SH!!XE A MIGHTY DUO 1MEBB Council Gets a Little Peevish Atlhe Roving Ice Cream Merchants.

NEWMAN HILL FOLK SAD

Life of Russian Murderer Saved by Wife of President

ROAD IS 80 BAD CANT GET THEIR GOODS DELIVERED OTHER ROUTINE MATTERS UP BEFORE . COUNCIL. ''.'' -''V eseMBauUBSUS) lee cream cone venders, also pop corn, peanuts and candy merchant who have their stands on the street corners will probably be ordered to take oat a peddler's lieense or else stop selling their produce. Councilman Williams referred the matter to council and the board of works. Being; unnaturalized and transients they come under the sections of the peddlera' ordinance. Of late there have been a dozen or more Italians and Greeks pushing carts over the city, ringing bells and seHing ice cream cones. Considerable complaint has been made about them by residents in different parts of the city. Whether it is permissible for a merchant to build, or grant the privilege to another to build, a permanent stand on a side street adjoining his store is a ruestlon which City Attorney T. J. Study will report on next meeting night. Councilman Bartel seems to have something up his sleeve, Judging from the numerous questions he put, concerning the question. - ' In 'Bad Shape. In such a bad condition is the west road, leading to Newman's hill, that grocerymen, coal dealers and other merchants refuse to deliver merchandise to the residents of this place. The residents have to go after whatever they want. , The matter was referred to the board. There have been several such complaints made in months past on this same subject. Who Is Responsible? Because either the police lost a communication given to them by City Clerk Merrill, to be delivered to Henry Deuker, chairman of the ordinance committee, or Mr. Deuker misplaced it, no report was made by his committee in regard to the South Eleventh street improvement by the construction of cement sidewalks, curbs and gutters. Under the circumstances the matter had to be laid over two weeks. : Strip Annexed.

A strip 75 feet long and 75 feet wide abutting on National Avenue and

West Eleventh street, in the new Highland addition, just platted and Sold, was annexed to the city last evening on suspension of the rules. Attorney A. M. Gardner who represented the petitioners states that the reason this small strip had been left out was due to an error on the part of the city engineer at the time of the original annexation of surrounding territory. A Sewer Petition. A petition signed by twelve residents along Ridge and Boyer streets for the construction of a lateral sewer in the alley between these two streets, starting at Charles Street, and running north to School street, was presented by . Councilman Burdsall. The matter was referred to the board of works. Chuck Hole Notes. Chuck holes, as the council is pleased to call them, came up for ten minutes or more discussion. Complaints were made about Main street, both where It is paved and where it is macadamized, North Fifth and Seventh streets, South Tenth and South Seventh streets. All were referred to the board. Gutter Is Bad. The bad condition of the gutter at 905 North Tenth street was referred to councilman Brown, the matter being turned over to the board. . Want Walk Repaired. The damage done to the cement side walk of Sheridan street by Hipskind and Son while constructing the Northwest sewer system has never been repaired by the contractors and Councilman McMahan again called the board's attention to the fact. f:.'r- Report of Plant. Superintendent Charles Rogers' report of the business of the Municipal light plant for the month of May is as follows: Received from street lighting 91.893.75, from light and power, $5,019.03; total receipts $6,912.79; disbursements,' operating expense, $3632.48; building and equipment, $888.40; total $4,520.88 and excess of receipts over expenses, $3,280.30. Parry's Report. City controller Webster Parry's report of the finances of the city for May Is as follows: Receipts of general fund, $39,197.88 ; disbursements, $19,299.38, balance $19,931.50; total in sinking fund, $9,486.50; balance in

Washington, D. ' C; June a Mrs. Taft, through her womanly Instinct of mercy, saved from death a Russian named Perovich, convicted of murder at Fairbanks, Alaska, and sentenced to be executed. It is said that her intercedence with the president influenced him to change the sentence to life imprisonment. The man was convicted before and sentenced by James Wlckersham, then a federal judge in Alaska, who is now congressional delegate .from that territory. He recommended clemency and Attorney General Wickereham made the same recommendation. Mrs. Taft Urges Clemency. President Taft, however, was not inclined to interfere, believing, after a thorough review of the case, that Perovlch was guilty of the murder and should pay the extreme penalty. Mrs. Taft had seen part of the testimony, and her feminine tenderness led , her COUNCIL FAV8RS THE BOiD ISSUE Supt. Mott of Public Schools Explains Plans of the School Board. INDIVIDUALS TO BENEFIT

Superintendent T. A. Mott of the city schools, following a discussion at council last evening as to the probable disposal of bonds to be issued for the construction of the new high school building, Ninth and North C streets, stated that the school board desired to sell as many of the bonds, if not all of them," to either private individuals or banking institutions of the city. Council seemed very much pleased that this course would be followed. For Popular Issue. Mr. Mott, speaking unauthoritatively for the board stated that a part of the bonds would be apportioned to the highest bidder. Another portion will be for popular issue, according to his understanding. He could not state the share of the $175,000 bond

issue which the board would decide to

dispose of at first, or the premium they expected to receive for them. He is not certain how long the bonds will run. ' City controller Webster Parry said

that in conversation with two members Of the board they stated that they expected to receive a premium. He al

so substantiated what Mr. Mott said

regarding the sale of bonds to local

parties.

