PAYING THE FIDDLER
COUNT BONTS EXTRAVAGANCE
Is MOST PICTURESQUE.
He Is Said Ia Owe Something Near
S3,OOo,OOO, Much OF it for
Jewelry.

Paris, Feb. 13.--The scandal in
the family OF Count Bonf de Castel-
lane is destined to furnish aristo-
cratic society gossip for another
month. An American woman. NOV
ing in the exclusive set OF Partisan
society, said today:
II hear the counts debts aggre-
gate 100000 francs, OF which s.
100000 francs is due to jewellers.
Bonl is heavily indebted also to
money lenders and tradesmen. His
extravaganza is picturesque and
monumental.
at is stated that he once borrowed
from a tailor. He ordered a fur coat
costing 100000 francs. When the
coat was delivered there was 80, 900
francs in one OF the pockets. This
method of borrowing from trades
people is practiced by many aristo-
Gratis In Paris"
A vlscountess, whose name is men
toned In connection with the counts
said before the scandal was dis
closed. while praising the counts
amiability:
Just fancy Boni dined in my
home only a few times, and now
sends me pearl necklace. worth
100000 francs"
The counts extravaganza rivaled
that of the eccentric English Marquis
Anglesey, who. in paying his bills,
always scorned to accept any change.
His generous tips enriched scores of
lacksys in Paris.

In His Effort to Add Blackburn
Men to Committee.
IL Was the First Trial of Administra-
tons Strength in the
House.
JUDGE BARRY MAKES CHARGES.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 13.-The
first test of strength of the state ad-
ministration forces in the lower
branch of the general assembly.
came shortly before noon today,
when Representative Eli Barry. of
Lyon and Marshall, attempted to put
throughta resolution naming a COM
mittee of his own selection, and of
men Of the Blackburn faction in the
late political fight, to be added to the
committee previously elected by the
speaker. to investigate several de-
partments of the state government,
to ascertain as to the advisability of
curtailing assistance and salaries.
The house by a vote of 54 to SO
adopted a substitute for the resolu-
ton, the substitute providing an ad-
dition to the committee, but allow
ing the speaker to name the new
members of that committee.
Mr. Barry said his resolution grew
out of the failure of the original
committee to meet with him. He
declared that he could not get
meeting. and that If he
could, he could prove that thousands
of dollars are being wasted and men
in minor positions paying monthly,
half of their salaries to hold jobs.

President Discusses situation.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Chinese
exclusion legislation was one of the
subjects discussed yesterday by the
president. Representative Perkins,
of New York. a member of the sub
committee of the house foreign af-
fairs committee which has this sub
ject under consideration, told the
presiden. that the matter soon would
be taken up by the committee and
that he had no doubt definite action
would be taken.
Mr. Perkins believed it would be
the effort of congress to render less
Objectionable the laws enforced
against the Chinese. His idea is
that United States officials be locat-
ed at a few Of the important ports
of China and that they issue to i'm
migrants to the United States certifi-
Gates which shall be accepted on
their arrival in America as definite
evidence of the right of the holders
to land here.
Mr.. Perkins says there is no in
tention on ,the part of congress to
admit Chinese coolies to this coun-
try.

Telephone Company Would Not
Accept Compromise Terms.
IL Wanted the Franchise to Embody
Ono Rate, and City Wanted
Another.
COURTS MAY HAVE TO SETTLE

lne anticipated compromise De-
tween the city and the East Tennes-
see Telephone company did not ma
terialize this morning at meeting of
the general council and City Solicitor
Campbell. and General Counsel w.
l.. Cranberry, of Nashville. for the
Cumberland Telephone company,
which operates the East Tennessee
under lease. and the company's local
attorneys. Wheeler. Hughes and
Berry.
The city offered to put up for sale
compromise franchise, to embody
these rates:
Business telephones. .s4.00 a year
Residence telephones. $500 a year
These rates were for 1000 tels
phones, the company to have the
privilege OF increasing rates so cents
month on business telephones and
30 cents on residence telephones, for
each additional thousand, up to Sc
on business telephones and SO on
residence telephones, which was to
be the maximum rate that could be
charged for 20 years, the life of
the franchise.
The telephone company rejected
the proposition. 1t wanted the
rates cited above for 5000 tele-
phones. the so cent and 25 cent in
crease to go on for any part of an ad
ditional thousand.
The effort to compromise today
was the result of long-drawn out liti-
cation between the city and the tele-
phone company. which recently came
20 head in the shape of an injupc-
ton taken out In federal court re-
straining the city from interfering in
any way with the operation of the
company's line.
When the case came up al Louis
VILE before Judge Evans the city
promised to not molest the company
pending compromise, and no in
junction was issued. The effort to
compromise is what came up today,
and failed.
II is supposed that the case will
now go the rounds of the courts, the
telephone company to renew its mo-
tion for an injunction.
When the city's suit to oust the
company came up in circuit court
several weeks ago it was thrown out
on a techncality, and the federal
court Injunction asked by the COM
pany was the next step.
81 am sorry that we did not settle
this matter today" said Mayor Yeis-
er. 81 was in favor of a compromise
and hoped for one. suppose now
the city will let the case be fought
out in the courts"
The mayor has always contended
that the company has no right, an
der present circumstances, to do bus
mess in the city, and wanted To make
il take franchise. He recognized
the fact that the city was under
moral obligation. probably, to accept
the company's offer and wanted to
do so
The attorneys for the company
say they have made what they
thought was very fair proposition,
and have nothing, further to offer,
and will now let the federal court
decide what rights 1t has in the city
They contend they have the whip
hand in the matter, and will win in
test of the merits of the case.
Judge James Campbell, in his re-
marks to. the council today said 1t
was an unwise move for the city
that the case got into the federal
courts, conveying the impression that
the city would have had better
case in the state courts.
