"I want to say to you now, figuratively speaking, that there Is not a foot of the public waters of the State of Illinois that Is not In possession of either private Individuals or corporations wrongfully and without authority of law. So far as the City of Chicago la concerned, there Is not a foot of the shore line of Lake Michigan that has not been wrong fully encroached upon, except that occu pied by the public parks."

Tucson, the largest city of the territory and situated In Pima County, voted for adoption of the constitution and SM aaalnst. In Phoenix 1K9 votes were cast for ratification and 433 for rejection.

IN COMBATTING REBELLION. l'V )r eV-R Body of Relative of W. L. Scott Stolen From Mausoleum. RANSOM MAY BE ASKED Vault Broken Into at Krle Cemetery and Other Bodies Disturbed by Men Believed to Belong to Gang of Blackmailers. ERIE. Pa., Feb. 9. Graverobbers have broken into the mausoleum of the late Representative TV. L. Scott in the Erie Cemetery and stolen the body of Mr. Scott's sister-in-law, Mrs. J. A. McCollum. It Is believed to be held for ransom In this city by members of a gang which tried to blackmail the fam ily of Charlea H. Strong, president of the Erie & Pittsburg: Railroad, whose wife is a daughter of Mr. Scott. The crime is believed to have been committed between Monday and yester day afternoon. Jt was discovered yes terday afternoon by two women who were walking- In the cemetery. They found broken chains and open doors in the mausoleum and notified Mrs. Strong. It was then found that the seals which held the McCollum casket In the wall had been broken and the casket carried away In a wagon. Footprints of four and sometimes six men were traced to the cemetery gate. The seal on the niche containing- Mrs. Scott's body was broken and the casket halfway out. Mr. Scott's casket was not disturbed. Practically every other casket In the vault had been tampered1 with and two had been opened, one of the bronze doors of the mausoleum hail been pried off, the other had been badly battered and some palms had been broken. The Idea that the body of Mrs. Mc Collum is belns held for ransom by de signing' persons is substantiated by an Incident of two years ago, when the Strong family was stormed with Blaclt Hand letters, demanding $10,000. with the alternative of having their Summer1 home west of this city blown to atoms. Some of the perpetrators were subse quently apprehended and are now In the Western Penitentiary serving sen tences following conviction in the courts. Mrs. McCollum died In Philadelphia nearly 20 years ago. She was the wife of J. A. McCollum and daughter of John A. Tracy, of this city. William L. Scott, who built the mausoleum over 20 years ago, was a close personal friend of the late ex President Grover Cleveland, and was one of the leaders of the Democracy In the House of Representatives when Cleveland was serving his first term as President of the United States. Grover Cleveland was one of the pallbearers at his funeral. The Erie Cemetery Association has of fered a reward of $1000 for Information leading to the arrest and conviction of the ghouls.

