shown than in an incident In the life
Of William Paley. the great theo.

obtain the honors of scholarship, and
he took high rank in his class. But
falling into bad habits. he gave up
everything for the pleasures of dissi.

companion suddenly exclaimed,
'Paley. 1t is disgrace to waste such

The farmers Of eastern Colorado and

Testing much interest in the second an.
nuaI Kansas State Irrigation congress
which is to be held at Goodland, Kan,
December 10 and | l.
Goodiand is only sixteen miles from
the Colorado Kansns line. The western
part Of Kansas has been giving consider
Ipble attention to irrigation by pumping
plants. Five such irrigation plants have
been installed in that district within the
last five years,
The water Is pumped from an average
depth Of ia feet by the use OF centri

burning engine. Eastern Colorado is
becoming interested in this new method
OF Irrigation almost equally as much as
western Kansas. In many places though
out eastern Colorado can be fonnd an
immense underflow, and all such terri
tory, it is believed, can be developed
through the installation of pumping
plants.
IN. Kysar OF Gocdland, KAN, chair
man OF the committee on arrangements,
mas sent copies Of the following letter,
given in part, to the farmers of Colorado;
"We would be pleased to see large
number ef people from Colorado attend
this congress. We therefore ask the CO.
operation Of your organization. Would
YOU be so kind as to have your papers
lprint notification announcing the dates
Of this congressg
eve believe that it would be profitable
for your organization to write every
commercial organization of all the towns
Throughout eastern Colorado and urge
them TO send representatives here from
their respective towns. These repre-
|scntatiyes would be able to gather
valuable fund of information on pump
irrigation and on their return home
would disseminate the knowledge gained
among the settlers of their respective
communities. The development of all
the country between Goodland and Dem

of Capt German to the Shakespeare

1t is possible that Captain Smith,
Englewood, and Capt. Ryan, Warren
avenue, may again change places,
Tom Carey is thought behind this.
One important change was made
yesterday when William Luthardt,
secretary to the chief, was sent to
act in the same capacity to the board
of examiners of the Civil Service
Commission and Vernon L. Bean ap-
pointed his successor.
Bean is a former newspaper re-
porter and has been connected with
the board of examiners about three
years.
Chief of Police Gleason has an
nounced that he will put more
changes into effect. One of these,
which has aroused much discussion.
is his intention to have detectives
travel singly instead of having part
ners.
For years the partnership" sys-
TEN has been in vogue in all the large
cities.
Capt. John HaIpin of the detective
bureau returned to the city today.
He is warm in his praise of the new
chief, whom he believes will make the
greatest police head since Joseph
Ripley.

ABOUT TO COME
The Chicago police department is
about to stage it's much-advertised
transformation act.
Tomorrow afternoon Saturday
four hundred detective-sergeants will
be selected from the eligible list of
SIG. Assistant Chief SchuettIer and
Serg. John Naughton are now en-
gagged in going over the list and weed
ing out those who have been made
desk and patrol sergeants and also
those who prefer not to accept the
position of detective-sergeant. After
they are through with their pruning
the list will be turned over to Chief
Gleason and he will announce the ap-
pointments.
1t is rumored around the City Hall
that several changes are contemplate
ed among the heads of the depart
ment. The most important of these
is the rumor concerning the Des-
PLANES street station.
In this district it is said Capt. Thos- !
F. Meagher will be succeeded by Capt.
Stephan K Healey, at present in COM
mand of the West Chicago avenue
station.
Little stock, however, is placed in
this announcement even though it is
known that Assistant States Attor-
ney Mike Sullivan is after Captain
Meagher's scalp. But public opinion \
is back of the present. head of the
Desplaines street district owing to eff
ficient cleanup methods and it is
hardly possible that the mayor will
sacrifice him to satisfy Sullivan's
political ambitions.
While it is known that Sullivan
would prefer most any other captain
to Meagher, it is possible he would
meet with great surprise if Healey
is sent over. '..~ -
