Keeps Governor Penned in Office
Without Lunch While He Lays in
Wait Below.
Springfield, H., Aug. 10.-Goyernor
Len Small, of Illinois, submitted to al
rest on charges of embeZzlement while
state treasurer, and accompanied
Sheriff Mester to the courthouse to
give bond
When MeSter and several deputies
arrived at the state house they waited
on the first floor of the building for
the governor to come out.
The sheriff waited in corridor lei
surely smoking a cigar. Both he and
the governor apparently were playing
waiting game. Governor Smalrs out
posts. stationed near the door, kept the
executive informed of the sheriff'S
movements, and members of the COVER
nor's cabinet and close political friends
paced the second floor corridor, wait
ing for the climax.
Sheriff Mester chatted with state
house acquaintances as he waited. The
governor remained in his office ANA
talked with friends. The lunch hour
passed with neither of the principals
making any move.
The situation developed into Il siege.
The sheriff went to the capitol build
ing. intending to serve the warrants
on Governor Small when he left for
the executive mansion for lunch. The
governor, however, showed no DISPOSE
ton to leave his Office. and the situa-
tion took on the appearance of war
strategy Many state house employees
remained in the corridors during the
lunch hour TO watch developments. The
governors secretary announced that
the governor was not goiI "ut {"
lunch and planned to leave iI!e capitol
not before five O'clock.
The sheriff did not take blank bonds
. with him TO the governors office.
We have given him IL chance t0
come over voluntarily and arrange his
bonds and he has refused" the sheriff
said.
Mester said he was not bothered by
the governors threat to sue him and
his hondSmen.
Il have "A good lunch and can walt
while Mester said, as he sat down
in comfortable chair
The sheriff explained his waiting
| policy by saying that technicalities
might be raised if the governor was
arrested at his desk While transacting
state business. George b. Gillespie,
one of the governors counsel. was
waiting near the door of the executive
office. The sheriff said he could wait
as long as the governor.
The case developed into Il question
of when to interrupt the governor in
the conduct of his official business. 70
similar situation has ever arisen IN
the history of American politics or
Jurisprudence, it was said Many
cameramen appeared To take pictures
of the scene.

BRAKE RODS REQUIRE
CAREFUL ATTENTION
Majority of Automobile Owners
Neglect Them.
Inspection Should Be Made at Least
Every Month From Pedal to Drum,
Particularly Parts Difficult
to Get At.

The brakes Of an automobile are
designed for efficiency and long life
if given proper attention, but because
it is inconyenient to clean and inspect
and lubricate them, the majority OF
auto owners utterly neglect them.
Every month or two there should
be an inspection Of the brakes from
pedal to drum, particularly the parts
that are out Of sight under the car
and difficult to get at, according to
H. Clifford Brokaw, Of West side Y.
NJ. G.. A. auto schools, New York city.
They should be cleaned Of mud and
gummed grease with Kerosene, oil
holes should be opened up thoroughly
and every part inspected for wear.
Small parts which are Worn may be
replaced for few cents and this
may prevent serious accident caused
by the brakes giving away at crit
ical time. The brake linkage Should
be fabricated in accordance with the
fabrication chart of the car with per-
sistent regularity. Brakes will work
easier, and give better service if they
are taken care of. Likewise they
should be kept adjusted so that they
work with equal force upon each
wheel. Uneven adjustment produces
undue wear on tires and is frequent
cause of skidding. The adjustment is
so simple there is no excuse for neg
lecting this.

CALIFORNIA TO GROW DATES
Possibility That That State May Be-
come Center of Culture OF Fruit
in the World.

Within a few years the Salton sea
basin, near mdio, Cal, may become
the center of the worlds date culture,
thanks to the efforts of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. For neary twenty
years the bureau of plant industry has
been endeavoring to procure shoots OF
the date palms which bear the fruit,
known commercially as the Sadly, or
Wahi, and Sewi varieties. So difficult
was the source of the splendid fruit
to trace that, up to 1913, only a few
shoots had been procurable. At that
time an. immense grove of 100000 of
the palms in the oasis Of Dakhla, Tunis,
was discovered.
Negotiations for the purchase OF
specimens having been satisfactorily
concluded, the collection of the shoots
was begun. That it was slow is ac-
counted for by the fact that tree puts
forth only twenty to thirty shoots dur
ing its lifetime. However, the collec-
ton was finally completed and the
work of setting out $500 of the young
trees will be started within the near
future.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

EASY TO DISTINGUISH TUNES
Even One Unfamiliar With Music Could
Tell the Difference by Listen
ing Close.

Two gentlemen from away back in

Louis cabaret and listened to the
chortling of q first-class, A No. jazz
orchestra. One of the gentlemen dis
played a lively interest in the music
being produced; from time to time he
even beat lively accompaniment with
his feet.
His companion displayed no such
interest; he actually appeared bored
by the proceedings. He apparently
could not understand the city's peculiar
music. At last he said to his friend:
Bill, whut tune is it them birds hev
been playin' all EVENING""
"Tunev' snorted Bill. "You pore
prune; they've played a millyun tunes.
Can't you tell one tune frum another?'
Gosh, no. They all sound alike to
me. How do you tell 'em apart?
