VETOEs ARE OvERRULED
The vetoes overruled were as fol-
lows:
For the repair and cleaning of streets
under a 20 cent extra tax, $4,000;
district attorneys office. book keeper
1920, one assistant $2,1O0, messenger
s1.500, contingent fund, $4,000; for the
reconstruction of the Geary street road,
s720. 600.
The only point on which Tveitmoe e
asked for enlightenment was as to the
legality of the extra appropriation for
the district attorneys Office, including
$1,000 for a book keeper, $2,100 for an
assistant, $1,000 for a messenger and
So 900 for a contingent fund Gallagher
assured the board of the legality of
the extra appropriations, although the
charter did not provide for them, say
ing that the auditor could be appealed
to in order to prevent payments there
from.
with some of Schmitz' objections to the
appropriation OF s720,o00 for the Geary
street road, he would not vote to over
ride the veto.
TVEITMoE FLAYs SCHMITZ
The reasons for the veto are not
tenable," said Tveitmoe, land they are
the same old reasons heretofore ad-
vanced by those who espouse the cause
of public service corporations. AS far
as using the money for other improve
ments is concerned it would not be a
drop in the bucket, and we must have
a new bond election for that purpose.
We want the Geary street road built
as soon as possible"
Gallagher explained that a smaller
appropriation would have been impos-
sible, as the officials of the road had
refused to consider the leasing of the
roadbed to the city.
The board then voted unanimously
that the entire budget for 1907-1s0S,
calling for a total expenditure OF
IS, 636, 700. be finally passed, despite the
objections of the mayor.
GALLAGHER EXPLAINS ACTION
I'VE have acted under one provision
OF the charter, requiring the budget to
be acted upon on or before the last
Monday in June said Gallagher
There is another provision requiring
the mayors vetoes to be acted upon
not less tnan nVe DAYS nor more than
90 days after their receipt. The veto
message will be ordered spread on the
minutes and will be again considered
next Monday
The board deems this action neces-
sary as a precautionary measure, as
we have received notice that technical
assaults will be made on the intention
of the city to build the Geary street
road, and we think IT wise to allow no
loophole that might interfere with the
proposition

Acting Mayor Gallagher. recom-
mended to the board that an additional
assistant and messenger be appointed
IN the district attorneys Office at a
yearly salary of $4,000 and $1,000, re-
spectively, and an ordinance to that
effect was passed to print
In his communication Gallagher
stated that upon investigation he had
found that the additional employees
were necessary to properly conduct the
increased work entailed in the district
iaftorney's office. The anpronria ions

nett and Oliver testified that IL lnd1ct-
ments were voted by the grand jury
on March 81. All were drawn up by
the district attorney and signed by the
foreman after being read TO the jury.
Oliver returned nine of the true bills
into Judge Coffey's court two days
after they were voted. The remaining
two indictments against Glass were
not returned to the counrt until May
"a. Oliver said they had been kept in
the grand jury's safe deposit box, but
that one of them had been returned
to the district attorney for correction.
He could not remember whether it was
the indictment naming Furey or San
derson as the recipient of the bribe
Glass was charged with having given;
nor could he remember whether the
correction consisted of interlineations
or the preparation of an entirely new
paper.
WILL CONSULT THE RECORDS
Heney renewed his offer of stipula-
ton as to the facts in the case, but
Coogan declined to hear him and oliver
requested the courts permission to con-
suit the records to refresh his memory.
If any of his statements do not conform
to the records, he will return to court
today to correct them.
From Burnett the defense elected
Jurors Levingston and Young. who
had sworn that they did not participate
In the deliberations leading to the in
dictments against Calhoun, Mutually,
Ford and Abbott
Young did participate in the delib-
erations on the Glass indictment, but
Levingston took no part in the bribery
cases.
The defense put Roy Gallagher, Off :
cial stenographer, on the stand, an
nouncing that it intended to prove that
there had been no order for the return
of divers name to the small jury box,
but that, in fact, it had been put back
at the suggestion of Assistant District
Attorneys Heney and Harrison. The
court told Moore that if he attempted
to depart from the records for that pur-
pose the court would open up the whole
subject, which meant that the prosecu-
tion would be permitted to put in pa
role evidence explaining the absence OF
orders from the minutes Moore prompt
ly and vehemently announced that in
view of the courts attitude he would
refrain from going into the subject at
ALL
SCHMITZ IN COURT
Schmitz, who is interested in the mo-
tions to set aside, was In court through
out the morning session. He was per-
and carly in the afternoon was excused
for the day, The court directed the
sheriff to take the defendant to his at
torney's office ION the way to the coun-
ty Jail"
Both sides have announced that they
will have all their testimony in this
afternoon, and if the court can narrow
the compass of the motion down to the
mere drawing of the names of the
grand jurors the arguments may be
completed and the motion taken under
consideration by Thursday. If the
records Of Judge Graham's court must
be amended before the motion can be
passed upon there will be delay of
several weeks.
Ruef. accompanied by Attorney
George Keane, came into court after
the other defendants had left. He fled
motions to set aside the indictments
against him in connection with the
trolley bribery and was granted a con-
| tinuance for answer in the gas cases
until Thursday.

Great Work to be Accomplished.

