Owing to the bereavement of Dr. Macrae ond City .Engineer Etnyre the democrats have postponed their Jubi lation over Monday's victory, but are plan ning for a monster demonstration the latter part of the week. ' " The present city council will meet Sat urday night to wind up Its work and allow the monthly grist of bills.

' Rash for Pie Counter. . . . Mayor Macrae and' the new olty council will have a number of appointments at their disposal and the Ink had .' hardly got dry on the election returns Monday night before the rush for the pie counter began. The appointments at the disposal of the city council are: City clerk, chief cf the fire department, city electrician, who also combines the office of superintendent of fire end police telegraph; city physician, street commissioner, sidewalk Inspector, poll tax collector, poundmaster and custo dian of the city building.

I pound Banner Java and Xf VI 8 package any kind tfs ff 0 reappointed by the, new Class Rivalry Rans Hlerh. The spring vacation has given a renewed and, if anything, a more vigorous start to the rivalry between the eenlor and Junior classes of the high school, which are vlelng with each other In placing their class colors at the highest point possible and maintaining them there. Yesterday morning the seniors, after capturing the president of the Junior class and eight of his. classmates, bound their hsnds and feet, set them on the curb with a guard over them and forced them to watch the hoist ing of the seniors' pennant to the top of the 150-foot electric light tower at Fourth street and Brosdway. After the flag had been safely flung to the breeze the seniors released their captives. Four hours later the senior class pen nant went up In smoke. The Juniors, be ing unable to reach It so Ihey could haul It down and trample It In the mud, de cided the next bent thing was to apply the torch to It, and this with the assistance of a paid hireling, so the seniors assert, they succeeded In accomplishing. ' The seniors then entrenched themselves In a camp on the top of the tall bluff hack of the High school and, having se cured a new pennant, again flung It tauntingly to the breese. The camp of the seniors was Impregnable from all but one side and this they kept closely guarded all day. Towards night the rain forced the seniors to desert the camp and haul down their pennant, but new and !nrest Ing developments In the class rivalry are looked for today. Matters In District Court.

March 29.-The story of an alleged plot to assassinate President Roose velt, which on Investigation proved to be entirety without foundation, was made pub lic today by Police Commissioner McAdoo. ' Several days ago the commissioner re ceived a letter from an Italian In Italy say ing that snother Italian was about to come to this country for the express purpose of assassinating the president. The writer gave a detailed description cf the alleged anarchist, the steamer on which he would sail and full details of the alleged plot. When the steamer docked an Inspector was on hand with a large squad of detectives and the suspect was found and detained. Investigation, however, showed that the case was purely one of spite on the part of the man who wrote the letter. It was found that the detains man was not an anarchist and that he had a perfect right to enter this country. He was allowed to land. The object of the letter, It was found, waa to have the man deported. ST. LOUIS MONEY ALL UP Forty Thousand Dollars Pledged for National Democratic Convention Has Been Subscribed. ST..
