BILL SEWELL'S REWARD.
Taught Roosevelt to Hunt Deer and VIII
he Collector Of Internal Revenue.

INLAND FALLS, Me-, July 3-While teach
Ing Theodore Roosevelt to hunt deer and
shoot moose in the Maine woods, twenty five
years ago, William W. Sewell learned politics
90 thoroughly that he has defeated mil
lionaire In contest for public office. Sewell
will be appointed by Roosevelt as Collector
OF Internal Revenue for the Aroostook
district which covers more territory than
any other collection district in New England.
The present incumbent Thomas H.
Phair OF Presque Isle. has put up hard
fight for disappointment, but the President
has assured Sewell that there will Ike a
change when the official is ma med and that
the older hunter will get the job.
Sewell already holds a Government job
being postmaster here by President Roose
velt's appointment some time ago. He is
typical Maine ~oodsnan and was the
first white person born in this town. In 1890,
when young Roosevelt was student at
Harvard College and was taken so i'll that
his physicians said he could not recover,
Sewel invited the young man to come to
Maine and hunt and fish.
Young Roosevelt. in the care OF corps of
nurses, came on against the wishes of two
the little thin boy who wore glasses and
didn't seem to care for any one in Island
Falls and how great was his liking for Big
Bill Sewell. The two went to Sewell's
camp, few miles from here. and spent the
entire fall and winter in the woods. In
the spring Roosevelt's health had improved
TO such a degree that he was able to resume
his studies at Harvard and since then has
been a well man.

MARRIED. TWO CHURCH MEMBERS
Police Had been Asked by the COngrcga'
tiOn to Disperse LOungers.

PHILADELPHIA, July 3.-Church members
have no more rleh. to stand on the side
walks about their plnces Of worship than
have corner loungers. Magistrate Boyle
promulgated this legal doctrine this morn
ing at the Thrty-ninth street police station
as lie held two men for court.
Policeman Savage was detailed by Lieut..
Campbell. in response to appeals from
members Of the cong regation of the Cen
tenary Methodist Episcopal Church, who
complained that Sunday services were
frequently interrupted by disorderly young
men who lounged about the corner and in
dulged in boisterous and profane talk.
They asked that a patrolman be stationed
In the vicinity Of the church to arrest the
offenders.
Savage went on this duty yesterday
afternoon. An hour later he sent George
Hayes and George Blem to the station
house, charging disorderly conduct. Short
ly afterward members OF Centenary CON-
gregation arrived at the police station
in hot haste. The prisoners, they said.
were respectable members OF the Sunday
school and also sang in the choir. They
manded the release Of Hayes and Blem,
but Lieut.. Campbell could not act in the
matter. When Ma gistrate Boyle arrived
this morning the situation WAS laid before
him.
1T makes no difference whether these
men are church members or not y he said.
They have no right to lounge upon street
corners during the service hours. | will

one or contemplate doing anything to
interfere with Sunday baseball games law
fully conducted, Justice Blanchard Of the
Supreme Court refused yesterday to grant
an injunction preventing interference with

The club ret up that no admission fees

The police, in reply to this. asserted
that advertisements Of the games were

Justice Blanchard in his decision charac-

When Gottlieb Goeddeke. 40 years old,
was arrested by Newark detectives on
Sunday night they found in his pocket a

This was not necessary to prove crimina |

where, according to his own story, he died
from injuries received in New Brunswick.
He wrote postal cards to acquaintance in
Newark, signing another name, saying that
the writer had been requested by Goeddeke
in his dying hour to apprise them of his

Detective Fohs thought that he saw

The increases In the real and personal
assessments represent the normal growth
OF the city. In the list Of assessments Of
personal estate there are very few changes.
The amounts held In 1903 in Mayor Lows
administration, when the full valuation
policy was put into effect, are for the most
part still accepted by the city. Among this
class Of taxpayers the final list is
just about the same as the tentative
list which was published in THE Sun when
the tax books were opened
The budget for this year is Sl09, 81 !. 593.
The general fund will this year aggregate,
it is estimated, 322 979. OO2, leaving $50, $685.
500 to be raised by taxation.
The reduction In the tax rate will be an
agreeable surprise TO taxpayers. who had
been led to believe that because of the
large budget there would be an increase.
One of the causes which have made the
lesseniug Of the rate possible Is the bill the
administration had passed by the Legislature
taking from the budget the advances made
by the city to property owners for their
share OF the cost of street openings and
improvements Hitherto the city has al
lowed the property owners to pay their
assessments during term OF years and the
shortage was provided for in the budget.
The new bill allows the city to issue assess
ment bonds on account of these payments
and the bonds are Cancelled az the assess
ments are paid

have been held on the personal tax rolls
are:
