There wai fun In the council chamber yes-
tcrtlny afternoon. The mooting was a con
tinuation of the Investigation brought on to
nscortnlti what councilman , It nny , received
Ixxxllo from the Kctclmm Purmturo com *
pony. It was full of rich development * and
a number of personal encounters were proven -
von ted hy the lorgcant-at-armi , who was al *
ways on hand \vlion wanted.
The law } CM wcro given full swing and Jo-
voted much of tbo tltnu In sparring for wind.
At 1 o'clock the doors to the council
chamber swung in and a crowd of Inquisitive
spectators entered to await dovclopmonts.
The meeting \vas called for 1:30 : o'cloclc ,
but it. win half an hour later before Clerk
Graves called the roll.
There were fourteen members present
when Mr. IJechcl arose and stated that the
notion of tbu council In reconsidering the
Squires matter was illegal. Mr.Hccbclsald ho
rrasnot pre-sonl Monday night when tbo vote
was reconsidered and In view of that fact ho
would move to reconsider the vote of that
night.
Dlscusilng the S < | iilrc < i IJIII.
Mr. ClmtToo saia the mooting was not
called to help contractors pull chestnuts out.
of the fire. Squires , ho said had bcon In the
room lobbying for an hour , trying to got
enough votes to again got his bill bcforo the
council.
Mr. Ilcchel still Insisted that the action of
the council was illegal.
"Then what's the use of talking about III"
said Mr. Chaftoo.
Mr. Morc.irty entered Into n legal argu
ment. Ho had no moro regard for Mr.
Sqircs than ho had for nny other man. Ttio
mandamus should go on and the whole matter
could bo settled In two weeks. It would only
bo Jnstlco to have the matter sotclcd.
Mr. Lowry stated that the Squires bill had
bcon railroaded through tne council , and the
last time only a few days ago. At thut tltno
the reading pf the journal was called
for. as ho thought , for delay. Ho
had seen cards passed among the
members. The council did not darotolet
Mr. PoppletoD pass upon the bill. Ho had
Klvon opinions , but they had boon shoveled
In the wjisto basket. Squires should Uavo
gene Into the courts If ho wanted his money.
"Squires Is not entitled to that money , and
I defy vou to show that ho is entitled to the
full amount. "
Mr. ChalTco said that ho would vote to
pllow Mr. Squires every dollar duo him. but
on Its validity bo wanted the opinion of the
city attorney.
Mr. llechel stated that the trouble
arose on account of a personal difllculty bo-
twoou Chairman Blrkuausor and Mr.
Squires.
Mr. Morcarty said that Mr. Popploton
could go before the district court on the man
damus and protect the interests of the city.
If the Judge was prejudiced against the city
and in favor of Air. Squires , that judge
would not bo lit to sit upon the lionch.
Mr. Osthoff moved that the \vholo matter
) ay over until the council mooting to bo hold
this evening. The motion prevailed and the
Investigating committee started on Its work.
O. H. Itallou was subpoenaed but was not
present , ho haviuc gone to Lincoln.
Councilman \\lio Testified.
Councilman Davis was called to the stand
and sworn. Ho know Spcchl and talked
with him about boodle. Spocht told him that
the bids had been tabulated. Ho was sails-
fled that boodle was being used the mornIng -
Ing after the vote was taken. The night before
Specbt was at Davis' shop and said : "Davis ,
wo are not In It. This thing Is full of boodlo. "
Davis asked why anil was .Informed
that Morenrty was custodian of the funds
( TOO , winch was to bo divided between himself -
self , Conway and Durdlsh. Snccntsnid that
Blumor and" Ilrunor were In it , and it was
understood that Olson was in tbo deal.
On cross-examination Mr. Gannon said :
"You only mentioned the names of Irish
men ! "
"No , sir , I do not know the men ns Irish
men. They were grouped together , nnd that
is why they were given In that manner. "
"Did ho mention my untno or Mr. Don
nelly's ! " a kcd Mr. Elsasscr.
