MAYOR ROBERTS IS
FOUND NOT GUILTY

TERRE HAU1'E. Ind, May s.
Mayor Dom Roberts was Thursday
night found not guilty OF perpetrating
election frauds. The jury took only
one ballot and was out but 2 minutes.
The result is really a verdict
against the utilities companies which
inspired the prosecution, said Mayor
Roberts following the verdict.
The court room was crowded when
the verdict was rendered. A process
sion Immediately was formed and
headed by a band Of music paraded
through the streets. At most Of the
fire houses the bells were rung.

pied most OF the day addressing the
jury for the defense and was so fire.

incurred

"Sullivan's-six blocks up. That's
/ about the only place open now"
There was nothing TO do but for the
chauffeur 10 go after it, and in gloomy
silence settled back 10 wait

they had not gone out Of the way. And
! vet Warren did not seem 10 realize
| that il was all his fault Would they
ever get home? She was so tired and
sleepy she could have cried.
Time for him 20 be getting back"
said Warren finally lighting another
| cigar. Shouldn't take him more than
twenty minutes"
Mr.. Reed glanced at hts watch. but
made no comment. Helen felt that
he was silent only because he was
! thoroughly angry and out OF patience.
Mr.. Reed had gotten out OF the car and
was walking up and down.
But at last they saw George trudg-
ing back, carrying a large can.
THAT place was shut up. Had to
go over to Amsterdam av.," he an
nounced sullenly, as he poured the
gasoline into the tank
Mr.. Reed stood by watching him,
but made not comment. The trip
had worn out and irritated them all.
and he had taken refuge in guarded 81
lence.
Once more the chauffeur eranked
up the machine, and once more they
started off. But TO Helen's horror the
car soon stopped again.
What's the matter now?" asked Mr..
Reed, and Helen could feel the con-
trolled wrath in his voice.
Don't know. sir" answered George,
as he took out his tools.
Then both Warren and Mr.. Reed
got out and began looking the machine
over. Helen was huddled up in the
wide back seat alone. almost too
wretched 10 care what happened.
See here, Curtis" said Mr.. Reed,
suddenly. YOU'D better take Mrs.
Curtis and go home. / think there's
something wrong with the gasoline
Don't know when we'll get Off You

from here"
But / don't like to leave you this
way. old man. objected Warren.
That's all right. There's no use
Afraid it's been pretty hard trip on
her. Sorry we had such a night of it
and that | can't get you home
After few more protests, Warren
helped Helen out of the machine and
they started off. And Helen felt that
Mr. Reed was glad to have them go.
They kept looking back. hoping the
machine might start. But as long as
they could see it was still standing by
the roadside.
"Well, if l had a car I'd see that
had enough gasoline before / started
out" growled Warren. iii not want
TO take another trip with Reed soon.
If he's that careless he might get us
stranded anywhere"
Helen looked up in amazement She
was used TO Warren's never admitting
that he was al fault But that he
should blame Mr.. Reed for this, Tired
and wretched as she was she had a
hysterical desire TO laugh.

President Wilson has had no hesl-

Plans for the organization of a per-
manent government on the Panama
canal zone have been submitted to
President Wilson by Colonel George
w. Goethals. who made the trip to
Washington for that purpose. The new
government will come into existence
on April 1 next, when Colonel Goe-
thals takes the title of governor. The
isthmian canal commission goes out Of
existence ON that date by executive or
der and Colonel Goethals becomes the
civil and administrative head of the
zone. The term of office Is four years
and the salary $4,000. AS chairman
OF the commission and chief engineer
Colonel Goethals has been receiving a
salary of $4,000
The new governor Is plain, straight
forward, clean living man, without any
pretenHons and no ambitions aside
from a desire TO do his full duty. He
ls six footer ruddy, with snow white
hair. His tastes are simple and money
means little to him. He Is hard
worker and poor man. His name
by the way, isn't George Washington
Goethals. He was christened George
Williams, but the late Sunset Cox,
who appointed him to West Point,
only had his initials. and he put the
name down as George Washington.
After the appointment was made the
red tape of the army made 1t impos-
sible to have the error corrected, so
the George Washington has clung to
Goethals. Colonel GOethals was born
in Brooklyn. ffty-slx years ago. and is
OF Dutch descent. He entered West
Point In 1876, was graduated four
years later and assigned TO the corps
OF engineers. In 1907 he was appoint
ed chairman and chief engineer of the
Isthmian canal commission.

granted to his brother, the Duke of
York, large territory In America to
be called In honor of the proprietor
New York. The territory included the
Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam
and the grant was the first step taken
toward making New York an English
colony. On month later the Duke of
York sent feet of ships against
New Netherland. The Dutch settlers
made little resistance and in the
autumn of 1864 Fort Amsterdam and
Fort Orange ware surrendered. The
name of New Amsterdam was
changed to New York, and that of
East Orange to Albany. At the time
of the English conquest New Amster-
dam had a population of 1900, while
the total population of the province
was scarcely 10000
