STREET RAILWAY FRANCHISES
Principal Topic Discussed Before
the Municipal League.

DETROIT, Aug 3.-After listenirg to soma
exhaustive essays upon water supply, the
members Of the league of American munic-
palities spent the afternoon aboard the ferry
steamer Pleasure, the mayor of Detrot hav-
ing previously assured the convention that
there would be no occasion for thirst as
there was a certainty of good water on al
sides, to say nothing of what refreshments
might be provided board
The question of remuneration to cities for
franchise rights in streets and alleys was
discussed today in paper by Mayor McMur-
ray, of Denver. The theory of the Denver
mayor is that the bi is or ordinances provid n z
for street railway franchises should be pre-
pared by the city authorities; that bids for
privileges granted to the highest bidder, sub
ject, however, to ratification by vote of the
citizens.
Mayor MCGUIRE of Syracuse spoke upon
public water supplies and the advantages
which had accrued to his city from being
naturally in a position to furnish water more
cheaply than any other city.
Mayor Levagood of Elyria, Ohio, asserted
he was the only mayor present who carried
a bottle. He fourished flask filled with
Panesyie o. water which he argued was
After submission of various resolutions for
future action the convention adjourned until
tomorrow.
Distribution of the offices of the League of
American Municipalities was the subject of
animated discussion tonight among the
the Hotel Cadillac. The situation became
doubly interesting this evening. The secre-
taryship of the league is the chief bone #
contention. Secretary B. +. Gllkison an
nounced today that he would not be a cand
date for reelection.
There was much opposition to Gilkison on
his report concerning the handling OF tho
leagues funds. The const tut on requires that
all fees and dues collected be paid to the
treasurer by the secretary, quarterly: MIR.
Gilkison. on the contrary, reported having
collected some s., 800, of which about $500 was
paid to himself salary, and the balance for
sundry expenses, but he submitted no vcucd-
ers for the sundries His report contained an
apology for violation Of the constitutions pro-
visions
The report of the treasurer, Mayor Back.
of Columbus showed that he had hardl d
only $3.50 of the leagues money. He sub
mtted vouchers for his expenditures. A
special committee was appointed to audit
these accounts.
Mr. Gilkison Informed the committee that
his vouchers were in New York and the COM
mittee can only report tomorrow that the
vouchers requested have not been produced
and it therefore cannot properly audit the &C
counts.

feet.
Thomas Burke, living at 451 Superior street
was found dead on the front porch of his
home shortly after o'clock yesterday morn
Ing. Near the body was found an empty
bottle that had contained carbolc acid and
the fact that the dead mans head rested
upon pillow showed that he had carefully
prepared to end his life. He had swallowed
the poison and threw the bottle away Coro-
ner Nelson, in searching the clothing found
the following letter:
My Dear Friends: 1 mean to depart from
this world for l have no friends no home m

go and rest with my dear and beloved wife
and my three girls in Calvary cemetery, lot
that Fat OHaloran has my deed to nv 10,

burke was sixty mine years cid and was at
one time in comfortable circumstances. His
FAMILY consisted of three daughters and his
WIFE, Within the last three years his daugh-
tiers died OF consumption and some months
ago his wife also died Last year he secured
street sweeping contract and thus earned a
living. While at his work one day he was
run down by street car and badly hurt It
was while he was working on the street. that
his wife was taken ILL., She was sent to the
city hospital, where she died. Since this
time Burke had been discouraged.
Coroner Nelson decided it unnecessary to
hold an inquest as it was patent Burke hs
ended his life. The body was removed to the
county morgue.
TIE old gentleman's statement that he had
no friends, no home, no money, does not ac-
cord with information received at the ca
thedral last evening: He had received SIS in
charity from the cathedral clergy during the
PAST week and was told that he might call
whenever in need of money. 1t was also ar
ranged. at his own suggestion, that he should
spend the rest of his lfe In the home for the
eyed conducted by the Little Sisters of the
Poor.

"The numerous expressions of deep

which testify to the imperishable mem

so overwhelming in their extent that
1t appears impossible to thank the
mourners singly, even to the end Of
my own life. From all five continents
of the globe the sorrow of the family
bowed over the coffin is re-echoed in
touching sympathy, and it grieves me
to be unable to answer every manifes-
tation Of this feeling. I beg the Ger
man papers to grant space for these
words: In the name of the nearest
relatives. I thank, with my whole
heart, all who, by words of comfort
or floral tributes from those whom we
have never seen, have given express
sion to the splendor Of sorrow which
fills our land"
