ELOQUENT III HIS "SUE FOURTH, ETC. t If Roosevelt is Brave Enough to Meet Wild Animals he Thinks he can Meet a Lesser Danger. GORMON REFUSES TO ACCEPT $100 REWARD Chief of Police Checks Action Proposed by Council Other Business Transacted by the Council. By a majority of one the safe and sane celebration of Independence Day measure passed council last evening, over the veto of Mayor Zimmerman. The measure was originally passed at the second council meeting In May but Mayor Zimmerman saw fit to veto it and gave some remarkable reasons for. doing so in his veto. Councilman Evans, KaulTman and Waldele were the only ones in favor of sustaining the veto. Mayor Zimmerman says in his veto, "I veto the above ordinance on the same ground 1 stated " in council. "I see that Teddy Roosevelt is not afraid of the wild beasts of the jungles and takes his life in his own hand and, is lauded by. his friends, the press and the neoDle. " Therefore I see no reason why I should not veto so trivial a danger, when you compare it to the wild beasts." After Cambridge Reward. The council Instructed Mayor Zimmerman to proceed and collect the $500 reward which the. citizens of Cambridge City offered for the conviction of the murderer of Mrs. Frank Allison killed at her . home one mile south of Cambridge in 'April. Superintendent of Police T. A. Oormon secured the confession of Charles A. Revalee and has already. been promised the $500 offered by the county. Cambridge City promised to distribute its reward in the same manner as did the: commissioners. MSayor Zimmerman said that no litigation would be undertaken, but that his representatives would try to collect the money in a "gentlemanly manner."' Council protested on extending this privilege to the chief executive until 'after he. had announced that, no litigation would ensue. Councilman Von Pien was anxious that the city donate . $100 to Chief of Police I. A. Gormon for his work in the Allison murder case. Mr. Gormon refused absolutely to take one cent stating that he did not want to be criticised. While the reward offered by the county will be paid to Mr. Gormon and also that of Cambridge City residents, if. It is collected, the Superintendent of Police will not be able to retain any of it. A state law requires that employes of the city shall not receive compensation in the Torm of rewards. . Money for trie Police. " Council passed an ordinance appro- - for miscellaneous expenses. An ordinance prohibiting the throw ins; , of tacks,' glass and other sharp objects on the streets was passed on third reading. One section of the or dinance spoke of "sharp" nails and un til this word "sharp" was removed Councilman King declared he would not vote for the measure because no reference was made to blunt nails. City officials acepted an Invitation - to attend the dedication of the west DlithmnnH hnA hnnsA hmiM on Wfd - nesday evening.

Mr. Mao Vicar will be informed that. the city does. not desire to be a member ot this league. ; Dr. M. P. Johnston, president of the school board whose time as a member 'of the board expired on June 1, was reelected to the position by council last ' evening. NSmrod H.

' 1 Sharks' Egos. The eggs of fishes are usually small, oft and inconspicuous. The most re markable point about-them is the extraordinary number laid by the indl vidusl. A single cod lays as many as 0,000.000 eggs. Sharks lay eggs which aro large iu size, few aa to numbers and are deposited singly. Instead of in ; masses. These eggs consist of a dark colored leathery envelop and are usually adorned with, frills, horns or Ions twisted tendrils. These append ages serve the purpose of keeping the egg case supported among the branches of aea weeds, thus preserving th embryo from the damage it would sustain were the egg carried hither and thither by the waves.

