BONDS AND TAX INCREASE.
City Administration Practically Adj
mits the Journals Contention.

For a week the Journal has quoted opin-
ions of certain city officials, whose names
have been withheld because of the strict
press censorship which prevails in the Of
fees of the city government in regard to
matters of Importance. that when the time
came to buy the water works and improve
the land for the park system, it will be
necessary to issue more bonds up to the
limit and then increase the tax levy. Yes
terday the city administration announced
that to make the first payment of 100000
on the water works it will be necessary to
issue 91a per cent. bonds, and that things
may be helped along somewhat by raising
the tax levy from the present 60 cents to 20
cents.
The city administration is looking about
for a plan to finance the two big schemes it
has on hand. The flremen have been forced
to submit to wage cut of one-seventh in
order to prevent deficiency in the appro-
priation for that department for the year
amounting to $1,000. and vacancies which
will occur during the year in the police de-
partment will not be filled to prevent a de-
f1ciency there of 1000 The matter of police
subStations much as they are claimed to be
needed, has been deferred because there is
no money with which to build and equip
them but circumstances, it is claimed will
demand them by next year. Street repairs,
more than the receipts this year from We
hicle licenses. The reappraisement of real
estate next year may add $4,000 to the tax
receipts. When the city buys the water
works and begins to improve the lands for
tho park system it is hoped the annual pay
ments of 100000 on the first requirement
and the thousands of dollars necessary from
year to year in the improvement of the sec
ond will be- raised in some way. There
seems to be a sentiment that Providence
will provide. 1t will be remembered that
the city administration has already issued
500 600 of bonds, which cannot be refunded
before the thirty years have elapsed, and
that when that time comes $500, 000 800 900
more than the original investment will
have been paid in interest.
Pursuant to resolution adopted at the
last meeting of the Council the mayor the
Board of Public Works and the Council
committee on contracts and franchises will
meet Tomorrow morning to discuss further
the plan of buying the water works and to
send to VIM. B. Hord, of New York who
will engineer the deal, a request for a direct
proposition from the owners of the water
company. The city officials are united in
faVoring the scheme of the New York man
for the purchase of the water works.

BROKE THE GROCER'S LEG.
Fred Phillips Claims He Was Tainted
as .'White-Feather' Soldier.

Bicycle Patrolman Lancaster was last
night called to the corner of Seventeenth
and Bellefontaine streets to attend to a
serious neighborhocd disturbance, in which
Grocer William A. Schofeld suffered brok-
en- leg at the hands of Fred Phillips. of 1910
Cornell avenue. No arrests We're made, how
ever, Phillips being allowed his liberty on
his fathers bond for his appearance in Po-
lice Court to-day. The stories told by the
belligerents differ widely.
Phillips says he was a member of the
old National Guard and went to Camp
Mount with the rest of the troops AS he is
only nineteen years old, however. 1t was
thought best that he should not go away
with his company. and. accordingly. he left
camp and returned 10 his home. Since that
time, he says, Schofield has been contin-
ually Haunting his apparent desertion in his
words white feather" This has caused a
very bitter feeling between the two and last
night as he stood in front of Schofield's
store the latter angered him so that he
away by Schofield. On his refusal 10 go.
he was slapped in the face. SO he says, and
became so angered that he picked up a
store and threw ii at ScEofejd, striking him
in the right leg and breaking il by way of
retaliation.
Sehoield's story Of the affair is that Phil
lips is one of crowd of young men who
hang about the corner and make themselves
obnoxious by swearing and making unseen
lyi remarks to the women who pass. Last
night he says he ordered them away and
Phillips retorted with an insulting remark
that exhausted his patience. and he slapped
his face. Phillips at once picked up stone
and threw IL with such force TO break the
grOcers leg. He was taken TO his home at
2220 BeilefOntane street. where he was at
tended by DR.. Marcy.

A VIRTUOSO in HIS LINE
TOOHEY PLAYED FOR VICTIMS
RATHER THAN "FOR ARTS SAKE"
A ''PianO-PIaying-Mad Device
Used by Him-He Is Now
in Jail.

Magistrate Hay yesterday issued a war;
rant for the arrest of William E. Toohey,
who gave as his place of residence, "wher-
ever my hat is off, and who is charged
with obtaining money under false pretenses.
The man was found by Constable Glass
Wednesday night at the Enterprise Hotel,
where he had made an appointment with a
prospective victim. The story CLEANED from
the testimony of two of his alleged dupes
is embraced in what follows:
Toohey came to town about three weeks
ago from no one knows where. Hardly had
he comfortably settled himself in boarding
house on North Illinois street when he in
serted an advertisement in an even
ing paper offering to sell state
rights for new and easy method
of piano instruction by means of
a contrivance of cardboard made to fit
over the keys of the instrument His first
reply came from Ella w. Vickery, of this
city, who paid him $40 in all for the ex-
elusive Indiana rights. This was on June
8, and the next day Toohey is said to have
sold another exclusive" right for this
State to Charles S. Darnel, who also paid
him 500 for the right to sell the article.
Hardly had the latter paid over his money
and made arrangements to go into the bust
ness on large scale when he saw an adj
vertisement in the same paper asking for
canvassers for the same article which he
had bought the right to sell exclusively.
The advertisement was signed by Vickery,
tain an interview with him. AS a result,
the two men got together and talked the
affair over. finally agreeing on a plan for
the apprehension of Toohey. 1t was ar
arranged that they should both answer an
other advertisement published. by Toohey;
in which he stated that he had gold
mine" for a couple of energetic men who
had $500 to invest in a sure thing" A
meeting was arranged with Toohey at the
there together Wednesday night. With
them, however, went Constable Glass, who
had a warrant for Toohey's arrest on the
above charge. Toohey took his arrest phil
osophically. No money was found on his
person at the Jail. Since his arrest another
victim of his exclusive" scheme has been
found He will be tried to-day before JUS
tice Hay.

