A Chicago Doodle Fight

One hundred thousand dollars was the
price asked from the. Chicago Gas Trust
companies Tuesday afternoon by repre-
sentatives of the council committee on
gas, oil and electric light for an adverse
committee report on the franchise ordi-
nance of the Garden City Gas company.
When the demand was made on n off,
cial of the Gas Trust by notorious 60
between for the aldermen, the official
called up the New York representatives
of the trust by telephone and told them
of the proposition, the nature of the
ordinance, and how it might conflict
with the frontage and consolida ton law,
which goes into effect July 1.
The reply he received was that he
should have nothing to do with the al
dermen. and to reject their offer. This
answer was given to the go-between,
and he carried it to the aldermen. They
held conference, and then decided that t
for $4,000 they would report the ordi-
nance adversely.
This second offer was taken to the Gas
Trust official and refused. as the first
one had been. Then the ordinance was
rushed into the council and sent to the
committee. The committee met yester-
day afternoon and reported the ordi-
nance for passage, together with the
Commonwealth Electric company's or
dinance, which was also introduced
Tuesday night.
The attempt to sandbag the Gas
Trust was not only told yesterday by an
official of the trust. but by aldermen who
had been informed of the setback Of the
aldermanic gang. The names of the al
dermen concerned in the deal were men,
toned; also that Of the go-between, and
the full plot exposed. Even If the ordi-
nance passes in the council the Gas
Trust has given notice that it will not
expend one dollar to fight it. The gang
aldermen can only pass it out of re-
venge.-Chicago Times Herald.

Cities as a talisman, and that it was pill
fered by Coronado in 1910, but before he
could escape the scepter was recaptured
by the Toltecs, the scene of the battle be-

THE U. s, LAND COURT.
An Adverse opinion Handed Down in
ayaiencia County Case.

The United States court of private land
claims, Chief Justice Reed presiding and
all the associate Justices being present,
this morning handed down an opinion
rejecting the Otto de las Medanos grant
claim, involving 69,443 % acres of land in
Valencia county as per the conrt oaien-
dar and four square leagues as the testi-
mony disclosed.
1t was commended that the four square
leagues of land in controversy were
granted to Antonio Sandoval in 1919. The
court holds that only temporary posses
sion WAS given to Sandoval and that this
was abandoned within three years after
the alleged grant was made.
Hon. Frank W. CLANCY represented the
claimants and Mr.. W. H. Pope appeared
for the government.
The court then adjourned until 2 p. m.
