The inventor. Anatol COL

in life he showed a marked
interest in mechanical SUD

There he studied for sia

Germany. There he stayed
for four years. during which
time he superintended sew

In 1903 he came 10 Anne

found him in charge OF the
main switchboard at the
Louisiana exposition in st.
Louis.
Opportunities in Mexico
attracted him and. after the
close of the exposition, he
went to Mexico City. There
he remained for a year,

search is being conducted under congressional
order, and to Anatol Gollos, a Chicagoan, has
fallen the honor of being the first inventor in
the country to procure official investigation,
the reward coming after three years of work on
an automatic train control and recorder. Tests
are made by the government only after the pre-
lminary inquiry has shown that the device is
practical.
The tests of Mr. Gollos invention will be made
on the main branch of the Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy railroad stretch of six miles of track
having been equipped for the purpose. They
will be held under the personal direction of H. j.

NEW FACES WILL BE SEEN IN
NEARLY ALL DEPARTMENTS
SOME OLDER EMPLOYEES WILL
BE RETAINED.

AS the time for the newly elected
city officials draws near, when they
will assume the duties of city govern
ment, speculation is rife as to their
official appointments. Mayor Mullen
announced Friday a few of his ap-
pointments, and also the names of
his advisers. The best offices, how
ever, he did not say who would fill
them, hut that they were practically
agreed who the men would be.
The police force of the city at
the present time consists of eleven
men, including the chief and assist
ant chief. Whether any of the old
force will he retained is problem
atical. The newly elected chief, t.
he has made up his mind about the
matter, is keeping it to himself He

AS to who would be city clerk, there

Mayor-elect Mullen announced Fri
day that the appointments will be
made known in a few days, but he
was not ready to give it to the public

er to get in the citations through
Germany with ria.
The Russian newspapers seem con
vinced that Hungary, if not the whole
of the dual monarchy, is ready to seek
peace. and it is said that Emperor
Francis Joseph has requested Pope
Benedict to intervene in his behalf.
Except in Italy, the neutral country
most directly interested in this ques-
ton, little credence is given this re-
port, although the opinion is express
ed in military circles here that If
Russia succeeds in overcoming the
Joint resistance of the Austro-German
troops in the Carpathians, as she ap-
parently has that of the Austro-Hun-
garian armies, Hungary at least will
be ready to bring the war to an end,
so far as she is concerned.
However, the Russians have some
way to go as yet before they reach
the plains of Hungary, and the Aus
tro-German forces are placing every
obstacle in their way. The whole
southern slopes of the mountains are
strongly fortified, and troops are be-
ing poured into the region in dispute.
1t is said there are now twenty-four
Austrian and six German army corps
facing the Russians and that more are
now on the way On the other hand,
the Russians are still bringing up re-
serves and, according to the Austrian
report of tonight, they are attacking

man life.

died the Carpathian campaign. Their
advance between Polianka and Bart
field they say, squeezed the Austrians
out of the Dukla pass; that from Duk-
la squeezed them out from Nicola
borcz, and from west to east, this
process has continued until all the
passes are in the hands of the Rus
sian emperors troops. The critics
contend that the Austro.Germans now
must return from East Galicia and
Bukowina or they will find themselves
cut off.

French Repulsed Everywhere


Berlin, April 10.-An o,ricial state
ment says the engagements between
the Meuse and Mosele rivers contin'
ued yesterday with increased violence.
Between the river Orne and the
heights of the Meuse, the French
were severely defeated. All French
attacks at Combres, near st. Mihiel
and on the ALLY Apremont front were
repuIsed, as were their attacks on Re-
meanwhile front and west Of Chateau
Salines. There has been no engage
ment as yet at the towns Of Fromezy
and Goussaineville, which the French
reported they had captured. In the
east, the Russian attacks south and
east of KaIwarya were repulsed. The
remainder of the eastern theatre is
unchanged.

Much of the credit for the organi-

TO WATCH EXPENDITURES.
Heads Of Departments Advised to
Get Requisitiors.

Oklahoma City, April 10.-The veto
of several items in the deficiency
bill by Governor Williams, together
with the repeated announcement by
the former board of affairs and the
present officials in that department
is expected to result in more strict
compliance with the law as to pur
chase of supplies by state institu-
tons. Under the law the board of
affairs is the purchasing agent for
all the departments save the depart
ment of agriculture. In the past it
has been the practice of heads OF
some of the departments to buy
things and later ask the board of af
fairs to authorize payment. In some
instances there was no available
fund for the payment. In such in
stances the board has not felt that
the expenditure should be paid.
The new board of affairs has issued
statement in which it warns people
that the institutions have no author
ity to make purchases without au-
thority from that board. The state
auditor, E. b. Howard, has gone
so far as to announce that he will
not pass bills for supplies not au
thorized by the board of affairs.
The prospect is bad for persons who
sell things to state officials without

RUMORS Of
NEW UNION
s 7 A 7 10 n
PERHAPS THE NEWLY ELECTED
MAYOR MAY BRING PRESSURE
TO BEAR THAT WILL RESULT
IN NEW STATION.

1t has been rumored that about
the first official acts of the new city
administration will be to secure a
new union station for this city. This
movement has been started severa'
times in the past, but the railroads
seem to have gotten the best OF the
argument. and the city still has that
obsolete structure on lower Main
street not half large enough for a
city of this size.
Last winter, when the subject was
before the city council a prominent
railroad man of this city remarked
that there would be no improvement
in the present facilities as long as
present conditions prevail, that rail-
roads generally in this state are op-
Grated at a loss. owing to leg sl.,-
tive restrictions, and that many of
them were in the hands OF a re-
ceiver. For that reason he did not
think it probable that new station
would be built at present.
There is no question in the minds
of the business men and citizens gen
orally that Ardmore needs a new
station and there is also little doubt
but what the corporation commission
would assist them. were they con-
vinced that it was necessary.
Perhaps, before the end Of the
year, the citizens of the city may
see something like this happen
