, the object OF an association Of merchant:
along the street who held their second
meeting yesterday. The organization ID
to be known as the Seventh street Mer'
chants Association.
At the meeting in the Chamber OF
Commerce rooms yesterday publicity
committee was completed and the organi.
zation of the association completed. Nc
plans for future action were adopted
although several received approval of the
majority of the sixty business men pres
ent.
AS explained BY Harry W.. Hahn
chairman Of the publicity committee, peo-
pie of the city are to be thoroughly i'm
pressed with the fact that every variety
Of business conducted in the District Is
to be found on Seventh street above
Pennsylvania avenue. Mr.. Hahn also
declares that nearly three-fourths Of the
trading in the business district OF the
city, Is done with Seventh street mer-
chants. 30
Several plans for educating the people
in that respect We're proposed. One of
the most original was suggested by. Jo-
SSPh oSt ocitSas VIM VIVIAN tioNS = "SSn-
ly publication announcing news in the
way of trade specialties, bargains and
the like. The idea met with the hearty
approval Of most Of those present. An
other scheme is to have all the mer-
chants aim their advertising weapons at
a certain day each week, when special
sales and bargains will be featured. A
Seventh street carnival late in the sea-
son was another idea suggested.
The meeting was intensely interesting
for all the merchants present. Practi-
cally all of the store proprietors above
Pennsylvania avenue to X street have
signified their intention Of joining the
association and cooperating in every
way. Foreseeing their possibilities in the
way of developing the business OF the
thoroughfare it was decided to remove
the limit Of X street on the north, ex-
tending the advantages of the organiza-
ton TO all merchants along the street
above Pennsylvania avenue.
The next meeting of the association
was set for July II. The publicity COM
mittee, to hold its first meeting tomor-
row, is composed of Harry w. Hahn, Of
William Hahn Company, chairman; ID.

the fact that the charges made by

AUDITOR OBJECTS

Assistant State Auditor NJ G. Nc
Intosh has just completed an exam

fees of Volusia county, and his port
was submitted by Governor Tram
nell to the board of county commits
Monday evening.
The auditor found that s. d. Pea
cock, when serving as county game
warden, had collected 1880 as fees
where Jail sentences had been served
instead of fines paid by offenders
against the game and fish laws, and
that Charles Jones had been paid
$713 under like conditions. The at
torney general has held that the pay
ment of these fees was illegal and
the auditor demanded the return Of
Both Mr.. Peacock and Mr. Jones have
refused to return the money unless
so ordered by court of competent
Jurisdiction. Governor Trammell in
a supplemental communication to the
board suggested that that body make
formal demand for the return of
the money and If the demand is not
complied with the attorneys for the
board were authorized to commence
suit
The auditor found some objection
to the sheriff's accounts, particularly
where mileage had been charged for
bringing prisoners from beyond the
confines of the state and these al
legged overcharges have been re-
turned to the county treasurer by
Sheriff Smith. This leaves the sher-

Upon examination of the Sheriff s
Office from the beginning of his pres

from the court house to certain points
within the county is greater by rail
than by the public road; that from
time immemorial mileage has been
reckoned and charged for according
to the railroad mileage, while IL is

The beauty of plain sewing lies in
hiding the stitches - the beauty of
embroidery nearly always lies in the
stitches themselves. The object of the
embroiderer should be to express form
and lay on color in stitches so regular

selves be objects of admirati ton.
The beginner in embroidery should

CORNELL s CLEANUP
IS COURTNEY VICTORY
Leland Stanford University Is Dark
Horse; Came in Second
Yesterday

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, June 20.
Charles e. Courtney is once more the
grand old man" of rowing, for yes
terday the Cornell varsity and junior
varsity crews won thrilling victories,
while Courtney's freshman eight was
beaten only by Syracuse. This was
near enough to a Cornell sweep to re-
mind the great throng present of the
years when Courtney's crews were
wont to win every event on the pro-
gram.
But great as was the surprise when
Cornell won the varsity race yesterday,
a. greater was furnished by the Leland
Stanford University eight, which the
critics had picked for the tail end po-
sition. These young giants from the
Pacific coast rowed in third position
for three miles. hit UP a terrific squirt
in the last half that carried them past
Syracuse, and for brief interval past
Cornell and placed them second at the
finish. Syracuse was third, Columbia
fourth and PENNSYLVANIA a poor last,
Vivian Nickall's crew never being in
the race after the first 100 yards.
Syracuse led to within a quarter mile
of the finish. only to be nosed out and
beaten by both Cornell and Stanford.
The lineup at the finish follows:
