MERCHANTS AT DINNER
FULL MEMBERSHIP OF THE ASSOCIA-
TION PRESENT.
Hearty Approval Given to the Coli
scum Project and Provision Made
for Committee Report.

The Merchants Association held its
monthly meeting and dinner at the Column
bia Club last night. The entire member
ship--sixty-seven-was present. The meet
ing was confined in its business affairs
almost wholly to its private purposes.
During the evening the horse show was
discussed and the association was unani-
nous in approving it's high character and
its success in quality. The only regret
expressed was that the weather had been
so unfavorable that it had not proved
self-sustaining. The discussion of the fes-
tival and horse show was purely informal,
but was characterized by enthusiasm, the
members expressing the wish that another
trial be made under safer arrangements.
This brought out the coliseum subject,
and IL received the most spirited approval.
1t was not regarded as appropriate that
the association should do more last night
than register its approval Of the coliseum
project, and this approval was given in
the unanimous passage OF motion that
President Ferd l.. Mayer appoint a special
committee to investigate the subject. The
spirit OF the motion and its passage re-
moved all doubt as to the belief of the
members that such a project was desirable
and practical.
President Mayer said after the meeting
that he found the association interested
and enthusiastic in supporting the coliseum
plan. He said he would appoint his COM
mittee at once. This committee will pre-
company and will report it at special
meeting to be held whenever the committee
has made sufficient progress for a report
to be made.

UNKNOWN MAN KILLED

Thought to BE BENJAMIN Lewis, of Ma

An unknown man. thought to be Ben
night at II 80 o'clock at Senate avenue and
Washington street by West Washington
street car No. 231. The man was dragged
$50 feet and his body was horribly mangled.
There were many eyewitnesses to the &C
cident yet none of them knew the man.
George Brooks and Dennis Hoolihan. who
were within a few feet of the man when
at least twenty-five miles an hour, ard this
accounts for the horribly mutilated condi-
ton of the body. They said that the man
started across the street, presumably from
Navin's drug store. He was slightly
stopped and walked with cane. The wit
nesses are of opinion that he was an old
soldier. When seen the man was walking
diagonally across Washington street and
did not seem to heed the approaching car,
which came at great speed from the east.
When the car struck him he was in the
middle of the track. and in an instant was
drawn under the heavy trucks. George G.
Fee, motorman on the car, said that he
was not running fast and that he rang his
gong as he approached the crossing. He
said he did not see the man until the latter
had crossed the south tracks and stood
at the side of the trolley pole at Senate
avenue and Washington street
Fees statement that he was not running
fast was not corroborated by the eyewit-
nesses and the fact that his car proceeded
half block after the killing before 1t could
be stopped, eyewitnesses say. disproves his
statement.
