Committeeman Irvine got un n +.r
the cOuncilmen from the Fif-b -7-
cinct what he thought of their Pa- r-5-
Hcanism, but the chairman heads ~
the roast by saying TO him IN
your temper, Mr.. Irvine. and 7 viii ~
tend to these two over here"
A happy thought struck Hewlett Il.
began TO look as if a fist fight V-,.,I ~

Mr.. Wey.

well 20 home.
Your question is only an abstrac-
proposition, Mr.. Wey," suggested the
chairman in the interest Of prospective

Why Spence and Robinson Are Sore.
Sharp broke in with the information
that COuncilmen Spence and Robinson
might come over from the insurgant
! side, but they are sore at the MAYER
| because he did not take them into his
| confidence like others of the Repub-
llcan cOuncilmen-
Robertson proposed that the four OBJ
| stinates meet with the six c0uncflmen
on the mayors side and receive in
structiOns from them. He added that
he had not asked the mayor whom he
| intended to appoint in Chief Hlton.s
place. He said he did not care 10 know
/ The councilman added that he would
vote against the appointment If It did
not suit him, but under the circum-
/ stances he would stand for a yellow
dog
There's nothing binding here To-
night" suggested Chairman Eichn0r.
If 1 thought so l would not be here"
was RObertsOn's reply.
Daveler came forward again by say
ing the council had spat on the mayor
by refusing to concur in his removal OF
Chief Hilton after he had promised to
resign.
Hilton viii resign under certain con-
ditiOns, volunteered Hewlett.
I'd hate to accept his word for i-
after breaking faith as he did"
Yes, I should say SC" was Thomas
emotional remark.
Turning his attention to the meme
bers of the committee. DaveIer de-
manded to know why. inasmuch as the
mayors six cOuncilmanic supporters
had not been proven in the wrong, they
had been summoned before the com
mittee ahead of the obstinate four WIS
are against the mayor.
Who Bottled the Caucus?
You wepe wrong when you bolted
the caucussTn president of the coun-
Gil" charged Committeeman Callister.
Then followed a scene which looked
as if fight with fists would be next %
the programme.
1T was not a caucus answered
/ Daveler.
1T was, and you, too, Robertson,
| bOlted, and you caUcUsed with ths
/ Democrats in the last council de-
clared CalIister, as he rose In his seat
( to defend himself
when you say l Caucused with me
! Democrats you don't tel the truth
/ shouted Robertson, in Threatening
tones.
Chairman Eichnor saved a point by
/ asking il any one knew Of Mayor
Thompson taking any hand in the con
/ test over the election Of President COZ
treU he should speak up then OF ever
after keep his silence.
BY common consent it was agreed
that the issues Of the misty past Tol--
not be referred TO again This was
largely upon the advice OF judge

to be solved could not be appr9acn7'
in harmony.
