Wheelock had been presented, by busi-
ness men and gardeners who had re-
quested him to prevent the market now
operated on West Third street from be-
ing removed
Attorney Walsh called Mr.. Thomp-
sons attention to an opinion of the
corporation attorney, which was to the
effect that the property owners having
objected, the; city had no legal right to
collect money from those standing on
the street and using the thoroughfareS
as market. Mr.. Thompson said 1t
was mistake and that the business
men ana property owners did not OBJ
1ect to the street being used as a mar
ket He offered to bring a large num-
Der or ment1before the committee to
prove his assertions, and in order to
give MN am opportunity, the matter
was laid over two weeks.
PRESIDENT Wheelock, Of the park
board, had acresblution ready for pas
sage at meeting of that body last
evening protesting against the pro-
posed action of the board of aldermen.
which bodyt is now considering the
question OF usingSSmith park as pub
nc market There was no quorum Of
the park board and consequently the
resolution went over until the next
meeting
The assistant secretary of the board
USl 10 the Ire OF the pTeSlueuC
OF the board by announcing that Mar
ket Master Duffy had informed him
tnat by reason of the objections of cer-
tam property owners on West Third
street, the market teams had been
moved to the streets and sidewalks
surrounding Rice park President
Wheelock said there has been no per-
mission given the market master to
allow gardeners to use Rice park, and
the matter would be attended to at
once.
PRESIDENT Wheelock said the idea OF
using Smith park for a public market
was absurd. Some years ago an eff
Iort mad been made to dispose of the
property as a real estate speculation,
the Idea advanced at that time being
that the 100000 secured from the sale
could be turned over to the city and
used to purchase and improve other
| park properties.
There might have been some sense
| IN this plan,' said President Wheelock,
but to use the park now as a public
| market would not only be absurd, but
an injustice to the public"
In the meantime Aid. Sanborn, from
| the committee on streets. of the alder
| man, is looking up authorities as to
the question of whether under the dedi-
cation of Smith park to the city as a
public square the land cannot be
used for public market.

Members of Park Board on the Mar

The matter of public markets is be-

the city government. At the meeting
Of the committee on streets, of the as
sembly, yesterday afternoon, a propo-
sition from F. H. Wheelock, Offering to
donate g. tract of land at the corner of
Ninth and Broadway for a public mar
ket was brought up. Mr.. Wheelock
was represented by Attorney George
Walsh, and the attorney and Assem-
blyman Thompson had little tilt over
the proposition. Wheelock agrees to
deed to the city the property at the
end OF ten years providing the city
designates the ground as a public mar
ket and allow him to collect the fees
during that time
Assemblyman Thompson, who is en-
gagged in the commission business on
Third street, stated that the public
wanted the market retained on that
street. He had been. he said, annoyed
to death since the proposition of Mr..

DENIED SHE WAS DRUNK,
But Her Lapse of Memory Called for
- Fine,

When Gabrielle Hale, a woman ar
rested at Seventh and Robert streets
Sunday night, was charged with drunk
enness in the police court yesterday,
she vented her Indignation by declar-
ing the accusation against her a lie.
The woman did not mutter her denial
to herself, but created something of a
scene by shouting:
According to Officer Morse the
woman and several companions had
been guilty of! unseemly conduct, but
the policeman was not allowed to tell
his story without. receiving abuse from
the accused. The woman declared she
had not been drunk and insisted she
had simply been showing her friends
about the city. When asked their
names by the court the womans recol-
lection failed her and Judge Twohy i'm
