DOUGLAS WIlL SPEND
 sl3,000 FOR SEWERS
Council Proposes to Use Sur plus Funds In This
 Manner.

DOUGLAS, June 6.-(SpeeiaL)--
 Save the passage of an ordinance prohibiting the use of fireworks on the streets and alleys of the city and of another ordinance establishing To- cal speed law, together with the ex- pose of a small matter of alleged graft upon the par. of an officer. no thing that had a tendency to send a thrill through one was recorded a the regular monthly session or the city council, held at the city hall last night.
 One matter of general interest was the decision of the city council to use the surplus sewer funds available, or about Si3,000, in extending the sewer system into the Claw-on addition. IL was pointed out by Mayor Adamson that the surplus money is available solely for sewer purposes and that if 1t could be arranged with the present contractors 10 hGrdle the Clawson ex tension of the system, as part Of the contract they now have with the city, 1t would be 8 desirable arrange ment ali around. The sewer machine ry is now in Douglas, pipe could be ordered in time for the work to go right ahead and it was the mayors opinion that some such arrangement should be made if po-sible.
 City Attorney Lockwood informed the council that the McQuatters com pany. In his opinion, would construe the proposed extension as part of their original contract with the city and that the arrangement could be made without difficulty. The city clerk was instructed to take the matter up with the McQuatters company.

PROPOSED NEW CHARTER
 GOVERNMENT EXPLAINED

(Doagias InternationalAmerican.)
 The system of government advanced in the proposed charter which the people of Douglas will vote upon Friday Is known generally as the com mission form.
 And what is the commission form?
 It means the concen,ras.on Of power and it also means the concentration of responsibility. 1t is the latter which those upon whum II IS imposed cannot escape in reckoning with the rublic, that Is the secret of its effec. tivensss.
 This form of government originated when Galveston was stricken by its great disaster a few years ago. 4 commission was created as a tenn porary arrangement, put Fl those dark days it was found that the plan worked so well that it was decided to continue it. It has been tried by scores of other cities since and every where has given perfect satisfaction.
 It was in line with the present day tendency to eliminate so much politics and get better results.
 It Is nothing more than a plain business management, the same as the board of directors of a corpora ton. The stockholders elect the di- rectors to look after the management of their corporation. They impose upon them all responsibility for that management and the directors usually have certain definite responsibilities.
 With a limited number of aldermen under this system of government, it is the same principle. To each of them is assigned a certain specific work for which he is directly responsible to the city and the public. With more aD- pointive officers better results can un' occasionally follow. for while an elec' tive officer will creep into an admin istration who is either =eg=:gent, care less or incapable, with that position an appointive one the board or com mission is directly responsible for him and If he is not efficient can re. move him. When a person :s Tespon- sibIe to an individual superior better results may be expected from him than if he considers himself respon- sible to everyone in general and nc one in particular. That is the fine point of the limited elective system It puts the city purely on a business basis and brings from everyone con nected with the administration his best efforts.

BERESFORD SAID ID HAVE WIFE
 IN CANADA
Minister Writes to Fl Paso Saying That the English
 Lord Married Ontario Girl
 Years Ago, Who Still Lives,

EL PASO, June 6.-Was Lord Del aYel Beresford married in Canada many years ago and did he desert his wife and leave her all these years in her Ontario home Is the question that will probably agitate the attor- lneys who are settling up the estate of Beresford and his heirs and rcla- tiyes in Great Britian.
 The first intimation that Delavel Beresford might have been married in Canada a great many years ago when he was young man and when he first came to that country from England came in letter in which a minister makes the statement that he knows of his own knowledge that such a marriage took place and he is seek. ing the address of the attorneys Tor BerestUrd ih the interests of the wo- man he declared Delavel Bcresford married.
 The letter follows:
 Port Rowan. Ontario. Canada.
 June 1, 1907. The Editor of The Times, Fl Paso, Texas.
 Dear sir: I have just seen in the newspapers the statement that a ne gross in Fl Paso has signed away her claim which she set mp as the wife of Lord Delayel Beresford. I write to inform you that Lord Beresfurd mar ried an ontario giri when he first came to this country, who is still liy- ing.
 If you can send me a copy of your paper with the facts and the name and 1Ad zF torneys you will confer a favor on his heart-broken widow, who has not beard from her husband for many years Yours sincerely,
 REV. J. NJ. SMITH.
 This letter was shown to a close friend of the deceased Beresford, and the former stated that he was satisfied that there was no foundation in the statement that Delavel Beresford had married early in life.
 It is said that a man who married the niece of Delayel Beresford is in Fl Paso and an effort was made to see him, but he could not be found by a reporter, although a man who knows him we'll assisted in the search.
 As a result of the story to the ef- feet that DelayeI Beresford had mar ried in Canada, news has just been given out that at the time of his death Delavel Beresford was engaged to a young lady, whose residence is not given in the story which comes from his friend. It is declared by this friend that he had a number of times been shown the photograph of the fiancee of the deceased British lord and the preparations for the nuptial were going forward when Delavel Baresford was killed in the railroad wreck in North Dakota.

cape From Letter
Writing Plot.

