BOUDAR'S REPORT
MAKES A STIR
DanwIIe's Municipal officers De-
nOunce II as Unfair.
llVELfMEETiNG0f The COUNCIL
Discussion of the Report Brought Ont
Some Bitter Speeches-Local Opin-
ion Over the Affair is Much
Divided,
lWELYMEETiNG OF The COUNCIL

DANVILLE, VA, August I.-Spocial-
The city Council had a noisy meeting this
Afternoon. Most Of the time was taken
I'D discussing the report of H. b. Boudar,
the expert accountant whose report TO the
Council rejecting upon the official integ-
ritv Of sundry officers, was made last
wednesday.
MAYOR DEFENDS HIS OFFICE.
Mayor Wooding submitted a lengthy com
munloati0n 10 the COucil defending ms
office against the asgersions IA the eX-
pert's report lie contends that the eN-
pert was ignorant Of the law governing
a Mayors Office that his statements are
misleading and untrue, and concludes as
follows: Il have thus gone over WIN
some detail the criticisms and suggestions
of Mr. BOudar's report in order that you
may understand that they were made by
him without sufficient investigation into
the facts on which he relies. and In igno-
rance Of the laws which control the
Mayor in the discharge OF his duties. /
feel that the report does me, as Mayor
great injustice, while / am confident that
the duties OF my Office have been dis
charged fully and faithfully under the
law and ordinances of the city. l shrink
from no investigation by competent and
impartial men, and 1 submit that Justice
% me and yourselves requires that you
give 20 this statement the same publicity
given 10 the Boudar report
THE OTHER SUFFERERS
Green Williams, Chief Of Police sub
mitted q similar paper showing that the
expert had treated him unfairly, and in-
stead Of being IN arrears many dollars as
the expert reports, really owes the city
only 90 cents.
w. " Ayres. city Collector. also sub
mits a strong paper in which he main
tains that every dollar OF the cit1's
funds which have ever passed throrsh
his hands has been paid into the treas
ury He denounces the experts report.
and demands fun investigation.
The discussion I'm the Council was
lengthy and at times warm. Some Of
the speeches were bitter. The entire COM
munity is wrought up over this affair
and opinion is divided. Much bad blood
IS being shown and the whole business
become a more or less exciting local po-
litical issue.

ne held six months ago? VIII he hold
the same views six months hence!
The Cleveland Plaindealer says:
Judged by his own speechs, by the
vesled hints or outspoken declaration OF
his official family ard immediate political
associates, and by the instructions to the
civil and military representatives OF the
government, the Presidents policy has
veered about to every point of the COM
pass, from early independence to 'bene-
violent ass sanitation" and assertion of abso-
lutte and perpetual sovereign rights" over
the entire Philippine archipelago. 1t has
been both an avowed policy of imperial
expansion and an indignant denial of any
such idea. 1t has included an sslrtion OF
unchallenged right to seize, hold and
govern and disclaimer of any such right
or power for the government and rele-
cation of the whole matter to Congress
and the people.
AS our conservative Ohio contempo-
rary says, how can it be treason .
either in fact or by implication. to OPP
pose or criticise the presidents phil
ippine policy" when it is as changeable
and uncertain as the hues of chame-
leon?