"No , sir. "
Councilman Bochol was called to the stand
nnd testitlcd. Ho knew Mr. Spocht. Had a
conversation with Specht ubout boodle being
used b > the ICotcham Furniture company.
Snecht said that .Morcarty , BnrdishConway ,
Dluincr mid Ilrunor were getting tbo money.
Olson was In it , but was being controlled by
Blumor.
On cross-examination Mr. Bcchol stated
that ho wus In the council chamber the night
that the committee on public property re
ported. Davis brought up tbo question of
boodle having been used. Witness had talked
with Mr. Snecht , who told him that the
Kotcbnm Furniture company had been brio-
ing counullmcn to secure their votes. At that
time Mr. Specht did not give the names of
the men who had boon nppro.ichcd , though
ho did say that ho ( bpocht ) had been offered
J500 If ho would vote right.
Another ] ' 'urnluirn .Alan.
Kdwatil D. Weary , the manager of the
Andrews company , was called and almost
Immediately there was a row.
The witness detailed the fact of his com
pany having been > i competitor for the furni
ture contract , lie was then asked what
Colonel Toomor , the Andrews agent , had told
him about money having been used by the
Ketoham people.
Mr. Gannon objected. Ho siild it was only
hearsay.
Mr. Whnrton told the committee what he
expected to prove. Weary would swear that
Hoemor had talked with Morcariy and that
upon the payment of 1500 Morenrty would
vote for thu award to the Andrews company.
Iloomor had consulted with \\oary , nnd
Weary had told him not to pay Moroarty one
dollar , that If they could not get the con
tract without the use of boodle they did not
want It.
Mr , Gannon Insisted In strong terms that
Mr. Wharlon was manufacturing thunder for
the press nnd refused to allow the testimony
to go In.
Mr. Wharton grow excited and said : "You
cannot fltillo this Investigation by shutting
out testimony. The case will go ou , and bo
who Is guilty lot him full. "
Just n Trillo I'orsonal.
Thottwo lawyers entered Into a personal
dispute for the boneflt of tbo lobby.
Mr. Whnrton stiitod that Gannon's rules of
practice might npply in police court , but that
such bulldozing would not bo allowed In a
court of Justice.
"Tho llrst time I over saw you. " roared
Mr ( ! umionv "was in police court. "
The chairman cut off further debate by
ruling that Weary could nrt testify.
Mr. Men-arty stated that ho had submitted
to wholesale injustice , but would stand It no
longer , He did not propou-to bo convicted
* on hearsay evidence. The whole Investiga
tion was n plot to Injure his political career.
Mr. Wuurtoii appealed from the ruling of
the chair.
OstliolT and Tuttle voted to sustain the
chair. Mr. Cooper was absent. CbalTo and
MeLouilo voted against sustaining the chair
man's dccHon.
The chairman decided ttfnt ho was sus
tained.
"Of course you are , " put In Mr. ftloroarty
JL "What right have you go to say anything
about this I" demanded Mr. Chaffee.
Mr. Moroarty opined that ho had a perfect
right to express his opinion.
Mr. ChalTee opined that ha bad not.
"I Imvo , nnd I will show you , " respondad
Mr. Moroarty. advancing toward Mr. Clint-
fee. "and 1 will * how you what ! . what. "
Mr. Ohnffoo also stood upon bis feet , sayIng -
Ing : "I will talk when I want to , and will
not bo Interfered with by any outsider. 1
want to lull you that in your position It
comes with lud grace to suy too much. "
Once more Moroarty denounced the In-
vcstlgntt u a political ichome , and the two
men wcro about ready to tight.
The sorscaut-al-uruit ordered them to bo
RCatod and thus prevented a knock down.
WiuitiMt iho ItoatttcrHtory.
Mr. Wharton stated that Colonel K-iomor ,
who was in New Orleans , had been tele
graphed for ; that ho would swear that
Morcarty hod told him that ho would vote
for the Andrews contract If ho was paid f.KX ) ,
nnd that Mr. Hoomer had told the story to
Mr.Vcarv. . . . ,
Mr. McLoario wanted to hoar Mr. Weary.
