cision, holding that the corporation
had abused and misused it's franchise
of 1889. the franchise has been for
feited.
In his enthusiasm Maclay Hoyne. as
sistant corporation counsel, wanted the
telephone company ousted immediate
ly. Mayor Dunno. however, does not
favor any move that will leave the
city without telephone service. His
principal cause for congratulation is
that the decision leaves the city in an
excellent position to acquire a munici-
pality owned telephone system I'm 2I

Mr. Hoyne held a long conference Ira

declined 1t can be said with perfect
confidence that, while many presents
which were received by the bride are
very valuable the value of the gifts
has been greatly exaggerated.
Asking Charity.
So remarkable have some of the ac-
counts of presents been. that their pub
licatio has brought to Miss Roosevelt
unfortunate annoyance. Her mail. for
many days has been flooded with let
ters. from women and men in all parts
of the country, urging her TO give to
them from her plentiful store of dup
licate gifts one thing or another. Some
of the stories OF suffering and priva-
ton they told really were pitiful, and
even in the time of her greatest happi-
ness. Miss Roosevelt was made sorrow
full by some appeals to her generosity.
OF course, she was unable to crafty
the writer's of letters. because primar-
lily. they had been misled by publica
tions which were quite inaccurate.
Has Been Threatened.
In addition to the appeals for char
ity Miss Roosevelt received as re
suit of the exaggerated reports of the
value of her presents, letters unsigned
as a rule menacing in their tone. No
actual threats We're made, but the let
ters contained sinister intimation of
future trouble. perhaps for the country,
the presentation to the dau9h-
ter of an American president of gifts
so costly as to be merely a display of
the wealth of the givers. Nobody with
OUT the circle of relatives and intimate
personal friends. have been permitted
TO view the bridal presents.

Few brides, not of so-called royal

action on the charge of robbing n street

the same morbid crowd which has

public since his return from Butte,
Mont, in custody four months ago.
When the words mot guilty were read
a shout of delight and peal of hand
clapping burst from the crowd. which
pressed forward in an effort to shake
the defendant by the hand.
Judge Sutton sprang to his feet and
denounced the outbreak as disgrace
full The judge then ordered the room

gregate they represent great sum.
but it was the spirit which animated
the givers which appealed so strongly
to Miss Roosevelt. Many presents
were accompanied by oral or written
expressions of the deep and sincere
regard in which the bride is held by
persons of all classes not only in her
own country, but throughout the world.
Many Proscribed.
Weeks ago, on behalf of their daugh-
ter, President and Mrs. Roosevelt let
it be known that certain preferred
gifts were not to be accepted. 1t was
their desire that the wedding so far as
presents were concerned, at least,
should be stripped of official character,
and the intimation was conveyed
through diplomatic charges, that it was
the desire of the president. that no
gift should be made to Miss Roosevelt
on behalf of foreign government; that
presents of such nature properly could
be received only from the executives
of governments through the ambassa-
dors or ministers accredited to the
American government.
Cuba Exception.
The only present, therefore. which it
may be said comes directly from
nation is that of Cuba. 1t was provid-

ident's delicate intimation and in the
