FIRE MATTERS.
Proceedings at Yesterdays Meeting of
the Board.

Proceedings at Yesterdays Meeting of
the Board.
Colonel Moore, chief the fire depart
ment, will soon be riding about in 1925
new buggy, and the electrician of the
department will have the colonel's old
buggy as his equipage. The colonel eaid
yesterday to the board of commissioners
that the buggy was not safe to ride in,
so he was authorized to get new one.
J. III. Hogan, electrician, reported
progress in connecting alarm boxes at
Central avenue and Washington street.
Central avenue and Twelfth street, and
Seventh and Mateo streets. As the cir
cult in which these boxes are to be ia
twelve and one-half miles and the extra
line will increase it to sixteen
and one-half miles, it is neces
sary to shorten it so that the entire
system would not be rendered
imperative. When completed with all
the above mentioned new boxes the
circuit will be about twelve and one
half miles, the length at present. The
territory covered by the line when COM
pleted will extend from Central avenue
on the east to Figueroa street on the
west and from Third street ON the north
to Thirty-second street on the south.
Several ordinances referring to the re-
moval of garbage were referred to the
chief.
The councils order to readvertise for
bids for an engine house lot near Bel
mont avenue and First street, was re-
ceived.
Chief Moore recommended that the
relief fund be drawn on for payment OF
the surgeons bills and incidental ex-
penses caused to Assistant Chief Mo-
riarty by the loss of his foot, and that
the assistant chief be given leave of
absence in which to visit San Francisco
to procure an artificial foot, and the
board approved the proposition.

that no assistance could be furnished
the prosecution. A demurrer to the in
dictment was then presented by Tison,
and the court adjourned to March 2Sth.

JEFFERSON'S BIRTHDAY.
The Event Celebrated With Great Eclat
at Ann ArbOr University.


at Ann Arbor University.
ANN ARBoR, Mich, April 13. -Jeffer-

evening by the Democratic club of the

present were Hon. Don M. Dickinson of

retary of State Rawley. President Ewing
OF the Iroquois club, Chicago, and repre-
sentatives of nearly every city in the
state.
President Curtis, OF the club, intro.
duced Mr.. Dickinson as toast master,
and he eulogized Jefferson as the found
er OF the Democratic political creed.
Governor Winans, who followed, well
coined the guests of the evening and re-
ferred to the tariff and currency issues
which would come up in the campaign,
and said that the Democratic party
could not fail to profit by the discussion.
Hon. w. o. Ewing was next intro
duced. Among other things General
Ewing said: True Democracy
does not consist in simply pro-
Tossing the doctrines of jefferson, but
in applying them to our political en-
vironment. II the Democratic party
will adhere fearlessly and faithfully to
the great political demand of the hour,
tariff reform, and will have the wisdom
to choose as its leader that marvellous
man, Grover Cleveland, we will 60 forth
to great victory"
The other speakers were Hon. H. E.
Barkwarth, of Jackson; j. Enright, of
Detroit, and w. H. Russell of Detroit.
Hon. w. G. P. Breckenridge spoke in an
eloquent vein on the future of Democ-
racy." Many letters of regret were re-
ceiyed from prominent Democrats.
4 CELEBRATION AT THE HUB.
BosToN, April 13,-The members of
the Young Mems Democratic club cele-
brated the anniversary of the birth of
Thomas Jefferson by banquet tonight.
Gen. John w. Oorcoran presided. Gov
ernor Russell received great ovation.
He spoke ably for tariff reform.
Congressman Horter of Ohio followed.
After touching upon the tariff question,
Horter broached the subject Of silver,
and said Jefferson's idea was that
melted metal should possess the
same value as when it bears the
stamp of the United States. He was
right then, and will be till the end of
time. He prophesied the nomination of
Cleveland (whose name was re-
ceived with great applause)
and some other equally outspoken
opponents of class legislation, and the
permanent return of the Democratic
party to power.
Other speakers were John E. Russell,
Edwin Atkins and Josiah Quincy.

OMAHA, April 13.-Nearly all the del
egates to the Democratic state conven-
tion, which meets here this morning,
have arrived, and struggle fol- suprem-

confident OF success.

convention to order, and announced

a strong sentiment against instructing
the delegation to Chicago. Another
contest is anticipated for tomorrow

age of silver.
