MAY DROP RAND CASE
American Woman Not Likely
to Be Prosecuted for
kidnapping.

DUBLIN, October 29.-The dropping of
the prosecution of Mrs. Lucille Rand,
daughter of Henry T. Gage of. Cali
fornia, and of Mrs. Dora Montefiore. a
London philanthropist, was virtually de-
cided on today when the. case against
them on a charge of kidnapping came up
before the police magistrate here. The
two women had taken a leading part
in arranging for the transfer to England
of children OF the striking Irish trans
port workers. The children were to be
cared for in England during the continu-
ance of the strike. These efforts were
opnosed by the Catholic clergy, who o.
iected to the children beng sent to
Protestant homes
At the hearing today the attorney for
the defendants exp-a ned that the wom-
ems action had been Misunderstood.
There was he said, touch of humor
in charging them with kidnapping when
they were really on an errand of mercy.
They had not committed any crime. he
declared, but had perhaps acted indis-
creetly. The attorney general for Ire
land then consented to an adjournment Of
the case for month, which is taken as
an indication that it will not come UP
again.

I'VE do not, per'aps,' he said, take

spirit is there, and I think by the time
the regular congress assemblies In De-

through the proposed loan Of $15.00O.O01.
'.Of this sum. 5000. 900 is needed to pay

on public works. and 81 10000 for out
standing obligations of the department Of
public works and gubernacion, In 6 lat
ter being included items for the interior
department, the war department, policing,
etc
The so-called Platt amendment to the
treaty with Cuba which was concluded
May %. 1908. and which defines the
relations between the island and the
United States, provides:
THAT the said government shall not
assume or contract any public debt tc
pay the interest upon which and to
make reasonable sinking fund pro-
vision for the ultimate discharge of
which, the ordinary revenues of the
island, after defraying the current ex-
penses of government, shall be In ade

IT is said that the United States has
no objection to the proposed fifteen
million dollar loan.

he suggested, also should be designed
with a view to ascertaining what eff

BY N. o. MESSENGER.

NEW YORK. October 29-It has come
almost to the point when the out -of-town
observer of politics in Manhattan is ready
to put the cover on his ink pot, throw
his pen in the waste basket, bite saw
agely at his cigar and say What's the
use?" There is SO much bunco, insin-
cerity and fiubdub in the whole PROPOSE
tion that it is becoming difficult to write
a coherent story of the proceedings.
The campaign is grotesque bizarre and
crooked. The latter word is the important
one.
Atrocious Hes are being utilized to win
the voters, criminal libel is reSOrted to as

Complex Question Arises.
One considera ton which suggests itself
at this point is what will be the character
and type Of political organization which
promises to emerge victorious from this
mess. 1t will not be republican. in the
party sense; it will not be democratic,
it will not be Hearstite, although its vic
tory will come from amalgamation of all
these political elements.
Perhaps 1T Will have to be left to the
future to determine what form 1t will
take. For the present, the main thing
is to crush Iammany; to destroy the
system which has fastened upon the
most glorious municipality in America,
and which. in the opinion of thought
full. right-Nvins men In this town. is
cancer. Having cut out the cancer,
the next thing will be to build up a
body and restore it to healthfulness.
1t is big job, but big men have hold
of 1t, that Is to say. men who are big
in best intentions. 1t seems remark
able TO the visitor from out of town

Form Of Organization.

AS a preliminary to undertaking the
survey. Mr.. Bruere stated that there
should be organized among the officials
and employees OF the local government CO.
operative committees for each Of the most
important provisions of the study. Sup
plementing these bodies. he sad. there
shou be organized consulting commit
tees for specific problems or departments.
consisting of experts selected, as largely
as possible, from among officials In
American cities. All constructive Sug-
gestions. he pointed out. should be based
upon approved statements of facts re-
garding present conditions, with emphasis
placed on obta ming results of immediate
practical value to the District.
There is great necessity for organ
izing city governments in the United
States along scientific and practical lines" ;"
said Mr.. Bruere Is morning before going
to the District building. This work has
outgrown the bureau of municipal re-
search in New York.
''All over the country the people are de-
manding more efficiency In their city and
town governments. This Is shown In the
other reformed plans of municipal govern
ment. IT is one of tie big problems now
facing the country.
People would be surprised to know
the number Of requests for information
which come to our bureau from cities all
over the country. We have a school for
training experts In city government, but
We come nowhere near urplying the de-
niand. We have made surveys of num-
ber of cities and towns and are getting
requests for many more.

where 1t must be taken up by the fed
eral government, which is lucky enough
to practically own big city here in
the District of Columbia. There is no
reason why the government of the
District should not be made a model
for other cities in the country. where
officers of other cities may come to
get ideas.
Mr.. Bruere said he knew nothing of
the needs of the District in a govern
mental way. not having studied the
question here to any extent. With the
information already in the hands of
his bureau. however, he said 1t should
be comparatively easy to conduct
comprehensive survey of the District
government to find out just what, If
anything. is wrong with view to COR
recting all mistakes.
