Grant in his time; that is, 81 have
never been known to make speech
of more than two sentences in length"
But there are just few things that /
want to refer to before we take up
the license question. l would like for
the saloon men to know about where
stand before they pay for their H.
censes. First, the part of the Slocum
law referring to minors lettering in
and around the saloons will be adhered
to, also gambling in and out of sa-
looms can not be countenanced, neither
will women of bad repute be permit
ted to enter them. Those saloons hav-
ing partitions in, with swinging doors,
cutting off the bar from the street,
| must be removed at once, and at the
hour of closing Saturday nights, all
screens, curtains and window decora-
| tons are to be removed, so that the
bar is in full view of the street and
remain so until the hour of opening
Monday morning.
| The law referring to the sale or Civ
ing away of liquor on Sunday will be
strictly looked after, and | want to
say that this will apply to the drug
stores as well as to the saloons. and
right here also | want to say the or
dinances regulating drug stores on the
sale or giving away of liquors will be
enforced. | want to impress on your
minds that our ordinances controlling
and regulating the actions of our po-
lice will be looked after and followed
out to the letter, for | feel the success
or failure of our administration de-
ponds very largely upon the efficiency
of our police force, and further, that
we cannot afford to be stingy in the
Expenditure of a few dollars which
will enable them to become more pro-
ficient in looking after and protecting
our interests. The good name of our
city is being besmirched too much for
the good feeling of all of us who call
it home, and if we can do anything
to help it out of the mud, 1t is our un-
alloyed duty to put our shoulders to
the wheel and push with all our might.

 Young Klein was ushered into the draw ing room, where Mrs. Blitstein's young est daughter. Ada, was giving a piano solo. The eyes Of Klein glittered strange ly as he walked to the center of the floor without any preamble, and drawing two revolvers, said again:
 ''I am messenger of death. All wealthy people should die" He aimed at his aunt as he spoke, fired shot from one of the revolvers The bullet entered her right arm and before she could even cry out, he fired again. the ball this time en- tering her abdomen.
 Screaming in agony, the woman fell, while Klein again repeated that "aIl wealthy people should die,' fired at Mrs. Bessie Lepidus, sister of Mrs. Bill stein, and she, too, fell to the floor with a bullet in her breast. A second bullet entered her right arm as she fell.
 Then he fired at his cousin. Dora Bit stein, but missed. She fled from the room with other panic-stricken guests, and in- side of a minute all but the two women on the floor had fled from the house, leav- ing Klein still holding his smoking weap- on. He had fired the one in his right hand only, and after Joking a moment at his victims, he walked from the house carelessly, swinging his revolvers.
 The guests, at a safe distance, watched him go, and then returned to summon aid for the two women. They were taken to the German hospital where it was said they had a slight chance of recovery.
 Klein walked along to Broadway, swinging his weapons. There he was in- tercepted by Policeman Fritz, who locked him up after disarming him.

 For Aerial NaUigdfiOf1

Paris, October 20.-A new principle for aerial navigation with 'heavier- -than-air' machines has been employed in some re- cent experiments and gives promise of large results. Instead of using planes on the box kite principle driven by a vertical propeller, as is the case in the aeroplanes of Santos Dumont and other eXperimenters up to this time, rotary hol.- izontal planes are used. In other words, the Gyroseopic principle is employed and the machine is called the "Gyroplane
