JUST FOUR CENTSADAY
What 1t Will Cost for Ten years to
Pave Kansas Avenue.

Tt will take just four cents a day for
ten years for repaving of Kansas ave-
nue.. This is the way Mayor W. H
Davis and James McCabe, city engineer.
have figured it out.
1T will cost just four cents q. day for
ten years for a twenty-five foot lot, y
said the mayor this morning Now
what do you think of that2 Somebody
or other said that the property owners
would be compelled to increase the rent
al of their buildings If they were forced
to repave. Do you think that the prop
erty owners would be forced to increase
their rental because of four cents q
day? It doesn't look as if they would
be forced to, does it2''
The four cents is on the basis of paw
ing with brick.
The property owners committee which
is handling the repavfng situation has
made overtures to the Barber Asphalt
company for the waving eff the latter's
contract to repair the asphalt streets.
The contract has one year to run yet.
The contract price specified for repair
is S15s per square yard. The committee
is afraid that the Barber company may
try to interfere with any repaving
scheme unless a waiver is secured.

PERSONA NON GBATA.
Roumania Invites a Greek Consul to
Leave the Country.

Bucharest, Roumania, Feb. 20
The Graeco-R oumanian differences.
due to the alleged Ill treatment of
Greeks in Roumania, have been fur
ther complicated by a demand of the
foreign Office that NJ. Kapsambels, the
Greek consul at Constantza. leave
Roumania Immediately. 1t appears
that while accompanying a compa-
triot who was embarking on a steamer
under order of expulsion, NJ. Kapsam-
bells publicly voiced his resentment
in a manner so insulting to the Rou-
maniau government that the latter
has no choice but to demand his de-
parture from the country.
The rouble between Greece and
Roumania is due to the fact that the
sultan Of Turkey in May. 1905, issued
an trade officially recognizing the
Roumanian or Kutzo-Vlach element
in Macedonia. This caused irritation
among the Greeks, who boycotted
those employing the Roumanian Ian
guage in church services. The excite
ment thus aroused in Macedonia led
to reprisals against the Greeks in
R0umania.

WHAT MONROE MEANT.
Root Explains What the
Former President Had in Mind

Washington, Feb. 20.-The diplomatic
representatives of the South American
republics in this city are discussing
with great interest the speech made
by Secretary Root at the dinner which
the Brazilian ambassador gave in his
honor and in honor of the countries
which will send delegates to the Pan
American congFess@fn Rio de JaneirO
next summer. Mr.. Root talked chiefly
about the Monroe d6ctrine and said in
part:
when President Monroe, coming to
the aid of struggling Spanish-America,
made the audacious and gallant declar-
alton that no part Of the American
continent must be deemed subjected to
colonization by any European power he
affirmed the proposition that all the
American republics are competent to
maintain throughout their territories
government answering to the demands
of civilization, preserving order, en-
forcing the law, doing justice and per-
forming ali fnterna tfonal obligations.
ITO that proposition all of us stand
committed. It's truth we all maintain.
Every evidence in its support is "a source
of satisfaction to us. Every forward
step in the path of progress by any
American republic is cause OF joy to
all of us. Let me then, Mr.. Anbassa-
dor pass along the toast which you
were good enough to propose to my
unworthy self. I ask you to drink to
the sisterhood of American republics.
May. every one Of them grow IN pros
Deritv and strength May the independ-
ence. the freedom and the rights OF the
least and weakest be ever represented
equally with the rights of the strong
est and may we all do our share tow

Hghtened public opinion of the Ameri-
cans which shall everywhere, upon both
continents nightly promote the reign
of peace of order and of justice, IN
every American republic"

NO OPPOSITION no GREEN.
City Central Committee Won't Refuse
to Put His Name on Ticket.


From every indication no opposition
viii develop in the Republican city
central committee towards the candi-
dacy of VIM. Green as councilman
from the Third ward on the Repub-
hcan ticket. Though the matter will
be definitely settled at the committee
meeting Wednesday evening, the feel
ing is that Mr.. Green's name will be
allowed to remain on the ticket. Major
A. NJ. Harvey the remaining candidate
for the Third ward, has addressed an
open letter to H. @. Larimer of the
committee requesting that Mr.. Green
be allowed to remain on the ticket.
The letter follows:
Mr.. H. G. Larimer, Chairman City
Central Committee.
My Dear Sir and Friend
From published accounts in the
newspapers and from conversation
with several of your committeeman, I
have learned that there might be q
protest against the entry of William
Green in the Republican primary for
the Third ward, and that If such a
protest should be made, your commit
tee would be likely to refuse him
place on the Republican ticket.
1t may seem presumptuous In me to
volunteer a suggestion, and yet I hope
that your committee will take no ac-
ton which viii permit Mr.. Green to
pose as a martyr. It Is reported that
ne has said that he expected the COM
mfttee to take Just that action, and if
it did so it would help him as an in
dependent candidate.
AS you well know before becoming
a candidate I consulted with Mr.
Green with regard to his Intentions
and was assured by him that he would
not present his name before the Re-
publican primary. assigning as his
reason that his lifelong Affiliations had
been with the Democratic party, and
that he preferred to run as an inde-
pendent candidate. I afterwards
learned that he had made practically
the same statement to a number of
other gentlemen, including yourself.
This was the situation at the time I
became a candidate. and so remained
until the day Of the closing of the en-
tries. Under these circumstances I am
in the race to the finish. and suggest
that your committee allow Mr.. Green's
name to go before the primary so that
the Republican voters of the Third
ward may nominate him if they desire
to do SO. Yours truly,
A. NJ HARVEY.

TER SKULL CRUSHED.

New York, Feb. 20.=A murder
mystery with some features not unlike
that of the famous Patterson case Of
two years ago. is engaging the atten-
ton of the police today. AS IN the
crime which cost Caesar Young his life
and Nan Patterson, an actress. more
than a year Of her liberty, a cab and
a woman of the stage are the prin-
cipal features in the mystery of today.
The woman, Gussie Hart. was the VIC
tim, and the carriage, according to
the theory of the police, was the
scene Of her DEATH Several persons
who are thought to know something
Of the manner in which the woman
was killed have disappeared.
The first intimation that a crime
had been committed came to the POI
lice when a physician notified them
that he had been called to the house
at 261 West Thirty-eighth4 STREET.-THE
attend woman and found her dead.
Her skull had been fractured. Miss
Hart had been appeared in 1.-THE
Child Wife" at a theater in this city
and had theatrical engag ements here
until May next. The police were un-
able to learn where she was from the
time she left the theater last night
until several hours later when a cab
stopped before the house where she
roomed in West Thirty-eighth street.
Then they say two men took her
from the cab and carried her into the
house and few minutes later the
physician was called. He was told
that woman was i'll. When he
reached the room he FOUND two wo-
men and three men at the bedside.
Miss Hart was dead.
When a coroner. who was notified
at once, reached the room, none of
the watchers remained. The body of
the woman, with the head terribly
battered, was lying undIsturbed on
the bed, and the walls along the stair
way up which it had been carried
were smeared with blood The police
are now searching for the cab and
for the two men who carried the wo-
man body to her room
Miss Hart told the 1andIady of her
boarding house few days ago that
her family resided in Washington,
D. c.
Later-The police arrested Edward
Murphy, a dancing master. and It de-
Xeloped that the woman's death was
due to an accidental fall down a flight
Of stairs.
Miss Hart was about so years old. She
was well known as a black face come
dienne. She has son living in Gin
cinnati. A daughter died recently
