THE COUNCIL COMMITTEES
PROPOSITION TO ENACT A CUR
FEW ORDINANCE DISCUSSED.
Bicyclists VIII Be Put Under Re
strictions to Insure Safety of Ped
estrians-A. C. Sadler's Claim.

The need of curfew law and the
wisdom of including more sidewalks in
the prohibited bicycling districts were
subjects of consideration by the coun-
Gil committee on municipal laws last
evening. Councilman Diehrs bill for
an ordinance declaring it unlawful for
children under the age of 10 years to
be at large after D. m, was amended
by making the danger hour o'clock
This was done on request OF Council
man Wallace, who wanted it made safe
for the boys and girls who attend Mu-
tual Improvement association meet
ings. The bill will be recommended
for passage at the next council meet
ing.
MORE SIDEWALKS PRESCRIBED.
The proposed ordinance to prohibit
the riding of bicycles on certain side
walks outside of the business or paved
district was amended until the follow
ing additional sidewalks are pro-
scribed: State street, from the Eagle
gate to North Temple; Canyon road;
First, Second and Third street side
walks from Canyon road to A street;
the north sidewalk of Brigham street,
from Main to E street; the south side
of First South and the north side of
Second South. from State to Second
East; the north side of Second South,
from West Temple to First West, and
both sidewalks on First South, from
West Temple TO First West street.
The ordinance will be recommended
for passage Tuesday evening.
WANTS A CITY LOT FOR NOTHING.
In the opinion of the committee on
public grounds, Alma c. Sadler will
have to resort to the courts if he hopes
to succeed in getting a mayors deed,
under the townsite act, to a vacant
city lot on North Temple street near
the corner of Sixth West. The COM
mittee gave the claimant a hearing in
support Of his claim, but Mr.. Sadler
did not make a very favorable impress
sion on the councilmen. His adverse
title consists of a purpOrted assign
ment of the original settlers certifi-
cate from the city surveyor and void
tax sale lien. On crOSS-eXaminatiOn
the claimant admitted that when the
city'S lot was assessed and sold for
delinquent taxes as John Does prop
erty, he was employed in the tax col
lector's office. Although twice before
his claim to a deed has been rejected
by former administrations for good and
sufficient cause, Mr.. Sadler could not
explain why he did not before now
bring suit against the city to quiet
title The matter was referred to the
city attorney.
The several other committees last
evening disposed of routine matters
and approved department payrolls for
the half month, aggregating about
So 500.

NEGROES WILL Be LYNCHED
THREE MURDERERS SECURED
BY A MOB.
Killed Three Aged People For. Their
Money, and Confessed the Crime
Will Be Taken to the Scene.

Montgomery, Ala, June 16.--On Tues
day night, seven miles north of We
tumpka, William Garden and his wife,
an old couple, and William Carlo, also
an I'D man, We're murdered and their
house burned to conceal the crime.
Garden boarded his money, and the
party were murdered to secure it.
Yesterday Sol Jackson, Lewis Speier
and another negro We're arrested for
the crime. Late this afternoon crowd
of 500 men from the neighborhood of
the crime gathered at Wetumpka to
mob the prisoners. Since they have
been in Jail TWO of the murderers,
Jackson and Speier, confessed and told
where they had buried the money,
$1,000.
The mob broke into the Jail about 5
O'Clock, but were unable to get into the
inner cage, where the prisoners were.
The sheriff telegraphed the governor
for troops, and at o'clock tonight
about SO of the former members of the
military companies here left on a spe-
cial train.
A few minutes after o'clock word
was received that the mob succeeded
in getting blacksmith tools, broke open
the cage and secured the prisoners.
The intention of the mob, it is stated,
is 10 take them to the scene of the
crime and there hang them. The mill
tary company will not reach Watump-
ka in time to oppose the mob.

MURDERERS FROM ALASKA.
Big Batch of Criminals Brought
Down BY Marshal Shoup.

Seattle, Wash, June 16.-Ten federal
prisoners arrived here today on the
steamer Queen from Alaska in charge
of United States Marshal Shoup. They
will be taken to San Quentin Over
one-haIf of them are murderers under
sentence of Imprisonment for terms
from six years to life. Among them are
an Eskimo named Michall, who killed
his father and mothel, at Fort Wrangel;
F. Moulder of Unga, who killed wo-
man named Mrs. Antoine; F. Corbett,
J. S. Patrick and II. Brooks, the trio
convicted of the murder of Sam ROD
erts at Dyea last March.
United States Marshal Shoup says:

ington-New Camp to Be Estab-

More Transports to Be Chartered.

