SLAPPED MAYOR HOOS.
street aud Water Board Overrides
Veto.

Veto.
The Street and Water Commissioners
gave Mayor Hoos hard slap yesterday.
They repassed resolution which His
Honor had vetoed. Every vote was
against the Mayor. Three weeks ago, the
Street and Water Board passed an ordi-
nance allowing the Crew-Levitt Company
to have spur run into its works from
the West Shore Railroad. The ordinance
allowed the company to have track at
grade across Monmouth street, at Seven
teenth street.
A few weeks ago like privilege was
granted the Pagan Iron Works Company.
AT that time it was agreed by the Com
missioners and interested property own
ers that should any other concern want
No sooner had the Board granted the
CreW-Levitt Company's petition than An
drew j. Corcoran and other public spir-
tied citizens of that section waited on
the Mayor and urged him to veto the or
dinance. Two years or more ago petl-
ton was filed with the Street and Water
Board for the opening OF Seventeenth
Shore Railroad Company stepped in and
tied up the proposed Improvement. Since
that interference the property owners
have been angry. Consequently when
the Crew-Levitt application made its ap-
pearance it was jumped on.
Mayor Hoos vetoed the ordinance on the
ground that he was opposed to grade
crossings. The Street and Water Commits
sioners take the stand that if industries
are to be encouraged to locate in the
northern section of the city, privileges
must be extended them They say, too,
that they are opposed to making fish OF
one firm and flesh of another.

For the past three weeks work on the
new building of School No. 1s, on john
ston and Manning avenues, has been at
q standstin The cause of the delay was
the scarcity of the buff bricks. which are
to be used, in the construction of the front
walls The bricks ran out five weeks ago,
hut in order to lose as little time as pos
sibie the erection of the rear and side
walls was continued. Work was pushed
ii,st as far as it was possible to go with
ont the buff brick This brick is manu-
factured by the Columbus Brick Com
pany of Ohio. The architect. Mr. Fred
ericix Long, and the contractor tried ey-
erywhere to get a supply of the same ma
feriaI. but could not get the same shade.
Consequently, the work has remained at
q standstill ever since. The COLUMBUS
firm sent on a supply of bricks yesterday
and work was resumed this morning with
an extra gang of workmen. From now on
the work will be pushed rapidly in or
der to make ND for lost time. Mr., Long
expects to finish the building by the lat
ter part of July.

ister Meaning.
DANGER TO THE REPUBLIC

NEW YORK, December 20-There were
the womans board of home missions of
the Presbyterian Church in this city today
The object of the meeting was to inaugu-
rate an aggressive campaign to prevent the
seating of Brigham H. Roberts, an avowed
polygamist, as representative from Utah in
the Fifty-sixth Congress.
The Rev. VIM. R. Campbell of Salt Lake
City introduced Eugene Young, a grandson
OF Brigham Young, and Mrs. Fannie Stem
house
Mr.. Young said. among other things
Ihere seems to be a disposition in the
east, particularly among the politicians, but
even among the churches, to treat the re-
v1val Of the Mormon issue as a minor mat
ter.
There is an inclination to view the cleo
tion to Congress of B. II. Roberts-a three
or four-ply polygamist. still living in polyg
amy-as an unavoidable outcome of thai
condition in Utah and mere question OF
personal morality. Some day they will see
as those who know Mormon ambitions see
now, that Mr.. Roberts is a mere instru.
ment, the representative of mighty forces
fhey will learn that through his election
a people $4,000 strong have turned from
American liberty and American morality
and have taken the initial step toward the
establishment of a hierarchy foreign to oui
institutions and our social laws in the
midst of our republic.
II in dragging poiygamy into the House
OF Reprasen tatiyes Mr.. Roberts is repre-
senting the defiant sentiment of the whole
Mormon people, then the people must not
rest until Congress has cast him out as
a warming to all covenant breakers and
all polygamists."

WIFE BEATERS ARRAiGNED.
Judges Estimate of Proper Punish
ment for Them.

Louis Bowman, big colored man. was in
the Police Court this morning for an al
legged assault on his wife. Mrs. Sarah Bow
man, the wife, a frail little woman ap-
peared on TIE witness stand and told the
court of her domestic troubles. Her hus-
band, she said, came home under the in
fuence Of liquor and struck her. She was
compelled to swear out the warrant for
him, she said in order to protect herself
in the future.
1t was her request that the court should
not send him to Jail this time. He has "a
good job she said, and as he is her only
support she was willing to forgive him
Should he repeat the offenSe, she said, she
would let the law take its course
Judge kimball granted her request by
releasing her husband his personal
bonds to appear for sentence. In doing SO
the court said 1t was for just such men as
Bowman that whipping post is needed.
The helpless women, the court said have
to stand all the punishment, and when the
men are arrested they are forced to beg
them off because they are dependent upon
them for support. About thirty stripes
well laid on, the judge thought, would he
the proper punishment.
Enoch Smiler, also colored, was also be-
fore the court on charge of wife beat
ing. His wife did not appear to prosecute
him, nor did she appear to ask for his re-
lease. Other witnesses did appear how
ever, and the penalty was $40 fine or sixty
days in Jail. Hs did lot have the amount
OF fine imposed.
