Mr.. HILL said his course in ad~journ;ng
the branch was not pre-arranged. He
had not made up his mind what he
would do. When he declared the MO
ton carried he started out, following
Clerk OBrien. Mr.. Schafer advised
him to go back to the chair, and he
said he would not do so.
What caused the people to say You
can't do business that way?'"
Il don't know, unless it was be-
cause l put the motion. l heard no

Mr.. Hill said he signed the minutes
of the meeting prepared by Clerk
O'Brien. He admitted that the min
utes had not then been approved by
Council.
Didn't a majority disapprove the
minutes?"
Il didn't consider it legal"
Mr.. Hill did not like to reply to the
question. He wanted ito qualify his
answer. He was handed the minutes
of the meeting. Mr.. Russell said:
These minutes contain a page and
a half of matter relating to things
which took place before you came to
the meeting, don't they?"
Mr.. Hill replied in the affirmative.
He said he couldn't always be present.
That was what the minutes we're kept
for, as he understood it.
Were these minutes ever approved! ?"
Mr.. Hill could not say they were.
Col. Caldwell made several offers to
prove alleged facts by the witness, to
which objection by defense was SIS
tanned.
RObert Haxlett.
Mr.. Robert Hazlett, member of the
Second Branch, was next called. He
attended the meeting on the morning
OF February 9th. 1t was called to or

journ, and Mr.. Brown seconded the
motion. The motion was put the usual
way, was declared carried, and the
Branch adjourned. No appeal was
taken. He heard no demand for a d.
vision. There was considerable con-
fusion, particularly on the Democratic
side. There was objection to what was

being done. In the form of You can't
do that" etc. Witness heard SOME
negative votes on the motion to adj
journ. but there were no more aiirma-
tive votes. An officer was obstructing
the passage, and preventing members
from leaving. Witness climbed over
the railing and got into the FIRST
Branch chamber.
MI. Hazlett said he walked half way
up the aisle and addressed the Mayo:l
and notified him that the Second
Branch had adjourned. He understood
that to be the custom.
Were you sent over to give notice?'
We'll, I went over"
Several other unimportant questions
were asked, and Mr.. Russell took the
witness. Mr.. Hazlett admitted that he
had not been sent as a messenger to
the Fret Branch. He Immediately
made a motion to adjourn. He had no
talk with Mr.. Hill after leaving Mr..
Hamilton's Office. Mr.. Hazlett said
the Democrats were apparently all on
their feet Directing to what was being
done.
Mr.. Hazlett explained that there had
been a Encouragement that nothing
was to be done by the Republican mem
bers. When they were assembled, Mr..
Hazlett conceived the idea that by
making a motion to adjourn, he might
''catch the other side unawares." that
was his sole object in making the no
ton.
And it was carried through in that
way?"
Yes, but with any prearranged CO.
operation on the part of Mr.. HILL"
Mr.. Hazlett said that If the other side
knew the game they were playing they
would not want to adjourn" They at
tempted to show their disinclination to
adjourn. They were too slow. Most Of
the objection came after the adjourn
ment was announced. 1t was carried
through too quickly for them.
To Col. Caldwell, Mr.. Hazlett SAID
the protests did not appear to be ac-
dressed to the chair.
w. G. Brown
Mr.. w. C. Brown, another Second
Branch Republican, was called. He
said he was summoned to appear at
1870 O'Clock, and appeared at that hour.
There was nobody there, and he took
a sneak to Fort Hamilton" He spent
the night in Fort Hamilton, and was
taken to the Second Branch chamber
the next morning. He seconded the
motion to adjourn, and it was put in
the usual way. Then the other side
woke UP, and kicked on the adjourn
meut. Mr.. Brown detailed what hap
pened subsequently up to five O'Clock:
when the matter was adjourned until
Monday morning.

