UNDERGROUND WIRE
SELMA COUNCIL WILL PASS AN oR-
 n. .DINANCE.
COrporaflons Are Expected to Resist Its Enforcement and Litiga-
 tiOn May FOIlOw-Cen- . tral City News.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau, -t... Selma. July 14.
 Ii is generally expected that the city of Selma will have quite fight on It's hands after the next session of the Council when the ordinance which will require that all telegraph, telephone and lighting companies place their wires underground.
 Tha ordinance as read at the meet ing of the Council Monday night will require that all wires in the business part of the city from Sylvan, Street to Church Street down Water and from Water Street to Dallas, down Broad be placed underground. except those used for arc lights and trolley wires for the street car lines.
 There Is little doubt that this ordi- nance will be passed at the next meet ing of the Council as the majority of the members of that body are In favor of its passage. There is also little doubt that the enforcement of the or dinance will be resisted by the corpo- rations which do business in Selma. One company is already taking steps in that direction. The other corpora tions doing business In the city are alert as to the situation. All of the companies may combine and oppose the passage and the enforcement of the measure in body. but it Is not known whether such a combination has been formed.
 The, placing underground of all the wires In the business district of the city will mean the expenditure of quite a large sum of money by the compa- nies. It can only be done after several months work and while there is little doubt that the measure will be opposed the members of the. Council are confi- dent that 1t will be enforced If 1t Is passed at the next meeting.
 Resisted an officer.
 Beatrice Gaston. Nancy Gaston and Lena Gaston. negro women, were tried in police court this morning upon diff ferent charges, the principal one be- ing that of resisting an officer.
 Monday night Police ofhcer Bell ar rested Beatrice Gaston on the charge of dlsorderly conduct. The woman re- sisted and began fighting the police man. She was joined in the light by her two sisters and things were made lively for the officer
 The officer finally landed his pris6n- CTS at police headquarters where they were locked up for the night.
 This morning Beatrice Gaston was fined S25 and costs for resisting an of hcer and for being disorderly and her sisters were fined &10 and costs for re- sIsting an officer
 Several other cases were tried du- ring the session of the court and fines to the amount of $25 were assessed.
 One negro woman Anna Minter, was sentenced for ten days on the charge oi selling or giving away cocaine.

New Haven, Conn, June 26.-Secy,
Taft had arranged to leave New Haven
at 9:35 o'clock today with Mrs. Taft and
their son Charles for New York, but as
the carriage was awaiting them at the
entrance TO the residence of w. w.
Farnam, the secretary concluded TO
remain here until later In the day. Mrs.
Taft and Charles, accompanied by Mr..
Farnam, drove to the station and de-
reach Washington about 6 o'clock this
evening.
In explanation of his sudden change
ot plans Secy Taft said that some
conferences which he was able to have
had today in New York had to
be abandoned on account Of the funeral
this afternoon of the late President
Cleveland.

that we did not make it more interest

we defeated them at baseball anyway"
Mr.. Taft had particular pleasure IN
meeting so large a number OF his for
mer classmates, the reunion of rs hav-
ing been the largest and most success

Notwithstanding the fatigue of the
last four days, Secy. Taft expressed
himself today as feeling in excellent
spirits.
Mrs, Taft on returning to Washing
ton will begin preparations for breaking
up their home in the national capitol.
They will spend practically the entire
summer at Hot Springs. Va. only one
or two short trips from there to other
points being in contemplation.
In New York tonight Mr.. Taft will
dine with Jacob G.. Schmidlapp of Gin
cinnati, and perhaps another friend or
two, but he says the dinner will not
be in any sense significant While in
New York the secretary probably Will
confer with a few personal and polite
al friends as to plans for the approach

of his official business in the war de-
partment. After his conference with

In Washington is Not Believed He
Will Permit Anomalous Situ-
alton to Continue.
SLEEPER ON HIS WAY HOME.
Both He and Lieut. Rugglcs, Military
Attache, Courtcously Treated by
Venezuela Up to Departure.

Washington, June 26.--Jacob Sleep
er, the secretary of the American le-
cation at Caracas, who was summoned
home by this government because of
the dissatisfaction of the adminlstra-
ton with the manner in which Pres-
dent Castro had been dealing with in
terests of citizens of this country has
reported his arrival at Willemstad to
the department Of state. Mr.. sleeper
announces that he is ready to proceed
to the American naval station at
Guantanamo and arrangements will
be made today for sending the Mari
eta there. Mr. Sleeper viii remain Mt
Guantanamo only long enough to catch
n steamer on his way to New York
going by way of Cienfuegos and Ha-
Vana, Cuba,
With n grim sense of humor. in
view of the conditions under which
he left Venezuela, Mr.. Sleepr suggests
TO the state department that II is i'm
practicable for him to proceed to New
York direct from Willemstad as the
steamer leaving for New York goes by
way of Porto Cabello, Wa, which
place he had just left Mr.. Sleeper's
despatch adds that Military Attache
Ruggles and family, after undergoing
quarantine presumably at WllleinS-
tad Will proceed to Washington. The
officials of the state department feel
that on personal interviews with Mr.
Sleeper they viii be better informed
as to the attitude of President Castro.
1t is believed here that President
Castro viii not be willing to permit
the present anomalous situation to
continue indefinitely.
The cordial relations that exist be-
tween the state department and Senior
Veloz-Goiticoa, Venezuelan charge in
this city, are looked upon as an easy
channel for any resumption of a
friendly discussion of the situation.
With Consular Agent Brewer in charge
at Caracas, this government should
communicate easily with the Venezuela
an capitol at any time.
Much interest was attached here to
the statement of Mr.. Sleeper and
Lieut.. Ruggles, the military attache,
in an interview given the Associated
Press at Willemstad. In this the two
members of the legation reiterated
that they were courteously treated by
Venezuela up to the time of their
departure and that they We're awaiting
instructions from Washington.
