Want School Building Improved

An effort is being made by the Civic
Improvement society to have the city
beautify the Roberts school on Fifth
avenue and Seventeenth street. The
society has added greatly to the beauty
of the grounds by planting grass. lay
ing cement sidewalks. planting trees,
and building fences, and now that they
have done so much they think that
the city should paint the structure,
which needs work of the kind. Some
years ago a corner of the building
was torn down and rebuilt and the
bricks need painting badly.

action. The street gang and wagons

mated to cost $4,000.

a considerable question in the COM

however, that many of the most promi-

Montgomery, August 3.-(Special.)-
While the city democratic committee
has agreed to have a primary to de-
eide whether or not commission form
of government will be provided for
the city and the justices of the peace
be eliminated In the city beats for
an inferior criminal court, it Is by
no means certain that either will have
easy sailing. The outlook is that the
first named will win out, as a large
number of prominent men in all walks
of life are for 1t, but the justices
friends will be able to put up a good
fight.
There can be no doubt that many
justices of the peace in Alabama and
some In Montgomery county have been
used as a medium of collecting debts
from negroes in a way that is not
in line with justice and right deal
ings. Loan sharks have charged eX-
orbitant interest and the justices. in
carrying out their duties, have made
1t possible for tn EN- to do so. 1t
is also quite well known that In some
cases negroes, in trouble with the JUS
tice courts. are let out to farmers
in a state of service that is In real
ever, that the large body of justices
are good men and ready to do all
the time the right thing.

KAISER HAS NINETY ESTATES.
Is Also the Beneficiary of Several
Trusts-His Expenses.

bill for raising the civil list of
the Kaiser as King of Prussia has
been introduced into the lower house
of the Prussian diet in the form of a
supplementary credit providing for an
increase i'm the revenues of the crown
by $5000 900 At the same time pro-
posal for another supplementary cred
it was laid before supplementary cred
an extra grant to the royal eXchequer
of $375.O0O a year for the mainte
nance of the royal theaters.
His heavy responsibilities as a fam
lily man are the principal reason why
the kaiser finds his present income of
s3,925,000 as King of Prussian and
S65O,O0O as German Emperor insuffic
lent. He has to support his three
married sons, each of whom keeps up
two households. one at Berlin and one
at Potsdam. OF the other four chill
dren, Prince Adalbert is in the navy
and has villa at Kiel, while Prince
Oscar has to have a rented house to
live in until his studies at Strasburg
are over. The upkeep of the royal
castles. many of which he seldom sees.
is also a heavy drain on the purse Of
the kaiser.
Another item which bulks largely in
the Kaiser's expenditure is his outlay
on the royal theaters. on the royal
theaters of Berlin he eXpends $500, 900
a year, and at each of those at Wies-
baden, Cassel and Hanover 100000.
Altogether for the encouragement of
art in various forms the emperor. il
is said, disburses $1,25O,000 "A year.
In the debate on the bill in the
PrusSian diet the social democrats, as
was expected, were the only party
that opposed the increase of the kai-
ser's civil list and their opposition
was based on the ground that as an
agricultural landlord he profits enor-
mously by the increased rise in the
price of gain owing to the protective
customs duties. This increase of the
royal income from grain growing es-
tates is estimated at $125,000 a year
Apart from the civil list and the
kaiser's ninety estates, there are a
number of valuable Prussian family
trusts in which the kaiser is the chief
beneficiary. One was founded in the
seventeenth century by the great cleo
tor. In 1898 Frederick William |
founded another house trust