Judge HerVey mas Tuiou III lawn "
the defense in all the matters alleged
by the old Board Of Public Works IN
support of their petition for a writ OF
mandamus, with the exception Of the
question as to whether or not the Sec
ond Branch was legally adjourned be-
for Council went into joint session Feb
ruary 9th and filled the city Offices. II
is a very material point, upon which
the entire case of the Republicans
hangs, and it is upon this point that
Judge Hervey is now hearing evidence.
When the matter was brought up yes
terday morning the fact was disclosed
that there had been an agreement
among counsel to dispense with the
jury, and present the evidence before
Judge Hervey alone.
-Four witnesses were examined, and if
no more satisfactory progress is made
it will be several days before all the
evidence is in.
Ex-President Hill admitted that he
saw and heard the Democrats protest
ing against his action in adjourning the
Second Branch; admitted that he sign
ed the minutes which had been
approved, and admitted that he did not
send a messenger to the First Branch.
Mr.. Hazlett testified that the adjourn
ment was not in accordance with a pre-
arranged programme, but that it was a
scheme of his own; that he saw an OPP
portunity to catch the Democrats off
their guard and conceived the idea of
forcing an adjournment against the
wishes of the majority.
City Clerk Testiies.
The first witness called was City
Clerk Thomas O'Brien, Jr., whose ex-
animation consumed the entire morn
ing session of court. Ale said he at
tended the meeting of February 18th,
and remained until two o'clock next
morning, when he went home, returning
at eight O'Clock with the deputy SER
geant. He gave the names of Council
men who were present. The defense
objected to the offer by the REALTORS to
prove that Councilmen We're brought in
under arrest, holding thai it was not
material, and the objections were sus-
tanned by the court.
Mr.. O'Brien said the meeting was
called to order by Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Haz-
lett made, and Mr.. Brown seconded a
motion to adjourn, which was put by
Mr.. Hill. There was a chorus of ayes,
and EXPLANATIONS of wait there 'hold
on" ETC., from the other side. The
body was declared adjourned. Witness
took the records and went down to his
office, but was brought back by an
officer.

How many voted no?"
Mr.. OBrien did not hear any. There
was no call for a division, or for the
ayes and noes, and no appeal from the
chair.

journment announced before the mega
tive vote was put?"
NO"
After adjournment what notice was
given OF the meeting that was held on

DROP IN KANSAS CITY RATES.
for Export Carried at About
Half the Usual Tariff

It is reported from Kansas city that
freight rates in all the territory between
Kansas city and the Atlantic scaboard
have literally gone to pieces. Few rail-
road freight men, it is asserted. ever saw
rates become so completely demoraliZcd
IN so short a time. In this respec I the
situation has changed radically within a
few weeks inasmuch as the railroads
were maintaining the regular tariff quite
firmly until the recent sudden drop.
Shipments of provisions from Kansas
City for export, were made last week at
20 ard PAY cents off the i3ia cent tariff
This is within about cent Of the low st
rate quoted last year. All agreements
between the railroads to maintain rates
appear to be ineffective. Some of the
traffic managers say that hen the west
ern presidents get together in New York
next September effective measures will be
found to put tho freight rates back to
their normal condition and keep them
there.

The Term "Copper."

While many police officials believe that
the term copper as applied TO police
men had its origin in the use OF the cop
per badges that were formerly worn, an
authority states that the word may be
traced back TO the Normans in the
twelfth century and that it is corrup-
ton Of 'catch," The Normans not on
applied 1t TO the catchers Of criminals,
but to the implements used in catching
or holding them. There were hand
cops" or handouts, In the twelfth centu-
ry. and the Anglo-Saxons used foot cops
In the "Yocabulum, or the Rogues' Lexi-
con- written by George W. Mateel in
1850, copied Is thus defined:
COPIED Arrested. The knuck was
copper to rights. a skin full OF honey was
found In his kicks poke by the copper
when he plucked him. The pickpocket
was arrested and when searched by the
officer a purse full OF money was found in
his pants pocket"