If bo were one of the accused ho would want
the whole matter sifted to the bottom.
Mr. Moroarty Insisted that It was a relig
ious war thai was being waged against him.
"It Is not n question of religion , but ono of
boodle , " replied Mr. Wharton.
Mr. Moroarly withdrew all of his former
objections and pleaded for hasty action.
Mr. Gannon said no ono would object to
Woary'.s testimony If it was not considered
until Colonel Hcomor's was board.
Mr. Whnrton snid that ho understood the
investigation .was to vindicate the councilmen -
men , and It was duo to the honest men to
have the stigma removed at the nurllost pos-
stblo moment. The truth should bo told , that
the people might bo satisfied.
The choir opposed hearing hearsay testi
mony.
"Gentleman , " remarked Mr. Wharton ,
"you can smother this right here , but can
you afford to do sol"
Mr. Chaffco said that It had boon stated
that the investigation had been Instituted for
political purposes , but It was false. Let the
man bo Jew or Gentile , Catholic or Protes
tant , If ho was gulltv ho should bo punished ;
if he was Innocent he should go unharmed ,
but the case should bo held open until Mr.
Roomer's testimony could could bo secured.
Mr. Morearty Insisted that if the case was
held open until Charlstraas It would blast
his political hopes.
Messrs. Gannon and Wharton nrgroed to
take tbo deposition of Mr. Hcomcr.
.MoriMirty Didn't like It.
This proposition throw Mr. Moroarty Into
n rage. Ho said the proposition for delay
was only so defeat hla re-election and ho
would not submit to tbo avowed purpose to
bury him.
"Mr. Chairman , " jald Mr. McLenrlo , "I
will not bo insulted by this thing. " pointing
to Mornartv. "If you \vlll not order him to
cense I will resign from the committee.1
It looked as though the Investigation was
at an end. Mr McLcorlo started to leave
the room , and Mr. Chnltoo arising said , "If
outsiders are allowed to come in bore , Insult
the members of this committee , and threaten
to knock them dowt > , I. too , wUl go. "
The chair promised the gentlemen protec
tion.
It was then ncreod that the attorneys nnd
the oftlcial stenographer should take Wcary's
deposition nnd retain It until thu deposition
of Hoonior was received.
Colonel Coots' Evidence.
John F. Coots , who had been sent for
during the early hours of the session , arrived
and wont upon tha stand. Ho had bid on the
cltv hall furniture , nnd , althouch tbo lowest
bidder , bad fulled to secure tha contract. Ho
had talked with Specht , who told Him of
Billlngsloy's visit. Specht had told him that
Ullllnt'sloy was to pay Moroarty $1,000 ,
which ho was to divide with Conway and
Burdlsh. No other nnmos were mentioned.
Nothing was said about buying Spocht.
Before the contract was awarded Specht had
mot him and told him that ho ( Coots ) , was
not in it , as Billingsloy , the agent for tbo
Ivetcliam company , was using money.
On cross examination Mr. Gannon drew
out the fact that Spocht was in the sheet Iron
business and that ho had a contract on
the city hall long before ho was elected
councilman. Mr. Coots was the general con
tractor and Specht had secured the contract
from him. When Spocht was elected ho as-
Blcncd the contract. Mr. Coots had no rea
son to expect Spccht's support. Ho had not
asked any councilman to vote for bis plans
for furniture.
Mr. Elsasser asked : "Did Mr. Spocht say
that Donnelly or I had received any of the
Kotcham company's money V
"No , sir , " replied Mr Coots.
Mr. Wharton announced that his side of
the case was closed until ho could secure the
testimony of O. II. Ballou , Colonel Kcomar
and E. D. Weary. Mr. Thompson had been
telegraphed , but ho had not boon heard from.
Mr. Gannon did not propose to open the
defense until the prosecution had closed.
