FIRE TRAP ON
THE NORTH SIDE

Residents in North Monroe street

Grafton by the city authorities who
have the power to enforce the ordi-
nance relating to the protection of
lives and property from fire.
AT 0616 Monroe street, China
man, Chew Chang, is doing a laundry

COUNCIL turn
BOYD DOWN

The councilmen did box Mayor
meeting yesterday afternoon. After
the boxing process the councilmen
voted to abandon the Seattle trip and
annul the mayors appointments Of
delegates to the meeting. Then the
mayor grew real angry and declared
he would go himself at his own ex-
pense.
There's nothing to this opposition
to The trip except Gray and Snyder.
said the mayor this morning. The
council is broad enough to realize
that city as big as ours ought to be
represented. l won't say what l will
do today. If go and some others go.
I suppose we will have to go tonight
or tomorrow morning. l guess the
Great Northern makes the best time
to Seattle. doesn't it? l guess maybe
I'll go on that road. No, don't know
who will go with me-
The mayor didn't stop kicking this
morning over the action of the coun-
ell IN turning him down hard He
went over to the courthouse the first
thing to see Councilman Snyder and
ask that city dad to withdraw his op-
position or act as a member of the
finance committee.
The councilman still had cold feet,
however, as well as large thoughts
about big job behind the proposition
and again turned the mayors photo
to the wall.
The councilman insisted that IL
anyone should go il should not be the
eouncilmen. but the men who knew
what is needed. He suggested the
corporation counsel, the city engineer
and like men who would know OF
something besides politics needed by
the city. Therefor. as the mayor had
selected councilmen and Floyd Dag
gett, city comptroller, the two
couldn't get together
All the mayors efforts to get the
finance committee together failed, as
only Snyder and Baines of that COM
mittee are in the city.
But the mayor may get a pass and

DO NOT
WANT WILLIS

Residents Of Union Park are cir
culating a petition to be presented to
the board Of police commissioners
asking for the removal of Policeman
J. w. Willis from that portion Of the
city. The petition declares the be-
lief Of the signers that officer Willis
has proved himself an unsafe man to
carry revolver or exercise author
ity.
The first Of the month officer Will
lis, in the change made in the beats
Of patrolmen, was sent to Union
Park in the afternoons and evenings.
The residents of that district believe
the shooting Of the dope fiend, Fred
Brown, to have been unwarranted and
because Of this belief object to having
willis in their neighborhood. express
ing fear Of him.
The petition has already been sign
ed by a number and will be presented
to the board. probably with a request
to suspend the officer for at least six
months.

the fires are increased that North
Monroe street may have a disas-
trouse conflagration.
Back of the old building is stable
where delivery wagons are kept, to-
gether with the forage for the horse
used by the Cinnamon. This stable
is close to the front building and il
also menace to adjacent buildings.
Policemen walk by idly swinging
their clubs, but they do not see that
the ordinance of the city is being vio-
lated.
The proprietor of the North Side
harness shop said:
''The condition of affairs should be
looked into. / have $500 worth of
stock that is endangered thereby. I
will join any movement that is start
ed to abolish the condition, and give
it my hearty support
At the Monroe Printing company it
each business house in this vicinity
that the city fire department look
into the matter"
c. Peshack, proprietor of the tin
ners establishment near by, said:
Il am willing to sign petition for
the abolition of such q. state of at
fairs, should one be cifcLaIed. We
leave our places of business at night
and we wish to have the assurance
when we return in the morning that
they are not destroyed by fire because
of the carelessness of some land
lord who will permit such a danger
Gus condition to exist for the sake
of the Chinamen's dollars"
Mr.. Hoover, who runs a carpenter
shop next door, said: II have feared
fire would start in this building for
long time. / have no insurance
as the insurance companies charge
such a high rate because of the con-
dition of affairs that I can not afford
to protect myself thus. You may say
/ heartily endorse the remedying of
the present danger"
A fire starting in this region would
never be noticed because of the
boarded condition of the windows un-
til it had gained such headway that
the whole North Side business blocks
would probably be wiped out.

NEW YORK. Dec. 10.-Mrs. Chad
wick still languished in the Tombs
this morning, but before the day is
over her lawyer, Phillip Carpenter. is
expected to deposit $4,000 bail,
which will give the woman her free
dom.
After breakfast this morning she
read In the morning papers the ac-
count of the discovery that the
3b.000,000 worth Of securities held by
Banker Reynolds were worthless. 1t
was the first she knew that this fact
had been made public. After reading
the papers she paced her cell.
Mrs. Chadwick has quite regained
her remarkable nerve. DR.. Levin, the
city physician. declared this morning
the woman was perfectly sound ply
sically. To q guard before the cell
this morning she said: well, this
Is the last day of this torture, thank
heaven"
1t is practically certain that Mrs.
Chadwick will not go to Cleveland
II she secures bail. She is under
orders from Commissioner Shields to
appear before him one week from to-
day.
1t is learned today that two law
yers, one from Chicago and one from
Philadelphia, had an interview with
the prisoner last night. In case she
Ia released on bail secret service men
will keep close watch on her move
ments.
At II o'clock Carpenter had not
obtained bail and seemed to have lost
confidence that the cash would be
forthcoming.
