THr. JUDICIARY WAY.


 In the Lit le Rock Gazette former Chancellor A. Curl, of this chancers district. Is quoted yesterday as say ing:
 ~The bar of Garland county is unanimously in favor of the Whiting ton bili.' said Judge Curl. "The docket of the present court is con stantIy so congested that the ends of susiire n many cases are defeated by the long delays before cases can bcf brought to trial.
 "So far as the statement of Prose cutting Attorney Wood that this bill was devised to otist him is concerned that Is absurd. The gambling ele- ment cannot controi anything in Hot Springs When this bill was first brought mp. Judge Wood was sick and we purposely delayed it's introduction in the legislature until he recovered, in order that he might he informed Of it. Judge Wood gave us his promise that he would not oppose the bill The next thing we heard. ae was cp- posing the bill and saying that it was baclued by the gamblers who wanted to oust him from office.
 "Aithongh we do not believe that Judge Wood has acted in good faith, we have shown our good faith by adopting resolution endorsing Judge Wood for appointment and election as prosecuting attorney of the new judi clal district If it is created
 The question of acting in good faith is an interesting one, as between Prosecutor Wood and the members of the local bar. but why not extend 1t 10 the people?
 IL is chivalrous in the bar members to say to Prosecutor Wood: Take it. Jim Jeffries; I'll starve." but wouldn't 1t be also chfvalrous in Prosecutor Wood to answer in return that he did not want an office by prearrangement or appointment unless the people wanted him to have it, and then have the questoin settled in a special election, along with the office of cir
 If the people of Garland and Mont eomery counties want Prosecutor Wood in office they will elect him in special election. just as they will speak out the choice fer circuit. judge
 Prosecutor Wood has something of claim on the present term of the office to which the other tilrse ooun ties of the district elected him Che having failed to carry his home county) and that claim would have consideration with the voters of Gar land and Montgomery counties now if the matter went to the people E The matter rests largely with Prosecutor Wood. It Y very proba- bIe that there has been prearrange ment watL Governor Donaghey to give Wood the appointment, and if so, it should be carried out-unless Wood himself refuses to take over by the heritage of claim, an office that usually lies in the bestowal of the voters

For some time past there has been
public speculation as to when the new

only g few months until the contract

new FIRE ALARM
SOON TO OPERATE
Fifty-two Call Boxes to Be
Stationed Within Limits
Of the City.
NINE IN BUSINESS PART
instantaneous Registering With De-
partment. Police Headquarters
and Waterworks.

The Gamewell fire alarm system
which is being installed here is rap
idly nearing completion. City E!ec-
trfcian William McNealy stated yester-
day afternoon that in all probability It
will be In operation throughout the
entire city by Feb 20 Most of the
work in the west half of the city is
completed, and a gang of men are now
at work laying the underground cables
which connect with the alarm boxes
in the business district and in the east
half of the city. The system. when
working. will be one of which ROCK
Island may well be proud 1t includes
50 alarm boxes, which are scattered
out SO that one can be reached within
a block or two from any point in the
city In the immediate business dis
trict, where naturally the greatest pre-
cautions are necessary, the boxes are
close together. There are nine of
them between Fifteenth and Twentieth
streets.
HOW SYSTEM WORKS.
The working of the new system is
most interesting. Suppose a fire
breaks out in any part Of the city.
The first one to discover it should
hurry 10 the nearest box, and little
trouble ought to be experienced in
finding the nearest one, for they will
be in conspicuous places and will be
painted red so as TO attract the eye.
Upon reaching the box the small glass
window in the front of il is broken
and the lever is given a turn,
that is TO say, ii is pulled
down and then let go. This
starts the mechanism OF the box 10
working This mechanism transmits
the alarm simultaneously to the three
different fire stations, to the water
works and to the police station. regis
tering at each place the number of the
box from which the alarm was sent,
and leaving no room for a mistake as
to the fires location.
MAKES EVERYTHING READY.
The system does more, however.
than merely transmit the alarm. AT
the fire stations the lights are turned
on throughout the entire building. d
bell is set ringing, the doors to the
horses stalls are automatically open
ed, and when the firemen jump out of
their beds Tin case it is at night ev-
erything is in readiness. All they
have to do is 10 drop the harness owe:
the horses, which are in place in front
of the wagons, and away they all go.
With a system such as this the citi-
zens can be assured OF prompt service.
There will be no need for waiting one
minute or five minutes or even half an
hour, as has been true in some cases. .
before the alarm can be turned in over
the telephone and then have the fire
wagons hurry away in the wrong di-
rection.

ARREST TWO FOR

Louis and Edward Eoehm Sell
Brass and Copper to Dav-

SEARCH MADE OF HOME
Quantities Of Stolen Goods Recovered
One of Accused Men a Gov
eminent Employe.

Sales of quantities of brass, copper
and other small articles to the Dav-
export Iron and Metal works by Louis
and Edward Roehm. a few days,
brought about an investigation by de-
teCuyes, which yesterday led to the
arrest of the brothers on a charge of
larceny from Rock Island arsenal.
Louis Boehm, who is employed as
laborer at the arsenal, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by the officers at
the government post upon information
furnished by Detectives Sanford and
Kinney of the Davenport police de
parLment, who have been working on
the case for a week. Louis Roehm
vas placed in the government guard
house and later was taken to Daven-
port and placed in jail. Edward Roehm
was arrested last night after a
search of the rooms at SIS 1-3 Main
street, which were occupied by the
Roehms. and a large amount of leather
goods and metal articles found.
Warrants for the detention of the
men have been issued by United
States Commissioner Bush and a fed
eral officer from Des Moines will ar
rive this evening 10 take charge of the
offenders.
swAG WEIGHS 100 POUNDS.
The thefts were first brought to the
attention of the authorities by officers
of the Davenport Iron and Metal com
pany. 20 whom the Roehms had sold
some articles which were recognized
as government property. The search
of the rooms which they occupied last
night revealed a large amount of
rough articles Valuable pieces of
chamois leather and sole leather, small
pieces Of brass and copper, were found.
The whole weighs more than one hun
dred pounds which indicated that the
stealing had been going on for long
period. Il is the supposition that
Louis Roehm carried the articles home
after each days work. All of the stol-
en- goods have been taken to the Dav-
EXPORT police station.
Neither OF the men denied the
charges which were made against
them. Neither would they admit their
quilt and maintained silence in regard
10 everything. II is probable that an
will reveal facts of more
extensive plundering than has already
been brought to light in this case.