to urge the commutation of the sentence. The president considers all pardon or commutation cases in his study In the White House. It is one of the classes of business that he does not take up in his office. There is so much interruption at the executive office that it is impossible for the president to study anything carefully there. Works in Quiet Room. As long as he is in his office there is always some caller with business so urgent that he must see Mr. Taft. Therefore, the new president, who will not pass on. anything without going over all the facts, quits the executive office early in the afternoon and goes to his working-room In the White House proper. It was in this way that Mts. Taft, who takes a great Interest in ail that her husband does, became acquainted with the Perovich case. .

ordinance to this effect, coming up on third reading, was passed by a vote of 7 to 3, Von Pein not voting, being absent from the meeting. Graveling Objectionable. An effort is being made by Councilman Englebert for more macadamizing of streets. - He believes that they should be improved by such method instead of being continually graveled. As an example of how poorly It pays to gravel a street, he referred to North Twelfth street, north of the railroad. This street is graveled at least once a year, when it might be permanently improved by macadamizing. In order to compel bicyclists, automobilists, motorcyclists and drivers to keep to the right of the street, especially in the business districts, it is probable that an ordinance will be drafted or the present ordinance amended so as to be effective. The ordinance committee will report on the question at the next meeting.

The action of residents along South A street in successfully remonstrating against the improvement of that street by the construction of cement sidewalks, curbs and gutters, may not be final. At least the sidewalks along this street, which are in a very bad condition, may be ordered torn up by council and cement sidewalks constructed. The sentiment expressed at the council meeting last evening was to this effect. Other street improvements were also considered. The council by passing an ordinance has the power to compel the improvement of any street. South A street, particularly between Seventh and Eighth streets, where flag stones form the walk and . between Eighth and Ninth where pitch was used, is in a very bad condition. Members of the council think that these sidewalks should be torn up and cement sidewalks placed in their stead. - Opinion of Study. City Attorney T. J. Study, in speaking of the Improvement, stated that the remonstrators stood In their own light He is thoroughly convinced that the . improvement will be made some day and if the property owners wait many years they will also have the added burden of paying for the brick paving of their street which he also believes will eventually result. The improvement of North A street between Fifth and Seventh streets, by the construction of cement sidewalks, carte and gutters; will bo madav Aa

HURT POLICE ARE MAKING AN INVESTIGATION.

New York, June & Two girls, who

charge that they were held prisoners

at the point of a revolver in an auto

mobile going fifty miles an hour by a joy-riding chauffeur and his companion, were seriously injured and the two men were badly hurt today when the machine dashed into the rear of a furniture van just north of Debbs's Ferry, N. Y. The two girls were Florence Jacobs and Belle Daly. Both are seventeen years old. The chauffeur is Daniel Cush, employed by Albert McLave of the banking firm of Waterman & Co., whose automobile he was driving. The other man in the car was Daniel Demson. The automobile was seen going through Dobbs's Ferry at terrific speed. It passed out of the village along Broadway and about half way between Dobbs's Ferry and Hastings on the Hudson, without warning, the machine struck the rear of the furniture van, heavily loaded. Found Unconscious. The two girls and the chauffeur were found unconscious in the road and Demson was found beneath the furniture van, dazed, but still able to murmur his name and that of the chauffeur. AH were removed to the Dobbs Ferry hospital. When the two girls recovered consciousness they preferred charges against Cush and Demson. Demson was found to be the least injured and be was sent to the jail at Hastings. Cush remained at th.e hospital. He may die. f . Miss Jacobs told the authorities that she and her friend, Miss Daly, had objected to the speed of the machine, but were forcibly quieted by Demson who, the girls declare, drew a revolver and threatened to shoot them if they made any further outcry. The girls crouched down in the seats of the tonneau in abject fright. The auto sped on, Cush putting on more speed at each mile. When the crash came the girls say that the machine was going fifty miles an hour.

COUHCILMEII ACT: MAYORJS BALKY Schillinger Refuses to Sign the Art Exhibit Appropriation Bill.

REVIVES AN OLD DISPUTE HOWEVER, PROVIDING MAYOR VETOES THE ORDINANCE, COUNCIL WILL OVERRULE HIM AT ITS NEXT SESSION.

Again council, representing the republican organization of the city, and Mayor Schillinger representing the Democratic party, have locked horns oyer the appropriation of city's money to a private corporation. An ordinance to appropriate $100 to the Richmond Art Association, which exhibit opens

this evening at the Garfield building, was presented by Councilman Deuker, at council last evening. By suspension of the rules the ordinance was passed last evening and would have been effective at once had Mayor Schillnger signed it. Same Old Question. This same question has come up

several times during the present administration, both in connection with the appropriation for Reld Memorial hospital and for the Art Association. Each time, on the advice of City Attorney T. J. Study, mayor Schillinger has refused to sign the appropriations, claiming that the city has no right to give its money to organizations, incorporated under the laws of the state as private enterprises, although public in their nature. Mayor Schillinger stated last evening that this course had always been followed by him and he would do likewise this year. He has ten days in which to act on the ordinance. The action of the democratic administration will probably not affect council's staml in the least, as it can be safely predicted that council will unanimously pass the ordinance over the mayor's veto on Monday evening, June 21. At any rate council always has followed such a , public-spirited course.
