Finally things cooled down and the
investigation proceeded, Chairman
Rrandenstein cautioning Braunhart 70
Confine himself to the gathering of evil
dence and not to indulge in argument.
The irrepressible commissioner would
be aroused occasionally, but Brandon
stein soothed him and petted him and
managed to control him with a fair
degree of success.
The matter under discussion was the
bill of Gray Brothers, who exact twelve
dollars a day rental for each OF their
street sweeping machines. Hire of
a team is no more than So, explained
Braunhart, land this left 81 day the
charge for rental of machine That
new only costs $3.50. In other words the
city is paying $3.50 year for the hire
OF a machine that costs about fourth
of that amount.
In criticizing the Public Works Board
for this contract Braunhart arrayed
the other complaints he had to make
against the department, and this was
what caused Schmitz to run amuck.
Harry N Gray explained that 1T

BRANDENSTEIN IN DANGER.
The Supervisors had another storm.
They had summoned F. NJ. Yorke be-
fore them to explain his claim for
Sb264 20 for pavement repair work dur
ing August, the bill not being itemlzed.
Brandenstein began TO go after the
witness somewhat energetically as TO
who were the officers and stockholders
of the corporation known as r. M.
Yorke & Co. Yorke SHE'D, was
utterly unable to recall who were in
terested in the company with him, ana
finally became very angry. He declared
that he had never been abused be-
fore in his life as by Brandensteln,
whose snarl alone would drive man
crazy" wish l had you aboard ship,
added the irate contractor. Yorke SAID
ii he was to be put on the rack ne
would give up all his petty contracts
with the city He was finally placated
and next Thursday afternoon the rec
ords are to be produced for the lnspec-
tion of the committeeman so they can
learn what that $500 was expended for.
Brandenstein afterward explained
that he had received an anonymous
communication arousing suspicion as

SCHMITz FUMES
And THREATENS
President of Works Board
Makes Violent Attack OIL
Supervisor S. Braunhart
'IIAR AND SLANDERER"
Sensational TRADE of Abuse
Nearly Disrupts Meeting
of the Street Committee

The hand of Supervisor Brandenstein
held the gavel but his arm was limp
and he could no more stay the torrent
of abuse that President Herbert
Schmitz of the Public Works Board
heaped on the members of the Street
and Finance committees, who were in
joint session yesterday, than terri
fled weakling car cope with a wild
man.
Supervisor Braunhart was particular
ly the object of the enraged commits
sioner's fiery outbursts.
You are a liar, you are simply try
ing to do dirty McNao politics., was
the declaration with which Schmitz
broke loose.
Braunhart had charged that the
Board of Public Works was ignoring
the charter flagrantly, both as regards
the civil service requirements as to
street employees and the provision that
the board must make requisition on the
Supervisors for every expenditure of
funds.
The Supervisor remained silent I'M
der the attack and this only lrritated
the commissioner the more. Schmitz
advanced from his chair to the side
of the standing Supervisor and there
delivered himself of his wrath.
LYING, SLANDEROUS TONGUE.
Your slanderous tongue is being
wagged on every OCCASION" was the
picturesque beginning after a new take
in of breath, and you have got to stop
it now. You are lying and lying about
us, just to do cheap politics for Nc
Nab A man like. that on this COM
mittee! Why, he ought to be wearing
a pair of horns. l will buy him pair
and sent them to him as gift next
Christmas"
The excited president of the Public
Works Board continued on a TRADE of
this character for several minutes,
shaking his arm in a threatening man
ner over the head of the unperturbed
Supervisor. Brandenstein was in the
chair, but impotent. Pleadingly he
sought the commissioner to desist his
rawlings. Connor merely said iShut up,
you fellows" D'Ancona turned around
on his heel several times and Payot
was mute. There was not a hand
raised to protect Braunhart, who APP
peared very much in danger of per-
scnal assault.
In the language of the street Schmitz
lad the Supervisors "buffaloed, with
the exception of Braunhart, who blurt-
ed out at one of the lulls, Il am only
telling what is the fact"
This provoked again the high-keyed
outburst from Schmitz, You are a
liar" The commissioner kept going
again for several minutes and the Su-
pervisors were once more treated to
f1aying of their fellow member, while
he stood stolidly through the ordeal.
RESENTS WITH A SHEER.

