tion of Committee.
PURCHASES ARE
FINALLY
APPROVED
Aaother Little Brash Oeeosloae br
. Committee's Aetloas la Beloeo
tlaa; I.lahlo Takea from
Tower.
The question of approving the action of
the committee on fire and light In award
ing the contract for 1.0)0 feet of fire hose
for the new engine house In the south
part of the city to BK-phen Bros, of this
city resulted in a lively three-cornered tilt
between Aldermen Maloney, Tlnley and
Weaver at the meeting of the city council
last night. Alderman Maloney contended
that the hose selected was not a first
grsde article and stated that he had evi
dence to show that the same article Which
the city Is now asked to pay 90 cents a
foot for had been offered by the same firm
at Bt. Joseph for 70 cents a foot, with a
discount of 10 per cent. When the com
mittee on fire and light waa authorised to
art in the matter Alderman Maloney had
tncked onto the motion that the committee
be Instructed to purchase first grade hose
from the lowest responsible bidder. H con
tended that the committee had failed to
comply with these Instructions and moved
that the whole matter be referred back to
Alderman Crippen's1 committee, with In
structions that it comply with Its former
Instructions. This brought on a wordy war
between Alderman Maloney and Aldermen
Tlnley and Weaver, who took exception to
Maloney's statements. The mayor also
took a hand. The action of the committee
was finally approved, but Mayor Macrae
stated emphatically that If on - Investiga
tion he found Alderman Maloney's state
ments to be true he would certainly refuse
to sign tha contract on behalf of the city.
In which event the city council would have
to pass It over his head, by a three-fourths
Vote. ' I
The action of the same committee In
awarding the contract for a .combination
chemical engine and hose wagon to the
Beagruve company wa likewise approved,
Aldermeh Maloney and Gilbert alone voting
In the negative.: .... .
'Bills Too Heavy.
, 'When the grist of bills had been- read
for tha previous month Mayor Macrae
sounded 4 word of warning, fte said that
the' expenses would, have to be cut down
"all along the line" next month, as the
blUs were ontlrely too' hevyv ' '
. Mayor. Jlacrae and the committee on fire
and light had another tilt over the locating
of the four lamps from the Fourth street
tower, wh)ch haa been dismantled. It de
veloped .that; the committee had relocated
these lights 'Without having been empow
ered by the .council to do, so. Alderman
Weaver of the committee Insisted that It
had been authorised to act In ttie matter,
but the records of the' proceeding of the
council failed .to support him. After mora
or less acrimonious discussion It was finally
decided to place the four lights, as follows:
One- at the Intersection of Fourth street
and Broadway,', one on Blttfjf ' at rear of '
Mniciiiic1 temple; one' at Junction 'of Bryant
street and Broadway and xne at junction
of "Willow avenue and Fourth street.
, The resignation of Fred Btono, the colored
poundmastec. waa received and accepted.
No appointment was made in his place.
Property owners on Avenue A ' between
Twenty-third and Twenty-fifth streets petl.
tloned that the motor company be required
to bring Its tracks 'on that street to the
established grade before the permanent
sidewalks ordered are constructed. Unless
thl is done the proper owner complain
that the street car tracks will be above the
sidewalks. The petition was referred to the
committee of the whole. '.
The resolution of the Board of Education
calling upon the -city to provide, proper
sidewalks in the western' part of 'the city
for the accommodation of pupils attending
the Avenue B school, now being, enlarged,
was referred to Alderman Crtppen of the
Blxth ward. ,

Ono of Them Caesrht and Hakes
Vail Confession.
The police have at' last run" down the
gang- of youthful thieves who are alleged
to be responsible for the numerous petty
burglaries . during. ..ths,, last two months.
Raymond Roop, a Itf-year-old tad who was
taken into custody Sunday, was placed In
tha sweat boa yesterday and he rhade a
complete confession, implluuilng Horace and
yarry Taylor, Edison Gaston and two
others who have not yet been arrested.
The Taylor boys, who live at Frank
'street and Broadway, are, aged 14 and 12
years respectively. r Voiing Gaeton lives at
Seventeenth street and Fourth avenue and
is 12 yeurs old. The Roop boy has since
his father and stepmother, went to Se
attle, Wash., been making his homo with
an elder brother,' ,
Toung Roop' was seen Saturday morning1
about daybreak leaving ths Chrlstofleraun
grocery store on Sixteenth avenue and
Klghth street, which latec It was discov
ered had been rubbed of a number of ar
ticles of minor value. When taken Into
custody he at first declined to talk, but
later when put In tb sweat box, made a
complete confession. He admitted that Be
and his companions were , responsible for
the recent robberies at the Bee Hive gro
cery on Main street, tha Henley hardware
store on Broadway, the Klein it Kohn gro
cery on Broadway, John Olson's grocery
store on Broadway, Schott'a dmig store on
Main street. K. Roger's saloon on Broad
way and the liankenson. aieal market on
Broadway. He denied that they committed
Ihe two robberies at the Welker meat 'mar
kvt on Main street.
The pollfe are confident that young Roop
has told the truth about the different rob.
berlva, as his account of the different ar
tides secured by the different boys at each
place robbed coincides with the , report
made to the police. '
As all of the boy arrested come 'within
. the provisions of the new Juvenile lsw,
I they were plucrd In chsrge of Sheriff Can'
nlng and not locked up In tha clir Jail.

