SPECIAL SESSION.
Council Deals With the Telephone Ordnance
Other Quest ions Introduced.

Council met in special session yesterday
promptly at 8 p. M, with his honor and
Councilmen Healy. Pratt, Buckridge,
Downing, Simison, Glaze and Stone pres
ent. Before the reading of the call had
been completed Mr.. English arrived. The
meeting was called TO consider the teie-
phone ordinance and before it was read
City Attorney Dyer gave an account of his
communication with Mr.. Mulvane, presi-
dent of the Missouri-Kansas telephone
company. Having drawn up the ordi-
nance according to agreement between the
council and Mr.. Mulvane and sent it to
that gentleman it was somewhat changed.
the most objectional as decided by the
council was giving the franchise for a
period of twenty years instead OF i've
years. The ordinance allows the company
TO do business in the city without paying
any license, but the company gives the city
fire alarm service and gets three boxes for
nothing and all other boxes used by the
city are given at half price. The section
stating that either the city or the company
is compelled to notify the other.six months
after term of five years was objected to
by Buckridge and Downing and a motion
made for the franchise to expire at the
end of five years. After considerable dis
cussion the motion lost and section re-
manned unchanged.
The ordinance passed unanimously.
Mr. Healv stated that the insurance men
of the city were Directing to the Schuyler
electric light company. Their care
lessness had of late been costing
the city and companies several
hundred dollars. Several fires had been
caused by their carelessness and the insur-
ance companies were threatening to raise
the rates The question he thought of
especial importance as it meant an outlay
of cold cash sure from the whole town I'M
less the companies could witness change
in danger from accidents. There was no
time or chance for fooling as it had long
since been demonstrated that insurance
companies would not stand any monkey
business, not even from the state of KAN
sas, much less from one of its cities. The
threatened raise on insurance would cost
the city several thousand dollars annu-
ally.
As it was special meeting
of the council to attend to the
telephone ordinance nothing was done
Will the matter IHIFOuuCcu ny MI Icdiy.
1t was suggested however, by others that
the matter was worthy of prompt and
close attention, and the committee on
lights will at an early date call on that
company for investigation, hoping for a
happy solution. The most serious trouble,
it is claimed, originates with the fact that
the company allows lights to go with
out globes, which gives the sparks from
the carbon chance to fall in dangerous
places. This remedied, it is thought will
decrease the liability for accident to such
an extent as to cause insurance companies
to allow the present rate to remain.

FREAK OF 4 DRUNKEN MAN.

Yesterday shortly after noon a man
crazed by drink cansed quite an excite
ment on Maple near the corner of Martin
son avenue. According TO the information
received by the officers the man tried to
break into several houses by battering
down the doer. In all of the residences
the men were away and the women and
children thus left by themselves were
badly frightened. At last, two men ap-
parently his companions came along in a
buggy and after using a great deal per-
suasion and some force succeeded in get
ting the drunken man into the vehicle.
After they thus succeeded in putting him
in the buggy he pulled from his pocket a
large knife which be attempted 70 use and
which was wrenched from him and thrown
away only with the greatest difficulty
The three then came east and drove across
the Maple street bridge. Officer Fenner
said that he was told of the occurrence by
several persons; yet TO all of them the man
appeared to be a stranger.

NEW POLICE COMMISSIONERS.

c.. f. Martin and NJ. S. Rochelle we be
lieve have been named to fill the places on
the police commission made vacant by the
resignation of General Eggleston and w.
B. Jones. AS probably not to exceed three
or four hundred out of Wichita's five
thousand voters have any use for the law
which creates and maintains such com
mission the position is an unenviable one
But all good citizens will uphold the law
and its officers until relieved in a legiti-
mate way No doubt the outgoing officers
tried hard to,sdo their whole duty, but
they were continually under hot fire from
one element and harassed by a
pressure from the large MAORI
ty, with the law breakers laying
awake of nights devising ways to circum-
vent them. The weight and element of
moral support is and always will be lack
ing in government that does not come
from and of the people governed. This is
as true of Wichita as it is of Ireland or of
Russia 1t is not the men but the system.
The only thing to be done, the only advice
we can give the new commissioners Is,
give us good straightforward citizens,
whose records are above reproach for po-
licemen, and conscientiously and properly
discharge your duties without reference to
this or that element, taking the law itself
as your only guide, the sole object of
which law was to render you independent
of local desires and above and beyond the
opinions or control of the community
while acting as terror to evil doors Out
of Kansas million and half of people
the inhabitants of only three towns have
been forced TO live under this rule. None
of the other towns are even threatened,
being permitted to impose their own fines
and collect their own revenues and
thus laws are more strictly and
clearly enforced in them, because
the executive officers are sustained by
the moral sentiment Of the people whose
free choice they were. If the fact, how
ever, that the knowledge that Mr.. Martin
or Mr.. Rochelle could possibly be elected
by this people to the position which they
have been commissioned should weigh..with
them in the discharge of their duties, they
will fail. They must, if they would be
successful. therefore act independently,
not only of all factions and all parties, but
independently OF all other executive au-
thoritles, act for the whole people over
whom they have been set to rule until
such time as the men who make our laws
shall consent and permit US again TO elect
ort- r,lerS