With that understanding tha committee ad
journed subject to the call of the chair.
SciiHation of the Afternoon.
The committee arose and as President
Lowry called the council to order , everybody
thought tbo trouble was at an ond. for a time
at least. This was a mistake , as the largest
sized sensation of the season was in store for
the member ? present.
It was sprung by Mr. Elsassor , who arose
to a question of privilege. Ho stated that ho
bad been informed by a member of the coun
cil that another councilman had approached
the member In question , presented an envel
ope supposed to contain money and said :
"This is yours if you will support a certain
measure.
"Who are the men ! " asked half a score of
the lawmakers , as they gathered about the
tall form of Mr. Elsnsscr.
"Brunner is the man who was approached ,
but ho will not toll who attempted to bribe
him , " answered Mr. Elsasser.
"Ho must and shall tell , " demanded tbo
members.
Mr. Bruuor said ho knew nothing ubout
the mattor.
"Ho wants to keep out of this investiga
tion and shield his friend , " said Mr. El-
sasscs.
Said President Lowry : "It Is Mr. Bran-
tier's duty to name this man and every mem
ber should Insist upon the name. "
"Wo want a full and complete investiga
tion , " snid Mr. Bechcl.
Wo are now moving Into n new house. "
sacely remarked President Lowry , "and wo
want It swept clean before wo put down the
onrpots. "
"Tho intoarity of the ontlro council Is at
stake , " said Mr. Bcchel , "and Mr. Brunor
should notshlold this parson. "
Mr , Morcarty demanded that Mr. Elsassor
name the man.
Mr. Elsasser said that ho could not ns he
did not know whom Mr. Bruner would
name , though ho had hoard that Brunor had
told I. S. Hascall.
Brunor llofiihcd to Talk.
Mr. Spocht said that ho had never accused
any member of taking a dollar of boodle Ito
only told what had been told to him. When
the smoke consumer man was In the city he
had offered him ( Specht ) 100 for his voto.
The money was refused and the agent had
bcon compelled to apologize.
Mr. Elsassor thought that it was strange
that some members wcro always approached.
As far as he was concerned no man had over
offered him any money.
"Nor mo , " remarked Mr , Morearty In an
undertone.
Mr. Hrunor quietly rested his heels on tbo
top of his desk and looked the perfect picture
of patience. Ho said again that ho had never
told Elsasser the story.
"Tho newspaper accounts of boodle and
boodlers always arc brought about by such
men as Brunor , and It is such men that cause
the council to bo pointed nt ns a disreputable
body. Again I nay that If ho knows of this
case It is bis duty to name the man , and bo
shall , " demanuod Mr. Chaffoe.
"Well , I will not civo his name , " remarked
Mr. itruncr , ns bo again went to sleep.
Things wore growing Interesting. Mr.
Elsassor and President Lowry demanded the
name of tha guilty parly.
Mr. Davis insisted that Brunor should
name the man or stand up and say that ho
had lied.
Mr. EUnssor understood that ho was try
ing to shield the councilman who had been
Instrumental In bringing on the Investiga
tion.
tion.Mr. . Cooper suld that ho was convinced that
there was nn African in tbo woodpllaand
was In tavo > * of smoking him out.
Ilrunor said he would give up tbo names
when he had positive proof that the party
had attempted to boodle him.
Mr. Elsassor said Brunor was the only
member of tbo council who could ( 'lvo the
inline.
Koine I'rlvatn Laundering.
"If It was a councilman to whom Mr.
Druner refers , hu must name him , " said Mr.
Chaffee "and I that the
, move sorgonnt-at-arm.s
bo dispatched for the olty attorney , that wo
may know how far our authority extends fn
this matter. "
The motion prevailed and a call for the
house wai ordered.
Notwthstandlng the call the council wont
right on washing the dirty linen.
