Handsome Gift
 For Capt. Began
 by K of C. Boys

Captain John H. Began, whose merit as police officer was recently recognized by the police commission CTS in his promotion from sergeant to captain, was paid flattering com pliment by fellow members of Bridge port chapter, Knights of Columbus, at their quarters in the Newfleld building last evening.
 Captain Began was called away from his home last evening to the chapter rooms, not expecting any thing more than participation in an the night was we'll advanced Miss Kay, the charming comediennef at Polls this week, was called upon to entertain. To the surprise of the captain, she sang clever parody on the popular Kelly" song, which ran, Has Anyone Here Seen Began"
 Rev. Father John F. Callahan, of St. Charles parish, escorted the po- lice captain from the midst of the gathering, He hadn't chance to realize what was in the works before the priest had him before the gath ering, and paid him a flattering tri- bute. He dwelt upon his sterling qualities of citizenship and his worth as police officer. He spoks of Cap tain Regan's interest in the progress of the Knights of Columbus and of his adherence to the lofty ideals of the organization. Then he presented the captain with handsome gold watch. chain and emblematic charm Captain Began was too surprised for words. He managed to express nts appreciation briefly but was too deeply moved for any extended ad- dress.
 The presentation was the chief feature of one of the most successful smokers that the organization has held. The K. of c. orchestra, Miss May and William Goodwin of the vaudeville bill at Polls, George Fin kelstone and others contributed to the program.

claims to have against his office Mc- Kenna declared such a bill had never been sent him and that if a bill for that amount appears 1t will be sub stantially reduced when he looks it over.
 As to the statement of an enploye of the Aston Garage that he asked for a blank statement of account. Me kenna said that must have been misunderstanding. What he asked for was an iten1ized statement of account, instead of a bill. He said he had no occasion to get a blank statement, that it would be of no use to him.
 w. D. Morton who was paid s25. was chemist recommended by Engi- neer O. H. Klein of New York, sta toned in Virginia to inspect the wood blocks and employed by City Auditor Keating and McKenna. He wrote up for $25, which he had earned, and City Auditor Heating said he had no funds that could be used for that purpose right away. McKenna asked him if there would be any objection to his taking it from his appropriation. He said he did not see any. So I had MT. Heating forward the money to him. he said
 McKenna said the "Schwiers" to whom references had been made was F. J. W. Schwiers of New York. a contractor and consulting engineer. He consulted the engineer in bridge work, particularly as to the strain and stress and in checking up the loading. Schwiers he said has built many big bridges particularly in New Jersey and New York State. though he is not so well known in Connecticut Schwiers built the Boston avenue bridge here, being the lowest of 20 bidders. The consultations cost S69. which McKenna considered reasonable and justif1able
 McKenna said in response to a ques- tion by Klein that he thought of noth- ing else he wished to say to the com mittee and at 9:44 Attorney Klein turned him over to Judson for cross examination.

I applied for membership in the American Society in accordance with the rules and regulations of that society. Due to the activity of a cer- tain local engineer, I was rejected. My name was rejected"
 Judson insisted upon his source of information. Several friends of mine who were on my application have told me- said he.
 Did you apply the second time?' t'Yes sir,'' Were you rejected?" 'FYes sir, the same conditions prevailed

 Then he asked me when he could come in. I told him he had better go and get the cut fixed and come in the next day.
 what effect it had upon the other members of the force.
 ..There was general dissatisfaction among all the men, said he. They felt that if one man could be away when he felt like it they were entitled to do the same. I never asked a man in the office to do a thing that plain that the office system is so reg ulated that the hours are from to with an hour at noon, and that only when it Is absolutely necessary does he ask his men to put in extra time.
 Klein then introduced many checks payable to N. L. Reilly by M. F. Mc- Kenna. McKenna produced receipts for all these checks. Then were talk en up the checks of H. c. McKeon and Alfred Fox, for $28 and $25 respective ly.
 McKenna said there were many small amounts for various employees included in these checks. They were made pay dple to oue Lhehiool oI .,io gang, cashed by McKenna and the money turned over to the various em- ployes Receipts for small amounts aggregating $53 were introduced, in- cluding those of McKeon and Fox, to cover these checks.
 The automobile of the engineers of- flee expense of running which has been dWelt upon by Judson at some length was then discussed The machine was purchased, second hand, from the sLocomobile Co. for $500. It was ori- ginally a $5.0OO car and was years old. It was of the seven passenger type He never used it for his own purposes. Asked about the bill for over $500 the Miller Motor Car Co.,,

