RESIDENTS WANT
 CREOSOTfD BLOCKS
MAIN STREET COMMISSTONE WILL MEET THIS AFTERNOON
 AND OPEN BIDS FOR WORK.
Vitrified Brick Placement Too Noisy. Say Property Owners While
 Blocks Ire NOiseIess.

The commissioners of Paving Dis trict No. 20, known as the Main street paving, will hold a meeting this after noon at Z o'clock and open bids for the construction of approximately 25,500 square yards of vitrified brick or creosoted block paving and 2,000 lineal feet of curb.
 The commissioners of the District are J. A. Clement, J. H. Watkins and Charles Chestnut. The property own CTS on South Main street are much interested in the decision of the con- missioners as to whether they will use creosoted blocks or vitrified brick. Many of themsexpressed themselves yesterday as fayoring creosoted blocks and being opposed to the use of vit- rified brick.
 One of the property owners on the street stated yesterday that the would be compelled to sell his home on South Main street if vitrified brick was used He said he did not feel like paying for that kind of pave ment because of it's great noise. Creosoted blocks is absolutely noise- less and has proven most satisfactory as durable pavement in this city.
 The property owners on South Main street say that the residents along streets now paved with brick are thoroughly disgusted with the noise that exists on them throughout the day and night They say that the rattle of wagons makes it impossible for them to hear themselves think" and if they had it to do over again they would never use brick in paving residence streets.
 The Walnut and Olive street resi- dents are highly pleased with their creosoted block pavement and assert that it holds less dust than any other pavement, because of it's oily surface.
 It is stated that one of the commits sioners of the Main street district fad vors vitrified brick, but the Main street property owners are strongly against it's use.

This report will be prese ted at the annual meeting as bass for action
 The question first became promi- neni laa January when the execu- tive committee reconsidered it's act ion in electing to membership Will liam H. Lewis, United States assist ant attorney general, on the ground that such ac ion had been taken "in ignorance Of material facts" The fact: were that Lewis was a negro. Later it was discovered that Butler R. Wilson and William R. Morris of Minnesota had been elected members under the same misapprehension, the report says, and their cases were handled as was that of Lewis.
 The committee in it's report de- clines to recede from the stand thus taken, but explains that the status of these three men as candidates for membership remains unimpaired and submits the whole question to the as- seciation. Attorney General Wicker sham came to the aid of Lewis when membership first was denied him and made a personal appeal to the 5.700 members of the erganization, The at torney general declared that Lewis was legally elected and the commft-

Archbold of the Standard Oil Company in 1904.
 He declared that Judge Alton B. Parker had not charged that Roose- vel's campaign funds had been bol- stered up by he trusts, but he said that Parker's charge was that the monies had been improperly received m return for threats or promises made to the trusts. He denied the accusation as he denied it in 1904. He said there was at that time no jaw against corporations contribute ing to campaigns and that. corpota- tions did contribute to MT.
