PLAGUE PURSUING PRINCE?
German Legend Revived When kaiser's
Heirs Tour Is Stopped.


Heirs Tcur Is Stopped.
Superstitious Germans are glad the
crown princes journey In the far east
has been cut short by the plague in
China, for there is a Hohenzollern ira
dition that a great plague viii some
day carry Off a junior member of the
family. This to many means the heir.
Hitherto the tradition has been dis
regarded. 1t was a subject of joke
with the Emperor Frederick. When
the kaiser was child his parents and
tutors used to talk of the great plague
which will carry you Off in the sense
IN which old fashioned nurses threat
en- children with giants and ogres.
Some interpreted great plague to
mean foreign invasion, an earthquake
or other national calamity, but hardly
any one associated It with an epidem-
ic. The fact that plague has broken
out on the route The crown prince
would have Travelled delights persons
who believe in legends and prophecies.
The princes return, they hold. was In
dispensable TO his safety.
Germans who know the crown prince
declare that he will be very dissatis-
fed with the decision to recall him.
He is not at all nervous as regards
illness. but is keenly sensitive to criti-
cisnl and would probably have pre-
ferred to take the risk and complete
the voyage as planned.

A Neat correction.

Uncle Joe Cannon at dinner in
Washington said Of speakers errors:
All speakers make queer errors now
and then. Usually. though, they cor.
rect them with address.
Once in the Illinois legislature there
were two men. Montague Harrison and
Harrison Montague. The first was
very short. the second very tall, but
the speaker during d debate once adj
dressed the former as the latter.
He recovered himself. however.
quickly. He said, with a chuckle:
!. II Is strange that should take
Harrison Montague for Montague Har-
rison-that should make such mis-
take as that-for there is as great q
difference between you two gentle
men as there is between horse chest
nut and chestnut horse. Z Detroit

1,000, 600 BUILDING FOR
LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS
Brotherhood Erecta skysoraper In
Cleveland as Business Proposition.


The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers has recently completed an UNI
usual enterprise in Cleveland It is a
thirteen story Office building costing
about $1,OO0,0o0, erected wholly as an
investment rather than as a national
headquarters. Every member Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
has an equal interest. 1t is claimed
to be the only building erected on this
plan by a labor organization in the
world.
The erection of such building was
authorized by action of the delegates
at the Columbus convention in June.
1908, on a resolution introduced by
John n Welsh Of Atlanta, Ca, and
z. B. Mansfield of Shawnee, Okla. The
new building was completed about on
schedule time All the work was done
by union labor, and each contractor
having to do any part of the work was
required to insure all workmen against
accident. The building was erected
without 8 single assessment on the
membership, all needed money being
on hand.
This monument to organized labor
occupies a site in the main business
section of Cleveland, but a half block
from the public square and close to
the new courthouse, the postoffice and
the city hall. 1t stands upon a corner
and occupies 17S feet on one street and
124 feet on another The exterior FIN
fish of the first story Is Of granite and
the remaining twelve stories of white
terra Gotta. The interior is in mahog-
any and white Italian marble. The
walls are in tints. the doors and win
dow trimmings bronze.
Much the greater part of the build
ing is given up to Office rooms, the
ground floor, however, having an au-
dltorium with seating capacity of
/. 400. Aside from this auditorium the
floor space comprises 161, 900 square
feet. In all there are 400 Offices.

NO MONOPOLY IN TEXAS.

A telegram from Houston, Texas,
says the Fifth Court of Civil Appeals
holds that the Constitution of the State
forbids the granting of monopoly and
that no city in Texas has the right to
grant a franchise guaranteeing exclu-
siveness. The decision arose in case
where the city of Ennis had granted an
exclusive franchise to a water company ;
afterwards there was application for a
competitive franchise, which was con-
tested.

A third was cut down when the

AWFUL COST OF SOCIAL EVIL.

Chicago, April 1O.-The Chicago
vice commission, composed of thirty
leading citizens, has made its report
IT is the most extraordinary expos
OF the social evil ever published 1t
says the lives and soults of 5000
girls are annually destroyed at an
expense of SIS. 100000. Segrega-
ton is denounced
Tha commission makes many radi-
cal recommendation in it's report to
the common council and gives an ex-
haustive review of the present status
of the social evil in Chicago, its past,
its causes and it's means of SUPPRESS
ing it. The recommendations are di-
rectly against the European principle
of segregation.
They are:
Constant and persistent repres-
sion of the social evil, as an immedi-
ate method, with absolute annihila-
tion as the ultimate ideal. This. by
means Of:
/. The appointment of morals
commission.
2. The establishment of a morals
court.
In summing up present conditions,
the report says: "Most of the police
are honest. One standard of moral
ity in Chicago applauds dances by
nearly naked women in the name of
art and condemns dances no worse
before less prosperous audiences;
men, not women, are the ones high
est up in the business administration
Of the social evil; hotels which ask
no questions of their patrons are a
great contributing means to wrecked
girls; prejudice against colored girls
drives them into the social evil cen
ters either as servants or inmates;
the white slave traffic is not organ
lied"
Contributing causes are named as
follows: Want of the necessities OF
life, craving for simple Injuries, ig-
norance, broken promises, deceit of
men; but chiefly of all poverty.

ORGANIZATION OF ENGINEERS.

Belle Fourch, April 1O.-A new
kind Of state organization is I'M
der consideration the same being a
plan 1ncubated by the state engineer
OF South Dakota, S. H. Lea, who is
at present in this city overseeing tho
plans and construction of the new
$50 900 waterworks system which
is being put in here.
1t is a state organization of engi-
neers. The Black Hills region, and
its industries give good field for
such work, and Mr.. Lea believes that
much good could come from such an
organization. The mammoth engi-
neering project of the government, in
the two large diversion and conser-
walton dams of the irrigation pro-
ject OF this city, has made it a good
suggestion that the first meeting be
held here, so that this undertaking
can be looked over in it's finished
state
The commercial club of this city
is showing a friendly interest in the
matter and is anxious to have a sue
cessful meeting at this place, the ho-
tel and other accommodations being
good. Mr.. Lea believes that the plan
is feasible and is enthusiastic in it.
