could, sue for recovery of these
 amounts if paid illegally, and recover
 on his bond for the borough. He did
 not seem to realize, however, that this
 Slale or affairs could only happen be-
 cause of the peculiar state of relation
 snip between the two contracting par
 tles, as the official list of borough of
 hcers at any time in the past five
 years would answer as a roll call for
 the corps of Water Company officers.
 By this time caution seemed to pre-
 dominate and the treasurers report
 was held back temporarily, while the
 Water Company officials told their hard-luck story-how much it cost to equip the plant, the cost of mainten- ance and the ingratitude of the people whom they sought to help. This whine was soon stopped by Objector Corbett pOintedly reminding the chief spolxes- man of the Water Company through the chair that this meeting was a Dor ough meeting and not a Water Com pany meeting, so a further chapter of the dire discouragements in the path of this local monopoly was not recit- ed
 It was now getting towards il o'clock, the latest hour at which the meeting closes under the charter, and many of the mere taxpayers had gone home The cohorts of water were getting a little uncertain, the attorney of the company was not at hand, and the op- QOS1ttOn naQ SnOWh up I101f g1aringly and every moment this ar- of the company before the bar of public opinion of the borough by the antis was becoming more and more irksome, so after a hasty confab the steering committee of the water gave the word, and ad- journmeht was had to Saturday, May S1, next, when the business of the bor ough warning will be carried out.
 Although it was a strenuous fore noon's work and the crowd departed without waiting to hear the vote read 1 by the mod orator of the election, Town Clerk Oscar Pftzsch1er, was obliged to and the hall janitor only. In the | meantime both sides are preparing for the fray three weeks hence, and it | looks like at this writing victory for the advocates of a lower price for | public water and a short term con tract for the same which the people will make under the charter.

j. Ham Lewis Has
Close Call; Nearly
Arrested as Thief

CHICAGO, oct 29.-Nearly every
man, woman and child knows the
front elevation of United States Sem
ator James Hamilton Lewis. Very
many persons might not be able to
recognize him If only his back was
seen. Five policemen did not recog-
nize the solons back and that's why
he was nearly "pinched" for being a
robber.
Senator Lewis had gone into a tele-
phone booth upon his arrival at a
Chic&go railroad station. A detective
saw him enter and thought his back
resembled that of the man he hal
been assigned to arrest. He called
four other detectives.
Senator Lewis had great difficul.y
in getting his number. The detectives
figured he was rifling the telephone
coin box.
They saw him emerge-backward
from the phone booth. They ap-
preached nearer. Senator Lewis
smiled at the five sleuths. They rec
ognized him and retreated.

REFLECT OLD
OFFICERS
John R. Wilkinson Only Albanian
Holding Grand Lodge Place.
Colding Grand Master.

MACON, Oct. 29.-Robert l.. Cold
ing, a Savannah lawyer was to-day
reelected grand master of the Grand
Lodge of Masons of Georgia, receiving
an unanimous vote. There was some
talk during the morning of nominal
ting Past Grand Master Max Meyer
hardt, of Rome, for the office, but Mr.
Meyerhardt himself discouraged the
movement. All of the other officers
were reelected, practically without
opposition. n. II. Ballard, of Bruins
wick is deputy grand master. John
r. Wilkinson of Atlanta, was re-
elected senior grand deacon, Atlantas
only officer in the Grand Lodgs.
The Masons We're formally assured
to-day by the State fair officials that
the dates for the fair next year will
not conflict with the Masonic gather
ing.
The Grand Lodge adjourned this
afternoon.
The State headquarters for all Of
the Masonic bodies of Georgia will
remain permanently in Macon.
The resolution providing for a
change in the constitution of the
Grand Lodge so as to permit the as
sembly of Masons in other cities in
the State was defeated in the Grand
Lodge. in session here, after a spir-
tied contest, by a vote in the ratio of
twenty to one. More than 1900 dele
gates voted.
Judge A. w. Fite, of Gainesville;
]. K. Orr, Of Atlanta; Past Grand
Master Vale, of Dalton. and other
prominent North Georgia Masons
made a determined contest in sup
port Of the resolution. Max Meyer
hardt, of Rome, who introduced the
resolution last year, made a brief ad-
dress in which he withdrew his advo-
cacy of the proposition. and declared
in favor of the headquarters continu-
ing in Macon. Thomas H. Jeffries, of
Atlanta, also advocated Macon as the
permanent home for the Masons, as
this city has been for more than 10
years
This means that the new Masonic
Temple will be built in Macon on a
lot purchased several years ago. The
building committee will probably be
authorized to-day by the Grand Lodge
to secure plans.
The Grand Lodge adjourned this
afternoon.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 29.-Charge
d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy to-day de-
manded from Foreign Minister Mohe-
no an explanation of. the arrest of
Leopold Blum, an American citizen,
at Vera Cruz. When Blum arrived
here he was thrown into a dirty cell,
but as soon as the American official
began inquiries us to the cause of the
prisoners arrest he was given lighter
and cleaner quarters.
Apparently the only charge against
Blum is that he is friend of Felix
Diaz, and unless more formal charges
are made, his release will be de-
handed
The foreign diplomats keeping close
watch on developments are puzzled
by an announcement from the Foreign
Ministry that if the ticket headed by
Generals Huerta and Banquet was
successful'in the Presidential election,
Huerta's name can be thrown out by
Congress and Banquet declared Pres
ldent
Such action would be violation of
the constitution, which provides that
the President must be native Mex
lean. Banquet was born in Spain.
There is no doubt that the Huerta-
Banquet ticket has swept the coun-
try. 1t carried the States of Tlax-
Gala, Jalisco, Guerrero, Mexico, Guam
ajuato, Campeche, Chiapas, Morelos
and Queretaro.
Reports are reaching here that the
Serrano Indians in Oaxaca are on the
warpath and are committing bloody
depredations. War Minister Banquet
said he would send troops against
them if the southern rurales We're I'M
able to subdue them.
