MAYOR FERN IS
LAUGHSMITH At
JOKE ON BOARD

Mayor ]. j. Fern knows joke when
he hears one. He is known to laugh
even when the joke is on him; but OF
course he laughs more heartily when
1t is not on him. If 1t is, say, on the
hoard of health, which has refused to
bury the county's INDECENT dead, the
mayor allows himself to laugh unre-
strainedly. ....s:..... ~ :. ! =. H.. .
1t happened the other day that a
Chinaman went to the mayor and
asked for a poi-license. It seems that
the Chinaman makes poi somehow or
other and needs license to get rid
of it. Before, going to the mayor the
Celestial had been to the board OF
health, and from there he was refer
red to the city and county clerk for

POLICE rules
considered BY
THECQMNHSSI0N

Final approval was given to the
rules and regulations of the civil SER
vice commission by that body at its
meeting last evening in the chambers
of the supervisors. With only a few
amendments, making changes or addi-
tions to the tentative draft, drawn up
by Chairman A. ]. Writ, the rules
and regulations were adopted.
Aside from this work, the commis-
sion at its meeting last night settled
the question of fire badges, and or
dered that a drawing of the proposed
badges be made and presented to the
commission. These badges, which will
permit the holders of them to pass the
fire lines, will be given to officers of
the law, insurance men, inspectors OF
the water, sewer, light, gas, etc, sys-
tens, to representatives of the press,
etc.
There now remains only one more
set of rules and regulations for the
commission to adopt. That will have
to do with the police department. A
good bit of interest is manifested in
the rules of this department. 1t is
hinted that there will be few regu-
lations put in which will affect police
officers financially.
At the meeting next Wednesday
evening the police rules probably will
come up. When this last one of the
three sets of rules and regulations is
adopted, the three will be printed and
distributed.

RAWLINS FAILS
10 IDENTIFY
SOLDIER SUSPECT

In search Of soldier who may or
may not be involved in the theft of
sos and valuable watch and stickpin
from the MoanI bath house, Harry s.
Gray, victim of the thief. visited Fort
Ruger this morning and when the
men were lined up at morning drill,
looked for a possible culprit- Attor-
ney w. T. Rawlins, who saw soldier
at the Moana yesterday hurrying
away and acting rather peculiarly,
also visited the post at the suggestion
Of Chief of Detectives McDuffie and
looked for the man he had seen the
day before. The suspect however,
has not been found. according to lat
est reports.
While Gray was in swimming at
Waikiki. his metal number-check for
the safety box in which he had left
his valuables at the bath house office
was taken from his dressing room,
presented at the office and the con-
tents OF the box turned over 10 the
thief.
The only clew so far obtained as to
the identity Of the thief has been fur
nished by Rawlins. He says that as
he was approaching the bath house he
passed a young soldier gong the OPP
posite way. The latter seemed, he
says, to be In great hurry, to be ex-
cited, and in number of ways acted
suspiciously. Rawlins describes the
soldier as being of medium height,
weighing about 160 pounds and red
headed. He says he wore khaki uni.
form.
Rawlins met Gray as the latter was
leaving the bath house. Gray had
just discovered his loss. IL occurred
to Rawlins Immediately, he rays, that
the hurrying soldier he had observed
was probably the thief. fIc had at
first thought that another fistic en-.
counter had taken place between some
of the Hui Nalu boys and soldiers.
and that the red-headed private had
either been worsted in the fight or
was attempting to avoid arrest.
Il can identify the man if l sec
him again." said Rawlins.
AT Fort Rhger this morning no man
was seen answering the description
of the suspected soldier.
An inspection may be made at the
other posts.
The police are also attempting 10
find the thief.

CITY OFFICIAL
EXPLAINS ACTION
ON PLAYGROUND

''If the Fairgrounds representative
had made different sort of propo-
sition to US, the roads committee
would have undoubtedly handed in a
report favoring the leasing of the
Bishop property at Beretania and
Smith streets, the site of the present
Fairgrounds" said one of the high Of
ficials of the city and county yester-
day afternoon in commenting on the
criticism made OF the action of the
roads committee in regard to its re-
port submitted at the supervisors
meeting Tuesday night.
Spencer BAwen, the representative
of the Beretania settlement, asked
that we lease or buy this Smith and
Beretania street property, and turn it
over to them; in other words that we
give them the property, and allow
them to keep it without any jurisdic-
ton being retained by the city and
county. III we had been asked to
lease the property and assume juris-
diction over it; or in other words IL
they had agreed to turn over their
apparatus to the city and county II
the supervisors would lease the
ground, it is very likely that the
roads committee would have recon-
mended that the property be leased" !"

HOWE TRAVEL FILMS
DRAW BIG AUDIENCE
Cinematosraph at Columbia Portrays
Views of Wide Scope in Animal
and Physical World.

