CITY COUNCIL
MAKES COUNT
Continued from page ~

The bill of Mr.. barrow for repairs
made to the water pipe at his property
was therefore disallowed.
The liquor license of J. w. Kearney
was transferred to Riser & Sperry.
The ordinance in regard to the fire
limits, which had been pending some
time, was taken up and passed. The
ordinance practically extends the fire
limits existing heretofore one block in
each direction, such action being nee
essary owing to the growth Of the
business district since the old ordi-
nance was passed.
The license ordinance was amend
ed by adding a provision requiring
agents of outside steam laundries to
pay license of $40 per quarter.
The street committee announced
that the contract for building bridge
on Brassey street had been awarded

A DISTINGUISHED iCtizen.

Chief Justice Fuller, of the United
States supreme court, was on visit
to Maine some years ago, and while
there was entertained by "Joe' Man
ley, who died recently. Mr.. Manley
was held in great reverence by his
fellow citizens all over Maine, and es-
pecially in Augusta, his home. He
took Mr.. Fuller for a drive about the
place, but was forced by pressing
business engagement to leave his
guest before the drive was finished.
When Mr.. Manley disappeared the
driver turned to the judge, whom he
did not know, and, drawing out CT
gar, said: II suppose you don't mind
if | smoke. When we are driving
Mr. Manley we never light up, be-
cause he's rather a distinguished cit
izen."

THOUGH ON THE DOG"

The Great Falls Leader is of the
opinion that Montana's new scheme
for killing wolves and coyotes by in
oculatiOn rather than by the usual vio-
lent means, is one which promises
to be more productive of harm to
the dogs of the state than to the
animals aimed at. "At least it will
be tough on the dogs, and will GER
tainly start disease among them
which it will probably take a decade
or so to be rid Of" says that paper.
The plan, which is said to be en-
dorsed by State Veterinarian Knowles,
is to innoculate a number of coyotes
and wolves with an incurable disease,
and then turning them out to scatter
the disease among others of their
kind on the prairies of the state.
The Leader says, perhaps it may
work, but certainly if it does it will
work havoc on the dog kind" and
states the well known fact that Eat
certain times of the year coyotes and
| the dogs mingle moe or less,
and there is not the slightest doubt
but that the incubation of the form
erwould mean that the disease would
spread not only among coyotes, but
among the dogs of the state. Theo-
retically this may not sound right, but
in actual practice it will be found
| to be a fact, and a tough fact on the
Montana dog"
Under the plan devised to put the
law into effect, eight coyotes and wolf
puppies are to be secured in each of
| eight counties of the state, and at
ter being inOculated with mango are to
be carefully guarded until the arrival
of the proper moment for their re.
lease.
| when all is ready, the official
| keeper of the coyotes and wolves is
to turn the animals out, first carry
ing them at least eight miles from
the point of confinement. Under the
law the animals must be carried in
eight different directions and loosed
so that the inoculated ones may be
thoroughly distributed about the coun
try. This being done, the state must
await development. Meanwhile it will
continue to pay the bounty provided
by the law for the scalps of the pests
hoping, however, that there will at
least come an end to the necessity
for paying out hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars in bounty"
The men who are to look after the
work in each county are to receive
SIS head. this including capturing
injecting and distributing the ami
mails.
The Leader may be sounding an
ungrounded alarm. then again it may
not. Every stockman knows that the
statement that sheep dogs and coy
otes sometimes enjoy a friendly re
lationship. Is no fairy tale. Such &C

1t is now claimed that all of the
Russian grand dukes are for peace
and that the car stands alone unde-
cided. The considerations that still
delay his decision are personal ones,
he feeling that his reign is a failure
if Russia does not win the war and
that his prestige as sovereign will
be lost at home and in foreign coun-
tries. Better risk prestige for hon
orable terms of peace than feed the
flames of revolution by an unpopu-
lar and unsuccessful war.

whether sufficiently SO to place dogs
IN danger Of becoming inocuated
with mango. is a question of deep
concern to woolgrowers, and one that
should be thoroughly investigated
Growers have lost many valuable
dogs through the setting out OF pol
son for wolves and coyotes without
encountering new danger. OF course,
if mango destroys coyotes there Will
not be such great need of dogs. Ger
tainly it is a matter worth thinking
over.

WOMAN SLAIN BY RoBBER.
Shot on Fashionable Chicago Street,
Near Her Hotel.

Mrs. S. E. Mize Of New York city was
murdered In Chicago last night by a robber
while taking evening walk In one OF the
fashionable residence districts of the south
side.
For the greater part of the summer Mrs.
Mize has been guest at the Del Prado
Hotel which fronts on the Midway Pial-
sance. Last night in company with Mrs. +.
F. Wilson of Las Cruces, N. M, also guest
of the hotel, she went out for short walk.
They had reached the corner of 59th street
and Washington avenue, two squares from
the hotel when they were confronted by
man who demanded their money and Valua-
bles.
All along 59th street and on Washington
avenue people were sitting upon Verandas
and in the front yards of their residences,
and Mrs. Mize, evidently expecting help
from some of them, vigorously attacked the
robber, at the same time calling loudly for
help. Mrs. Wilson turned and ran back
toward the hotel.
for aid, when the robber shot her through
the heart, killing her instantly. Mrs. Will
son, who was looking back at the time, fell
in faint. and when the residents of the
the calls of Mrs. Mize they found both wo-
men lying upon the sidewalk. Mrs. Wilson,
still unconscious was taken to the Del Pra-
do Hotel, while the body of Mrs. Mize was
carried by the police to an undertaking es-
tablishment near at hand.
The murderer. after shooting Mrs. Mize,
fled into an alley between 5Sth and 59th
streets and disappeared in the darkness. He
was seen by nobody except Mrs Mize, Mrs.
Wilson and Mrs. Martha Scanon, guest of
the Del Prado Hotel, who, hearing the shot,
looked hastily out of the window and saw
the man running into the alley. She was
not able to describe him, and Mrs. Wilson
was so utterly Frustrated that she could not
give the police any details of his appear
ance.
A swarm of detectives and uniformed po-
licemen were on the ground within few
minutes, but, for the time being at least, the
murderer made good his escape, without
leaving a tangible clew.
The side of Mrs. Mics white shirt waist
was scorched by the flash of the revolver,
and it was the opinion of the police that he
thought Mrs. Mize intended to hold him
until aid arrived, and shot her. down to
escape possible arrest.
Mrs. Mize had been a guest at the Del
Prado Hotel since July %. Her husband
died about year ago in New York, and
since then she had been dividing her time
between Chicago and New York.

