Sichort late last night and pulled him
out of the house in spite Of the
widows hysterical pleadings. They

they found a keg of tar Stripping
him of every stitch Of clothing they
bedaubed him with the tar. Several

GETS TO COURT
City Judge Thinks Health
Board Should Go After All
ViOIatOrS of Ordinance

Joseph L. Carpenter, representing
the Landlith Improvement Company,
appeared in City Court this morning to
answer to a charge of violating the
city ordinance enforcing the cutting of
weeds in vacant lots. The Board Of
Health was the complainant, alleging
that the Improvement Company had
neglected to cut weeds on it's property
at Twenty-third and Jessup streets.
Mr.. Carpenter explained that the
weed cutting had been started ten days
ago. but had been delayed by the work
men. He promised to have it re-
sumed at once.
"I would be perfectly willing to pay
this fine" he added, "if the ordinance
were enforced all over the city"
That's just the point" Judge Coch-
ran said approvingly. "They have ap-
parently picked out one man ON whom
to enforce the ordinance. There are
many other places about the city
where weeds are not cut and have
never been cut. / see places where
the weeds need cutting right in our
own nighbOrhOod.
The charge was held up for two
weeks in order that Mr.. Carpenter
might clear the weeds away.

ENGLISH PRESS
ON GAYNOR
Attempted Assassination
Likened to the Killing Of
Premier Of Egypt

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, Aug. 1O-The attempt on
the life of Mayor Gaynor has given
a number of the English papers a
longed-for chance to inveigh against
Colonel Roosevelt and his Guildhall
speech and to liken the attempted as
sassination of the Mayor to the killing
of Premier Boutros Pasha, of Egypt,
whose murder led the Colonel in his
Guildhall speech to question the ca
pacity of England's rule in Egypt
THE assassination of Boutros Pasha
is paralleled by the attempted as
sassination of Mayor Gaynor." the
Evening Star says. "Will Roosevelt
dare to propose the disfranchisement
of New York city or the forcible dis
solution Of Tammany Hall? He
should do so to be consistent with his
recommendations regarding English
rule In Egypt. We hope the crime
will bring home TO Roosevelt the folly
OF his excursions into others af-
fairs"
