Bette pinned the bright turban upon
her floating hair, but was wholly I'M

very decidedly over one eye.
Then, slipping into the tan raincoat,
she hurried once more into the cool,
fresh air and stood with hands thrust
deep into her pockets at the entrance

the appearance of a green car.
She had turned to watch the boy

He wore n long checked ulster, and
his red hair curled about the back Of

A sudden fear seized Bette as she
remembered the newspaper tales OF
that locality and her brothers warn
ing.
If only she had waited for Mrs.

her-robber.
"Going in2" the man asked, with a
nod toward the glittering sign.
Bette stared. to all appearances
quite deaf and dumb.

This, added to the discomfort OF the
afternoon, was too much for Bettie's

DEATH IN WAKE OF
A TRAIN IN OHIO
Kills Man and Woman Walking on
Track and Then Strikes Auto
With Fatal Result.

Mansfield, Ohio, Jan. 31.-Pennsyl-
vania train No. 8, west bound. yester-
day struck and killed Mrs. Roy Covert
and fatally injured her husband at a
crossing near Londonville. Proceeding
further. the train struck an automobile
on the outskirts of Crestline, few
miles away, and killed J. H. Sigler,
aged GO, and Charles Echelberger, both
of Hayesville.
IN the automobile with Echelbergcr
and Sigler was Curtiss Doerrer Of
Mansfield. Doerrer's shoulder was
crushed, his leg was broken and he
received internal injuries.
The young woman who was the first
to meet death on the track was on
her way with her husband to visit a
neighbor Her death as instantaneous.
Covert was picked up many yards
away and has not been told of his
wifeS death.
The automobile party, struck at
Lea's crossing, came upon the tracks
in their machine from the rear of an
east bound freight, directly in front of
the expires.
In an instant their machine was
lifted high in the air. When it fell
Sig1er and Echelberger were dead.
Their bodies were brought to Mans
field. Doerrer, the injured man, was
taken to a Crestline hospital.

Compare Them.

When the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry
opened in Washington last week, and
when Louis r. CLAWS, the chief &C
cuser, was placed upon the stand, the
latter's special attorney summed up
ing the charges as follows:
THAT Ballinger, as commissioner Of
the land office in 1907 did not show
due diligence in Investigating the al
legged frauds in connection with the
Cunningham coal land claims. in
Alaska; that he had knowledge Of the
circumstances surrounding these claims
and in spite Of this entered the en-
pIoy of one of the claimants after
leaving the land Office and before be-
coming secretary Of the interior; that
he ordered these claims to be clear
listed for patent without due investi-
CATION and that they would have gone
patent if CLAWS and others had not
interviewed"
The only charge that has been made
against Pinchot was that he was per
niciously active" in defense of the in
terests of the people. He is charged
with having been too aggressive in
doing his duty, For this aggressive
ness he was charged with the offence
of characterization" and removed
from Office.
A comparison of this charge and
those which have made this congress
sional inquiry necessary against Bal
linger is interesting.
Sentiment throughout the country in
favor of Pinchot and against Balling
ger is developing more and more every
day because of the obvious fact that
the president had far more reason to
remove Ballinger than he did to re-
move Pinchot.

White Slave Traffic.

The white slave bill has passed the
national house.
Legislation against the outrageous
traffic in girls is needed. The special
report relative to this traffic and which
was recently submitted to congress is
shocking beyond expression. The de-
tails of the report were unprintable.
Only a limited number of copies of the
report were sent out, and they were
distributed with caution, it being the
purpose of those interested in sup
pressing the evil to place them only in
the hands of those whom they thought
might be reused to keener interest in
suppression Of the vice by perusal Of
the facts which are almost beyond
belief.
The white slave" traffic is one Of
the horrors of modern times. Those
bestial characters who are engaged In
this traffic are more like harpies than
human beings.
The senate should unhesitatingly and
by unanimous vote also pass this
white slave" bill. and If fits rigid en-
forcement does not prove effective in
minimizing the evil, more rigid laws
should be enacted.
The government should go after the
enemy of the national morals with the
same force and determination it would
meet an enemy in time Of war.
The invading army of white slave"
treders is more dangerous than the
Invading army of foreign foe would
be. Their wrecking of human life con-
Germs not only this generation. but pos
terity. These hends at whom this leg
Is1ation is aimed strike blow at the
moral foundation OF the nation. The
maintenance and security of the NOR
ais of the country are more vital to
health and permanence of the United

PEORIANS SEE JOKER
IN COMMISSION BILL
Charge Speaker Shurtleff With Try
ing to InValidate the
Act.

Peoria, Jan. 31.-On the eve of the
passage Of the commission form Of
government bill the zeal of Speaker
Shurtleff and his insistence on a cou-
pie of seemingly unimportant amend
ments have struck CONSERVATION among
the Peoria workers for the new plan.
AS result a delegation went today TO
Springfield to protest to the speaker
and to convey in polite language Peo-
ria'S unalterable opposition to the
amendments-at least to one of them.
The mischievous clause which the
speaker would muster in the bill pro-
vides that in case of the adoption of
the commission form in any city the
existing order OF government shall
cease in go days and the officials under
1t shall retire. This is coupled with
an emergency clause which makes the
bill effective on passage instead of on
July l. Added TO these two clauses is
a provision making a petition of one
tenth the total vote sufficient to call an
election.
The Peoria committee held meet
ing with representatives of the city
administration and canvassed the pos
sibilities OF the act. It was soon seen
that Immediately on the signing of the
bill it would be possible for less than
1000 citizens to call an election which
must be ordered by the county judge
on their petition. If the commission
form prevails the present administra-
ton, instead of holding until the end
of it's term, as provided by the I'M
amended bill, would be thrown out be-
fore July.
Another undesirable provision, in
view of the amendment, is the fact
that commission officers, instead Of
holding office for four years, will hold
Office only until April, 1911, after which
the four-year term is adopted In all
probability a new primary law will be
adopted which will compel commission
candidates to go through a primary
run for the office and repeat the whole
operation in less than year.
