The two arrests were made thirty
minutes apart ChrOnes was arrest

at eleven-thirty this morning. Thirty
minutes later, the customs officers
went aboard the Mongolia and ar
rested the Fourth Assistant Engineer
who was in the engine room at the
time.
Both were taken TO the office of
Collector Stackable, where they were
examined by the Collector and by
United States District Attorney
Breckons for possible information re-
garding other members of the ring
supposed to have been operating eX-
tensively here for some time
Chrones was with former Chief of
Detectives Joe Leal al the time of his
arrest Leal says he himself was
standing on the sidewalk waiting for
a street car when be was accosted
by Chrones. Just as they greeted
each other, Chrones declares that Me-
deiros and Stackable stepped up and
placed Chrones under arrest.
Stackable requested Leal to step
inside the harbormaster's office, in
company with Chrones, where
Chrones was searched for the drug.

tied of twenty tins of opium worth
one thousand dollars. Leal accom-

Collector Stackable's office, where
Leal told all he knew and it is said

! A rumor circulated around town
later in the day that .Leal was in the
employ of the Federal authorities in
assisting them to round up the SNUG

AS a result of disclosures alleged to
have been made by Chrones and an
investigation, undertaken by the Gus

fourth assistant engineer on the steam

sailing time at noon and taken to the
office of the collector of customs,
where he is being held.
The theory Of the authorities is that
Chrones went on board the steamer
earlier in the morning and, as he was
carrying a satehel, easily passed as
passenger. While on board, his suit

with the contraband and then he made
his egress unnoticed in the crowd

without sufficient evidence to warrant
the Probate Judge to hold him for the
District Court, is surprising.
The receipt in question appears to
have been changed in date, as claimed
On the other hand, the defendant
when informed of this fact offered to
pay the rent. Under the circumstances,
there is no jury in the country that
would convict. These. = facts being
known, just why the case was pushed
so vigorously, is not readily discern

The character, the good name of a

Jackson have been wrongfully accused

up the business connected with the
sales OF all pure.bred stock and far
the past week he has been engaged IN
closing up the sales and making the
rehittances for the stock not delivered
before the original owners shipped
out.
The livestock industry in the
northwest is in its infancy continued
Mr.. Wilson. "And the importation Of
such animals as the Crangeviile men
Will secure from the Armour herd
will be big factor in establishing !
big market for pure-bred stock IN The
west. At present time BUYERS from
China. japan, Alaska, and the Argen-
lily NSPuOiC pass through our DIS
trict to the middle west and eastern
sections where they pay big prices
and make extensive purchases Of the
best stock they can secure. We are
entitled to this business and as soon
as we can supply the stock, we win
secure it. The market is becoming
larger each year and the more pure
bred stock raised, the better the mar
ket will become. This is true of live
stock as 1t is of growing commercial
apples or grains in sufficient quantl-
ties to attract the attention Of the
buyers.
"The herd secured by the Grange

CITY MANAGER PLAN.

The little city of Stanton, Va, or
iginated the plan of city manager as
briefly outlined in The Tribune of
last week. .
The tax levy was reduced consider
ably by the savings made in the first
year under the plan. Cranolithic paw
ing which had cost the city $500 a
squar yard, was done for less than
$l.OO; cylinde roll, costing formerly
~ cents gallon, became readily OBJ
tainable at SO. Waterpipe and all of
the various supplies were purchased
at . considerable saving to the city.
These figures are given merely as an
index to the efficiency of the plan in
practical operation.
There are reasons why Caldwell
needs reforms in her municipal system
Efficient reasons which will be emu
merated in due season. If there be no
other reason, the success of the many
cities operating under different phases
OF the commission form of govern
ment. is sufficient. They have retired
immense floating debts without bond
issue; they have made extended i'm
proycments and yet reduced tie tax
levies. They have organized the diff
ferent departments of the city into
a closely co-ordinated whole. incsess-
ing efficiency and decreasing expense.
The city manager idea is the out
come Of the modern trend towai j the
same scientific methods in runicipa,
management, that has been used with
such signal success in business. The
Tribune is not advocating any especial
system of government; it is simply
presenting for the consideration of
the people Of Caldwell ideas which
have saved the people of other cities
2 great deal of money.
The city council in Office at present
IS doing good work and no criticism
attaches to them or any previous
council. At the same time it Is not
reasonable to ask men to manage a
million-dollar corporation for nothing
Either their own business or the af-
fairs Of the corporation will suffer.
One result-or both-is inevitable.
There are several very grave reasons
Why Caldwell should demand change
n government The Tribune will in |
iue season present these reasons in |
ull.

PATRIOTISM AND ECONOMY.

It is very beautiful and patriotic to
see the grand old Stars and Stripes
floating over the school buildings Of
this city. That is, the idea il very
beautiful; the flags are anything else.
The FIRST of the present school year
the city bought new flags for the high
school and for the Washington, If not
for the Van Buren,. At present those
erstwhile beautiful silk emblems look
like the last rose of summer after it
has been thrown into the discard. The
school law implicitly states that the
flags floating over the school buildings
of the city must be taken down in
stormy weather-but no hand has
dcsecrated the beloved emblems OF
freedom so far. In sunshine and in
storm the flags. or all that is left OF
them-futter in tatters an entwine
themselves lovingly around the Chin
neys and soot-laden poles
So long as there is law covering
this point, it should be enforced. These
flags are expensive and it is the duty
of somebody to take care of them. The
school board may possibly be able to|
discover whose duty it 10.

A few weeks ago l referred to the
personal equasion" in school teach
ing. There was always this to be said
for the old helter-skelter mode OF
teaching in the country schools: any
pupil could go ahead according to his
ability. If two could keep together
well and good; if one forged ahead Of
all others, he was not kept back be-
cause of grade bounds. recall how
the grading of the Boston schools
was heralded through the country.
and the system. saving of time BY
fewer classes, ETC., was dwelt on. Of
course much was to be said in its
favor; but as time went on it was
seen that many a bright pupil was
hindered, sometimes almost smother
ed, by being held back by the slower
pupils of his class. It was found that
many bright pupil had reached the
eighth grade from two to three years
later than he probably might have
done if he had been allowed his ma
tural gait. Here was an evil; no sys-
tenn is perfect, and this showed one
big defect Of the graded plan. l think
it was at Oswego, N. Y, that a plan
was tried that at the time attracted
much attention. Each large room of
the graded school had two teachers.
One spent all her time going about the
room and judiciously helping the
slower pupils; reports said It worked
well. It's hard nut to crack, for
that plan does not meet all the diff
culties. 1t is well known that some
children are really brilliant in some
studies and notably dull in others. II
