The city has big. new safe. As
matters stood for a while yesterday
afternoon. 1t looked as
HARD If the city would b,
HAUL compelled TO build a big
new city hall To con-
tain the aforesaid safe. The future
repository of the city's books and
records was hauled To the side entrance
OF the city hall In the afternoon and
preparations were made to get il into
the building. There We're many dit
ficulties encountered and when the
shades of night fell. the big steel
strong box lay upon its side ut the
foot of the city hall stairs The side
door of the building had been taken
off. its frame had been removed. a
hole had been cut i'm the brick wall
big enough to admit the safe. and
skids had been constructed upon
which To slide the heavy thing up TO
the clerks office. But when the
whistle blew last night. there had not
been much sliding. The prospects
were good. however. for an elevation
this morning. When the safe was un-
loaded from the truck upon which il
had been hauled. it was found that
the city han portal was not wide
enough to admit the steel box This
was overcome as stated
Then the skidway was built and tackle
was strung to hoist away in the es-
fort 10 get the safe to the second
story. The tackle was anchored to
the door of the firemen's sleeping
room and there Was one strong heave
given when il Was discovered that. in
stead of the safe going up. the wall Of
the room was coming down: another
pull would have dragged the entire
partition from its setting. II was
evident to the veriest tyrc in the
throng of advisory counsel that
swarmed about the work. that some
other arrangements would have to be
made. There was an extended council
of war as to what those other ar
should be. The chief of

ALIMONY AND DIVORCE.

Now comes New York woman who
Is sure to be charged with "woman's
inhumanity for woman" protesting to
be shocked at the multiplicity of d.
vorces and proposing remedy in the
total abolition of alimony, says Omaha
Bee. She conceives the prospect of
alfmony to be the chief cause OF di-
vorces granted to women and de-
nounces the system as nothing but
simple graft Undoubtedly many de-
signing women can consistently take
no exceptions to these charges, and
It Is not to be questioned that some
unscrupulous lawyers will cooperate
with women for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning financial emolument through
the operation of the divorce courts,
but that alimony, or the desire to OBJ
tain alimOny, constitutes the prevail
ing cause and purpose of women
seeking legal separations from their
husbands, it is hard TO believe, any
more than it would be wise, safe or
Just to do away with the law provid-
ing for alimony. Society has come
to recognize that there is such thing
as jusdfiable divorce, and there is
certainly such a thing as a woman
needing and deserving support from
the man from whom she seeks and OBJ
tains divorce, and to abolish alimony
would work hardship on many women
and children. alike blameless for the
causes as well as the fact of the sep
aration.

WILL SEE NO DIVIDING LINE.
Henceforth Insurgents and Regulars
Will Look Alike to President Taft

Beverly, Mass. President Taft
has determined that all hostility
toward insurgency at the White House
shall cease and that hereafter the
'insurgent" leaders in congress and
elsewhere will be accorded the same
treatment as the regulars" espe-
cially in the matter of federal pat
ronage.
The presidents views to this effect
are given in letter from Secretary
Norton to a Republican leader of
Iowa, whose name is not disclosed.
Ia the letter Secretary Norton
stated that while important Republic
an legislation pending in congress
was opposed by certain Republican
leaders, the president felt that his
duty required him to withhold federal
patronage from senators and repre-
sentatives who seemed to occupy a
position hostile to efforts to fulfill
the pledges of the party platform.
That attitude on the part of the
president ended, however, with the
more recent primary elections anG
nominating conventions to which The
people have declared themselves. and
the president now looks upon PRO
gressives" and Regulars" alike as
Republicans and as such entitled to
his support and the support of the
party, and the fall elections, Secre-
tary Norton's letter says, must set
tie the question whether the differ
ences of the last session of congress
shall be perpetuated or forgotten.

PROOFS ARE BURNED.
Witnesses Admit Doing Away With
Books Wanted In Inquiry.

New York. Louis F. Goodsell,
former state senator from Orange
county, and H. S. Beardsley, secretary
and treasurer of the Street Railways
association of the state of New York,
both testified before the legislative
committee investigating the activities
OF the Street Railways association at
Albany during the assembly sessions
of 1908 and 1909, that they themselves
burned their individual books, private
accounts and vouchers, which were
wanted by the committee to show that
business relations existed between the
two men. Louis F. Bedell, former as
semblyman from Orange county, had
testified at a previous hearing of the
committee that his books and accounts
had been destroyed In a hotel fire.
The cumulative effect of the testi-
mony OF Messrs. Coodsell and Boards
ley produced a sensation. Mr.. Good
sell caused another one when, In de-
Tending his bill granting sweeping
privileges to the New York Transpor-
tation company, he declared that Col

Cunningham in 1903, advising him

Congressman Foss in the Tenth dis
trict pulled through by a hairs
breadth. Almost as many votes were
cast against him as for him.
Congressman Mann won renomina-

against him also as for him.
Congressman Wilson in the Third
district, the. only illinois representa-

Col. Ira Copley, the aggressive Re
publican insurgent in the district now
represented by Congressman Snapp,
defeated George w. Conn, Jr.. by a
plurality of 46S votes.
In other districts outside of Chicago
the progressive upheaval in the Re-
publican party left traces of far trav-
cling ground waves. Speaker Cannon
himself was renominated by greatly
reduced plurality. In the Lowden dis.

