ho would start back to New York to
attempt tho flight from New York to
Chicago.
One of Atwood's friends suggested
that tho president might make a short
flight with Atwood. But to the presi

PITTSBURG'S
NEW REGIME,
Business Men Now In Charge
of City.
FORMER COUNCIL IN JAIL
Party and Ward Politics Largely Abol
ishedThe Smoky City Is Goipg
Through a Transformation Now Seen
In Many American Cities.
Since tho overturning that landed so
many Pittsburg officials behind the
boss tho city Is now under a council
of nine. Tho new government has
been installed only a littlo znoro than
one month, but already the effects of
its policies aro felt Here is a char
acteristic sceno under tho new re
gime: Around a long directors' table on
nine deep seated offlco chairs aro ntno
of the city's leading citizens. At one
end of tho table is tho city's mayor,
and at tho other end aro officers of
tho city's commercial and civic bodies.
Porinlng a background and filling tho
large, high ceillngcd room aro sub
stantial citizens and taxpayers of tho
municipality. Near tho mayor stands
one of tho city's officers whoso duty
it Is to collect certain of tho public
funds. Tho question is directed to
him by one of tho nluo at tho table:
"Bad Business."
Tou collect millions of tho city's
moneys annually. What interest on
daily balances do you get for tho
city?"
"None," murmured tho officer in on
undertone
"What? None?" snapped tho man
at the table. "I don't call that good
business. It's bad business."
It was bad business, and it bad been
for thirty years or moro. But tho end
Is in sight. Pittsburg is about to put
a stop to this and many other unbusi
nesslike practices. Tho nine men at
the table are Pittsburg's now council
men, selected to Inaugurate a new
system of government in tho city.
This city, the hardest hit by tho last
business depression and for thirty
years ono of tho worst governed in
America, has taken on now life. Tho
millions to be spent in public work un
der progressive business direction will
attract other millions to private enter
prise. With a new spirit in public ad
ministration there is to bo a renewed
business movement Not in many
years have conditions in Pittsburg
been more hopeful. All is the result
of a few littlo amendments to the
city's charter by tho last state leglsUv
tUK.
Ward Lines Abolished.
Tho vital features of Pittsburg's
charter revision were the abolition of
two large councllmanlc bodies elected
by small ward divisions and tho substl
tution of one small legislative body to
be elected by tho city at large. Today
In place of sixty-seven little men
at one time 155 there aro nine big
men. Instead of twenty-seven minor
subdivisions with their petty interests
there is ono big city.
While tho Pittsburg plan aims to
give tho peoplo representative govern
ment it Is by no means a commission
form. Those back of tho charter
movement insist on this distinction,
believing that government by commis
sion would not be successful in a city
as largo as Pittsburg. Tho plan leaves
the mayor, who Is elected by tho peo
ple, practically undisturbed in his ex
ecutive powers, which are large. In
only two places does tho authority of
the council and the mayor overlap.
Tho mayor has the powor of veto, and
tho council has supervision over tho
mayor's appointments of department
heads. In other words, beforo any ap
pointment to ono of tho four executlvo
departments can bo mado by the may
or it must be confirmed by a majority
of the council. This body, too, can .re
move tho head of any departmont for
cause and also has under the law Juris
diction in an impeachment trial of the
mayor. Apart from these limitations,
however, as executive officer of tho
city tho mayor is supreme.
ELECTRIC FANS IN SENATE.
Attempt to Cool the Hot Air of the
Upper Chamber.
With four revolving electric fans
over their beads tho members of the
Benato recently entered tho fifteenth
week of the special session with more
than usual composure. Tho fans aro
of the "winding blade" variety, sus
pended by long tubes from tho high
celling.
"It looks like a beer garden," sug
gested Senator Bourne of Oregon, di
rectly over whoso head ono of tho air
circulators Bwung on a slender axis.
Heretofore senatorial dignity has
barred mechanical fans.
Automobile Digs Well.
It has been demonstrated time and
again that the automobile is not as re
liable as tho mule in drawing human
beings and freight over the desert wil
derness. However, tho auto has found
new service in tho sinking of desert
wells. H. P. Johnson has a desert
claim a few miles put of Banning, CaL,
and he set to work to get water. In
sinking tho well the auto is used to
hoist a bucket containing 200 pounds
of soil, and as the depth increases the
inoi will t Increased to 500 pounds.

A Startling Episode of the
War With Spain.
How do 1, so young, hold such high
rank in the naval service? Well,
there's a story about that but if It
got out it would ruin me. They say
some aro great some achieve great
ness and some have greatness thrust
upon them. I had it thrust upon me.
