MASS MEETING
Developed Nothing Except a Divid-
ed Sentiment on Amounts.

The mass meeting at the Court
House Tuesday night TO consider
the sewerage question was organ
lied by the election Of Judge w. T.
Fowler as chairman.
Mr.. J.B. Galbreath, of the Council,
and Dr. r. L. Woodland said $780,
600 was enough for the work IN
hand and that proposition for that
amount would be more apt to pass.
This view was opposed by Mr..
A. J. Casey, who preferred $50, 900
as the amount to be voted on. He
proposed a resolution naming a
committee to assist the council, but
after discussion it was withdrawn.
About the only business trans
acted was the adoption of the toll
lowing resolution offered by Mr..
Frank Rives:
Resolved, That we, the citizens
of Hopkinsville, in mass convention
assembled, recognizing the urgent
need OF al adequate sewerage sys-
tenn for Hopkinsville, endorse the
action of the City Council of Hop
kinsville in calling an election to
vote on the proposition of S50,O0
bonded issue for sewerage purposes,
and that we give them our hearty
cooperation and assistance in car
rying the same at the coming No
vember election.
The prospects for the passage of
the proposition in its present shape
are by no means bright. 1t fact It
has been loaded so heavily that it
is virtually killed.

SNEAK THIEVES
 AT HETEROGENEOUS

Sneak thieves continue to prowl around in the vicinity of refrfgerators and consequently people continue to lose their breakfasts or what was in- tended for their breakfast. The thieves do not c0nfine their labors to any par, ticu1ar section of the city, but pay a visit to each so that the residents will have no complaint that they are being overlooked. Last night while Ulysses A. Warner of 748 Dublin stret was en-, toying a deep slr1mber, some hungry individuals paid a visit to the refrig- orator. which stood on the rear yeran- da of the house. They ransacked it from top to bottom and carried away all the eatables and drinkables in sight. When Mir Warmer arose this morning he found that he would have to go shy for breakfast, as the choicest morsels had disappeared during the night
 The thieves have fondness for let ter carriers. Last Saturday night they paid a visit to the home of Walter R. Wilcox, IF Brown place, and stole his morning meal

NOTES FOR $ll, 600.
Caused the Arrest of Judge Bates of
 Boston He'll in Sl0 GOO Bail.

Upon the complaint of George H. Cloves, formerly of the concern of Randolph & Gloves, Judge B. O.. Bates of Boston was arrested yester- day ill that city charged with theft of some $11,600 in notes. Judge Bates was immediately taken before court and was held in $1O,OO0 bail for trial on July '. Judge Bates is prominent in stock exchange circles in Boston and was judge of the Westboro court for some time. He is regarded as a very prominent and able lawyer. He is about 40 years of age.
 MT Gloves was seen at his hand some residence in Norwood this morn ing by Democrat reporter to whom he told the entire story of the circum- stances that led, to the arrest of Judge Bates.
 "Early last February" said he, q gave Judge Bates five of my notes to negotiate. Three of the notes were for $5,000 each, one for $650 and one for $1,O33. He was to have them dis counted for me as soon as possible and had his word to that effect. But I never could get any decided answer from him about the fate of the notes once they got into his hands. He al- ways had some excuse ready. 1t was either that money was tight, or things were not exactly right with him, but he never failed to have plausible excuse ready. Once or twice he told me that the notes were all but accept ed by two or three banks, one in Westboro and two in Boston. He in fact went so far as to say that the board of directors of two bankA had agreed to discount the notes.
 ''That was the situation between Judge Bates and myself up to a few days ago when one of the notes for 5000 was received at the Manufac- turers bank for payment. I natural ly refused to pay on a note from which had received no value and I ordered it returned. So the note went back protested.
 "That incident set me to thinking and I went to Boston a few days ago and had conference with Judge Bates. He informed me that he had raised, some $650 on the note He re- turned me one of the other notes for $5,O00, but the others he would not give up, nor account for, so I had him arrested.
 Ut is a mistake to say it was bonds that were involved, for it was not. That is all there is to the affair."
 Just then MT Gloves was called to the telephone by parties in Boston and a conversation about the notes took place.

SALVATION ARMY CONGRESS.
General Booth Has Been offered am
 Island for Colonization.

General Booth Has Been offered am
 Island for Colonization.
 LONDON, July 2.-At the Salvation Army congress here last night the au- dience which greeted General Booth was perhaps the most representative which he has yet addressed.
 Tn the course of his address General Booth referred to his plans for secur- ing land for industrial centers and stated that he had that morning been offered an island, but that he would not disclose it's location. The island, he said, was about 300 square miles and in climate splendidly suited for the purposes of Salvation Army coloniza- tion.
 London is giving an especially hearty reception to the American delegation attending the congress.
 We expected to be treated as other delegations when we sailed" said Colo nel French of San Francisco. "Now we are treated by the English as at least third cousins. We receive hospi- tality on every side.'
 The New York staff band was invited by the London county council to play on the Thames embankment. Ameri- can airs were rendered to the delight of thousands, who applauded heartily. The members of the band looked ex- tremely picturesque in cowboy cos tunes, with American colors on the shoulder straps. The stars and stripes waved aloft while the band played. The American delegation. headed by the band, marched during the after noon from International hall to Exeter hall, not far distant, on the Strand. Large crowds gathered the moment the delegation appeared and followed the column to the hall, cheering along the route.
