GARBAGE LAW
AGAIN VETOED
Mayor Thompson Says City Can
not Afford Extra Expense
At This Time.

Mayor Thompson today vetoed the
garbage ordinance as amended and
passed by the city council Monday
night. This is the second time the
ordinance has been vetoed and 1t VIII
probably never be resurrected again.
Owing to the fact that the ordinance
will require the garbage men to go in
side the property line after the garbage
the mayor is of the opinion that 1t
will require double the number OF
teams In the health department and
will increase the cost of the depart
ment 100 per cent. which, he says, the
city cannot afford at this time. Hence
he has disapproved of the ordinance
and it will no doubt be killed. as there
are not the necessary ten votes in favor
of 1t as amended to pass 1t over his
veto,

CARTHUslAN MONKS.
Lose In Suit TO Restrain Use OF De-
scription of "Chartreusc."

London, Aug. 1.---After long litigation
the high court OF Justice has delivered
n Judgment in the action of the Garth
usian monks to restrain the use of thu
descriptio "Chartreuse" In the sale of
liquors In England by the French gov
eminent, sequestrator of the Carthus-
ian property from which the Carthusian
monks were expelled In 1903.
Justice Matthew Joyce In delivering
the opinion of the court, said that after
the expulsion the sequestrator became
entitled TO the business of LeGrand
Chartreuse and the business now con-
Quoted by the monks at Tarrasona,
Spain, was not legally the old Chart
reuse business. The defendant had not
made any untrue representations con-
corning the liquors he manufactured
and tho monks action was therefore
dismissed with costs.

AFTER RALEIGH'S HEAD.
One of the principal changes now
being talked of among the "Ameri-
cans" pertains to the detective de-
partment OF which George Raleigh.
the silent" is captain. One OF tho
American" party leaders stated last
evening that there is feeling that
Raleigh must go. and that his sum-
mary removal In the near future need
not occasion any surprise.
BURBIDdE'S CHANCES.
That an effort viii be made to re-
move Capt Burbidge there is no doubt
but that 1t will fail Is almost an alb
solute certainty. 1t is admitted on all
SIDES that Burbidge is most valu~
able man in the position; that he at
tends to his own business; that he is
energetic and conscientious in the
discharge of his official duties; that
he is competent in every respect and
does not dabble in politics.
BECAUSE HE is A MORMON.
But there is one thing against him,
in the minds of certain american"
1t was admitted by prominent
american" this morning that Frank
l. Seifert, city committeeman and
manager of the party organ, wants
to remove the popular captain. This
Is because, he said, the captain is a
Mormon and for no other reason on
earth. But il can be safely predicted,
he. says, that any attempt to remove
him will meet with failure. There is
enough trouble within the party ranks
at the present time without increasing
it.
MAYOR WON'T APPOINT.

chief: 1t is reported on good author
ity that Mayor Thompson will not ap&
point a successor to Sheets. What his
reasons are for refusing to do so he
alone knows. Ii he remains in the city
Capt Burbidge will be at the helm. IL
the mayor should go away the council
would name one of its number to act
as mayor and then the appointment
could be expected. Heretofore it has
been the custom to seTect the president
of the council to take the place OF
mayor, but as A. j. Davis Is in New
York the selection would fall to some-
one else. 1t might be Black but 1t is
more than likely that w. Mont Ferry
would be chosen.
