as will be shown by a glance at the
police blotter, but there are portions
of the city where a regular patrol
cannot be maintained. aid certain
drivers take advantage of this fact.
Il think We'll make the bonds $50
instead of SO hereafter" said the chief
in speaking of this complaint this
morning. "They have been gwen no
tice enough, and if they will continue
to speed, we will see what can be done
in the way of heavier bonds"
Patrolmen on duty this morning re-
ported the names of several drivers
who are thought to have violated The
speed ordinance limit during the past
few days, and for the balance of the
week they may feel certain, W2ile IN
the business section of the city a; least,
to have several blue-cOats holding the
teIl-tale stop-watches upon their pro-
gress.
While it is the opinion in certain
quarters that Mr.. Whiteman should
have made the complaint to Chief
Davis in a private manner, and that
the explosion in open council was a
trife premature, people who nave
been threatened by speeding autos
and by cyclists spinning along With
out bells or lights, feel that the COM
pIaint was a most opportune occur

offenders on their guard and prevent
the likelihood of accidents.

SPAIN'S TROUBLES.

The belief prevails that the Spanish
ministry headed by Senior Maura was
forced out of office by King Alfonso
in an effort to quiet foreign criticism
and possibly to lessen the domestic
discomfort caused by the execution of
Prof Ferrer for completely in the Bar
celona riots. Whether q mere change
of ministry will effect this result is
reasonably doubtful. The real causes
of Spanish disturbance are too deep
seated to be reached by any political
eXpedient of this character. 1t may
be, of course, that the king has been
badly advised and served by the Maura
ministry and that a change of gov
eminent will assist him in restoring
equilibrium to the country But in
vitw of the previous weakness of the
liberal party when invested with pow
er this result is not strongly promis-
ing.
There are two direct causes of dis
content in Spain, the church influence
and the war in Morocco. Anti-govern-
ment demonstrations in that country,
whatever the immediate excuse have
always a strongly anti-clerical char
acter, a sinister sign of reaction
against the power of the church in
state affairs. This note was sounded
in all the demonstrations throughout
Europe following the execution OF
Ferrer. If King Alfonso undertakes to
pacify his own people by the removal
of the causes of their unrest, he will
engage upon a campaign of far-reach-
ing CONSEQUENCES bevOnd as ,yoII &C
within his own dominions.
The war in Morocco is comparative
~ minor matter. That can be aban-

Scranton. Pa, March 27.-Reaffirm-
ing the demands already presented to
the operators, the anthracite miners
voted to remain at work after April i,
allowing the district executive boards
OF the hard coal fields of Pennsylvania
to continue their efforts TO get an
agreement satisfactory to the men.
The miners were instructed by the
convention to continue at work until
such time as they are otherwise nott-
fed by the official representatives of
the three anthracite districts, II the
executive boards were instructed 10
negotiate a n agreement upon such ba-
sis as the boards in their judgment be-
lieved the conditions warrant,
The convention was called upon TO
act upon "A resolution looking to arbi-
tration as a final solution If the men
and their employers cannot agree. The
resolution was introduced by a district
officer, and in substance asked Presi-
dent Taft TO create a commission sim
liar to the one appointed by President
Roosevelt in 1902. A heated debate
followed, with the result that the reso-
luton was referred to the three execu-
tive boards. Nearly all the leaders
We're against ii, and it may never be
put into effect by the boards.
While a suspension of coal mining on
the part of the men has been avoided
for the present. there is still a posi-
bility for a strike. but IL is remote.

OPERA STAR PAYS
BACK THE $4,000

New York. March 27.-The latest
trouble of Miss Mary Garden, the Sa-
lone and That's of the Manhattan opera
house, had TO do not with Oscar Ham
merstein, nor any, Italian soprano, but
with David Mayer, of Chicago, who
was a member of the firm of Schles-
niger & Mayer. Mr.. Mayer, with his
wife, had advanced Miss Garden $780,
900 for her musical education, and Miss
Garden has Just repaid the loan.
That was eleven years ago. Miss Car
den at hat time was a choir singer in
Chicago. She was about TO start for
Paris to learn to sing and act. The
Mayors were interested In her-they
had been friends of her father--they
believed she has talent. They fur
nished the money necessary for her
grounding herself In her art. She not
only grounded herself. but made a big
success. However, success at the Paris
opera comique does not mean the same
thing financially that success means In
New York and Miss Garden did not find
1t convenient to reimburse her bene-
factors.
Miss Garden will not go into details
on the subject. which she insists, is a
private matter. But about two months
ago, Mr.. Mayer, impatient for the
money, and believing the soprano was
now making plenty TO pay him, de-
manded IL. There were communications
of more or less acrid character between
the Mayors and Miss Garden and Their
the soprano did q little scurrying about
to her banks and sent to Chicago a
check for the sum OF 2 10000, plus The
interest.

Cleveland, March 25.-WiNie told his
story as best he could. 1t was not a
