GUARDING SHEBA'S CITY.

Fierce Arab tribes guard the lost city of Sheba's Queen" believe Andre Malraux, French explorer and his companion Pilot Capt Molinier who on a flight from Djibout the Arabian desert found uncovered by shifting sands the twenty towers of a temple the temple, perhaps, of that great city which has been lost for centuries as wholly the fabed Atlantis From that city great caravans of camels loaded with riches in gold, spices and gems set out for far distant places And Sheba's queen accompanied such caravan to visit the wise king, Solomon which duly recorded not once but twice in the Old Testament.
 There is something gamorous about Sheba, some thing romantic about it's queen who had the courage to go and for herself if Solomon the great credited him with being. If the French have redscovered the city, who knows what archaeological explorations Of the ruins may bring forth Perhaps there is a parchment, welpreserved, written to the queen by Solomon waiting to add aonther chapter to that pleasing tale of ancient days Of course, it is possible that evidence might be found to upset the story altogether. But let's hope not It would be pity to destroy a memory so tender and glowing even to satisfy the archaeo- logists quest for knowledge of a great city that was lost, a that vanished civilization that left imprint the pages of history

GOOD CASE FOR BOND ISSUE.

If a proposition so perfectly sound as the pro- posed municipal bond issue to obtain a PWA loar and grant was in need of explanation, that given by Mayor Goldsten and the City Council in The Empire last Saturday ought to satisfy every prop erty owner of this city. It should set at rest all doubts that any voter might have entertained as to the merit of the proposition Briefly, the City seeks to float bonds not to exceed in amount the sum of s1OoOOO These bonds will be used security for loan from the Public Works Administration to which will be added a equal to 30 per cent of the amount loaned to the City. The interest rate is fixed at four per cent. The principal can be paid over a period of 25 years. Normally the City pays six per cent on it's securities, and in no in the past has the period of redemption been as great as 25 years. It has never sold any issue on the open market on which it received back in cash at 30 per cent of the total That is what the Government offers to do in this instance. It is good business to accept the offer if the public works it is proposed to finance needed
 Every project listed by the City Council has merit More than that, every one of them calls for a badly needed improvement work that will have to be done within the immediate future So there need be hesitation on that score. In fact II they are not financed at this time under the plan proposed under the bond issue, it is not altogether unlikely that at least of them will have to be financed through normal issue at a higher rate of interest within the next year or two.
 And this is especially true of the incnerator which it seems from the statement issued Saturday has been tentatively dropped from the list as not practical The immediate provision of some kind of a modern garbage disposal plant is perhaps the city's most pressing need at this time. The con- tnuance of the present system of dumping it in the community's back yard the harbor front at the end of Ninth Street, is not defensibe any ground Public health, civic pride, consideration for our good name and many other reasons demand an abandonment of the practice that is so long out moded Hundreds of people reside in that section of the town. Most of them property owners and taxpayers. The Ninth Street garbage dump is offensive to them, is menace not only to their health but to the health of the entire city. It is
 disease breeder. Rats by the thousand breed there and spread through sewers to all parts of the city.
 Within a year, a fine new bridge will span Gastineau Channel within a few yards of the unsightly and unhealthy pile. That is another strong reason why it should be razed and plant erected to dispose of the garbage of the community If it isn't done voluntarily, it is probable that we shall be forced to do it. The present method is carried on under permit from the War Depart ment which was reluctant to grant it's continuance just year two ago. After the Douglas bridge is completed it is not impossible that it will cancel the permit altogether. This would be disastrous

former Mayor Walker in England.
The erstwhile New York chief execu-
tive said:
They are only doing their duty
and I welcome it as an opportunity OF
indicating my character"
Mr.. Melons statement in full fol-
lows:
1.-THE action which the Attorney
General has taken in seeking to
secure an indictment against me on
the charge of income tax evasion is
politics of the crudest sort.
Il am as much in the dark as any
one as to any possible grounds ne
could have for such action, but l am
glad. under any circumstances to get
my tax affairs out of the Attorney
Generals Office and into the court.
where I am satisfied I shall get JUS
tice and a prompt disposition Of the
case which has so far been denied me.
mo charges have ever been made
by the Treasury of any tax evasion
by me, nor have I been advised by
either the Treasury or the Depart
ment of Justice of any intention to
try to collect additional taxes from
me, All income taxes which have
ever been asserted against me have
been paid and In no single year have
! failed to pay very substantial In
come tax. The total has amounted in
the last 20 years to over $4,000, 900.
Il feel very strongly that before the
Attorney General of the United States
should bring a charge Of this kind
against me, l, like any other citizen,
should be given proper notice in the
manner provided by law Of the Gov
ernments intention to assert addi-
tional taxes and should have been az
forded an opportunity to meet such
charges in the customary way.
Action "Arbitrary."
"In all my years of experience In
the administration of tax laws I have
never known of single instance in
which such unfair and arbitrary ac-
ton has been taken.
In May of last year charges were
made by Congressman MCFadden
from the floor of the House of Repre-
sentatives, based on information fur
nished by man named Olson, regard
ing what was termed a specific tax
evasion in connection with my 1881
income tax return The Attorney
General announced to the press at
the time that he would investigate
these charges and I requested that
he do so at once, offering the fullest
cooperation.
Nothing was done until October
and November, when three agents Of
the Department of Justice visited my
Office in Pittsburgh and spent several
weeks going over my books and rec
ords. At the conclusion of their in
vestigation they expressed themselves
satisfied with the cooperation they
had received and stated that they had
found no Irregularities of any kind.
d Their report lay before the De-

investigation Of me is that requests
have come from one or more men,
bers of Congress to investigate certain
claims with reference to the personal
income tax returns Of Mr.. Mellon
''There have always been members
of Congress wanting to investigate
me for their own reasons, and may
say they have INDUCED themselves on
every possible occasion In the last II
years.
During the entire time was in
public office I was subjected to most
searching congressional investigation
into every phase of my official con-
duct and my personal affairs. and In
each instance an investigation of the
facts exonerated me from the charges
which had been made.

I'm public statements Issued from
time to time the Attorney General
has attempted to justify this unusual
procedure in conducting an investi-
cation Of my tax affairs by the De-
partment of Justice instead Of leaving
it to the Treasury Department, whose
duty it is to investigate such matters,
and has not hesitated to cite as rea-
sons quite irrelevant matters such as

Olson had charged that had profited
personally IN any way. The suit was
brought as an informer action by Oh
son, who hoped to collect $500 900, 900,
of which half should be for himself
and half for the Government. That
case has been tried in the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia
and on December 8, 1888, was thrown
out and judgment entered for me
! and the other Treasury officials who
were joined with me as defendants.
Yet as late as January 18 the Attor-

Beagles Interesting

Volumes have been written on
hounds and horses which the
beginner will find as sturdy
reading as the approved classics
and as difficult to master, in
practice, as any other exact
science. To get a really work
able knowledge of hunting, as
well as an academic knowledge,
the neophyte would do we'll to
start with a pack of beagles.
These jolly little fellows afford
q wonderful opportunity to see
hound work and see it more init.
mately than when out with fox
hounds.
Managing and owning a
pack of beagleS is the best
schooling a young man can
have, who expects to become a
Master of Fox Hounds. Beag-
ling is also a sport that a man
and his family can enjoy to-
gether, as there is hardly any
age limit for the Field, pro-
viding they can walk and run.
Also it is a sport that is
possible for the man who can
not afford to maintain a string
OF hunters, or does not live
IN a hunting country.
One who has once learned to
appreciate hound work and
who has tasted the sweets of
