NO QUORUM PRESENT WITHOUT HIS VOTE Member from the Foartk Reached 'y Telephone and Pats la an Appearance In Time to aTC the Day. There was nearly a slip 'twlxt tlie cup and lip when the city council met last nlghl to pass an ordinance providing for the in creases In the salariea of the city clerk, chief of police and membera of the police and nr, departments At the executive session held before the council meeting. which lasted an hour. Councilman Olson stated that he would refu.-e to vote for the passage of the ordinance under suspension of the rules. Insisting that the measure was one which should be finally passed upon by I the Incoming city council. Arguments were In vain. Councilman Olson remained obdur ate and declined to go on record as favor ing the passage of the ordinance. He also waa not at all worried about going on rec ord as being opposed to Its passage. Without Councilman Olson, owing to the absence of Councilman Tlnley, who Is con fined to his home as the result of his re cent accident, and Councilman Weaver, a quorum would have been lacking and the ordinance would thtis have to go over. After . ,-,,,,.,- more or ir"r trouble Councilman Weaer was reached by telephone and he at once signified his willingness to save the day i and fi QUt lhe ,,,,,1 quorum. When word came that the councilman from the Fourth ward would put In an appearance Council man Olson decided he had Important busi ness elsewhere, donned, bis overcoat and hat and slipped away from the city hall. With the arrival of Councilman Weaver, just as the clock struck 9, Mayor Macrae called the council to order and the ordl- 'nance raising the salary of the city clerk from U.0S0 to $1,3)0 a year, that of the chief of police from $100 to $125 per month, that of the night captain from 170 to 175 a month, that of the chief of the Are department from $0 to $86 a month and the pay of the members of the police and fire departments from $B to $70 a month was promptly passed under suspension of the rules and everything was again se rene. , Want More Par for Mayor. Then there was Introduced a petition signed by the following six ex-mayors, J. II. Cleaver, M. F. iRohrer, Dell Morgan, Thomas Bowman, D. Macrae, sr., and George Carson, asking that the salary of the mayor be restored to its former flgiyre of $1,500. The salary for a number of years has been $900. The petition con- i talned the following preamble: The Increased commercial Importance of our city demands the time, attention and liberality of our chief executive. Upon mm aevoives me inauguration of a Dusl- i nesa policy that will redound to the v.el- i are or aemmeni or tne city. Tne salary as n-w fixed by the council Is not com mensurate with the responsibilities of the office and we therefore petition your honor able body to in some way provide for a compensation not less than $1,500 a year. jsotning waa done to make any pro vision for the requested - Increase in the ordinance passed last night, but the fol lowing resolution was adopted: Be it Resolved, That the foregoing peti tion be approved and that we recommend to the incoming city council the passage of an ordinance fixing the salary of the mayor at 1.5oo, and further recommend that all the expenses of the Incoming mayor incident to the office be paid in addi tion to his salary. An ordinance providing for Increasing the number of men in the police department to twenty-one in addition to the city marshal, who Is ex-offlcio Chief of police, and ono deputy marshal, was passed under suspen sion of the rules. The controversy over the location of the proposed crossing from the Odd Fellows' temple to the opposite side of Broadway was settled by the council ordering it laid to the southeast corner, opposite the Dodge property, Instead of to tho southwest cor ner, as ordered laid by Councilman Tlnley., chairman of the streets and alleys conH mlttee. Rosenfeld brothors, by agreement of adjoining property owners, was given permission to extend their show wlndolw seven Inches over the sidewalk. The origi nal application asked for eighteen inches and then was reduced to twelve Inches, hut met with opposition on the part of rhe adjoining property owners. City Solicitor Bnyder gave it as his opinion that the council had not the right to grant the per mission to occupy even seven inches 'fa public sidewalk, but the city council ignlored his protest, August Boysen s application for a pei mlt to conduct a saloou at 16u0 South Slixth street was referred to the chief of polide. A number of routine matters of rut tor Importance were disposed of or referred to the Incoming council. 1 receive .? cents.

Deputy Sheriff Groncweg returned yester day morning from Weston where he went lato Thursday night with the bloodhounds from Beatrice, Neb.', to trace. If possible, the thieves who robbed the poatofflce there Wednesday night. The belief was enter tained in Weston that the robbery was committed by local talent, but the blood hounds dispelled this opinion. Evidence was found showing that the robbers made a rendesvous of an old, abandoned building across the street from the postofllce, as plaster which had fallen from the celling of the dilapidated struc ture waa plainly visible in the foot tracks leading from the building to the poatofflce. The bloodhounds, without the slightest hesitation, followed the scent from the old deserted building to the postofflce and from there by a circuitous route to a point near the Milwaukee depot. Tracks were found in the vicinity of the depot corresponding wlth those leading from the deserted build ing to the postofflce. There was nothing, however, to Indicate which direction had been taken by the fugitives as a number of trains both on the Milwaukee, and Rock Island pass both ways during the night. ' For Sal.

By a vote of 76 to 17 the house to day ssed the Hughes anti-pass bill, after amending It by adding a publication clause so that It will go Into effect Immediately upon publication Instead of July 4, as it otherwise would. The bill as par-d prohibits the use of passes by federal, state, county and city officials. Judicial or otherwise, delegates to peilltlral conventions, members of political committees and employes of political com hilttees. The senste had previously passed the bill, but It must be returned for con currence In the amendments. Drmarraae Bill Dead. The house this afternoon put to sleep one other of the msny bills which It was expweted would cause some trouble and much controversy. This Is the reciprocal demurrage bill. The Mil has been much discussed in committees. It provided in brief that where a railroad company was notified that a shipper needed or desired car for shipping purposes the company must furnish the same within a specified time or pay a demurrage, charge thereon to the shipper. It also Irgallsed the present demurrage charges. The bill was de manded by the shippers of northern Iowa, especially the owners and managers of co operative and farmer elevators, who com plained that thousands of dollars were lost annually by them because ot the failure of the companies to supply cars when shipments are to be made. In support of the bill on the floor, Mr. Powers and Mr. Doran spoke briefly, while Mr. Offll spoko In opposition to the bill. The vote taken was on a motion to substitute a minority favorable report on the bill for a majority report against It and It re sulted 38 to 47, which ended the career of the bill. Shippers declare that this takes it Into politics, and they are al ready preparing for a campaign to elect members who will be favorable to some such legislation. Paaa Appropriation Bills.
