Verbal Pyrotechnics Galore in
Issue Over Street Bail
way's Extension.
SOW OVER WELCOME ARCH
Mayor Dahlman. and Commissioner
Butler, at a meeting of the city coun
cil crossed swords in the most acrid
exchange of opinions and personali
ties heard in the council chamber
since the adoption of the commission
form of city government
The chief bone of contention was
the street railway's extension on
Twenty-fourth street, Kansas avenue
to Ida street; whether this extension
would affect the city's case in an ef
fort to determine franchise rights.
"I am here to represent the peo
ple," quoth the mayor, doffing his
coat.
"J also represent the people," re
joined Mr. Butler.
And the Fight Was On.
Commissioner Hummel brought in
a large electric fan and turned it loose
upon the combatants.
"My vote is as big as yours, was
n.vt wrhal nrnirtitf Iiurlprl hv
Butler.
"It is no bigger than mine," re
joined Mayor Jim.
On June 22 the council adopted a
Counsel Lambert, granting to the1
street railway right to make the ex
tension reterred to ana containing
such provisions as in Mr. Lambert's
opinion would protect the city in a
pending effort to determine the legal
status ot tne irancnise oi ine iracuon
comoanv. On July 6, another reso
lution, .drawn by Second Assistant
City Attorney Te Poel and offered
by Commissioner Withnell, was
adopted by the council and the Lam
bert resolution rescinded?
Butler Wins a Heat
Mr. Butler explained that he be
lieved the second resolution was
drawn by the corporation counsel,
but uoon beintt advised by Mr. Lam
bert that s the Te-Poel Mesolntion
would not safeguard the city m its
rights, Butler moved that the Te Poel
resolution be- reconsidered and re
ferred to the legal department He
won out on that contention, being
supported by all except Mayor Dahl
man and Commissioner Withnell.
Then ensued the proposition of
whether the council should or should
not abide by the advice of its corpora
tion counsel in matters of franchises.
"If our corporation counsel cannot
draw a resolution upon which we may
stand, then it is time to polish the
iffice. There seems to be some differ
ences up in the legal department,"
said Mr. Butler.
WBJW4 u VV-J.M..
"This far-fetched business is noth
ing but bunk. I don't care what these
attorneys and bunkaneers say about
it We are here to use our best
judgment for the people. These peo
ple need this extension and you can't
tell me that the extension will inter
fere with our investigation of the
franchise rights of the company when
we get to that matter. I have had
Mr. Lambert working for six months
on this street car franchise matter and
he is not quite ready to report yet
One member of our legal department
says this resolution will not jeopard
ize the rights of the people," was the
next speech by the mayor. .
Mr. Butler then wanted the street
car company notified of the action of
the council and ordered to stop work
on the extension. The notification
will be made, but the work will not
be stopped, this action being the ad
vice of City Attorney Rine.
The difference between the Lam
bert and Te Poel street railway reso
lutions is this: The former recog
nizes that there is some question at
this time regarding the company's
franchise rights; the latter hints at a

EI Paso, Tex., July 11. The Fifth
Massachusetts infantry today was or
dered to the border for patrol duty,
the first of eastern military organiza
tions coming here to see active serv-
ice. Transportation of the guardsmen,
who will be stationed along the bor

at once.
Pennsylvania National Guardsmen
soon will be detailed to the Marathon
district, was announced today, al
though in what force was not made
known.
Marathon was the base of the force
which pursued the Glenn Springs
raiders last May. It is ninety miles
north of Boquillas, which has been
mentioned as the objective of a new
Villa raid, warnine of which was
criven to Washineton bv General Car-
r-nza. It is connected with Boquillasl
by a wagon road and an army tele
graph wire.
Troops going to that vicinity could
release regulars for the border patrol
and would be in a position to rein-

'It would have been folly for him

Chicagoari Makes
Address Before the

Never hesitate to admit you are
green, for when you are green you are
growing. Until you get ripe and stop
growing there is no chance-for decay
to set in, said tlarry IN. lones ot
Chicago, addressing the Northwest
ern Hotel Men's association on the
subject, "Keeping Step with the
Times."
The principal qualifications for
keeping step with the times he classi
fied as co-operation, organization and
the instruction ot employes by em
ployers. Co-operation, according to
Mr. Idles, includes work with other
business men in commercial bodies,
working with men in the same lines
of trade in conventions and associa
tions, and co-operation- of 'the em
ployer jand the employe for mutual
benefit.

ing the United Commercial Travelers,
rtad a Daocr embodying the wishes
of the traveling men in regard to ho

ly directed against the small hotel in
towns of less than 3,000 population.
He said that. althouKh there are laws
reauirine decent conditions in these
hotels, and an inspector who is sup
posed to enforce them and inspect tne
hotels, the conditions have not been
remedied because the inspector stays
in the large and better hotels where
he can be comfortable and allows the
small hotels to run themselves.

vocational instruction he is giving to
the employes of the Hotel Fontcnelle.

