NO AUTO; WALKING is FINE
Mayor Tells Richmond County Coroner
He Cannot Get Money for a Car.

Coroner Jackson of Richmond County
apparently made a bad mistake when he
attempted to crafty his desire for an auto
mobile by purchasing one out of his cOntin-
gent fund, after the Mayor had disapproved
an authorization of revenue bonds for such
a purpose some months ago.
Controller Prendergast has not only re-
fused to approve the voucher for $9l5 for
the new machine, but has told the Coroner
that. as he has seemed TO be able to take
enough money out Of his contingent fund
for an automobile 1t is evident that the fund
is larger than is really needed for its legiti-
mate purposes. He therefore expects the
Coroner to reduce his request for money
for contingent expenses in the 1911 budget
In disapproving the appropriation for the
rorouer's automobile the Mayor wrote that
tho TRANSFORMATION facilities in Richmond
nara sufficient and that he could say from
actual experience that tie walking facilities
there were fine.

Within the next ten days or two weeks
the local fishermen are looking for a
heavy run of herring and perhaps of shad
if they can get by the nets in the mouth
of the river and at the various fishing
shores that will be operated. Prepare

taken there at haul and are sent to this
market to be cut and packed for ship
ment all over the country. In addition to
Fairy landing and Windmill point and
Passapatanzy fishing shores, which are
already in operation, it is stated that
the Gums, Chapmans. Whitewater, Mox-

INQUIRY NEARS THE END
INVESTIGATION INTO SHOOT
ING UP OF BROWNSVILLE.
Belief That Army Court Will Be
Adverse to the Colored
Soldiers.

The investigation by the special army
April, 1909. of the shooting up of
Brownsville. Tex, in August, 1905, is
slowly drawing to an end. The act di-
recting the investigation required that
it should be completed within one year
and the result reported to Congress. The
requirement will be met by the sub
mission Of the proceedings and findings
of the court to Congress early next
month. All the evidence is in and it is
arranged that the counsel shall make
their arguments tomorrow. Brig. Gen
A. r Daggett, U. s. A., retired, will
make the closing argument on behalf OF
the discharged soldiers Of the 25th In
fantry, and Capt. Charles R. Rowland,
21st United States Infantry. recorder of
the court, will close for the prosecution
Testimony of Officers.
Three white officers of the discharged
battalion have given evidence to the
court tending to discredit the evidence
adduced by the Senate committee which
investigated the affair-that all the am
munition at Fort Brown the night Of the
shooting had been accounted for by the
ofiicers in command. The testimony of the
three officers, who have just been exam
ined, was to the effect that in one COM
pany from FIVE hundred to one thousand
rounds of ammunition were missing and
in another company there was surplus,
and that the records Of the third COM
pany were SO imperfectly kept that it was
impossible to say whether there was a
shortage or not.
