These special prayers were suggested

THE PARK ALLOWANCE
THE COUNCIL FINANCE COMMITTEE
FAILS TO AGREE ON 1T.
Minority H0lds Out for CSC. OOO-Ma-
jOrity Want n Water Tower and
Other Things Instead.

The finance committee of the Council de-
cided yesterday to disagree on the appro-
priation ordinance. A meeting was held
in the city clerks Office with all the men,
bers present They agreed to every item
except the appropriation for parks. This.
as it stands in the ordinance. is $4,000.
Councilmen Merritt, Costello and Golfer
wanted the amount to stand as 1t is. but
the other members thought it too much,
in consideration of the fact that there are
other things not provided for that they
considered more urgent. Those opposed to
the appropriation offered to make the
amount $40 900, but the minority would not
consent to this They wanted $4,000. but
finally agreed to allow some cut In the
amount, not to the amount named
by the other members, however. No
agreement could be reached and it
is possible that two reports will be made
tonight, although there was some talk OF
simply returning the ordinance to the
Council with the report that the commit
Messrs. Rauh. Stott, Krauss and Allen
are the members that wanted to cut the
amount They gave as their reason that
when this amount, with the other sums,
is appropriated there will be nothing left
for some things that they consider OF great
Importance. They want enough money
saved to buy water tower and Guild a
house for 1t. They also think there should
be some provision made for properly
cleaning and opening the bed OF Pogue's
rim.

AN ICE CREAM FAMINE.
The Hot Weather Yesterday Almost
Brought One About.

There came near being an ice cream
famine in this city yesterday. The demand
for ice cream soda in the last few days
has taxed the capacity of the creameries
to furnish ice cream In sufficient quantities
and by $50 last night the largest creamer-
les were closed, as all the. cream which
they had on hands had been sold. Many
OF the drug stores over the city ran out
of ice cream early in the evening and tele-
phoned for a fresh supply, but were in
formed that there was no more to be had
Most of the downtown drug stores where
ice cream soda is handled i'm quantities
sent in their orders for an extra supply
early enough TO be accommodated. All
dealers in soda water report that the past
week has been record breaker i'm the
consumption of ice cr.aIn soda. One of the
main drug stores down town sold more
ice cream soda last Saturday than had
ever been sold there in a single day be-
fore. The hot weather has increased the
demand for cooling drinks and yesterday
the soda fountain boys were kept busy
from early morning until late in the night

Special in Chicago Post.


AS soon as Senator Henderson gets back
from Chickamauga he will go before Secre-
tary Carlisle and argue his protest against
the transfer OF the sugar bounty cases to
the Court of Claims. as ordered by Con-
trcller Bowler. AS mentioned in these dis
patches the day after Bowler rendered
his decision the sugar people, for some
unfathomable reason, prefer to go direct
to Congress for redress to taking their
cases into court. On the face of affairs it
would seem as though they would have
small show before the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress. The Senators and Representatives
from Louisiana voted for the repeal of the
Republican tariff laws and the sugar bounty
law with the distinct understanding that
the same Congress was to vote relief TO the
sugar planters. Congress, under pressure.
fulfilled its promise, but the admiRistra-
ton has turned Louisiana down and the
delegation from that State feels that ii
is in the position of the ruralist victim OF
a gold brick game. Nobody questions that
the planters, through their representatives
in Congress, were bunkoed. but the next
Congress is likely TO turn a deaf ear TO
appeals for relief from crowd that sold
out the Republican tariff laws and then
ask the victim TO help collect the price.
Without the vote of the two Louisiana
Senators the sugar bounty clause would
net have been repealed. However the
claimants are in most cases of age and
able TO walk alone, so IL Is presumed that
in preferring Congress to the Court of
Claims they know their business.

One OF the Most Orderly Sundays the
City Has Ever Known.

1t was evident yesterday by the deserted
saloons in the city that II any saloon
keepers had been led to believe that the
surveillance OF the saloons had been with
drawn by the Republican officials until
after the election they had realized that
such a report was a delusion. The tone of
the reports made by the police officers to
Superintendent Powell last night shows
that yesterday was one OF the most orderly

Many of them did not even venture near
their places OF business. while others
learned very early in the day that IL would
be an iinpossiblity TO carry on business.
The drug stores were also closely watched
especially those which the authorities had
reason TO suspect. but no violations I'm that
line were reported. The only Place where
beer was sold was at the Cleveland Club

THREATS FROM ROBY
FRIENDS or THE GOVERNOR ANx-
IOUs AS TO HIS SAFETY.
villainous stories About $1,000
Check Circulated by Emissnries
of the Track People.

Friends CT Governor Matthews have had
reason recently to be anxious on the score
Of his personal safety. He has been re-
ceiving rather more than the usual num-
Der of unsigned letters containing threats
that If he does not cease his hostility to
Roby he will be harmed. The writer's,
among other things. assail him for throw
ing the two thousand men out of work
who are said to be employed when the
races are allowed to run. 1t is from the
class who complain of lost opportunities
for labor that most OF the letters are sup
posed to come, but one is evidently from
a woman who is interested i'm the rents
and profits from the Roby lease. The
writer's show an angry state of mind, and
warns the Governor of dire consequences
to himself If he does not desist. At first
these threats were taken to mean trouble
for the Governor in his political future
but more recently the tone has changed
to one more serious, inasmuch as the for
mer threat had no result in lettering the
Governor. He has. however. in quiet
way taken pains to keep himself posted.
and has had in his employ Chicago de-
tective, who keeps him posted as to all
that is going on or is contemplated at
Roby.
Inc associations winch conduct these
races are incorporated nowhere, and the
only way the State officials have to keep
themselves sufficiently posted to know
enough for the basis of legal proceedings
Is TO employ a detective.
In connection with the enmity toward the
Governor which is felt by the disappointed
race managers at Roby is revived the
check story of bribery which was current
in a general way last winter. 1t was then
charged by the Roby crowd that they had
been assured that for $3.50 they could
secure immunity from further action by the
Governor, and they said they had this as
surance from q relative of the Governor
a man we'll known in Illinois, and one
who had held office They now say that
they have the check which went through
the bank in regular way, Endorsed by the
Governors relative showing that Ii had
been drawn and paid The worst insinua-
ton that can be put upon this circum-
stance is broadly limited by the Roby
crowd, but the fact that the Governor has
never ceased his opposition to them shows
that the money. If ever paid, did not &C
compish the purpose or reach the hands
for which 1T was intended. Indeed. the ef-
ernors opposition to the races. The re-
cent defeat of the Roby gang by the time
ly action of Governor Matthews and At
torney-general Ketcham has exasperated
the Roby managers to such an extent that
they are believed to be Willing to do any
thing to get even with the Governor and
in their clientele doubt many to
whom deeds of darkness and crime are not
strangers.
