TLane, secretary of the interjor department, has been elected ns an honorary member of the Typo~raphi- cal Unfon No. 21 of San Francisco. MAYOR FETEN ANSWERS MR, RIGAING' ARTICLE Editor Telegram: Permit me to briefly answer the article by Mr. N, A. Riggins in yesterday’s paper. Mr. Rizeins refers to “the mayor's nlun” of taking care of the sewerace prop- osition. T bez to say the ma;or has ro plan; he simply aszks reco:nition for the plan appro ea by the people aryd outlined in ordinance No. 133, “fixing the details, form of bonds and coupers, of a bond issue of the ‘city of Lakeland, and plc g said ieity to levy a tax suflicient to meet the interest to accrue thereon, and provide a sinking fund to pay the principal when due.” The purchas- ers of the seweraze bonds bought |them under this ordinance, and to 'seek to nullify it, as Mr .Riggins' proposjtion would do would be to break faith with the people who bouzht these bonds. Mr. Riggins states that ‘“‘the serv- fce fee of $4 for the first closet and $1 for each additional closet relieves the city of all tax for sewerage pur- poses.” Ordinance No. 158, which | T vetoed, contains no such provision. It simply states that “a sufficient amount of fees derived from section 7 of this ordinance shall be placed {In the sirking fund to pay interest on sewerage bonds.” Nothing is said about paying off the principal —the ordinance makes no provision whatever for, retiring the bonds | but simply cares for the interest. I Nothing is eaid abont what is to be- come of the remainder of the money thus collected. If for no other reas- on than the varue wording of this ordinance, T think I would be justi- fled in vetolng it. Granting that all the service fees collected shall go to payment of the bonds and interests (althouzh the vetoed ordinance does not go speci- fy), why should a perpetual service tax be saddled on the people. Under the provisions of the sewer bond is- sue, thirty years after issue the bonds are to be retired and no fur- ther tax on account of sewera~e is to bhe assessed. But ordinance No. 158 would place a perpetual burden upon the people and even after the sewer bonds are retired there is no provigion to indicate that the peo- ple would not be eompelled to keon on indefinitely payinz $4 for the privilece of using a closet and $2 for a sink.

(By Associated Press.) | Chicago, Oct. 7.—A speedy trial for the murderer of Mrs. Mildred Allison Rexroat, the Tango teacher, on Sept. was today promised for lienry Spencer. The slayer's cunfessnon of twenty murders, which was woven by an opium-clouded brain, at first dumfounded the po- lice. Spencer's admission of the Rexroat crime was substantiated by evidence.

'a New York, Oct. 7.—Long before the dawn of day, a long line of hare ball fans were standing in line out- side the gates of the Polo :ro nds sceking admivsion to the first ~ame in the world series between thie Giants, of the Nat ol Liensue team, and the Athleties of the ‘moer- fean League team today. The man who can guess the outcome ol the series has his fortune made for now and all time. Guesses are as plen- tiful as watermelons in Auounet. It appears to be conceded that teams are remarkably well matched this year and the whether the hard hitting hinzes Athletics outcome on can overcome what is assumed to be ! the stronger pitching of the Ciiants. ! " This is vazue, to say the least, but /It simply means that many critics feel that John J. !better fortified with pitchers in Ma- thewson, Marquard, Demarece and Mctraw Is much Tesreau than Connfe Mack s with . Pender, Plank, Houck, Brown and Shawkey. In a long series this would count materially, bnt in a short one it has less sienificance, un- less one of the stars fs not at the top of his form.. In this particular case, however, it looks as if the Ath- leties would not be able to work so much damaee with the stick acaingt the New York pitchers ag the Giants will, even thouch they are hehind their onponents in team batting, arninet. the.