Matrimonial Tangles of J. R,
Williams Take a New Turn
One Wife Wants Decree.
MAY VOID OTHER MARRIAGE
The matrimonial j tangles of J. R.
Williams, which have been in district
court, almost constantly for more than
a year, assumed a new phase in a
hearing in Judge Sear's court yester
day. In this case one wife, Mrs. Jean
ette Williams, is asking for a decree
of separation. Matters are compli
cated by the fact that Williams is
now married to another bride, snd
that should the decree of separation
be granted hi last marriage will be
invalid, and fee himself automatically
made: bigamist,' H claims that ht
has already been divorced.
Mrs. Jeanette Williams was on the
Stand mosf of the morning. ' She tes
tified that she married Williams in
September;, 1907, and - that early in
1915 ihe applied for a divorce upon
representations by Williams that he
had accepted a $5,000 a year position
in South America, had sworn himself
to be a single man in order to get
the job and would go to the peniten
tiary for perjury unless she divorced
him. " '
In order to .save him from the peni
tentiary, she testified, she applied for
a divorce and was granted a decree.
Has Decree Bet Aside.
Later, however, she . said, she
learned that Williams had not gone
to South America, -and was planning
to remarry. She accordingly applied
to have the decree set aside, which
was done.
Williams then came into court and
asked that the decree to set aside,
the divorce also be set aside, and ob.
tained her consent to the order by
misrepresentation, so she alleges.
Later she learned that he was
planning to be married to his ste
nographer, Miss Caroline Neef, and
again asked to have the decree set
aside, which Judge Sears did on De
cember 24, 1915. This decree is claim
ed to be invalid by Williams.
On the next day Williams was mar
ried to Miss Neef at Columbus, Neb.
While Mrs. Williams was on the
stand, the other Mrs. Williams sat
with Williams and listened to the
testimony which may make her mar
riage void and her husband a bigam
ist. ' 1 - ' .-

British Paper Sees in Submarine
Feat Threat to American Navy
London, July 11. "We are quite
ready to join in the laugh against our
selves and to applaud the skill and
daring of the captain, who appears to
us as a sportsman and has earned his
laurels cleanly," says the Manchester
Guardian, referring to the German
submarine, Deutschland.
The Guardian says that plans for
submarines of 3,000 to 4,000 tons ex
isted in Germany and England before
the war, but that such vessels were
not built because of the time required
to submerge them and the impossibil
ity of submerging in shallow water.
It points out that the Australian sub
marine A E-2 went from Australia to
the Dardanelles and says that it the
captain and :rew of the Deutchland
are members of the Imperial German
navy the submarine may be dealt with
as a naval auxiliary. Otherwise it is
a blockade runner, which could be
ordered to sto ; if it attempted to
submerge, it would be justifiable to
sink it
: "It is unlikely," the guardian con
tinues, "that the moral of the appear
ance in American waters of a German
submarine will be missed after the
threats of Count von Reventlow and
the other Tirpitz writers last spring.
They warned America it was not too
far away for Germany's arm to reach
it. Although the Deutschland may be
disarmed, it is none the less a threat
to the American navy." .

NAVAL OFFICERS INSPECT
Washington, July 11. On the
strength of advice from navy experts
who inspected the Deutschland at '
Baltimore today, the Treasury de
partment informed the State depart
ment that the German merchant sub
marine was an unarmed freight car
rier which could not be converted for
offensive use without . "extensive
structural changes." , ,
The Treasury department . acted
after receiving the following telegram
from Collector Ryan at Baltimore:
"In company with Captain Hughes,
I have made a thorough inspection of
the Deutschland. Alt spaces except
those occupied by cargo and oils were
visited. There is no evidence that
this ship is armed or can be armed
without extensive structural changes.
I reaffirm my statement of yesterday 1
that this ship is a merchant vessel.
A complete and detailed report will
be mailed tonight" -
The statement will make no an
nouncement regarding the statu of ,
the submarine before tomorrow.

London, July 10. A report that '
the sister snip to the German sub

According to the version of the

Washington, July 11. Representa
tions have been made to the State de
partment iy the British and Fiencti .
embassies, setting up the claim that
the German merchant submarine,
Deutschland, Is potentially a warship, .
even though designed anl used as a
merchantman.
The department will take the em-'
busies' views under consideration in '
connection with the report of Captain
Hughes, the American naval exoert.
who is making a physical examination
of the big submarine in Search Of any .
warlike equipment.
Before the arrival of the Deutsch
land, acting upon the basis of reports- ,
in the press that a submarine was due
at an American port, Colville Bar
clay, the British counsellor and
charge d'affaires in the temporary ab
sence of Sir Spring-Rice, communica-

of his government regarding the use
of any underwater craft in commer

French ambassador, also hat been in
communication with the department
, All Submarines Warships.
From the allies' point of view, my
submarine is essentially a warship.
The United States, Great Britain and
France agree on the doctrine that it it
illegal o change the character of a
merchant ship into a cruiser or priva- -teer
on the high seas, but the Ger-
man government always has insisted
upon that right. Consequently, it it
argued, it would be no violation of : t
