ENGLISH HORSEMEN
do" YOUNG VANDERBILT

NEW YORK, July 21.-The arrival
of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's horses
on the Atlantic Transport Co. liner
Minnehaha has developed the fact
that the famous whip was made a VIC
tim OF English "gyps" during the sale
of his coach horses In Tattersalls,
London, and lost $4,000.
On the day appointed big crowd
was on hand at Tattersalls. but the
English "gyps,'' or cheap horsemen,
had formed clique and circulated
the rumor that Vanderbilt had reserv-
ed the best OF his horses TO take back
to America. and would offer only
those for which he had no use. AS a
result, British show horse owners fall
ed to appear. The "gyps" had the
bidding practically to themselves. and
So horses sold at an average OF about
$3.50 q head.
On the day following the English
horsemen put up the horses they Sc
cured, and realized big prices on them.

TO VOTE ON
CONVENTION HALL
PROBABLE THAT PROPOSAL WILL
BE SUBMITTED IN NOvEM-
Der ELECTION.

The proposal to erect a convention
hall capable of caring for the largest
gatherings will be submitted to a
vote OF the people in the November
election If possible. This was the de-
cision reached in the Joint meeting OF
the council public buildings commit
tee and Board OF Commerce public hall
committee, held In the Board OF Com
merce rooms, Monday afternoon.
Ralph M. Dyar presided and, after
several plans were discussed 1t was
decided best to appoint a committee
to consult with the corporation coun'
sci as to the best means OF sub
mittin- the matter. The new con
stitution goes to a vote in November,
and II is possible under this -consti-
tuition to raise the bonding limit by
popular vote.
A question In doubt Is as TO whether
this vote to authorize bonds can be
held at the same time as the election
at which the constitution is adopted.
II II cannot. a vote may still be taken
to get the popular sentiment before
going farther.
ID. j. Campau was present and de-
scribed the great Denver auditorium,
w. C. Maybury told about the st. Paul
convention hall plans for which were
on view. Director Griffith, Of the Mu-
scum of Art. also spoke. Aid. Brozo,
Renaud and Watson argued that unit
ed action be taken as rapidly as pos
sible.
Contrary to the wishes Of the alder
men, the press representatives were
barred from the meeting by direction
of a Board Of Commerce clerk. Flu
ture meetings OF the joint committee
will be held in the city hall and will
not be secret

WARM PRELIMINARIES

ents. Carl and Marie Kelka.

TO INVESTIGATE YOUTH
WHO SHOT TWO GIRLS

SAGINAW, Mich, July 21.-Geo.
Van Teski, aged II, is In the county
jail awaiting investigation OF the
shooting affair in Carrolton. near the
Bliss farm. In which two little. girls,
Alice Max and Hattie Stanle, were
slightly wounded. Rumors OF the de-
liberate shooting have been contra
dicted by witnesses, who say Van Tes-
XII met the girls, who are 9 and IA, In
a road and exhibited his shotgun.
They wanted to see him shoot and,
II is said, Van Teski pulled the trigger,
pointing the gun toward the ground.
The girls were 40 feet away. but fly
ing shot struck them In the hands
and face, which were badly federated.
The authorities think the boy was
merely careless and he will probably
not be prosecuted.

WEED-CUTTING PROBLEM
GOES TO TOWN LAWYER

After considering the weed-cutting
proposition from several angles the
ways and means committee OF the coun.
Gil passed 1t up to the corporation
councils office. Tuesday morning. The
members have been informed that,
according to the form required by the
state law, 1t costs more to notify prop
erty owners than 1t does to cut the
weeds, and the council is, therefore,
anxious to approp late sum simply
for weed-cutting. This may turn out
to be contrary to law, however. and
in that case the work will have to
be done in the old. expensive way.
In the meantime, the weeds are
ripening.

Wants Alley Grade Restored.

Because he does not want to have
to put his horse in the barn with a
derrick, Fred w. Dennert, No. 270
Elizabeth-st. east, has petitioned the
council to change the grade of the
alley back of his house. This alley
was paved years ago with cobble
stone and the barns built 10 agree
with that grade. Now II is being re
paved and the grade has been lowered
SO that Dement'S barn door is left
high and dry above the grade. He
wants the grade changed before the
brick pavement Is laid.

ANGELL ON TAFT.

It seems to us. says The Raleigh Times. that George T. Angell. president of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. edI- tor of Our Dumb Animals and prefix for various other descriptive titles in his excessive zeal in behalf of the brute creation, is himself acting cruel ly. or rather has been cruel in one specific instance. Hear him:
 It is outrageous cruelty to animals for 6 big S00-pound man like Taft to ride a horse about the country.
 It ought to be stopped at once. No teamster, or any one who knows any thing about animals. would think of loading a hoTse down.
 do not doubt the stories sent out from Hot Springs that the horses legs have been wrenched and strained
 Something should certainly be done has any business on horseback. If he must ride, let him use an automobile or an elephant
 If that isn't cruelty we don't know what to call 1t. And how the big can didate.s tender heart must go out in pity to the poor "wrenched and strained" horse when he meditates on the deliverance of George T. And how his conscience must smite him.
