WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Experts in mu-
nicipal Improvements from various cities in
the United States and Canada met here to-
day at the Arlington Hotel in attendance at
the fifth annual convention of the American
Society of Municipal improvements The
attendance was rather small at the opening,
but more delegates are expected. The fea-
lures of the morning session were an adj

president of the Board of Commissioners of
this District and the response by the presi-
Newark, n. J. Mr.. Van Duyne said that
coincident with the advance in city develop
ment the past few years was the increased
value of the franchises that had been given
to many companies, and which, the presi-
dent said, shared only a small part of the
public burdens properly belonging to them,
while the tax burdens of others had pro-
portionately increased. He knew of no rea-
son why the companies owning franchises
should not contribute their share to the sup
port of the schools and other city expenses.

LAUREL, Ind, Oct 26.-Capt. w. L. Day
this evening shot and probably fatally
wounded l.. M. Boland, editor Of the Re-
view, at this place. The bullet entered his
abdomen. Boland some time last summer
began criticising Mr.. Day for not taking
more interest In the then agitation for a
bonus to a company to build a switch to
one of the stone quarries at this place. Mr..
Day called on Boland at that time and
warned him to leave his name entirely out
of his paper. Recently. however Boland
again criticised Day for not supporting what
is called the taxpayers ticket in this coun-
~. Mr.. Day is a stanch Republican and
is using his influence to bring about the
success of that party at the coming cleo
ton. He called at the Review office to-
night and demanded to know why Boland
continued to use his name after being
WARNED not to. Boland accused Day of sew
eral things which he vigorously denied. The
lie was passed and Boland struck Day a
vicious blow under the right eye and started
to follow 1t up when Day pulled a revolver
ana shot him. Captain Day is a veteran of
the civil war and one of the best known
men in Franklin county. He has the SYM
pathy OF 80 per cent. of the people here.

made at Tonawanda, where, despite
drenching rain, at. least 1000 people crowded
about the train. Colonel Roosevelt spoke
very briefly. merely thanking the people for
coming out in the rain to welcome him. He

Cambern's Name May Not BE on the
Ticket in Decatur County.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
GREENSBURG, Ind, Oct. 26-The judi
cial muddle3in this circuit continues, with
every indication of the final election of a
Democratic judge. At a meeting of the
election commissioners the Democratic
member objected to the petition filed in be-
half of Cambern and Roland on the grounds
that they did not give the postoffice address
of the petitioners nor the fact that the pc
titioners desired to vote for Cambern and
Roland. The commissioners adjourned to
meet Friday next. Cambern and Roland
were notified to appear and show why their
names should appear upon the ticket The
withdrawal of the certificate of nomination
for judge and prosecutor made by the Rush
county convention is conclusive that the
position assumed by Decatur was correct.
The statute appears to be plain that each
petitioner must give his residence and post
office address and declare his intentions to
vote for the candidates named in the petit
ton. This, CamDerlIs friends claim, is not
mandatory. The petition filed by the friends
of Judge Myers, of this county, appears TO
be correct, and the Democratic commission
er is insisting that his name appear on the
ticket instead of Car5ern's.
The board OF election commissioners is
not judicial tribunal. and cannot say what

be addressed to the powers declining the
serious consequences which the assumption
of the Cuban debt would have upon the
solvency of Spain. Having done this they
will bow to the inevitable because they have
