Refers It To Mir. Neill.

Oyster Bay N Y., June 16.-Presi- dent Roosevelt has referred to Charles P. Neill. commissioner of labor, with out comment the various applications which have been made to him by wire and by mail, to intervene to prevent the threatened telegraphers strike.
 The position is taken that no emer- gency exists such as obtained the time the President intervened in the anthra- cite coal strike. but on the contrary the situation presented is one where action by the government if taken at all. may properly be initiated and di- rected by the bureau of labor of which MT. Neill is the head.
 Attention is called to the fact that MT. Neill has on his own motion acted with more or less success in several recent strikes simply by making an investigation and bringing to light the salient facts in the controversies, his representations being the basis on which a settlement was later reached. Whether he feels justified in pursuing the same course in the present in- stance is not commented on here as the President has given MT. Neill no inti- nation of any kind.
 The Roosevelt pew at Christ Episco- pal Church was occupied by the Pres ident. Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Etfcl Ar chic and Quentin.
 Albert J. Beveridge, United States Senator from Indiana, reached Oyster Bay today and Is the house guest or Joseph Sears, who lives near Sagamore Hill MT. Beveridge has ,as yet, no appointment to see the President

 gram for Them,

The principal matter of interest be- fore the City Council at its regular meeting tonight will concern the city's finances and Mayor Teague's recom- mendations to the Aldermanic body oi certain ways of relieving the situation at the present time. and of putting the treasury on a self-sustaining basis by means of a greater increase in the rev enue.
 A What communication the Mayor will send relative to the adjustment at the present time, Is not known. For the past ten days. in consultation with Al derman Lobman. Chairman of the Fi- nance Committee, and other of the city fathers, he has been digging a way out of the difficulty at present confronting the city. They have not yet made Known what solution to the problem they have found, but it Is confidently expected that they have devised a method for relieving the Treasurer s embarrassment, in the matter of a lack of funds to meet the current ex- penses. The dismissal of certain of the city iaborers has had a tendency to better the condition. but which served, in the language of a city official. only as a drop in the bucket"
 Expenditures for permanent improve ments during the past few years, is
 
 present time-permanent Improvements and extraordinary expenses. In all probability the Mayor will submit to- night communication which will ask the city fathers to increase the tax rate from 1-s per cent to It's constitu- tional limit of 1-4 per cent. Present Indications point to the fact that the increase will meet with favor at the hands of the Aldermen, and will be au- fharfxaA in nrdi0anna fn that pf- feet.
 The Finance and Judiciary Commit tees of Council will not report, at the present time. on the Mayors commu- nication asking for an increase in the saloon licenses to s1,500. The matter was broached in a recent meeting of the committees. but nothing definite was settled. owing to the fact that routine matters and questions of more imperative moment demanded the so- Ions attention.
 It is not known whether or not the committees having in charge the reso- 1ution of Alderman Foster, which asks that the City Council investigate whether or not the Montgomery Trac- tion Company has been complying with the provisions under which its fran chise was given will report. The committees took the matter up last week, but so far as Is known, arrived at no conclusion.
 A matter of much interest, which will come before the Council tonight, will be tho vetoed ordinance from May or Teague, on the city's payment for uniforms of members of the police de- partment. The ordinance was passed by the city fathers at the last regular meeting, and was submitted to the Mayor during the past week. In con- formity with his policy, in regards to ordinances of similar purport, 1t is looked upon as quite certain that the measure will be vetoed, and the dis cussion that will follow upon this an- nouncement will doubtless be of long . duration and of much interest.