KEANE CHOICE
OF REPUBLICANS
At a ne50 Price-15c

The Republican delegates from the
Forty-second and Thirtieth Assembly
districts met last night in joint session
in Saratoga Hall to select a Senatorial
candidate from the Twenty-third Dis
trict and nominate Assemblymen. The
meeting was harmonious from its open
ing until adjournment. There was but
one candidate proposed for Senator
George B. Keane, secretary to Mayor
SchmitZ. The secretary of the conven-
ton cast the ballot which makes
Keane the nominee of the party.
AS delegate to the convention, z. G.
Knapp called it to order. Knapp was
elected temporary chairman and H. Z.
Pratt temporary secretary. These
officers were afterward made perma-
nent.
When the call was made for nom
nations F. z. Wallace mentioned the
name of George B. Keane for State
Senator and the nomination was sec
onded by j. d. Hanna There being no
further nominations, the secretary cast
the ballot and Keane was declared the
party's choice.
He was escorted to the platform by
F. E. Wallace and E. n. Ayres and
spoke in part as follows:
Your unanimity in selecting me as the
httest man to represent you in the coming
session of the Legislature is an honor more
highly appreciated by me than l can express.
1 have always been true to the principles of
the Republican party and 1 hope that as
Republican i will represent you at the next
meeting of the Legislature. You may rest
assured that l will do my best.
This does not feel like a political conven-
ton. II seems more like a happy gathering
of neghbors and friends who hope to bring
about success for all. 1 enjoy extensive
acquaintance in both the districts represented
mere and feel that 1 in touch with all of
you. If elected one of my chief ambitions will
be to retain the good will and good fellowship
of my friends.
The following committee on purity of
elections was appointed by the chair
man of the convention: S. B. Priest.
Fred F. Wallace, H. d. Byrne, Alfred

MITCHELL is IDENTIFIED.

Hearney and Phipps made practically
the same statements as Flynn. The de-
sCription by the three men tallies in
every respect. Phipps said that he saw
Mitchell in the passageway three min
utes before the hold-up occurred, and
positively Identifies him as the man who
turned the bold trick Hearney and
Flynn are also positive in their iden-
tity of Mitchell, and they all knew him
we'll.
Mitchell was arrested while being
shaved in the barber shop. The two de-
tectives then searched his room at 1881
Octavia street, and there they found a
piece of rope, which TALES with the one
tied on the door, a wet hat and coat
identified by the three men who were
locked in the closet, and a 3S-caliber
Smith & Wesson revolver. together
with two rounds of ammunition.
A search of Mitchell's clothing re-
vealed $500 in gold and bank notes. One
of these notes, 500 in amount, was
positively identified by Flynn as be-
longing to the exchange. 1t was issued
by the National Bank 70 Joplin, Mo-.
and only the previous day Flynn had
remarked how strange it was that they
should come into possession of a large
note of such an unimportant bank.
When "sweated" by Detective Ed
wren and captain or detectives Mar
tin, Mitchell maintained his bravado
and laughed at the idea of his being
connected with the hold-up. When
asked how it was that he had come into
possession of such a large amount of
money he replied, "Oh, that's nothing

Mitchell has been hanger-on of the
exchange for many. months and has
been regarded as a nuisance by the en-
ployes. One of them said last night
that Mitchell tried to pass a bogus
check on Broker William McCracken
some time since, and also tried the
same game at the exchange. He is
alleged to have raised a stock certifi-
cate, but the paper was too crude to
pass the scrutiny of the cashier. He
had been ordered out of the office many
times, but always showed UP again.
