MAYOR PROMISES i BIGJAX BOOST Says Democrats Muddled Things So Badly This Action Is Imperative. Charges that the former administration did not use the city's funds wisely were made by Mayor Zimmerman at the board of works meeting this morning, when a method for securing $24,000 for the payment of the special street bonds for next year was considered. The mayor said that the preceding administration received $75,000 in sequestered taxes, $58,000 from the light plant, which had been borrowed of the city several years before, but had to borrow $25,000. The mayor contends that the administration with 'this much money in the treasury should have made provision for payi ing the special street bonds. "Sure the taxes are going to be 'raised," said the mayor. "We have to pay back that $24,000, or rather we tare going to pay it back and save the interest, ad then have to make other improvements. The taxes are now $1.10 and they will have to go higher." The board of works allowed a num- : ber of bills this morning, among j them one for $50 for meat inspector's salary from May 20 until June 20. The j board decided that oiling on the roads 'of the Glen this year would have to jbe dispensed with because of the I heavy expense. The street car company officials ar- ! rived in this city yesterday and spent jpart of the afternoon with President ! Hammond of the board of works in a jtour of the lines of the city. The ofificials stated the work here was not ; being neglected, but that lack of laborers prevented the company from carrying on its work with more speed. The 'completion of all the work in the city i before bad weather is promised. The ! company will start work on North E ! street from Sixteenth to Twentieth street as soon as the city starts repairling its part of this street. The company 'is working on EaBt Main street, West Main street, Sheridan street, and will i start laying heavy rails on South (Eighth street soon.

It is for all ; these that the Young Men's Christian Assiciation has planned this summer school in order that the work may jbe made up and the boys continue on (with their classes in the fall instead ' of being kept back, j All the boys who last year took the ' summer work were promoted with their classes.

SAVED THE SCENE. i Fchter'a Prsnc of Mind Whin the Stag Ocan Broke Loos. "Fechter once staged a melodrama, ' Bald a theatrical man. "in which the grand feature was a ship in a storm at sea. The sea was a vast expanse of green baize with a runway in the midst, invisible . to the audience, through which the gallant vessel was to careen. The storm was produced by a lot of boys under the baize, who agitated it by flopping their arms and bodies vigorously. In the midst of : this furious upheaving while the dust arose from the briny deep and the crackling thunders reverberated from great sheets of tin, rattled with equal fury back of the scenes, the ship came on, bobbing and rolling, with Fechter as captain standing in the bow issuing stentorian orders to his men through a speaking trumpet. On the crucial first night, when the turning of a hair might damn or save the piece. Just as the vessel reached the center of the stage, one of the stormmakers split the baize over him and suddenly a perspiring, bewildered boy stood np in the midst of the green sea waves. Of course all the chances were for the everlasting ruination of the play, but before the audience appreciated the situation Fechter took it in . hand. " 'Man overboard r he bellowed, and, swooping down, he grabbed the astonished boy and dragged him aboard." Chicago Tost. .
News Forecast For Coming Week
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 6. President Taft is scheduled to return to Washington Monday from his brief outing at Beverly. It is expected that some time during the week the subcommittee of nine, appointed from the Republican national committee, will wait on the President to learn his wishes regarding the conduct of his campaign. The week will probably see a conference of some of the Democratic national leaders to discuss preliminaries incident to the beginning of the presidential campaign. The third party movement will manifest itself in the holding of conferences in a number of the states to organize in the interest of the Roosevelt presidential candidacy. Republicans of Iowa are to meet in state convention in Des Moines Wednesday to name candidates for supreme court judges and adopt a platform. The national convention of the Prohibition party for the nomination of candidates for President and Vice President will be called to order on Wednesday in Atlantic City. Among those now mentioned for the head of the ticket are Dr. Aaron S. Watkins, of Ohio; Francis E. Baldwin, of New York; Eugene W. Chafin, of Arizona, Andrew J. Houston of Texas and Madison F. Larkin, of Pennsylvania. The Duke of Connaught, accompanied by Princess Patricia, is due to arrive in Winnipeg Tuesday to begin his tour of the Canadian West. On the day following his arrival in the western metropolis His Royal Highness SEEK COMPROMISE IN GALYEAN CASE The case of the Dickinson Trust company, administrator of the estate of the late Alvin R. Galyean, versus the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company which was set for trial in the Wayne circuit court yesterday was not heard. The attorneys in the case are attempting to effect a compromise but as yet nothing definite has been done. The plaintiff is asking $10,000 damages for the death of Alvin Ross Galyean, who, it is alleged, was asphyxiated in the basement of the L. H. & P. plant last September. Jurymen in the case summoned yesterday morning were obliged to remain in the circuit court room during the entire day. Late in the afternoon they were informed that they could leave and instructed not to report until called again. Woolen and Worsted. If a piece of woolen cloth is examined through a microscope the two yarns warp and weft are found to be so crossed and closely matted together as to be indistinguishable, but in a piece of worsted material you can easily distinguish them. This is due to the fact that woolen goods are made from short stapled carded wools, whose fibers in the process of carding have been made to overlap each other so as to become closely matted or felted, while worsted goods are made from long stapled wools that have been carded and then combed till the fibers lie as straight and parallel as possible.

will officiate at the opening of the Canadian Industrial Exhibition. Thursday is the day fixed for the general elections . in the Province of Saskatchewan. A spirited campaign is in progress and both parties appear confident of victory. The result of the elecyon will be of more than local interest as it is expected to afford an indication of whether there has been any change of views on the part of the people of Western Canada on the subject of reciprocity with the United States. The most important events on the program of the Olympic games in Stockholm will be decided during the week. These events will include all of the principal athletic fixtures in which the Americans will take part. Saturday will see the finals in the standing high jump, the discus throw, the 400-meter and team race. On the following day will take place the great Marathon race, in which America hopes to repeat her victory achieved at London two years ago.

I. M. C. A. HERE TO GET A HIGH PLACE . The Richmond Y. M. C. A. is assured a high place in the standing of associations in the International Bible examinations which were held some time ago. Herbert S. Pettijohn, boys' secretary, today received a letter from the secretary of the committee, which passed upon the examinations, saying that eighty-tjven of the local Bible students passed the examinations. Last year but thirty-three passed the examination, when the local institution secured tenth place in the list of honors. This year, Mr. Pettijohn believes, Richmond will take the highest honors or will be among the first two or three institutions making the best record. Forced to It.

WANTS REPUBLICAN TO RON WITH T, R,
Heney Makes This Statement at Oyster Bay While Visiting the Colonel. (National News Association) OYSTER BAY, July 6 Francis J. Heney, the San Francisco reformer, today held a conference with Colonel Roosevelt. At the railroad station, while Heney was discussing the probable makeup of the Progressive ticket he expressed the opinion that Roosevelt's running mate will be a Republican. "You are quoted a day or so ago as saying that you thought Judge Lindsey, of Denver, would be the man for the vice presidential nomination?" said a reporter. "Before the nomination of Wilson I favored a progressive Democrat as Roosevelt's running mate. Now I am inclined to think a Republican would be better, but I haven't fully made up my mind as yet." Asked how the Progressive movement is developing on the coast, Mr. Heney replied he had not been there for some weeks and was unable to talk authoratively of the third party sentiment in California. "I don't know whether the Progressive Democrats there are going to get in line for Wilson or not," Heney went on. "My idea is that Roosevelt has not lost any strength in that state. I will know more of the situation when I get back." When asked about his Baltimore trip, Mr. Heney said with a laugh that he was just looking around. L SOCIETY FOR EAST. Mr. C. C. Allen and Mr. W. M.
