No Kick Now on Oil Plant.
The Norfolk Oil and Chemical com
pany has made a friend of Constable
John Flynn , who only recently threat
ened to file a protest against that com
pany's building n factory near his property , -
orty north of the old brick yard. Mr.

went to Waterloo , la. , where the com
pany maintains a plant. Both Norfolk
men inspccted the Waterloo factory
before they disclosed their mission to
those in charge
They made a second visit during the

made their mission and identity known
and declared they were treated royal
ly. Mr. Flynn now declares lie has no
protest to make against the company's
building a plant near his property and
is positive it will not in any way de
crease the value of property in Its
neighborhood.
" 1 have no objection to the factory
bt'liig built now , " says Mr. Flynn. "I
jim perfectly satlsiied. There Is nc
smell or noise and the lire danger Is
slight. Waterloo is a fine city. We
wore called on by at least twenty-five
business men at our hotel. The mayor
of the city was among the first to call
on us. We visited the oil and chem

HANDS OFF THE HATPINS.
New York Aldermen Decide Against
Attempts to Regulation.
New York , Feb. G. The board of
aldermen decided yesterday by a vote
of 37 to 20 not to interfere , nay , not
to try to Interfere with the length of
women's hatpins. Tammany voted
solidly against any "meddling. "
Alderman Dowling , Tammany lead
er , said that he would favor the ordi
nance if ho believed that It would stop
tlio hatpin nuisance , but that ho be
lieved that "the entire police force ,
the national guard and all the battle
ships of the country" could not do
that. The way to cut off the hatpin
point , said Alderman Dowling , was to
get the legislature to pass a bill pro
hibiting the sale of long hatpins. The
ordinance would make the city appear
ridiculous.
"The next thing you'll be doing , " he
said , " will be to pass an ordinance
making a man wear carmuffs to keep
him from hearing an invitation to
drink. I'm no suffragette , but I don't
believe in passing a law prohibiting
a woman from keeping her hat on.
If It tot by the mayor , which I don't
believe It would , the courts would
overrule It. "

A POSTAL SHAKE-UP.
Hitchcock Finds Drastic Orders Were
Issued Without His Knowledge.
Washington , Feb. 6. Inefficiency ,
insubordination and mismanagement
have developed in the railway mail
service and is likely to result in an
upheaval in and perhaps in a reorgan
ization of the entire service. Post
master Hitchcock is thoroughly in
censed and makes no concealment of
his indignation.
Recently he lias been conducting a ]
personal Investigation. His inquiry is
not concluded , but the facts thus far
Indicate that its results are likely to
be drastic.
Rumors reached Washington from
several points that changes in leading
olfleers of the service were imminent ,
indeed. It was reported that resigna
tions of Second Assistant Postmaster
General Joseph Stewart and the chief
of the railway mail service , Alexan
der Grant , had been submitted to the
postmaster general.
It can be said on authority of Mr.
Hitchcock that neither of these offi
cials has resigned and that their resig
nations have not been called for.
Mr. Hitchcock expressed himself as
entirely satisfied with the administra
tion of the office of second assistant
by Mr. Stewart , for whom , personally
and officially he entertains a high re
gard , but ho expressed himself as
much dissatisfied with the manage
ment of the railway mail service , par
ticularly as respects the personnel of
the faervico.
His investigation , he Indicated , had
disclosed that orders had been Issued
by subordinate officers placing upon
the employes unreasonable and In
some instances humiliating burdens.
These were promulgated in the name
of the postmaster general , although ho
knew nothing about them until after
investigation.

MORRIS A COSTLY "HOPE. "
A Syndicate Buys Contract on Sapulpa
Giant for $25,000.
Kansas City Star : A contract on
a real "hope" 'Is worth something.
"Billy" McCarncy received a letter
from Sapulpa , Okla. , which informed
him that a trio of Oklahoma oil men
had bought the contract on Carl Mor
ris from J. B. Stone , his first and only
manager , for $25,000. Stone , It is said ,
had a fire years' contract on the
"hope. " The letter to McCarney didn't
say Just how much Morris was to re
ceive under his now management , but
he will have enough managers to keep
him busy.
"I know that the deal was pending
when 1 was in Sapulpa the other day , "
said McCarney. "They have paid $25 ,
000 all right for tlio contract on Carl.
They bought it simply for speculation.
Morris is to receive a monthly salary
and a percentage of all purses he
fights for. It means , however , that he
won't engage in any more lights for
six months. The men who paid the
big price for hs | contract are going
to hire the best Instructors in the busi
ness and give Carl six months to learn
the fine points of the game. If ho de
velops satisfactorily ho will be match
ed to fight Al Kaufman or some other
good man. If ho wins his first out
under his now management he will
be sent against Jack Johnson. How
ever , they don't intend to match him
against the negro for more than a
year. Outside of the $25,000 paid for
the contract , the oil men expect to
spend as much more on the 'hope'
developing him. "
McCarney said that if Morris devel
oped to the satisfaction of his man
agers ho could get backing for $100-
000 against Johnson.

MILK THE ONLY BABY FOOD.
New York Doctor Says Prepared Kinds
Don't Nourish.
New York , Feb. 6. Prepared food
for Infants and the men who malto
and advertise it botli came In for
criticism at the hands of Dr. Charles
G. Kerley , who told an audience at
the Child's Welfare Exhibit last night
that the mother who used the prepared -
pared foods according to directions
would bo sure in the end to have n
starved and unhealthy child.
"Many babies , " said Dr. Kerley ,
"have undergone a slow form of star
vation while eating daily from pre
pared foods , the labels of which show
ed pictures of rosy checked , crowing
infants said to be the foods' especial
products. Often the starvation could
not bo detected by the mothers be
cause the child would continue to ap
pear fat and plump. But the sad fact
has boon that it was overfed on sug
ars and received a serious deficiency
of fats and bone and muscle building
material. "
Dr. Korloy insisted that long prac
tice in infant wards of hospitals in
this city had convinced him that there
was no substitute for milk as a food
for babies.