Silkworms and simians, mountains,
storms, fires, soldiers, and cities were
shown by cinematograph last night at
the Columbia Theater during the travel
festival of Lyman II. Howe. The
theater was filled with an audience that
responded to every effort to engage their
attention.
The audience was taken through

have done credit to a circus; on trip
in an airship over Paris; through silk

Interspersed with the travel scenes
there were humorous films imported from
France These were rivals to the travel
pictures, but were surpassed by feature

ludicrous animals and dwarfs and ath-
letes, who, after going through ap-
parently meaningless gyrations, ended by
spelling the name Of the next film, or
announcing the end OF one just shown.
These films were cleverly drawn, and
seemingly were appreciated as a feature
of the show.

PENNSY'S PENSIONS
NUMBER THOUSANDS
Railroad. Retirement of Employees in
July Brings Out History Of
Benefit System.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
in announcing the names Of forty-fve
employees from all departments Of the
service who were retired on pensions
at the end Of July, made public brief
history of the pension fund which was
established by President A. ]. Cassatt
when he became head Of the road In
lsge. Mr.. Cassatt recommended to the
board of directors, as one of his first
official acts, that a plan be placed in
Operation without delay to retire on pay
men who had reached the age Of sew
enty years. and the matter was taken
up by the lines east and west Of Pitts
bursh. each acting as separate unit
in contributing to the fund.
Records from which the results of the
past thirteen years were taken were
completed last week. They showed that
a total OF 7.i7s men had received pay
ments through the pension fund. The
amount OF money paid in from earnings
of various companies OF the Pennsyl-
yania system amounted to $s,sl3.15. or
this total 81, ,72I,792 was received from the
Eastern lines, and s2.1S5,3S5 from those
running west from Pittsburgh.
or those who have received pensions,
35I4 have died so that at the present
time s3i remain on the rolls. The plan
applies to every employe without regard
to rank Within the past five years two
vice presidents and the general counsei
have been retired upon exactly the same
conditions as control the case OF a track
walker or brakeman.
The pension amounts to ! per cent OF
the average salary or wage for the ten

plied by the number of years the man

| A rule of the company provides that
no man may enter the service after at

AVIATOR SAYS HE'LL
FLY Home OR Walk
Carl Browne, 0etoplane Inventor, Sells
His Return Ticket to California.
Confident Of Success.
ENGINE TO WORK

Carl Browne has sold his ticket back
to California He wants to return to 5
country in his octoplane, and SO great
Is his confidence that he has burned his
bridges behind him.
Mr. Browne is an inventor. labor agi-
tator, and editor. He owns and oper-
ates one-man illustrated newspaper,
which goes where he goes and Is pub
lished only when he chooses.
Recently Mr.. Browne invented his oc-
toplane-entirely different from any ma
chine yet built. He had 1t patented this
year. after three years Of work in which
he tried to raise money, and In raising
money, to persuade people that his
machine would fly. He made a model of
the machine and brought II to WASH
ington, where he obtained a small engine.
Representative Kent of California has
been sponsor for Mr.. Browne, and has
been of help financially in developing this
new aeroplane Yesterday there was a
trial of the octoplane in the yard of
Representative Kent's home at Twentieth
and Streets Northwest. The engine
wouldn't work properly.
The confidence of Mr.. Brown is unal-
tered. He has sent back to his home the
ticket he had, and he says he will build
a big octoplane and fly home with 1t, and
then doubters and fun-makers will con-
gratulate him.
The octoplane is built of aluminium.
Instead of ordinary planes. 1t has eight
surfaces-four on either side-which are
as planes and automatic stabilizers. The
planes are designed to revolve, and never
are stable while the machine Is in flight.
The only part Of the machine which even
| is fairly stationary is where the operator
sits.

Soon after he arrived in Washington
from Nebraska he explained how he
went off on one of his drunks and was
found on the Belmont estate at Four
teenth and Clifton Streets Northwest
by a policeman. Grove was especially
thankful to Judge Pugh, who sent him
to the hospital, because he said the
average Judge would have sent him
straight to the workhouse.
Grove says that he is forty-three years
old and seems to take pride in the fact
that he was born in the same town
with Lillian Russell and Buffalo Bill.
in Davenport, Iowa. He states that he
has not been in any trouble for con-
siderable period of time and promises
that IL will be long time before he gets
into another scrape.
Owing to the fact that Mrs. Cudahy,
mother of the kidnapped boy, wished 10
have the case gain as little publicity as
possible, Grove was never punished for
abducting Eddie Cudahy. During the
time that young Cudahy was missing
Grove kept him in a shack about mile
and a half from the Cudahy residence.
Immediately after the money was paid
Grove stated that he took Eddie in a
buggy within a mile from his house and
let him walk home. A few days after
such furore was created that he left
town. For five years he escaped the
police dragnet. He states that he was
in the vicinity of Omaha several times
in an effort to dig up some money which
he had hidden in the ground. but never
could reach his goal because of the po-
lice.
