FABRIC HOSE COMPANY AGENT MAKES OFFER THAT WILL

Claims He Will Sell for Less, Give Long Credit, and Furnish a Guar antee for Durable Service.

The hose problem of the city is settled if a proposal made vest erday by an agent of the Fabric Hose com pany to George W. HOusley of the Board of Public Affairs. is made in good faith, and is acceptable to the city administration.
 This company offers to sell the city fire hose a. 10 per cent less than the city has been paying, extend a credit of several years, suitable to the purchasing ability of the city, and furnish a guarantee of the goods sold as 10 durability and service.
 Certainly that answers .he ques- ton as to whether the city can pur- chase fire hose or not
 The city. has but 1000 feet of fire hose While that may appear suf- ficient for a fire, yet fires may recur before the hose used in one is taken out and dried and properly arranged for another. It is stated that city of the size of Hot Springs would have none too much hose if l5,0O0 feet was available at all times.

BIXBY B[ACkMAIL
 SUIT IS IN COURT
WITNESS TESTIFiES Bix6Y GAVE HER SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS
 IN SIX WEEKS.
Her Cross-Examinato so Severe That She Paints on the Witness Stand.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 1S.-Geo H. BiNby's attempt to prove that he was a victim of blackmaiers was begun today at the trial of the Long Branch millionaire, charged with having contributed to the delin- quency of two minor girls.
 After Cleo Helen Barker, one of tho girls, had completed her testi- mony, the defense began cross-ex- animation which was so severe that Miss Barker tainted when she left the witness stand. On direct exami. nation she testified that after having been a cafeteria waiter she had met BiXby several times early last winter ata resort known as the Jonquil the proprietor of which, Emma Good man, alias Josie Rosenberg, is now serving a. year in the county jail She declared BiXby had been intro duced to her as MT. King. Pointing to Bixby in the court room, she said he was the man. She had received, she said, approximately 5000 and 6pih tiOSo anu cldlii lIOIl llil uuIluS six weeks acquaintance.
 On oss-eXamination the girl ad- mitted she had been given $500 by BiXby on representing 70 him that she wanted 10 get married, and had received other sums flor a trip east" and for clothing, accounting in that way for nearly the entire 5000 That part of the questioning over, Attor- ney Lecompte Davis, for the defense, abruptly asked her:
 Did you not talk over with Attor- neys w. H. Stevens and Chas. Me Kelyey plans for obtaining money from men who frequented the Jon quil?"
 T don't remember" answered the witness.
 Did they never suggest to you to get the names of the wealthy men who visited that resort. telling you money could ga got from them?'
 T don't remember"
 Davis tried vainly to make her ad- nit there had been such a plot as one after another he spoke the names of men prominent in the law, the arts and business.
 Cross-eXamination of Miss Barker will be resumed tomorrow.

HARRY THAW ENJOYS
 A REAL "l0Y RIDE"
SHERIFF TAKES HIM FOR LONG SPIN IN COUNTRY ADJACENT
 TO CONCORD.

Concord, N. H., Sept 1S.-'This has been the most enjoyable day l have had in years. said Harry k. Thaw as he returned from a long au- tomobile ride in the country today. The outing was arranged by Sheriff Drew who has Thaw in custody pending the outcome of the eXtradi- ,ion hearing before Governor Felker next Tuesday.
 Accompanied by the sheriff and his assistant, newspaper men and pho kographers, Thaw was cheered by a crowd as the party left the hotel. The automobile whirled out of the city through the village of PeGacook, l2 miles distant, to BOscawan. There the inviting fields stretching alond- side the state boulevard attracted Thaw. who got down to stretch his legs with Police Officer Stevens as his escort. Thaw for over two miles hit up a pace that forced Stevens to do his best to keep up. When they climbed back into the car Thaw cheeks had a healthy flush and he was in better condition apparently as to wind, than was his guardian,
 This has made me reel like going 10 bed early and getting a good sleep." said Thaw when he got back But before carrying out that part oi the program he went over with ms lawyers the results of their all-dal search in the lawbooks of the state library for precedents bearing on inc extradition proce adings before Gov ernor Felker next Tuesday.
 Mail for Thaw and his counsel ant communication to Governor Felkel concerning the case continue to poui in in great quantities. Otherwise there seems to ba a lull in proceed | ings so far as surface lndlcailoil ] show.

Washington, Sept. lS-United States secret service officials today reported to Secretary McAdoo that they were convinced after investiga- ton thata the $10 and $20 counter felt gold certificates which have been extensively circulated in New Eng land were not the work of Hans Schmidt, priest and confessed mur- derar and counterfeiter under arrest in New York. The report by Acting Chief Moran expressed the belief that Schmidt had not circulated any spu- rious notes and that his counterfeit- ing operations were in the eXperi- mental stage
