Cleveland Takes Her Place as Sixth
City in Union.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Baltfmore-
which was sixth city in the UnitedStates
in point of population in 1900, has lost
her position in the country's great cit
les according to today's census statis-
tics and now becomes seventh city,
having in the last ten years been out
stripped by Cleveland which takes
sixth place. Baltimore's population is
now 558,485 as compared with Cleve-
lands $50, 663. The Maryland city grew
81 per cent or 1889 during the last
ten years. having had 50S,957 in 1900.
Cleveland, which had a population Of
$751; 76S in 1900 grew 46.9 per cent in the
decade just ended. Had Baltimore main
tanned it's growth of the decade ending
in 1900 17.2 per cent she would have
maintained her sixth position, which
had been hers for the past 80 years.

GIRDING UP LOINS.
''Progressives'' and "Old Guards
Going to Saratoga.

New York, Sept. 23.-The leaders in
this city of both the "old guard" and
'progressives' camps of the Repub-
lican party are packing their grips to-
day preparatory to marching on Sara
toga for the final fight. The state con-
vention will open there on September
27. William Barnes, jr., of Albany,
leader of the old guard, will be first
of the notables to arrive at the seat
of war. He will be in Saratoga before
shutdown and by nightfall will be join
ed by State Chairman Woodruff and
other Ieutenants.
The progressives will not arrive on
the battlefield until later. Chairman
LLOYD c. Griscom of the New York
county committee will march upon
Saratoga in probably the most unusual
way that a leader ever approached that
SCARED political battlefield. He Will
go I'D the Hudson in the motorboat
Tarpon, which nearly drowned Colonel
Roosevelt in his trip across the Sound
from oyster Bay to New Haven to
meet President Taft. He will stop off
at Saatsburg and thence motor across
country to Saratoga, arriving late
Saturday.
The Office staff of both the county
and state committees will leave for
Saratoga tomorrow afternoon and the
local delegations will begin to depart
on Sunday and Monday. Colonel
Roosevelt will arrive on the scene of
battle on Monday afternoon.

Will NOT WAIT.
Senator LOrimer Must Answer
Charges Now.
Committee Refuses to Postpone
Till After Election.

Chicago. Sept. 23.-The senatorial
subcommittee on privileges and cleo
lions which convened here to inves-
tigate the alleged fraud in the cleo
ton of United States Senator Lorimer,
decided today to proceed at this time
with the taking of testimony and not
to postpone action until after the No
vomber elections, as urged by the SEN
ator's attorneys.
AT the opening of teday's session
Chairman Burrows also announced
the committee would permit Attorney
Alfred Austrian representing the Chi
cago Tribune and E1bridge Hanecy,
representing Lorimer, to appear in the
hearing.
Attorney Hanecy presented his for
NAL motion for a continuance of the
hearing until after the November cleo
ton. The reasons advanced were IN
substance similar to the argument
made by him yesterday when he de-
clared that Senator Lorimer would
be handicapped through disinclina-
ton of legislators now under indict-
ment to testify before the committee.
The Tribune's list of witnesses was
submitted and the committee began
consideration of methods of proceed
ure.
The committee decision overruling
Senator Lorimer's plea for delay was
announced by Senator Paynter of
Kentucky, who said:
1.-The committee has given due con-
sideration to the petition made for a
continuance of this hearing until af-
ter the November elections, and has
not found the reasons contained there
in of sufficient weight to warrant the
delay"
A short conference resulted in the
announcement that the session would
adjourn as a public meeting until
Monday morning to permit Senators
Buckley of Connecticut and Frazier
of Tennessee of the members to be
present.
The committee has decided to ask
for the official record of the Illinois
legislature containing the baloting
during the period preceding and up
mer.

