M.'NY FRANKS BY
HALLOWEEN PLAYERS"

Team work was put into operation
last night when an Essex touring car
stopped on the Arkansas river bridge
at Union avenue. Approximately IS
boys leaped out disappeared into the
darkness near the Missouri Pacific
freight depot and Immediately pushed
a large, heavy hand car out on the
street car track. In flash the car
load of boys had disappeared. A street
car appeared and the motorman and
conductor had to call on the male
passengers to assist in removing the
hand car before they could proceed.
This constituted one of the many
pranks played by the younger genera
ton of Pueblo last night in observance
of Halloween.
A dummy was placed on the street
night by q group of boys. At first
sight the motorman applied the emer-
gency brakes but quickly realized that
1t was some boyish prank, and pro-
ceeded. The fender of the car struck
the dummy. knocked it up in the air,
to be caught by the fender and car
ried along several blocks.
The street car tracks were the scene
of most of the tricks played. Tor
pedoes were placed on the tracks in
all sections of the city. When one
group Of boys We're engaged in mis-

another group had placed, and the re-
suit was remarkable. The first group
became frightened at the loud reports,
that they were the shots from
some ones gun.
A store window on East Fourth
street was plastered with soap by a
group OF youngsters but as they We're
applying the finoshing touches the
owner managed to captur part of
them and made them wash the win
dows. "A few minutes after the wash
ing was completed the boys ret1rned
with a bucket of black paint and ap-
piled, the same to the window with
their hands and made the job a sue
cess. They We're not recaptured and
the members could not be identified.
These are only samples of Halloween,
but every person will see some mark
of the celebration this morning as the
sun peeps over the back fence.

The task of changing the form OF
government in Pueblo and flood pre-
vention work at the same time is none
too great a one for this sturdy peo-
ple'. declared C. B. Greene, director
of industrial research for Dayton,
mortal Hall to a large number OF
Pueblo citizens. Mr.. Green's address
was illustrated with moving pictures
taken in and around Dayton at the
time of the great flood there in 1913,
Immediately afterward and thru the
past eight years up to the present
and showing the work of flood pre-
vention. Pictures of the various acti-
vities of the city under Its present
government the Commission Manager
form, giving its advantages were also
shown.
Mr.. Greene asked If the principles
of commission manager or city man
ager form of government were all
right for private business enterprises
why are they not all right for city
business. He said in private business
the idea is to make money while in
city business the idea is to render ser
vice. Mr.. Greene said his real mis-
sion in Pueblo was toNct in the capa-
city of a teacher. He said Pueblo
could under the city manager plan d9
the work it is now doing at less cost
or do more work at the same cost
Mr.. Greene said, "a central authority
in government makes for efficiency.
City manager government Is not an
experiment and is worth while. He
said that was the only type of gov
ernment in the cities of the United
States up to 1922, and that it Is the
nearest democratic, popular govern
ment there is and almost identical
with the government of the United
States. Two hundred and fifty towns
Ill ir, Init StafeS and
Canada operate successfully under the
commission manager form. according
to Mr.. Greene. He also stated that
the average salaries of all managers
in these same cities Is but $3,O41.
/ There are nearly 100000 people liv-
ing under this plan of municipal gov
ernment
In speaking of the floods Dayton
and the Miami Valley had suffered,
Mr.. Greene said the first of these was
as far back as 1905. when levees were
swept away, another In 1866. later in
SO and '9S and the last disaster visit
| ed that city and valley on March 26,
l1913 The business district of the
city of Dayton was under ten feet OF
water Within less than two months
after the 1913 flood 100000 was
| contributed by citizens of Dayton for
flood prevention fund. At the time
of flood the property loss was esti-
Ilidleu at S-''"VV'VVV.
It was at this time that the old
form of political government broke
down, and the manager plan adopted
but much study had been given 1t be-
fore that. The tax rate in Dayton on
$1,000 valuation Is but s25.60 now. II
formerly cost the city s12.72 per mile
f2r street sprinkling but now it costs
but s1.9s. Under presen plan two
water reservoirs have beet built and
r. third is under construction; streets
have been repaired; motorized fire
fighting apparatus is in use: the water