COUNTY WILL PAY STATE LARGE SUM $67,604.44 to be Contributed to Indiana's Strong Box by Old Wayne. SLIGHT INCREASE SHOWN COUNTY AUDITOR COE HAS COMPLETED JUNE SETTLEMENT OF TAES COLLECTED DURING THE SPRING. The June settlement of Wayne coun ty revenue and other taxes for 1909 which were paid to County Treasurer Albert Albertson this spring has been completed by County Auditor Demas Coe and shows that this county will pay to the state treasurer $67,604.44 which is a small increase over ; that sent to the state officials last June The total amount of revenue collected this spring by the treasurer from the various funds was $397,295.23. The amount which is due to the state treasurer will be paid within short time by the county treasurer, He will not take the entire amount with him to Indianapolis as the county has already advanced to the state $12,000 on account of state tax and the total amount of the account of tbw state school fund, because at least that amount will be apportioned back to the county. In this way the county does not lose the interest by withdrawing the amount from the depositories. The accounts due to the state as shown by the report are as follows: State tax, $16,621.59; benevolent fund, $8666.94; state debt sinking fund, $5,196.38; state school fund, $24,873.42: state educational institution fund, $4,766,63; school fund interest, $6,981.13; permanent endowment fund interest, nuent taxes amounts to $474.81. Circuit Court, $184.00; total S67.604.44, The report also shows that County Treasurer Albertson's fees on delinsteward, the Earl of Jersey and Mayor An Orchid Trsgsdy. Perhaps Madagascar has claimed more orchid hunters lives and been the scene of ' more revolting sets of cruelty than- any other place. Some years ago a German orchid fancier while seeking some specimens In the forests of this island was captured by some of the natiTe officials, who, after covering him with oil. burned him alive. Another collector who was seized by some of the same officials was allowed to choose between being burned alive or himself setting fire to some fagots on which lay another prisoner, also an orchid collector, and thus saving his own life. He chose the latter alternative and died six months later a lunatic. - UnsstfUh. Dad My son. bard work brings the only anie happiness.

Roosevelt Tells English in Time of Peace be Prepared For War. TALKS OF RACE SUICIDE COLONEL RECEIVES A DEGREE AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY TODAY AND HE IMMEDIATELY WEILDS THE BIG STICK. Col. Roosevelt's address in full will be found elsewhere in this ls sue. (American News Service) London, June 7. The degree of doc tor of civil law was today conferred on Theodore Roosevelt by Oxford university. Following the conferring of the regree, Col. Roosevelt delivered his lecture on '"Biological Analogies in History." This was to have been delivered on May 18, but the death of King Edward prevented the program from being carried out. Oxford outdid Cambridge in her reception of the former president of the United States, he being given an enthusiastic reception upon his arrival by train from this city, which he left at 8:48 this morning. 1 Freedom of Oxford. The town took precedence over the gown In the order of entertaining Mr. Roosevelt. Immediately on his arrival he was greeted by the local officials, and the formality of extending to him the freedom of Oxford followed. With a liberal sprinkling of the .OOO undergraduates, a crowd containing 50,000 people of Oxford welcomed the former president. The high steward, the Earl of eJrsey and Mayor Salter, had charge of the formalities Col. Roosevelt and his party were also met at the station by Lord Curzon who married Miss Leiter of Chicago, now dead. In his address Col. Roosevelt de manded the maintenance of the "fighting edge," constant preparedness for war, and the readiness to use the big stick. Race suicide and the methods of jects were also dealt with. At Local Theaters King Edward's Funeral. Comparatively few were fortunate enough to witness the obsequies at the buriar of the late King of England yet the people of Richmond may get a very good idea of these rites by viewing the motion pictures at the Murray this week. The pictures show the crowds, the pomp and the ceremony displayed as well as the appearance of some buildings of great historical interest. These are absolutely new pictures as the original photographs only arrived in this country about ten days ago. Five Feature Acts. This week at the Murray the patrons have an opportunity of seeing one of the biggest bills recently given at this popular playhouse. Mr. McCall of the McCall trio presents a novelty in singing while the lady members of the trio have a decided novelty in a rope' skipping act. The University Four A Bit of Harmony render some pretty songs in a truly artistic .manner and although the bill this week introduces plenty of music, there is sufficient variety so that every taste "will be satisfied. Gilmore-Le-Moyne and i Perry In "A Strenuous Day" present some instrumental music but the whole act is a scream and has a fitting climax. Polly Harger, the soubrette, with monologue and vo cal selections is sure to be a favorite this week. The bill closes this wreek with the motion pictures depicting the funeral of King Edward. KILL 100 OFFICIALS Mexico City,, June 7. -Over a hun. dred officials have been killed by the Insurgent Mayo Indians, of Yucatan, accirding to semiofficial dispatches received today. More troops have been dispatched to Yucatan. WILLIE WOODS IS FINED. Willie Woods, colored got the worst of it in police court this morning, when his trial on a charge of assault and battery on Charles Pollett, a street car conductor, came up before the Mayor. The row occurred on South Eighth street near the carnival grounds a week ago, but William got a continu ance to consult his attorney. He was assessed $5 and costs and mother stay ed the fine. MONTHLY HEALTH REPORT. The health report for May by the City Health Officer, Dr. T- Henry Da vis, Fhows the following contagion: Measles, 149 cases; scarlet fever, 7 cases; diphtheria, 3 cases. The deaths were males 13: females 11; births, males 18, females 12. "CHAMPION" COMING HERE.

