BLUFFS I WORDY WARFARE OYER HOSE Aldenfiin Ifgloney Takes Exception to Ac 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. , Cat-OS Wants Improvements.

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. Toung Roop was placed In BL Bernard's hospital, while the Oaalort boy was' al lowed to remain In custody of his father. The Taylor boys were released bit bonds In the sum of $l"0 esch. Borne of the goods stolen by the gang were recovered yester 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.

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.

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.
