PARK BOND ISSUE
BEFORE COUNCIL
Lower Board Will Consider
Measure Tonight.

SALOON LICENSES ARE SOUGHT

Park bonds will be one of the inn
portant topics of consideration be-
fore the board of councilmen at the
meeting tonight, when a measure.
providing for an election on the ques-
ton of Issuing 100000 in municipal
bonds for the purchase and improve
ment Of a system of public parks.
will be introduced
Thee seems to be no doubt as to
the action of the general council in
calling the election. as It is under
stood that both the administration
and the council favor the PROPOSE
ton. Business men. when they UNDER
stand that the issue does not con-
template an increase in the rate for
park purposes above that established
by the charter, are unanimously in
favor of the issue, and the general
council Will afford the people an OPP
portunlty to vote on the question.
1t is proposed to hold the bond
election on the regular November
election day. thus mourning no addi-
tional expense for the purpose. This
easily can be done and the law COM
piled with. If the general council
takes immediate action.
II is probable that the franchise
ordinance for the Nineteenth street
extension of the street railway COM
pany's lines will be ready for intro
duction in the lower board tonight.
The new line will reach Worten's
addition, which is now without
transportation facilities.
II is understood that applications
will be made for licenses to open
saloons in locations closed up by
the refusal Of licenses to the former
proprietors. Theodore Peters will
ask to open a saloon at 1910 Broad
way and Oscar Denker will ask for
one to open a saloon at 1913 Ken
lucky avenue. Bud Quarles old stand
near the Union station also has an
applicant. Two of the applicants
were refused licenses in June.

Women Forgotten.

London. Aug. 6-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph
describes the Sirlo dlsa. ter as one of
the worst on record. Italian emf
grants with knives in their hands and
without regard for women or children,
fought with the greatest brutality for
possession of life buoys and boats.
Many were killed or wounded, in
Guiding several members of the crew
who we're attacked by emigrants.
When the captain saw the vessel
was lost and that the emigrants had
captured the boat he committed sui
eide by shooting with revolver.
Other officers then lost their heads
and there was nobody to direct the
work of rescue.
Eye witnesses give awful pictures
of the brutal panic on board. For
hals an hour the emigrants were mas
tiers of the situation. They com
plete.y overcame the crew by the
force of numbers. and this in spite OF
the efforts of the officers who tried
to save the women and children first.
One report even states, the cores
pendent continues. that group OF
emlgrants approached one of the
ships boats which already was full
and which was about to be launched
and dislodged people, killing several
with knives.
