At the conclu sion of the meal Mr. Roosevelt made a short address: Amid tremendous cheering, Mr. Roosevelt said: . "My hosts, 1'vo always realised that Buffalo was a wideawake burg, but I did not believe It were possible to have gotten so many men up at 5 o'clock In the morning to meet me. I am exceedingly grateful that I didn't get here at I o'clock for I don't know what form of entertainment would have been provided for that hour. -I have but a few minutes and I'm going to plunge right into a subject of utmost Importance to the citlsens of Buffalo, the state of New York and the entire nation. That Is the keeping fresh water supply of the great lakes unpolluted. "Wo claim to be a civilised people and wo ought to be able to dispose of sewsge other than through our drinking water. Keep the Lakes Pure." "Action by the state so far as Its own boundaries are concerned and action by the nation because of other states interested, should be taken to keep the waters of the great lakes as pure as possible. Uncle Bam has got to aot and he must have the cooperation oC the citlsens of . the states. "I belle la Sure government, and In so believing I recognise no party distinction. If I make any party distinction it Is a little mora my business to hunt out a crook that belongs to my party than It he belonged to another. Friends wo must keep our oyeo fixed. Distrust above an other men the man who win inveigh the dishonesty of another." , Colonel Roosevelt spoke for about IS minutes and then entered his auto and was driven to the station. - His train left for the west at 7:20 o'clock harp. I Liken Fight" . Colonel Roosevelt was in fine humor today when the newspaper correspondents who are with him on the trip asked him how the New York altnation was getting along. . -Oh, It's aU right." responded the ceSsacL "taeros a good light on and I Eke to Csht Ton know that" When told that William Barnes, the AAany leader, waa confident of beattx him- la the fight for the temporary chairmanship of the state convention Colonel RooeeveU beamed. "Now. Barnes ..always was quite frank in saying what he thought." was the ex-president's reply, "but mea he speaks of fight I want to say list there will ho plenty of It."

FIEUD IS STILL BUSY emnamansnsss Man Who Poisons Dogs in this City Is Again Enjoying His' Pastime. SIX VICTIMS ARE REPORTED

The dog poisoner is again at work la the city and within the last three weeks six dogs and seven .cats or more have been poisoned. ' Al of the animals were pets of families living within a square or so of the court house and Herman Oestlng, who has lost two pets, one of which was valued at $100 and which died last evening was considered the best "ratter" in the West End, has offered 925 reward for the arrest and conviction of the guilty people. Different kinds of poison and ground glass placed In meat have been used by the poisoner to effect his nefarious end. The list of victims Is so large that perhaps more than vengeance by law will be wreaked on the guilty parties or parties It they are discovered. Those who have lost dogs Include Howard Oestlng, Ben Bowing, a 9135 scotch collie; J. Bond, a terrier; Timothy Sprouts, a 950 St Bernard; and Mrs. Ben Kremeter. TO PREPARE LIST OF CITYjXPEIISES All Needed Improvements for 1911 to Be Listed to Make New Tax Rate. MAYOR ISSUES AN ORDER HE ANTICIPATES THAT RATE NEXT YEAR WILL BE $1.10 AS THE CITY IS IN NEED OP MORE 1 REVENUE. . Today city officials were Instructed to jaake up the list of expenses for VZSVX. la4hetr respective departments, by Mayor Zimmerman. The finance committee of council, of which H. H. Engelbert is chairman, will meet with the heads , of departments within a week when a preliminary budget will be drawn up. City Attorney A. W. Gardner wishes to have the budget ready for presentation to the city September. The mayor ordered the department heads to put in their list of expenses all Improvements that could possibly be desired by the property holders of the city so that the tax rate may be made high enough to meet the expenses of the city and satisfy the public demand for Improvements. He Is Not Afraid. "We won't be afraid to make the tax rate 91.10," said the mayor, "but of course we dont want to make It any higher than necessary. We certainly are going to do things next year." Mayor Zimmerman declared , that the democratic administration had lowered the tax rate for purely political purposes and that It had been shown to be a failure. "We're not afraid to spend money when we have it on hand." said Dr. Zimmerman, "but when we haven't it we have to be carefuL" People demanding Improvements this year, were criticized by several members of the board. "They seem to forget that there isnt any money and that the city does not get a cent back from its Investments, as do business men," was stated by Mr. Zimmerman. "The people need the Improvements and shall have them." TRAMP PRINTER FINED. Frank Johnson, a tramp printer, was fined 91 and costs for public In toxkatlon in city court today.

