Thli constituted all the actual business, but the Question of the purchase of tiie fire hall site at Thirty third and K streets was opened for dls cuhs1ci and this may possibly lead to a reconsideration of the' transaction. A committee representing the board of dlrootor o( the Baptist church waa pres ent and reminded the city council that It had offered Thomas CJIIIIrpI 11.600 for a fire hall tit when the church had offered a lot Just across the street for $1,000. The committee argued that the council waa not conserving the Interests of the city by pur- chasing the more expensive lo". Home of the members of the 'city council explained that they were not familiar with tho location of the church lot and did not know that It was a better proposition. The resolution to purchase has not been ratified, by the mayor and he will Invest! gate the , lota offered before signing the same. This may result In a veto or the purchase, as the mayor may decide. The mayor also asked the , committee of the council to Investigate the matter. Thla will probably., be done before the next session of the council. Three Yosmsr Mea Hart.

Coming Campaign, He Defends Party Will Participate Only in General Way Wanti Monetary Eeforms in Next Congress. BEVERLT. Mass., July 14 President Taft Is giving considerable thought to the forthcoming report by the monetary com mission, which It Is expected will recom mend to congress sweeping monetary re forms. It Is doubtful if the report will be ready for consideration until a year from next December. If the next congreas is republican, the president will make an effort to get a monetary bill through. Senator Aldrich, the leading spirit In the commission' work, 1 have retired from congress by that time, but it Is said that after leaving the senate h will spend considerable lime in going through the country making ad dresses in favor of a central bank of.Utsue. The president is also mapping out a line of work for the economy commission to be composed of depaitment chiefs at Washing ton. It was authoratlvely announced today that President Taft's participation In the campaign this fall will be wholly of a gen eral character. Whatever the president may have to say on politics will have to do with th work of th last congress and in proclaiming the fact that to his way of thinking th republican party representa tives placed in power two years ago have kept faith and carried out the party plat form. The president will attempt to read no one out of the party. Neither will he have any candidate for any office. Personal friend ship for William Loeb led the president In a friendly way to suggest to him that he would make a good candidate for governor of New York. But he has stated that it was not his intention to interfere in the affair of any state and will strictly adhere to thl policy. It was announced that when the presl dent and his family and a party of friends leave here or. the Mayflower Monday they will head directly for the Bay of Fundy and the waters about Eastport. This will be th farthest north. Turning there the i presidential yacht will thread its way through th Lubeo Narrow and run 'down to Bar harbor, where a atop of two or three day will be made. Islesboro will be visited. No other definite stops have been decided upon, and no formal engagements have or will be made.

The six boy who were Jailed last night, some of them at th city Jail and som at the South Norfolk Jail, were: Emery Bonney. said to be th leader of the gang; a one-legged youth who haa a long police record.

II seems to be a natural born thief and 1 a degenerate. A cripple with but one leg, he 1 the only on of a widowed mother, whose home was recently destroyed by fire. Bonney was alleged to have been the leader of the other gang taken two years ago, and he was finally paroled by Juige Welch, who de livered a lecture to Bonney that brought tear to th eyes of the lawyer who heard it He pleaded with the youn. criminal to mend hi way and ha gave Bonney a chance to make good. Since then Bonney ha been a bad aa ever. Only a few week ago he stole a number of bicycles, changing wheels and frame so that they would not be easily recognized by the owners. The first charge against th boy Is 'for breaking Into Northwestern oar on th night of July U. at th South Norfolk yards. On thl night th seals on six cars were broken.

According ' to the authorities the boys maintained camp in different points around tli city, where they held feast on the stolen goods. Several debauches are re ported by the officer, which were held by the boy on presumably the stolen liquor. REDUCED NUMBER OF HOGS.
