DEADLOCK

In Reference to Crisp

81 do Not Consider Mr..
Paige a Democrat"
Is the Objection Made by
Mayor Young.
Judge Anderson Says There'|l be no
Change For a Year.

OWQUAV tfut u
At their conference Saturday after
noon Mayor Young and Judge Ander-
son had no difficulty In arriving at an
agreement relative to the re-appoint-
ing Of City Commissioners McGarry
and McMilien.
Contrary to the impression that
prevailed concerning the re-appoint-
ments just made" said Mayor Young
today, "there never was a deadlock.
The only deadlock is that relating to
appointments of successors to Messrs.
Paige and Crisp, This deadlock con-
tinues."
Judge Anderson. II seems. would lik
to break the only aud original dead
lock, but, under prevailing circum-
stances, cannot, II is stated upon good
s Z
authority that he doesn't like the po-
sition into which the deadlock has
placed him. He gave Mayor Young to
understand Saturday that things
have now gone too far for him to
make any change in his position to-
ward Mr.. Paige. Just In what manner
things have gone too far" between
Judge Anderson and Mr.. Paige to
make possible a change, is a matter
of much speculation.
Judge Anderson also suggested that.
as good political move. Mayor Young
should re-appoint Mr. Paige, but the
Mayor is inclined to make appoint
mcnts in accordance with his own
views.
MAYOR YOUNG Talks.
In commenting upon the matter to-
day, Mayor Young said to Democrat
reporter: "The law states that two
members OF the Board of City Com
missiouers shall be appointed from the
political party which polled the high
est number of votes at the last munich
pal election, and two from the political
party which polled the next highest
number of votes at said election.
~ take it that the law means that
but two members of the Board shall be
chosen from one political party, not
three, as at present.

A Graphic Description of Pel<in's Streets
and Buildings.

The city OF Pekin is by no means
the least remarkable of the sights of
China 1t IS in every respect a con-
trast to the other capitals of the
world Feekfn comprises in reality
three distinct townships The first,
known as the Chinese city. lies to the
south. while adjoining 1t is the larger
Tartar city. which encloses the small
er Imperial. or Purple Forbidden
city, containing the palaces and
royal demesne- Though only ele-
waited to the position of Celestial CAPT
tai in 1921. Pekin possesses a history
which dates from over thousand
years back. and its antiquity is evil
dent from its faded grandeur and de-
creased population
1t is impossible in the space allotted
here to enter into all the details of
the history of Pekin. and so impsr-
feet are its records that such
count would be impossible, with any
degree of exactness- When and by
whom the city founded is a myS-
terry. Pel1in is a very ancient city
! Centuries before the Christian era it
was the capital of the kingdom of Yen
but when this kingdom was over
thrown by the Tsin dynasty in 222
b c., the seat of government was re-
moved elsewhere About 93S A. D. it
again became the capital of the Kitan
dynasty In 1915 it was captured by
Genghis Khan and in 1864 became the
residence OF Kublai Khan The native
emperOrs, however. who succeeded the
MongOl dynasty, removed the court to
Nankin, but the third emperor of the
Ming dynasty in 1921 once more made
Pekin the imperial residence. The
city was repeatedly pillaged; it's popu-
1ation slaughtered, its defenSes RACED,
and its sacred temples defled. OF all
the cities of China none appear to have
been the scene of so many successes
and misfortunes.
The Tartar city is planned on
more imposing scale than the Chinese,
but its many fine buildings and gorge
Gus temples have mostly fallen into
state of ruin. Among the most
noteworthy buildings in this enclos-
is the Tsung1i Yamen, or foreign
office, established after the ratification
of the treaty of Tien-Tsin in 1861-a
pie rather than a government Office in

of the Tartar city are the foreign lega-

BAD INTENT DESTROYED.

expert Shooting by a Cowboy Changes a
Charge
Jack Vance. cowboy from the
ranch of the Butte Creek Cattle com
pany, was on trial at Alliance, Neb.,
on a charge of shooting at a brakeman
on the Burlington railway with intent
to kill him He had received his pay
a few days before and was engaged at
the time of shooting in the picturesque
pastiEne of painting the country red
Vance vehemently denied any intent
to perforate the brakeman. He told
the court that while 1T was true that
he did take out his revolver and shoot
after the brakeman had pushed him of
the train, he was merely giving pre-
arranged signal. He and a friend had
been down the road a few miles and
wanted to ride back to the nearest sta
ton to the ranch Realizing that if
they were found by any of the train
crew they would be put of, they had
arranged that if anyone was put OF
the train he should notify his partner
by firing his revolver at once The
trainman with visions of what he
firmly believed was q narrow escape
from death, shook his head, and the
judge looked unbelieving- Vance's
cowboy friend eorroborated the story
but seeing that his tale failed to re-
ceve credence, the defendant asked

sunshine In Europe.

In Europe there is great deal more
cloudy weather in the north than in
the south, and so the duration of suns
shine increases rapidly from north to
south 1t is smallest in northwest
Europe. and greatest in Spain Scot
land has. on an average, only 3.3 hours
of sunshine daily the year round Ire
land has about 81 hours, England near
" four, Germany 4-5 to five. France
five to six, Austria five to seven, and
Spain seven to eight hours daily Thus
Madrid has 1880 hours OF sunshine
every year. Vienna 1.s1O hours. Ham.
burg 1,240 hours, and London 900
hours. There is good deal mors
cloud and rain in west than in east
England because the mountains in the
west condense the clouds and cause
heavy rains. 50 it happens that the
grass lands of the country, which re-
quires a great deal of rain, are found
chiefly in the west while the grain
and fruit regions are in the SUMMER
and drier parts of the country east of
the mountains. for they mature best
in relatively dry and clear climate