In case he comes, the fcKId" will open an athletic club and pull off regular boxing and wrestling mills.

A CHANCE 10 BOOST

Help Y. M. B. C. Next Week by Attending Performances at the Murray. HELP RAISE A CLUB FUND. In this ase of airships, wireless telegraphy, etc., it is to be expected that anything mysterious or unexplainable proves a drawing card when one bears in mind that such an attraction as has. been secured for this city is also a benefit of a worthy nature, it can be readily understood why the Young Men's Business Club is to be congratulated in securing such a big feature for nest week at the Murray theater. On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this club will share in the re ceipts at this popular playhouse and every booster in Richmond will desire to see "The Eagle and The Girl," which comes from the Paris Hippo drome, where it was the leading attraction for more than two years Miss Ryan's ability as a singer of the latest songs has been commended by the critics of things theatrical in all the principal cities of this country. She is a most petite and charming little woman, her costumes in keeping with each song and of the latest fashion, rich both in color and material. As a climax to her act a large eagle swoops down grasping her in its talons, and carrying her over the heads of the audience still singing and en joying the situation. Buy a ticket, witness a good performance and material ly assist this enterprising club in boosting Richmond and thus directly or indirectly the interests of every one in this city. The Moose lodge at its meeting last night disposed of 300 tickets for the Y. M. B. C. benefit at the New Murray and several of the other lodges or the city will assist the club in a similar manner. DISPUTE AROUSES COUNCIL fliioctinn of Commission for Tax Ferret Gets Discussion Last Evening. GARDNER VERSUS KELLEY CITY ATTORNEY AND COUNSEL FOR W. E. LOWE ARGUE AS TO THE PAYMENT OF A 30 PER CENT COMMISSION. Argument that the city would be the losers, instead of the gainer, by continuing to press its suit against the payment of a thirty percent commis sion to Tax Adjustor Lowe, on the city's share of all taxes caused to be paid into the county treasury by him was made by Attorney William H Kelley, last evening at council meet ing, in the interest of Mr. Lowe. May or Zimmerman suggested that if this was the case the city and Mr. Lowe should get together and make a con tract which would assure him of commission on all taxes which he caused to be paid into the treasury. Sentiment among the councilmen last evening was divided and some could not understand the proposition. City Attorney A; M. Gardner, main tains that the city should not pay to Lowe any commissioa on the city's share of paid in sequestered taxes on the present contract, which Mr. Lowe hold with the county, and which ex pires in September. - He did not make any argument against the city and Mr. Lowe entering into a contract. The city has been engaged in sev eral cases of litigation in which question of commission to tax ferrets was the bone of contention. It was stated last evening that the city has not lost anything as no decision in any case has ever been rendered, settling the question definitely. " The city attorney stated last evening that to appeal the case which the city is interested against Lowe, it would be about tw years before a decision was rendered and would cost the city In all probably about $50 for court costs. Watches and Pickpock.ta, "It's a peculiar thing. said toe headquarters detective. that with the Increase in popularity of cheap watches the number of reports which we have received of watches stolen by pickpockets has diminished greatly. No first class pickpocket tries for watches any more. The same skill Is required to get away with a dollar watch as a hundred dollar one. so when the dips found they were touching well dressed men for imitations they gradually ceased trying for them. The objective points now are stickpins, which the crooks can appraise before trying for them, and wallets, which they are willlag to take a chance oa. New Ior Sua. Shining. Well.