Mr. McLcarlo asked President Lowry to
explain a few things. Ho said Specht had
objected tu Donnelly and Klsaisar and that
their nuuies bad not been mentlouod In con
nection \\lth the boodle deal , Mr McLeane
had heard that bo hud been mixed up In the
affair and could not understand why ha had
been allowed to sit on tb coimulttca. Ho
thoucht It looKOd bad and was douo toe
political effect.
Lowry said tbut ho felt bad to think that
ha had named Donnelly nnd Elsasser and
hen they were slnjipod In the face , lie did
not know that tvlr. McLoarlo was in any
wav connected with the Doodling deal.
Mr. Spocht said that ho presumed ho was
the man to whom Hrunor referred. Ho had mot
him Just bofom tbo vault fixture contract
came up nnd told him that If ho would rote
for Furny's continuation ho could have that ,
at the aarao ttrao handing him nn envelope
that contained n check for til. The check
was In payment of rent for u house , for which
Bruner was the ngenU
"Did you got the checkl" asked Mr. Chat-
foe.
foe."Yes
"Yes , 1 got the check for $11 from Spocht
the next day , " responded Bruner.
"Bruner , " sold Mr. Davis , "now I Uemand
that you name your man. This is not tbo
first time that you have made cracks of this
kind at couticlltnou. I remember tbo tlmo
when you charged Chaffco with being a
boodlor. 1 demanded of you to prove it , and
you slunk away Hko a whipped cur. "
No KrlciidH In Sight.
Brunei-looked about to discover a sympa
thetic friend , but as no oyu mot his ho drew
his head down Into his coat collar and wilted ,
while Mr. Davis continued by sayingIt :
has reached n pass In this council when if a
man votes for a proposition , such men as
Brunor brand him ns a boodlor andn thiof. "
"That U public opinion , " spoke Mr.
Blumer.
"In God's name , how can wo prevent such
public opinion as long as such men as Brunor
ill In the council ! " asked Mr. Chaffco.
"This man Bruner oven went so far a ? to
say that bo saw Cbaffee receive checks In
payment of his vote , " said Mr. Davis.
At4:30 : o'clock City Attorney Popploton
arrived and President Lowry stated the cose.
Attorney 1'cippleton's Opinion.
The attorney asked Mr. Brunor why ho
refused to give the Information.
Bruner said that Elsasscr was all at sea.
He simply quoted what somebody else said.
President Lowry hoped that Mr. Bruner
would answer the question propounded by
the city attorney.
Mr. Bruner said ho would , but llrst wanted
to consult bis attorney.
Attorney Popploton thought that Mr. Hru-
ncr could bo called as a witness nnd could bo
compelled to answer ns long as his testimony
would not criminate himself.
Mr. Chaffno Know there had been lots of
talk about boodlers by outsiders , but could
'
blame'no outsider so loutr as couucilmon ap
plied iho terms to ono another.
Mr. Brunei-said ho would prcsontthonamo
nt the next meeting of the council , nnd would
then satisfy his associates that his hands
were clean.
With the Kvriiliif : Shades.
Mr. Bruner telling how ho was offered an
envelope with something or nothing In It to
vote for somebody or something , was the at
traction in ono of the circus rings at tbo
council last night whllo Mr. Squires'street
claim and ' Urination
sweeping Major Furay's con
tion vote were in the other two.
It was late in the evening when Mr.
Bruner appeared and it was not until raostfot
tno routine business had been disposed of
that Mr. Bcchol called upon him to announce
the name of the man whoilmd approached
him with money to vote on a 'certain propo
sition.
Mr. Brunor hesitated , but the members
wouldn't allow him to bo lost. Ho said bo
had no charges to make , ns the matter had
not assumed definite shape and that ho could
not make a spccillc charge.
"That being the case , " said Mr. Davis , "I
ask of Mr. Brunor what right ho has to go ou
the stand making such charges. It's time a
slop was put to such talk , and it's time some
man was taught n lesson. Ho should bo
taught that when ho maligns a man's char
acter ho must prove his assertions or stand
condemned himself. "
Mr. Olson said that Mr. Bruner had made
charges against a councilman and until ho
made bis charge spocilic seventeen men wcro
under suspicion.