It was In the summer or 1SDS off
Havana. Hot? Well, it couldn't be
hotter except under a volcano. Just
the kind of weather for one to lie in a
hammock and smoke cigarettes. But
we had regular duties nil day. and
both day and night we didn't know but
that a Spanish torpedo boat would
blow us skyward. We never felt easy.
Every time any of us saw a launch or
a yawl in the distance we'd make as
much fuss as if a torpedo were under
our bows. Ever see one of 'em?
They're the ugliest things afloat Once
In an aquarium 1 saw the worst look
ing Dsn that swims, n hellbender, and
a torpedo boat always reminds me of
that fish compact low. black, all Iron,
the torpedo sticking out nt the bow,
the wholo vomiting smoke.
That" s what a torpedo boat is.
One night I was in charge of the
searchlight I shouldn't have been put
In charge, for I had been doing duty
in tho captain's launch all day. go
ing between tho ships of the fleet, and
was tired out However. 1 was on
wntch and kept tho light moving. One
of the men with mo was taken sick,
and I sent him below. Tho other 1
sent to the galley to get me a cup of
coffee. Ho stayed away long enough
to ball tho ocean, while I was left
alone with the light
When a man has been keeping ono
of those things moving till 2 o'clock in
the morning he is apt to get tired, and
when he's tired he's apt to get sleepy.
and when he's sleepy he's apt to go to
sleep. Even the great Parragut when
a little middy of ten years went to
sleep on watch, but ho didn't suffer for
doing so as a man would have to. The
officer who caught him took off his
pea Jacket and put it over him. I did
all I could to keep my mind fixed on
tho punishments prescribed for sleep
lng on watch in time of war, from
dismissal to hanging at tho yardarm.
but it didn't do any good. Tho first
thing I knew or, rather, didn't know
I was sound asleep. It makes my hair
curl today to think of it in tho United
States navy, looking out for tho most
dreaded cause for destruction known.
the ship, perhaps the whole fleet de
pendent upon my watchfulness, and
asleep at the searchlight!
Suddenly, I awoke. I gave a yell
and touched an electric connection, in
a few seconds moro tho wholo ship's
company came tumbling up tho com
panion ways, from the meanest Jackie
to the captain.
Now, what do you suppose was the
cause of my alarm? Right out in the
track of the searchlight, coming for us
like a shot, was something black. It
was moving so straight that I only
saw its bow, giving it tho appearance
of a round spot on tho water. Thero
was no smoke, and it must have been
literally riding the waves, for I could
not sco that it kicked up a particle of
spray.
Yon can imagine my sensations, but
not very perfectly. A moment beforo 1
had been asleep. What guardian angel
had awakened me? Suppose 1 had
slept a few minutes longer! Though
all this flashed on mo as I saw an In
strument of annihilation approaching,
my mind mado another picture which
I couldn't drlvo away myself banging
by tho neck at the yardarm.
Suddenly tho advancing torpedo boat
seemed to leave the water and start
for tho sky. It took.-mo Just two sec
onds to face tho glass, and there,
crawling upward on Its outer surface,
was a gnat! I had mistaken the shad
ow cast by tho little beast for n tor
pedo boat Here I was out of ono
scrapo and into another. I bad arous
ed tbo ship for nothing. Before I
could get back to my position In rear
of tho searcher tho captain himself
had caught hold of it and was turning
it about rapidly.
"What is it? Whero is it?" ho cried
excitedly.
"I tho fact is, captain you see"
Before I could tell him that I had
mistaken a gnaf s shadow for a torpe
do boat tho real thing stood out plain
ly under the searcher. There sho was,
the ugly black looking craft I have
described to you, coming for us, plow
ing tbo water into two fans, a dense
cloud of smoke pouring from tho
stack.
I tell you tho captain didn't wait for
anybody to repeat his orders, and in
less time than It takes to tell it a shot
had gone for that torpedo boat But
it wasn't needed. Tbo Spaniards, see
ing they wero discovered, turned ns
quickly as possible and showed us
their boat's stern.
Just as soon as the affair had quiet
ed down tho captain Btepped up to
mo and said:
"Mr. B.,you have done only your
duty, but there are times when sim
ply doing one's duty counts for a
great deal. By your vigilance you
have saved this ship, worth three to
four millions to the government, and,
what Is more, the lives of 450 men. I
shall report tbo matter to Washing
ton, with the recommendation that
you bo advanced ten numbers."
You could have knocked me dowu
with n feather.
