WEED ORDINANCE IS NOT EFFECTIVE City Health Officer So Informs the Board of Public Works Today.

The city's ordinance providing for cutting the weeds Is a dead letter. So elated City Health Officer Davis this morning. H said that if it was taken 1o court and he was asked to prove that weeds were "detrimental to the health of the community," as the ordinance holds, be would not prove such to be the case. The question was call- . od up by the complaint against the weeks allowed to grow on the resi- : dence lots of W. D. Foulke in the : eoutbwest part of the city. City Attor- ; ney Gardner was instructed to draw i up another. ordinance. Street Commissioner Oenn was noti- : fled to cut the weeds on the city's property from Kinsey street north along the river bank and to haul in and deposit there all good dirt he can secure. The board signed the contract with the manager of the Richmond Cityl Band for concerts at the Glen this summer. The first is to be held next Sunday afternoon to consist of not less than ten numbers and to last two ' hours. There will be fifteen musicians in the band. Supt. Hollarn is to judge : whether the weather is unfavorable for concerts. The concerts shall be twelve in number and shall be so arranged that two are to be given at the Glen July 4. The board ordered a water line laid and a fountain placed in the west side park, and the fountain in the South Tenth street park dedicated by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is to be placed l in position soon, by next week probably. The board ordered South Seventh street opened from J to L street. Extreme measures will soon have to be adopted in regard to caring for Northwest Fifth street where the . heavy hauling is causing the street to 'be cut Into deep ruts. The surface binder is being ground into fine dust and blown away. It may be picked up and rolled and oiled. This will be decided later.

' Polynesia Is probably the only place tn the world where the marriage feast takes place without the presence of the bridegroom. For some unexplained reason the young man Is "sent into the bush" when negotiations are opened with the family of bis bride, and he remains there during the subsequent festivities. It Is only when the guests have departed and the girl Is left alone with his parents that messengers are dispatched for him. Needed Them All. . A well known authoress was ones talking with a dilapidated bachelor, who retained little but his conceit. "It Is time now," he said pompously, "for me to settle down as a married man, but I want so much. 1 want youth, health, wealth, of course; beauty, grace" . "Yes," said his fair listener sjnnpathetically.you poor man, you do -want them all."' ' filewly Mending. 1 She And how la your bachelor friend? He When X saw him last he was mending very slowly.

The text consists of a letter written ty the inventor of the . pendulum clock to Mme. Christine of Lorraine in 1615. EXPECT WATSON TO LEAVE TAFT BY CARL, MOTE. CHICAGO, June ; 13. James E. Watson failed to appear as attorney for the Taft contestants in Missouri at noon today when the case was called, despite Ti e 'fact it had been advertised that he would appear against Governor Hadley, attorney for the Roosevelt forces. Watson is oh the point of kicking out of the traces altogether and deserting Taft for Roosevelf. Indiana Taft managers failed to give him a membership on any of the national convention committees and Watson is fighting mad. What Watson may do as a result of the insult is uncertain, but he does not want to vote for William Howard Taft for president. Six of the Mississippi Taft delegates seated today, it is certain, will vote for Roosevelt on the first ballot. Colonel Roosevelt's war camp was moved from the third floor of the Congress hotel to the. Florentine room today. It was well stocked with ammunition in the form of literature directed against President Taft and his backers, Roosevelt speeches and campaign songs and buttons.

