AN EXPERT AUDITOR
lWill 0nly pat Addisieaai Iax sr
 Ovsrburdensd Ratspaysrs

"A man who knows something about auditing books says that if the city em- ploys an expert to do what is being talked of it will cost .$5,O0O or $6,OOO. In the opinion of many who know something about the condition of the books there is nothing that needs atteli- ton there hut what could be done by the comptroller without any, or at least at very little cost to anybody. Ii this be so it does seem that it would be the height of folly to pay somebody else large sum for such service as the city is fin position to do itself. It is all right to let others employ as many experts as they please and pay them, but when it comes to doing such work at the expense of the public 1t IS quite a different matter and it should not be undertaken unless the board of finance sees that the situation demands special treatment. An expert has al ready looked over the books and pro nounced the system all right, so that all there is to do is make out list of people who owe the city and then let the aldermen take steps to see that the city attorney collects it. There is lots of help in the employ of the city to attend to this work without bringing in others.

(. W. A.
Will Meet To.Nieht and Appoint More
 Committees.

There will be a meeting this even- ing of all the committees and mem- bers of the Catholic Women's associa- tion in its rooms. More of the com mittees who are to take charge of the whist party to be given at the Audi torium, May Is. will be appointed. AS this is to be the largest party yet given, every member of the association will be needed to assist in the work. The idea is to make it the jolliest af- fair the association ever gave and at the same time make enough money to meet the expenses of the year. There is no doubt that this will be the result for so far everyone shows the deepest interest in the event. The prizes are being offered by different friends so rapidly that there will be an unusual number of prize winners at the party, and the list of donors when it is com. pleted will be lengthy one. In addi. itiOn some of the expenses will be cut down, friends having offered their ser vices free of charge. It is long time since this association has called on the public to assist them. in any way and the friendliness towards it already shown Is most gratifying. To say tha, everybody will be at the party is hard ly an exaggeration, for the Catholic Women's association has made a rec ord for giving pleasant affairs.

A. 8 P. TEA co.
Obliged to lncrsaSe Their Floor Space
 for Growing Eusinsss.

The Great A. and P. Tea Co is en- larging its quarters and in short time Manager Billinge and his clerks will have lots of room for themselves and their patrons and suitable place to store their stock. A space about twenty-five feet long and twenty feet wide in the rear of the adjoining store west is being added to the tea store, and cellar is being built running the full length of the new and the old floor space, which will furnish a most de- sirable store room. The business de- mands greater facilities and the man. agement does not know how to account for it except that everybody likes what they get for their money at the Great A. and P. tea store, and kept crowding it until he was obliged to do something to accommodate the in- creased patronage. Manager Billinge thinks the card which the company carries in the Democrat responsible for ceafing sa@condlNon fof things which render it imperative that the changes now under way be made or entirely new quarters secured.

NATIVE OF WATERvlLLE.
H. II. RiSnsy's Flag Up in Honor of
 Chicago's Mayor.

H. M. Rigney hoisted the American flag at his home in Waterville yester- day in honor of the great victory won at the Chicago election by the demo- crats, whose candidate for mayor, Ed ward F. Dunne, native of Waterville, swept the field on a municipal owner ship platform. The question of muni. <cipal ownership is getting to be more than a joke and the sooner people who think private corporations should own everything the better for themselves and everybody else for the people are not going to stand for this sort of thing much longer. After all there may be some truth in the remark made in the geenral assembly not long ago that the time is not far off when there will be a general demand for the re turn to the people of all the valuable fanchises conferred upon them with out compensation during the past twenty-five or thirty years. Some of us may not live to see the finish but il is plain that public sentiment is turn ing ill that direction.

IN THE POLICE COURT
Andrew Hsssss Iinsd $2s aaA tesis
 and Three 1onths In Jail

Andrew Kattas was the star prisoner before Judge Burpee in the city court to-day. Kattas appeared to have been somewhat of n traveller. He was charged with theft of twenty silver dollars from Mike Pelanger and $10 in notes from Steve Pelanger last Mon day. He was arrested in Shelton q few days ago.
 Kattas formerly lived on Brown street with his wife, who now lives in Shelton. At that time he was em- ployed at the Chase rolling mills. Re gently he was employed by the Scovill Manufacturing Co and boarded on North Main street with the Pelangers. Last Monday morning he came to town and visited the Peiangers Mike had left $20 in coat in his room and his brother had left $10. He told the landlady that he expected to go to work for the Scoyill Manufacturing Co, but left town that forenoon. Tuesday morning he was found by policeman in Shelton sleeping behind barn. He appeared to have been lost, and said he had been robbed. He had no hat, 1 and later he found he had not been robbed, for he had three $1O bills and i one $5 bill in pocket in his shirt, and l1 cents in n pocketbook. The police man directed him to where his friends lived and later he was arrested there. This morning Kattas said that when he came here Monday he had $50 and l this money was the result of savings and the sale of his furniture when his wife moved to Shelton. When arrested ill Shelton pocket mirror was found on him. This morning he said he had the mirror about eight months, yet De, tective Kennaugh said Kattas told him he had bought it in Australia two imposed along with three months in jail.

Fox appeared tx be decent fellow. He has been 1T town four years and never before wa! in the hands of the law. He did no recall anything about the disturbance which, according to Officer Erickson was a lively one. "Why, four of Ill had to sit on him all the way to thu station,' said he, land even then h, gave us enough to do." Fox wa! charged with intoXication and resist ance and was put on thirty days pro bation to pay a fine of $10 and costs.

CERMANY'S POLICY.
Baron Speck von Sternburg
 Outlines It.
STANDS FOR OPEN DOOR IN MOROCCO
Statement Made by Order of the Elm. peFor Because of Sensational Rf. ports About Kaiser's Speech
 at TanGier.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Germany 6. has definitely and clearly outlined to the United States her Moroccan policy. Acting under instructions from Berlin, Baron Speck von Sternburg, the Ger man ambassador, called at the war de- pertinent and left with Secretary Taft a memorandum to this effect:
 Germany stands for the open door in Morocco as in the far east and for the preservation of the status quo and for the safeguarding of the commercial and trade interests not only of Ger many. but of all trading nations of the world.
 Secretary Taft without committing this government on the subject thank ed the ambassador and promptly for warded the memorandum to President Roosevelt.
 Germany makes no mention of France in the memorandum. nor does she request an expression of views by the United States.
 This information has been conveyed to the United States because of the sensational reports abroad about Ger 'many's attitude.
 After presenting the memorandum the secretary and the ambassador had brief conversation on the subject of Morocco, Baron Sternburg calling at. tention to the commercial importance of that country to the trading nations and emphasizing the international i'm. portance in Germany's opinion of the preservation there of the ''open door. '' The secretary thanked the ambassador for his explicit statement of the Ger. man policy.
 In conferring with Secretary Taft the German ambassador was acting upon a suggestion made to him by the presi dent when he called at the White House last week to say goodby. Regarding the emperor's visit to Tan gier. although it was in the line of his cruise in the Mediterranean. the object of his address was, it can be stated or high authority. to impress the Moroc cans with the seriousness Of Germany's desire that the status quo should bt maintained and that the principle of the "open door" laid down by Secre tary Hay with reference to China should be strictly adhered to in Mo rocco.
