Attention OF the Fathers at
Their Regular Session.
The regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday afternoon was an
important one, and a number of
matters of public interest engaged
the attention of the body.
The town tax rate, as had been
forecasted in The News, was fixed
at $40 on the thousand, the same as
it has been the past several years.
The committee appointed to pro-
vide place for storing oil, etc, at
the waterworks station reported
that they had purchased from Mr..
c. H. Peddy a house on an adjoin-
ing lot for 1876, and their action
was ratified by the council. Alder
man Petty, who was member OF
the committee, stated that he opposed
the purchase of the house and lot
for the reason that arrangements
could be made for storage room
at a much less cost, and he thought
it would be good Judgment on the
part of the city to rent the prop
erty. No action was taken on the
alderman's suggestion.
The chairman of the light COM
mittee stated that Mr. w. w. Col
lier had been employed as engineer
at the light plant at $4,000 month,
succeeding Mr. Matthews, who re-
signed to remove to Macon.
The city clerk was authorized to
make a settlement with Attorney j..
A. Laing for services rendered in
connection with the waterworks liti-
CATION and the valuation of the
three sets of bonds Issued by the city.
The sum of $500 is the amount the
council authorized to be paid him.
The city tax assessors, Messrs. X.
r. Marlin, j. A. Horsley and G. S.
Crowell, were paid $500 each for
their services.
The Dawson Ice Co. was given a
special rate of cents per 1000
gallons of water used at their plant
from the city's supply This rate
will continue until the company can
get it's we'll in condition to be used.
A motion was adopted that all wa
ter customers using mOter power be
given a rate of 10 cents per 1000
gallons from October 1 to Jan. l,
a minimum of $4,000 per year, the
meter rent to be of force, and the
10 cents rate not to apply unless the
amount used exceeds the minimum
price of $3.50"
The oil mills, variety works and
other plants or special hazard in
the city were given permission to
install private fire protection by
connecting with the city's water
mains without expense to the city,
and putting in fire hydrants to be
used for fire purposes only, a penal
ty to be imposed for using water for
other purposes.

PLUNGED THROUGH WINDOW
EN- ROUTE FROM SWITZERLAND

ST. PETERSBURG, August 17.-Belen-
zoff. the leader of the band which pill
LACED the Credit Mutual Bank Of Moscow,
daringly escaped while on his way to Mos
cow from Switzerland. whence he had
been extradited He was on board a train,
heavily guarded, and when near Paxov
dove through the glass of a window, gained
the forest and eluded pursuit.
Belenzoff left Warsaw in a special car
attached to a fast train, in charge of n
captain Of gendarmerie. four gendarmes
and six soldiers, two of whom were always
sitting on the same seat as Belenzoff and
carried loaded rifles. Suddenly, as the
train slackened speed at an upgrade, Belen-
zof rose and hurled himself bodily through
the glass of window. rolled down the
embankment and disappeared in the woods.
The train was Immediately stopped and
the guards followed Belenzoff's bloody trail
for some distance but finally it was lost
In a swamp.
Extraordinary precautions had been taken
through Poland, owing to fear of a forcible
rescue of Belenzoff. The platforms at all
the places where the train stopped were
cleared.
Belenzoff's attorneys fought his extradi-
ton on the ground that bank robbery in
Russia was a political crime. Even after
the Russian government had produced evil
dence showing that the revolutionary con-
gress held in Finland was opposed to such
methods, the attorneys of the prisoner
maintained that an organized minority of
the party had not acquiesced to this action
ana they We're granted stay of several
weeks by the Swiss courts so as to enabl
counsel to produce evidence to support
their claim.

A BLOW At FREELUNCH
Startling Revelations by Chi
cago Food inspector.
DECAYED PORK AND BEEF
Converted Into Material for the
Saloon Bars.
BARN EQUIPPED FOR THE WORK
Warehouse With $4,000 Pounds Of
Meat Unfit for Use-Men Arrest
ed, Plant Conhscated.
BARN EQUIPPED FOR THE WORK

CHICAGO, August 17.-That the free
lunch served in hundreds of saloons in Chi
cago is largely composed Of meat in con-
dition absolutely unfit for use was discov-
cred yesterday by Food Inspector Murray
when his force of assistants raided a barn
at 124 Illinois street owned by William
Davidson.
The place contained thirty stoves over
which six men were working in an endeavor
to prepare decayed pork and beef into a
semblance Of it's original form and there
after manufacture it into free lunch for
the saloon trade.
The men working in the awful stencil Of
the place were arrested on warrants sworn
out by Inspector Murray, and with David
son are accused of violating the health ordi-
nances of the city.
The raid Of the Illinois street barn fol-
lowed an inspection of cold storage ware
house.
The warehouse Is a public one and In 1t
the inspector found $4,000 pounds of meat
for use. A search Of the books Of the COM
pany showed that this meat was the prop
erty of Davidson.
In addition to the equipment at the barn
for converting unstable meat into cuts
from supposedly good roasts, the inspectors
found plant for the manufacture of sau-
sage of different kinds and other articles
of food which usually adorn the free lunch
counters in cheap or middle-class saloons.
The entire plant was confiscated and will
be used as evidence against Davidson and
his assistants in Justice Gibbons court to-
day.

