The problem Of keeping liquids cold
in the summer without an undue waste

REPORTS OF
 CONTRACT BOARb
 UNSATISFACTORY
MAYOR WILSON INsTRUCTs NEW DEPARTMENT TO TOTAL
 MONTHLY STATEMENTS.

If a citizen desires to know what the expenditures of the Board of Con- tract and Supply have been for month or more, it is necessary to take a day off to get the necessary fnfor- nation. That board, which was es- tablished under the guidance of the audit committee, which committee proposes to provide the city with an audit and accounting system that will give immediate information regarding the city finances, filed a report of it's expenditures for the last four months, ending July S1, in the city auditors office today. This report is complete so far as items are concerned, but there are no totals given so that in order to find out the lump sums one has the tiresome task of adding up long columns.
 The matter was. brought to the at- tention of Mayor Wilson today and the board was instructed to prepare bet ter reports thereafter, furnishing totals and information as to the full amount of expenditures, in addition to the specific items. For the four months ending July 31, the board reports thaf it's expenditures have been $101 ,52e- 13. Of this amount expenditures a&gre- eating $65, ,121 57 have been invoiced, and the rest. $36, ,407.56, are yet to be invoiced. 4

him while the authorities were search ing for him and that arrangements for the visit were made by Lieutenant Becker was being investigated today. According to the story of Rose, Beck CT, although the general police alarm for Roses apprehension had been sent out and he knew about it, not alone arranged for the visit but formulated Q code of signals for Hart's admission to the house
 Rosie Harris, who was arrested in the flat with tDago Frank and from whom Police Matron Sullivan obtained information leading to the arrest of "Whitey'' Lewis for the RosentfaI murder, indirectly turned up the trunk of the hunted Lefty" Louie in whicl. Deputy Police Commissioner Dougher- ty today announced that the police found two of the revolvers with wf1icE RDsenthal was assassinated.
 Detectives going back over the Har- ris woman's record discovered she had served a term on BlackwelI's Ieand shortly before her arrest. After her arrest, the authorities learned Rosie sent word to her boarding house to have two trunks used by her. ~Dago Frank and Lefty Louie removed. Tracing the trunks the defective Anal ly found the woman's trunk in her l24th street flat, where she was ar- rested, and the other trunk at a dif- sereflt address

WILSON WILL
 VISIT INCOMES

Sea Gtrt, Aug. 3.--Mystery, today, still surrounded the visit Governor Wilson is to make, tonight, to New York. The presidential candidate still insisted that the only person he will see in the metropolis will be National Chairman McConbs and that all that they will, discuss will be the plans of the campaign. Just why it should be necessary for a presidential candidate to visit another city with his national question troubling many of those here but the governor declined an explana- tion.
 FT4 insisted, however, that the re- ports of serious friction having de- veloped in the campaign committee recently apponted, were unfounded. The governor said that the only de- lay in selecting the treasurer and other officials has been neceEsitated by the sizes of the job at hand. He said that he hoped definite decisions sHould be reached during his confer ence. with McCombs and stated that he will not return to Sea Girt until slAte SnftaaWaar Monday Tnorning. The governor also refused to say where in New York he will meet McEombs.
 After the conference he said he will seek seclusion for the week and rest keep up his strength for the strain of .the campaign.
 The governor received a present of a box of peaches from a Kansas ad- mirer, today. The box was labelled ttNext President, Sea Girt,'' and ad- mirers who handled it along the line penciled their sentiments on the. case.

 Building

Denver, Aug. 3.--After having shot and mortalIy wounded a woman and seriously injured man and then held the villagers of South Platt at bay for hours, George Bellew, be- lieved to have gone suddenly insane, is fleeing, today. closely pursued by a posse.
 The police advices are that the shooting occurred in the South Platt Hotel, small summer resort.
 Last evening, Bellew walked into the dining room while the guests were dining. He carried a double barre1led shot gun and without warning shot Mrs s. Walbreck, proprietor of the hotel. She fell mortally wounded and when her husband tried to inter- fere Bellew shot him also.
 When the guests fled Ballew set fire to the building and went down the main street, terrorizing the popu- lace.

PROBE DEATH OF
 INSANE INMATE
CORONER AFTER TESTIMONY OF TWO DISCHARGED OFFICERS WHO HAD SCUFF'LE WITH
 MAN.

