FOUR MORE BALLOTS WITHOUT CHOICE District Caart Enjoins Cleric Irons Is- aolaar CertHeate ta O'Cssset and front Harlaat Tied Candi dates Draw Strawa. Still the city council cannot coma to an agreement, either aa to a temporary or a permanent chairman. There waa another meeting last night with all members pres ent and a good bouse. As soon aa the members were aeated the usual gang of "boosters" from the outside, beaded by some former members of the Council, swarmed around the tables and talked confidentially to the councilman. Then tho first ballot waa taken. It stood three for Adklna and three tor Queenan. In all four ballota were taken and the result waa tha same in each. At the conclusion ot the fourth ballot Mylea Welsh suggested that the council taks a recess until next Monday night and thla waa agreed to. The aesslon waa not without Incident, however, as Deputy Sheriff Roach served a couple of wrlta oa City Clerk Shrlgley issued by Judge Keyaor at the Instigation of John Mclntlrs. The first order served was one restraining the clerk from issuing a cer tificate of election to Patrick J. O'Connor of the Fourth ward. This, It waa reported, the clerk bad Intimated he might dq In or- dear to break the deadlock and bring the proposed contest to a focus. The other order waa one restraining the elerk from serving notice upon Mclntlrs and O'Connor to appear at the city offices thia afternoon and draw atrawa for the position. Each of the contestanta received the same number of votes and aa tha old council adjourned sine dls without settling tha dlsputs the question ot which one Is entitled to the teat seems to ba in doubt. New Ordlaaaea Needed. The city billposter ordinance which Former Mayor Kelly pushed through tha recent council, la considered defective by those in authority and it was asserted yes terday that another ordinance would have to be passed by the present council with a number of changes before It would stsnd the test of the courts. When Kelly went out ot office his billposter went with him and ao now there Is no city billposter. Sev eral persons have made application to Mayor Koutaky for the place, but ao one will be appointed until the ordinance Is so amended that It will be be declared legal by the courts. It la possible that with others matters to attend to the council may take Ita time before getting around to thla ordinance, as there never seemed to be any great need of a city billposter until Kelly discovered that ne wanted to make a place tor a an out ot a job. aiabaagh-Wariaad Kaatlals.
