WILL REPLENISH
CLEANING FUND
Committee Assures Mayor That
Cash For Furnishing Streets \
Will BE Provided

Mayor Marx appeared before the
council on ways and means, Tuesday
morning, and obtained the promise of
the aldermen that they would replen
ish ID. Il. W. Commissioner Fenkell's
street cleaning fund as soon as the
$4,000 remaining is exhausted. The
mayors idea in doing this is 10 have
Commissioner Fenkell employ several
hundred men as quickly as possible
TO clear the downtown streets OF snow
and slush. Woodward-ave. intersec-
lions are in frightful condition as
the result OF the soft weather. The
mayor wants the street crossings kept
clean and he also wants to provide
as much work as possible for the UNI
employed.
The committee also voted in favor
OF allowing the street railway com
mission $4,000 with which TO carry
on negotiations with the ID. u. r. for
the purchase OF its properties. The
$4,000 is the balance OF the $1O0,OOO
authorized for the use OF the railway
commission. This money was never
appropriated. and as the contingency
fund is busted" and the liquor money
all spent, IL will likely be necessary
for the controller 10 borrow the money
for the commission.
The request OF the recreation COM
mission for $4,000 was cut in two, the
money 10 be taken out Of the $4,000
balance in the $4,000 fund appropri-
ated for the entertainment or the u.

eral fund. Commissioner Fenkell in
tending to use all of II in his own de-
partment The committee assured
Park Commissioner Dust, president OF
the recreation commission, that the
board is welcome TO make another

COL. CROOK so YEARS
in The WHITE HOUSE
He Was One of LincOln's Body
guard-Believes He. Would
Have Stopped Booth

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-From
President Wilson down to the hum
blest janitor, the White House is pre-
pairing for the celebration In January
of Col. William II. Crooks hftieth
year OF service at the executive man
sion, which will be on Jan. 5.
Col. Crooks official title Is "chief
disbursing officer" but he Is more
widely known as the White House
Encyclopedia." From Lincoln to Will
son Is a good. long stretch or service.
and fully half of the White House
traditions of today are matters or
Col Crooks experience. And when
ever a matter relating TO the dim ana
dusty archives OF the White House
comes up Col. Crook Is called upon
TO throw light upon II.
Col. Crook has said that he believed
that had he been on duty the night
Lincoln was shot the assassination
would never have been accomplished.
The colonel at the time was mem !
Der OF President Lincoln's bodyguard.
and he had been on duty for "a hours
continuously when Lincoln started for
Ford's theater, In Tenth.st.. where he
was shot.
The colonel says he begged the
president TO let him accompany him.
but Lincoln, with his usual consider
alton for those around him, remem-
bered that Crook had been on duty
for a day and night, and insisted
that another member or the body
guard accompany the party. The
guard, as IL appears, allowed himself
10 become more interested in the per-
Torrance than in his duty. and Booth
was enabled TO enter the presidents
box unobserved and fired the fatal
shot.
There is one White House custom
that started during the coloneFs time
which he cannot explain. Last Easter
some discussion arose regarding the
origin OF the egg-rolling custom on
the south lawn OF the White House.
| Col Crook was appealed TO for infor-
nation, but. much TO his chagrin, he
had none TO offer.
When he was told a story OF how
! Nellie Grant, daughter OF President
Grant, had been confined 10 the White
House one Easter during the Grant
administration. and how the custom
started through President Grant In
viting the children OF Washington 10
roll their Easter eggs with Nellie on
the White House lawn, the colonei
merely shook HIS head.
