 Bill has more unadulterated stuff than any other pitcher in the big leagues today" Gabby conhded to me.
 Having suffered somewhat with neuralgia as possible reaction from the recent extraction of my molars, I repaired to MT. Halla- hans room, thinking to find solace for my aching face, 1 spent more than two hours in MT. Hallahan's room. He may have had the stuff but he failed to offer me any. So I wended my way to the ball park to have a little talk with Connie Mack.

 In the hotel lobby I met Burleigh Grimes but almost failed to recog- nize him. 1t seems he has bought a new hat. The handsome derby which he won from me on the elec- ton of Grover Cleveland he dispens- ed with last week. Burleigh knew me, however.
 Don't see how anyone after see ing you once could forget you,' he told me, in a rather flattering way. Aroomph.

The mayors plan was to hold in reserve $67,O00 which is in the street department fund, until Friday, when 1t would be transferred to the pub lie welfare department. The money raised through the issue of the notes was to have been used by the street department in place of the $67,oOO on hand.
 Mayor Quigley intends to have the board of finance and taxation and the common council rescind the &C., ton taken in authorizing the issue and instead authorize the special tax. The discovery of the Boston at torneys disclosed that the city has no authority to issue street bonds or notes because all which were author ized have been issued, but bonds for other purposes, such as schools and sewers may still be issued with out further authorization by the legislature.

transfer of money to the treasurer O. the fund.
 It would be impossible under the rules for the council to order teach- CTS to contribute two per cent. President Harry Vessels said today. The only body that had the power to order the teachers would be the school committee and this oody voted not to bind the teachers m any way. he said. Appreciation of the boards attitude was expressed in the following report of the spe- cial committee:
 "The attitude of the school com mittee and superintendent in leaV- ing the determination of the ques- ton to the teachers and Tn refusing to bind the teachers in any way merits an apprectative acknowledg- ment from the council.
 "There is apparently, throughout the teaching body, a very real sense of the need and suffering which ex- ists in the city.
 .There is undoubtedly strong disposition on the part of all teach CTS to do whatever may be possible to relieve this need and suffering.
 "Inasmuch as the schools reach all parts of the city, the attitude Of the teachers of these schools IS a very important influence in meeting such a situation as that existing
 
 to express, by whatever they may do, a genuine sympathy; and to in- fluence their fellow citizens as strongly as they may to a similar expression and action.
 'It is desirable for the best re- suits and greatest good to all con- cerned that each teacher be regard ed in the matter as an individual citizen, with complete freedom Of thought and action.
 "Consistent with these findings your committee recommends that, in each school in the constituency Of the council, teachers be given the opportunity 10 make contributions to the Christmas Fund through the principals office; and that the prln- cipals as a group take action as to the details of collections and of transfers to the treasurer of the fund.

General Yen Hsi-Shan seized Tien- tsn and placed the British author in charge of the customs.
 Much difficulty ensued. Col. Hay ley Bell ordered his staff not to sign the custom house books and to await instructions from him. Lenox Simpson thereupon warned the em- ployes that all who remained away from work would be dismissed. For time there was no customs super vision whatever, with the result that foreign consuls had to issue thelr own clearances to ships of their na- tionals.
 Eventually Lenox Simpson had the office functioning again and was in a good position until last week, when the Manchurian army of young Chang Hsueh-L -Liang took over the city, supposedly in sympathy with the Chinese Nationalist government. Notices posted by the Manchurian officers said the customs would be taken over by recognized government officials but said nothing of what would happen to Lenox Simpson.

Out of his fund of natural wit he found material for authorship, writ ing a magazine autobiography which he called Letters From a Hoofer to His Ma" and contributing frequent hilarious memoirs.
 His friends had known that he was seriously i'll, despite his pro- tests that his sickness was nothing 10 worry about, and his death was not a surprise to them. His versatil- ity, they knew. had taxed his strength beyond his powers of re- cuperation from the illness which first struck him several weeks ago.
 His immediate friends said funeral arrangements had not been com pleted but that the actor probably would be buried here.

We can bor- row $105,000 in anticipation of the spscial tax and have 1t available at once for street work otherwise we will be in the same position as we were prior to the sl05,00O note is- sue, which means that men whose labor could be used on street work would be obliged to look to the public welfare department for as- sistance. If we levy a special tax of a mill and one half, it will be nec- cssary to have a tax rate of 25.5 mills for current expenses of the government next year in order to re- tain the present rate, but we will keep that rate in any event"
 Opposition to Issue
