REGULAR MEETING
Of City Council Tonight-Matter to
 Come Before It.

Among the questions that will probably De discussed at the meeting of the city council tonight Is that pertaining to the ordinance introduced at the last meeting and referred to the judiciary committee, granting a telephone franchise to 8. B. Claypool and associates to be known as the Peoples Home Telephone company.
 A meeting of the judiciary committee was called for noon on yesterday to con- slider this telephone question but there was no quorum, and consequently nothing was done. A lively fight over the proposed ordinance granting a franchise. to Clay pool and associates is looked for
 It IS not expected that more than one or two, if any, of the committees ap- pointed to consider the recommendations contained in the mayors annual message will be ready to report tonight. The com mittee municipal ownership of water plant will not take up the question until after the joint committee of the Commer- ciad ctub and the board of aldermen which recently concluded an investigation Gf the water supply and service makes its report. Tine council committee acting with the commercial club committee is the same
 which was referred that portion of the mayors message recommending municipal ownership of a water plant.
 The market committee held a meeting yesterday and agreed to recommend to the council tonight a change in the ordinance governing The milk and dairy business. The dairymen have complained of the in- speotlon fee of 50 cents on cattle for tuberculosis at dairies and ask that it be remitted. The committee regarded the complaint as reasonable and will ask the council to amend the ordinance according ly. It wih also be recommended that per- sens selling milk in 6his city brought here from other points be required to show cer- tdfeates from some veterinary surgeon that the cattle supplying the milk were in good condition.

GOLDEN ARRIVES 1a
 IN LEXINGTON
He and His Attorney Keeping
 Their Movements Quiet
NO ONE CAN LOCATE THEM
Did Not Register at Hotel But Slipped in-the Back Way-May Have Gone to Home of a Goe-
 bel Democrat

Lexington, Ky, March 2O-Sergeart F. Wharton Golden. the man alleged to have made discriminating statements in the Goe- bel murder case, arrived here in company with his attorney, Smith Hayes, tonight. They came from Winchester. Their move- ments have been kept in the dark and their presence was not known until several hours after their arrival They did not register at the Phoenix hotel, but 1t is stated Golden went through the rear door of the Phoenix and subsequently, to his room in the hotel. Another story iss that. they were met by a carriage and driven to the home of a Goebel democrat. As the hotel clerk knew nothing of their arrival. efforts to find Golden proved futile. Many rumors are in circulation. One is that Golden is trying to get away from Goebel influences, but he is too closely watched. It is improbable that he has given them the slip. Another rumor is that he is here for further conference with Goebel attor- neys tomorrow.

DEMURRER SUSTAINED
Judge Fields Makes Another Decision
 in Favor of Democrats

Louisville, Ky, March 20.-Judge Field for Governor Beckham and granted the motion to strike out certain parts of the amended reply of the republicans in the consolidated gubernatorial contest suits. With this went a judgment, signed by Judge Field, in conformity with this decis- ion and the former one, sustaining the first demurrer and motion to strike out.
 This judgment is interlocutory, not final, and two questions of fact still remain to ba passed on by Judge Field-was or was not Governor Beckham of the requisite consti- tutional age? Was or was not Governor Goebels death before or after the legisla1 ture had declared him the legally elected governor of the mmonwealth? When Judge Field passes on these two points the next step will be an appeal by the republi- cans to the court of appeals. Dispositions covering the two points mentioned are now being taken
 The deposition of Dr. J. N. Mccormack of the state board of health was taken to- day covering points raised in the pending case before the court of appeals in the con- test of the governorShip. pr. Mccormack was in close attendance upon the late Gov- ernor Goebel from the time he was shot on January 3f until his death on February 5. He testified that he was present both times the swearing in of the dying man as gov ernor was gone through. Stories that have been printed in this connectIou give interest to statement of Dr. Mccormack that he had examined Governor GoebePs wound and believed the fatal shot came from the front.

DEWEY CROWS
 SUDDENLY ILL
Public Reception at Savannah
 Was BecIared Off
EXPECTED TO BE OUT TODAY
The Admiral is Suffering from Indiges- tion-Mrs. Dewey Was Entertain ed at the Yacht Club With
 Plantation Songs

Savannah, Ga, March 20.-The pro- gramme for the entertainment of Admiral and Mrs. Dewey, was broken this morning by the illness of the admiral A public re- ception had been arranged for the hours be- tween and Il, and 1000 persons gathered at the DeSoto hotel to greet the distin- guished visitors. But the admiral was too ill to appear, and the function had to be called off.
 The admiral's attack, which is indigestion, occurred on board the revenue cutter Ham iIton, while the party was on a trip down the river and harbor Surgeon-General Wy man of the marine hospital service and pr. Graham, who were aboard the cutter, ad- ninistered to the admiral, but his indisposi- ton was so severe that it was deemed best to bring him back to the city. The admiral is resting easy tonight, and his physicians say he will no doubt be able to go on with the programme of arrangements tomorrow. All the shipping in the harbor, foreign and domestic, was decorated gaily in honor of the admiral.
 Mrs. Dewey was entertained 'hhis evening by a committee of women at the Yacht club, where she heard plantation songs sung by a chorus of rice-field pickaninnies Gen Nelson A Miles will reach here tomorrow evening" too late to participate in the naval review.

MATTER OF TAXATION
 OF UNIVERSITY LANDS
Taken Up by the Board of Reyenue-Cap- tain Webb Made Strong Argu-
 meDt for Defense.

Sitting as a court of record, the county board of revenue yesterday took up the alter of taxation of the university lands, and notwiths tanding the absence of Tax Commissioner Wetmore, proceeded to take the case up on it's merits.
 The question at issue is the claim or con- ,tention of the tax commissioner that the university lands situated in this county are subject to taxation, and that the uni versity is due the state something like ,000 as back taxes.
 Captain James D. Webb, chairman of the board of trustees of the university, ap- peared for the defense, as did also Judge J. J. Garrett a friend of the institution.
 Commissioner Wetmore sent word that he was jatained at home on account of illness, but the board decided to proceed with the hearing.
 It was decided to submit briefs of the arguments to the commissioner who will be given an opportunity to reply at the final hearing on April 3.
 Captain Webb, in resisting the conten- ton of Commissioner Wetmore, made a strong argument against the proposed tax ation, citing numerous authorities to show that the lands were not taxable.
 He reviewed the law at length and was given the closest attention by the members of the board.
 At the conclusion of Captain Webb's ar gument, Judge Garrett made a few re- marks, emphasizing the position taken by Captain Webb and presenting several new points.
 It is the general opinion that the board will decide adverse to the commissioner.