A German Dreadnaught in New York Waters

The cruiser dreadnaught Moltke, flagship of the German Imperial Squadron, which is now paying friendly visits to Atlantic coast cities of the United States, photographed as the great vessel was at anchor in the North River, off Riverside Drive, New York, where the sailors and officers of the squadron were giving a rousing welcome by a citizens committee. The cruiser Stettin, another German warship, is shown in the background. A FEW SIDELIGHTS Interesting Facts About Some of the Party Leaders Who Are Playing the Important Parts. (National News Association) CHICAGO, June 13. George A. Knight, California National committeeman and battler for Teddy, is a powerful man politically and physically. He is built like a giant, has a typical Golden State ruddiness of complexion and a winning smile. The last disappears, however, when he talks about steam rollers. He is here with his dander mounting another notch with each "crunch" of the Taft roller. But beneath the war paint of the western leader is a gentler side of his nature. It peaks out from behind his political armor when he talks suffrage. He's for the women and all the time. "Out in California ho saw no real reason why the women should not vote," he smiled. "We believed they were entiled to enfranchisement and they've proved it now that they've had the chance. "Women are the same in other states, which, of course, I'm not able to say, why shouldn't they be given the ballot everywhere? A woman is a primal factor in modern day affairs and why should. she not have her place at the polls?" Every place and any place has been turned into a political hobnobbing station during the big convention time here. Perhaps the most unique was discovered by Gilford Pinchot and former Governor Pardee of California, Roosevelt enthusiasts, the other day. They hied themselves across Michigan avenue and sequestered themselves on on of the benches that overlook the Illinois Central railroad tracks oppoeite the Congress hotel. On every side of them happened to be other conferees, but these were members of the usual "bo" class to be found asleep or awake on most empty benches. Two of these, spying Pinchot and Pardee, sought them out when they were in the midst of their conference to make a "touch." They were successful. Joseph R. Ball, delegate-at-large from He believes in the Colonel even tot the extent of being paterfamilias in a home where there are ten children. Delegate Ball, however, has left his youngsters at home. Half a dozen bluecoated messengers of the telegraph companies and not a few other spectators were led to reveal their Republican leaning near the Congress hotel when a furniture moving van backed up to the curb and began unloading several giant paintings of Col. Roosevelt. They were monster, works in oil, portraying the Colonel in hunting costume. The youngsters started to shout, and there was a stray handclap or two when the coverings were slipped off the paintings. The canvasses were by VanNess and were to be placed in the Roosevelt

j 'iirilWii 1 if ' " - 3COTOS OF THE CONVENTION headquarters at the Congress. Politicians were amused in the Congress lobby today when they overheard an argument on Kansas. It was between Governor Stubbs, Roosevelt booster, and Col. E. J. Crull, a Taft delegate from Round Up, Montana. The colonel Is one of the millionaires of the Musselshell country district. Eut he was not always a millionaire, according to his story and the argument. Col. Crull, it seems, landed for the first time in Kansas when he was a young man and had made a few unfortunate financial moves which left him in poverty. The result was that he lost out with the girl he wanted to marry and drifted on to Montana where he found more propserity. Gov. Stubbs would not concede a point disparaging his state and told bis opponent that he should have waited in coming to Kansas until the irrigationists had reached the state. From porter to state senator and influential politician is the record of Senator Patrick Sullivan of Casper, Wyo., who arrived at the Auditorium hotel with Mrs. Sullivan to attend the convention as a delegate. Twenty-eight years ago he was a poor boy in New York. He took Horace Greeiy's advice and went west, and after a struggle procured a small bunch of sheep, which was the beginning of his mammoth sheep and cattle ranch. He has been in the Wyoming 6tate legislature for more than 16 years. "I am for President Taft," he said, "and so is our delegation. We have woman's suffrage in Wyoming. Mrs. Sullivan votes.

will eventually be given the right franchise all through the country."

James E. Watson, one of the "Big Four" of Taft delegates at large from Indiana whom the steam-roller seated in the convention is an optimist, but he tempers well his optimism. Mr. Watson has beaten Senator Crawford Kennedy's record as a convention fan. "My father took me t my first convention when I was eleven years old," he said, "and I heard the wonderful cration of Ingersoll in nominating James G. Blaine. I became Sred with a desire never to miss a Republican national convention and thus far I always have managed to get a ticket." Sai mon of Thro Hours and a Half. Charles II. was wont in his humorous way to say of his chaplain, Dr. Barrow, that he was the most unfair preacher In England because he exhausted every subject and left no room for others to come after him.
