UHlUIHttlHSI DAY OF Street Lights Go Out During the Worst Part oj Storm, Making the Streets Very Dangerous. (Continued from Page One.) practically out of commission. The lines of this city were damaged but slightly. Street Lights Go Out. Two circuits of 'the street lighting system of the Municipal plant were burned out. One was the circuit south of Main street and another was one of the Main street circuits. However, Nlmrod Johnson, superintendent of the city plant, deemed it best to turn all of the street circuits out, fearing that Ids wires would becftme tangled with Vires of other companies and that Worse damage might result In case the CSher circuits were not turned out. Supt. Johnson stated this morning that the damage to the city plant would amount to about $100. 'After the city street lights were turned out pedestrians were afraid to walk on the sidewalks because of the number o.f limbs which were falling. Umbn of trees nearly a foot In diameter fell on the sidewalks. Several persons reported narrow escapes from being struck as they walked under the bending trees when the limbs snapped. The fallen limbs were the real cause for such a large number of wires being broken. In some parts of the city the icecovered limbs were broken off so rapidly that residents declared it sounded as if a bombardment was taking place. In the South Tenth Street park many of the best trees were a M . i . mm 1 mica, a urge numuer oi iimui were broken from the trees in Glen park nd smaller parks also. The rain began about B o'clock in the afternoon and fell In sheets for several hours. At that time the temperature hovered near the freezing mark, but shortly after began to go up. A PITIFUL STORY RELATED BY MATT Resisted Constable When the Latter Was Removing Household Goods. , . Admitting he had. fallen victim to his appetite for drink , Ed Hlatt, 539 North Seventeenth street, .arraigned In police court this morning on the charge of assault and battery, pleaded for his wife and children's sake to be reieasea. tie naa attempteq to stop a constable who was moving his household goods from the home. Hlatt ex plained he had been rendered desper-1 ate by the thought of the effect It would have pn bis wife who is ill, if he and his family were forced to move, nd when the complainant in the case, Ben Crump, started to throw chairs out of the' house, he wrested one chair from him. ' Hlatt has four children, from three to thirteen years old, and the stork Is expected again soon. The man pitifully stated that he had been unable to secure money to pay the rent. . "Had you not been drinking?" demanded the prosecutor, and then Hlatt his hat fumbled and twisted into a . shapeless mass by his nervous hands, admitted that he had drank heavily, but pleaded that be had worried until this course 'was all that gave him relict Hlatt said that he only had until tomorrow noon to secure another dwelling and move. . - Mayor Zimmerman 'after giving Hlatt a severe lecture, had him locked vp until this afternoon when he was released under suspended sentence. Hlatt was prosecuted under an assault and battery charge, although he could have been arraigned on the charge of resisting an officer, the fine for which Is from $100 to $10,000 and a jail sentence, to be added at option, of one year in the county jail. Hiatt promised he would reform. OPPOSED TO PARDON Instead of asking the governor for pardon for Roy Combs, the wife de serter, who is now serving a jail sen tence on a desertion charge, it is prob able action may be taken spon to have the children placed in families where they' will be well taken care of, for the authorities do not believe much good would be accomplished by releas ing the man. He has had several chances to straighten up and live with his family and provide for them, but has not taken advantage of his oppor tunities. The authorities think it would be better to give the wife an opportunity ,of caring for herself, by providing comfortable homes for the children, and making the man serve cut his sentence In jail, which will not be up for about 150 days. Mrs. Combs is now working In a private home, sup porting herself snd children as tar as possible. DR. B; McWHTNNEY Phyddan end Scnrecn Office Gennett Theater Building ' : North A 8treet.'

The HIGH EFFICIENCY AVERAGE IS MADE Over 500,000 efficiency tests were made in 1911 by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the reports made pub- j lie today show that - the employes have a record of 99.7 per cent, perfect. Efficiency testa at one time called surprise tests as conducted on the Pennsylvania railroad cover a wide j range of subjects, such as "conformity . to speed regulations," "observance of ; all kinds of signals," "leaving or ar riving ahead of time," "car doors not properly closed," and many others of a similar nature. Tests are conducted by division officials of the railroad, who at unusual times and places, check up employes in their work, to see that all rules and ' regulations are obeyed. Failure to ob- j serve any of the rules regarding the

Repre sentative Underwood sprung a sur prise in the house today by introducing a bill revising the wool schedule along the identical lines of the attempted revision of the last session. The so called Underwood bill, which was agreed upon by the Democrats of the ways and means committee provides a twenty per cent ad valorem duty on raw wool and an average re duction of 42 per cent on the various grades of manufactured wool. The bill introduced today by Mr. Under wood, is the same bill, word for word, which passed the house at the last session, amended by the senate and later vetoed by the president.

OVERFLOW MEETING GREETSJOOSEVELT Ex-President Enthusiastically Received in New York Last Night.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, March 21. The President is not to rep)y at this time to the speech made last night by Col. Roosevelt in New York. The President and his political advisors declared today that nothing could be of more assistance to President Taft's campaign for re-nomination than CoL Roosevelt's speeches. NEW YORK, March 21. In the first speech of the campaign for the Presidential nomination Colonel Roosevelt last night contrasted his position with that taken by President Taft. The real issue, he said, was whether the American people should govern themselves. Colonel Roosevelt's speech was de livered before a crowd which filled Carnegie Hall. So many persons wishthe same building. The street In front ot the ball contained a throng of per sons who were unable to gain 'admis sion to either meeting. Colonel Rooseveit was received with marked entbu 6iasm. President Taft's recent speech at Toledo was referred to several times by Mr. Roosevelt, who devoted a large part of his remarks to a reply : "Mr. Taft again and again, in quotations I have given and elsewhere through his speech," said Colonel Roosevelt, '.'expresses his disbelief in the people when they vote at the polls." He asserts that the President's po sition was that "we have in this country a special class of persons, wiser than the people, who are above the people, who cannot be reached by the people, but who govern them and ought to govern them." Colonel Roosevelt Bald that this was "the old, old doctrine," which has "tended to create a bulwark for special privilege." Right of the People. "This doctrine is to me a dreadful doctrine," said the speaker, "for its effeet is, and can only be, to make the Courts the shield of privilege against popular rights." The speaker said in part: , trine; but they show their real beliefs by the way in which they champion every device to make, the nominal rule of the people a sham. "I have Bcant patience with this talk of the tyranny of the majority. Whenever there is tyranny of the majority I shall protest against it with all my heart and soul. But we are today suffering from the tyranny of minorities. It 4s a small minority that is grabbing our coal deposits, our water powers and our harbor fronts. A small minority is fattening on the sale of adulterated foods and drugs "It is a small minority that stands behind monopolies and trusts. Jt is a small minority that staftMs behind the present law of master and servant, the sweat shops and the whole calendar of social and industrial injustice. It is a small minority that iS today using our convention system to defeat the will of the majority of the people in the choice of delegates to the Chicago convention. The only tyrannies from which men, women and children are suffering in real life are the tyrannies of minorities. $1 A WEEK makes the path clear for putting a VICTOR Into your home.