day by the police.
TROIBLE OVER THE POOR FARM
nperlntenont ana Matron of Insti
tution at Oats.
The opening meeting yesterday afternoon
of the adjourned aexxlon of the Board of
County Supervisors .was a mor or less
stormy one and It came about through a
difference of opinion among the members
as to who waa responsible for the mlatnan
ageir.rnt at th new county poor -farm.
John Knox, the superintendent of the poor
farm, notified the board that unless' It re
moved Miss Margaret O'Neill, the matron,
he would resign and, with his family, leave
the place not later than Wednesday. Ao
cordlng to Superintendent Knox, the ma
tron wanted, to boss him, his family and
the entire Institution. ...
Opinion as to who was responsible for
the trouble at the poor, farm was divided
and, the "merribprs of the' board used some
very plain language In discussing the mat
ter., Chairman Baker and Supervisor
Brandeu made no. secret' of It that they
favored securing a new superintendent.
while Supervisors .Dryden and Epencsr
were tor discharging the matron and' hav
ing the superintendent's wife act as such.
That the. condition of the house had
greatly Improved since Miss O'Neill was
appointed matron was conceded by. all the
members of ths board, while on the other
hand It was generally admitted that tha
farm had not been properly cared for and
that ths superintendent had been lacking In
administrative ability. "Show me one In
telligent thing he has done since we ap
pointed him," asked Chairman Baker of
his fellow members, referring to the super
intendent. ''
Supervisors Dryden and Spencer Insisted
that Knox had been blamed for more than
he should have been.
After spending the entire afternoon dis
cussing -the situation, the board adjourned
until this morning- without solving the
problem.

ASPHALT- COMPANY APPEALS
New York and Bermuda Corporation
Objert to Action ot
Venesaela,
WASHINOTON, Aug. l.-The first official
rcount of the action of the Venesuelan
government In respect to the seliure of the
properties of the New York Burmuda
Asphalt company ha come to th State de
partment In a cablegram from Minister
Bowen at Caracas. Mr. Bowen says that
suit was brought bj the Venesiielan gov
ernment against the asphalt company On
the ground that It had failed to carry out
certain portions of Its concessions, espec
ially those requiring It to dig canals and
export other products than asphalt. Be
cause 'Of the company's failure in these
matters the Venezuelan government asked
the court to order an embargo (correspond
ing to the ordinary American Injunction)
and to appoint a custodian or receiver. The
court granted this sppllcatlon. laid the em
bargo and appointed A. H. Carner as cus
todian. He sailed on a Venesuelan warship
for the nearest port to the asphalt lakes
before, notice ot suit was served on the de
fendant company. -
Minister Bowen explAlr.s that while the
statutes of Veneiuela authorise embargo
proceedings such as these In the case of
leases,' this would scarcely apply to the
New York Bermuda Asphalt company
properties, which are held under conces
sions. The custodian, Mr. Garner, seised
these properties July 27 and remnTns In pos
session. Prof. John Bassett Moore nnd John D.
Lindsay of New Tork, as attorneys repre
senting the New York A Bermuda company,
called at the State department today and
had a long conference wltl Acting Secre
tary Loonfls and Solicitor Penflnld in re
gard to the protection of the company's
Interests against such arbitrary proceed
ings as those that have taken place. While
the asphalt company Is an American Incor
poration the bonds of the company are hold
to the extent of nbout 11.000,000 In England,
giving the British government the right to
Intervene to protect Its cltisens' Interests.
Mr. Bowen is sending by. mail a detailed
statement of the events leading up to the
seizure, and as the Stats department Is
anxious to secure some further Informa
tion as to the complexities ot Venezuelan
law fitting this case. It probably will await
th malls before moving further In the case.
TO SECURE CHECK WEIGHERS
Pennsylvania Miners Will Try to En
force Decision-of Arbitration
Board. .
8CRANTON, Pa., Aug. 1. The executive
board of the Wyoming and Lackawanna
district mine workers, representing 801,000
men, went Into session here today. . The
board, Is to decide what action shall be
taken to force the operators to observe
the check weighing and check docking
"boss" decision of Cnroll D.. Wright and
has been given the power by a convention
of the district miners to order a strlka at
every -colliery whore It Is not enforced.
The board will adjourn this afternoon and
a statement of the miners' position will be
Issued by President Nlcholla. Before the
meeting he said: ', '
"Ths operators' suggestion that we refer
th grievance to an umpire will hot be ac
cepted by the miners." - "
'"President. Njchollg' suggestion that
wo refer, the grievance to an um
pire will not be accepted by the miners."
Tho committee held a brief session be
hind closed doors and adjourned until' this
afternoon. President Nlcholls refused tq
lve out any . statement but promised to
have something to say tomorrow. ' The gen
eral opinion Is that the executive commiti
tee will refuse to aocept the responsibility
of ordering a strike 'and will refer' the en
tire question back to the locals to be de
cided by vote. The probability of a settle
ment of the question without ' resort to a
strike 1 considered much greater than It
was last week."
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. Carroll D.
Wright, commissioner of labor of the de
partment of commerce and labor, expressed
the opinion today that no strike of the an
thracite miners will result from the conten
tion which has arisen between the oper
ators and miners concerning the appoint
ment by the miners of check-weighing
boss In the various collieries.

