not been learned by the parties to
whom they were addressed until the
morning following.
The most interesting part of this
latest move by the Western Union,
however, is the fact that it is using
public property for It's own private
o dyantage. If the city hall can be
turned into a substitute for a night
telegraph Office, where night mes
sages may be dispatched. why can
not it also be turned into a night Of
fee for the Public Service Corpora
ton in selling trolley tickets, or why
not have the city hall used by the
various railroads to sell tickets for
late trains, scr that their own ticket
Office at the station might be closed
at 8 O'Clock?
The whole scheme is ridiculous. 1t
only shows that the Western Union
has a guilty conscience, If it has any
conscience at all, and is thoroughly
alarmed over the turn affairs have
taken. There Is no legitimate rea-
son why the people of Perth Amboy
should not receive the same accom-
modations that other cities are re-
eeiying in the all-night telegraph SER
vice, and we believe the Public Util-
ity Commission will see that there is
discrimination In this regard. At
least we do not believe the commits
sioners will accept the latest move of
installing a telephone In the city
hall as furnishing adequate facili-
ties for sending messages in this

NIGHT TELEGRAPH oFFICE.

M
Turning the city hall into a pub
lie telegraph Office for the benefit of
the telephone monopoly ia something
new for the people Of this commun-
fty. All that is necessary to conn
plete this latest improvement Is to
have the police oflcers Instructed to
deliver the night messages when
they are received and Perth Amboy
viii have night telegraph service
with vengeance.
1t seems that the Western Union
Telegraph Company, which is now
combined with the telephone mon
nnnIv Ia somewhat elermed over the
agitation In this city to compel all
night telegraph service. Having re-
fused to give the people any salts
faction from demands made direct
to the company, the matter has been
taken up by the Public Utility Com
mission which win have a hearing on
TIE subject within a few days.
Perth Amboy feelsGthat It has as
much right to the lrst-ciass tele-
graph facilities as other cities Of this
size. 1t is evident that the Western
Union realizes the justice of this
claim BY its action in trying to
forsstall the demands OF the people

LACKING A HEAD.

l
mission form of government is en-
phasized in the futile attempt of
Chief of Police Burke to secure q
key to the ire boxes for the newly
appointed policeman. 1t is plain to
all that If a patrolman ON duty at
night cannot open a fire alarm box
to sound an alarm he is not fully
equipped to do his duty.
1t seems when Chief Burke asked
Fire Chief Rocks for a keys the head
of the police department was re-
ferred to Alderman ~sandbeck. who
is chairman of the fire committee.
The alderman. In turn. referred
the police chief to the city electric
ian. The latter said he did not have
a key, but would try to get n
from Rocks or SandbecA, In the
meantime, a policeman Is on duty
without q key to the nrebox ana
should be discover a blaze he would
have to run around hunting some-
one who could sound an alarm. A
pretty state of affairs. isn't 1t?
Who is responsiblef
The chief Of police went TO the
IRE chief. The Are chief passed 1T
on to the chairman Of the fire COM
mittee OF the Board of Aldermen.
The alderman referred the matter
to the city electrician. The city
electrician will now begin over again
and go the rounds to see IL he can
succeed in getting a key to the fire
boxes where the police chief failed.
, Under the commission form OF
government this is impossible,
There are FIVE commissioners, each
one having full responsibility for
certain departments. When anyone
wants anything In any department
he goes to the commissioner In
charge and that is all there is to 1t,
When citizens have any fault to
1 And there IL NO shifting OF the blame
from one maj to the other. The
commissioner is solely responsible,
He Is entrusted with hiring all tbs
men under him in his departments
and they are accountable only tc
him. These five commissioners have
the running of the city entirely with.
ing their hands.
There are too many ways @
lodging responsibility under gu
present form of government. While
the chairman in the respective com
mittees in the Board OF Aldermen
are Supposed to have authority, the,
cannot be pinned down when tn
test comes. There are so many 9th
ers who SEEM to be equally &
blame. Perhaps this can be RENE
died a great deal by the aldermei
taking their respective chairman
ships more seriously. The actiaI
mayor has already demonstrated hi
authority owe the police depart
ment. There should be no excuH
for such a merry7go-round as Is ap

FAMILIES FLEE FROM FLOOD.
West Moline Under Water Following
Hard Rain.

Grenola, Kan. July "a flood in
Elk county followed an unusually
heavy rain lasting five hours. Trains
were tied up and telephone and tele-
graph wires were down, shutting off
communication. Train service on the
Howard and Moline branch has not
been resumed, because of the sweep
ing away of one of the bridges. Sew
eral other bridges were carried away
by the flooded creeks.
There was a large loss of live stock
in the flood. E. A. Mann lost one hun
dred hogs which were swept away in
the flood.
West Moline was under water for a
time and seventy-five families fed to
higher ground.
Several rural carriers who went out
on their routes have not been heard
from and it is feared that some of
them may have drowned.

