SEVESAL OF COUNCIL NOT NEXT
lay They Have Troable Eaoagkt
Without Taklas Oa Anything;
a Big asThls Fropo
sltlon.
Persistent ri'mor of an effort on the
part of the city council to Impeach Andrew
Rosewater,. city engineer, for alleged mal
feasence In office have reached that of
ficial, but lie receives the report In an un
perturbed and unruffled manner and say
that If the council wants to Institute im
peachment proceedings he Is ready and will
tight back, being confident of ultimate
victory.
"I am wholly, within the law and Impeach
ment proceedings can not possibly stand.
no matter In what way they are brought
or on what point," ays Engineer Rose
water. "I am ready for anything that
come and will fight them at every turn
of the game, and will win, and that, too,
without hiring a lawyer. I know that many
of the councilman want me removed; they
take exception to my rulings and my
authority, but I am wholly In the right and
I will stand on my rights. The law gives
me the authority to draw plans and speci
fications for sidewalk construction, where
this whole trouble starts, and says nothing
about tha council approving."
City Attorney Burnam ha heard the
rumor, but p aces no faith In them, be
lieving that matters will rest where they
are until It Is seen what action the engi
neer takes OH the demand to be made on
him by th city attorney for the furnishing
tha council with the original plans and
specifications for Its approval.
Burnam Think Him Wrong;. '
"On many questions I am with the en
gineer and believe he 1 right," say Mr.
Burnam, "but I believe in this sidewalk
question he Is wrong and should send his
plans and specifications,- the originals, to
the council for Its approval. I further be
lieve that when proper demand for them
Is made he will send them to th council,
but If he does not, then,' and the city
attorney would go no farther.
The engineer, on the other hand, says
the courcll has copies of the plan for It
"perusal" and that Is sufficient, and that
the originals should remain in hi of tic
for the Inspection of bidders.
It is said that several councilmen had
a meeting Wednesday to plan th Impeach
ment proceedings, but no member of that
august body will confess to having been
at the reported conference. Councilman
Bridges, McGovern, Brucker and Zlmman
all profess Ignorance of the matter, Mo
Govern saying that the council ha enough
trouble without looking for more and add
ing that ha believe the city engineer will
"come across" with the plan and specifi
cations at the next meeting.

J. Roomer, who drives a delivery wagon
for the Kosher meat market. Sixteenth and
Cuming street, waa hanging a chunk of
meat on a nail provided for that purpose
on the back porch of A. Holland' home, 647
South Twenty-fifth avenue, about 4 o'clock
Friday morning. The piece of meat slipped
off and fell to the floor. "Roomer stooped
to pick it up. At th same moment he
heard a vole from th kitchen window.
It was a gruff vole and it commanded blm
with a number of coarse oath to be gone.
Roomer stood not on th order of hi
going, but went at ones on th run at top
speed, leaped upon hi delivery wagon
waiting In front and did not atop until h
was beyond gunshot Th man fired on
hot after him.
Later Roomer ventured to call up th
home of Holland and asked why they had
attempted to tak the Ufa of an tnoffen

deepened, for the Holland had been
wrapped tn slumber and - had Vawakened
later to find that a thief had gon through
th house and It was evidently he who
shot at the dellveryman. Detective Maloney

SENSATION AWAITED HEM FRIDAY
English Nobleman Left Him Title
and Small Estate and Kansas
Cltyans Give Him the
Laugh.
St. Lawrence Chandler, traveling sales
man for Armour & Co., awoke at the Rome
hotel Friday morning and walked to the
news stand to get a paper from Kansas
City, which he confessed was his home.
and in the paper he learned that he Is to
be the Duke de Llvlston by adoption, Claude
Ashley Anson Penlee de Llvlson of Eng
land conferring the honor on the salesman
because Chandler was at one time hi
benefactor.
Mr. Chandler had letters from the duke
at his home In Kansas Olty, but kept the
matter quiet, as he says. "I'm a good
American of course I will be glad of the
honor done me by the English nobleman
but I am an American Just the same, and
live in Kansas City I don't want the fel
low to think I am swelled up."
And with this Mr. Chandler turned over
tha Kansas City paper to read a long
Interview with his wife and see a drawing
of the arms of the duke of Llvlston, which
appeared on the papers and a parchment
which tho duke had forwarded, to Mrs.
Llvlston.
To say that the traveling salesman was
Indignant at the distorted Interview which
the Kawtown paper published and the
"breexy" way In which they painted a
traveling man becoming a duke waa putting
it mildly.
"The story about the appreciative Eng
lishman leaving me some property and tha

title Is true, of course, but I don't ap
preciate the fact that I am held up to
ridicule by Kawtown papers. It will not
make any difference in my way of living

Meets Duke In Chicago.
"Four years ago I met the duke of Llv- j
iston in Chicago. He was very 1111, and as
he was over 80 years of age. In bad shape.
Worse than that, he was tn financial dif
ficulties because of maturing mortgages.
What I did for him I did because I felt
he was an honast, deserving man and hud
the goods to show that he was Just what I
thought him to be.
"Some time ago I received notice that
the British government had given permis
sion for my adoption as the son of the
duke of Llvlston, with the title "Marquis
of Eckersly, Earl of Penlee and Raron of
Salem." Of course. It will be the Duke of
of Llvlston at the death of the old English
man, which we do not anticipate for many
years, as he Is In better health now and
enjoying his estate in Derbyshire, Eng
land." Mr. Chandler was born in Canada and his
name, "St. Lawrence," testifies to where
he was born. The estate in England Is
called "Depe Dene," and Mr. Chandler
says he has the will of the Duke of LivUton
and official papers at his home to show
how th dukedom- was established In
France and transferred to England, the
arms remaining In the French armory.
Book on heraldry and Crosier' general
armory give Clause Ashley Anson Penlee
the right to bear arms, but say that the
transfer to adopted sons has been rare, the
British government refusing many times
to grant the permission.