N. E. A. SHORTAGE SEEN
Suit Involving S175,OOO Securities May
Be Started.

Chicago. Sept 23.-Chicago is to be
the scene of proceedings to learn
whether $4,000 in securities-the prop
erty of the National Educational asso-
citation and supposed to be in a safety
deposit vault in Chicago still is there,
as soon as Nicholas Murray Butler.
president of Columbia university, New
York, makes up his mind whether he
will accept his reelection to the board
of trustees of the association.
Fear that Newton c. Dougherty,
serving a sentence at Joliet. Ill, for
embezzlement while superintendent of
schools at Peoria, also dipped into
the n. E. A. funds while treasurer of
the association, has been expressed in
the annual meetings ever since his
financial transactions at Peoria were
exposed.
No action was ever taken in the mat
ter, however, until the last meeting at
Boston in July, when, on the sugges-
ton of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, super
intendent of schools of Chicago and
president-elect of the association, it
was decided to open the vaults and the
board of trustees was empowered to
act. 1t developed after the convention
had closed that President Butler was
not sure he would serve on the board of
trustees again, and other members of
the board did not care to undertake so
important a task with any trustees
absent.

SOX PLAY HERE MONDAY
Four Days Series Will Be With
Wichita.

Topeka baseball fans who have not
forgotten that the old town still is rep
resented in the Western League viii
have an opportunity to see the wander
ing exiles, as they are now. on Mon
day, when Cooley will round them up
in Topeka for the Wichita series as
scheduled This will be the first ap-
pearance of the Cooleysox in Topeka
since August 7, the date of final lost
hope.
Owner Cooley has announced that he
will show in the city once more before
the season closes and the play chosen
is the pitiful tragedy entitled, Watch
Wichita Win" But Topeka ought to
be glad to get a lost look whether 1t is
fond one or not. Cooley's lineup at
the present time looks like a converted
State League team but some of the
youngsters have given promise of be-
coming eligible to Western class.
Following the series which covers
four days, the Topeka club goes to st.
Joseph where it finishes the season, DC
tober 3. The outcome of the two ser
les is not expected to create much en-
thusiasm as the club already has cinch-

and the adjustment of the account kept
by Mrs. Mills husband for repairs on
Swearingen's automobile.
The case in the court of Topeka grew
out of the same dispute. The jeweler
had endeavored to recover the ring and
in the scramble for it's possession in
the jewelry store, Mrs. Mills claimed
that Swearingen handled her roughly.
She charged assault and battery.
Swearingen's effort to put Mrs. Mills
on the defensive by making her defend
ant under a larceny charge was not
sustained by the police judge.

probably committees will be appointed
TO work out the details Of the pro-
posed picnic which is scheduled at

One proposition which will be taken
up at tonight's meeting will be amuse-
ment and entertainment at the gather
ing. ]. r. Spetter has suggested that
the North Brothers Stock company at
the Majestic be engaged to give natl
nee in the pavilion.
Whatever is done, the picnic will be
largely in the nature of a jOllihcation
over the extension Of the street rail-
way to the northwest city limits and
in the hope that it will be continued
to Shorey in the near future.
On the North Side Day" every bust
ness man in the First ward will be
asked to close his store at noon and
go with his family to the park to en-

SHORT
SHAVINCS

Horror was writ large on the fea-
lures of the night hotel clerk, who
had recently arrived from Maine
and accepted employment in a local
hosiery, as he entered the office
carrying a glass in either hand ex-
tended at arms length.
The clerk had been sent to a
couple of rooms on the upper floor,
that had been occupied during the
day, to ascertain the condition they
were in. He showed the glasses very
near the face Of the landlady as ne
approached the desk and in awe
struck tones asked:
"What'll l do with 'em?"
"Why, just rinse them out with
water and put them back in the
rooms where they belong" said the
matter of fact landlady.
But there has been whisky in
those glasses" protested the clerk.
so l should infer" quoth the
landlady, "but as it does not appear
to have been whisky that conflicted
in any way with the provisions Of
the pure food law and as the glasses
appear to be still sound, it might be
just as we'll to rinse them out and
return them to the rooms"
With many shakings of the head
the clerk followed instructions.