Mr. Conway demanded the name of tbo
councilman who had "approached" Mr.
Brunor.
Mr. Brunor did not seem disposed to
divulge it and Mr. Elsassor stated that Mr.
Bruner had told Mr. Sol Davidsohn of the
German Tribune his story. Mr. Elsassor
call upon Mr. Davidsohn for a statement.
IJruner's Direct Testimony.
The call for Mr. Davidsohn was practically
unanimous and In reply ho said : "Gentlemen ,
I regret being thus called upon , but will toll
you Just what I know about the case. On the
night that Mr. Davis named the men who had
been referred to by Mr. Spocht hi n talk
about boodle , Mr. Brunor told mo that tnnro
wcro more of thorn it. 1 asked him who they
were and ho replied that Chris Specht had
offered him an envelope said to contain money
If ho would vote for a certain measure then
pending in the council.
Mr. Bruner couldn't get out of it then.
Ho was apparently very badly rattled. Ho
said , in response to a call from a number of
members of tbo council : "On the night in
Question I was accosted by Spccht , who said
could have so and so if 1 would do certain
things. "
Mr. Chaffeo demanded that Mr. Bruner bo
moro spccitlc , and Mr. Brunor finally stated
that ono evening Just as be and Mr. Speoht
were going into the council chamber Mr.
Spccht offered him an envelope and said
something to him about voting for something
or other.
"What was In the envelops and what did
ho want you to vote for ! " demanded Mr.
Chaffoo.
"I don't know , " replied Mr. Brunor. "Ho
said somothingaboutf 100. I didn't see the
envelope. Don't know whether there was
anything In It or not. 1 didn't look down.
Ho didn't hand it to mo. Ho Just said he had
an envelope. I don't know whether it was
the vault fixture contract or not that ho
wanted mo to vote for. Perhaps It was for
Major fiu-av's confirmation. "
"How delightfully definite , " murmured
Mr. ChaiTco. "Did Specht give you an en
velope at any tlmo after that ! "
"Yes , " replied Mr. Bruner , "ho gave mo
an envelope a few days afterwards contain
ing a cheek for .some rent duo mo from one of
his employes. "
"I Just want to ask , " said Mr. Chaffeo ,
"why. If bo thought Spccht wanted to bribe
him , ho didn't como into the council nt once
and mane his statement Instead of blacken
ing the character of uvorv member of the
council by mouthing Indellnlto Insinuations
on the street corners ! "
MiSpeclit Explained.
Mr. Spccht explained that it was all a joke.
One of his hired men , named Reynolds , had
given him a chocic for f IS to give to Bruuor
for house rent. He hail the check In nn en
velope and ns he was going into the council
room said , "Here , Cbarloy , I'll glvo you this
If you'll vote for Major Furay's confirma
tion. " Bruuor didn'i answer him , but a few
days afterwards asked mo for the rent money
and I gave it to him telling him at the time
that I haa offered It to him tbo night of the
council meeting. That's all there Is to that
story. It was only n little Joke. "
"I want to know , " asked Mr. Blumor , "If
you are accustomed to joking that way !
Your jokes , sir , are proving n very serious
matter to some of us , and I want you to
know that you must stop such nonsense.
Your Jokes are not properly appreciated. "
Major Furay was on the floor before Mr.
Specht could reply to Mr. Blumor's question.
Ho wanted to know if Mr. Spocht had over
received any money from him or had over
been authorized either directly or indirectly
in nny wav whatever to offer nny ono any
money to vote for Major Furay's continua
tion ,
Mr. Spscht took any number of oaths to
effect that ho had not and stated further
that ho had never oven bcon asked to vole
for Major Furay.
"No , nor has nny other member of this
council bcon asked by me to vote for my con
tinuation , " said Major Furay. "My hands
uro clean , the | > cope ] of this city know it and
I regret exceedingly that my name has been
mentioned In this matter at all , "
"Mr. Specht reiterated his statement that
ho was only joking In tbo mutter ,
"You see what your jokes have cost us , "
remarked President Lowry.
