CHALLENGES SHERIFF'S WORK WOOD SAYS OFFICER AND cITi- ZEN DEPUTIES MADE NO
 SEARCH FOR GAMING.
Asks Court Investigation, Which Will Be Readily Agreed to by Men
 Who Participated in Raids.

Yesterday J. B. Wood, reform lead CT and candidate for a district office. filed paper in circuit court object ing to the endorsement on the return of the burning orders for gaming par aphernalia made by Sheriff Houpt and the three citizen deputies who accom- panied him in the now famous auto raid. a
 The objection indicates that Mr. Wood is not satisfied that the off cers made proper search. in compli- ance with the orders, and asks that the circuit court investigate the cir cumstances.
 Circuit Judge Evans yesterday af. ternoon was shown a copy of the re- monstrance by Wood and asked about it.
 Berore there is anything to be done m the matter" replied Judge Evans. 'the paper filed by J. B. Wood will have 10 be given proper recognition In open court, when if it is shown that the court orders were not properly carried out. an investigation will 5e conducted through the hearing of tes. timony in the case"
 Sheriff Houpt was accompanied on the raid by Walter W. Little. Alder. man Frank Stearns and Sam Bumen- steil and they would be the witnesses with Slheriff Houpt to show that the order had been properly carried out
 Hundreds of other witnesses might be named who had accompanied the officers upstairs in various places they visited and who would vouch for the Statement that there was no gambling paraphernalia to be found. In most every place visited many curiosity seekers followed the officers on the tour of buildings as the doors were left open behind them. and no effort The paper filed by ]. B. Wood is made to keep the crowds back.

 The said return does not show fnal the said sheriff and his posse made search of the places named in said writ. for the gambling devices named in said writ, and this response says inst there are such gambling devices named in said writ in all the houses therein named. and same can be found If proper search he made therefor. Respondent therefore prays that the court investigate the matter in yolved in said writ, and the return thereon and that the sheriff be re- uired to execnte said writ in the man. ner as reured by law.

porations having a station in any village
or city in which a newspaper Is published
to publish in said newspaper or news
papers a proper table showing the time Of
arrival and departure Of all regular pas
senger trains at such station"
There is no doubt that the discontinue
ance Of the publication Of railway time
tables which followed the Hepburn
amendments to the Interstate Commerce
law geatly inconvenienced the public. It
made recourse to an official guide or
folder" necessary for what was former
ly ready at hand In the morning paper.
The question was a delicate one for the
press to discuss, I'm view of the inevitable
charge Of interested motives. As a matter
of fact. advertising of this description is
comparatively negligible item Of reve-
nue. TO most newspapers. The loss was
largely if not wholly offset by the gain
IN railroad display advertising.
The commissions recommendation will
be generally indorsed. The publication Of
railroad timetables in the press meets a
public want and should be resumed. The
ocean steamship lines have continued to
advertise their sailing days, though the
announcement appeals to relatively few
persons. The publication OF local and sub
urban timetables in metropolitan news
papers is obviously out Of the question,
but a return to the old practice as it.
affects express trains is clearly demanded.

SALE OF DEADLY WEAPONS.

II lie wanton shooting of a young man in
4 this city Sunday afternoon again calls at
tenton to a practice prevalent among a certain
class of people-that of carrying concealed dead
ly weapons. The shooting of the lad appears
TO have been an atrocious crime, which will be
properly dealt with by the authorities, but they
should 90 further than that They should en-
force more strictly the law against carrying these
deadly weapons and the penalty for such an Of
fense should be increased.
There seem to be no actual restrictions on the
sale of such weapons. They can be bought at
stores without restraint Some stores in the low
er part of the city have in their display windows
all sorts of deadly and dangerous weapons
weapons for which no man has need unless he is
bent on an evil purpose or unless he is in dam
ger of attack in rural outlying districts. There
arc pistols at these stores in profuson. Some
display brass knuckles, blackjacks and vicious
looking knives. And it is highly probable that
the trade in these weapons is large, for, judging
by the police reports, whenever certain classes
of people take the notion TO shoot or stabNthey
always have weapons at hand and are free TO
use them.
The killing Of young Kidd may be in a measure
laid at the door of our lax laws regulating the
use of deadly weapons. The first step, it seems
to us should be TO prevent the indscriminate
sale of pistols and knives, and it would not be
a bad idea to force the dealers in such weapons
to make returns of their sales to the authorities
giving the names of those who have purchased
the things

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

- HE suggestion of Mayor Spruance that two
u engineering departments OF municipal
bodies be combined with a competent engineer
at the head brings to focus an idea that has
long been held by many who have studied mu-
nicipa problems. AS it is each city department
has its engineers whose tenure of office is de-
pendent upon politics. AS a result the work can
not be effective as it should be, and much OF
the labor is lost.
The Mayor might go step further.
There should be one engineering department OF
the city to have charge of all the work in which
engineering skill is required. There should be
a competent engineer at the head of the depart
ment with trained assistants and politics should
not be considered in the selection of these men.
If it were necessary in order to allay objections,
the staff could be divided as to the political opn-
ions of the men employed.
Engineers and other technical men as a rule
are not politicians and care little for political
work To require that man in order 70 hold a
position as an engineer shall have political in
fuence or in fact any other kind of influence, ex-
cept that which he creates by his own skill and
attention to duty, is hampering the service.
Able men entering the vocation of engineer
ing not likely to seek places in a service
where their retention depends upon political
changes, and if we could have simply a business
engineering department with the employees not
disturbed so long as they proved to be efficient,
the city would have made an improvement in the
right direction.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

eW<HE Senate of Illinois, without dissenting

smaller cities of the State to discard mayors and
aldermen and elect instead commissioners to
manage their affairs. 1t is said that the measure
will be adopted by the lower house without de-
lay This situation is complete change from
that which confronted the advocates of the COM
mission form of government at the last session
of the Illinois Legislature when the same measure
was defeated.
All that the bill now under consideration does,
is to give the people an opportunity TO vote
whether they shall have a commission form OF
government. Some cities will take up the new
idea and Others will reject it, but one good ef-
feet Of the BILL if passed. will be to set people
