council would meat next Friday afternoon
at 3 o'oleek to consider tha apeclal re
port of tha auditor on the finance of
the city the drUb-rations of tha city coun
cil were dreary Munich.
Tha auditor's upon haa been received
some time now and tha mayor has arced
its consideration on tha memnera of the
council several times. Notwithstanding
the report pertains nu matters of gravest
import to the city, tha couarllmen for
some reason seem relcatant to attack the
proposition.
Mayor Trainor prepares a brief of the
principal polo is of the report yesterday,
but on promise of tha council that the
matter would be taken up and settled at
the meeting Friday afternoon hla hoaor
withheld his special massage.
After postponing tha matter tor one
week, tha award of the stationary can'
tract was made last night to tha Eton
Stationery company with tha understanding-
that the brands and makes of tha dif
ferent items be specified. Councilman
"Walters of the First wand voted in the
negative. Walters from tha beginning
maintained that tha supplies might ha pur
chased with greater aoonomy on tha open
market. His opposition one week ago re
sulted In the award of tha contrast being
deferred until now.

damage claims presented by i. 11. Tao

of improvement bonds were sold to Rob

Bead reaapaar WIU Decline.
Day by day the certainty grows that
tha Speer company of Chicago- will la
the end refuse to accept the tlM.ftW, re
newal bonds lately offered to them at a
i per cent rate. Tha sale of this issue
has been more or less a "cause celsbre"
In local circles because of the extraor
dinary means taken by the local banks
to ears the credit of the city when the
refunded issue became due on January L
When the bonds were advertised at t
per cent severs! bond firms responded
and presented bids. - The bids however
were either at per cent or baerd on a
I per cent rate. A fight ensued In which
the administration .wae divided. At the
last minute Bpeer 1 a- 80 as entered the
market and bid In the bonds at 4 per
cent, much to the delight of the mayor
and his supporters.
Since the award of the contract A peer
Sons have Indulged in a policy of delay
such as would Indicate their unwillingness
to consummate the deal.
While there has been no definite re
fusal from the Chicago house, certain
expressions in their correspondence Inti
mate their Intention to- call off tha deal.
What was considered a particularly bad
omen was the arrival of a representative
. fiom one of the rival bond houses yester
day. The new bond buyer, Mr, Eastman,
represents Ppltser Co. of Toledo, O.
It Is expected that In the event the Chi
cago house withdraws from the deal a
new sale wlU be sffected at i per cent
rate.

w Appearance.
NEW YORK. Jan. a.-The political
atmosphere In the east was further
charged last Bight by ths first appearance
in this section of Senator Robert M. La
Follette ef Wisconsin, since he an
nounced his candidacy aa s "progres
sive republican" for the presidential
nomination.
Clfford Pinchot a close friend of for
mer President Roosevelt who has been
regarded aa s staunch Roosevelt lieu
tenant appeared with Senator La Fol
lette and presided at the meeting. He
presented the senator aa "the candidate
I support for the republican presidential
nomination."
While the meeting was under way the
crowd which sought admittance grew to
such proportions that the police would
not allow a further tax upoa the capa
city of the large ball and an overflow
meeting was held In the street which
the Wisconsin senator addressed while
those Inside were listening to Mr. Pla-
cbot
When the senator was finally led to
the platform in the hall, ths audience
rose and shouted, women waved hand
kerchiefs and cheers were given for him
as "the next president of the United
Ststes." I
"Our fathers provided that each state
should send two representatives to con
gress ttuelr senators) nut to represent
the steel trust nor the money trust nor
Standard OIL but all the people of the
state,' he said. "We bare either ths
beat government or no government Our
fathers established It as a purely repre
sentative government la It so today?
("Cries of No! No! No! It at not It
is no government at all. )
Mr. La Foiletta outlined five distinct
propositions of the progressive republi
cans. When ths speaker mentioned the
recall as one ef the progressive doctrines,
voice from the gallery shouted:
"Would you recall a Judge?"
"I paused to have that question asked,"
said the senator, "you would not have
asked that question, my friend. If you
knew me. You would know that I
would speak of It before I left ths sub
ject I am always ready and willing to
explain my position upon every public
question to wblch I have given thought
Hence I cams to New York tonight pre
pared to say that I favor tha recall for
the Judiciary."
Applause greeted this utterance,
"Now I am going to disappoint you,"
said the senator. "1 favor the recall of
the judiciary but with restrictions and
reservations with which I would not
surround the recall of legislators or
executives. .
I do not deli- the bench. I do not
feel that lot Inspiration always la divine.
When the court forgets Its function Is
to construe the law as written by ths
legislature and usurps ths functions of
the legislature by writing words Into
that law, I believe there Is Justification
on that score alune for tha recall of the
Judiciary.
1 will not try to veil my sBssnlng-I
mean the supreme court of these United
States. When members of that court
wrote Into the Sherman anti-trust law
the very words which congress had re
fused to write into that law, they went
outside tbelr function." (Applause.)
Someone called out, "Where do yo
stand en the female suffrage question r"
"1 believe In democracy," shouted the
senator. "I believe that the women or
a community nave the same right te ex
press political Judgment upoa the ques
tions which affect their home), their
lives, the society In which they move and
the conditions under which they move,
aa 1 have. Why, equal laftrage has
passed the stage of argument We eould
not stop It If we wanted to. and I tell
you you will be ashamed of yourselves
In a few fears If you do try, to stop It
now." ' - v"

NEROSITYof cqriipment is often a fair indication of
V-J thoroughness in the whole make-up of a car. It is so
in the case of the Oldsmobile. We have never handled nor
even heard ofa car so completely prepared for immediate hard
usage, from the moment it passes from our hands to yours.
The top and boot for same are no
longer extras on any model of Olds
mobile, but form a part of its reg
ular equipment at no increase in
tha total price. These top and
covers are made by Olda Motor
Works in their own shops and
fitted to the cars at tha factory.
Demountable Rime, used on the
highest-priced cars, are regular
equipment on the Oldsmobile.
Furthermore, an extra rim for the
spore tire and tbe necessary tire
irons of tbe latest design are also
provided.
Then, in addition to a long list of
minor mxtMKtiuaicotiymitBce,
such as robe-rails, foot -rests, trunk-
racks, etc, each Oldsmobile carries
a reliable Speedometer of standard
make.
The lighting arrangements are more
than adequate. Side and rear lamps
are of the combination oil and elec
tric pattern. Tbe powerful head
lights, using acetylene gas from a
Preet-O-Lrte tank, which ia part of
the regular equipment, have auto
matic ignitora operated from
driver's seat
Some cars are advertised as selling
with "touring equipment," but the
absolute completeness and the high
quality of the Oldsmobile equip
merit deserve our special mention
in a special advertisement.
You can start across the country with one of
these cars just as soon as the tanks are filled.
