At the meeting of the Montavilla' Improvement Club Monday evening, the matter of the widening of Villa avenue to 70 or 80 feet and then improving it was considered. It appeared to be the general desire to Im prove the street between Wiberg Lane and the Rosenthal tract, a distance of more than two miles, but when it came to widening the street there was quite a difference of opinion and much opposi tion. It was a new thing to most of the people and they did not understand how It would be done. One man kept demand ing, "Who Is to pay me for taking a slice from my property. If this street Is wid ened?" It was explained that if he was damaged he would be compensated, but he could not understand and was not sat isfied. Finally, after extended discussion, it was decided to ascertain how the property-owners stand on the question of wid ening the street. Two committees were appointed. One will ascertain how many property-owners favor widening the street and the other committee will inquire how many are opposed to widening the street. This was considered a fair proceeding. These committees will report at a future meeting of the club. Will Rbadvertise Bonds.

In order that nothing should be In the way of proceeding with the erection of the City Hall. Mayor Valentine signed the ordinance and the bonds will be re advertised In accordance with its provis ions. At this meeting the Council refused to cut out the provision of the Pacific States Telephone Company franchise by requiring 2 cents for each telephone, and the matter went over for another week. An application for a license to sell liquor was received from J. L. Charle son, accompanied with the usual certified check, and it went to the liquor license committee.

Be cool and go to the Lyric this week In a melodrama there must always be some one thought that strikes the audience 'way beyond anything else in the play. In "M Woman's Sacrifice" this week at the Lyric the great vital point that holds the Interest is the fact that the husband and wife, Wil son and Mary, the central figures, each think the other guilty of theft. It Is won derful how this tense point Is kept up In the Lyric performance. There Is excellent com edy to relieve the tension, and the moving pictures are shown between the acts. It is a great play.

JOHNS OBJECTS TO VAJjEN TIN'E AS POSTMASTER. Asserts That Appointment of Mayor and Removal of Mrs. Clark Was Underhanded. A mass meeting was held last night under the auspices of the St. Johns Commercial Club In the dance pavilion on the city's ground to protest against the removal of Mrs. A. S. Clark as Post mistress and the appointment of Mayor F. "W. Valentine. D. C. Rogers, presi dent of the Commercial Club, presided, and at the opening resolutions -were read setting forth the purpose of the meeting. It was set out that the peo ple of St. Johns were not consulted In Mr. Valentine's appointment, were not aware that any change had been con templated, and furthermore never had heard of any charges being made agalns Mrs. A. S. Clark, present Post mistress. Several short talks were made condemning in strong terms the appointment of Mayor Valentine as Postmaster as underhanded and unpre cedented, all of whicH were loudly ap plauded. In the course of the meet ing Mayor Valentine was sent for to make a statement, if he cared to, to the mass meeting, but he was then presiding at the regular meeting of the Council and refifsed to come. After further discussion, it was vot ed to send a telegram to President Roosevelt asking that further action In the St. Johns Postofflce matter be held In abeyance until the citizens could be further heard from, and asking that an official Investigation of the methods leading up to the appointment be made. Frank A. Smith. J. H. Black and B. T. Leggett were appointed a special com mute! to prepare and send this tele gram this morning, money covering the cost of the dispatch being raised at the meeting. On formulating and circulating a pe tition to the President that an investi gation be made, G. J. Perkins, Q. H. Canrig-ht and T. J. Monahan were ap pointed. This petition will ask what were the charges, if any, against Mrs. Clark, and what influence led to the appointment of Mayor Valentine to the office. Messrs. Southmayd, Blackburn and Kirk were also appointed to Inves tigate the appointment and ascertain what led to the Mayor's appointment and who are the persons responsible for it. There was a considerable num ber present at the meeting, including many" women, just what effect the protest will have remains to be seen. Mayor Valentine has been appointed and confirmed as Postmaster, but citi zens opposing him rely on the fact that it was a secret proceeding, and hope to influence President Roosevelt to recall the appointment. It Is under stood, on the other hand, that Mayor Valentine will resign as Mayor and qualify and enter on his duties as Postmaster. WDJ, INSPECT GAS COMPANY'S PIAST. Several members of the Council gas Investigation committee assembled at the City Hall last night for the pur pose of reviewing the testimony ad duced during the different hearings before the body. After an Informal discussion of various features of the situation, the committee adjourned to meet at the call of Chairman Mem fee some time next week, upon which occasion the members will make a careful Inspection of the gas com pany's plant. It Is not thought the report of the committee will be forth coming for several weeks, owing to the mass of testimony to be con sidered. LEADERS OF SPIRITUALISTS THEY ADDRESS MEETING AT HOME OF MRS.

Mr. Barrett, who was here a year ago, spoke well of Portland, eulo gized the secular press for Its nonpartisan Stand, outlined the screed of Spiritualism as based on the three pillars of conserva tion, concentration and consecration, and closed a pleasing address with the humor ous remark that up in Maine the right to breathe and even to vote had been accord ed to a Democrat, and that he had hopes for humanity. Harry Moore was next introduced and discussed the spiritual side of the Mitch-ell-Creffleld murder case, ridiculing the idea that George Mitchell was spiritually commanded to kill Creffield. Several local speakers followed him. One of these. Colonel Reid, spoke highly of President Barrett, and likened him to President Lin coln, but disclaimed any intention of booming him for the Presidency. At this Juncture a huge firecracker was exploded on the street, and was alluded to as a Barrett boom, causing no little amuse ment. Special music was rendered, and the Spiritualists are highly elated over the success of the meeting. Mass meetings will be held tonight and tomorrow night at the Academy of Music. Frater Pays Fine, Goes Free. William A.
