tlon.

Yesterday Was Pay Day for City EN-.
ployes, but They Did Not
Have to Wait for
Their Money,

For short time yesterday the city
employees were wondering whether or
not they were facing a financial crisis.
Their worry was caused by the fact
that the city was busted and yes
terday was pay day. But the city made
a touch and the city employees are
happy and have their pockets full OF
the "spondulix" that makes the mare
go.
Yesterday was the first time in the
citys history since the commission
plan of government was adopted, that
1t became necessary to borrow money.
When the city's financial condition
was mentioned to the commissioners
yesterday, In connection with the day
being the one on which the employees
are paid. the commissioners got busy
and passed a resolution authorizing
the city to issue time warrants for
$4,000. This was done. the State
Central Savings bank offering to ac.
cept the warrants. The warrants are
payable October Is.
The financial shortage of the city liz
explained by the city commissioners as
being due to the heavy expense incur
red in city improvements, which work
started early last spring and which il
still under way. 1t is figured that the
balance of the taxes due the city will
relieve the situation as soon as they
are paid.

At no time should people more close

than during hot weather. Summer
conditions contribute in various WAYS
to cause constipation, but whatever
the cause the trouble should be quick
y corrected; constipation, If neglect
ed, leads directly to serious. and Of

some people find that certain fruits
have laxative effect, but this cannot
be depended upon; a mild laxative
tonic that will act gently and posi-
lively, without gripping or shock to the
system Is far preferable. The com
pound of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin known as Dr. Caldwells Sy.
rup OF Pepsin, is highly recommended
as being easy and natural in action
pleasant to the taste, and certain in
its effect. A dose OF Syrup Pepsin at
night will restore normal action in the
morning, carrying off the heayiness
and bloat. Salts, purgative waters
and cathartics should be avoided, as
they upset the entire system and af
ford at best but temporary relief. By
cleansing the bowels and removing
the foreign matter that irritates and
inflames the tissues, a spoonful Of
Syrup Pepsin will quickly check the
summer diarrhoea that is so weaken

sold by druggists for fifty cents a
bottle, the larger family size costing
one dollar. A free trial bottle can be
obtained, postpaid by writing to DR.

Some results are attributed to luck
for which nerve and good Judgment

needed no rest or vacation so he be-
gan to look around for safe and sane
place to invest 1t, that it might be

productive region just below Warsaw
in Illinois. They had had no rain
there for some time, the wheat and
other grain was suffering and the hay
was burning up, or that was the COM
plant.
Mr.. Fry looked the fields over, dubi-
ously OF course, In the presence OF the
owners. He was anxious, inwardly
but SLOW to dicker. He wanted ankle
ty to sell on the part of the owners to
| overlap his desire to buy. He dicker-
ed and bought. not only the land but

Fry is not timid and his judgment is
not loose. He bought, not at high
price but at dry weather prices.
For about a month Harrie R. Col
Inns of this city, attorney for Fry, has
been examining titles and preparing
for final transfer from the former
owners to Mr.. Fry. The task of Mr.
Collins has just concluded and Mr.

Whitley LOUIS
GETS THIRD DEGREE
Another Gambler Gunman is Telling
What He Knows About Rosen-
thai Murder.

UNITED Press Leased Wire service.l
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-"Whitey'
Lewis, real name Frank Siedenshue,
was closeted with Deputy Police Com
missioner Dougherty and Inspector
Hughes of the detective bureau today.
Lewis is the second Of the gang
charged with being the actual murder
ers of Herman Rosenthal, gambler, to
be arrested having been captured in
the hills of Ulster county late yester-
day.
'Dago Frank" Cirocisi, has been a
prisoner since last week. Dougherty
and Hughes were confident today that
they would have the other two accus-
ed in custody shortly and with that
end in view subjected Lewis to a
bristling third degree while score of
the best men in the department were
hustled 70 the Catskill mountain re-
sorts. 1t is now race between the
private detectives of the district at
torney's office and the regular police
to capture the actual murderers. Whit
man has made it very plain that he
does not believe the police have been
on the level in their search and his
officers are trying hard to get the
missing men.
Because of this Commissioner Wal
do has let it be known that if regular
police do not turn up the wanted
criminals, number of heads will
drop.
Meanwhile District Attorney Whit
man is preparing tn case against Po-
lice Lieutenant Becker, charged with
the instigation of the Rosenthal muir
der. He laid great stress today on
the admission by Attorney Hart, coun-
sci for the indicted policemen, that he
had been in communication with Rose
after the murder. This admission on
the stand Whitman believes will make
material the evidence of his chief wit
nesses, Rose, Weber and WALTON. He
also believes that he will be able to
show that some one besides Becker
was responsible for Harris call on the
badly wanted gambler at the home of
Harry Pollock. Whitman stated to.
day that the investigation of the po-
lice graft charges would be sidetrack-
ed as much as possible until they had
case against the men involved in
the murder of Rosenthal He declar-
ed that he expected to have the actual
murderer in custody very soon and
that he would then try to force their
trial just as soon as the criminal
courts resumed business for the ses-
sions.
Whitley Lewis laughed at the police
men who brought him from Kingston
to this city today. He told them that
when they arrested him, instead OF
being enroute west as they phoned the
local headquarters, he was coming
from Fleischmann's to Kingston to
surrender himself as all of the chief
actors in the case have done. He
said he was not even in New York
when the killing took place and that
he had an ironclad alibi that he can
also account for all of his movements
by respectable residents of Ulster
county. When searched less than
dollar was reported to have been
found in his pocket. He was kept on
the grill for hours by the police Off