HELD FOR BIG THEFT.
George w. Fitzgerald Arrested In
Chicago for Alleged Embezzlement.

ShfSoSo ioI HhC9Cu CfIpC<<iCnnCHI
Chicago. The federal grand
jury has again indicted George
w. Fitzgerald, who was formerly as
sorting teller at the United States sub
treasury in this city. on the charge of
embezzling $4,000 from the govern
ment
Fitzgerald was arrested in his Office
at 159 La Sale street by the federal
authorities.
Upon being taken into Marshal
Hoy's office the prisoner protested
strenuously and when the marshals at
tempted to search his clothing he
fought fiercely. The marshals found
it necessary to handcuff him.
Despite the handouts, Fitzgerald
swung his arms about and fought
furiously whenever the marshals went
near him. Finally he was placed on
the floor. He continued to fight, how
ever. and Knocked Deputy Marshal
Wainwright to the floor
All the marshals found was As
cents in change, several checks and
some Otner papers.
Fitzgerald is said to have been
trapped by story given out some
time ago that the statute of limitations
interviewed and that whoever commit
ted the theft was immune from prose-
cuion. This story is declared to have
been circulated for the express pur-
pose of misleading Fitzgerald.
William Boldenweck, under whom
Fitzgerald served, sent his resigna-
ton as subtreasurer to President Taft
September s. He is to leave office
September II and to be succeeded by
Len Small of Kankakee. He denied
that his resignation had anything to
do with the disappearance of the
$4,000.
Fitzgerald was under suspicion at
the time the $4,000 disappeared
from his custody, February 20, 1907
He was at that time handling large
amounts of government funds. Late
on the day OF the shortage he was d.
rected to turn his cash over to another
man, and few minutes thereafter he
announced to the cashier of the SUBJ
treasury that he was short $4,000.
A vigorous search was made for the
money and all the funds in the SUBJ
treasury were counted by experts and
the books were checked up, but all to
no avail.

Burlington and Rock Island Trains
Collide Near Holt, Mo.
COME TOGETHER ON TRESTLE
Smoker Full of Passengers Goes into

Holt, Mo. - II. l.. Howard, a
brakeman, was killed and nineteen
persons injured in a head-on COLI
sion between Burlington and Rock
Island passenger trains one mile
north of here.
The accident occurred on a sharp
down grade near a bridge, the ap-
proach of which was cut off Jy a
high embankment which prevented
the engineers from seeing the danger
until their trains were almost to-
gether. The engine crews saved
themselves by jumping. although all
were more or less badly injured.
The trains crashed together on a
high trestle over a small creek and
the compact was so great that the
burlington train, much smaller than
the Rock Island, was driven off the
bridge and back probably 100 yards
before the smoker went into the ditch
with its car full of passengers. The
baggage car and smoker were entire
ly demolished.
Not one person on the Rock Island
train was injured, though the engine
was badly damaged. All the seriously
injured are Burlington employees.

There is to be q joint investigation
between the two roads to find who
is to blame for the wreck. 1t is said
the original orders were for the Bur-
Hngton local to meet the Rock Island
at Holt, but it is supposed that later
the orders were changed so as to give
the Burlington local right Of way into
Lathrop. The Rock Island conductor
had the original orders to meet the
Burlington at Holt. The train was
80 minutes late and the engineer was
trying to make up time when the two
trains met.

Has everybody forgotten Halley's

Has everybody forgotten Halley's
comet? There was a reaction after
the trepidation and intense curiosity
aroused by its approach, and now. in
stead of piling out of bed at unearth-
iy hours of the early morning in the
hope OF getting a glimpse of it, there
are many who would not, for the prom
ise of a good square look at the won
derer, take the trouble of walking
across the street. They have seen it
once, and so far as they are con-
cerned. it is an old story. Halieys
come is not beyond viewing dis
lance from the earth; yet 1t cannot
be seen. The reason of its invisi-
bility is its nearness to the sun. 1t

twilight is strong enough to hide it
with a veil of light. At the end of
the month 1t will set before sunset.
