ATTEMPTS TO PASS BOGUS
CHECK FOR So CENT REWARD
Negro HaIIboy Acts Part of Cats
paw for Forger

NEW YORK, Aug. IA negro
youth entered the Garfield National
bank yesterday afternoon and pre-
scented a check for $39S7S, purportlns
to have been drawn by Lon spencer,
proprietor of "literary, dramatic ana
booking bureau" at As East Fourteenth
street and payable to Milford c. Men
dell. The youth offered two letters,
apparently signed respectively by
Spencer and by Mendell, assuring
the bank that immediate payment
would "oblige" them. ..
Spencer was called on the telephone.
He said he had never signed either
check or note. Lieutenant Rem OF the
central office was called and arrested
the negro, who said he was Clarence
Jones, II years, a hallboy in the apart
ment house at 204 West SeVenty-elgnth
street. He said the check and notes
had been given to him by stranger
in the street, who promised him oO
cents.
In Jones pocket was a note of in
structfons which he said the stranger
had given him. 1t read: go to Gar
field bank, Twenty-third street and
Broadway, then up Broadway TO
Twenty-seventh street, cross Twenty
seventh to Madison avenue, up to
Twenty-ninth and then to Fourth ave-
nue.. where / will meet you"
Rein sent the boy over the route ana
followed but no man appeared to claim
the decoy envelope the lad carried.
Jones was taken to Jefferson market
court and held on a charge of at
tempting to pass a forged check.

MAKE 85 CENTS
1910 TAX RATE
Municipal Budget Committee Cuts
Big Slices from Years
Appropriations
CITY HALL ANNEX'C HEAPENED
General Levy Same as Last Year
but Does Not Include
Bond Interest
CITY HALL ANNEX'CHEAPENED

BY reducing the amount for the an
mex to the city hall from $4,000 to
$4,000; by cutting out altogether the
appropriation for the municipal band;
by reducing some of the park estimates
two-thirds and by cutting appropria-
lions for other departments to the bone
the tax rate will be IS cents of this
year.
This announcement was made by w
]. Washburn, chairman of the budget
committee, at the meeting of the coun-
Gil yesterday afternoon. This Is the
same general rate that was made last
year, but 1t does not include the tax
levy for interest and sinking fund on
bonds. This cannot be named until
1t is definitely known how much in
bonds the city will issue during the
coming year.
Harbor bonds, power bonds and addi-
tional owens river bonds figure large
ly in the coming years bond issue,
and while 1t is not anticipated that all
the authorized amounts for these
projects will be sold in the twelve
months, it is the councils intention
to sell as many bonds as possible If
the market is good this fall.
The budget committee expects to re-
port it's findings next Tuesday and
most of the department heads will be
sorely disappointed when the figures
are made public, for Mr.. Washburn in
timated yesterday that many of the
pet projects of various departments had
to be sacrificed to keep taxation within
the figure set.
One Of the most serious problems
the committee had to meet was making
proper provision for the annexed dis
tricts. These annexations cost more
than they produce in revenue and the
old city has to suffer In proportion.
TO BUILD CHEAPER ANNEX
In connection with the city hall an
mex. Building Superintendent j. j..
Backus told the building committee
Yesterday he believed he could put
I'm some kind of a brick building, two
stories high, that would accommodate
most of the offices now outside the
city hall for $4,000.
1t didn't take Washburn very long
to slash that annex appropriation, ana
Gregory, another member of the build
ing committee, sided with him. But
Whiffen, chairman of the committee,
could not agree to these figures ana
onposed them when presented to the
council. Betkousk was also opposed
to A. $4,000 city hall annex, but the
other members of the council carried
the appropriation.
Mr.. Backus freely confesses that ms
$40. 900 annex will not look very pretty
and he intends to set 1t about thirty
feet hack from the street line so that
n will not be so conspicuous. 1t will
he hnilt north of the present city hall.
The work will be done by day labor
under the supervision Of the building
department.

STRENUOUS PUNISHMENT
GIVEN UNPOPULAR MAN

LONDON, Aug. II. - The peculiar
manner in which a couple of Irishmen
living in County Cork reproved a
neighbor who was unpopular in the
village was described at the petty ses-
sions at Purrus, County Cork.
1t was stated that man named
Tobin and another, who has fled to
America, seized the unpopular neigh
Dor, took him to a convenient preci-
plce and hung him over it head down
ward.
They secured him by the heels and
let him hang for half an hour. Then
they dropped him nine feet until his
head bumped the ground and pulled
him up again.
1t was said that the victim was "ter-
ribly frightened" by his experience.
Tobin was sent to Jail for a month,
in default of paying fine.

Austria Hungary. Father Andreas
Csak of Vienna, has sent out circu-
lar commanding the mongs, in the
name Of the pope, to live according to
the strict ancient rules of the order,
which have fallen into disuse of late
years.
The Capuchin monks may not wear
hats, shoes or any linen, and they may
not sleep in beds, but must lie on two
narrow planks with single coverlet.
They may not battle or shave their
boards. though the tonsure is the rule.
The reintroduction of the ancient
rules is the cause of much discomfort.
1t is proposed here to apply it only to
the novices. The communication is
the cause of great excitement in Hun