NATIONAL BANK FAILURE.
Bushes Community Of Chelsea, Mass,
Is Shocked.


BOSTON, August 1.-THE business COM
munity Of Chelsea was surprised when it
became known that the First National
Bank of that city, one Of the Oldest finan-
cal institutions in this section of the state,
had been closed and Bank Examiner Alfred
Ever placed in charge. Many of the small
tradesmen had practically all of their ready
money tied up in the bank, but 1t Is ex-
pected that relief will be afforded by the
Winnisimmet National Bank of Chelsea,
which has offered to pay to depositors Of
the First National so per cent of their ac-
counts. The remaining banks in Chelsea
have but a few thousand dollars to their
credit at the First National and will not be
directly affected by the difficulty.
During the morning throngs of depositors
appeared at the bank. There was no disor-
der, however. 1t is said that the difficulty
at the bank was brought about by a steady
transfer of large accounts to Boston banks,
and the Chelsea bank was thereby ham
pered for ready money.
1t has been learned also that the First
National was heavily involved in real estate
which tied up their money to the extent Of
about 100000
The failure Of the First National was re-
sponsible for small runs on the Chelsea
Savings and Cooperative Provident banks
this morning.
President Hinckley of the bank is serious
ly Ill. and it is said he cannot recover.
Bank Examiner Ever refused to discuss
the banks affairs to make any state
ment regarding the dispatch from Wash
ington saying that the banks failure was
reported due to excessive loans to its Off
GERS and directors. Any reports on his dis
coveries at the institution, he said, would
be made to the controller of the currency
at Washington.

WILDER ESTATE LITIGATION.
st. Paul Court Decided Against Ap-
pellant on All Points,

pellant on All Points.
ST. PAUL, August 17.-Judge Hallam In
the Ramsey county district court today de-
cided that the ante-nuptial agreement made
between DR.. E. w. Appleby and Cornelia
Day Wilder is valid. The court also held
that DR.. Appleby was not entitled to pos
session of the Wilder mansion on Summit
avenue and that he was not entitled to the
5000 a year for the maintenance Of the
Wilder home.
The ante-nuptial agreement provides that
Dr. Appleby should draw from the estate
Of Mrs. Appleby annually $4,000. providing
he did not marry again.
The estate of Mrs. Appleby is valued at
$S5O,OOO and is part of what is known as
the Wilder charity, which by the wills of
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilder and Mrs. Appleby,
their daughter, all deceased, was left to the
worthy poor of st. Paul. The entire estate
amounts to $2,000,OO0. DR.. Appleby sought
to have the ante-nuptial agreement declared
void: that the charitable bequest in his
wife's will was void and that the Wilder
home with fund of $1,000 year for it's
maintenance was rightfully his, whether he
lived in the home or not.
The probate court decided adversely to
DR.. Appleby on all these points and an ap-
peal was taken to the district court, which
today decided with the probate court.

PUZZLED OVER A WORD.
Nobody Seems to Know What sValorl-
zation" Of Coffee Means.

"valorization'' of coffee. What does It
mean? If you know you know more than
any one in the government service in wash
ington and two firms of dictionary people
combined. Probably the exact meaning Of
the term will be ascertained shortly, but at
present this country seems to be In the
dark.
For some time there has been a bill be-
fore the Brazilian congress for the valori-
zation of coffee. and Ambassador Griscom
has notified the State Department that on
August 8 the president of Brazil approved
the act and that it became effective on and
after that date.
Now this may be a momentous decision
for the Brazilian people. but it apparently
had no very thrilling interest for America
till Star reporter. more or less in idle
curiosity, inquired what 1t meant. Then 1t
developed that there was apparently no one
in Washington who did know what 1t
meant. At the Department of Agriculture
the inquiry was started in the Secretary's
Office. No one there knew, and the coffee
expert, Mr. Cook, was called up on the
telephone. He may know, but he was out
of town at the time, and the next expert in
the department had to confess that he did
not understand the term. Recourse was
had to the dictionary, but there was no
consulted.
1t happened that Mr.. Murray was the
acting Secretary of Commerce and Labor
for the time being, and he was consulted,
as the statement about Brazilian coffee
came directly in his department. But he
had to confess that the word had puzzled
him and he wanted light on 1t himself. So
he turned to the telephone and called up
Major Carson, who issues the daily consul
lar bulletins, where the announcement OF
this momentous decree was first made pub
lie. The major did not like to confess It.
but after beating about the bush a little
came into the open and admitted that al
though the term had something to do with
the export tax and the internal coree
bounty, he was not altogether certain what
it was. Then he confessed that two pub
fishers of dictionaries had come down on
the bureau for an explanation Of the word,
and the bureau was trying to look it UP for
them.
So there you are. If any one is familiar
with the coffee business and BraziPs ex-
port laws, he can come to the center and
furnish an explanation. But the chances
seem to be that the word will have to await
fuller details from Ambassador Griscom or
some of the consuls in South America
