Thomas Page. president of the Page
Milling company, who was appointed
a member of the drainage board at
the last meeting of the board to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
J. B. Billiard, has formally withdrawn
his membership. Mr.. Page, in his no.
tice of withdrawal. thanked the board
for the appointment. but stated that
circumstances which he did not care to
state prevented his accepting it.
This action will prevent his becom-
ing again president of the board. 1t
was thought that at the next meeting
ofsthc body he1would be formally elect
ed to that office. This is now filled by
George Young, formerly vice president,
in place of Mr.. Billiard. The latter felt
that his duties of mayor would inter
fere with those of his other position
and so resigned. The law provides
that such vacancies may be filled by
action of the board
Mr.. Billiard was elected to that office
two wears ago, defeating Mr.. Page, who
had held that office for two years pre-
Vious. However. Mr.. Page this morn

TWELVE Let OUT.
Collector Loeb Is Keeping Vigilant
watch Over Customs Service.

New York, May 10.-That Collector
Loeb's vigilant watch over the customs
service here has not relaxed was evil
dent today when the announcements
came of twelve additional suspensions
as a result of fresh Investigations. Nine
of the suspended men are inspectors.
All twelve were formerly engaged in
weighing importations of sugar, figs
and cheese. These suspensions, 1t is
announced, are the first result of a
general investigation being made by
Winfred T. Dennison, assistant United
States attorney general, and his force
of secret service men from the depart
ment of justice.
The blow fell without the least warn
ing. There was much excitement
among the four hundred men employ
ed in that branch of the service when
the suspensions were announced. Some
of the men affected were supposed to
have good records, and it was given
out that further inquiry might result
in the reinstatement of some of them
Every branch of the government
in the port is under inves
tigation and other suspensions are ex-
pected.

HE FEARED 'THEGANG'
Frightened by Threats Made by
Young Men.
An Organization to Keep en-

Fearing to leave the home of his
sweetheart, 1876 Grattan street. a
young man whose name was not
learned by the police, teIephoned to
the police station last night for an
escort up town. Detectives Sauls and
Ross and Patrolman Wonderly were
sent to his rescue and the frightened
youth was escorted to Jefferson street,
where he left the car saying that he
would call at the police station today
with treats for the officers
1t was IL o'clock when the call
came into the police station that a
youth would be compelled to scan
at the home of his sweetheart all
night unless the police would send him
an escort which would guarantee him
a safe passage back to Topeka. 1t
had been quiet night with the police
and the men were anxious to go.
local police to get some of the gang"
in jail for past misdeeds and the three
officers took the cars.
Arriving at the Weaver residence,
the officers sought for evidence of a
contemplated attack on part of the
gang but they found none. Inside
the Weaver house, however, they
found a young man, tightly clasping a
violin in his arms and afraid to leave
the house for fear the gang" would
get him. On the return trip por-
ton of the gang was seen on the
street, but they made no show of at
tack.
According to the badly frightened
youth, who still refused to give his
name, he had accompanied his sweet
heart to Oakland from an uptown
trip. While they were on the car boys
who knew that he called regularly at
the Weaver home and were acquaint-
ed with the girl, told him that they
would "get' him when he started
home. The most vile and obscene Ian
youth thought of the remarks made by
the Oaklanders the more he thought
the remarks were not made in idle
Jest. Prophecies made on the street
car, he thought, would come true.
Hence the call for the police and the
guard of honor on his return trip
This gang bids fair to rival the old
East side gang. Strangers in Oakland
are quickly chased in case there is an
Oakland girl in the case. The boys in
Oakland do not have great deal of
luck with the girls residing in To-
fellows from uptown. And the boys,
unable to understand why a girl should
fall in love with a stranger at first
sight and at the same time dislike the

Many a Topeka youth has gone to
work Monday morning adorned with
frescoing about the nose and eyes as
result of calling upon his lady fair in
Oakland on Sunday.
Ordinarily these fellows do not re-
port the cases to the police. They
take their beating, quit the girl or
get a club. Monday a young man made
application to Under Sheriff Bayless
for permission to carry revolver. He
said he called regularly upon an Oak
land girl or rather as regularly as he
thought he could escape the gang"
Bayless would not give him the per-
NIT, fearing that it would result in a
shooting.

amount offered is $4,000 less than
last year, but is in accordance with a
rule adopted at the last meeting of

2:13 pace and 2:15 trot, $4,000 each.