Washington, June 1.-THE war de-
partment expects to utilize approx
mately 35 transports in the expedition
for the invasion of Porto Rico. This
statement was made officially at the
department. 1t seems to indicate that
the Porto Rico army will equal, If not
exceed, the number which left for San
tiago. The estimate is made that the
IS vessels will carry between $4,000 and
10000 men, with their equipments and
subsistence Army officials say that
reports which have been received from
reliable sources show that the number
of Spanish soldiers in that country is
only 10000 men, although other state
ments indicate that there is consider
ably less than that number. 1t is fair
to assume, they say, that when the
United States army commences active
operations against the city of San
Juan, every available man in that
place will be impressed into military
service and given a gum Hence they
feel that the army of invasion should
be of such proportions as to leave no
doubt of its ability and capacity to
cope successfully with the enemy.
1t is stated positively that the en-
barkation point for the troops for
Porto Rico has not been finally deter
mined upon yet, and until Secretary
Alger and the president have had an
opportunity to confer with General
Miles, who will return to the city to-
morrow, it will not be determined.
For the purposes of the Porto Rican
expedition Secretary Meiklejohn said
today that the department had now
available II transports, some of which
are already at southern ports, and
these will carry about 5000 men, with
their equipments. Negotiations for the
chartering of other steamers are in
progress, rs vessels having been sub
mitted for inspection, and it is not inn
probable that some transports now en-
gagged in the Santiago expedition will
be utilized. This will depend, however,
entirely upon the aspect of military af-
fairs, as they may develop in eastern

TROOPS FOR PORTO RICO.
Thirty-two Thousand Men Available
For Immediate barkation.


New York, June 16.-According to the
estimates made. by Adjutant General
Corbin, says the Washington CORE
spondent of the Times, the total num-
Der of troops left at Tampa after the
sailing of the Santiago expedition is in
the neighborhood of $4,000. This in
cludes the portion of the Fourth corps
remaining at Mobile, which is regarded
as a sub-station of the Tampa camp.
At Jacksonville, it is estimated by the
adjutant general there are about
5000 men, This would make the
entire strength of the forces most
eligibly located for embarka ton to Por-
to Rico $4,000 men. Little doubt is
harbored that out of this it would be
possible to organize, by the time the
other preparations for the expedition
are completed, an army of $4,000 men,
thoroughly equipped There is some
reason to suppose that portion of the
force left at Tampa may yet be sent
on to Santiago as a second division of
General Skaters army. Should the
SpaniardS prove more numerous and
formidable about Santiago than is ex-
pected, re-enforcements will undoubt-
eddy be hurried there. Several of the
transports engaged for the Santiago
movement were not used in the first
expedition, and these would be avail
able for a second, should it be found
necessary.

return here some time tomorrow Some
of the members of his staff are booked
to come back with him, but several
of them may be left at Tampa for
some time, to attend to such matters
as may be necessary. Inspector Cen
eral Breckenridge and Chief Engineer
Ludlow went to Cuba with the army
of invasion.
The presence of General Miles at
army headquarters is desired by Sec
rotary Alger and the president at this
time, as there are many questions IN
connection with the invasion of Santi-
ago and the projected expedition to
Porto Rico upon which it is desired TO
consult him.

DEWEY NEEDED COUGH DROPS.
His Men Cheered During Battle Until
Thew Were Hoarse.

Washington, June 16.-The state de-
partment has received a report from
Consul Williams, who was situated at
Manila before the outbreak of the
war, describing the battle of Manila, in
which he was a participant, being on
board the Baltimore at one time and
on the flagship Olympia another. The
consul says the battle lasted two and
a half hours and that the Spanish were
outclassed at every point. He says:
Our guns had greater effectiveness,
our officers and men greater bravery.
The crews are h0arse from cheering
and while we suffered for cough drops
and throat doctors, we have no use for
liniments and surgeons" He says

San Francisco, June 17.-Orders have
been issued to have the City of Para
ready to sail with the third Manila
expedition on June %. 1t is not ex-
pected, however, that the transports
viii sail much before July 1. So far
as decided upon they will consist of
the Ohio, Indiana, Morgan City, City
OF Para and Valencia. The last named,
which was secured yesterday, can
carry soc men, is neat and has superior

A BIG EXPEDITION.
Balance of the Philippine Troops May
Go Together.

San Francisco, June 16.-The Bulletin
says:
News was received today that all the
troops now in San Francisco and assigned
for duty at Manila will leave with the
third expedition. This body of men will
be augmented by the regiments now on
the way to this city. Only four transport
ships have actually been secured to ham
die the men. and it is announced that Y
more VIII be needed. 1t is possible that
there will be no fourth expedition, and
that ali of the transports will go out on
the same date.
The third expedition cannot possibly
start on the oath of this month unless
the steamers Indiana, Morgan City and
Ohio are detached and sent out in SQUAD
rons. If the vessels are held for a gem
eral gathering of transports to carry all
of the remaining men for the Philippine

weeks before the fleet can be made ready,

GERMANY's DENIAL.
Will Observe Strict Neutrality In the
Philippines.

Berlin, June 16-The Cologne Gazette
today publishes a note understood to
be semi official which reads as follows:
According to trustworthy Informal
tion all conjectures in the press and
political circles iii Spain which are be-
ing built on the supposed intention of
Germany to abandon her neutrality in
the Philippines question are entirely
baseless. In Spanish official quarters
the arrival OF German men-of-war at
Manila is regarded as perfectly
natural, for the German interests there
demand protection.