ITALIANS GOOD sPENDERs.
CareIessness With Cash Wins Hearts
of American Girls

Kansas City, July 29.-It was the
freedom with which Frank Collette, 10
years old, and Frank Radalle, %
years old, Italian Iaborers in a cement
plant at Chanute, Kan, spent their
money for ice cream sodas, pop corn
and tickets to moving picture shows
that won the hearts of Nellie and Eta
Meharry, 10 and IA years old. daugh-
tiers of J. r. Meharry Of Chanute.
They treated us better than the
American boys of the town." was the
explanation of their infatuation for
the dark skinned foreigners given the
police by the girls when the four were
arrested in a rooming house.
The clippers had seen the story of
their disappearance and their pictures
and were packing their things to
leave when arrested. At the station
they made no secret of the fact that
they had been passing as man and
wife and the girls did not attempt to
conceal their fondness for the Italians
I'VE never attempted to hide the
fact that we liked Collette and Ba-
dale at home" Nellie told Chief Grif-
fin. and before we left / even told my
father was going away with Collette
He refused to believe me, however,
acting like he thought 1 was joking
The girls will be held until an an
swer is received to a telegram sent
their father. The Italians probably
will be turned over to the prosecutor
| if Mr.. Meharry desires to prosecute
them.

AND REGULATE PRICES?

Washington, July 29.@The step
from an interstate commerce commits
sion which regulates freight charges
to a commission which will regulate
the prices Of commodities handled or
produced by business combinations is
not far cry. This movement
first suggested by judge Gary, the
practical head of the Steel trust, was
reiterated in different form by Attor-
ney General Wickershan in a recent
speech and criticised by ohm E. Par
sons, attorney for the Sugar trust be-
fore a government commission, all in
the short space of two weeks 1t
shows that one of the great problems
which the next congress viii have to
face will be the thrashing out of this
important question Those in favor of
the suggestion believe that without
hardship to the corporations, prices
could be established and regulated so
that there could not exist a trust so
powerful that it would work contrary
to the best interests of the people at
large. on the other hand. those op-
posing the sentiment believe that this
is a Socialistic teaching and that con-
gress should place no restriction on
trade, leaving to competition the set
ting of all prices. It is a new idea
which is going to gain in momentum
with discussion and there will I'M
doubtedly be introduced in the next
session of congress a bill looking to-
ward the regulation of prices of all
business com binatiOnS.

WOMAN MAKES CHICKS PAY.
Mrs. CoIwen of Clay Center Expects
to Clear 500 Per Month.

Smith Center, Kan, July 29.-Mrs.
Clara A Colwe1 may be the cham
pion individual chicken raiser of KAN
sas. Since early last spring she has
taken from her incubators and ship
ped to different points in the United
States more than nine thousand chick
ems. She had the assistance of her
young son.
The chicks are shipped by express
to purchasers when they are a day old
and Mrs. Colwell has suffered very
little loss by chicks dying while they
were enroute, although one or two of
her shipments went to Mexico Some
have also gone to Wyoming, but the
majority of the shipments went to
Oklahoma Missouri, Colorado and this
state. She shipped three hundred
chickens to Las Vegas, N. M, not long
ago and upon their arrival there only
two were dead. Mrs. Colwell has a
5-acre tract of land, but from this
she derives a much greater profit
from her chicken operations than do
many farmers from a quarter section
of land. She said her net profits
this season have exceeded 800 a
month, which includes eggs and chick
ems sold on the local market

RENO ROW IS CROWNS.
Dawson and Mayor Exchange Letters
and kilograms.

Hutchinson, Kan, July 29.-Mayor
Vincent has received the following tele-
gram from Attorney General John S.
Dawson:
UNLESS your police will close the
joints in Hutchinson hotels and some
resorts on the east side of town and
keep them closed, the most disagree
able consequences will fall upon you,
and that in short ORDER
Mayor Vincent was surprised at the
threat of the attorney general and is
unable to understand why such a mes
sage, which he deems insulting, was
sent, as he says every effort is being
made by the police to stop liquor sell
ing in Hutchinson and he believes
Hutchinson is drier now than at any
time in twenty years.
Mayor Vincent wrote a letter in
which he informed Mr.. Dawson that
he was willing and able to look after
the enforcement of law here, was do
ing so and would resign and call on
the attorney generals office for assist
ance when the time arrived that it was
impossible to enforce the law without
such help.

BUTCHER CAsHEs BAD CHECK.
Well Dressed Stranger Gets $f9.75 and
Leaves Town.

Ottawa. Kan, July 2s.-Be careful
about cashing checks for persons with
whom you are not acquainted A young
man who looked to be about 20 years
old went into the Baum meat market
and said he wanted some meat but had
no money except a check and that the
banks were closed. Mr.. Baum agreed
to cash the check for him. The
stranger bought % cents worth of meat
and rendered a check payable to Jesse
Nappon and signed by W. T. Wood
Mr.. Baum was told that Mayor Wood
had just written the check for Nappon
after the closing of the banks. The
butcher gave him $19.75 in change and
the meat. He took the change and has
not yet been located. Officers, how
ever, are after him.
