Commissioner of Public Improve
ments GrtstHeasons for Move.
DID NOT GIVE CITY FULL TIME
Bays Ife Fonnd One of the Men
Working- Dnrlns; the Dar In the
Office of One of the Pav
ing Contractors.
Thomas McOovern, city commissioner of
public improvements, has dlnchorged his
chief draftsman, Harry E. Cotton, and a
field engineer who has been In the de
partment for twenty-seven yesrs, Malan
J. Lacy, The two employes received no
tice Thursday that their services with
the city woutl be terminated November L
The entire city engineering department
will probably be reorganized.
Thomas McOovern sold:
"I gave my employes to understand that
I would not tolerate any man who worked
for contractors on city time. I found
Mr. XjRcy In Hugh Murphy's office When
he ought to have been on the job. The
dilatory tactics ot these men amply Justi
fy the action I have taken."
Other cmpldyes of the department are
quaking with fear for their Jobs. The
force Is working at a pace more rapid
than was ever seen before.
City Wants Knll Time.
"I talked the matter over with my em
ployes October i," said McOovern, "and
gave them to understand again that they
would be expected to devote their entire
time, during the working day, to the city.
These Instructions wero disobeyed."
Sine McGovern came Into office there
have been frequent changes In the office
and field force, beginning with the dis
charge of Inspectors and' engineers, whom
the commissioner deemed "unnecessary."
'It Is my duty to the public to ketp
men on the payroll who are willing to
work for their salaries," McOovern con
tinued. "I went Into this office deter
mined to do my duty and It have done It
and Intend to keep on doing It."
Lacy, It Is understood, has been offered
good positions with private corporations
In yearn past. He Is now scout I rig for a
position.
Cotton has been draftsman In the en
gineering department for several years.
His first Intimation that he was to be
let out came when McOovern Informed
him that he had failed "to do his duty."
MoOovern nas hot selected successors
to Lacy and Cotton. He Is. It Is under
stoodconstderlng further changes and
will report his desires to the city com
mission about the first of the month.
Not Liable for Any
Message that May Be
Written by It Agents
He who wants to send a telegram and
desires to hold the telegraph company
liable In cane the message is wrongly
seat, must either present the message In
writing or telephone It If he tells an
operator to write the message ho does
so at his own risk.
This Is the law as set forth by District
Judge Leslie In Instructions to the Jury
In a caso Just tried. "The courts have
held," safi the Judge, "that when a per
son tells an operator to write a message
ha makes the operator his own agent
Son the purpose; that It Is not within
tho scope ot the company's business to
writs messages for patrons. It is bound
to transmit them. Blnce the affiliation
of the telegraph and telephone compan
ies, the rule has been changed to make
the corporation responsible , for the ac
curacy ot messages teiepnonea xor trans
mission. In such a case It Is a mat
ter for proof whether the patron or tho
company made the mistake."
DENVEn. Colo., Oct 24.-A lone bandit
running amuck near the heart of the city,
shortly after midnight held up five pedes
trians within a few blocks, shot and In
stantly hilled T. J. Chase of Talmer
Lake, Colo., and mortally wounded E. A.
Clark of Denver. The bandit fled before
the chase of an automobile full of de
tectives, who traced the murderer from
tho scene of one holdup to anotther only
to arrive too late.
The shooting began at Twenty-third
and Welton streets, when the bandit held
up Antonla Fugorls. a street sweeper,
sending a bullet through his hat The
next victim was an East Indian, whose
name has not been learned.
A few minutes later E. A. Clark slag
gered Into a drug store with a bullet
through his right lung. Four blocks,
away T. J. Chase met his fate. Without
a word the bandit pierced his heart with
n bullet
Halt an hour laten, Arthur Herbst,. a
moving picture operator was. held up at
Twentieth and Bherman streets and re
lieved ot a watch and some change. Tho
bandit left him with' this parting In
junction! "Go easy, now: I've shot two
already."
This series of holdups coming immed
iately after the tramway holdup and the
plundering of a saloon last night, is giv
ing the police, much concern.
Bank Outsiders
Spoil Their Plot
A couple of rank outsiders spoiled a
nicely planned Joke on Robert Cahlll, a
Crelghton arts cotlego student, Wednes
day evening, and Cahlll was looking for
the perpetrators yesterday with blood In
his eye.
Late Wednesday evening Cahlll re
ceived a telephone call asking him to
come to a restaurant at Twenty-fourth
and Cuming and work, As he has been
working at that place, Cahlll- thought
nothing of the request especially when
It was told him that the proprietor was
sick.
In order to reach'' the place, he was
forced to go through the cut along Twenty-fourth
street leading from California
to Burt streets. This passage Is bounded
on the west by a high concrete wall and
on the east by a high cloy bsnk. Tho
plotters were safely hid, awaiting Ca
hlll's coming, when two unknowns ap
peared. The students explained their
somewhat doubtful appearance .by telltng
that a Joke was In progress. The strang
ers passed on.
Boon Cahlll came Jauntily along, whist
ling and carefree. He was halted with
a rude shock, however. But It was by
no means as severe as that received by
the "holdup" men when the strangers,
wtiom thny thought at a distance, came
charging back, one of them with a drawn
gun. The highwaymen broke and fled,
and Cahlll was saved from a great deal
of "roasting" by his fellow students.
At present the robbers are keeping In
hiding. ,

"THE FOLLY OF THE HAGUE"
By Bear Admiral Alfred T. Mahan.
If "War is Hell," how avoid it? The camps of statesmen throughout tho civil
ized world are divided on the answer our two living ex-presidents are exponents of
opposite solutions to this momentous problem! Can a nation's honor be arbitrated
successfully, lastingly? Is disarmament tho herald of peace among nations! "In
time of peaco, prepare for war," is an old adage, but in this enlightened ago, we
should heed tho nobler admonition In time of peace, prepare for peace. How? Rear
Admiral Mallan asks ad answers this question in his masterful article. "Tho Folly
of The Hague."

nothing undone-to promote his welfaro physically and mentally, be '"surrounded by
dangers equally as grave as his stigmatized brother? H. Addington Bruce 's article
is extremely interesting and educating to all parents,
