ARMORY TO :.
BE- RAISED
OFFICIALS DECIDE TO RAISE
BUILDING 1S INCHES.
DECLARE site TO BE IDEAL
Adj. Gen. Finer and State Architect
Knighton in the City Wednesday
Afternoon Looking After the Erec-
ton of State Building.

Adjutant General FINER and State
Architect w. c. Knighton arrived in
the city Wednesday forenoon on bus
mess connected with the building of
the armory in this city. General
FINER, in speaking to a Tidings rep
resentative, stated that the armory
to be erected in this city was by far
the most complete in the state and
one that would reflect great credit
on both state and city. The matter
of raising the building was taken up
with the gentlemen and it was de-
cided that it was practical to raise
the level of the entire building about
IS inches. The question of steps out
to the street precluded any greater
elevation. They also expressed
themselves as we'll pleased with the
location, regarding it as ideal.
The gentlemen, after looking over
the matter thoroughly, definitely de-
cided to raise the building Is inches
thus bringing the first floor about
that much above the street level or
B street
General FINER left on the evening
train for Roseburg, where he goes tc
take over the ground for the new
armory at that place. Mr.. Knightor
took the same train for Portland.
General FINER stated that it would
probably take six months to complete
the armory porviding the weather re
mained such that it was safe to dC
teh concrete work this fall. If not
the entire work will have to be post
poned until spring.

Mausoleum Matter Is Laid Over.

The city council made short work
ing referred the request of the pro-
motors for a site for a mausoleum
in Mountain View cemetery to COM
mittee consisting of Councilmen But
Ter and Cunningham, with authority
to consult an attorney and have such
lease or deed drawn up as seemed
wise. City Recorder Hurt declared
that the city could not legally deed
any portion of the cemeteries even
for burial purposes and that all such
deeds were illegal because of recent
change in the charter. He holds that
the cemeteries are part of the park
system and cannot be alienated.

WANT fire
AUTO TRUCK
FIRE DEPARTMENT PETITIONS
COUNCIL FOR ONE.
ALSO WANT One PAID MAN
Fire Boys Believe That City Should
Dispose of Two Trucks and Get
One AutO-AlsO Should Have Man
at Central Hose House All the Time

There was petition presented to
the city council at their regular
meeting Tuesday requesting radical
changes in fire-fighting methods in
Ashland The petition came from
the fire boys themselves and was
formulated at a meeting of the de-
partment held last week. The sub
stance of the petition is that the city
should dispose of the two hose trucks
now owned by the department and
secure one auto truck, and also hire
one man who should be on duty at
all times and sleep at the central
hose house. They further recon-
mend that all fire alarms be tele-
phoned in and that the man at the
central hose house turn in the alarm.
This they believe would greatly in
crease the efficiency of the force.
Their plan also includes the consoi-
dation of the present two companies
into one strong company. The petit
tion also asked that 500 feet moer
hose be purchased if the auto truck
was bought and 1000 feet if the
present trucks were retained The
petition also requested an increase
in the pay of firemen.
The communication was referred
Ito the fire and water committee.

ders Walk On Petition of Prop

BRIDE ARRESTED AT ALTAR.
Wealthy Husband Disowns Her When
He Hears Forgery Charge.

Perth Amboy, N. j., Aug. 23.-As
she was leaving the First Baptist
church of this city after her mar
riage, Mrs. Mary Pfeiffer King, was
arrested yesterday on a charge of
forgery, and is now locked up in the
local police station. The complain
ant is Charles X. Seaman, treasurer
of he Perth Amboy Savings Institu-
ton, who accuses the woman of OBJ
tanning 800 on a forged order.
According to Seaman, the woman,
who until her marriage today was
Miss Mary Pfeiffer presented an order
which purported to be signed by An
thone Haberkorn, whose wife she rep
resented herself to be. She sax af-
ter her arrest she wanted the money
to purchase the trousseau for her
wedding today. When her husband,
Paul King, a wealthy resident of
South Amboy, heard the charge
against his bride, he disowned her
and refused to bail her out. With
out his assistance she was unable to
obtain a bondsman and was commit
ed for examination in default of
$1,000. King is 65 years old, while
his bride is only 50.

BAD ROADS CAUSE PROTEST.
Mr.. Law Wants To Know How White
Mountains Taxes Are Spent.

Jefferson, ~ H., Aug pa petit
ton complaining of the condition of
the roads in this neighborhood and
asking for better facilities for reach
ing the points of scenic interest in
this vicinity has been drawn by Wal
ted W. Law, cottage owner here,
signed by thirty of the Summer col
ony, and forwarded to the state COM
missioner of roads in Concord.
In the petition it is pointed out
that through the surrounding town
ships in the White Mountains having
good roads, the residents of Jefferson
are practically cut off from the near
by scenic attractions by the poor con-
dition of the roads and that the prop
erty values are greatly decreased as
result. The petitioner is led to
wonder in what direction his taxes
are expended, since they obviously
do not go toward better roads.
Mr.. Law is the founder of the Briar-
cliff Farms, and has been a leading
spirit in the movement for good
roads in Westchester county
