THE COMMISSIONERS TO MEET.

Conference on County Matters.

The Grand Jury Has Asked for a
Conference ON County Matters.
The county commissioners will hold their
regular monthly meeting this afternoon
but the indications are that there will
be little outside of the routine business
to attend to.
The commissioners. however. will act
on a letter from the foreman OF the pres
ent grand jury of the superior court Mr..
A. Mace. Duncan. At a recent meeting
OF the grand jury Il was decided TO ask
the commissioners for a conference with
reference to matters pertaining to the
public welfare of the country, and the COM
missioners will no doubt act favorably on
the request and name the day.
1t has been stated that heretofore the
county commissioners have given little
attention to the presentments made by
grand juries, and that these presentments
when sent to the board have been shelved
as Information without being the cause
for any official action. 1t is suspected
that the grand jury would like to see
what can be done toward getting the
commissioners to pay little more atten-
tion to what they say.

WILL HAVE TO PAY THE TAX.
The Worlds Fair I'm Miniature De-
clnred Not Exempt.


The suit for injunction to prevent a levy
by Tax Collector J. J. MCGOWAN for the
amount of the specific tax OF $50 on the
exhibition on Broughton street called the
Worlds Fair in Miniature was heard be-
fore Judge Falligant in chambers YES
terday. The law requires all shows. men
uoISng especially side shows to circuses
to pay this tax, but exempts such as are
hisuionic, operate, musical or eIocution-
airy.
Judge Falligant decided that the exhi-
billion in question did not come within
the list or exceptions 20 the statute and
refused 20 grant the injunction. 1t was
argued AZ behalf of the plaintiff that the
exhibition came within the Evolutionary
Grass as ~ was sort of Illustrated lee
ture, but the court did not consider II so
within the meaning Of the statute.
The prpDrietOrs will now have to nav
the specific tax of $50. or submit to haV-
Ing their models OF the worlds fair build
nlgs sold under execution. As the models
are very valuable and cost a great deal
to make, the prOprietors will no doubt
see 10 1t that the tax is paid. They look on
this, however, as sort of prohibitory act
and since getting into this little scrape
with the tax collector are not very fond

felt that 70 was his duty under the act
to levy the tax. and he gave the proorie-
tors every opportunity an extended them
every courtesy In his power until the mat

TO ANSWER FOR SHOOTING.
Constable Britt Turned over to the
City Court.


City Court.
w ]. Britt was turned over to the city
court by Recorder Wilson yesterday morn
ing for shooting Sidney Lilienthal The
recorder did not consider that the evil
dence showed that the charge of assault
with intent to murder was justified. He
said he would not decide the question,
however, but would leave it to the higher
court.
1t was brought out that the cause of the
difficulty was the threat of Britt to ar
rest a woman in the eastern end of the
city on a warrant for conducting a lewd
house.
Lilienthal charged that this was mere
piece of blackmail and that Britt was en-
gagged in making such arrests for the pur-
pose of extorting money from this class
of people. The woman sought LilienthaPs
advice and he told her not to give bond as
required by Britt
This brought on an alteration between
the two men Monday morning, which was
renewed again at night. The evidence
showed that blows had already passed be-
tween the two men, and that when Britt
fired Lilienthai was approaching him In
a threatening attitude, with his right
hand behind him in the direction of his hip
pocket This the recorder said might have
Justified Britt in firing.
The evidence brought out a state of af-
fairs which has been said to exist for
some time, that some of the constables
and magistrates make a practice of re-
lieving the dull times by procuring war
rants against lewd women. The women
are arrested upon these war
rants and are required TO give a
bond for which they pay 50. They are
given a hearing a few days later and the
charges are dismissed. 1t is said to be
very seldom that these warrants find the r
way to the solicitor generals office. Re
corder Wilson expressed himself very for
chilly upon this practice. Lilienthal called
upon Solicitor General Fraser for the pur-
SORT of business
