AUTO REPAIR CONCERNS
GOuGE. CITY. FOR Q I| MONEY MOI
Purchasing Agent Up In Arms
Against Exorbitant Charges

The city purchasing agent is up in
arms. He sent an order totaling four
dollars and fifty cents to local auto
repair concern for Overhauling of a mag
netO and air.pump in one of the police
department cars. The estimate of the
cost was made and noted on the order.
When the bill came for the work it
amounted to seventy-eight dollars and
seventy-fve cents. The purchasing
agent, thinking there had been a mis-.
take made in the order by the garage,
sent the bill back for correction and
then it was returned with an item for
seven dollars and seventy-fve cents
added to it, making the total eighty
six dollars and fifty cents, and this on
the order for four dollars and fifty
cents.
Purchasing Agent Weseott says that
this is one of the reasons why the city
could afford to spend $4,000 in a lump
for a city garage where all the work
on the municipal machines could be
done at an expense far below the
charges that are made for the same
work by the garages now Ratronized.

OLD FRICATF TO
BE PRESERVED AS
VENERATED RELIC
Announced That the Consti-
tuition, Most Famous of
American Warships, Is to
Be Rehabilitated.

Boston, Jan. 20.-Memories OF the
good old days of a century ago, when
the United States flag ruled the seas,
have been revived by the announce
ment from Washington that the famous
old frigate Constitution is to be re-
habilitated in order that she may be
preserved as a venerated relic for flu
ture generations.
'Old Ironsides." as the Constitution
is familiarly known in history, is the
most famous of all American warships
still in existence For nearly 90 years
past the ship has been tied up at the
Charleston navy yard, within a stones
throw Of the place where she was built
in 1877. Her greatest battle was
fought Aug. 10. 1872. on that date, in
command of Captain Isaac Hull. she
captured and destroyed the British
frigate Guerriere in 80 minutes, off the
New England coast. The American
loss was H. the British IS.
The Constitution was rebuilt several
times, but the original model, tonnage
and general appearance were preserved.
At one time the order to break her up
was given by the navy department, bat
it was withdrawn because of public
sentiment, largely due to the poem
"Old Ironsides," written at the time by
oliver Wendell Holmes.

GENERAL VILLA is
DECLARED OUTLAW

Washington. Jan. 20.-General Car
rama notified the Mexican embassy
here yesterday that he had formally
proclaimed Francisco villa, Pablo Lo-
pez and Rafael Castro outlaws because
of the massacre of American citizens
at Santa Ysabel.
Under the decree any citizen of the
republic Is authorized to execute the
outlaws without formalty. 1t says:
In view of the frequency with which
outrageous crimes are being committed
by bands of outlaws scattered in var
ious parts OF the republic. even after
the annihilation of the armies of the
reacfionaries by the Constitutionalist
forces, | believe the situation thus
created calls for the extremity of en-
ergetic measures of suppression in
order that such crimes shall be met by
severest punishment of those respon-
sible for them.
in view o. the recent attac' on a
railroad train near Santa Ysabel, Chi
huahua, by bandits led by Rafael Cas-
tro and Pablo Lopez, members of the
forces commanded by Francisco villa,
under whose orders they were operat-
ing, and in accordance with the pre-

FIGHTING AGAIN IN MONTENEGRO
Tragedy in Jekyll-Hyde Romance;
I'm Paying PRICE, Says Churchman

Joliet, H., Jan. 20.-John Robart,
owner Of the Joliet Welding company.
is nghting for his life in ST. Joseph's
hospital with a bullet at the base of
his brain.
he said haltingly as he gasped for
breath. "If l live. I'm going back to
my wife and kids"
on a slab at the morgue lies the
body of Mrs. Lillian F'yfer, whom all
Joliet knew as Mrs. John Robart. She
had killed herself after shooting Ro-
bart in his office on one of the main
streets
The Wages of Sin.
Pinned to her corset they found a
note breathing the same tragic phil
osophy that was the burden of Ro
bart's words:
"The wages of sin and deception is
DEATH
The tragedy brought to light a
Jekyll-Hyde romance which Is the
most surprising social sensation in
Joliet's history. For seven years Mr..
and Mrs" Robart have been con-
spicuous in church work. Mr.. Robart
was an usher in the Ottawa Street
Methodist church. His wife" taught
in Sunday school. Both were particu-
lar friends of the pastor, the Rev. Err
nest Wray O'Neal, They entertained
at their home at 214 John street. They
were looked upon until the last few
days as a devoted and happy couple.
His Trade National.
Robart had built a fine business. His
trade in wagon and automobile trim
mings, castings and accessories cover
ed the entire country. He was credited
with n modest fortune.
Mrs" Robart went to visit her fam
lily in Virginia last June.
Robart went one night to a Chicago
theater In the chorus he saw for the
first time Elsie Buerlein, prettiest and
shapeliest among the dancing nymphs.
few days later he met her in Joliet.
She announced her retirement from
the footlights and told him she was
going to live with her mother at Rock
dale, a fashionable suburb Every
morning found Robart a welcome Wis
itor at the home of the former beauty
of the stage.
His romantic affair with Miss Buer-
lein was at its height when Mrs" Ro-
bart returned. She found her home
broken up the furniture gone, the
house rented to another. She went to
her husband. AS the story goes. he re-
fused to give her back her money-he
would have nothing to do with her.
When Tragedy Settles.
Thrown on her own resources, Mrs"
Robart became a waitress at the
Woodruff inn, where she served many
of the friends of her church circle she
had known in the days of her prosper
ity.
On New Years night Mrs" Robart
was on her way to church when she
met Robart walking arm in arm with
the other woman.
II will kill both Of you," Mrs" Ro-
bart screamed.
