In his approval, however, Mayor Moores stated that he would not approve of the expendi- ture of an additional dollar for lights and that only the cost of removing the lights is to be taken from the general fund. The Board of Public Works was author- ized to advertise for bids on the extension of Riverview park sewer from fits present terminus in the park to Tenth street.

In the absence of Coroner Swan- | son Sherift Power presided. Nine wit- nesses were examined, the testimony all tending to verify in the main the story as published in The Bee of Monday and no new features were developed. The verdict a8 10 the effect that Brookle came to his death as the result of a pistol shot wound the shot fired by himself with suicidal in- tent The following witnesses were examined in the order named: Bert Adams, Police Ser- geant Welsenberg, Oficer Gibbons, Dr Francls Borglum, Jack Decoto, J. H. Irvin H. B. Mayo, “Stevie Lighthawk and Mrs | Anba Lowe. Of these the most important | witneas perhaps was the little boy “Stevie,” | who was in the room at the time of m»" | whooting. He gave a very lucld account of it, fllustrating with his hands how Brookle at the woman (whom he referred to as his mamma) and then turned it upon himself Boy Says Three. | He was of the opinion that three shots | were fired, but all the other witnesses | dented this and it was finally decided that | the third sound was caused by the slam- | ming of a door. An examination of the | pistol showed that only two chambers had been emptied. After Brookie dropped the revolver, the boy testified, Adams picked It up, put It in his (Adams’) coat pocket, and carried it away. Adams, while on the stand, denfed that he had touched the | weapon Officer Gibbons testified that he found it in a lunch basket in the bedroom where the tragedy occurred. The cvidence showed that Adams, while he was In the room at the time of the shoot- ing, did nothing in the way of attempting to prevent violence further than to leap to his feet and hold his hand in protest. He said it would have been impossible for him to prevent the shot, as the bed was between bim and Brookie and the latter fired without | au lnstant’'s warning. A question arose as to the correct spelling of Brookie's name. In letters oftered in evidence the name appeared in three differ- ent mpellings, Brooking, Brookin and Brookle. The point remained unsettled. Earl Lighthawk, the husband of the wounded woman, arrived in the city from St. Joseph, Mo., Monday night, but he was not at the inquest, being at the bedside of | bis wife in the hospital Mrs. Lighthawk’s condition last night was reported to be slightly improved. She is still hovering between life and death and the change for the better is barely noticeable. DECIDES TO PUSH ITS WORK Woman's V n Monument Assocla- W1l Solicit Necensary Funds at Once. The members of the Woman's Union Veteran Monument assoclation at the last | meeting decided upon pushing the work for which the soclety was organized to an early | completion. It was dectded to appoint committees to solicit tunds for the erec- | tion of the monument in Forest Lawn cem- | etery and to have the work done as soon as possible The monument assoclation was organ- ized May 27, 1897, and the next week there- | after it was Incorporated, with Mrs. Anna Yule president, Mrs. E. Hull treasurer and Miss Clara Feenan secretary. The officers elected at that time have continued to serve and are to be carrled on the books | uatll the work for which the assoclation | was brought into existence is completed. The obfect of the assoclation is the erec- { tion of a monument on the union veteran plat of ground which was donated to the ex-soldlers and sailors of the civil war by the Forest Lawn Cemetery company at the time the cemetery was surveyed. This tract {s one of the most beautiful in the cemetery. It is a circular plat, in which there are 684 single graves. Surrounding it are fifty-six blocks of ground which wers | set aside by the company for sale to none but unfon veterans and the blocks have generally been purchased. In 1862, at which time a map of the plat was printed, there were ten graves in the lots. Today there are 114 or more. The assoclation now has on hand about $1,000 and before its object can be attained it will be mecessary to raise at least $2,000 more. The solicitors who will visit the people of the city will be supplied with books bear- 10g the seal of the soclety and no one with. out & book is authorized to collect.

