trip over the other lines, did not accom-
pany them to Fort Dodge, but returned
to New York. The presence of PRESIDENT

Grinnell, Oct. 2S.-Saturday evening
Mayor spaulding, City Attorney Lyman
and Marshal Munger made raid on the
Adams Express Office and seized seven
ty-two packages of distilled liquors and
three cases of beer which had been
opened in the Office and part of the con-
tents removed. The seizure was entirely
within the pale of the law. A state law
upon interstate commerce regulation re-
quires that all packages containing matt
or spirituous liquors must be plainly
marked as original packages. ThJ hand
ling of all packages not SO marked is
illicit traffic. For some time packages
have been accommodating at the Adams
office as the ordinance recently passed
in regard to liquor drinking has greatly
reduced the consumption of liquor.
Last Saturday evening the above
named city officials made raid upon
the Office and carefully examining an
matter in the office discovered the Illicit
matter mentioned. They were careful
not to seize any package legally marked
as also certain decoy packages ad-
dressed to a certain well-krown Grinnell
attorney. Two cases of beer addressed
to Grinnellites were found which had
been opened and the contents party re-
moved. 1t is now incumbent upon the
Adams agent to account for the portion
of the liquor that is missing. II re-
tail trade can be proved the company
will suffer heavily.
City Attorney Lyman believes he has
n good case against the express com.
pany. The preliminary hearing VIII
probably be held this week.
A large number of men from Rock
Creek who came in for liquor Saturday
evening were considerably excited by
the seizure and for a time threatened
disturbance. But they afterwards quiz
city dispersed. The whole case has
caused much excitement and the action
of the officials is commended by all la D.
abiding citizens.

GOT A RUDE SHOCK.
Board of Revision of Taxes Assured
by City Solicitor That They
Can't Serve After April /.

The members of the board of revision
of taxes and appeals realized yesterday
that they would not have the work
of hearing appeals on the tricnnial
assessment completed by April I. and
they accordingly sent in request to
city Solicitor Nosburg for an opinion
as to whether they could not continue
to hear appeals after that date until
they completed the assessment.
it didn't take Mr.. Ncshurg more
than fifteen minutes to compile and
send up stairs the following opinion,
which came as rather IL rude shock
to the members of the board:
Board of Revision and Appeal:
Gentlemen: In response TO your request OF
the 10Th inst, would say that on the first
Monday of April Of this year, tie laws applicable
to cities Of the second class will apply to this
city; and as there is no provision in such laws
for u board Of tax revision and appeal, You
cannot legally continue to act as such board
for any purpose, after that date.
Under the second class city laws, tho city
asscssors hear and disuosc OF objections made
TO assessments their number being increased to
five. Very truly yours,
4. A. Noshurs, City solicitor
The assessors have SO Gar completed
the assessment books of only ten
wards, and are retaining for further
alteration and amendment the books
OF the other eleven wards.

RECORDER AND THE VETO
If He Has That Power 1t Is of Re-
motely inferred Character in
the Ripper Bill.

1t is not generally knOwn that the
ripper bill contains no provision what
ever for the vetoing by the recorder
of any ordinance or resolution passed
by councils.
II was at first thought that this
was an oversight on the part of the
trainers of the bill, but City Solicitor
Nosburg and others who have talked
with some of the most ardent ripper
ties at Harrisburg are convinced that
it was an intentional omission, the an
eument having been advanced that ON
account of the Capitalization of SO
much executive power and rcsponsi-
bility in the hands of the recorder it
would not be wise to give that official
any legislative power.
Recorder NIoir is inclined to believe
that complications will cnsue in case
he refuses to sign an ordinance or
resolution of councils. lie believes
that to become operative they will
have TO receive his signature, and he
asserts that if any measure fails to
meet his approval he will have, as a
matter of course. to sign 1t.
city Solicitor NosburG stated yes
terday to a Tribune man that as far
as he could see there is no provision
whatever in the bill providing for the
signing of any ordinance or resolution
10y the recorder. The power to sign is
implied, he thinks. but inasmuch as
no provision is made for n veto II
would be merely Il formal act. He is
inclined TO believe that if the recorder
refuses to sign measure that it will
be perfectly valid without his sigma
tur".
The bill, however, contains one pro-
vision which leads mary to believe
that it was intended To include a pro-
vision for u veto. This provision is
contained in Article /, Section ., and
reads as follows;
THE city recorder may disapprOye
of any item or items OF any bill MAX
ing appropriations, and the part or
parts of tho bill approved shall be
the law, and the item or items dis
approved shall be void unless repassed
according to the rules and limitations
prescribed by law for tho passage OF
bills over the city recorders Veto
There is no provision in the act
which provides for any veto, as mem
toned above, but ii is said that the
insertion of the clause quoted above
shows that 1t was intended to include
such q provision.

THE BICYCLE CLUB WON

They Are Practically Assured
Championship.

A large delegation of Scranton BIZ
cycle club rooters accompanied their
bowling team to the Elk alleys last
night and watched them defeat the
crack Commercials in three matches,
marked by splendid rolling. The Bi-
cycle club men attained q total of 2,6ll
pins to their opponents 2,5l4, but the
latter, though defeated, piled up enough
pins to place them about four hundred
points ahead of the Backus team, their
nearest competitor in the Northeastern
Pennsylvania tournament race. and
the silver trophy is now practically as
sured them.
Four double centuries We're rolled
last night, the club men securing three
of them. Wardell was high man with
22S. which ties the score of Roll, of the
Elks, which has stood as high mark
throughout the tournament. Ritchie,
of the Commercials. had the best aver
age of the ten rollers, making 100.
Moores average of 1856 was second. The

THE WHEELMEN'S FAIR.
Opening of New Club House in
Green Ridge Last Night.

The Green Ridge Whoclmcn opened
their fair in their handsome new club
house at 1915 Wyoming avenue under
most favorable circumstances. The
amusement feature of the evening was
the minstrel performance given by
members of the Electric City Wheel
hnen, which was enjoyed by a large
audience. The Orphcus club also gave
many tunetul selections.
From roof to cellar the house was
thronged by the clubs friends, who
voted the kitchen at the top of the
house as much of model in it's way
as the bowling alley in the basement.
This alley is considered one of the
best in tho section.
The various booths are veIy prettily
iccrated. and are attended by the
ladies, who take great interest in the
clubs affairs. 1t is needless to say
their wares went with astonishing rap
idty.
With such an opening the fairs suc-
cess is assured. \ different pro-