" 1 do Indeed , nnd I regret It moro than any
of you , " snid Mr. Spccht , and then ho con
fessed that ho souiouino * t alked too much of
soilou * matters in a trivial manner , but
promised he would reform and hereafter "lay
ull joking aside. "
Now About 3InJor Fura.T.
Mayor Furay's appointment , continuation ,
rejection , reappolntmcnt and other features
of his relation with the Board of Publio
works came ut > iu the form of an opinion
from City Attorney Popploton , who had
boon asked to pass upon the legality of the
council's ' action In the major's case , and to
uolond the present relations and tha
moans of getting out of the dlfll-
cully should any exUU In reply
Mr. Popplototl reviewed the caso. On
August ± 1 Major Furay was appointed a
member of the Board of Publio Works and
was continued by a vote of 10 to U. Subse
quently at the same incotlng the vote b/
which the appointment was con firmed was
reconsidered. At nnnthcr meeting the Jour
nal was so amended , ) , hal the action of the
council In reconsidering the appointment
was stricken out leaving the record showing
Mr. Furay as conflrrcnd. Mr. Popploton
held that the action oi-tho cimncil In rccon *
sidorlnp the vote on the confirmation was
legal. This was In harmony with iho city
attorney's opinion In the case of Dr. Gapen
nnd Sanitary Commissioner Morrlssey.
Mr. Bcchel moved tliQi the opinion of the
city attorney bo placcJtm flic.
Mr. Morenrty moved 'an ' amendment that
the opinion bo made the opinion of the city
council. _
The amendment was lost on n tie vote as
follows : i "
Yeas Blumor , Cooper , Conwny , I'lsasier ,
Morcarty , Oithoff and Tuttle 7.
Nays Bochol. Chaftoo. Davis , McLonrio ,
Olson , Spncht and Mr. Lowry 7.
Mr. Bochol's motion to place the opinion
ou 11 lo then prevailed.
Tough on Sqtilrci.
Then there was n round on Colonel Squires'
street sweeping claim and City Attorney
Popploton uttorcd a very emphatic and
pointed opinion ns to the validity of the
claim and Mr. Squires' chances of collecting
It in court. The claim , amounting to 14,000 ,
was passed by the council nnd vetoed by the
mayor , then passed over the mayor's voto.
Then the latter vote was reconsidered nnd
the mayor's ' vote sustained , 'ho point was
raised that the council had no right to recon
sider the action on this voto. On this point
Mr. Poppleton held that the action of the
council was regular nnd valid.
Questioned as to the justness of the claim
of Mr. Squires , the city attorney said : "In
regard to that matter I will recommend what
I have always done. When a case can bo
settled with a reasonable concession , I
always recommend a settlement. I reported
to the council that I would recommend a
settlement of Mr. Squire's claim by n deduc
tion of 15 per cent irom the amount , I have
said to n member of the council and I repent
it hero that If that bill goes into court nnd is
properly defended , I will guarantee to cut It
in the middle. "
Mr. Lowry wanted to know If It wouldn't
bo better to present the facts in the man
damus case now pending In court and thus
save the two years' delay incident to a trial
of the case In tbo district court.
Mr. Poppleton replied that there was no
occasion for a delay of two years or two
months ns the seven judges were rapidly dis
posing of tbo business of the courts , nnd
would have the docket bleared by January 1.
Ho further said that Mr. Squires , In a jury
trial could not hope to secure a judgment for
moro than half of the amount of his claim
and would bo in great luck if ho could get
that much.
There wasn't much comfort in tbo city at
torney's opinion for the members who were
urging Mr. Squires' claim and tbo matter
was dropped pending the outcome of the
mandamus proceedings In the district court.