BEGINS SIX DAYS CONFERENCE HERE In Opening Address President Schuette Denounced Trial Sermons and Salary Baits to Ministers. ALL BUSINESS READY f CC7CCl:FEREKgE ' ' , . '" ' ' ' ' ' , '..'''..'', - . ' Each Day Is to Be Set Aside for the Hearing of Committee Reports An Election .Next Tuesday, t The fortieth Biennial convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Joint synod of Ohio and other states opened this morning for a six day conference at St John's Lutheran church with about two hundred delegates in attendance. After a devotional service , which was conducted by the Rev. Schuette of Co lumbus,- Ohio, president of the synod. the business before the body was pre sented. The preliminary committee to the synod, composing about sixty menv bers has been in session for two days and had all business which was to be presented ready for a systematic presentation. Each day of the convention is set aside for reports of committees. Procedure of business is as follows: Today, reports of organisation and missions committee: Friday, reports of committee on educational institutions; Saturday, reports of committee on nomination; Monday, reports of committee on finances and institutions; Tuesday, report of committee on publications -and other. matters, also election of officers in the forenoon; Wednesday, unfinished business and miscellaneous matters. ' - Preeldenfs Address. , In part President Schuette said, in his opening address: "Trial sermons, so-called, have at ways been objected to emons us, be ing considered as Inconsistent with our doctrine of the call. Now If this our position Is reasonable and right the question arises: How are we to Judge of visits made and sermons preached following ' the receipt of a call but before its acceptance or declination is decided on? If it is contrary to good cnurcniy order for a congre gation to see and hear the man it is advised to call to its pastorate, then I fail to see how. It can be proper for the person called to inspect the field and its premises before he makes up his mind, whether or not he. will go and establish himself there. Brethren let us be fair; above all. let us beware oi maKing tne impression as it in a matter so entirely sacred the will of our Lord hinged on and were to be discerned from "modern conveniences. pleasant environments, and the like." "Another Innovation and to me one of very questionable merit is the in crease of salary offered, be it to induce a pastor "to stay" ' or be it tq entice him "to come." when called to another field. To be sure, an addition to one's Income is a very desirable thing; nay more than that in not a few cases it is a dire necessity; at the same time I would submit the question whether it is expedient to use It as a bait so to speak, or to make it, play a part In weighing the pros- and cons of a pastoral chsiige. Of course, circum stances may be such that a higher salary than has been paid can very properly be made a condition of ac cepting a call; Jbut . if so. the utmost care should be exercised; for it behooves us to remember that the divinity of a call does not lie in the dollars therein Involved; and' moreover, that 111' disposed persons are ever present and ever ready to sit in Judgment on a pastor's everytactlon. A "Roll of Honor." . "A formal "roll of honor" has been set up wherein tab is kept of every salary-raise, and which seems to find great favor hero and there. To me it Is a meaningless and doubtful expedient We are Informed that . the people at X have , advanced their pastor's or teacher's ' salary i by so ' many dollars. -Very-well; hut what had they been ' paying, and are they, paying a living salary now? , Moreover, are we to conclude that congregations whose names do not appear to the roll of honor are less Just and generous than are those. made mention. of?. "It is quite in place, and even neces sary, that tne question of adequate' support receive attention now and then in our church papers;, and much that has been said on the subject was to .the point and said In . the right spirit; but I am sorry to observe that here , and there odious comparisons creep In. Granted that oar brethren way up North Just must drive double and must have coats, robes, shoes and mittens of for. and other ttke things at considerable cost , to themselves, does it follow that they should be sal

aried higher than their brethren South or East? And may not these, have expenses the brethren North know nothing of Ah, let us beware of the eye that Is evil In this matter, as in every other." -
