THE MAYOR SPEAKS.
The Uproar Was Due
to Mr.. Adams.
ALDERMAN LOST HIS HEAD.
Mr.. Carroll Willing to Leave the Mat
ter to Any Parliamentarian.

After the meeting OF the Board of AL
dermen last night Mayor Carroll said the
whole trouble was caused by Mr.. Adams.
The Mayor said:
"iIe got so angry and lost his temper at
not having his own way In putting
through some OF his pet schemes that he
forgot where he stood.
"He insultod me in his references, and
don't think ! showed any temper IN my
reply. His first motion was 10 concur
with the Common Council in reference to
the contract for street lights. That was
the proper motion before the Board OF
Aldermen.
"The matter was argued by tho Alder
mon, and gave my reasons for saying it
was illegal and irregular, and had my
reasons read, which had prepared.
"While the electric light question was
pending, after my message had been read,
Alderman Adams, In anger and hastiness,
forgot he made any such motion as con
curing with the Common Council in the
electric light matter and made a moton
to reinstate the 10 policemen without loss
OF time or pay and have them assigned to
beats, something which is entirely out OF
order and something which does not come
within the jurisdiction of tho City Coun-
ell.
81 ruled the motion out oflorder. They
did not appeal, but Mr.. Adams asked the
President OF the Board TO put the motion
and called him TO order and ordered him
to take his scat. AS he refused to do so
] called upon special constable who was
present, to remove him from the room.
81 will leave it TO any parliamentarian
in the United States as to whether was
right or wrong, and would be willing to
abide by such a decision. ] had half a
dozen special constables in the room, and
IL the Board wish TO fight they can have
a chance every night"
Alderman Miller said he has been ex-
pccting 1t, but Alderman Davis wouldn't