CHICAGO liuiiBAU or THE Bns , )
CIIICAOO , 111. , Sept. 20. I
It Is learned that for the past three woolis
agents for the French government have been
quietly picking up an or.ormous amount of
grain and meats. In moats they have boon
buying In Virginia , southern Ohio , Ken
tucky , St , Louis and ether points
along the border , smoked hoc pro
ducts , as the salted products of
Chicago nro but llttlo known abroad. But
it U for flour nnd wheat that they have given
the largest orders , amountingtoL',000,000 bar
rels of Hour nnd 25,000,000 bushels of grain.
They nro buying for early delivery this year
In Now York , Buffalo , Toledo , Detroit.
Chicago , Milwaukee , St. Louis and
very uoavily In Minneapolis and
Duluth , taking ndvnntago of the
low prices likely to prevail during the com
ing mouths of heavy delivery and especially
of the panicky feohng in the Dakotas grow
ing out of the pralrio llros and the lack of
protection for prafn there which is resultiug
in such largo deliveries nt Lake Superior
ports.
An inquiry as to why the French govern
ment should bo secretly such u ho.ivy buyer ,
brought out this explanation : The govern
ment i.s In a dollcato position in regard both
to grain nnd meat in France. Prices nro hish
and the demand for the removal of tariffs Is
pressing , yet the government does not Hko to
directly lot down the oars. The threaten
ing aspect of European affairs gives it
n good excuse to provision Itself strongly in
advance , preparing for war in tlmo of peace ,
nnd it knows as a matter of fact that thoao
who buy later must pay much higher prices
for American products , 'ihls will go free
tlirouchout the harbor gates , and thus the
French poonlo can bo supplied nt
prices probably 'J , ° > per cent loss than Ger
many will have to pav for grain , ana It is
thought that cheap" bread for the French
people as against dear broad for the Ger
mans will have nn important political effect ,
making the French pconlo enthusiastic in
.support of their government nnd causing u
grout deal of discontent in Germany from
what will bo deemed government obstruction
and stupidity.

When the men toed tbo scratch for the
second round , Hay's loft eve wus completely
closed nnd blood was trlckllnc from his loft
ear. They lost no tlmo In getting to work ,
throw sclonoo to the dogs nnd went nt It allover

best ndvantago ,
Tim third , fourth and sixth rounds were
a repetition of the second , liav uamo up

seconds advised him to go In and finish his
man. He sent his right over the heart , tlion
shot the loft on the mouth , then a halt swing
with the loft landed on Hay's good riuut oyu ,
which enraged him and ho made a wild rush
for Hennwsey , but was aiet with u straight
loft hander on tno nose , spattering the blood
on the wall. From this out It was a brutal

knocked down nt the end of each round.

Hay had to bo carried nwnv. Hennessey was

MOUC Titonii.i : roit WATCH MVKr.ns.
\Vnr is brewing among the employes nnd
employers of the grout linns which make
watches. The two leading firms are the
Elgin nnd U'altnam. They mnuo 4,000
watches a day and all the other factories in
tha United States together make but U50 a
day. These two llrms recently reduced
the prlco of watches , the works of
which are known to the trade as No. 210 , the
largest slzo of men's watches , 20 per cent
from former prices. It was then said the
U'altnam people had reduced the wages of
Its employes proportionately. The result
Is that tbo recently organized union of Elgin
employes has adopted resolutions declaring
that :
Whereas The Kl ln nnd Waltlmin niaiiu-
fuetories are paying greater dividends ilian
any oilier corporation or in.innfacturlni ? In
stitution of this country ; and
Whereas , On account of these enormous
profits \uiuGiisldursuch rcdia-tlun unjust and
uncalled for ; therefore be It
Itosolvod , i livt : wo call upon our brother
workmen at the Wulthani and ether wulcli
faetorles to orgnnl/n so that HO may bo belter
nblo to rcslit any such outiugcous reduction
In wages.
The members of the union say there are
3,000 employes In the \Valthaui works nnd
the cut in w'nges was greater than tbo cut In
gooas , nnd that during the last seven or eight
years the reduction in wages of employes In
these two great establishments had reached
100 per cent.
