 Face Him To-Day.

In the city court to-day the case of John R. Birney was put over un Ill tomorrow as his counsel, Attor-. ney Russell, could not be present this morning. Birney, on Friday night, was driving "Andy" John- sons hack and had as his passenger B.. F. Andrews, commissioner of the safety board and city editor of the American. After carrying MT An drews up to Cooke street, Birney re- fused to- so any further and demand cd his fare, and refused to move in any direction until he received fifty cents, and finally the newspaper man became disgusted and walked home. He later had a warrant made out for Birney's arrest.

The next day her brother-in-law met the officer and promised to make 1t al. right with him if he did not report the case. Gowodivin denied that he owned the dog, but the court inn posed a fine of $1 and costs and there was a look of anguish on the face of the accused as he paid his six bones.

RAILROAD RATE BILL.
Senator Long Will 0aer Important
 Amendment.

Senator Long will ORer Important
 Amendment.
 WASHINGTON April 2.--Friends of the house railroad rate bill, in conference with President Roosevelt at the White House, agreed upon an amendment providing specifically for judicial re- view of orders of the interstate com merce commission. This amendment will be presented by Senator Long, a pronounced opponent of any amend ment which would permit the railroads to obtain a review of a character amounting to retrial of the merits of the commissions order.
 Senators Allison. Cullom, Deliver, Clapp and Long. Attorney General Moody and Interstate Commerce Con- missioners Knapp and Prouty were called to the White House. Soon after they assembled the president submit ted the court review amendment that was afterward indorsed by all present. A number of the conferees previously had seen the draft, but its authorship was not disclosed. The president an- nounced that he had decided upon the meeting because he desired to ascer- tain the present state of feeling In congress regarding a judicial review feature in the legislation.
 Senator Tillman. who has charge of the railway rate bill in the senate. said that he was not satisfied with the court review amendment to the measure which was agreed on at a conference between President Roosevelt. Repub- lican senators and members Of the in- terstate commerce commission. The senator said he would oppose 1t on the floor of the senate.

BRONSON LIBRARY POSITIONS.
Competitive Examinations Will Be
 Held for Assistant Librarians.

The board of agents of the Bron- son library fund held a meeting Sat urday afternoon and appointed a committee consisting of Miss Sperry, the librarian, and MT Fitzpatrick to conduct examinations for positions in the library. In the past the cus- tom in vogue when help was needed was to hunt around after them, but this has become very unsatisfactory and the librarian would much prefer to have assistants examined and talk en in on their merit. With this end in view Miss Sperry asked that com petitive examinations be held foc four assistants to work for some time without pay and then come in from time to time when they are needed and receive such compensation as might be decided upon, probably fif- teen cents an hour. The board thought favorably of the proposition and authorized such a system. The plan will be explained more fully by the librarian before the exam1na- tion is held, but it may just as we'll be stated now that the examinations will be open to all and the ones with the best markings will get the places.
 The questions will consist very largely of one's knowledge of au- thors, general information such as employees of public library are ex- pected to know, together with how best to suit the folks who call at the institution. Of course there may not be any permanent position in the lt- brary for some time, but you never can tell. It will be time enough to make applications when the com mittee calls for them, so that nobody need run around bothering the H. brarian as to how and when to pro- ceed.
 Another matter brought up by the librarian and acted upon favorably was the cataloguing of some docu- ments that have been in the library for years and should be cared for soon if they are to be preserved. Miss Sperry was authorized to employ cataloguer for three months to at tend to this work. The wages of the janitor, MT Hall, were fixed at $7O per month This is a slight advance, but it was deemed wise to put it at a fixed sum the year round rather than continue paying him two diff ferent prices, one for the busy seq son and another for the time when he was not supposed to be on guard Cnndayc

T. F. MEAGHER MONUMENT.
Committee Will Place Funds at In-
 terest Until Enough is. Seoured. ..

The T. F. Meagher monument committee held meeting last night in Hibernian hall and did consider able business. The amount needed has not yet been raised. but con- sidering the fact that 1t has not been pushed except by one or two, quite considerable has been done, and 1t is expected that the committee will soon be in a position to make final arrangements for the work. Yester- day T. F. Luddy turned in $50 to Treasurer J. H.. Moran. This with returns made by ]. P. Calvin and others made very satisfactory show ing. Mir Moran was instructed to deposit the funds at interest. It was also the sense of the meeting that people who may wish to contribute and who may not be called upon by any of the collectors should send their donations direct to the treas- urer, who will acknowledge the re- ceipt of same by letter. At the sug- gestion of Mir Tierney. Chairman Luddy was requested 10 make some addition to the committee.
 The committee talked over vari- ous things relative to the monument and the man whom it is intended to honor and decided to arrange 1t so that when everything is completed a parchment list of donors with the amounts credited to each shall be slowed away in the stone work. It was also voted to request the Rev Father Slocum, who. by the way, was a personal friend of Mir Meagher. to make a few remarks at the unyeil- ing of the monument. A committee consisting of Chairman Luddy was appointed to inform Father Slocum of this action. Martin Scully of the Democrat was named as press agent.
 The meeting adjourned until Sat- urday afternoon. April 22.
 The committee is acting by author ity of the several divisions of the A. O. H. and 1t Is probable that a big demonstration will be held here when the monument is unveiled. Mir Meagher was for many years trust ed employe of the United Gas Im- movement Co and one of the oldest and best known members of the A. O. II. in New England. He vas . native of Dublin. Ireland. and had been connected with the Irish move ment from his boyhood. Tn his younger years he served in the regu- lar army of the United States. and could tell interesting anecdotes Of escapades on the frontier half a cen tury ago. The remains of Mr MeaEher and his wife are buried in St Joseph's cemetery The officers of the committee are: President. T. F. Luddy: secretary. !. P. Sheehan; treasurer. ]. H. Moran
