WILSON ODDS
 ARE UP 4 TO 1
BETTING TALENT CONVINCED OF DEMOCRATIC SWEEP THROUGH
 THE COUNTRY.

aNew York, Oct. S.--Tammany money appeared in Wall Street to be placed on Wilson at long odds yes terday. A Curb broker announced that he had $4,000 to place on Will son at odds of to 1. Since the con- ventions there has been some small betting, mostly in $1o0 and $500 amounts, and, although several tim es $5,Ooe, and even $1o,O00, was being offered, the money was not forth coming when offers appeared for parts
 The fact that the money offered yesterday at to 1 came from con tractor who is close to Tammany led the wise-acres among the betting men to surmise that Tammany had lost any lingering doubts of Wilson's sue
 Eek Lane, the Curb cigar man, who before the anti-betting laws were passed was the stakeholder for most of the betting done in the outside market, gave it as his opinion yester-- day that the Tammany crowd had found that their friends in the Re publican and Progressive ranks were conceding Wilson's election.
 Another indication that the betting talent was convinced of a Wilson sweep was an offer to bet his plurality, and one Broad Street man offered to bet 1 to that Wilson would and Roosevelt combined.
 Betting on the State election, too, iivened up yesterday; sulzer was quoted at to 1 and Strauss at even money to run second or better Fred SchunlTn, who used to be known as a stakeholder in Brooklyn, passed out word from his Stone Street cafe that he had money to get against Sulzer at 1 to 8. A man with $500 hurried down from the Curb to take the bet but found that, while the odds were up. The man with $500 wasn't will ing to split.

COMMON COUNCIL HAS BRIEF BUT
 BUSY SESSION
False Economy of Administra- ton Comes Strikingly
 to Light

Mayor Wilson pulled and hauled on the strings of the city money bags when he first went into office so as to keep down the tax rate. Now the council meeting last night Director Courtade of the Public Works depart mentt sent in a report which shows that in one item of expense in this de- partment there is going to be a deficit of $10,000- The Board of Selectpnen also indicated that it's appropriation was made altogether too small for practical or reasonable purposes. This board submitted a petition for an ex- tra appropriation of $50 with which to make voters this year.
 Other deficiencies are expected and it is beginning to become apparent that the mayors great claims about political effect. The public is paying just as much, and more, in the long run. The mayor showed his displeas- ure over the deficit when he slammed the report down upon his desk, after it had been referred to the Ways and Means committee.
 The referendum is again sought by the present administration at the No- Yember election. The Fire board sent a conl1n}11lication to the Council last night asking that the voters be given a chance to decide whether to have $85. 900 bonds issued for the purpose of securing 9 new fire headquarters and a manual fire alarm system The
  The communication went to the Mis- cellaneOus comm ttee.
 The council convened at SIS last night and adjourned at 9:25. During the time it was in session it got away with a good deal of routine business, held a few public hearings and con- sidered one of two special matters. There wasn't anything of great inn pOrtance transacted.
 Petitions were submitted by Frank w Miller asking for relief from a cesspool nuisance on Harvard street The matter was referred to the Board of Health. the nuisance being in the first district. Mrs. Frank Lowe, widow of the bicycle policeman who was husband had not been a member of the police department long enough to receive assistance from the departmen pension. The petition was referred to the Ordinance committee.
 The selectnen petitioned for $50 ex tra appropriation which that board needs to make voters this year. The Means committee. That committee, however, in a report submitted last night stated that it had no money in sight to pay for other expenses
 The Logan Bros. filed a petition to build over the Main street building line, 20 inches for 35 feet, at the cor ner of Main and North Washington avenue. The petition was referred to the Streets and Sidewalks committee.
 One man appeared in favor of the petition for the acceptance of HouS- ton street, which was given hearing. He stated that there was considerable traffic on the street, which was laid out CT years ago, though never ac- cepted. He wanted the street ac-

 The claim is that Bastore. who was on the outside, worked through a. clerk in a government prison Tn Ma ples Italy The clerk, it is said, got are used in the pardOntng of pr1S- oners who had been sentenced for tore. it is claimed. filled the papers sn and signed to them the name of the pardoning officer, and as a resul he succeeded in getting six men re- ed papers, receiving $15o from the friends of each man ''pardoned-"- The April Bastore came to this country on June 5 and on September Il he was arrested in Bridgeport.

London, Oct. s-Montenegro declared war against Turkey, today, according to despatch from Cettinje, the Montenegrin capital, to Reuters News Agency. Heavy fighting was report ed on the Turko- Montenegrin iron tier
 Montenegro's reported declaration of hostilities against the Sultan is espe- eia1ly serious because, as most diplom- ats believe it will now be impossible for the powers to prevent Bulgaria. Servia and Greece from following the little kingdom's example. Indeed were Ferdinand. of Bulgaria, to hesi- tate in supporting his ally, it would probably cost him his throne and perhaps his life.
 Montenegro alone would hardly be more than an annoyance to Turkey It's population is about 250,000- As fighters, they have such reputation that even so powerful country as Austria has hesitated to invade their little country where, among their na- tive mountains, waglng a guerrilla campaign, it is agreed they. would be practically unconquerab1e. For sue cessful war of OffenSe, however, there are too few of them.

COUNCIL ENDORSES
 WORK OF TROLLEY iMPR0vEME ENT ASSN

The Consolidated Trolley Improves ment association, which is the out growth of a committee appointed by the Common council of this city ,o work toward securing concessions from the trolley company, means business. This new association takes in every city and town in the state where trolleys are operated and pro- poses a sturdy, steady. strong fight to secure desired improvements from street railway companies. It's Mem bership is made up of city officials.
 That the association proposes to do things is shown by report read at night, in which were stated some of the bills proposed for the coming state legislature. The bills that are to be put before the state legislature evoked a good deal of discussion on the part of the council members, before the re- port was finally endorsed by unani- nous vote.
 Alderman John E. Lyddy chairman of the special committee which set about securing the six-fares-for-a- quarter concession from the local trol- had worked hard. A good deal Of the work had been left to the city clerk and himself, other members of the committee not showing much interest, but nevertheless a good deal had been accomplished He then asked for the endorsement of the report and the town and city in the state where a trolley company operate, suffers from the abuse of privileges on the part of the trolley people. The Consolidated Trolley association will meet Oct. 26
 Alderman Robert G. DeForest thought the council should endorse the report as it would surely do no harm and might do some good. He thought the bills as proposed would put a crimp in the Public Utilities commis sion, at any rate. and thus give the city control over it's own streets
 Alderman William s. Primrose ap- proved of most of the things pro- posed in the report but didn't like the one which tries to prevent overcroWd- ing of the trolley ears. He thought the company would then have to operate so many additional cars as to make them a nuisance and other traffic would have to cease.
 Alderman Paul G. Miller thought as Alderman Primrose did, to a big e7E- tent The proposition however had many meritorious points, he agreed He didn't think the Utilities commis- sion should be crippled though and be IegisIated out of office just as it was getting it's work started
 Alderman F'red'k. CederhOlm thought that It should be made misdemeanOr for the trolley company to overcrowd cars He said he has yet to learn of any good that the Utilities commis- sion has done anyone except the trOl- ley companies and corporations.
 Alderman E. E.. Garlick thought it a shame to overcrowd trolley cars.