USE OF MONEY CHARGED Cause of Gratification Found in Be lief That Men, Who Elected Him In First Place, Kallied to His Support. ' SEATTLE. Wash., Feb. 9. (Special.) Mayor Gill said tonight that he would turn over his office to George-W. Dill ing as soon as Mr. Dilllng qualified and presented himself at the City Hall. "If Mr. Dilllng comes in Saturday and asks for tho office. I shall turn It over to htm," said Gill. "Under the law the time for Mr. Dilling to take office Is February 20, but I shall not Insist upon that." Neither Dilllng nor his friends have the Inclination to hurry matters. When asked if he would be prepared to take office Saturday. Mr. Dilling said: "I feel It my' duty to qualify SaTur day. or as soon thereafter as conven ient to all concerned. A few days will not matter, and I shall not urge any undue haste. Council to Canvass Vote. "The City Council will meet tomor row night to canvass the election re turns and a statement will be given to the City Controller setting forth the results of the election. I prefer to take over the office of Mayor as. soon thereafter as possible." Earlier in the day Mr. Gill Issued the following signed statement: . "About one year ago I was elected to the office of Mayor, after having successfully competed for the nomina tion under the direct primary act. I Immediately ascertained upon the as sumption of my office that the price of my official tenure was the surrender of my official independence or a constant warfare with those whom I had defeat ed at that primary. I chose to be Inde pendent, and aa a result have been recalled. "While, in my opinion, the petition for my recall was fraudulently ob tained, and easily proved so, I surren dered what advantage that fact gave me and submitted to the result of an election called upon a resolution In plain violation of the city charter and tinctured with fraud and Illegality in its every step, even to the holding of it during unlawful hours. "It Is distasteful In some respects to surrender a position taken from me, as I believe it has been, by the un scrupulous use of a larger sum of money than has ever been used in any previous half a doxen campaigns In this city and by the use of methods which might well make a pirate blush. Being fully aware of my ability to hold my office throughout my term should I so desire, I, however, keenly realize the business depression which this ceasless agitation and newspaper war has caused to those who have so gener ously supported me heretofore and in the campaign Just closed the business interests of Seattle. Their interests are vastly superior to mine and only In deference to the welfare of the city, and in the hope that peace may re store prosperity, I shall on Monday, February 20, at noon (the earliest date on which I can do so with safety to my bondsmen), turn over the office to Mr. Dilllng. unless unforeseen con tingencies should arise. System Is "Un-American." "As to the effect of this action upon the cltv's finances and securities I can- ' not be held responsible, and can only hope that my action is for the city's best welfare. "No official, however well intentlon ed, no matter how rosy his views, can liold this office under the present un American system of government In this city, without surrendering his honor and his independence, or finding, as I have found it to be, his official robe a veritable shirt of Nessus. "In conclusion, I can" only say that individually I can regard the result of the election, in view of the , handicaps with which I contended financial, newspaper opposition and the mis understandings which existed in the minds of our new voters among the gentler sex as a vindication of my official acts. I was clearly re-elected by the votes of the men who elected me last Spring. I cannot criticise those who, in the brief time I was allowed In which to make a campaign, were misled, and I can only too inadequately with words express my thanks and gratitude to those men and women who. in the face of such overwhelming odds, went to the polls and cast their votes for me." , GREAT TASK IS BEGUN SOUTHERN" PACIFIC PIIEPABES TO DOUBLE TRACK ROAD. Second Track From Omaha to San Francisco to Be Completed Be fore Exposition Opens. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 9. (Special.) Southern Pacific attaches in the general offices In this city from clerks to general managers, including the force In the office of Chief Engineer William Hood, are engaged daily in the preparation of data and other details having to do with the purposed double-tracking of the road. Much work of this character had been dona in the local offices before the an nouncement made by President Lovett that the double-tracking would be fin ished by the opening of the Panama Pacific Exposition, but this announce ment has brought added work, for It is the understanding that the grading for the additional track is to begin Just as soon as the weather will permit. Of the 650 miles to be double-tracked between this city and Omaha, a consider able portion will come under the Jurisdic tion of the officials of this city. The task is a gigantic one, and to have the work completed by tho time the exposi tion traffic starts will require extraordi nary efforts. 9o far as information from the general offices in this city can be obtained, there has been no official announcement of tha exact' date on which the double tracking operations will be started. There is no doubt, however, that these Instruc tions will be received soon and, when they do come, the men in direction of the work at this end will bo ready to set the proceedings in motion without delav. To this effect every energy in 1 the general offices hen is being directed.

ROLLER CRUSHES OUT LIFE Handier Near Oljmpia Meets Terri ble Death V'nder Juggernaut. OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. . (Special.) -Well, father, I guess I'm done for this time." said H. O. Drewery, a logger and rancher, as his aged father hast ened to him after he had been run over by a heavy field roller while at work on his ranch about six miles south of Olympla Wednesday. Drewery was using the big roller In a field, when the shaft to the roller broke, and the horses becoming start led, ran away. The driver fell from his seat and before he could get out of the way the frightened animals had dragged the great piece of machinery over his body. He was still alive when picked up, but died before anything could be done for him. He was horribly crushed and bruised and many bones were broken. The accident is a most peculiar one, as the victim was literally flattened out. Death was caused by internal in juries. He is survived by a wife and two children. Fairbanks Asks for Postal Banks.