Interesting

Commissioner Alvord w. Cooley of the
civil service commission returned to his
desk this morning after many weeks abb
sence Mr.. Cooley has been on an nspec-
ton tour among the civil service districts
in the west He reports the conditions there
to be all that could be desired. During his
tour Mr. Cooley witnessed with some in
terest the examinations conducted for forest
ranger on one of the forest ranges In Wy
oming Part of the examination includes
tests of the candidates ability to ride. to
shoot an dto manage pack animals. The
tests in shooting and riding brought out
some expert borsemen and rifle and pistol
shots, and the tests in packing with pack
animals were calculate ted to bring out the
skillful manner in which the plainsmen are
accustomed to pack their supplies On bur-
ros and pack horses. Mr.. Cooley said he
found some things about the forest rangers
examination that did not seem to him to
be especially valuable and he will confer
with Mr.. Clifford Pinehot, director of the
bureau of forestry, with view of having
the examination recast.

100000 given by Waggaman in July. 1904.
The principal question of law involved in
the proceeding, II is said is whether the
trust given 10 the Catholic University OF
America is to stand against the property.
or is to be set aside as constituting a pref
erence, forbidden by Tie bankruptcy law.
This trust was made the bass of the first
petition in bankruptcy filed against Wag-
gaman last summer, and at the hearing
thereon adjudication was strenuously OPP
posed by Attorney Charles J. Bonaparte,
now Secretary of the Navy, in behalf OF
the university, on the ground that the trust
was not preference because. at the time
of its execution. the university authorities
were informed by Mr.. Waggaman that he
was worth S1.00oGG0 over and above all his
liabilities.
The attorneys of the university also
claimed an equitable ownership of the
Woodley tract because of the use of their
money in its purchase and Improvement.
1t is stated that strenuous opposition will
be made to the granting Of the petitions
of the bill filed yesterday and the case
may be taken to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
History of Purchase.
The history Of the purchase OF woodley
Park is set forth at some length in the
bill The land was bought by Thomas E.,
John F. and Henry P. Waggaman, John
F. holding half interest and the other
John F. Waggaman sold to the late Benz
tamin K. Plain quarter interest and Henry
P. Waggaman sold to Mr.. Plain a siI-
teenth interest, which total five-sixteenths
interest Mr. Plain subsequently sold to
Henry p. Waggaman for s115,O0O. receiv-
ing $4,000 in cash and four notes aggre-
eating $165 600, three of which are said
to be held by the Washington Loan and
Trust Company. trustee, under the will Of
Mr.. Plain and the other by the Catholic
University. Other changes in the owner
ship of the Woodley tract followed, and at
the time of the bankruptcy. proceedings
John F. Waggaman owned 4-16, John
Ridout LAO. Thomas E. Waggaman 9-18
less LAO. Henry P. Waggaman PIG and
Samuel NJ. Wasgaman Lie.
The value of the Woodley tract. 1t is es-
timated. is 81, 2O0,O0O against which are
liens of 100000, which would leave an
equity of $4,000, out of which, should the
trust to the Catholic University be set
aside, Mr.. Dulany should receive some-
thing like $5O0.000 for the creditors OF
Thomas E. Waggaman. The universities
trust; however, If allowed to stand would
wipe out all the alleged equity and leave
nothing for the unsecured creditors.
Holders of Notes.
The list of all the holders of the notes
secured by the trusts of record against the
Woodley tract is given in the bill and
among them are several prominent indi-
viduals and corporations including the Cor
coran Gallery of Art, which, it is stated.
holds notes agregating s1432O0; George

TRIALS OF THE PLUNGER.
Submarine Boat Experiment at Oyster
Bsy Last of Week

OYSTER BAY. L. l., August 23.-The
trials of the submarine torpedo boat Plum
ger in the presence of President Roosevelt
probably will take place either Friday or
Saturday. While he is interested In the
performance of the vessel the President
has intention of being aboard of her
during the trials or to go down with her
when she makes dive
He says that he could accomplish no
good by being on the vessel during her
tests and that he simply would be in the
way. The report that he intends to go
on board the vessel when she is going
through her maneuvers under water, the
President himself says, is without founda-
ton and he requests that it be denied.
The Plunger left her moorings near the
j. West Roosevelt pier during the morning
and with her commander, Lieut.. Charles p
Nelson. and her crew of seven men aboard,
went through some maneuvers in the bay
lasting about two hours. She was under
observation by people on scores OF craft
OF every description and went through her
PAGES without an apparent hitch.
