is to hold a conference, this morning with
P. A. Nash, president of .the company. In
tbe.cflloe of City Solicitor Kimball.
Pruntdenf Nash was present at the meet
ing yesterday afternoon and addressed the
counctlmen at length, explaining what hN

man, Wallace, whq did most of. the talking
for the. committee of the whole. Insisted
on k clause being Inserted In the proposed
contract siring Ih city council committee
en fire and light the right to order exten
sions of the company's ga mains whenever
it deemed fit. To this President Nash abso
lutely refused to consent and Councilman
"Wallace was as equally obdurate In his
Insistent that such a clauae.be Inserted
1n the proposed contract.
'.,'M. Nash stated that his company could
rtiot an4 would not agree to such a proposi
tion,' whleVhe eflntertded was out of n'.l
reaaon and 'would place' the company en
tirely at the mercy of three men comprising
tlie fit' attd Tight 'committee.
"Why, If I was to' agree to such a clause
4he 'Clthtens Gas and Electric company
would, at once, look about for a new presi
dent,'1 remarked Mr. Nash In a semi-jocular
way. .1 ' '
"."'I don't" know that It concerns us how
''noon you lose your job," retorted Council
man Wallace with. some warmth.
TJ toT thig point the discussion had pro
ceeded with apparently the best of feelings
,on both aides, but the "retort courteous"
from the youthful councilman from the
Third ward seemed to throw a damper
somewhat on the proceedings from thnt on
an$ It wa Hot long before one of. the other
couiriVnnuggted that the contract be
referred" hnclc 4 the committee on Are and
Kght.-Wrfrch was done.
, .VMr Js'ejih stated 'to. the; .committee that

Tweaty-wlgbth street and wherever the
assured patronage would warrant an exten

Jast. year to Eighteenth avenue, covering
territory between' Slxlh and Tenth streets,
which, he said, had cost the company up
wards of $S,0fj' The .revenue' since, how
ever, ha aaid, had not warranted this out
lay, as In no,-month had the receipts
reached 160, while In some months they
had been but a little over 120.

Monday evening without the clause giving
the fira and light committee power to order
extensions of the gaa mains whenever It
deemed At. as Insisted upon by Councilman
Wallace. "Such a. provision. would be un
reasonable and the . company cannot be
blamed for refusing to agree to it," aald
Councilman Maloney.
Mr. Maloney stated that the Cltlsens' Uas
and 'Electric company had agreed to the
clause la the contract requiting it to ex
tend Its malne whenever sis consumers
ware aequred. on each 600 feet of .such ex

Bar Association.
rUT-IN-BAT, O. lir 11 -tMcretary ef
War Tsft, In his speech, this afternoon
before the State Bar association,, after
apologising for not hating selected a legal
subject, began his address upon the Pannma
canal by giving reasons for lhe selection
by the government of the Pnnama route
and explaining the apparent delay In the
actual work of excavation. The necessity
of Improved sanitary conditions being estab
lished before the actual work of construc
tion was actively , commenced was strongly
emphasised and It 'was shown that the
nearly 25,000 employes had in reality accom
plished more than any one realized. In the
building and equipment ; nf rallroaftls, the
construction of a water Supply and build
ing nf thousnnds of homes for those en
gaged in the work. It wss pointed out
that the actual excava'lon was much less
of a problem than with .what to do with
the material when It wns taken out, much
of which had to be carried fifteen miles.
requiring the building of over 300 miles of
spur tracks. The question of obtaining
labor waa shown to be a serious one and
It had been necessary to employ large num
bers of natives and Chinamen, three of
whom would do less thnn an ver:ige Amer
ican workman. The estimated cost of the
Panama route was placed at 1150,000,000 and
the time of completion about seven years
as against a cost of t300.000.000 and seven
teen years for the completion of the work
had the Nicaraguan route been . chosen.
The speaker said that the American people
were disposed to be In too big a hurry to
"have the dirt fly," and it had been neces
aary for those In charge to withstand 1
great deal of political stress while carrying
out the preliminary work.
mr. xaii spoae wunoui manuscript and
his talk was supplemented with a number

MINNEAPOLIS. July jll.-Robbery Is be
lieved to have been the motive of the
brutal murder of Miss ' Millie Ellls.tn of
Ellsworth, "Wis., who was attacked while
In her room In a local hotel yesterday. The
woma.il Is known 'to have had more than
$2,000 on her person, she having cashed a
draft for that amount at one of the banks
during the day. (When, she appeared at
the. banxj to cash tlii'' ordK . which was
drawn on an lnatitution .in her home town,

answers the description of the suspect
now under arrest at Klrpy,. Wis. His name
Is N. M. RtagK, a' resident tf Minneapolis
and an employe of the Chicago A North
western railway as an .engineer. He met
Miss Ellison some ten rears' ago when she
was employed fn a hotel at the end of his
run. A brother of the. dead woman, who
la now here, tells the following story re
garding the man under arrest at Elroy:
"My sister sold out her millinery busi
ness In Ellsworth with the Intention of In
vesting the money in a farm In Washing
ton which Biggs Is said to have claimed
he had picked out. It was the understand
ing of the girl's family that she waa on
her wedding trip and that she would settle
down In her own home on the farm In
Washington. She took all her money and
negotiable papers with her at the time she
left home. The amount Is variously esti
mated, but I am positive she had at least
$3,000 with her. and it may have been as
much as $H,0O0."
Rlgga will be brought to Minneapolis to

Today's Convention,
NASHVILLE. Tenn.. July ll.-The repub
lican state convention which meets here
tomorrow, has been looked forward to as a
turbulent affair. . The struggle for control
between factions adhering respectively to
the leudershlp of H. Clay Evans and Wal
ter P. Bi-owhlow, congressman from the
Flrt district, has been 'an Interesting one
and until today there haa been every In
dication of a etubborn fight In the Conven
tion. Harmony, however, row promises to
prevail as results of today's' conferences
among the leaders. The program as It ap
peared tonight Is for the nomination of
Evans for governor, while Brawnlow, a-ho
ia now chairman of the state committee,
will retain that position. Congressman
Nathan W. Hale of the Second district, will
be permanent chairman of the convention
If present plans are carried out.
The platform as practlcs-Hy agreed upon
tonight will contain the strongest anti
liquor declaration ever made by a political
party in Tennessee. It will endorse all ex
isting temperance laws and declare for
their extension to the entire state by direct
legislation.
Late tonight It was announced that Mr.
Brownlow will himself be a candidate for
the permanent chairmanship of the conven
tion. This materially changes the aspect
of afTalrs. The Evans' men will support
Hale's candidacy and a warm contest wilt
result, the outcome being In doubt to
night. UNIVERSALIST YOUNG PEOPLE
