SESSION OF COUNCIL
FISHING IN CITY LAKE PROHIBIT
ED-THE BOND ISSUE DIS.
CUSSED.

So rs to prevent any possible con
tamivition OF the city water, the
council at its special session yester
day afternoon passed a resolution tC
prohibit all fishing. and picnicing
within the limits of the city lake. OF
anywhere near its banks.
Considerable complaint has been
made to the water works committee
and to superintendent Brodnax that
people who were in the habit of fish.
ing at the lake had been leaving their
bait, consisting OF pieces OF meat
to rot on the bank, and that horses
were being hitched too near the lake
The complaint led TO an investigation
on the part OF Mr.. Broadnax, and
found to be true, so as to prevent any
contamination 1t was decided to stop
fishing at the lake for the present sea
son at least.
Superintendent BroadnaX was also
authorized to have constructed a
water trough for the use of the public
at some centrally located point, and II

OF issuing bonds to have the same re-

BUT IMPOSE FINES FOR NON
WEED CUTTING.

Immediately after the meeting of
the city council yesterday afternoon,
a conference of the sanitary commit
tee and the city physician was held
and the subject of weed cutting
campaign was discussed, 1t was de-
cided that sufficient notice had been
given the property owners OF the city
to cut the weeds from their lots and
have them carted off, and hereafter
instead of notice being sent to the
owner of the property a warrant will
be served on the owner or owners OF
lots and heavy fine imposed
The committee also decided to have
chief OF police detail one of the force
TO be under tho control of the city
physician so as 10 have a thorough in
spection made of all the lots in the
city and the law enforced.
The cutting Of the weeds will not
be all that will be necessary to Keep
the property owner from paying the
fine, but the cutting OF the weeds and
having them carted off outside of the
city limits will be sufficient

SITUATION HAS
BEEN CLEARED

The following is an extract from a
circular on the financial situation sent
out by Middendorf Williams & Co., OF
Baltimore, who were closely conect-
ed with John Shelton Williams's con-
troll of the Seaboard:
No one ever fears what he can see
clearly before him; it is the unseen
the mysterious which causes trem-
ulousness, in the same way the great
public should have little fear now
that evil and corruption has been
uncovered and brought to light Many
persons are dubious now about life
insurance because of the startling dis
closures of a few years back; but
the snake was not only scotched but
killed and there is no just cause for
hesitancy now; the time to hesitate
was before the evil was rooted out
and buried in a dishonored grave, not
after
And the same should hold true OF
the whole railway, corporate and
banking fundamentally the in
terests of investors, stockholders and
bondholders, of the community al
large, are safer now that the worst is
known about rebates and discrimina-
tions, about secret corrupt practices,
about Standard Oil, about Hartman
about Morse and Heinze, even if there
is a worst" to know, surely the in
terests of the country are better safe
guarded because of the activities of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the various State Commissions
than before the various disclosures of
the last year or so or the creation of
the broader Interstate tribunal.
Certainly this much is true: the
situation is just so much clearer, so
much freer from any suspicion or
faint in proportion to the wrongdoing
or wrong thinking uncovered and
placed in the limelight even if not
punished; for few men will venture
to do in the open market place what
they dare do in secret hiding places.
Every weak spot that is discovered
and strengthened adds just so much
to the underlying strength of the
whole business, commercial, industrial
and financial structure and in proper
ton to the number of wrongdoers
brought to justice, public confidence
should be the more thorough IS

SUFFERING HUSBAND
ASKS COURTS HELP
Wife Invests Earnings for
Herself

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Nov. l.
CSpeciaD-A striking example of
who's Who in Our House." or the
fatal mistake of man entering into
matrimonial relations with a woman
twice his size, possessed of the Get
Rich Quick fever, was revealed yes
terday when Joseph Shaffer invoked
the aid of the law to restore to him
his hard-earned coin, the fruits OF
many years labor, which he alleges
his wife, Milly, has appropriated.
Shaffer claims he has been an 'easy
mark" for his better half since he
married her in 1884.
Undoubtedly Mrs. Shaffer is a
shrewd investor She is also a
stakeholder in a number of building
associations.
When the Skaters started out in
life together, Joseph owned a candy
store at II South Mary Street and
had several hundred dollars in cash.
Milly Shaffer says, had nothing but
her clothes. Five years after their
marriage, Mrs. Shaffer's financial in
stinct asserted itself and backed up
by her superior physical ability she
backed him under the sink with the
rest of the pipes.
She wanted everything, he said, and
she got it. She forced Shaffer to sell
out the candy store and go into the
grocery business and later into wall
paper hanging. In all these ventures
she made money which she collected
and invested to suit herself.
Now Shaffer, after twenty-five years
of submission, has awakened. He
asks the Court to enjoin his wife from
collecting rents and the lessees of
different properties from paying any
rent to her and to direct her to
transfer the titles of properties to
him together with all the shares of
building association stock in her
name.
