COUNTY MANAGEMENT
Reply to Late Structures on the Board
 of Supervisors.

Chairman Norris of the board of supervisors speaking yesterday of a communication. printed by The Re publican criticising the board for sev- eral of it's actions. said that the writer was badly misinformed on several points. The statement was made that after the road overseer had caused the Black Canyon road to be plowed up and made impossible the people living along the road were asked to con tribute to the putting of it in repair on the ground that the county was out of funds. MT. Norris said that he was not aware that such Q request had been made. The supervisors had cer- tainly never made it. and there was no one else who would have authority to act in the improvement of d county road. There is plenty of money in the road fund, Mr. Norris said, and there has been at all times since he has been connected with the board.
 Regarding the statement that the board had refused to contribute to the improvement of Central avenue, MT Norris said that d contribution had been made by the board. That avenue is not a county road and is not under the care of the county. It is very doubtful if the board could, if it de- sired. spend any money on it.
 Concerning the pest house matter MT. Norris said that that had been before the board for a long time. The members of it are anxious to secure another location and have been trying to sell the present property. Until recently the highest offer that had been made was $3,5OO which is plainly not enough. The property consists of ten acres of ground in the outskirts of the city and in what, in the course of a short time, will be one of the choicest resident districts of the city. Not long ago proposition to take the property for $4,OGO was submitted and MT. Norris says that while he believes that is not enough he would be will ing to sell but his colleagues think and very properly perhaps, that the county ought to get something nearer the actual value of the property.
 Speaking further on the subject of the pest house MT. Norris said it was no easy matter to locate such an in- stitution. There is not a neighbor- hood in the county where it would be warmly welcomed. It would be very difficult to buy suitable tract for one. A man owning a large tract of land would not sell any part of it for such a purpose for it would detract from the value of the rest of it and from the value of all the land in that i'm mediate neiGhborhood.
 On the subject of the employment of d superintendent of roads, MT. Norris said that had been done as an econom- ical measure and he had no doubt that it would prove to be an ecOnmy. There had been absolutely no check upon the road Ove~seers and in many parts

HOSE TURNED ON SERENADERS.
College Boys and the Girls Of ~. MarEaret's
in waterbury Get . Ducking.

WATERBURY, Conn, June 2.-St. Mar
garet's Diocesan School for Girls concluded
its commencement exercises here last light, ,
twenty-fo,ir young women, representa-
tives of some OF the best-known families
in the East, graduating from the institution.
The annual dance took place in the school
gymnasium. As Is customary. the dance
was attended by many students, the ma
jority Of the men being from Yale.
As usual the college men made prepara-
tions to serenade the schoolgirls after the
dance was at an end. Their plans would
have gone we'll but for the exuberance Of q
Hibernian man Of all work about the school
He conceived an antipathy to the college
men and when they gathered on the school
lawn to serenade the young women, he
determined to drive them away.
Attaching line Of hose to a water plug,
he waited until the collegians gathered
The white shirt bosoms made a most at
tractive target and when the serenaders
began their rondelay. q stream of water
struck them.
There were yells of dismay from the
college boys and screams Of alright from
the young women, who had gathered on
the roof of a convenient veranda to await
the serenaders.
The girls went to the rescue of their
friends. They, too. were drenched. This
infuriated the college boys and they made
massed attack on the man. When he
emerged from the bottom of heap he was
sight. So were the college boys.
The serenade was not concluded, but the
hosepipe went out Of business.

sULLY REMEMBERS CLERKS.
Report That the Cotton Man Has Given
Large sum to SubortIinatcs.

PROVIDENCE. r. l., June p Daniel j.
Sully who has just closed his bull campaign
on the New York Cotton Exchange. will sail
for Europe on the Oceanic from NewYork TO-
morrow for a two months rest. To-day the
report was circulated through the cotton
district OF Providence that before leaving
for New York he had distributed $40, 900
among his associates and the clerks in the
office Of the F. W. REYNOLDS Company on
South Water st rect, OF which he is the head.
This report was untrue as to the figures
Mr.. Sully did not give 500 600, but he did
remember all in the Reynolds Office hand

before he started for his vacation trip he
would not thank them TO tell about it out
aide. You will have to be sat sfied with
my statement that the story that he gave
away $40 600 here is untrue"
II liz fair inference that Mr.. Sully marked
the close of his campaign Of 1908 with an
act of generosity to his employees and
others which may have amounted to either
more or less than $40 900. Those who know
him hest do not hesitate to believe that

TRAIN SMASHES $1,000 AUTO.
Nobody Hurt-Owner Says He siEnalled
MOtOrman In Time to stop

Although it is said that ample warning
was given, a train of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit line from Broadway ferry hit an
automobile last evening at Carlton avenue
and Fulton street, Jamaica. A 5000
machine was reduced to scrap iron and
the front of the motor car was damaged,
but no one was hurt. The accident is
likely to emphasize the opposition to run
ming the trains on the Jamaica street.
The automobile was owned by George
l.. Foole Of 1855 Madison street. Brooklyn.
With him in the big machine were a
woman, two men and the chauffeur, They
were passing through Carlton avenue,
When the auto reached the trolley tracks
something went wrong and it stopped.
The chauffeur leaped of and tried TO remedy
the trouble An effort was made TO shove
the machine off tho tracks, but the wheels
would not bulge. Mr.. Foote then directed
one of those with him to go eastward to
stop anything coming from that direction,
and, he says, he ran 300 feet westward and
signalled an oncoming train. He says
the train passed him without regard to his
signals Tho bystanders scattered before
the auto was struck,
The motorman was John Middleton of
332 McDougal street, Brooklyn.

simply a detention of the necklace until IT
could be determined whether the property

contention, he said, was that she had
brought the necklace into this port severa

and the right to bring in the necklace.
The Collector said that information re-

terested.
Harry Hatton. the private secretary
of the former Mayor, swore that Finn gave
him sum OF money to pay to Common
Councilman Simon Thomas to induce him
to vote for the asphalt ordinance. Hatton
was forced TO confess on cross-examinat ion
that at the trial of Simon Thomas for this
offence about year ago he uiatton) per-
jured himself in order to clear Thomas.
Then Mayor Bailey, "a wreck Of his former
self was called and swore that he received

in which the asphalt company Was in
terested Mayor Moir, who succeeded
Bailey, was called to swear that Finn told
him that If he would do certain things
there would be money in it for both Of them,

ANTI-TRIST ST BILL KILLED.
NIassa chusctts legislators Found That
Their Proposed Act Was Invalid.

BosToE, June THE 1anti-trlst" bill,
reported by the Joint Special Committee
on the Supply and Distribution of Coal, is
dead. The House to-day on a rising vote,
struck out the enacting clause. A roll call :,
asked for by Representative Schofeld, a
member of the committee in charge of the
bill. resulted in SO yeas to 73 nays in favor
of striking out the enacting clause.
The chief factors in the final defeat Of the
bill were the effort Of the business interests,
which had become thoroughly alarmed by
the drastic nature Of the proposed legis-
lation, and the citing of an opinion OF the
United States Supreme Court that the
Illinois statute Of ls93-Section = of the
Massachusetts bill being an exact repro
duction of the Illinois statute-is unconsti-
tutional.
The bill was listed as An Act Relating to
