crime the municipal corporation has no
power 20 impose another penalty for the
same crime unless such power be conierreo
By express terms.
The question Il q new one IN this state.
although IL has been raised several times
in other states, and there ara several de-i-
SONS on both sides. Judge Glasgow took
the matter under consideration.
But Considine is not trusting his case
altogether 20 his attorney. There are two
things he believes nigh.ier than the law
his coin and his fist. He brought both
into play yesterday and last night. but
instead of helping his case it - pretty
certain that they will cause him consider
able more trouble.
Ii seems that among the prosecuting
witnesses agains. Ccnsidine's crap game
are Jack Cameron and W. /. Wilson. both
OF Van ASSET. After court adjourned
Cameron told Wilson that Considine had
asked him to come down 10 his place. and
he said he guessed he would 60 snd see him
because he could get better thing
out Of Considins by .'screwing his
nut" than he could By staying here
to testify against the gamblers He said
Considine had offered him $40 70 skip.
whereas if he stayed he would get only
500 witness fees He wanted Wilson TO
90 with him to Considine's theater. At
first Wilson refused, but later in
the evening Considine sent for him
again, and Wilson finally went. At
first Considins told him he could
make more money by playing for him
than he could by playing for the state
Wilson refused to sell out and Considine
abused him. Finally. when Wilson left
and was going downstairs, Considine
jumped on him and gave him several
hard punches. cutting Wilson's ear and
face in two or three places.

WILL ADOPT A NEW SYSTEM

OF Paying the Employees OF the City
The Board OF Finance Not Satisfied
With the Present Plan.
The board of finance met yesterday and
approved the weekly payrolls of the vsri-
ous departments, as follows: Board of pub
llc works, 81 ,432 50; police. s., 85s. 4s; FIRE,
81, 536 70; health, STA. The employees of
all these departments will receive checks
to day. This will be an innovation for the
members of the police, hre and health de-
partments. as heretofore they have received
their pay every two weeks.
The board also discussed at length the
new system of paying the employees, and in
the minds of the majority of the committee
the new system had not been q success,
and IL was thought IL should be abolished
and some other method employed. After
some discussion 1t was decided to allow the
men to be paid this week by the new sys-
tenn and at the next meeting the board Will
take action regarding the adoption Of some
other system. 1t was proposed as q way
out of the difficulty that the clerk of the
board of public works should be placed
under bonds and that he should hereafter
be compelled to pay the men. 1t Is very
probable that this plan may be adopted for
trial next week, and also that pay day
will be changed from Friday to Saturday.
