James Schermerhorn Pleads Before
Big Boston Gathering for Eman-
cipation of the Press.

. ~.
BOSTON, Aug. flames Scher-
merhorn, publisher of the. Detroit
Times, was the speaker this after
noon, before the Associated Adver-
tising Clubs of America. There are
over 1000 advertising men attending
the four days convention here,
coming from all parts of the United
States and from Europe.
Mr.. Hchermerhorn's subject was
Newspapers and their Advertisers,
and he recommended the policy OF
his, own newspaper TO his hearers
for their adoption In a straishtfor-
ward talk and an earned appeal for
honesty and cleanliness In newspa-
per-making. He spoke as follows.
The precise form Of my theme. was
prehgured In the foregathering Of this
convention this morning IN old Faneuil
hall, composite OF tribune and mart.
Newspapers and advertisers--Titanic
forces In our throbbing MODERN life.
Strange that In the discussion of their
inter- dependence we should be COM
PEELED to turn back to Faneuil hall OF
the Ceasars-to the Roman forum,
where political discussion and the
traffic OF the market-piacer centered.
The newspaper Is the palladium OF
cure OF business Ills. Yet the tongue
OF s-lf-government and the trumpet OF
trade have no voice to right wrong
that furnishes their relationship.

martyr to abolition. was crying up

BIGGEST TAX DAY EVER.
Local Office Makes New Record BY
Issuing 3,44s Receipts, Monday.

The number Of peoplew no paid
their taxes Monday, was the largest
in the history OF the city. The OIL
cial figures show that 3,44s receipts
were made out.
The cause OF the rush was that 1t
was the last day when taxes could
be paid without interest. After July
81, 4 per cent for every month is
charged.
The receipts Of the final day did not
equal those Of last year ny some $780,
900. for the simply reason that the
four cashiers at the windows were so
busy all day long and for three hours
after the ONCE closed that they 6idn't
have time to touch the mail, and from
$4,000 to 100000 no doubt laid qfAr

HURLBUT
IN FRESH RuMPUS
Alderman Makes Hot Objection To
Purchase Of $1,000 Auto for
Park Department.

Another tilt between Aid. Lynch
and Park Commissioner Hurlbut liv-
ened up the meeting OF the council
committee on parks and boulevards,
Tuesday morning.
An order to the Warren Motor Car
Co., for a car for the use OF the en-
ployes OF the department of parks
and boulevards was confirmed after
a hot discussion between the alder
man and the commissioner. A rep
resentative OF the Standard Asphalt
and Rubber Co., Of Chicago, who
wants to sell the city some of his
eompany,s Sarco asphalt paving ma
terial, was heard and he also had to
take a grilling at the hands OF Aid.
Lynch. Both matters will be pre-
sented to the council Tuesday even
ing.
Il don't see why the city has to
spend a thousand dollars or so to
buy car to carry tools In" said Aid.
Lynch.
"But this car is for Superintend-
ent Floriday, and his old one will
be used on Belle Isle to carry tools"
explained the commissioner.
'We}t 4ou've got more horses and
buggies over there now than you
know what to do with, and feed costs
money" countered the alderman
"You say you expect to sell some OF
them? You've had two weeks to do
1t and none of them is gone. tell
you that Belle Isle Is the most ex-
pensive proposition we've got on
our hands this summer"
And the best, interrupted Com
missioner -Hurlbut, smiling and. TAX
ing longsatisfying pun from his
cigar.
Advertisements for bids for the
cars were printed in local newspa-
pers but Aid. Lynch wanted to do
some more advertising, on the ground
that more bids could be secured. He
objected to having extras such as a
speedometer on the new machine,
but was informed by the commits
sioner that he didn't want city EN-
ployes in his department to break
the speed laws. The other members
of the committee didn't sympathize
with the objections of Aid. Lynch.
well, | don't care what you do,
but l think It a luxury that we
don't need and shame to throw the
money that way"
The order for a $1,000 machine, to
be bought from the Warren Motor
Car Co., was confirmed. The only
other bid was $3.50 for a secondhand
Chalmers car.
"And another thing" broke in
Lynch again, who knows anything
about these bids We weren't there
when they were opened. The com
missioner never lets US in on any Of
this"
The opening of bids is always pub
lic," stated the commissioner and the
committee turned attention to paw
ing.
