to book
our own attractions without the least
difficulty.
"Our main strength. however, lies
in the large number of attractions and
stars we control. These are the key
to the situation and the managers OF
the one night stand theaters through
out the country use our attractions
| or close their theaters. I admit that
| the move was complete surprise tc
me, but I repeat that it will not have
| the least effect on any of our plans"

MAY BECOMES CASH.
Two Million Bushels of Wheat De-
Iivered to Patten.

Chicago. May This was delivery
day on the board of trade and the May
option which was the medium of the
recent bull campaign led by James A.
Patten, became cash wheat.
On May contracts today two million
bushels of wheat were delivered, prac-
tically all of it to Bartlett. Patten &:
Co.
Brokers have hazarded a guess that
Mr. Patten paid an average of S1.Os
Tor his May wheat. Assuming this fig
ure to be approximately correct, MIR.
Patten might have sold the wheat de-
liVered him this morning at Slip for
delivery in July. which would show a
profit of four cents a bushel May
wheat. however, opened today at $1.241a
TO a and good demand for actual
wheat would enable the bull leader tic
sell at a much greater profit
While May 1 is commonly known as
delivery day, sellers have until the
end of the month to turn over the
wheat which they have held. Formerly
only No. red winter wheat could be
delivered on future contracts but under
a new rule of the board made two years
ago No 2 spring wheat was made stand
ard. A large quantity of this latter, il
is expected will find its way down from
the head of the lakes, when navigation
opens, thus swelling the amount in the
Patten elevators.
No. red wheat is selling at S141% te
Sl.44%, and No. spring at $1.26.

Saves the New Hampshire From Going
on the Rocks.

New York. May 1.-The flashing of
the &C. Q. B." message prevented the
steamer New Hampshire. bound for
Stonington, Conn. from going on the
rocks of Long Island sound. When
the New Hampshire's propeller struck
a log and broke off a blade the vessel
became hopeless and there was con-
siderable excitement among the 100
passengers.
BY order of Captain F. H Avery, the
wireless operator sent a &c. Q. D"
message for quick help. The message
was picked up at the Brooklyn navy
yard and from there the communica-
tion was sent to Oak Point, off which
the New Hampshire reported itself as
helpless. From there two transfer
boats of the New Haven railroad were
sent to the steamers assistance. The
two relief boats quickly picked up the
New Hampshire and towed it into it's
pier at New York.
After the first shock of the accident
order was restored among the passen-
gers and when the New Hampshire
reached its dock they retired to their
staterooms. where they remained until
they were transferred to another steam
or for Stonington-

COST OF WAR
Is Placed at Fifteen Billion Lives Since
Beginning Of History.

Chicago, May Amazing statistics
will be presented to the National
Peace congress, which convenes here
Monday, by Benjamin F. Trueolood'
secretary of the American Peace So
ciety. In a report compiled for dis
tribution among the delegates, 1t IS
asserted that fifteen billion persons
have sacrificed their lives in wars since
the beginning of authentic history.
'sThis vast number of Victims, says
Mr.. TruebIood. ais about equal to all
the people who have Inhabited the
globe for the last six hundred years,
allowing three generations to the cen,
fury. and $50 million, the estimated
population of the world at the open
ing of the nineteenth century as the
average population per generation
''The usual estimate of the number
of men lost in war in the nineteenth
century, including those who died OF
wounds and disease. places it at
14.OOOOOO of this number the Ma
poleonic campaigns are responsible for
about six millions. Losses IN the
American Civil war have been various
ly estimated at from 100000 to one
million men. The brief war between
Prussia, Austria and Italy in 1856 en-
tailed a loss of $4,000 men"
Mr.. Trueblood also gives figures
governing the cost of war from
financial standpoint.
'The figures he said. ''are stag
gering and probably would be more so
IL they could be fully obtained. Only
approximate correctness is claimed inr
the following statements:
1.-The Napoleonic campaigns. cover
ing 10 years. cost 15 billion; the Brit
ish-American war, 1S12-14, 300 mil
lion; the Crimean war. 1854 to 1856
1865 900. 900; American Civil war,
Is billion and the Prussian-Austrian
war of 1866, 325 million
The national debts of the world
powers, Mr.. Trueblood estimates at
400.
''The significance of this vast sum-
the interest on which is, over one bill
lion dollars a year" he Gays. is that
practically the whole is chargeable TO
war and militarism."