Over ills Winning.
(From a Staff Correspondent )
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. (Special Tele
gram.) Acting Commissioner of Indian
Affairs Toner today received a letter from
Commissioner Jones from San Francisco
In which the latter requested that a denlnl
be made of the story which was sent out
from Washington to several western paper
two weeks ago to the effect that he, Jones,
intends soon to resign.
The tale had it that considerable friction
existed between Secretary Hitchcock nnd
Commissioner Jones, growing out of the
removal of Colonel Pratt from the super-intendenc-
of the Carlisle Indian school.
It was further pointed out that 8eoretary
Hitchcock and Commissioner Jones were
at loggerheads over the administration of
Indian affairs in Indian Territory and else,
where. Commissioner Jonon In his letter
today states that he nnd Secretary Hitch
cock are hi most hearty accord and tlmt
the story that he Intends to resign Is hot
air, pure and simple.
Commissioner Jones has been In San
Francisco sohie four weeks upon official
business, supervising the opening of bids
tor annual supplies for the Indians In the
Pacific coast region.
Iovrn Consrressraen Call.
Colonel Hepburn and Captain Hull, two
of Iowa's best known congressmen, are
In the city, Colonel Hepburn coming to
Washington direct from Clarlndn, while
Captain Hull, who Is vice chairman of the
congressional committee, came over from
New York. Colonel Hepburn, as chairman
of the Interstate and foreign commerce
committee of the houee, has a scheme to
take the members ot the houss nnd senate
committees on commerce to Panama and
have them look at the route for the Isth
mian canal. President Roosevelt believes
this Is a good suggestion and said to the
congressman today that should tho com
mittee decide to go he would see to It
that a government vessel Is placed at the
disposal of the two committees,
Captain Ifull said to the president that
New York might fairly be classed as a
doubtful state, but ss doubtful for the
democrats ss for the republicans. As for
New Jersey and Connecticut, he suld, they
could be safely be classed In the republican
column.

PANAMA FEAnS I KITED STATES
Thinks American Custom House Will
Divert Revenue.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. Senor Obaldl,
the Panama minister, called at the State
department today and made a formal pro
test against the construction given the
oanal treaty by executive officers of tho
Isthmian canal commission. There Is
trouble growing out of the location of the
postofflce in the canal strip, under the
commission's orders, but the most serious
matter of discord between the people of
Panamaand the commlbsion Is tho latter's
location of a new customs rort neur tho
City ot Panama. Tho people of Panama
contend that the commission's ffssertlon
of a claim to customs Jurisdiction over out
lying Islands and harbors will surely re
sult In the total diversion of trade from
Panama and will Impoverish that govern
ment through the loss of ' customs reve
nues. '
The agitation In Panama started with tho
retail shopkeepers who feared that they
would lose the lucrative business of supply
ing the vast army of laborers and omcers
who are to construct the canal. The con
troversy has extended rapidly and tho
situation In Panama now Is stated to be
really precarious from a political point of