REAR ADMIRAL HAS RECORD FOR MODESTY Allowed Sampron to When Dewey Do the Honors Retarned, Although He Was Entitied to Precedence on Recelving Fleet. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—The vacancy in the Schiey court of inquiry caused by the inability of Rear Admiral Kimberly to serve on account of ill health has been filled by the selection of Rear Admiral Henry L. Howison, whose appointment was Secretary Hackett today. At the same time It was announced that this appointment would be agreeable to Admiral Schley. The department, before taking action had submitted a Iist of names to Admiral Schley which Included that of Rear Admiral Howison and Admiral Schley had Indicated his entire willingness to ac cept any officer on the list. The depart- ment also submitted the selection to Cap- tain Parker before making it public. As- sistant Secretary Hackett before issulng the order communicated with Admiral How- | ison, who 1s at present at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., and ascertained from him that he had given utterance to no expression of opinion regarding the merits of the Samp- son-Schley controversy. The department announced that Admiral Howison would accept the detail. Admiral Dewey was notified of selection and the department sent to the latter a copy of the precept, together with Admiral Schley's lotter relative to the fitth paragraph of the precept and the depart- ment's responses thereto, which correspond- ence is part of the officlal record Rear Admiral Howlson fs one of the youngest retired officers of his grade, hav- ing been retired October 10, 1869, when he reached the age of 62. During the early part of the war he served principally on blockade duty, but later participated in the battle of Mobile bay as commander of the Blenville. It s rather an interesting colueidence that he was in command of the Vandalia at Samoa, which went down in the hurricane in Apia harbor while fiy- ing the flag of Rear Admiral Kimberly, who had succeeded bim as senfor officer on the station and whom he now succeeds on this court. He was in command of the Boston yard during the Spanish war and later was commander of the South Atlantic sta- tion. He made the famous long-distance cruise around Africa in the Chicago a the last act of his active career, arriving in New York the day before Admiral Dewey arrived in the Olympla. It will be remembered that although he outranked Admiral Sampson, who was in command of the recelving fleet at that time, he re- frained from assuming command and courteously allowed Admiral Sampson to do the honors upon that celebrated occasion. A preliminary list of the witnesses who will be called to appear before the court has been prepared at the Navy department. Some of these officers are on forelgn sta- tions and will be ogliged to leave for home | almost immediately to arrive in time. Admiral Schley has «lso submitted a list of witnesses, some of whom are on foreign stations, and these also will be ordered home. Captain James Parker, Admiral Schley's assistant counsel, appeared at the Navy department today to resume his fnvestiga- tion of the oficial records in connection with the disputed points in the Santiago campalgn. He was given a desk in the secretary's office, as he was last week, and such records as he called for were placed at his disposal by the bureau of naviga- tion. Among the witnesses desired by Admiral Schley is Lieutenant Benjamin W. Welles, who w aboard the Brooklyn as Commo- dore Schley's flag secretary throughout the There are no Spanish officers on Admiral Schley's list Commander Willlam Swift, the gunboat commanding Yorktown, has been ordered | to relteve Commonder Seaton Schroeder as naval governor of the island of Guam. The Yorktown is now enroute to Guam. The assignment of Commander Swift s tempo- rary, pending the selection of a permanent governor. It became necessary to detach Commander Schroeder from that duty prior to the expiration of the usual period of such assignments in order that he might return to the United States and testify before the Schley court of inquiry.

Several afMdavits were received and formally accepted by the committee for inclusion in its report John B. Archbald, vice president of the Standard Ol company, in an afdavit vig orously attacks the afidavits submitted last June by former Attorney General F. 8. Monnett of Ohlo, Charles B. Matthews, M L. Lockwood and J. W. Lee, declaring that Mr. Monnett in his relteration of charges reflects on the purity of the OMlo supreme court. He characterizes as false the charges of attempted bribery by Mr. Mou A special com- | nett by the Standard Ol company, and Mr Monnstt's sworn statement that instead of the trust courting investigation, it delib- erately evaded and suppressed an fnvestign tlon of these proper charges. He says Mr Monuett “did give notice that he would take testimony before a notary public, a proceed- ing he knew to be fllegal, preposterous and contemptuous.” Concerning Mr Monnett's testimony charging the Standard Ofl company with burning ite books, Mr. Archbold's amdavit says: “There was In evidence both sup- pression of truth and suggestion of false- hood; and now after two years granted for reflection and repentance thoroughly dis- credited by the records of the court he represents, he agaln returns to the charge in hia aMdavit filed before the commission in June, 1901, pretending he has found new evidence 1 leave him face to face with the record, that the commission may judge Concerning Telephones. E. J. Hall, vice president manager of the American Telegraph and Telephone company, submits an aMdavit concetning telephone conditlons. He says the charges for the service are higher in this country than in Burope, but that a fair comparison fs almost impossible because of and general the many difficultles between the services here and abroad. The greatest single factor, he says, is the comparatively low cost of labor in Burope He puts the United States in the lead in telephone development. Next to this country in the number of telephone stations are Germany with ; Great Britain, 171,660, Sweden, rance, 59,927, Switzerland, 38,864; Austria, 32,255; Russla, 31,376, and Norway 20,446 A supplementary affidavit made by Prof. Frank Harbons of Boston is designed to retute testimony of Vice President Clark of the Western Unfon Telegraph company and General Manager Bethel of the New York Telephone company. He charges that the Western Unjon is overcapitalized and sub- wits figures from official reports to support hls charge. The average actual recelpts for all telegraph messages in England, accord- 1ng to him, are 15 cents as compared with 37 cents in the United States. He claims that comparisons as to the relative exten- sion of the use of the telephone under United States compared with that abroad are misleading, being based on carefully selected cities, RAISES GRADE OF OFFICERS Preaident McKinley Makes Another Batch of Appointments fin Army and Navy.

Interest therefore centered | in the platform and the speeches, | all of which teemed with denunciation of democracy in general and former United States Senator Gorman in particular The “white supremacy” lssue raised the democrats in the platform adopte them at last week's convention was Ig nored In the declaration upon which the republican candidates will stand, but it came In tor its unfavorable mention in the speeches.

It is disgusiing, but humorous; it is sham and fraud; it is without force. The suggestion that more than 80 per cent of the white population of the state is in jeopardy, from any stand point, from the less than 20 per cent of wegro population, is an insult to a brave and {ntelligent people, who are Justly proud of the glory of their state.
