MORE CHANGESAT
 CITY HALL SOON
It Is RumOred That Certain Heads of Departments
 May Go

Several very surprising changes In the official city family are expected to be made within the forthcoming 10 days. The commissioners are considering some changes which have been delayed until the officials could get line on condi- lions. and it was stated yesterday that one or two departments are to be almost reyolutionized by the commissioners shortly.
 The commissioners have not intimated where the official lightning is to strike. They will not say who is to be released. But 1t Is confidently believed that unless some wide changes are made from the present intention changes involving some department heads are to be made in a short space of time.
 The commissioners have saved In reduc- ton so far about s14o000. They have dis charged many employees for the com mon good. However, 1t is stated the of ficial pruning has only begun, and that although it would be polite to await un- til after the bond election to offer up additional sacrifices, thus incunrring the displeasure of the released officials, the commissioners will not falter In their de- signs nor will the present Issue cause a postponement.

COMMISSION WILL FIGHT FOR ISSUE Lane Says He Has Another Statement for the
 Public

The commissioners will begin a refined something unforeseen occurs to prevent. It was announced yesterday by Commits sioner A. O. Lane that the board was hav- ing prepared an additional statement for the people and this would be among the first guns fired in favor of the bond issue. In announcing the proposed statement Jundee Lane said that Commissioner Weatherly was at work on the statement as well as other members of the commis- sioners with Comptroller Abbott. It is stated that the former financial statement was somewhat lengthy and rather than to enlghten the average citizens caused some confusion. While great many per- sons could read and understand the for mer carefully prepared statement it is stated it Is best to issue a short state ment, concise and without allowing any details or essential facts to escape.
 The commissioners are very much in- and while they do not intend to make any extended campaign for it's adoption, they will personally make every effort to secure favorable consideration from the voters. The commissioners do not believe the fight is in any danger. Nevertheless they intend to do their full duty toward informing the public upon the issue and will follow the statement anticipated to- day with other enlightening facts.

DEPEW DISCUSSES
 GARY TESTIMONY

New York, June 11.-(Special.) )-Former Senator Chauncey M. Depew had the joke on the newspaper men today as he sailed for Europe on the American liner Philadelphia, and he enjoyed it. Among the passengers was the Rev. Dr. Edward Leouier, an Episcopal minister. who is al- most an exact counterpart of MT. De- pew.
 The newspaper men gathered about the puzzled clergyman and to his amazement began to ply him with questions about the trust decisions, the steel inquiry and the like. MT. Depew, with Mrs. Depew and her sister, Miss Mildred Palmer, talk ing in the situation with keen enjoy ment.
 After the newspaper men had discov- cred their mistake Senator Depew en- toyed a good laugh at their expense.
 He chuckled over the way, as he said, Judge Gary has taken the wind out of the sails of the congressional committee that is Investigating the steel trust
 "The steel investigation Is a good thing" said the ex-senator. "It's good thing because it gives Judge Gary chance to tell how to run big corporations and get the information printed. The newspaper would not have printed what Judge Gary said if 1t had been given out as an interview.

BROTHERHOOD HAS
 MEMORIAL SERVICE
Large Crowd on Hand at
 First Methodist
SEVERAL SPEAKERS
Fine Addresses Delivered By Dr. Branscomb, Dr. Ellxourie and Others-Dr. Handley
 Is Missed

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- service in honor of the deceased members yesterday afternoon at the First Metho- dist church. The service was conducted by Samuel D. Watkins, master of ceremonies. Many speeches were delivered and ap- propriate music was rendered by the choir
 The services began at 3 o'clock by an organ prelude by Miss Corrie Handley, and after hymn by the choir, the Rev Robert Lee Bell gave the invocation
 After the Rev. Bell Dr. Branscomb read the scripture lesson. This dealt with Jesus Christ, the Laborer.' He said that if any man, or any set, should be faithful follower of the Master, the workingman should because our Master was a humble laborer Himself. Jesus understood the laboring man and his trials, and has shown as great sympathy for him as the highest king. Any man" he said, ito be successful in his line must have fellowship with Christ, and this certainly applies to the laboring man, the engineer"
 Following Dr. Branscomb the roll call of the deceased members was read by the master of ceremonies, Samuel D. Wat before the beautiful floral offering, a broken driver wheel, composed of several hundred white and red carnations, where each placed a white carnation in memory of their deceased brothers.
 After this Dr. Raimundo De Ovies de- livered an eloquent address on '"The Man Christ Jesus" who was followed by Dr. H. A. Elkoure, who gave a very short address upon "The Engineer" He described the soldier and how he was honored by the public, but said that he truthfully believed the engineer should be honored as much as the soldier. ''The soldier only risks his life, perhaps, once in a century, while the engineer risks his every day." he said, and in my opinion is as braveNa man as any war rior''
 Dr. Branscomb delivered the sermon on Heaven" He told of the ancients and their ideal place where they went when they died. and then he said he would tell of our ideal place-heaven. Heaven is just as real a place. he said, "as any city We are sure it exists for Jesus Him. self said I go to prepare place for my people. Heaven is an unknown place, but it is prepared place. and we must be prepared and to be prepared we must follow His teachings If we wish to go there.'
 Samuel E. Watkins delivered touching and beautiful eulogy to the late Dr. Hand- ley, expressing his great sorrow and deep regret that the Maker had called that beloved old gentleman from his great and noble work among them, and that the brotherhood sorely felt his absence. After the benediction the memorial service ended.

 And when the prisoner has been re- formed-strengthened in body and mind. taught means of livelihood and the hab- it's of industry-what then? Must he go out with nothing in his pockets but his hands? I don't think so. No fair man can think so.
 'The released convict must have some money; enough at least to tide him over the first few months-to keep him from feeling like a vagrant--to prevent his despair and relapse. am in favor of law that will pay the men a certain salary toward the end Of the sentence say one dollar a day for the last 60 days.

BECAUSE OF HER.


Mabel s. Freer in Ainslee's.
with bare brown legs and faded Bingham
saw her first-a lovely little girl.
Her slender fingers clasped within my
own,
with iow. sweet laughter, set my heart
From out her wondrous eyes Of darkest
blue
shone forth a soul all pure and unde-
filed.
And ali things young and beautiful took
An added charm because she was
child.
Again I saw her as n maiden grow,
A half-oped blossom, whose rare grace
fulfilled
The promise Of the bud, and yet gave
hints
OF greater glories. when, If God so
willed,
Tho haif.grown rose should ope to fullest
flower.
brought my gifts of frankincense and
myrrh,
To lay them at her feet; and evermore
reverenced Womanhood, because of
Her
And now I watch her rocking TO and fro.
And grooming low within the dimming
light
A tiny head Is pillowed on her arm
tiny form is cuddled warm and tight.
A glow is on her face-a light, methinks,
That never in the land or sea did rest.
All Motherhood is sacred now to me
Because II is my baby at her breast.
