Following the report of the finance
committee, in which it was recon-
rnended that $3,040 be appropriated
from the general fund to be placed In
the hands of the board of public works
t. be used in remedying the DeVilliers
street sewer defects, a lively discussion
ersued at the regular meeting of the
city council held last night The dis
cussion consumed something like an
hour and almost every member of the
council present expressed himself on
the matter before it was finally dis
posed of by the mayor being instruct
ed to appoint committee to thor
oughly investigate the entire PROPOSE
ton and report back to the council
The mayor appointed as members of
this COMMITTEES, the members Of the
harbor and sanitary committee. which
is composed of the following alder
men: Oliver, Meyer and Kent This
committee is to thoroughly examine
the situation and make some recon-
raendations TO the council which will
then be referred to the board of public
works.
Before this final disposition of the
matter was made, the recommendation
OF the finance committee was unani-
mously rejected, even the members of
the committee voting against the
adoption of the recommendation
Members of that committee stated
that the recommendation had been
roade simply because 1t was impera-
tive that something be done at once
TO relieve the situation, but that they
had signed the Recommendation re-
luctantly and hoped that the council
could offer a better remedy and vote
down the Recommendation.
When the vote was taken, Alderman
Fisher was the only one to vote
against the appointment of commit

TO REPAIR PILING.
Chairman Merritt, Of the board of
bend trustees, called the attention of
the aldermen to the fact that a part
o. the appropriation recommended was
for the purpose Of repairing the piling
at the end OF the sewer and that
unless this was done, the city was
liable at any time to have big damage
suits brought against It on account

The following telegram from
Rock Island, ILL.,, relative to the
lodge Of the Modern Woodmen

schedule of rates will no doubt
be read with interest by loca'
me nbers of the organization:
An official statement with
drawing the order for new insur-
ance rates as adopted by the
head camp of the order in Chi
cago, was issued from the execu-
tive Offices Of the Modern Wood
men Of America today. The ac-
ton was sequel to a recent court
decision in Springfield. H., en-
joining enforcement of the new
rates"
Pending the disposition Of the
rate question in the last court Of
appeals the society viii obtain
and no more policies under the
new rates will be issued.
The problem which now con
fronts the society is the status of
the 200, 900 members who left
the order in protest to the new
rates as adopted By the head
camp at Chicago. Under a
special dispen5ation they have
until December to return without
being counted as lapsed mem

Wythevil'e, Va, Dec. II. -
Thirty-fve years in the peniten-
tiary is the penalty Sidney Allen
will pay fer his partin the shoot
ing up of the Carroll county
court house at HillSville last
March, when persons, including
he presiding judge, the sheriff,
and the commonwealth attorney,
were killed by members of the
Allen clan, and a number Of 9th
ers wounded.
Aliens nephew, Wesley Ed
wards, will spend q years in the
penitentiary. These two senten-
ces were the result of a compro-
mise this afternoon following q
verdict of voluntary manslaught-
er in the case Of Sidna Allen fol
the murder of Common Wealth
Attorney William Foster, the
jury fixing the penalty in thai
case at 5 years Imprisonment.
Allen already had been founc
guilty of second degree murder
at a former trial for the killing
of Judge Massie for which he
had been sentenced to 10 years
Another Indictment pending
against him for the murder Of
Sheriff Webb was compromised
by letting him plead guilty t.
second degree murder and take ;
10 years sentence.
The combined sentences make
80 years. Three indictment.
against Wesley Edwards alsc
were compromised, he taking ;
sentence of nine years imprison
ment on each. In the SECOND
trial of Sidra Allen which ended
today nine of the jurors on the
first ballot stood for acquittal anC
the other three for murder in the
second degree.
Gov. Mann today granted {
respite until January II to FloyC

take advantage of this may be
out Of the society.
There are also 10000 who
have either joined the society
since the new rate plan was
adopted or who had their policies
transferred to the new schedule.
What is to be done with their
policies and rates is arc her

The head officers SIRE the

settlement Of the controversy an
equitable rate will prevail for al
these members of uncertain
status and that no effort will be
made to enforce the collection Of
the new rates until their legal ty
is finally decided.

In nearly all Of the counties
