MUNICIPAL ASPHALTING PLANT
As Wen as Municipal Lighting Plant Up
for Consideration.

Mayor Mcclellan. In his annual message,
which will be read at special meeting
of the Aldermen tomorrow, will, It is I'M
derstood. have a great deal to say on the
public lighting question. He will urge the
Aldermen to cooperate In the establishment
of q municipal electric lighting plant.
1t will be several days before Comptroller
Grout will make an attempt to probe into
the inner workings of the Consolidated
Gas Company. While il is expected that
the officials of thi company will follow
the example of the heads Of the New York
Edison Company and refuse to attend
the Com ptroller's inquisition. Mr.. Grout
is having collated the information he has
obtained egarding the cost of producing
and distributing gas. This work Is being
undertaken by Henry Yonge, the Comp
t5oller's personal counsel, and ex-senator
T. f. Donnelly Mr.. Donnelly said yester-
day that il would be at least a week before
the information upon which 1t ia proposed
10 examine the gas company's representa-
tives could be tabulated. He added that
this information showed that the company
! ad charged the city eXorbitant prices.
Commissioner Oakley has assigned
Charles f. Lacombe Of his department
TO help Comptroller Grout In the investi-
cation Mr.. Lacombe Is in charge OF the
surface construction work OF the gas and
electricity bureaus. Recently he wrote
a report asserting that tho prices charged
by the lighting companies we're too high.
Although the annual report of the Bureau
Of Highways, which was sent yesterday
20 Borough President Ahearn, declared
that much Of the complaint made against
the asphalt companies for not repairing
their pavements was not justified, IL
touched upon the proposal to establish a
municipal asphalt plant. Such a plant,
it was stated II properly conducted, would
be benefit to the city" More than thirty
miles Of streets were paved with asphalt
last year. Uncompleted work for which
contracts have been made covers fifteen
miles additional In showing that the
contractors have tried 10 live up 10 the
repairing clauses Of their agreements the
report points out that more than 25,o00
holes and breakages in pavements have
been repaired The asphalt of Park row
will be laid on q cenent foundation.

LAM as chairman OF the board. directed

tons to its plant that would be needed TO

troler Grout the board adopted resou-
ton that it was for the best interests OF the
city that the Brown company should have
the contract.
This resolution. 1t was stated after the
meeting. was almost word for word with the
one adopted last year on the motion Of
Mayor Low. Tho then board gave the con-
tract TO the Brown company. although it

LIES TOLD IN COURTSHIP

probability OF a vast amount of lying during

Mrs. Wood in her testimony given at the

seymour Victor Wood on the Lucsnia while

She sand that Wood spoke to her mother and
herself on the deck of the steamer and in

said that after the steamer arrived their

BLACK NOT TO RETIRE.
His Republican Friends in Troy Say He VIII
Not Get Out OF Politics.

Troy, Dec. 3i.--The story printed in tho

is not wholly in accord with the Republican
administration in this city, that Frank s.
Black. soured by his defeat for United States
Senator. intended to retire from politics
and give his whole time TO the practice OF
law in New York, was denied tonight by the
closest political friends of Mr.. Black. Super
intendeDt Of Prisons C. V. Collins, one OF Mr..
Blacks closest friends and lieutenants,
was seen at the Elks Club tonight and said:
$50 far as know. there is no truth whct-
ever in the statement We all want Mr.
Black for our leader and expect he will con-
tinue in that position. He has not said any
thing to me TO the contrary. He has not
said word about leaving this city or getting
out of politics. On the contrary, | think
he will remain just where he is for long
time to come. He has no feeling in this
Senatorship matter. except the duplicity
of Gov. Odell.'
Mr. Black himself could not be reached

HOW no ERADICATE POLYGAMY.
Ex-senator Edmunds sugg tests What Can BE
Done Toward Destroying the Evil.

The Hon. George F. Edmunds, former
United States Senator from Vermont in
an opinion on the Mormon question, which
will appear in the next issue of the Christian
Herald SAYS:
The practice of Mormon polygamy and
the political influence Of the hierarchy have
been gradually and steadily expanded into
the Territories OF New Mexico, Arizona and
Oklahoma, and into the States of Idaho,
Wyoming California and Oregon. This is
a condition of things that should receive the
most serious consideration OF the great body
of the citizens Of our country. to whom both
the institution of polygamy and the inter
ference or attempted interference Of re-
ligious or professed religious organizations
with the political autonomy OF any repub-
lican country are abhorrent.
What then can be done toward destroy
ing the evil? The national Constitution
can be 80 amended as.
First, to prohibit polygamous marriages
and plural cohabitation. and provide for
their punishment, and,
Second, to require all persons taking
Office under the Constitution or laws of the
United States or OF any State TO take and
subscribe an oath that he or she is not and
will not be a mem Der of any organization
require him or her 10 disregard his or her
duty To support the Constitution and laws
OF the United States and OF the several States.
'These two provisions would it is be-
lieved, have the effect, substantially to
eradicate the practice OF polygany in all
the States and Territories alike. and would,
likewise. prevent Office holding either
under national or State jurisdiction, by
persons who felt that they had any obliga-
tons Of civil or political character para
mount 10 their obligations to the whole
country or TO their States.
The first suggested amendment would
In no wise interfere with State sovereignty,
unless the State itself should desire either
TO establish or tolerate poygamous prac-
tees, for each State could prohibit and
punish the same acts against its sovereignty
il it should (as it ought choose to do so.
The second suggested amendment does
not in the least interfere with the SOW
ereignty of any State, but the rather sup
ports it; and it would be inconvenient and
troublesome only to persons really unfaith-
full to their whole country or TO their State
or las it ought TO be- to any State or COM
munity which was willing that its chosen
officers should be under obligations para
mount to those they owe to their country,
State or community.

The animal that originally owned the

of the women OF the haren thought il
would be fun to pull his name. The lion

injured lady's anger was still warm and
took il 10 Germany.
When the animal died he had the long
tooth set and presented it TO Director

He had difficulty in squeezing through
