COST PAID By DISTRICT.
Discovery Regarding Advertising Bills
u In Certain Cases.

Commissioner West was sitting peacefully
in his inner Office this morning disposing
OF the routine business collected on his
desk. when in hurried Auditor John R. Gar
rison and Health Officer w. C. Woodward
with the Information that the discovery had
been made that for seven years past the
District has been paying advertising that
should have been assessed against property
owners. The advertising in question Is that
involved in the steps taken by the health
department to drain vacant lots. The law
provides that all the cost of the work. in
Guiding advertising, shall be assessed
against the property. The cost Of the ad-
vertising, 1t appears. however. has been
charged to the general advertising fund of
the District
When Mr.. West was acquainted with the
facts he sent for Assistant Assessor Kalb-
fus. who has charge OF the special assess
ment division. Mr.. Kalbfus said that the
advertising had been charged to the general
Advertising fund of the District upon in
structions from former Auditor Petty. The
instructions were oral. and, coming from
the auditor, he thought they were final, and
there must be some good reason therefor
The drainage work Is done under the act
of 1895. Auditor Garrison has been in
structed to charge all advertising now I'M
der way to the property involved. The
matter will be further inquired into.

STEEL PLANTS MAY CLOSE.
United States Corporation Has Disput
With Amalgamated Association.

PITTSBURG. Pa, September 23-The
United States Steel Corporation may close
all its sheet steel plants in the near future,
unless the Amalgamated Association will
consent to a reduction under the same plan
as was agreed upon last fall.
The reason for this attitude is an over
stocked market and the dizziness of trade at
this time of year. Last year the Amalga-
mated Association accepted a reduction of
per cent on all material made for foreign
orders. and the steel company 1t Is said,
intends to make similar request this year.
President r. J. Shaffer of the Amalga-
mated. stated that he felt sure that the
limit would not be changed, and that ex-
listing conditions do not warrant it.

CLEVELAND ADDRESSED
MEETING
Called to Protest Against Massacre Of
Hebrews.

New York, May 2s.--There was a
great representative gathering at Car
negie hall last night. called to protest
against the massacre OF hebrews at
Kischineff. The announcement that
Former President Cleveland would
speak lent additional interest TO the
gathering.
The resolutions, which denounced
the massacre urged the claim OF the
Jews in Russia to just treatment and
protection and declared that the peo-
pie of the United States should exer-
else such influence with the govern
ment Of Russia as the ancient and un-
broken friendship between the two
nations may justify, to stay the spirit
of persecution, TO redress the injuries
inflicted upon the Jews Of Kischineff.
and to prevent the recurrence Of out
breaks such as have amazed the civil
lied world"
Mr. Cleveland said:
Il desire to avoid sounding a dis
cordant note; but yet can not refrain
from the suggestion that the moral ef-
feet of our protest and the usefulness
Of this demonstration will not be les
sened If we require indubItable proof
before we accuse the government Of
Russia with guilty completely in the
crimes committed within her borders,
and It seems to me we may well con-
slider the proper relationship between
nations before We demand too pro-
nounced interference on the part OF
our own government. dc not say that
the Russian government may not, by
aihc Of omission or commission, be
Justly deserving of our condemnation T.
but we should not be swift to assume
this, when we remember that we our
selves have found It impossible to
prevent mob violence and murderous
assaults on Chinese in Wyoming and
on Italians in Louisiana am dis
tinctly and unequivocally in favor OF
informing our government, in unmis-
taxable terms of our Indignation and
deep condemnation Of the late out
RACES upon the Jews on the Russian
ground: but l hope that in obedience
to the dictates of American conserva-
tism and moderation which are never
long obscured, we may he even now
just and fair; and that we viii be
content TO forego perplexing and ex-
treme demands upon our government
for violent action"
