S3 ti sr Remonstrance Against Garbage Depositor; Gotten Up 35 TAXPAYERS SICS NAMES CoudcII Adjourns loo Soon to Receive Protest, bat it Awaits Board at Next Heeling After transacting two items of business In about ten minutes at its regular meeting Monday night, the city council udo.irnej just In time to escape the receipt of a remonstrance against ' the proposed establishment of a garbage depository on part of Thos. Crlteser's land, near the old brewery. The escape of the council is only temporary, however. At its next meeting the remonstrance will be presented in time for official ac tion. At its previous meeting, the coun cil appropriated $4.".0 with which to buy an acre of ground for a garbage dumping site. No statement was made as to the locution, but reliable information as to tills soon leaked out. It was not denied that the mys terious acre was part of Thos. Crlteser's property near the old Hast brewery, and the property owners in that vicinity Immediately got busy. A remonstrance was drafted and to this was affixed the signatures of 3"i taxpayers. Three of these, .1. II. Dixon, Maurice Moore and J. M. Martin, started toward the council chamber with the protesting docu ment Monday night, but got there ten minutes too late. In their protest, the 35 taxpayers "respectfully represent thnt it would not be for the best interests of the residents of the city to have a dump ground and garbage heap established upon the ground sltunted between .Inchon street and Hast Avenue and joined on the north by Deer Creek. The establishment of such a place would largely depreciate the value of surrounding property, as well as en danger the health of residents, be sides being an unsightly and dirty place for the public In view, which would make our city loss attractive ! to force matters, and the subject of establishing a garbage depository is one on which the council has always appeared unwilling to risk a legal battle. How the vexatious problem can be solved with satisfaction to ail concerned Is a question that threatens brain fag to all who wrestle with it. And the question is one that must be solved without delay If the city is to have pretensions to cleanliness. Moore and Martin, two of the re monstrators In the present instance, stated Monday night that they knew of an acre of ground outside of the city, all fenced, that could be got for a garbage depository. When pressed for particulars they replied that "the matter had better be kept quiet for a while." Other Matters. The council passed a resolution de claring its intention of constructing a sewer from Mill and Short streets to connect with the Fullerton avenue sewer, In the Hamilton Addition. The proposed sewer will be of 6-inch vit rified pipe, its length will be 2220 feet, and the estimated cost is $1100. A warrant for $2.35 was ordered drawn In favor of Dan Curtln as a refund of city tax which he paid on property outside the city limits. MARRIED. LANCTOT WALKER.

Tomorrow the earth is to pass through the tail of Halley's comet. That old Mother Earth will suffer at all from the experience seems to be doubted by all authorities on as tronomical matters. Possibly a few displays of light, a shooting meteor- te or so. a little more neat man usual and a chance for a shadow as the sun's disk Is obscured, these seem to be the extremes of the prophecies made by the sky authori ties. Comet gazers must expect abso lutely nothing tomorrow, however, If thev want to be absolutely assured of not being disappointed. Most of the astronomers say there will be no appreciable phenomena as tne eartn passes through the tall of the comet. Tomorrow the comet will not be visible as It rises. So close to the sun will It he as entnrelv to be ob scured by the solar brilliancy, and all dav it will travel almost in a dl rect line with the sun's rays.

Kerby, the stenographer, whom Balllnger dismissed yesterday for giving out a statement regarding the preparation of the Lawler meni' orandum, was today called as a wit ness before the Balllnger Investiga tion committee. Senator Knute Nelson, the chairman, after placing President Taft's letter of explanation of May 16 on file, asked that Kerby be called. Attorney Brandels asked that Kerby s affidavit and Secretary Carpenter's denial be also entered on the record, but Nelson refused. When Vertrees, Bollinger's attor ney, asked Kerby If he was a "con fidential clerk" Kerby replied that occasionally he has handled confiden tial stuff and that he was a confiden tial clerk for the Government, but not for Balllnger. Kerby admitted he was friendly to former Secretary Garfield, hut denied that Garfield In fluenced him or suggested to him the statement which causod him the loss of his position. Kerby said he gave his statemont to Robert Wilson, correspondent for the Scripps-Mcllae newspapers, after he concluded he wouldn t be called to testify on the Lawler memoran dum. He had first talked to Gar field, who had told him not to act spitefully or allow any selfish motive to cause the Issuance of the state ment. He said that after talking with several Scrlpps-McRae men and rending next day Balllnger's denial of all specific knowledge of the Law ler draft and snw thnt be stated other untruths, making It impossible for Brandeis to call him In rebuttal he therefore thought It ills duty to make the facts public. Kerby's earnestness Impressed the committee. Senator Sutherland asked whether Kerby ever considered talking the matter over with Balllnger.

ROSEBUHC, ORECON The distance of the comet from the earth is estimated to be but 14,000, 000 miles tomorrow, which is fairly close for a comet. The astronomers report that not only Is this passage of the earth through the tall of the comet the first which has been re corded, but they assert that such an occurrance has never been calcu lated for Its future. The transit across the face of the sun will require about one hour. Ac cording to Cromwell and Crommc lln, of the Greenwich observatory, the transit will take place at 6 p. m., Pacific Coast time. Other authori ties have placed the transit between two and three hours later. Because of its curve, the comet's tail will not reach the earth until a few hours after the transit over the sun, so If any unpleasant or unusual experi ences are to take place, they will be in the evening, when everyone'B day's work is done. The transit of the earth through the greatly ex panded tail Is calculated to require several hours. The moon will set at 2:4 5 a. m., so after that possible phenomena may better be discerned.

