COMPLIMENTED
Last Regular Meeting of Present
Police Commissioners.
CHAIRMAN LANE ABSENT
Action Taken Looking to Proper Police
Protection During the May Festi-
val and Carnival Celebrations
Business Transacted.

The last regular meeting of the present
board of police commissioners, whose terms
expire on May l. was held last night in
the council chamber at the city hall, and
Notwithstanding that it was the final meet
ing of the board, little business was trans
acted.
In the absence of Chairman Lane, Com
missioner Lesser was called to the chair,
with Commissioners Fox and Garrett pres
emit Commissioner McCartin came in dur
ing the meeting. The usual number of
spectators were noticeable by their absence,
there being present besides the three COM
missloners, only Chief Mcdonald, Desk
Sergeant Rowlett and two newspaper re-
portcrs.
The minutes of the previous meeting were
read and approved.
Chief Mcdonald asked for further time in
which to file his quarterly report, and also
his report for the month of March, which
was granted.
An informal discussion of the question of
proper police protection during the May
Festival and Carnival celebrations was en-
tered into, and in view of the fact that
there was some uncertainty as to the exact
date which the new commissioners
would go into office, it was decided to au-
thorze the chairman protein. to confer
with Mayor Evans and Mayor-to-be Dren-
men towards securing proper police protec-
ton from May 4 to 10 inclusive.
1t was expressly stated that there was
no desire upon the part OF the present
board to intrude upon the authority CT the
new board.
Chief Mcdonald Complimented
Commissioner Garrett in ,roduced the fol-
lowing resolution, which he prefaced with IA
few commendatory remarks and which was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, This board will not again
meet in regular session; and
Whereas, 1t is proper to express the es-
TEEN in which it holds the head of the po-
lice force of the city of Birmingham; there-
fore, be it
Resolved. That it is the sense of this
board OF police commissioners:
First That under most trying circum-
stances and conditions Chief of Police Nc
Donald has made a most excellent, worthy
and efficient officer during the entire term
OF his services as the executive head of the
department. and by the thorough, honest,
fearless and capable discharge CT his alsdu-
Gus and responsible duties as public serv
ant he has made most honorable record,
one in which he and the people OF Bir-
mingham may justly take great pride.
Second. That at all times this board
has found him not only willing, but anx-
ious to raise the police department to the
highest possible state of efficiency and to
give to the tax payers the best service OBJ
tainabic.
Third. That he has at all times dis
charged his duties coIDageously and fear
lessly, with eye single to the public
welfare.
Fourth That this board hereby tenders
to him its thanks for the uniform courtesy
and promptness with which he has dis
charged his duties under its direction"

LONDON, Sept. IL. - 1t would be
difficult to describe adequately the in

court martial has evoked everywhere
in England. The excitement in the
Jewish quarters of London is only nat
ural Special prayers were offered
throughout Saturday in all the syna-
gogues on behalf Of Dreyfus, and as
soon as the verdict was known. Jews
and Jewesses were seen at every street
corner expressing execration and many
sobbing bitterly.
At the Music halls, especially the
Palace theater where cinematograph
pictures of the incidents and leading
actors of the Dreyfus affair were ex-
hibited, the news was greeted with
groans and Kisses. In the French
quarter of London there was much ex-
element, accompanied by some street

CONSUL UNDER A CLOUD.
Serious Charges Against u Keyston. Man
Mt Dawson city.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-There Is
another Pennsylvania consul besi les
Dr. Bedloe against whom charges are
pending at the state department, d
James c. McCook, stationed at Daw-
son CITY, Northwest Territory, is the
unlucky man.
The state department has clippings
from the Klondike Nugget of Dawson
wherein it is set forth that on April u
McCook had very hilarious time with
the men and women in a dance hall.
The newspaper alleged that he tried to
beat a young Canadian because he re-
fused to forswear allegiance to her
Britannia majesty, when McCook came
into the hall, roaring out, Who's not
an Americana" and offering to equip
anyone not so blessed with a full
fledged citizenship in this glorious re-
public.
Before the consul left the dance hall
he lost his watch chain and the next
day he had girl arrested for the
theft, but the evidence produced at
the trial was to the effect that during
the evening McCook had told the girls
he had, and had given the watch and
chain to Nellie"
Before the affair of April 12 the rec
ords of the state department show that
Consul McCook sued The Nugget for
$4,000 for libel, the action being based
on a cartoon showing the consul per-
spring very profusely in an effort to
write dispatch in grammatical Eng
lish. The record shows that he lost
his suit. The department knew moth
ing about the scrape in which the con-
sui was involved until In his dispatches
he began defending himself. Then he
was investigated and the facts were
brought out.
The department has just closed the
newspaper incident by admonishing
Mr.. McCook that a consul should avoid
controversies with newspapers.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Taxation of Deeds for War Revenue Ex
tends to Church Property.

WASHINGTON. Sept 8. - Acting
Commissioner Williams of the internal
revenue bureau has rendered an I'M
portant decision on the question Of the
taxation under the war revenue action
of deed of conveyance of church
property, executed by the executors OF
Roman Catholic bishop to his sue
ressor The acting commissioner held
that such deed was taxable.
The question arose in the case OF the
Right Rev. Bishop McGovern Of Har-
risburg, Pa, who willed the property
to his executors, and they in turn con-
veyed it to his successor, Right Rev.
]. F. Shanahan, the present bishop OF
the diocese Of Harrisburg.
1t was contended in opposition to the
tax that the bishop holds the title to
the property in trust, and that he has
no personal interest or estate therein.
1t is held, however, that the deed full
ly vests the title, and under the law
the succeeding bishop is a purchaser,
although he does not pay any consid-
Grafton for the conveyance. A stamp
tax of 81 per 81, 1000 of value will be re-
Quired.

probably an attempt upon his life. The
police had arranged to conduct him
back to the military prison after the
verdict with the same precautions as
during the trial. He was to have been
given Civilian attire and false beard
and then to have left the prison by
the small door of the recruiting office,
leading to the Avenue de la Care.
No one would have expected him
TO leave through that bunGing, which
is attached to the military prison and,
thanks to the disguise, the police hoped
he would reach the station safely where
a special train was waiting to rush him
off before the crowd could have learned
of his leaving the prison.

Supposed Explosion of subterranean Gases
Shook Cambria County, Pa.

ALTOONA, Pa, Sept. 11.-An earth
quake shock was felt in the mountain
districts of Cambria county A ter
rife subterrranean explosion occurred,
followed by perceptible quaking of
the earth over a radius of so miles.
Window glass was shattered all over
Cambria county, Carrolltown suffering
the most. Windows in nearly all the
town residences were shattered.
