Beauregard F. Moseley is so well
known throughout Chicago that he
needs no introduction to the thousands
of readers of The Broad Ak; he came
into this world in the State of Georgia.
He received his education in the pub
lie schools of his native State, where
he afterwards taught school. After
severing his connection with the schools
he entered politics, holding several posi-
tons of trust under the national gov
eminent at New Orleans, La
In the course of time he decided to
cast his lot in the northern section of
the country. and he removed with his
family to Montreal, Canada, but it was
too cold that far north for his warm
Southern blood and early in the oo's he
came to this city to reside.
Soon after settling in Chicago he en-
gagged in the newspaper business and for
several years he very successfully ran

Police Commission Reads Riot
Act to SIeuth Dixon

By signing the pledge and filing it
with Mayor Alexander, Hugh Dixon
will retain his position as detective in
the police department. These were
the conditions meted out to him by
the commission last night after hear
ing charges preferred by DR.. T. w.
Bishop.
DR.. Bishop accused Dixon of intoxi-
cation, and while no evidence produced
showed that Dixon had been drunk at
any specific time he himself confessed
that he drank steadily. 1t was his
honest confession and his willingness
to make amends that saved his job.
The hearing incidentally brought a
reprimand to Captain Paul Flammer
of the detective department. Flam-
mer admitted that he knew Dixon
drank and was sharply criticised by
Commissioners Wellhorn and Topham
for failing to report the matter to the
police commission.
"There is widespread belief that
you do not enforce the rule against
drinking in your department, said
Commissioner Wellborn.
Several detectives were called as
witnesses, but not one of them could
be induced to say a word against
Dixon or admit as much as he had
confessed. The commissioners nearly
lost their tempers over the reluctant
testimony of some of these witnesses.

CITY To PAY EIGHTH OF
FANCY LIGHTING COST
City Electricians Report Shows
Expense Is Eight Times
That of Old Arcs

Snatching at compromise suggested
yesterday by w. J. Washburn, the
city council voted to pay one-eighth of
the cost of the ornamental lighting
system in the city, the property owners
to pay the other seven-eighths.
While Mr.. Washburn was in the
east the subject of how much the city
should pay toward these ornamental
systems was under discussion almost
daily. The council was evenly divided.
Three members wanted to pay one
fourth of the cost of lighting Main,
Spring, Broadway, Hill, Seventh and
Pico streets and three members want
ed to pay one-half the cost of lighting
the four principal business streets.
Washburn's one-eighth is based on
figures submitted yesterday by City
Electrician Manahan. These figures
showed that by the plan that has been
in operation of the city paying one
half the cost of the ornamental lighting
1t was costing the city about eight
times as much for these ornamental
lighting systems as 1t was under the
arc light plan. Washburn believed 1t
would be only fair for the city to pay
the cost of the arc lights, and as the
ornamental lights are in the nature of
a luxury for the property owners to
pay the rest.
This plan will be used on every street
that hereafter asks for ornamental
lights. The money saved to the city
will be spent in providing arc lights in
the dark districts of the city.
