TO REFUND FARMERS.

City Controller E. G. McMahan Is now estimating the amount of money which will be required to refund vehicle licenses paid by farmers, who Hades the recent construction of the ordinance will not have to pay license fees. This will amount to about $100, It Is thought by McMahan. It would be a violation of the law to take the money out of the receipts of the sale of licenses, therefore an appropriation will be asked from the city council.

MINISTERS DECLINE

At the first meeting of the Minis terial association held at the Y. M. C. A. this morning, resolutions were adopted as follows: "That Rev. C. Huber be instruetetd to communicate with Mr. Charles W. I Jordan, chairman of the Educational committee as follows: "First Our sincere thanks for inviting the Ministerial association to have a part in the Centennial celebration to be held October 7. in connection with the Fall Festival "Second. We learn however, that it is the thought of the educational committee that the Ministerial association should be represented in this celebration by a float or In some other way that would represent the church of Christ In the parade. To do this would involye an amount of labor and expense which the ministers were not able to give especially at this time when they are preparing for the fall work. We therefore feel called upon to decline this kind invitation." Rev. Charles Tebbetts of the Edinburg, Scotland missionary conference gave an interesting report Rev. Truman Kenworthy reported great progress in the Evangelistic field. IN THE CITY COURT. Frank Murray was fined $5 and costs for drunk in the city court this morning. He was arrested at an alleged negro resort on South Sixth street and was prosecuted by James Thomas, who Murray claimed is "crazy about" a woman In the house. Murray aays he was not drunk but he admitted visiting the house. The mayor ordered the police department to investigate the alleged house of ill fame Immediately and if it is found to be such, prosecution will follow. "Snooks" said he would not make an affidavit against the keeper of the house. BOARD MAKES ORDER Man-holes Must Be Even With the Surface of Sidewalks of the City. AN AWNING EXPERIMENT Trap doors and man holes built ; higher than the sidewalk will be ordered lowered flush with the sidewalk by the board of works. ' The obstructions are deemed a menace to health and lives of the public and for this reason the action will be taken. One of the most dangerous sidewalks in the city, according, to the board, is the walk on the north side of the Y. M.C. AM on north A 'street. There " are ' several trap doors there and a man hole, used for removing ashes from the basement built under the sidewalk. Several of these trap doors are raised nfost of the time,, it is said, and used for ventilating purposes. The Y.' M. C. A. directors will he notified to remedy the trouble immediately. Just before the board meeting today an experiment attempting to prove that sheds over business entrances are dangerous in case of fire,was tried with one of the large ladders from the Are department. To hold the weight of several men with a ladder placed on the city building, it was necessary to place the ladder close to the building, and if there had been a shed in front of It, It would not have been safe to extend the ladder to the top of the building. There is only one solution to the fire question if sheds are permitted, according to Mayor Zimmerman, and that is to buy an aerial truck for the fire department Aerial trucks may be used to good advantage even if sheds exist, it is said.

I usually go into my study, lock the door and do It through the keyhole. ! - ' . . HAIKE SENTENCED. New York, Sept 19. Charles. R.

The most reckless and hazardous flight yet attempted in the history of aviation, was. commenced today when aviators Chaves, the Peruvian, and Wayman. j an American, started upon their transAlpine trip over a route circling the Simplon Pass which leads between the lofty peaks from Switserland to Italy. The first start in this courtship of death was made at 6 o'clock this morning, but a strong wind compelled the aviators to descend in the roadway after they had flown a short distance. Neither the machines nor the aviators were hurt. As promise was given that the high winds would soon die down both then declared they would make the attempt later. The flight was planned to begin yesterday but the Swiss government put a ban upon the flight, because of a scheduled religious procession and the birdmen abandoned their plans for the day. " Dawn today found a great crowd gathered about the aviators as they tuned up their machines and eyed the sky with critical gaze. The original number of contestants has dwindled. Pailette and Cattaneo attempt the ' dangerous flight and Weinczirs withdrew entirely.
