DR. Coulter made the statement he in

Mrs Coulter said Friday morning she did
not intend to take any legal proceedings

could not help but feel in her own mind
turn to their mother at an early oppor-
tunity.
THE girls hardly know their father"
stated Mrs. Coulter. II have reared and
cared for .hem right along and their dis
appearance comes as a severe blow, put l
am confident they will soon return. But If
they should not want to come back to me

Roberta is years of age and Marion 10.

MORE PkyINC THAN USUAL

it is Said.
DESPITE LIMITATIONS OF THE FUND
Engineering Department Expects to
Give Figures as to Amount of
Money Available in
Few Days.

Statements are made in the city engi-
neer's office that despite the limitations on
the intersection fund paving this summer
will break all records back to 1893. when
nearly 100000 worth of street flooring was
put down. 1t is now clear that considera-
BILE paving desired cannot be obtained this
year owing to the shortage of money in
the, intersection fund, out of which the
city must pay for the paving put in at
street intersections. Just how much money
Is available and how far 1t will carry the
improvements contemplated has not been
estimated, but the engineering department
expects to be able to give figures on the
matter within a few days
Up to the present petitions have been
filed calling for paving on thirty streets.
For seven of these jobs bids have becn
opened and the proceedings have reached a
poiat that means actual work within two
weeks or so. Bids on four other jobs will
be opened At the next council meeting
June 20. At this same meeting ordinances

districts and ordering paving on twelve

ing filed at the city hall.

of the women were inexperienced in parlia-

would make many mistakes, but that, il
left to themselves, they would work out
their own problems and that the expert
ence of doing things themselves would but

WILL THEY RESIGN.

The statement Is made with an ap- pearance of authority that one of the first matters to come before the New York Legislature when it meets in January, will be the introduction of a resolution asking for the resignation of Senator Depew. Senator Bracket of Saratoga is expected to introduce it, and the conservative Journal of Com merce thus speaks of it:
 Whatever the sentiment of his party as represented in the Legislature may be on the subject, there can be no dues- tion that the honor and dignity of the State of New York demands that Sena- tor Depew step down and out" His reputation Is damaged beyond repair. confidence in him is destroyed, and his power to serve the State in the United the Senior Senator?" That question too. was put to Mir. Bracket, ana he said: ''Mr. Platt has been so long cal loused to any demand for reform that Gabriela trumpet would never stir him." but he found this shade of diff ference" between the conduct of MT. Depew and his older colleague: 'Sena- tor Platt applied what he received from the insurance companies nominally to help the party; senator Depew Pocketed what he got" But were not these ill., gotten funds applied mainly to secure control of theNLegislature which elected Mir. P1att to the United States Senate? Would he ever have got there on his as statesman or on the ground of his service to the people of the State ana the eonndenee he had thereby