Massillon, o., June ia plot form
ed by two women TO ruin the reputa'
ton Of Mayor Charles l.. FTantz ha'
just been frustrated by the confess
sion of Teresa Meyers, fifteen years
old. After the girl had confessed that
she had taken part In the plot, she
repudiated the story as far as II re-
lated TO the two women. and deClar-
ed that she herself was responsible
for the whole scheme.
On account Of this reputation by
the girl the women were not arrest
ed, but the mayor had the papers all
made out ready TO serve upon them.
The girl said at first that the women
had arranged the Dlot to bring dis
credit upon the mayor out Of revenge
because their two sons had been ar
rested on minor charges recently.
The mayor is a bachelor about forty.
five years old. He is serving his first
term as mayor.
The other day a negro woman who
keeps a disorderly house found let
tiers put under her door. The name
OF the mayor was signed to them. She
did not understand the letters and
took them to the mayor and asked
him what they meant.
When the mayor read them he pro-
nounced them all forgeries and saw at
once that plot had been arranged

The Meyers girl said that the scheme
was TO get her into the disreputable
house when the two women were 10

forged letter was to be found upon her
person In which the mayor was TO ap-
pear to be in league with, keepers OF
disreputable houses to furnish young
girls as inmates OF their places
One of the letters put under the door
and found by the negro keeper OF the
disorderly house. told the woman that
the crusade against disorderly houses
was only blum and told her 10 keep
on doing business; that she would not
be mOlested.
Another letter said that If the keep
er OF the house wanted fifteen-year-
old girl for toe dancer she was TO
arrange the curtain one one OF the
front windows In a certain way and
the girl, when passing, would know
what ii meant and would go in.
This was TO be the scheme to get the
girl into the house. when the two
women were TO come in and find the
letter upon her.
When the negro woman brought the
letters 10 the mayor he at once start
cd an investigation, which resulted in
the apprehension OF the girl, who con-
fessed the whole plot.

CRISIS REACHED.
EXECUTIVE BOARD OF
COMMERCIAL
TeIegrapherS Union De-
eide TO Strike.
The Matter is Left in the
Hands of President
Small--Ten Days
Grace.

New York, June 19.-The executive
committee of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers Union of America, b rought
the dispute between the telegraphers
and the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies oa crisis today
by passing resolution approving the
calling of strike against either OF
the companies or both. The matter
of ordering the strike has been left
absolutely in the hands OF President
Small Of the Union. The strike will
be called in a week or ten days, but
the committee does not want at pres
ent TO indicate where it will be. lest
the company or companies would be
forewarned and be prepared for 1t.
The strike will be ordered in one
town at time so that the rest of the
telegraphers can pay the strike as
sessment regularly. In case the strike
has not the desired effect It is to be
extended to other cities II was stat
ed on behalf of the executive COM
mittee that II took the action IL did
because the companies had evidently
decided not to pay any attention TO
appeals or communications, and IL was
a question OF strike or back down.
The telegraphers will now go on with
the strike program. The official an
nouncement of the action OF the ex-
ecutiye committee which was given
out today was as follows:
"The general executive board OF
the Commercial Telegraphers' union
has approved n strike against either
or both the Postal and Western I'm
ion Telegraph companies and the mat
ter is now in the hands Of President
Small. when or where the first strike
win be declared will not be given out
at this time But II will take place in
the next week or ten days. The plans
for the campaign have been laid and
the men are ready for the strug-
GLE" -......
A little later a supplementary state
ment was made by Deputy President
Konenkamp in which he said:
I'VE regret that this step was made
necessary by the attitude of both COM
panios, in not only ignoring the me-
MORALS presented by President Small.
but their refusal 10 deal with a com

such large corporations as the West |

should maintain their present attitude
shows that there is the lack Of the
cooperation between employer and |

demand. The excuse given by the
Western Union company for its un-

tive committee OF the union was that
no member Of the committee is an

ainly true, because II an employe OF
