ORDINANCE BARS :
TAX RECEIVERS
NAMING CLERKS
Democratic Aldermen Will Vote
to Transfer That Authority
to Common Council.

An adjourned meeting of Common
Council will be held tonight, when an
ordinance will be introduced and passed
by the Democratic majority taking from
the tax receiver the power of appoint
ing clerks in his office and giving the
right to Common Council.
This action is by way of preparation
for the passage Of an ordinance in
which the Council will accept the civil
service law. The Council is Democratic
by large majority.
There are several veterans in the re-
ceiver's office, and 1t is believed they
cannot be ousted, but there will be at
least six Republicans who will be, by
the revocation of the old ordinance and
the adoption of the new one. The
salaries of the places are $1,320 a year.
The Council will be able to pass the
ordinance under suspension of the
rules at a single sitting, because 1t
does not provide for the expenditure
of money, nor does 1t affect personal
liberty.
The acceptance of the civil service
law will probably be made at a further
adjournment to next Friday evening
of tonight's meeting.

F. B. BURNS 8 CO.
Newark Concern Had to Pay
Promissory Notes for Which
Trautwein Is Blamed.

Revelations by Newark detectives
who uncovered the operations of a
gang of note swindlers in the East
have resulted in the arrest by New
York Central Office men of e. Elliott
Trautwein, a "broker," with offices in
Manhattan. Trautwein is held at po-
lice headquarters in New York City on
charge of defrauding Frank A Burns
& Co., Of 81 New Jersey Railroad ave-
nue., this city, out of $25000 promis-
sorry notes in the same way that the
Blue Ridge Enameled Brick Company
was swindled three months ago.
Detective Sergeants Tuite and Horter
unearthed the operations of a gang
in six States and nine cities. From In
formation given by the Newark sleuths
District Attorney Jerome caused the
arrest in New York of nine members
of the gang, whose operations are said
to have mounted toward the million
dollar mark. The latest arrest was
Trautwein's. He was taken into Gus
tody last night at his country place in
Woodmere, Long Island, and came to
the police station dressed in the height
of fashion.
Magistrate Breen held Trautwein in
$4,000 bail, which he was unable to
furnish.
Frank L. Burns, of Mount Morris
Park, New York, is head of the nov
city manufacturing firm of his name
at 81 New Jersey Railroad avenue, this
city. He says that in March, 1905,
Trautwein visited his Office and repre-
sented himself as being associated with
the American National Bank of Bos-
ton and the Emerson Manufacturing
Company.
Knowing these firms to be reputable.
Burns entered into an agreement with
Trautwein whereby the broker was to
float a loan of $4,000 for the Novelty
Manufacturing Company. Trautwein
left with ten notes, each for $4,000.
which fell due on the first, of each of
the succeeding ten months Nothing
further was heard from the broker
until the notes began to arrive.
Burns says he had to pay several of
the notes in full and as his demands
for an accounting were ignored. he
swore out a warrant for the brokers'
arrest.

fornia, his splendid baritone voice go
ing forth like the tones of a great
church organ. California's s tribute to
Taft was brief and fervid. Now there
was another lull in the Taft move
ment while the remaining candidates
were placed in nomination.
It was late in the afternoon before
the convention, now literally swelter-
ing with the intense heat and weary
after nearly seven hours Of continuous
session, reached the end of the flood
of eloquence and the decks were at
last cleared for the seconding speech
for LaFollette.
Like cyclone from clear sky
burst a LaFollette demonstration
which swept the convention from its
very bearings. It was the same deaf
ening wave of sound that had greeted
Roosevelt yesterday and Taft little
while before, intense and maddening
and with the vital ring of genuine en-
thusiasm. It seemed as though Wis
consin had suddenly peopled every
1
foot of the galleries. The delegates
sat calm and waiting except the fran
tic Wisconsins, but the convention fo1
the time being was in possession OF
the galleries.
Now, singular transformation oc-
Cured. Gradually the whirlwinc
yeered from LaFollette to Roosevelt.
A banner bearing the Roosevelt por.
trait and waved from the gallery was
the signal for the change, but in ths
confused babel of voices there was NJ

great building.
The close of his speech of nomina-
tion was the signal for pent-up feel
ing of the Taft legions. Instantly, the
Ohio delegations were on their feet,
other Taft states following, while the
convention hosts in the gallery and
ON the floor broke into mad demon
stration.
ssTaft, Taft, w. II. Taft, came
in roar from the Ohioans. Mega
phones seemed to spring from con-
cealed places and swell the Taft tu-
multi into thunder. A huge black silk
banner bearing the familiar features
of the statesman secretary was swung
before the delegates, awakening a
fresh whirlwind of enthusiasm.
All semblance of order had been
abandoned and the delegates were q
maelstrom of gesticulating men. Inc
guidons of the states were snatcneo
up by the Taft enthusiasts or borne
under by the storms of disorder. Inc

above the deafening volume OF SOUNDS.
For 10, Is, yes, 20 minutes, this up
