"The methods that were used to
take votes from me were without pre-
cedent," said Mayor Kage yesterday.
81 have several letters, which were
sent to friends of mine, in which it
was insinuated that / was interested
in an Objectionable place in the west
ern part of the city. ....
81 have taken the matter up with
my attorney and we have decided to-
bring charges to the attention of the
Federal Grand Jury. l have received
information leading to the source of
these letters, and | am going to see
what can be done.
"Quite a number of men were par
ties to the charges made against me,
and they will be called upon to explain
the allegations. If they have any in
formation substantiating their charg-
es, they will have an opportunity to
make it public.
81 decided to ask the Grand Jury to
consider the matter last Monday, but
l declined to make known my plans
before the election, because l did not
want my friends to think that | was
trying to win votes. gave those who
were responsible for the letters an op-
portunity to get all they could out of
their campaign literature, but l pro-
pose to push the matter to the very
limit.
"a certain man in this city, who has
resorted to every unfair means to in
jure me, both in campaigns and in the
performance of my official duties,
figured prominently in bringing the
charges and giving them circulation.
have positive information that he de-
posted large number of the letters
in the mails.
"If the Grand Jury considers the
circulation of these charges misuse
of the mails, then expect indictments
to be returned, and if they are return
ed, l shall prosecute them to the
finish"
A well-known attorney has been in
consultation with the Mayor regard
ing the letters for several days, and
he announced yesterday that those
who were responsible for the circula-
ton of the charges through the mails,
were guilty of violation of the postal
laws.
If convicted, he said, the punish
ment might include a term in the
Federal prison.
Neither the Mayor nor his attorney
would disclose the names of the per-
sons who are implicated, but they
stated that they were men Of prom
inence. It is said that one of the men
suspected has been bitter opponent
of Mayor Kage for several years. He
is one of the two parties who were
seen depositing a bundle of the letters
in postal box.
1t is understood that the mayor mas
received information from sources
very close to those who framed the
charges, and they have furnished
names Of those who drafted the let
ters and ordered them deposited in the
mails.

swept his ticket, with two exceptions,
into office. Thomas Moore, candidate
for Police Judge, and Tom Gill, NOM
inee for Councilman from the Fourth

the Kage ticket. The other candidates

A moving picture manufacturer OF
Paris has perfected plans for made
to order avalanche" in the Alps. A
contract was made with q score OF
Alpine guides at Engelberg to stage"
the spectacle. Huge masses Of rock.
ice and trees to form q realistic ava
lanche will be placed on one Of the
Alpine peaks. Camera men will be
placed at points Of vantage along the
route Of the avalanche and electric
wires will give the signal when the
slide begins. Since the paths Of av-
alanches are well known to guides in
the Alps. one Of these routes has been
selected for the moving picture under
taking. The camera men have been
insured against accident and the cine
matograph firm has put UP bond to
indemnify property owners for any
damage that may be done. 1t is-said
that the firm has also agreed to pay
damages to the family OF any person
who may be caught in the path Of the
snowslide.

Dry reservoirs are assumed in the
popular mind to be q novelty In engi-
nsering. and even engineers generally
are not aware Tat they date back at
least 200 years. Two basins Of this
type were built in France in I'LL.
They do not conform to the conven
tional idea Of reservoir. which re-
quires that the valley be closed by an
unbroken dam, says Engineering Rec
ord. The impounding structures on
the Loire and Upper Loire merely mar
row the stream and restrict the dow
to the capacity Of the channel below.
In this way they hold back the peaks
Of the floods. In principle they do not
differ from the dry reservoirs pro
posed on the Great Miami river in
Ohio to prevent recurrence of the
disastrous foods Of last year.

REV. BOYD RETURNED.
Ccnison NJ. e. Pastor VIII Remain
Another Year-Mr. Pierce Chos-
en- AS Reserve Delegate.

At the Methodist conference held at
Dcs Moines last week, and which adj
journed on Monday, Rev. J. L. Boyd
was again assigned to Denison. This
was agreeable both to the bishop and
the members of the church and con.
sregation at this place. Rev. Boyd
has made good during the last year
and his return in fully approved by
the church here. He has impressed
himself upon the church at Denison as
and measures up in every way to the
satisfaction of the church.
Denison people regret that our Mr..
Pierce was not selected as one of the
delegates to the general conference
to be helh at Saratoga Springs, N. Y.
next year. Mr.. Pierce was handi
capped in way because the members
of the church on whom he depended
to aid him in his candidacy were un-
able to attend the conference on ac
count Of unavoidable engagements
here at home. Des Moines came into
the contest claiming two delegatGsl
and worked the game of politics 80
successfully that it won out. If sucl,
proceedings were employed in a po
litical convention there would be no
surprise, but they hardly seem appro-
pirate in a church conference. We
are pleased to know that his failure
was not the result OF anything OF a
personal character, but came about
through manipulations beyond his
control.
