The following is from the Cleveland
Press. Harry Bay, the hero, was
once member of the Rock Island
professional baseball here. and is now
with the Cleveland Americans:
Every day this season she was in
her place at league park-a pretty
little woman with dark hair. She
raPtuOusly applauded every play made
by Harry Bay, the fleet Cleveland out
fielder, and groaned when he famed

seized with the desire to become an
actress. Her husband gave his con

COUNCIL is ANGRY

Just TO the liking of the Rock Island
city council, and the latter body at its
meeting last night voted to sever all
relations with the corporation, refus-
ing to longer use its instruments and
ordering removal of poles planted
without permission of the council on
Fourteenth and Fourteenth-and-a- half
streets between Ninth ana Eleventh
avenues within AS hours.
\ year ago the council revoked the
franchise of the Central Union in an
effort to force it to make terms sim
liar to those of the Union Electric
company, which pays into the city
treasury annually , per cent of its
gross earnings. Aid. Wilson, who
started the fight on the Central Union
last evening. thought it inconsistent,
to say the least, on the part of the
council to patroniZe an institution
whose legal right to do business it did
not recognize. The company had been
ignoring the council absolutely in all
matters in which heretofore the sane
ton of that body was sought. Now

pIeases. Aid. Wilson thought it was
up to the council to call halt if it
wished to maintain its self-respect
before the community.
Council Should Assert Authority.
These facts riled Aid. Westbay. as
the Central Union company going to
run this town, or are the mayor and
aldermen?'' he asked. He wanted to
see the council put its foot on the
neck of the Central Union and holding
it there until the company came to
its senses.
Aids. Kennedy and Robbins felt that
some of their brother councilmen
were getting warm under the collar.
They should be calm and move slow
in matters affecting the whole com
munity. The council was not the
whole works The convenience of the
public had to be taken into considera-
ton also. They did not see where the
city was going to profit by discontinue
ing the Central Union service when it
was paying for but one instrument,
having the free use of the others.
There was way of forcing the com
panN to adhere to regulations in re-
gard to placing poles and wires with
out cutting off business relations with
it, ts
AID. Kennedy offered Il substitute to
refer to the street and alley commit
tee. but it was lost 10 and 3-Alds.

was then adopted by the same vote.

AID. Eckhart to place the meters at

escaped stage fright About this
time Harry became interested financi-
ally in down east" play called
Uncle Josh Spruceby." and rather
thought he would like to see Mrs. Bay
in the part of Nancy Spruceby. Mrs.
Bays parents were not taken into
their confidence and they are still ig-
norant of their daughters ambition.
Two weeks ago the manager of the
play saw Mrs. Bay in the part and he
made contract with her for the sea
son.
Mrs. Bay is a very pretty young wo-
man. slight Of stature. She is OF
French descent, with the typical dark
hair and black eyes. For a stage
name she viii adopt Leila Ballinger.

All this time Fielder Harry will not
allow his wife to be the only bread
winner. Harry has written song.
Il Love You" and he is an expert cor
netist. He will play in the orchestra
of the company in which his wife Will
play the lending part, and in town
where parades are the usual thing he
will play the trombone on the street
He also has a part in the PLAY during
the corn husking bee scene. He is one
of Il little band of country fddlers and
one of the characters picks out Bay
and asks him would he oblige with a
solo. Bay VIII say: I'll ies' go We,

secretary, filed an acceptance of the

tiations, and that the company has
no intention of abiding by the terms.
He talked of leaving Kewanee out of

Cambridge. Galva and then south to

WILL SPEND The WINTER
hr. and Hrs. c. W. Norton OF Iowa Ar.
rived Here Yesterday.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Norton arrived
here on yesterday mornings S. F. p.
& z. train from their home in Wilton
Junction, Iowa, and expect to remain
during the winter. They have spent
the winter here twice before, once
seven years ago and the last time,
three years. ago. To say that they are
pleased with Phoenix is merely formal
for if they were not they would not
be here. Though they have no idea of
permanently leaving their northern
home. they enjoy the contrast between
season among the snowbanks and
Billiards and the balmy weather of the
orange country.
Another thing that attracts them to
Phoenix particularly is that they are
the parents of DR.. J. c. Norton. terri
torial veterinarian, and they like to
come and see him once in while, for
the sake of old times, for though not
a large family it is more or less scat
tered. Mr.. Norton came here directly
from Chicago where the big interna-
dional fat stock show recently closed
and while he was greatly interested in
the exhibit his principal business there
was to visit another son who had just
returned from a trip to Europe. He
graduated last year at the state agri-
cultural college at Ames, Iowa, ard
during the past summer went to Eng
land in the employ of a stockman who
was on a blooded-stock buying ex-
petition.
The fat stock show, says Mr.. Norton
was the finest exhibition of the kind
ever held in Chicago or probably any
where in the world. He took great
interest in it for he is himself one OF
the oldest breeders of thoroughbred
shorthOrns in Iowa, having been en-
gagged in that business for the last
thirty five years, though his farm is
now being managed by one of his sons.
Mr.. Norton has always been greatly
interested in educational matters and
