With Dime Spent for Drink He
Didn't Need Anyway He
Could Have Paid Fine.

Fined So for drunkenness, Marshall
Cook, a negro, of 237 Central avenue
wal sent to Jail for fifteen days from
the Second Precinct Court, today, de-
spite the fact that he had $4.90 in his
pocket.
Cooks record had as much, or more,
to do with his Imprisonment as the
fact that he was shy a dime, as he
was recognized as an old offender.

street yesterday when, suddenly, and
without apparent excuse, he tumbled
OFF the seat, landing on his knob. The
pavement on Orange street is hard and

THIS is MOVING TIME AT
LOCAL CUSTOMS HOUSE.
Office Force Hard at Work
Changing to New Quarters.

Moving day has come for the local
customs house, and until Monday next
Collector George L. Smiths men Will
be forced to work in a state bordering
on chaos. The alterations now being
made to the p~ostoffice building by Will
ian II. Fissell g. Co. are nearing COM
pletion on the third floor, the future
horne of the customs house, and part
of Deputy Collector Frederick Fried,s
office equipment has already been
taken out of his old Office on the second
floor.
The new suite of the customs house
comprises seven rooms on the western
side of the building. Collector Smiths
office is at the southwestern corner,
and attached to it is a s~tenographer's
office. Next comes Deputy Collector
Fried's room, followed by the general
room for the clerks. One of the great
est improvements is in the Cage or
examining room, where articles not
large enough to necessitate the use of
the large examining room in the cellar
are assessed. The new cage" will
have shelves placed on all walls, and
will be larger and lighter than the
former assessing room.

RAISE URGED FOR
PROSECUTORS DETECTIVES.
Weimer, Especially, Laud-
ed by Mr.. Mott.

Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott appeared
before the finance COMMITTEES of the
Board of Freeholders and urged an IN
crease of salaries for the members of
his staff of detectives. He declared the
men are not allowed travelling expenses
and thai the item amounted to 500 a
| year.
'There isn't a more faithful lot of
men in the employ of the county than
my detectives said the prosecutor.
| eff you grant the increase l ask for 1t
| will only mean an additional expense
| of 81, 500, and / think my men are worth
| that much more to the county. Until a
| year ago they had street car passes;
now they, pay this out of their own
rockets, besides meals and other Incl
dental expenses.
Detectives of the police department
Iput in an expense bill and have passes
| ask that Chief Weimer's salary be
raised from $1,S00 to $2,100; the two
sergeants, who are getting $1,65O. re-
ceive 81, 800, and the rest of the; detec-
tives, who are getting $1,000, be given

frey are willing to be placed on the
same scale. They do the same amount
of work and there is no difference.
"I want to say that there isn't a more

than Chief weimer. He works day anc
night and Sundays, as well as weei
days. If we should lose him, | believe
we would have to get two men to TAX

In conducting the campaign, the
company figures that with better ia

business, which will mean additional
benefit to the railroads.
In planning the campaign the COM
pany has taken into consideration the
fact that farmers are unable to deliver
their crops and produce to the sta
tons in bad weather owing to the inn
passable condition of the roads, and
that they do not purchase goods which
they would buy if the roads were such
that the implements and other freight
could be handled readily over the high

Indiana Congressman Is Re-
ceiving Letters From
All Over Country.
BILL FOR THE VETERANS

SOLDIERS A DOLLAR PER DAY.
HOOSiER ITEMS.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Representa-
tive Crumpacker, of the Tenth Indiana
district is receiving letters from all
over the country, but particularly from
his own state, urging him to be can
didate for speaker OF the house to sue
coed Mr.. Cannon. Mr.. Crumpacker is
making no statement in reference to
the matter, but is permitting things
to drift. 1t is believed here in Wash
ington that the congressman from the
Tenth district is not averse to getting
by his friends that he is not a radical
man on either side of the present con-
troversy in the house over the faction
al troubles surrounding Speaker Can
non.
1t is welLknown that Mr.. Crumpack-
err has ideas of his own about modify
ing the rules that govern the house.
but he is not a radical insurgent. He is
looked on as man having convictions
on the standpatters or insurgents, and
his friends are telling him that he
could expect to draw support from both
Sides
1t is pointed out that as chairman of
the committee on the census Mr..
Crumpacker would exercise great pow
er in the congressional reapportion-
ment that always follows the taking of
the decennial census. On this account
he will have great influence with the
members of the house, and it is
thought that many of them would
line up for him for the speakership on
this account.

Why does Great Britain buy
its oatmeal of uSP

Certainly it seems like Carving
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally Of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods of
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How we'll he has succeeded would
be seen at glance at the export re-
ports on Quaker Oats. This brand is
without a rival; is packed in regular
1Oc packages, and in Theoretically seal
ed tins for hot climates. 81

years the high school pupils have been
thoroughly drilled in the art of debate
and can hold up their side of the ar
gument on almost any question.
A challenge will probably be issued
to the new debating team of Earlham.

bated but is perfectly willing to take

while few of the old guard are still
standing around the camp fires of life,
patiently awaiting the fulfillmens of
the promises often made to them by
the government, and by doing this we
will be but fulfilling the promise of a
grateful nation. l do not believe it is
wise entirely to abandon soldiers
homes. because l believe they should
be kept and maintained for emergency

be far better to give each soldier 81 a

not sufficient to keep himself, and

THE CITY DID RIGHT.

The News does not in the slightest
regret that the city council by unan-
imcus vote, failed to pass for payment
the bill of the Georgia Engineering
company for the job of pavement work
on Newcastle street. This bill has
been under consideration in the hands
of the public works committee of coun-
elk for several weeks and the commit
tee has endeavored in every reason
able manner to cause the contractors
to remedy the defects complained OF
in the work, which seems to be JUS
tilted by those who are in position to
know. We have it from the chairman
of this committee that no compromise
was asked for or was desired by the
city. All that is wanted is that the
work be turned over strictly in ac-
cordance with the contract and the
specifications, and the bill will be paid
without any more auo.
The News is jealous of the credit
and good reputation of the city of
Brunswick as any other citizen within
her confines, and it woul avoid liti-
CATION as long as possible. But, on
the other hand, those charged with
the administration of affairs in the
city. who receive their commissions
from the people, are charged with a
serious responsibility, which they
. cannot shift to other shoulders. They
must see to it that the municipality
receives one hundred cents for every
dollar of the public fund expended.
Theirs is a public trust, than which
bthere is no more sacred mission, and
kthey would not be justifiable in pay
ling this bill if in their honest opin-
lions the work has not been done up
l to the provisions of the contract or if
\ the material used was below that
4
| called for in the specifications.
AS we have stated from time to
time. we regret that the circumstance
in question has arisen; we would have
preferred an amicable adjustment OF
| the differences, to the utmost salts
faction of both contracting parties,
but we would not for an instant pay
this bill if in so doing the city is
forced to pay first-class prices for ar
inferior piece of work. Let's keep out
of the courthouse if we can, but il
we must go there, let's go with justice
on the side Of the city.
