The council committee on fire met last
night for the purpose of considering the
proposed purchase OF new ladder truck.
Mr. johnson. representing the Seagraves
Company, OF Columbus. Ohio. with whom
the city some time ago placed am order
for an aerial truck. was present with the
committee.
1t was his proposition. previously made,
10 furnish a new truck and equipment
complete for $500 and the present hook
and ladder truck. that the committee was
called to consider. The idea of securing
a new truck was suggested to the COM
mittee that visited the Seagraves factory,
and were so faverahly impressed with the
construction of the steel truck on account
OF its apparent strength and lightness.
The present hook and ladder truck weighs
over COCO pounds, and the proposed Sea-
graves truck will weigh just about one
third as much.
The committee went down to the hook
and ladder house with Mr.. johnson, where
the various articles in the equipment were
checked off. and Specifications will be pre-
pared upon which the company will be
asked to enter into a contract with the
Seagraves company.
The new aerial truck for this city Is
being built In the factory at Columbus.
The company has four months in which
TO complete the truck.

.LEMlY CONCLUDES
JUDGE ADVOCATE READS ARGU-
MENT FROM MANUSCRIPT.
REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE
Counsel Divides His Address Between
Consideration of Points Made by
schley Attorneys and Govern
ment's View Of Evidence.
(By Associated Pre.ss,)

(By Associated PresS.)
Washington, Nov. Judge Advocate
Lemly today made the concluding argu-
ment in the Schley court Of inquiry.
There was no forenoon session of the
court, and the Judge advocate did not
have an opportunity to begin his address
until o'clock. He read from manuscript,
but spoke in clear and distinct tones.
The first half of the address was de-
voted to consideration of points made by
Mr.. Rayner and Captain Parker in Ad-
miral Schley's behalf, and the latter half
was general review from the govern
ment point of view of the evidence.
Referring to the testimony of Admiral
Schley and Captain Chadwick concern
ing the formers conversation with Ad-
miral Sampson at Key West, Captain
Lemly said:
II ask the court to apply to the appli-
cant as a witness the well-known rule
referred to with so much fervor by SEN
Tor counsel, that when two witnesses tes-
tify with regard to the same matter and
one OF them remembers and the other
merely does not remember the circum-
stances of the matter, or, let us say, the
conversation, the evidence of him who
remembers must be accepted. II this
be done, then there is little left of the
evidence given before this court by the
applicant, particularly upon his cross
examination"
At 3:42 p. m. Captain Lemly concluded
his speech before the Schley court OF in
curry, A number of charts were intro
duced as evidence and the public ses-
sions Of the court came to an end.

CONFERENCE IS HELD.
Street Railway Manager and City Of
| ficials Talk Over Council Order.

Manager ]. r. Wharton this morning
held conference with Mayor Davey
and Street Commissioner Mclaughlin
with reference to the council order to
the company, causing the latter to stand
the expense of planking between the car
tracks on East Park street.
No agreement in accord with the
council order was reached. The street
car company set up that under verbal
agreements the Stag filing had been put
in and would be continued. -r.
Mr.. Wharton pointed out that if the
company should put in planking the
drivers of ore wagons would use the
car tracks exclusively and that it would
mean a great detriment to the car serv-
ice between Butte and Meaderville.
At present 10 minute service is given,
est the street car manager insisted that
if the ore wagons held to the tracks
that it would delay the cars and mean
II or 15-minute service from Meader-
vile.
The conference will not end the mat
ter. in all likelihood, as the street COM
missioner will probably be ordered to go
ahead and put in the planking for the
company, and the city attorney will then
be instructed to take the matter into
the courts to try to collect the costs.