Just now the Walls of wrath are being

The accusation against cold storage
now is that It permits the spectators
to withhold supplies and maintain a
fictitious price on foodstuffs. If this be
the case, the fault is with the applica-
ton and not the method. Cold stor-
age has unquestionably been per-
verted from its benefcent uses, and to
that extent should be subjected to
remedial regulation. Inquiry is now
under way in Chicago and at other
centers whereby the fact will be de-
veloped how far the perversion of the
purpose OF cold storage is chargeable
for the excessive prices exacted for
food. Disclosure Of the fact will doubt

Pinchot staYs IN Harnes,.

The succession Of clifford Pinchot to
the position occupied by Charles w.
Eliot as head OF the national organiza-
ton to promote the conservation move
ment assures the public hat notwtth-
standing his displacement from the
head OF the forestry service, Mr.. Pin
chot will remain in the harness. Mr..
Pinchot's enthusiastic devotion to the
cause of conserving our natural re-
sources makes it certain that the work
of directing this organization will COM
mand his best talents and that It will
be made a positive force for the accom-
plishment Of its objects.
1t goes without saying that the field
for conservation propaganda by an or
ganization of private individuals goes
far beyond the limits of action of the
federal government. There are at
least three elements to be co-ordinated.
First, the federal government whose
Jurisdiction extends over the public do
main and %navigable waters; second,
the state governments who are SUI,
preme in the regulation and control of
natural wholly within state
lines; and, third, the personal and cor
porate holders of forests and mineral
lands, power sites, phosphate deposits,
etc, who are most tempted to wasteful
and %imprudent. uses. To make the
movement for conservation really com
prehensive 1t may have to reach out
still further M attain an international
scope under mutual agreements for the
combined action of other governments
beside our own.
This indicates that there is ample
room for Mr. Pinchot's activity outside
of government service, although much
of the actual work for which his or
ganization is ~contending will have to
be done through government agencies.
The appointment of one of Mr.. Pin
chct's former associates and closest
friends to the office of chief forester,
which he has vacated. and the out
spoken advocacy of the Roosevelt con-
serYation poIlcles Dy PRESIDENT IaIJ
may be taken to insure a response by
the federal government to the full ex-
tent that the legislation enacted by
congress permits. The nub of the con
~servation question at this present mo
ment really rests with congress-, whose
inaction has constituted the chief OBJ
stacles to the forward march. The
first duty devolving on Mr.. Pinchot
and his associates is to help prevail
upon congress to pass the laws which
he recommended as chief forester and
the demand for which President Taft
has reiterated, and to this end he and
the administration will be pulling on
the same rope.

Healthfnl Omaha.

The letter printed in The Bee with
reference to the groundlessness of any
alarm about typhoid fever in Omaha is
timely. While Omaha, no more than
any other city of its size and con-
glomerate population, can claim COM
plete freedom from typhoid at n
time, our best medical practitioners all
agree that typhoid is little, IL n
more. prevalent here now than it is
regularly at this season Of the year,
and that there is no reason whatever
to attribute 1t to contaminated water
supply, as certain sensational yellows
would have us believe. The city bac-
teriologist goes even further when he
says that many cases reported as ty-
phoid prove not to be typhoid when
subjected to the scientific test, and that
physicians are frequently misled into
diagnosing fever cases as typhoid when
talk is rife that typhoid is epidemic.
There are many sanitary precautions
which people should at all times take
to prevent communication of disease
through food and drink. But there is
no more urgency for such precautions
now than there has been year after
year. When the comparative records
come to be made up they will disclose
that in point Of general health Omaha
steadfastly holds its rank near the top
Of the list with the most salubrious Of
American cities.