hilPs record of the days he did not work He said he had been absent only 12 days in three years and only two days without permission.
 This disrupted the organization, he said, for the office force is distributed in gangs of four-experience has taught that that number is the most efficient in grouping the men--and in the absence of Mulvihill who was to do certain work the force became dis organized.
 Recalling the time of his encounter with Mulvihil1, Klein brought out that on Monday morning the men waited for Mulvihill to arrive, but he didn't appear, and the same thing happened on Tuesday. On Wednesday he came, and was assigned to his party. He made no mention of the fact of his absence, testified McKenna. After he had gone down stairs," he continued, CT sent word that I wanted to see him. I waited for the others to go in order not to humiliate him before them. by asking him to explain his being away.
 "He told me he didn't have to make any reports to me about being absent, that I had nothing to do with him, that his father placed him in the of fee of the city engineer and that I couldn't remove him and he followed that up by saying he would do what he pleased and that was a no good = -.
 McKennas face flushed and for the first time during his long examination of the previous night and last night he betrayed signs of suppressed ex- citement. But he kept his voice steady and continued:

MACHINE BADLY DAMAGED
Chauffeur Hurled Out but Not Badly
Injured-Car Is Pushed Ont of
the Garage.

Heat rising from the engine of a
touring car which had just been run
into the garage after a long run,
caused an explosion of gasoline and
the subsequent enveloping of the en-
tire machine in flames at 1880 last
evening in the garage of the Ford
Auto Cab company at the rear of 219
Twentieth street. As a result the
machine was practically destroyed,
and rendered almost useless. J. NJ.
Galloway, owner Of the company, was
in the machine at the time and was
emptying the contents of can of
gasoline into the supply tank of the
car. The fumes were ignited and the
Galloway out of the car In fighting
the flames his hand was badly burned.
PUSH MACHINE OUT.
He had just run into the garage
after a long run and was fitting the
car for another long run into the
country. His brother was in the
place with him at the time. With
rare presence OF mind, they pushed
the burning machine out of the ga
rage and thereby saved two other
cars from the flames. The fire de-
partment aided in eXtinguishing the
fire. Although the machine was not
entirely destroyed, the loss will
mount up to moIs than $500. II is

MILK TESTER is
LOCAL PRODUCT
Device to Be Demonstrated to
Teachers Is Made by Rock
Island Concern.
MACHINE HAS A FUTURE
Output Growing Rapidly, 5000 of
Them Having Been Placed on
Market This Year.

At this particular time when atten
ton is being conferred on the demon
tration of the Babcock Milk Tester at
the Teachers institute in the high
school next Tuesday morning, 1t Is in
teresting to know that this tester is
manufactured by a Rock Island con-
Germ, which has delivered one of its
machines to County Superintendent S.
J. Ferguson to be used on that occa-
sion. This concern is the Rock Island
Manufacturing company located on
First street and Fifteenth avenue, and
has been turning out the testers for
the past two years. The plant covers
over three acres. There are two build
ings, the machine shop which is S0x160
and the foundry, 70x120. These build
ings are equipped with the most up-to-
date machinery the greater part Of
which has been installed since the
present concern took over the assets
of the Rock Island Tool company
which formerly operated this plant
This change occurred about two years
ago.
PLANT Is GROWING.
The plant employs So men at the
present time which is the dull season
but by the first of the year will have
l20 at least. The business of this COM
pany is not confined exclusively to the
manufacture of milk testers but in
clUdes vises and other hardware spe-
cialties such as hand grinders. anvils,
cast iron mailbOXes, hand corn she'll
ers, fire proof boxes and sad irons. The
manufacture of the milk testers is
comparatively new venture. Last year,
as the company was merely getting
started in this line il only put out 2,
600 testers but this year will turn out
fully 5000. The factory is at present
turning out about % machines a day.
The testers are not sold to the retail
trade direct but through jobbers.
Large numbers are taken up by the
dairy supply trade and also by cooper
alive dairy concerns mostly in the cen
trail and western states.
SHOWS QUATIT YOF MILK.
This tester is designed especially
for the farmer who wants ito know
what the milk he is producing is worth
and what he should get for it. also to
know which particular COW gives him
the kind of milk he can sell for the
most money. The tester is made from
iron and steel. 1t was invented by
man named Babcock at the time he
was in the employ Of the State Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, and as he was work
ing for the state he refused TO have
the machine patented. At the time the
Rock Island Manufacturing company
was contemplating the production OF
the machine there were but three or
four firms in this country making
them. AS there was good field for
them it was decided to add them to
the firms other lines. The local com
pany manufactures the tester complete
with the exception of the glass tubes,
which are purchased. This firm. of
which c. z. Shields is the president,
has not advertised its product very
extensively as st but if the testers
are installed as part of the equip
ment of the various country schools
its business in this line will progress
by leaps and bounds.
