had been another lapse in the matter Of
certain advertising. necessary to precede.
by so many days, their action on certain
street work. which they were anxious to
forward. The one extra day was all that
was necessary, so they agreed to meet yes
terday and transact the business.
Judge DaiDgerfield had remained away
on Monday out of respect for the resolu-
ton ordering him off their preserves,
passed by the Supervisors at the previous
m Getting and which had said, with solemn
emphasis and directDess. that never again
should any court, body of men or individ-
ual meet in the rooms of the Supervisors
and directing that the officers of the board
see that the intent of the resolution be car
ried out
The regular meeting day of the board is
Monday and Judge Daingerfed. as stated,
respected the tenure of Office of the ser
geant-at-arms, on whom this hazardous duty
of flying in the face of the courts de-
volved, and remained away. But two days
in succession was too much. Besides, how
was he to anticipate the action of the
board in adjOurning to meet next day?
lie thought he was meeting the conditions
when he adjourned over one day.
So when the Supervisors came to assem-
bic yesterday afternoon, Judge Danger
field was again occupying the Mayors
high chair, which. as viewed from the
clerks desk below, once more threw his
head in high relief. SO to speak, against the
badly executed picture of George Washing
ton and his white horse.
The repeated reference to the objection
able picture OF George Washington, in this
connection, might appear trih pg if it were
at all possible to break away from the

Four several times have the Supervisors
declared by resolution that nobody shall
occupy their rooms without their permits
sion, and Judge Daingerfield, without ask
Ing their permission, goes right along
holding court there. Not only that, but
again, Ouce again, in spite of the last iron
clad resolution that had bolts 10 it, turned
them out of the room when they desired to
meet tor the passing of important legisa-
tiun.
Can anybody understand how uncom-
Portable it must be for these legislators TO
come together and look even a very bad
picture of George Washington in the face
after tbat-al ter saying what they did and
it falling so far out with the facts?
To be sure they don't have to look the
horse in the face. for he is turned the
other way. The presumption goes that be

he is physically defective. How &c rye

One can understand how he would
hesitate to speak of him at any time, but
he could not forever evade the subject. a
military man must talk about his horse.

him and telling the truth about him, as. Of
course, he did, ones opinion Of the great
man Is UNNECESSARILY increased, high as il
may have been.
But this is report of a meeting of the
Supervisors. The sergeant-at.arms. when
he discovered that Judge Daingerfield was
holding court in the Supervisors room
and recalled the fact that the board eX-
pected TO meet there That day. broke out
with cold perspiraton; but that did mol
help the matter any.
He went INTO the room and looked at the
Judge. allowed his eye to roam slowly
over the ga hered lawyers, witnesses and
all the rest OF 1t, aud realized thai the
leaden heel Of Justice was fixed mmova-
bly, upon that spot for that day. He was
helpless in the matter. Slowly he recalled
that second part of the resolutions-''and
it shall be the duty of the officers of this
board to see to it that the intent Of this
resolution is carried out"
But how could he prevent court from
doing business here if the court wanted
to, anyhow? He put the question to Clerk
Russel, who assured him that courts

he ;rifled with. Mr.. Russell explained the
situation to the Supervisors. There was
bare majority OF them present, and in the
weakness of their numbers not one of
them ventured into the courtroom. The
Election Commission had possession of
the Board of Education rooms and the Sn-
peryisnrs were literally homeless. They
gathered in one of their small COMMITTEES

was the consideration of the passing of
the resolution granting Adolph Sutr0 the

do the work the city would, for il was de-
termined that he should have no excuse
for not going ahead with the building of
his railroad so far as the city is concerned
The Grading referred to is the hump on

1t was also expected that City and
County Attorney Creswell would have his
