The legal department last evening con-
Veyed to theIaassembly an ordinance
drawn at the instance of City Engineer

on the deposit of a bond of 5000, suf-
f1clent fee to cover inspection of the dis
turbed street. and maps with full details
and data of the work contemplated.
The ordinance which is largely due to
the agitation started by the board of
police commissioners some weeks ago,
was first made public In the b e,
and since its adoption it has been greatly
strengthened by the addition of amend
ments and safeguards. by which the for
mer lax methodsFwill be fully abrogated.
By the provisions of the ordinance, all
contractors holding license must have
it at all times available for inspection.
and police officers will be expected to de-
mand its disclosure if in doubt as TO the
authority OF the parties concerned.

ASSEMBLY GRANTS PERMISSION
ASKED BY DEERING AND Moor
MICK COMPANIES
SOME LOOK BELOW SURFACE
AssembIyman Craig Assures His As
sociates That 1t Is Not an AdrOit
Scheme of Street Rail-
way Company.

The assembly last evening gave permits
sion to the Deering and Mccormick Har-
vester companies to plant poles and
stretch lines of wire connecting with their
respective warehouses for the purposes of
supplying power and heat Two voices
were heard in vigorous protest, those of
Assembiymen Benson and Wheeler, but
they We're unable to even secure a post
ponenent for the purposes of inyestiga-
ton
The resolutions according the privilege
to the two companies came up on a mo-
ton 10 send them to the committee on
streets, Assemblyman Benson demanding
it on statement that there was some
talk to the effect that the requests We're
an adroit evasion of the 5 per cent gross
earnings tax. While nicely concealed, he
said, power and light from the plant of
the city railway company would be trans
Initted over these same wires and as
the street railway company had no such
franchise it would bear an investigation
Mr. Craig here came to the rescue and
Informed the council that it was the har-
ycstcr companies, not the street railway
company that asked for the permit, and
he hoped there would be no delay in
granting it,
1.-THE street car company doesn't care a
cent whether you grant this permit or
not" said Mr.. Craig. ''The people in my
Waru are ANXIOUS TO see the request
granted, because it is absolutely neces-
sary.'
But. Mr.. Craig" remarked Mr.. Ben.
son, you seem to be acquainted with
such matters Isn't it fact that this
light and power will be supplied by the
street railway company"
The question rather nettled Mr.. Craig,
but he assured Mr.. Benson that from
conversation he had with the street car
officials, the situation was not bothering
them.
Assemblyman Wheeler also asked for
postponement until an investigation had
been made, remarking that even Il the
permit was desired by the two companies,
yet there should be no violation of the
city charter. '"rhe first thing we know"
said Mr. Wheeler, similar resolutions
will be received from all over the city"
In answer to d request from Assembly
man Benson, Assistant Corporation At
torney Stobbart said that the resolution
only granted permission to the two har-
vesting companies to plant poles and
string wires. No authority was given to
the street car company to transmit cleo
trical energy along them.
Though Assemblymen Benson and
Wheeler protested vigorously, 1t was
finally passed, but not without an amend
ment giving the council authority to or
der the removal of the poles in case it
deemed such action necessary.

BOTH MEN CAUGHT
PRIVATEs ROOFS AND ASHTON
ARE CAPTURED IN
MONTANA
ESCAPED FROM FORT SMELLING
This Completes the Capture of the
Three Prisoners Who Got
Away About TWO
Weeks Ago.

Word was received at the headquarters
of the department of Dakota yesterday
afternoon from Fort Keogh, Mont, to
the effect that Private Ashton, Company
l., Eighth infantry, and Private Rocks,
of the First cavalry, two of the prison
ers who escaped from Fort Smelling
about two weeks ago, had been captured
at that place and We're in the guard
house at Fort Keogh.
Orders were Immediately sent to have
the prisoners brought to Fort Smelling,
under guard
The escape will DE remembered as being
one of the most clever, as well as dar-
ing, ever perpetrated at Fort Smelling.
Private Ottilie, who also escaped with
the men, was recaptured at Minneapolis
the following Sunday, and is now in the
prison at the fort. Rocks has about
three years yet to serve, while Ashton
only had about two months left of his
sentence when he escaped. They will
probably be tried and given an additional
year for the offense.
The men are supposed to have gotten
away by using a duplicate key, as they
made their escape from the prison while
it was yet light and several guards were
on duty
Rocks is also the man who took a fall
out of Charles Kartak when he tried
to stop him as he was attempting to
escape.

BICYCLE LAW is VALID
JUDGE ORR MAKES TEST DECISION
I'm BRADBURY CASE.

Judge Orr, in the police court yesterday,
filed his decision in the case against F.
j. Bradbury, charged with violating the
bicycle law by riding en- the cycle paths
without a tag. in which he held that the
law was valid and constitutional.
Mr.. Bradbury was discharged, as it was
shown that he made application for a
tag before the time of his arrest, but
had been unable to get it, as the county
treasurer had run short of tags and was
waiting for another consignment.
John E. Stryker, attorney for Mr. Brad
bury, contended that the law was un-
constitutional in that it was double taxa
ton, as Mr.. Bradbury paid a personal
tax on his wheel. 81
w, B. Sullivan and Charles Cullen, ar
rested for similar offense, and whose
cases have been. continued pending de-
cision in the above case, were accordingly
notified to appear in court on Sept. to
