In the first place the city can't
and doesn't use any wooden-or
any other-one, two or three-inch
pipe In the second place the city
doesn't use any iron pipe under six
inches and that makes more than
half the total number of feet that
the city can't buy without having
to Immediately discard.
In the second place, of the six
eight and ten-inch pipe that Jones
wants to sell, practically all is near
the Hillyard end of the system, the
end from which the water supply
comes, and the large pipe in the
city system would have to be at the
other end, for the city supply
comes from the opposite direction
So the city can't use any OF the
pipe that Jones is so eager to sell.

MIGHT C0MPROM-
Use OFFICER
Burglar Alarm of Bank Last
Night Could Have In
vOlved Policeman.

Officer Van Landingham, who is
taking the place of Bob Nelson dur
ing the vacation of the latter is con-
graduating himself on his escape
from what might have been an en-
barrassing situation. His experience
goes to show that justice is some
times uncertain when dependent on
circumstantial evidence.
Last night at about o'clock the
new burglar alarm of the First Ma
tional bank set up terrific changing.
People came running from all direc-
tons and soon the corner was
blocked by curious crowd.
Van Landingham was early on the
scene and on rushing to the front
door found it contained key. He
entered the bank and went to the
phone, asking central to find some
of the officers of the bank and notify
them what had happened. Mean
while the bells were ringing as if the
universe had gone crazy with panic.
One of the employees of the bank,
sitting on his front porch not far
away, heard the noise and knew at
once that it was the burglar alarm.
Thinking to catch the thief, he ran
with all haste, and on entering the
bank found Van at the phone.
1t was discovered after examine
ton that the cashier, George R. Fish
err, was the last man in the bank
and that he had set the alarm not
quite correct AS result of his
little error, due to ineXperience with
the new device, the bells set up their
ringing at s O'Clock last night in
stead of opening the combination
this morning at o'clock. Then he
went out, but forgot, as business men
frequently do, to take his key from
the outside door.
At the very time of the episode,
! Officer Van Landingham was further
down the street going from one store
to another, testing the doors to see II
all was WELL He was moving toward
the bank and would have reached
that point in short time. II he had
arrived, say at one minute to 8. found
the key in the door, entered, as is his
custom to do in such cases, in order
to call up the banker and advise him
of the situation, his position would
have been very compromising when
the alarm began to ring. 1t would
have been very hard for him to de-
fend himself from the charge OF at
tempt to rob the vault.
To a reporter of the World the
officer stated last night that he has
! learned a lesson. Under no circum-
stances would he. if ever called to
serve on a jury, vote to condemn a
man On circumstantial evidence.

Canadian Manufacturers.

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 19.-The
Canadian Manufacturers association,
which was organized in 1871 and
now has membership of nearly
$500 holds its annual convention in
Vancouver this week, beginning to-
morrow and continuing until Thurs
day. Representative of the business
interests of the entire Dominion are
here to take part in the gathering.
The first days session will be de-
voted to executive business, but
thereafter the programme embraces
the presentation of many papers and
addresses dealing with the progress
of business. reports of committees
and a discussion of the tariff situa-
ton and business conditions. There
are already ample evidences that
there will be a great demonstration
against reciprocity and against lower
duties in the tariff. This demonstra-
ton will be in response to the strong
and persistent pressure which the
10000 organized grain growers in
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatch-
evan and Alberta brought to bear on
Sir Wilfrid Laurier during his recent
tour in the west.
At the election of officers for the
year it is thought probable that the
present vice president, w. H. Row
ley, of Hull, Quebec, will be chosen
to head the association. The gath
ering will close with the annual con-
vention banquet at which Hon. Rich
ard Mcbride, premier of British Co.
lumbia, will be one of the chief
speakers.

Chicago, Aug. 25-1n the second
trial of Lee O'Neil Browne here Judge
Kersten ruled that Representative H.
j. c. Beckemeyer Of Carlyle might
answer questions about the legislative
jack pot of 1909. Judge Kersten over
ruled the objections of the defense to
the testimony of both Beckemeyer and
Representative Michael 8. Link.
Beckemeyer said Browne paid him
$1,000 in the Southern hotel, st. Louis
June 21, 1909, saying there will be
some more in q few weelB."
Subsequently Beckemeyer says he
was told to visit st. Louis and this
time declared he met Representative
Robert E. Wilson and received 5000
jack pot money from him. Wilson is
now under indictment for perjury.
Through Beckemeyer, the prosecu-
ton was able to introduce register

rican big game was not altogether a
one-sided affair."
MIR. Loring spoke of Kermit as be-
ing one of the most persistent sports
men he has ever met; cool in the
presence of danger and so enduring
that when he pursued a wounded
animal. he seldom failed to get it and
in the chase he outran his gun bear
crs and even the swiftest porters.
In substance Mr.. Loring denied
that the expedition was one Of slaugh-
ter. He said that it was purely scien-
tific; sent out by the Smithsonian in
stitution for the purpose of enriching
our knowledge Of science and to col
lect specimens of African animals.
Ten times the amount of game could
have been killed. Already. over twen-
ty-f1ve animals new to science have
been described, and when the entire
collection has been worked up, many
more will have been found. Not in

PEELED to close to travellers sections of
the country where man-eating lions
have suddenly appeared and are kill
ing the natives or where a rogue
rhinocerous or buffalos toss them with
their horns. These animals have to
be killed before the region is again
safe for travellers. Game is so abund-
ant that barbed wire fences are brok-
en- down by zebras. wild beasts and
hartbeats and crops seriously dam
aged. The settlers encourage hunters
and II they had their own way, in a
short time the vasts herds of game
that now roam over the plains would
be greatly decreased.
A large number of colored lantern
slides made from photographs taken
by Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit
Roosevelt were shown. They depicted
herds Of wild elephants. rhinoceroses

THE AFRICAN
GAME TRAILS
]. Alden Loring Describes the
Roosevelts When Confront
ed With Danger

Waverly. n. Y. Aug. 25.-J. Alden
Loring of Oswego, N. Y, one of the
field naturalists that accompanied
the Roosevelt African expedition, de-
livered his first lecture, Through At
RIGA with Roosevelt" here last night
as one of the attractions of the old
home week celebration. Mr.. Loring
covered the entire trip from Monibasa,
British East Africa, to Gondokoro on
the Nile, where the big game hunting
practically ceased. After describing
the habits OF the natives and game,
and relating many interesting exper-
fences that befell various members of
the party, the speaker said:
Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit are
two of the finest men to be in camp
with l have met. Their whole inter-
est was for the good of the expedition
and they added many rare animals
to the collection simply because they
were determined to make it as COM
plete' as possible. Although handi-
capped by poor eyesight, the colonel
is good marksman. Like all sports
men, he made many good shots and
he made many poor ones, but as a
whole his shooting was above the av-
erage and he frequently brought down
flying birds, such as herons, cranes
and great bustards. In hunting
dangerous game, such as buffalos,
elephants, rhinoceroses and lions, he
exhibited the courage of veteran
big game hunter, and the quickness
with which he mastered the situation
when in dangerous places. and the ac-
curacy of his shooting showed that
he never got excited.
II do not think that the colonel
gives his readers fair impression Of
the very great danger that he and
Kermit were so often placed in. Aft
er we had said goodby to four or five
settlers with whom we had become
acquainted, and met them again sew

badly injured arm chewed by leop-
