Engineer I L Rodstrom made the
record for an R4 engine Tuesday by
making a run from Akron to McCook
with 33 cars of stock at an average speed
of 35 miles an hour The books do not
contain a record of an accomplishment
equal to this and Engineer Rodstrom
has a right to feel pretty good over tho
fict The rules of the company do not
allow of a faster speed than 35 miles an
hour witn such engines and trains
which makes the run the more difficult
and praiseworthy as tho engineer hud
to make a smooth even run of it to av
erage tho 35 miles an hour for the entire
distance The time was 415 minutes

able assistance of Francis J Heney
the fearless prosecutor William J

four years of age He was a school
principal before he took up the law
and when he started in to break up
gambling after his first election as
district attorney on the Labor ticket
two years ago he was referred to as a
schoolteacher who didnt know the
difference between fan tan and old
maid But San Francisco has found
that the district attorney knows his
business He has jailed one of the
biggest gangs of grafters ever put be
hind the bars in this country and done
it when especially at the outset every
thing seemed to be against him When
he began his reform work he could
not get any money to carry it on be
cause the city administration under
Mayor Schmitz was opposing him It
was then that Rudolph Spreckels came
to the rescue In telling how this hap
pened Mr Langdon said
Rudolph Spreckels offered all the
money we wanted I asked him what
he wanted He told me nothing
When lie said he wanted nothing
the district attorney continued I ask-
1 Will you stick no matter where
1 this thing leads
j I will said he
I Even though it may touch the
Spreckels family
Even though it leads to my own
table
Well it did Among those indicted
is Cornwall Mullally engaged to be
