Abatement of Nuisance.

The Commissioners are going to put ban
on the operation Of monographs, graphic
phones and other musical instruments
which are operated so as to become a nui-
sance. Numerous complaints have been
filed with the Commissioners during the
last year about the continual operation of
these music machines in saloons, hotels,
music halls and other public places, and
even in private residences, and Commits
sioner West has had the corporation counsel
prepare an amendment to the police reg
uIations which provides that in the future
the musical instruments or things Of a sim
liar character are prohibited in all public
places, and that violators shall be subject
to the penalty Of the law.
The Commissioners say that they will be
able to get at operators of these machines
in private residences which heretofore they
have failed to do. They propose to prohibit
the music IN private dwelings IN case COM
plants against such are made by any one
individual.

Secretary Taft win Meet the Emperor

Berlin. Nov. emperor william win
see Secretary Taft at Osborne house.
Isle of Wight, during the formers visit
to England. A message conveying this
wish was sent through the German
embassy at Washington, it being IN
derstood that Mr.. Taft has finally de-
cided to return to the United States by
way of Europe. 1t is regarded as likely
that Mr.. Taft will also seek an audience
of King Edward, as for the American
to visit the German emperor on British
soil without paying equivalent respect
to the king, might be regarded as dis
courteous.
So much has been said about Mr.
Taft planning to see the emperor that
some of the other governments have
seemingly become curious in regard ~
whether anything is intended by tn
step taken by the American govern
ment. Ambassadors Brice and les
serand, 1t is asserted here, already have
made inquiries on the subject at the
state department at Washington and n
is further asserted that there is a feel

matters Of less Consequence appearing
In the record, (Which I will not take time
TO enunerate, forbid the maximum pen
atty.
Il am inclined to think that the de-
PENDANTS underlying purpose in the
transaction complained. of, was to fos-
ter on its own lines of road, any indus
try which would permanently contrib
ute to its tariff against competitors in
other localities. depending upon other
lines of transportation for access to
market. What the defendants motive
and purposes were, however, can not
he determined from anything in the
record, nor is it necessary now that this
should be done.
I am satisfied that the evidence
shows. as was distinctly and fcrcibly
stated by Mr.. Lawlor, the district at
torney. that the concessions were ir:-
tent1onally and systematically made
and 1t is hard to believe that tSe de-
fendant did not know that they were
unlawful departures from it's establish
ed tariff At all events, ignorance of tho
law under the circumstances in this
case, would imply a degree of negligence
well nigh equivalent to guilty knowl-
cage. These latter considerations will
not permit me to classify the present
case as one which calls for the lowest
penalty the law allows.
Re1ecting then. SO unsliited to the
present case, both the maximum and
the minimum penalties, I must find
somewhere between the two, such a
medium as, under all circumstances of
the case. seems to meet the require
ments, and thereupon pronounce the
sentence, which. while not unduly Sc
we're. will yet effectively serve as per-
petual warning to all persons against
