IN POLICE COURT

Although he pleaded for another
chance, in which to prove his inde-
pendence of intoxicating drinks, and
although he declared that he would
leave the city, William McGee was
this morning fined $40 and costs on
the charge of public intoxication. Nc
Gee has been arrested on several prev
ious occasions, but each time has
promised not to reappear in police
court on a similar charge.
When McGee declared that if re-
leased, he would leave the city, the
mayor was inclined to give him AN
other chance" But upon second
thought, the court decided to impose
a fine.
Thomas Hutchinson was fined IS
and costs on the charge of public in
decency.
Upon the charge of public intoxica-
tion, Dan Schools and Charles Con-
ley were each fined 81 and costs.
A hearing will be given Ed Ander-
son and Bob Devinney, in police
court tomorrow morning on the charge
of selling liquor unlawfully.

WILL ERADICATE
COTTON WOOD TREES

War is again to be declared on the
soft southern cotton wood trees. The
recent order issued by the board of
works to property owners to cut
down the trees because they send out
so many small rootlets that water and
sewer pipes are clogged by their rami-
fications, did not have the desired ef-
feet.
The board of works will ask the city
council to pass an ordinance compell-
ing property owners to cut down the
trees, and providing fine for viola
tons The recommendation is the re-
suit of an investigation of the clogging
of sewer pipe in the alley north of
G street between North Eleventh and
Twelfth streets. The eighteen inch
sewer pipes had become clogged from
an accumulation of roots. The pres
ent ordinance regulating trees gives
the city board of works power to cut
down undesirable trees.

CITY council DISCUSSES
STREETS MONDAY EVENING

for, and that council need not take
action on the matter.
Councilman Won Pein stated the new
ordinance presented to take the place
of the present joint pole agreement
ordinance which is not agreeable to
the city is no improvement over the
old one. He said the new measure did
not protect the city as much as did the
old ordinance. He recommended that
the old ordinance be left in force un-
til better one is substituted.
The street department received criti-
cism from practically every council
man present, for not moving faster in
repairing the streets of the city. May
or Zimmerman promised relief.
Makes Complaint.
Councilman Burdsall complained of
a bad sidewalk on State street, and
weeds on Charles street, part of which
he said had been recently cut by the
property owners. Councilman King
wants a macadam roadway on North
F street where cement sidewalks and
cutters have been made. Councilman
Evans presented petition for an arc
On third reading every councilman
present voted against improving
South G street from Sixth to Seventh
street, with sidewalks, curbs and brick
streets.
Favors Black Paving.
In a speech to council last evening
Councilman Weishaupt asked that the
board Of works allow other improved
streets than brick to be used in Rich
mond. Mayor Zimmerman declared in
favor of brick, but the councilman
from the Sixth ward is going to put
Cne over on the Mayor" AS an expert
ment he will ask the board of works to
grant him permission to put creosoted
wooden block in the street in front of
his house and as soon as he gets per
mission from the board, will try out
this paving which has never been CIV
en- a trial here.
Favor Revocation.
The dissatisfaction with which coun-
Gil regards the efforts of the street car
company to remedy existing evils in
the car system here was apparent at a
discussion of eight councilmen before
the regular session last evening. Six
of the members favored an immediate
revocation of the company's franchise.
It. was pointed out that the company
is going to send new winter cars, is
reballasting it's lines, expects to run
it's interurban freight cars down
North Twentieth street and take the
tracks out of the Glen soon and make
other changes.
From the temper of councilmen dis
played in this discussion it appeared
that the franchise of the Terre Haute
Indianapolis and Eastern traction COM
pany is hanging by very slender
thread.

A resolution providing that all mon
vehicle checks hereafter be placed in
u special fund for the permanent i'm
mously passed by the common council
last night. 1t is expected that nearly
$4,000 will be received this year, and
enough of this sum will be used to pay
the city's share on the improvement
by bricking of Main street from
Fourth to the bridge. North Third
street will be the next street improved
from the proceeds of this fund.
After spirited discussion on the ad-
visibility of paying DR.. ]. E. King,
this city, to represent the city at the
international congress of hygiene and
demography at Washington this
month, council refused to appropriate
money for the purpose. DR.. King in
sisted that the city pay his expenses.
The council committee has sent pic
lures and maps of Richmond, but will
not send a representative.
Promises New Bridge.
Mayor Zimmerman sprang a surprise
when he said that a new bridge over
the small branch passing under the
eastern driveway from Main street
would soon be placed there. He refus-
ed to say how or when, but stated that
when the time comes the bridge will
be forthcoming"
When Councilman Williams asked if
two road rollers instead of one should
not be used by the city, councilmen
went on a wordy rampage regarding
the streets of the city.
Councilman Vessel asked for an Or
dinance prohibiting interurban cars
coming into the city to discharge pas
sengers on the Main street at Eighth
and Main street, holding this to be
traffic at that point. He recommended
requesting the car company to have
the cars stop on South Eighth street,
around the corner. The city attorney
will take up the matter with the car
officials.
Private Meeting Tonight.
Mayor Zimmerman then announced
to the council that private meeting
of the council and the board of works
would be held Wednesday evening.
Mayor Zimmerman stated he believed
the council and board could decide up
on the remaining provisions of the pro-
posed waterworks contract and make
such headway that the board of works
could complete the legal steps and ad-
vertise for bids Thursday, or early
next week.
Mayor Zimmerman informed council
that S. w. Jordan, newly elected men,
ber of the school board, had notified
his that his bond $250,0O0 as treasurer
of the school board, had been arranged

by the interests that do not want the
laws written on the statute books.
To bring about these great changes
we need a great man, and we have d
great leader-Theodore Roosevelt.
Roosevelt the Man.
"Roosevelts record is one that
shows that he has the experience and
the power to do great things. l was
in the senate when the great forward
movement in America politics began.
He put through the commerce and la
Dor commission, the great railroad
law of 1906, the pure food law, the
meat inspection law and the conserva-
tion law
I'VE got through the railroad law
OF 1906 only after months of the most
desperate fighting and after all the
republican and democratic senators
owned by the special interests at

failed had it not been that the Ameri-
can people had friend in the white
house.
Drove Out Lobby.
Then came the Panama canal fight.
The lobby of the transcontinental rail
roads was the most powerful organiza-
tion of it's kind in Washington. 1t was
active day and night, for the great
transportation companies feared that
the digging of the canal would cut
down freight rates. In six months
Roosevelt drove that lobby out and
began the canal"
And he will open it, too" exclaim-
ed an interested delegate.
"Why not?" was the rejoined of
Beveridge.
IF you believe in party affiliations,
and think that you cannot leave the
republican party for that reason, tell
me, how long would it have taken Taft
to get the canal measure through con-
gress?"
"A generation" yelled one hearer
er.
Has No Precedent.
Continuing his review of Roosevelts
achievements, Beveridge maintained
that Roosevelts action in stopping the
Russo-Japanese war marked him one
of the worlds great men. Roosevelt
was enough OF an American to make
Il precedent in that case and carry it
out to glorious finish. Nowhere in
history was there a precedent of a
power interfering in a war between
two powerful nations. But Roosevelt
in the name of our great nation and
of humanity demanded that the war
cease That act is enough to make
his name sure on the scroll Of history"
Beveridge closed his address by in
voking the spirit of Morton and Lin
coin over the county and state. "Over
our broad land is walking the spirit
OF Lincoln to lead us not to destroy
but to build and to make this nation
the great nation God ordained it to
