Assistant Engineer Donovan was frequently congratulated upon the capture of the boys who are said to have worked so much mischief.
These boys, however, had no keys, their operations being performed by means of a wire introduced into the box The false alarms turned in from boxes found closed are supposed to have been turned in in this way. There have been false alarms where the boxes were found open.

Second Day's Session and an Organization A Constitution Adopted and an Ad joornment Sine Die.
5 The Convention of Beal Estate Agents re eumed its session at the St. Charles Hotel, at lt w'cKm yesterday morning, with Mr. J. Young in tbe rhair. Mr.
Howrott moved that a committee of five on permanent organization be appoint ed. Canted. Messrs. Msseie of Texas. Griggs of Vis Miun, Glrsrdey ot Louisiana, Collier of Ar kansaa aud Davidson of Alabama were ap rx luted on the eommittee.
Mr. (iirardey called upon Mr.W. L. Griggs, of Kirksville, for an explanation of tne and shspe of tbe proposed association, as he bad been the originator of tbe idea, air. Griggs had traveled all the way.
although ill. in order to attend the Convention, and only arrived shortly before yesterday morning session. Mr. Griggs said that there waa not a trade or lu ofeseion in the commercial world, the members of which were not organized into a brotherhood. The real estate men of this country represent tbe largest and most valuable of all interests.
it is an interest which in its ramiaeations encompasses all values. lir iniercstf repiesented by those present smonntto miuiuns. time ana again nave u. sought to devise an organization which would engender eo operation in tbe real ea tfcte btttit eee. TbeM sttempts had so far failed.
State organizations had endeavored to etioompa the same object in order to promote greater etbeieucy aud enhance the value of itsrealevtateiuterests. What ta wanted is a national organization subject to eertaiu rules and regulations. It is tbe aim to have none but honorable men in the association. to exc lude every rascal, and to publish any isetal whq may be developed within the association. Thia will give a true respectability to The business which will entitle it to consideration everywhere.
It is desired that when an investor goes to a place that find an agent who will carefully guard bis interests; thatwnen a man steps into the office of a real estate agent he shall know that the agent is a member ot an organization which holds him to strict account. For such an organization honest wide awake men are needed, who will hesitate at no opposition. The idea is to have a permanent organization with regular officers, and that annual meetings be held at some point to be The co operative influence, of such a union will be felt perceptibly, financially and energetically within and without the organization. '4 ho speaker said that he lived in Missouri. If a client of his, for instance, de Mied to invent in Lonisiana, ho would look over his association liat and would have no hesitation in intrusting his business to any of the names appearing under the State heading.
He would know that they belonged to an organization which guarantees that he will be fairly and honorably dealt with by Its members. Every agent has sn interest in such an organization. Iis not undertaken In a spirit of phllantropy toward the whole world, it is the lorkets of the members which will be benefitted, bnt tbe benefits will be legitimate and honorable. When the letter heads of tbe members are sent out, bearing tbe name of the association, it is desired that they be so esteemed that every hanking institution in the country can indorse them. Such an association will seenre emigration, carry an influence wherever it goes and give its members business respectability.
Until such an association exists the real estate agents will stand on the earbstone of the great eom mercial world grasping every precarious nickel. Mr. W. Massle, of Texas, said that on the day previous the representatives of hi State and of one or two others had met and discussed the best interests of the real estate agents of their particular sections. The main questions were the rate of commission to be charged and tbe manner of admitting members in tbe future.
It is deemed necessary that eaeh State adopt a ceniinisfcion, so that members will know exactly what rates will be charged when they write to other States. As to members, there should either be investigating commit tee for the entire association, the application ebeuld be recommended by some State representative, or it should come through Mm channels to be deserioed. Ho unworthy msn is desired, but men are wanted to give the association standing. Tbesn are tbe views of Kansas, Arkansas and Texas. Mr.
at. A. Shepard. of Illinois, spoke of the imiortanee of selecting; members who could be upon. A great deal eon Id be saved by a member if he bad reliable correspondents all over the company.
It is important to have men who will sell at tbe. prices they are tokl to take. Overcharging and euch dealing would not exist if there was an association which would hold each member personally accoan table. This forms the responsibility in organizing the association, and it is hoped that a true and honorable brotherhood will be established, and that it will assume a tangible shape which will result in benefit for sU. The opportunities for investment in the South are very g'eat, and capital will be attracted to it by means of this very association.
There is nothing like doing business honorably and misleading nobody. Mr. Kouinsos, of New Orleans, said that no uniloi rate could be established in New Orleans, as the supply was greater than the demand, and such a rase would only work to the disadvantage of agents who were members of the association. Mr. Grigs said that it was utterly impractical to fix a national rate.
of commission Local members will determine that. All tha association wanted to know was that its members were apostles of the right stripe. This would enable the members of tha association to deal with Europe through means of no Exchange, but the organization, and through this channel inflaeaea large amounts of capital. The members of the association will then handle a great deal uf capital which now remains in the banks. i Col.
F. M. Murphy, of Arizona, said that the association will undoubtedly have a jour naLand the members will identify themselves with tbe organization in their letter heads. The association will be able to afford protection to all parties. While no national rate can be fixed, the association can investigate any ease of unfair treatment and.
if proved, make matters unpleasant for the de unquent. Chairman Young presented apian of organization he had drawn up. The association la to promote acquaintance and confidence and win tbe confidence of the general public who desire to obtain reliable channels for investment. There Is to be a board to. examine grievances and to try members against whom charges are preferred.
In case of failure to try charges the piose cutor to pay expenses or be himself expelled. The eomnusslons are to be paid direct by the party for whom the business Is none, and in case of dispute the matter is to be appealed to the tribunals of the association. There is to be no charge for questions unless time or money Is expended for imparting information. Persona can become members by sending their names with reference if found in good standing and re liable, after due notice being published and advance money paid. The Comuuttee on Organization was then aven time to report.
Fifteen minutes later "the committee, through Chairman Massle, reported that for the purposes of permanent organisation all real estate agents present be recognized as members ot the Beal Estate Association of the Lnited States that the officers be a president, a vice president from eaeh State and Territory, a secretary and treasurer.