Middletown. Aug. S.-Deputy Cor oner M. Eugene Culver is investieat- ing the death at the state insane asy-
 lun here of Joseph Moscantel but is being handicapped by the absence of the two most important witnesses. According to testimony, thus far, Mos scantel was being given d bath by two attendants when he grabbed one by his necktie and tried to choke him. Both attendants tried to break the mans hold and in a. scuffle that fol- lowed all three fell, Moscantel landing Oh his stomach across the side of the bathtub. He was apparently unin- jured but died suddenly a, day later. Immediately after his death both at tendants were discharged, one going the other to Ivorytof. They have been written to to testify but thus far have paid no attention to the letters.

HANFORD'S CASE
 UP TO TAFT
HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE VOTES TO LET PRESIDENT ACCEPT FEDERAL JUDGES RESIGNATION.

Washington, Aug. 3-The House.sJu- dietary committee voted today for mally to report to President Taft that it has no objection to his acceptance of Federal Judge Hanford's resigna- ton. So far as the House is con- cerned, today's action practically closes the matter unless President Taft forces a continuance of the im- peachn1ent proceedings by refusal to accept HanfordS resignation.
 At a meeting of the Judiciary com mlttee today the subcommittee. which conducted hearings in Seattle on the impeachment charges submitted it's re- port. Chairman Graham urged that inasm1ch as the only thing to be gained by pushing impeachment pro- ceedings against Hanford would be to sdebar him from the privilege of be- ing appointed to public office, the wis est course would be to allow him to resign. 1t was pointed out that. as Hanf@d is 64 years old. the possibil- ity of his ever being appointed to public office again is remote. (
 Members of the committee expressed the opinion that they didn't care to kick a man when he was down. and would therefore favor dropping the impeachment casea

NEGRO GIRL FIRST OF SEX EXECUTED
 IN OLD VIRGINIA

Richmond. Aug. s-virginia is about to execute a woman for nurder-for the first time in the history Of the commonwealth so far as known.
 Governor Mann was believed today to have decided against further re- spite for the 18-year-old negro girl, Virginia Christian, who murdered her employer. Mrs. Ida Beloit, at Hamp- ton, Va, under peculiarly atrocious circumstances. Virginia Christians death in the electric chair was orig inally set for August 2. but a few days before that date, Governor Mann gnanted her a. respite until August 16. It was tacitly acknowledged today by those who have been urging the Gov ernor to commute her sentence to life Imprisonment that the State execu- tive will not stay the death current.
 According to the belief he expressed in the Beattie appeal, Governor Mann does not think it wise to grant mercy unless there is the element of doubt as to commission of the crime, exten- uating circumstances or physical dis ability in the prisoner

THE TALE OF A MARKED $l BILL
Veteran Head of Detective Bureau Scratches His
 Head Tn Perplexity
Has $12 and Doesn't Know What to Do With It.
 Delaney Called In

Captain Arnold sat in the detective bureau at police headquarters today in mood plainly pensive. He scratch ed his forehead, drowned, scowled an6 finally smiled at his own helplessness Then he heard a footfa1l looked UT and saw Prosecuting Attorney A. l. Delaney.
 Here, AL" called the captain, ''you can settle this.''
 ! So he told his story. which runs something. like this:
 George Samo and Anastas C. Petru were fellow roomers at 53S Railroad avenue until a few days ago, when Samo moved. About the same time Petru missed $11, taken from his pock- ct in the bedroom, he says. One of the one-dollar bills was marked in indellible pencil with the figure "5o.'
 Yesterday he saw Samo. The latter was then rooming at 538 Railroad avenue. Without unnecessary barley he seized Samo by the throat, throt- tied him into help1essness and went through his pockets. He took SIP. One was a one dollar bill marked in indel- lible pencil with $50.
 SaIno denied the charges, but was not a physical match for Petru. He threatened to have him arrested Pe- tru thought that would be good idea and asked him to go along to police headquarters. They got to Captain Arnold's office this morning
 He heard the two dispute long enough to get a general idea of the cause of the trouble Then he asked Petru to hand over the money. He took the SIP sealed it in an official en- velope and locked it in his desk. Then he tried to get to the bottom of the dispute.
 The two accused each other with out avail, and Captain Arnold finally told them to come back this evening.
 ''Now I'm in a nice pickle" he told Delaney. Each man claims the mon ey, and I don't know what to do with it. Petru says he got the marked one dollar bill with his pay and can prove by the paymaster that he took the bill back to see if it was good. So what am I going to do about it?''
 Delaney suggested that Arnold might turn the money into the police sick benefit fund. But that wouldn' t do, because it was the property of one or the other.
 Arnold is still wondering what to do with the money. Meanwhile one of his trusted sleuths is Investigating the story of the marked bill. .,
