MAYOR SURPRISED OVER HESITANCY Of Property Owners in Welcoming Improvements to Their Properties. "I can't why a property owner doi not consider a public improvement a benefit to his property," said Mayor Zimmerman at the meeting of the board of public works this morning after the board had heard the remonstrators on the proposed cementing of the second alley south of Main street between Fourth and Fifth streets. Every property owner along the line of the proposed improvement remonstrated. The mayor asserted that be believed the property was benelltted more than the cost of the improvement. Very few public Improvements were made last year but the city administration promised a large number this year and as a result of the fulfilment of the promises the board of works has beard many remonstrances. Mayor Zimmerman stated that he had property on a number of the streets which were Improved but that he considered It a betterment to his property to have cement' sidewalks curbing and gutters and cement alleys. The board confirmed the resolution for the Improvement of Richmond avenue by the construction of a cement sidewalk; curbing and guttera on the south side of the street and the macadamising of the roadway on the south side. Numerous complaints have been presented to the board and council about the condition of the street. A petition was filed with the board requesting the filling of the gully on
the national road from Second street
east to the river which was taken under advisement. If this street, which
leads to the driveway along the riv
er bank, was repaired the Idea of the Commercial club and the West Side
Improvement association of a river side drive would take on aspects of
materialiastlon. The primary assessment rolls were approved on the improvement of South F street from Eleventh to Thirteenth street and the alley from B to C street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, the Improvement of the South Fifth street by the construc
tion of cement sidewalks on both sides of the street from Main to South E. ; II. C. Foster was given the contract for the construction of 'an alley from 8outh A to 8outh B between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, and also for the construction of cement sidewalks, curbing and guttera ' on North F. street from Twentieth to Twenty-fourth street. v Daniel Burkhardt was awarded the contract for placing a cement sidewalk on North I C street from Nineteenth to Twentysecond street.
A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD BOY ARRESTED Raymond Puthoff was arrested this afternoon by Patrol Driver Wenger and Patrolman VogelBong at North Twelfth and F streets on the charge of stealing money and clothing from ' th home of his grandfather, Frank Puthoff, who Is employed at the Champion Roller Mills. It is not known how much money young Puthoff took from the home of his grandfather, and other facts concerning the . alleged robbery of the house are not . known. Young Puthoff has been under sur- : veilance since the robbery was reported and this afternoon Supt. Gor-
' mon was notified that he was walking
' to this city on the North Twelfth street pike. - . Puthoff is only seventeen years old.
He has been in trouble previous to
this time and faced a charge of steal
?tng hitch-straps from the barn of i Mayor Zimmerman a few weeks ago.
FOX IIOWJII EDITOR Judge Decides to Edit History of County.
"Editor of Palladium:
A short time ago I published a card
concerning my connection with a pro
posed history of Wayne County which
is being promoted. Since then I have received Information which in my judgment makes It proper for me to make this explanation. In my former card I stated that I had no knowledge of the persons who proposed to pub
lish the book, nor of the scope of the
work; that I had agreed to act as ed-.
itor-in-chlef and inspect and review
the manuscripts that were being pre
pared; that no manuscripts had been submitted to me and that for these and other reasons I should take no further Interest in the proposed history. In publishing this card I acted in good faith in the premises. Since then representatives of the company proposing to publish tbe book have called upon me and given me a detailed explanation and have furnished me with the facts and requested me to fully investigate them and satisfy myself as to their truthfulness. This I have done and this is why I make this explanation. I find that the history is being prepared and will be published by the Western Historical Association. The business of this association is to prepare and publish local histories, a business in which they have been engaged for many years. I am now satisfied that this association is responsible and will do what they agree to do. The
work will as they represent consist of
two handsome volumes. The first volume will be purely historical. This vol
ume will be chiefly written by Profes-
Bor Llndley, of Earlham College. His name Is a sufficient guaranty of what the quality of this volume will be. The
second volume will consist mainly of personal biographies and sketches of persons living and dead who are or
wree residents of the county. There will be a great number of these
sketches, the preparation of which en
tails a great amount of work. It has
been explained to me that the reason
why the manuscripts have not been submitted for my Inspection was that
they had not all been completed; that as soon as they are they will be sub-
mitetd to me.
"In further explanation I will say that since my former card was published I have received information
that many persons who subscribed for the book were Induced to do so for the reason that t had agreed to act as editor-in-chief. Under the circumstances
and with the knowledge of the facts
as I now have them I feel that I in
good faith ought to edit the work aB I
originally agreed. This I have concluded to do and will use my best endeav
ors to make the history a deserving one. Two authorised representatives of
the Association are now. in Richmond and will remain mtil the book is completed. Their headquarters at present Is No. 22, South Tenth street, where they can be seen at all times by those who desire further Information in the premises.

WHITE CITUOW OP First Campers Have Arrived at Chautauqua.
The regular camping period opened today at the Chautauqua, and a full sized crowd was on hand to get the benefit of the first day's pleasures. Nearly all the lots have been reserved and practically every tent is up. Although a few people slept on the grounds last night most of the campers did not arrive until this morning. Some anxiety is felt about the arrival of Bland's orchestra. This organization of musicians was to have come into town early this morning, but at a late hour no word has been received from them. The people at headquarters are still hoping that the band will get into town for their scheduled concert tonight. Even if they do not come tonight, the managers state that the regular entertainment will take place tomorrow. Many are planning to take advantage of these concerts, as no admission Is charged. Whole swarms of yellow-jackets have been routed from the camp In the last day or two. It was found that the insects had Infested the entire place, but Secretary Myrick believes that his men have gotten rid of the whole lot. It was reported that the headquarters tent, which has been missing for several days, reached town this morning, and will be in position before long.

MONEY KINGS WERE
SUBJECT OF ATTACK -, t
Senator LaFollette Accuses
Wall Street of Hatching Alaskan Plot.
(National News Association)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.--Senator
LaFollette electrified the senate this afternoon with a cvitrolic attack on
Wall street. Addressing the senators
on conditions In Alaska he charged that a conspiracy was being hatched
In Wall Street among the money kings
for the "upbuilding of a monopoly,
equal, if not greater, than that in the
anthracite coal field in Pennsylvania." Senator Lafollette did not mince words nor was he backward in presenting his allegations. He declared
the gigantic powers In Wall street were using the government to help them in tying up Alaska for their own exploitation. Mr. LaFollette was speaking in advocacy of his bill to create a board of public works to
control transportation into the inter
ior.
"Every day makes it more evident
that the American people are waging
a losing fight in Alaska,' declared La Follette. Then he described at length
what he called the "anthracite mon
opoly" in Pennsylvania. "
"When we have before us the his
tory of this anthracite struggle, now consumated in the complete control of J. P. Morgan against the whole American people, can we expect any dif
ferent results If we permit the Morgan-Guggenheim group to get control
of Alaska. This power will lie In
their control of the docks, wharves
and mountain passes. Contrast this helplessness of the American people'
in dealing with Alaska with what the same people are doing on the Isthmus
of Panama.