THE ASSIGNEE SUES.
Asks Court to Set Aside Preferred
CIune Mortgages.

Under the direction of the court, John
r. WEIGH, assignee for John Clune, yesterday
brought suit in the Circuit Court to set
aside the mortgages given to preferred
creditors by Clune about the time of his as
signment on June 16.-Chune's assets in
clude the stocks of goods at his Washington
street establishments, the Worlds Fair"
and THE Leader" Clune gave mortgages
to the following preferred creditors: Mar
garet Clune, $1,000; H.. B. Claff1in & Co., of
New York, $22 455.57; James +. White, $1,000;
George W. Sisk, $1,000.
The complaint of the assignee shows that
the deed of assignment was filed by Clune
on June 16 1898, and that these mortgages,
purporting to secure promissory notes, were
given after Clune had entered upon the
making of the deed. In the case of Mar
garet Clune, the assignee charges that the
mortgage was given without consideration
and was executed for the fraudulent pur-
pose of hindering and delaying creditors.
The assignee charges that each OF these
mortgages is void. Clune, it is averred, mas
an indebtedness of $40, 600. and the assignee
claims if these mortgages are enforced,
there will not be sufficient funds in bis
hands to settle with the general and legal
creditors. He asks that the mortgages be
set aside.

A DEFAULTER'S REMORSE.
George f. CandaGe, of Boston, Surren-
ders to Local Police.

About noon yesterday George f. Candage
walked into police headquarters and said
to Captain Dawson he wished to give
himself up as a fugitive from justice. He
was accommodated with a CELL hut before
going there he related the story of recent
troubles which led to his coming to this city
in his flight from justice. On May l, he
stated, he was at his desk in South Boston,
employed as bookkeeper by the Bay State
Ice Company. 1t was pay day and the pay
envelopes were before him, containing In all
$500. He was alone I'm charge of the money.
He says he had been drinking heavily for
some days before, and, although he fire.
quently had had much larger sums belong
ing to the company in his possession, yet an
uncomfortable desire TO take the money
seized him and he yielded to the Impulse.
All the envelopes were emptied into his
pockets and in half an hour he was on his
way through New Hampshire toward Mia
CARA Falls. Hardly had he LETT the city be-
fore he repented of his action, but IL was
then too late to go back, so be pressed on
to Chicago, where he spent a part of the
money in drinking and carousing. His ex-
psrience in this direction was cut short
when he was waylaid one night in the lcvee
district of Clark street and. after being
his roll This somewhat sohered him He
remained in the city, trying TO secure work.
Remorse and poverty finally bred feeling
Of unrest. He boarded Big Four freight
train "Wednesday night and arrived here
about o'clock yesterday morning. After
walking about the city for hours he finally
became Disguised with his condition and
made up his mind TO give himself up. He
said he was willing to go back to Boston,
and seemed TO be as anxious TO hear from
the police of that city as the police here
were.
A telegram was received last night at
police headquarters from Inspector OF Po-
lice William b. Watts, of Boston reuuest-
Ing that the local police hold candage until
an officer can arrive here 10 take him back
10 Boston. The officer left Boston last night
with requisition papers from the Governor
OF Massachusetts.

Insist on Milk Certificates.

City Sanitarian Clark said yesterday that
the people should insist on their dairymen
procuring certificates that their cows have
been tested. Unless this is done, he says
the attempt to have nothing but pure milk
sold in the city will fail. 1t is estimated
that there are about 1000 cows in and
around the city. Seventeen hundred of
these cows have been tested and found
healthy. The condition of the rest is not
known. Much milk is shipped in from near
by towns and sold at groceries and milk
depots. When people buy milk at these
places, DR.. Clark says. they should demand
to be shown certificates. In this way II
would be necessary for those who ship milk
into the city to have their cows tested or all
milk would in time be bought from local
dairymen whose cows have been tested and
their good condition certified to. DR.. Clark
urges that the people take up this matter
earnestly in the interest of pure food.

Identifies the Hollweg Burglar.

Superintendent of Police Quigley yester-
day received a letter from A. NJ. Tomlnson,
chief of the secret service of the police de-
partment of Richmond, Va, stating that
the circulars sent out by the department of
this city regarding the robbery of the house
of Louis Holweg. No. sos North Meridian
street, recently, had fixed the identity of
the man as that of a notorious criminal OF
Philadelphia, who had often been arrested
in Richmond for similar crimes The de-
scription tallies exactly with their knowl-
edge of the man and his methods there. His
name is Pusey Walton, and he is wanted in
many places, but has by his ingenuity so
far escaped long sentences.
On one occasion he went into st. Luke $
Hospital, OF Richmond, and represented
that he was an inspector for the electric
light company. He was allowed to go
through the building and helped himself to
a diamond ring and other valuables before
he was suspected. For this crime he has
never been arrested.

Prisoner Allen Pleaded Illness.

David Allen, of No. AZ Ashland street,
who was arrested Wednesday night on a
warrant issued by the Circuit Court of
Boone county at the instance of Sheriff
Price, of Lebanon, was taken to that place
yesterday. The first attempt TO move him
yesterday morning was futile one as he
claimed to be i'll. and was allowed to stay
in bed at the police station until late in the
afternoon. Allen says the charge against
lenses is a false one, and he will be ac-
quilted when tried At the time OF his ar
rest he was acting as agent for a photog-
rapher in Lebanon, and secured various
amounts OF money as advance payments on
work 10 be done. Neither Sheriff Price nor
the local police officers know any of the cir
cumstances beyond these facts, and Allen
refuses to say anything regarding his case.
