NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-1 1 i pro
bable tbnC art office unique In the his
tory of American cities will toon be
created here-nothlng lcm indeed than
that of Superintendent of Municipal
Automobile. The city government
but outstripped sit competitors in
hi use of the auto until today it it
the possessor of an even hundred
icif -propelled vehicle "to cxpediate
the administration of municipal mat
ters." The number become doubly
remarkable becaune of the fact that
the city which now is the largest mu
nicipal owner of autos In the country
had none at all five yean ago. While
Father Knickerbocker bai thus shown
his progressively the. suspicion hai
risen that the all pervading graft is
not entirely ibtent In thii matter. The
hundred machine are carried on the
city's) books at cost valuation of
$260,030.38, the cars ranging in price
, from $500 in the case of the smallest
to tho rather surprising maximum of
$6500 for the largest. It is not, how
ever, the initial cost which is creat
ing the trouble but the bill for "re
pairs and depreciation." The , city4
garage bill now aggregates $.100,000 a
year which nu-an that more money
is charged annually to the repairs of
each machine than its original cost.
In addition to this the yearly depre-
elation is estimated it fifty percent
Altogether Father Knickerbocker Is
finding his auto t a very expensive
luxury' and since It is believed that
much of the expense is pure graft
New York may shortly have a Su
perintendent of its automobiles. Un
doubtedly the office would prove un
popular, as one of the first duties of
its Incumbent would be to stop' the
use for private purposes of the city's
machines, ' ' ' '

Body Recognizable After Being In
Water For Long Time.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-A dispatch
to the Tribune from, Kenosha, Wis.,
says; ' -
The body of John Cillett, formerly
probably the best known man in Ke
nosha and a son of the late Judge
Guedin Cillett, who disappeared Ik
January 14, 1207, wes found in tl
Kenoiha river yesterday. It is evi
dent Cillett walked into the river on
the night of hh disappearance and
was caught in the refuse at the bot
tom of the stream and held there. The
river is filled, with .tar from the gas
works and with acids from a large
tannery and these served as a pre
serving fluid to such' an extent that
notwlthsandifig the fact that the body
had been in the water for nearly two
years, it was still possible to recog
nize the features. '
