nlchG inferred ina circumstances
against the t.Clementinc" grant should
be read, was being lost IN the shuttle,
therefore ne ordered the clerk 10 read
the remonstranees. This ruling quieted
the storm.
The rernonstrances contained aflda-
Wits setting forth the character OF the
.clementine," and alleging that the FREE
duenters were prostitutes and tough
male citizens. Strong testimony was
adduced TO show that rooms were let
out TO men and women unfortunately,
Some OF the women named were Ida
Potts, Mrs. Wenscl, "Irene,' and Alley
c habitueE.
MORE TROUBLE.
After the reading Mr. Ali was called
on to rule on several questions. He. de.
cided that tho original ,inotion was 10
reject tho license, offered by Mr.. Mil
Ter. To that was tackled Mr.. Kindleber-
gers amendment calling for the hear
ing Of both sides: followed by Mr..
Hoes amendment stipulating that
grant" should be inserted In place OF
reject" IN Mr.. Miller's motion. a fu.
silade OF questions bearing OF the COM
pleteness OF the commlttce's report was
fired a.. tho chair. which attempted 10
unravcl the tangle.
Mr.. Watson grew tired. We've
heard one side" said he. Lets hear
from the other"
"One minute" said the chair, bring
Ing the gavel down with n bang.
But We want to straighten you out"
cried Nj. Watson.
And | want TO straighten you fel.
lows out answered Air. Ali.
This dldn't settle the I%ulbbling.
Members. were puzzled as TO what they
should vote on, and claimed that Mr..
Hoes amendment gave the original
motion a black eye. Mr.. Miller, the
mover, especially protested.
Mr.. Chew stated that the members
had no right to discuss the chair y rul-
inEs.
You're perfectly right, Mr.. Chew
replied Mr.. Ali, shut I want to give
the members an airing.
Again chaos followed. Several MEM
bers were on their feet at n time, and
Mr.. All was very generous.
Mr.. Hoe, who caused all the trouble,
stated that he offered his amendment
because he intended to vote for the
"Clementlne" license. The saloon was
no worse than several. Tho amendment
was then put and carried by the fol-
lowing vote:
Ayes BUGGY, Connolly Gartley,
Marschner. Hoe. Knoke. McFadden.
Mehan, Travis, Watson, Chew; total. T..
Noes-Ahl. Beckett, Berry, Bron-
strop, Fair, Kindlcberser, Kasley. Mey-
er. Miller, Paul; total, 10.
Mr.. Ali then called for a vote on the
kindlebergcr amendment. which want
cd both sides to be heard. The chair
got the laugh, as the vote on Mr.. Hoes
amendment practically settled the mat
ter. Mr.. Ahl's rulings caused consider
ale mcrriment.
Next Mr.. All called for the vote on
Mr.. Miller's resolution. He stated It as
granting the license. The vote resulted
In favor Of the notion but afterwards
Mr.. Chew and others claimed that the
motion had been incorrectly stated by
the chair. The license, however. was
granted bra vote OF 10 to s.. the changes
from the vote noted above being two.
Mr.. Kasley voted In favor Of the IL
cense. and Mr.. Miller left the council
chamber, evidently in disgust. before
the vote was called.
The first branch voted against the
'~"Clcmentine"' license by seven members
against the license to two for. This, of
course, was non-concurrence with the
second branch. and when reported to
the latter body. the second branch. by
a vote OF II TO ), refused to concur with
the first, and appointed a committee
on conference. The conference COM
mIttee appointed from both branches
consisted Of:
First branch = Mcclure, Baird.
Zwicker.
Second branch-Paul, K%indlebcrser.
Connolly.
After a recess of about ten minutes
the conference committee reported bv
q vote of4 to . In favo: OF the action OF
the first branch, rejecting the "Clemen-
tine" license. The second branch then
proceeded again o @worry Chairman
Ali, who ruled that the conference
committees report was adopted. Shall
the chair be sustained?" asked Clerk
Watkins.
Seven men stood up In the afiirma-
tive. But eleven arose for the negative.
So the chair was sustained not.
Then came a motion TO adjourn. and
1t failed by a vote OF "seven-come-
eleven"
More wranSlins was cut short by
Clerk o'Brien stridinS III and exclaim-
Ing: THE first branch has adjourned"
Then I declare this branch ad.
journed." raped out Mr.. Ali.
1t was argued afterwards that a con-
ference COMMITTEES report is Ecner-
alFl accepted, but the second branch
was rather peculiar last nlaht.