The re moval of the body of the late King Edward from Buckingham Palace where it has lain in state, to West minster Hall, where It will be viewed by English gentry today, resembled the glittering dress rehearsal for great funeral pageant that will be held Friday. Great swarms humanity lined a mile course, crowd- ng house tops, windows and street posts. Eleven thousand picked sold iers lined the street and formed an mpressive border for the cortege as it passed. The catafalque was covered with black and purple dra peries, surmounted by the crown and scepter flags. The coffin was carried on a gun carriage, followed by several companies of soldiers. The Hist carriage following con tained the Dowager Queen Alexan dria, accompanied by her mother and the Dowager Empress of Russia. Neither Roosevelt nor any European Kings were in the procession today. They will appear In the funeral on Friday. LADIES' AUXILIARY MEETING.

Sutherlln's three-day carnival ojiened this morning with a successful flight by K. B. Ely In a Curtis biplane. Over 1000 people witnessed this event, which will be repeated this evening, as well as on the next two days. A programme of sports Is en tertaining the crowd this afternoon. This evening there will be a ball In an improvised pavilion, preceded by an open-air concert by the Oregon Agricultural College cadet baud. One of tho automobiles owned by the local townslte company, while rounding a corner this morning, ran over a carpenter who had just left the band stand. The man was seri ously Injured. He was taken to Oak land for medical treatment. The grandstand at the race track is completed, and many of the horses have been working out on Waite's track, which has been put In fine con dition. Much space has been taken In the strawberry exhibition hall which wll also be used for enter tainment and dancing. The band will give a free concert each afternoon and evening in this spnetous building which, being 40x100 feet, will ac commodate all the visitors who care to dance after tho musical program. Miss Lyman, a talented young singer, lately from Carroll, la., will give selections, and will be supported by the Ladies' Qunrtet, of Roseburg which is known throughout South ern Oregon. Nothing but high winds can mar the meet now, and these are hardly probable, as this valley seldom suf fers from anything more stirring than a gentle ocean breeze from over the Const Rango.

Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway, upon his arrival In this city witnin the next few days are now being perfected by a committee of the Roseburg Commercial Club headed by J. W. Perkins. The exact day and hour when the railroad mag nate will reach Roseburg cannot be learned at the present time, but no matter what hour of the day his special Pullman rolls into the city or how brief may be his stay he will be accorded as generous a welcome as any visitor to Roseburg ever re ceived. Accompanying Mr. Hill on hiB tour of the stnte are President Becker, of the First National Bnnk, of New York City, and Mr. Steele, a manager of the Morgan Interests. The threo men are tho representatives of the eastern flnnnclnl backing of tho Hill rnilrnnd system. Aside from the lavish hospitality which thoy will be tendered they will be Impressed with the fact that Roseburg fully appre ciates the significant character of their visit to this section of the state. Its n debatable question however, whether any railroad Infor mation of value will be obtained from the trio of financiers during their ston here. Mr. Hill and his party may rencn Roseburg next Monday. They are now on the last lap of a Journey through Central Oregon and are ex- pectod at Klamath Kails tomorrow Ashland looks for the tourists on Saturday and Mndford, where the Hill interests own valuable property, will probably entertain them on Sun day. The following day may see them In this city. Plans for the reception of the fi nanciers have been formed to meet any hour they may arrive and the length of their stay. If tney reacn here in the forenoon thoy will be tenaerea a smoker. It they arrive In the evening they will be tendered an elaborate banquet. Should their stay be limited to an hour or less they will be taken In automobiles on a Bight seeing trip to the surround ing fruit growing and farming lo calities. If a banquet Is to he served It will be under the direction of a caterer which the committee on arrange ments will secure in Portland, and the Armory in the Elks' Temple, la the place where It would be held. If It is to be a smoker the Armory will be the place Just, the same. The Ladles of the r ommercial Club, under the direction of Mrs. J. D. Zurcher, will decorate the Armory with thousands of choice roses for the occasion and while the visitors are being entertained the Interior of their car will be ornamented with roseB. Hon. Blnger Hermann, Hon. Dex ter Rice and Hon. Oeorge M. Brown have been secured by the committee as speech makers for the event, and an orchestra will be engaged to fur nish music. In the hurried canvass this morning the committee secured individual subscriptions of $10 from 45 men, making a total of $450 with which to defray the expense of the reception. Covers at the banquet, besides those of the three visitors, will be limited to those who sub scribe, and $10 has been fixed as the minimum subscription that will be received from any one person. Mr. Perkins stated today that It would be Inconvenient for the committee to make any further canvass for funds, but he announced that anyone desir ing to attend the banquet who had not been visited with the subscription list could do so by calling on him and making the necessary arrange ment. If there Is a residue from the reception fund it will be turned back to tho subscribers pro rata. ItOSEBURO MAN HEARS GRAND ENCAMPMENT. Special to the Evening Review. EUGENE. May 17. L.
