NO COSTA RICAN DICTATORSHIP.
Reports to the Contrary Effect De-
nied-The Real Situation.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., october g.
Senior Calvo, the Costa Rican representa-
tive here, states positively that the re-
ports that President Iglesias. of Costa
RIGA, has proclaimed himself dictator,
are without foundation. Mr.. Calvo re-
ceived advices from his government to-
day, which show conclusively that no
dictatorship exists. He has also received
a copy of the official decree. which doubt
less gave rise to the reports of a Dictator
ship. The decree was issued by the per-
manent commission of Congress, and not
by the President and is limited to sus-
pension of the right of habeas corpus for
sixty days from September 10TH ms.
the decree states, is in accordance with
section of the Constitution. The de-
cree gives the President no unusual
power. 1t is signed by President lgle-
sias. and is the only decree of an ex-
traordinary character issued Of late.
Mr.. Calvo says that the disorder which
occurred at Santo Domingo w9s tempo
rary. and wholly in the nature OF a local
riot. 1t was this riot which gave occa-
sion, under the Constitution, for the sus-
pension of the writ of habeas corpus.
Mr.. Calvo believes that the suspension
will be vacated even before the sixty days
of it's existence expires, as the need for
IL has passed away

ELECTRIC ORDINANCE REFERRED.
Light Committee Found That IL
ShcuId Go TO Streets.

The Council Committee on Light heio
special meeting In Room No. OF the
City Hall last night for the purpose Oh
further considering the matter OF grant
ing the right to the Southern Electric
Company and the Home Electric COM
pany TO do general electrical business
here. City-Attorney Meredith, reptesen-
tatives OF the two companies, and Messrs'
Starke chairman, Hardwicke, HAWKINS
Noble, Tanner, Vaughan. and wafer
stein. OF the committee. were present.
Mr. Meredith presented the new ordl-
nance granting the privileges asked, which
he had prepared by direction of the com
mittee. After the reading of this measure
the point was raised that inasmuch as
the use of the city's streets was one OF
the main questions involved, the matter
should be considered by the Street COM
mittee. Some general discussion ensued'
and the body heard statements from Mr..
Phil. u. SHIELD counsel for the Southern.
and Mr.. w. +. Reddy, the attorney OF
the Home Electric Company.
Mr. Hardwicke took the ground that
the Light Committee could not act upon
an ordinance which would give corpora
tons or citizens the right to use the
city's streets. He moved that the papers
be sent to the Council with the recon-
that they be forwarded to the
Committee on Streets. This was adopted
after being so amended as to carry with
II the approval of the Light Committee
to have competition in the city in the
and power business.
