FORETOLD LOSS OF
BATTLESHIP MAINE
T. Berg Now Seeks Re-
muneration From President.

President Roosevelt had zealously
patriotic caller today at the White
House Offices. He was T. Berg. a ma
chinist OF Providence. r. l.. who desired
the Government to settle with him for
certain predictions made Immediately
prior to the Spanish war Had his warn
ings been taken, Berg declares. the
Maine would never have been blown up.
Berg is a Swede OF ffty-odd years OF
age. and bears a strong resemblance 10
Senator Knute Nelson OF Minnesota He
asked TO see the President and told Cap
tain Loeffier. the President's s doorkeeper,
of his patriotic efforts in the past and
of his present mission. The veteran Of
hcial listened TO such good purpose that
Berg probably thought his long-awaited
reward from the Government would be
forthcoming from the captains vest
pocket. At any rate. he confided every
thing TO Captain Loeffier. and the latter
asked him 10 make himself comfortable
in the waiting room until one of the sec
retaries could hear his story.
While awaiting this officials appear
snce. Berg explained that in the latter
part of January. 1898, he had sent i'm
perative word 10 President Mckinley
that something must be done in Cuba
without delay. as Spain was plotting
to blow up the Maine. The absence
of any voluminous record in the Execu-
tive Office or the State or Navy De-
partments is proof conclusive. Berg de-
clares that somebody has suppressed
the proofs of his patriotic forewarn-
ings. This. he believes. was done in or
der 10 deprive him of the reward which
he naturally expected from the Govern
r1ent for such an important piece OF ad-
vice.
Secret Service man advised Berg
against haste in a matter OF such great
importance and suggested that as Con-
gross would have TO act in the matter
of appropristing the money Il would
be best not TO pass the case until Con-
gress was again in session next De-
cember. This seemed so plausible that
Berg accepted the advice and said he
would return to Providence at once. He
was profuse In his thanks TO his ad-
wiser. and said he saw now that his
friends at Providence were not up 10
the times in urging him 10 come here
when Congress was not in session

What is lacking is nerve in the Execu-

What's the use OF enacting more
in his blood, and let him enforce the
laws we now have.
President and the Coal Strike.
President Roosevelt has been given
credit for settling the coal strike. What
did he do? Instead OF saying to the coal
barons, The shadow OF the penitentiary
is there before you: the laws will be en-
forced: settle this matter he practi-
caIly got down on his knees and begged
them 10 please to give the people a few
shovelfuls Cf coal 10 keep them from

MAY ABOLISH THE POOL TAX
Council viii Consider Matter al
Its Next Session.

At its meeting two weeks hence the
council viii finally dispose Of the pool
table license matter. Some time ago
Councilman Burns introduced an ordi-
nance to abolish this tax, but the ordi-
nance was lost. Auditor Anderson res
urrected it and it was read again at
Tuesday nights meeting of the coun-
Gil. 1t abolishes the tax altogether.
Chief Hallock stated TO members of the
council that there was much complaint
because Of the tax required on pool
tables, which, the saloon men claimed,
were merely conveniences, little reye-
nue. being derived OF the dozen or
more tables in the city, license is paid
to date on only one.
Il can appreciate the justice of the
complaint, said Mayor Suprenant, "but
l would oppose the repeal of any of the
license ordinances. We need all the
money We can get, and if we once be-
gin abolishing taxes eff this kind there
will be no end 10 it. ~
The ordinance passed to its third read
ing and will be disposed of two weeks
hence. 1t is matter of little conse-
quence, except to saloon men, who feel
that their burden is heavy enough with
out this license.