1t is evident there will be something
doing along the Allegheny river in the
near future, according to the following
dispatch from Harrisburg under date of
March ID, and municipalities will have
to get up and dust themselves II they
would avoid trouble with the State health
department. The dispatch reads:
The work of purifying the Allegheny
river from the Pittsbusg water intake at
Brilliant to the New York state line has
been started by Health Commissioner
Dixon. This week he sent out corps Of
inspectors from the engineering division
of The department. Its first work will be
in the vicinity of Pittsburg.
The towns of Springdale, 0akmont,
Verona, Nstrona, Tarentum, Kensington.
Psrnassns, Arnold, Freeport, Ford City,
Kittanning, Parker, Foxburg, Emlenton,
Franklin, Oil City, Tionests, Tidioute,
Warren and others will be ultimately
forced to erect sewage purificstion plants.
The Allegheny county workhouse and
the Allegheny City home will also be in
cluded. Concerning the work to be done
this statement was given the Gazette
Times by the department:
about l40 municipalities are now dis
charging their sewage into the Allegheny
river, and Pittsburg is today a typhoid
stricken city, while each of the other mu-
Municipalities suffers from the typhoid
poison that is being put into the river by
its upstream neighbors and is in turn
polluting the stream for its downstream
neighbors with the same deadly disease
germs. To have all these cities aud bor-
oughs discontin the discharge of raw
sewage into the river and provide for the
building of sewage disposal works is the
goal toward which Health Commissioner
Dixon will push steadily forward. This
cannot be done in night, but 1t will be
accomplished, because, instead of courting
defeat by radical and oppressive meas
ures, Health Commissioner Dixon is pur-
suing a conservative, but steadily pro-
gressive policy. Every municipality in
tne Allegheny watershed cannot De com-
PEELED tomorrow to erect sewage purifica-
ton plants, but every one of them must
move toward the ultimate redemption of
their people from the scourge of typhoid
fever that comes from a polluted water
supply,
"The force of the state inspectors now
on the Allegheny watershed will lay be-
fore the health commissioners all the
sources of pollution, giving him the in
formation that will enable him to advise
with the municipalities as to the most
practical, efficient and economical meth
DDS of sanitary sewage disposal. 1t will
be one of the most important works that
has ever been undertaken for the protec-
ton of the health of the people"

The NameleSs Grave.

Recently the Pittsburg Dispatch gave
an account of an impressive memorial
service held in that city by members Of
the high school at which bronze tablet
was unveiled containing the names of the
high school boys who were killed in the
Civil war. One of the young ladies re-
cited poem, "Tbe Nsmeless Grave"
written by George W. Dithridge, former
citizen of Tionesta, in memory of his
brother, William G. Dithridge, who was
killed in battle and buried in an unknown
grave. This poem has been preserved
for a number of years by Mrs. j. A.
Small, of Nebraska, in her scrap book,
an she sends it to the REPUBLICAN for
reproduction. and we are sure many of
our readers who remember Mr.. Dith-
ridge will be glad of the privilege of Pc
rusing il at this time:
THE NAMELEss GRAVE.
Dedicated to the Memory Of William c. Dhridses Fifth Reg
ment Excelsior Brigade
The low wind sighs DER a Southern plain,
That once was strewn with the battle slain;
And the moist earth drinks the falling rain,
That once was wet with a blood-red stain.
Dark lowering clouds the heavens o'erspread,
Whence the battle smoke has long since fed;
And where voiceless lay the fallen dead
nameless grave is seen instead
Through the leafess woods the low winds creep,
AS a sobbing moan from the loved who weep;
And with aching hearts their vigils keep
For one in naneless grave asleep.
The withered grass meath the falling rain
Der the grave bends low like ripened grain;
But weary hearts though bowed with pain
His nameless grave shall seek in vain.
In forest wild and meadow green
May be many a lowly hillock seen;
A patriot heart from the tempest keen
Each nameless grave for aye shall screen.
Meath this low mound lies one who gave
A life to God-the right to save
Too noble thou to live slave
Thou fillest now a nameless grave.
Slumber, loved one sweetly sleep:
Thou art at rest-the living weep;
Green thy memory here we'll keep,
For we on earth thy life-fruits reap.
Rest thee, dear onel Not in vain
Hath thy lfe-star set in pain;
For thou the holy place shall gain
The noble dead alone attain.
On wings triumphant from the tomb
Rise, patriot spirit This thy doom:
"Enshrined for aye in vernal bloom,
A nations heart shall be thy tomb"

MAX WEST, writing in the American
Monthly Review of Reviews for March,
says: "Far-reaching and important as
are the activities of the Interior Depart
ment in various directions. it is in the
administration of the public domain that
Secretary Hitchcock has rendered his
most conspicuous service to the country.
The rigid enforcement of the laws enact
ed for the protection of the public lands
has been the cardinal principle of his ad-
ministration, and has earned for him the
honorable title of arch enemy of grafters
and land-grabbers.' The stubborn re-
sistance to every kind of scheme for the
enrichment of individuals at the expense
of the public domain or of the Indians,
which has made the Secretary unpopular
in some parts of the west, has been pre-
cisely what was most needed to put the
administration of the public lands on
thoroughly businesslike basis, so far as
permitted by the existing land laws"
