MATTERS TO
COME BEFORE COUNCIL
Action Will Be Taken on
Board of Education De-
mand for Increase

Two important matters will come up
for discussion at the meeting OF City
Council this evening. One will be the
ordinance to placard houses in which
cases of contagious and infectious dis
eases exist. and the other will be the
demand of the Board Of Education for
the five per cent. increase to which it
would have been entitled had il not al
lowed its charter to expire.
The placard ordinance is to be placed
on its final passage. Members Of the
Board Of Health are urging its passage
Council will get rid of the ordinance
by forcing a vote.
The ordinance simply provides that
houses where diphtheria or scarlet fever
exist be placarded to keep people who
does not know that the disease exists
from entering the houses.
The Board of Health matter is ex-
pected to bring out a spirited discus
sion, as some of the members of the
body think that the board should have
sent communication to City Council
asking for the money instead of deal
ing with the finance committee Of
Council and denouncing the members
OF Council as thieves at public meet
ings of the board.

PRESIDENT TURNS
DOWN WALLSTREET
Refuses Point Blank to Give
Pledge AS to His Future
Course
BROKERS START BITTER ASSAULT

Last Desperate Effort is Made to Bring
Out Hanna as a Candidate But the
ohio Senator Is Too Willy For
Them.
Walter welman, writing from Wash
ington to the Philadelphia Press, says:
President Roosevelt has refused to
make terms of peace with the trust
and railway corporation leaders Of
New York. They approached the
President with an offer to withdraw
their opposition to him II he would
give them certain assurances as TO his
future course. The President declined
point blank.
Augered by this rejection Of their
proncrs Of peace and the failure OF
,heir plan to tie the hands OF the
President for the future. the big
financiers started a last desperate
movement designed to bring Senator
Hanna forward as a candidate for the
Republican nomination for President.
This too, has failed. Mr.. Hanna is
not willing to become a candidate with
the backing OF Wall street and the
support Of the Lily Whites Of the
South.
These important disclosures which
l am able to make on the highest au-
thority, explain much that has been
going on above and beneath the sur
face during the past month. They ex-
plain Senator Hanna's visit to New
York last week and the week before
and the conferences held there between
himself and a numberof the biggest cor
poration men OF Wall street, these con-
! ferences being sought not by the Sem
ator, but by the financiers. They ex-
plain the sudden revival Of the so-call-
ed Hanna boom here. and in the West
They explain the appearance Of hum
dreds of letters in the Far West in
