were coming down the stairs. Jones was
expressing himself very freely and.

various partisans Of the respective
sides.
During the melee T. c. Brantlev be
came very outspOken in his criticism

Councilman Powers stepped up and
planted his fist in BrantIey's face.
Later in the evening Jones and Alb

by Street Superintendent Sanders and
another friend. Jones opened the con-
