TALK WIRES
City Council Considers Pri-
 Yate Telegraph Line

The private telegraph system about which the fire department complained two weeks ago occupied considerable of the attention of the city council last night. The matter came up with the presentation of an application by those who have used the wire for franchise to continue it iu future, agreeing that the system should conform in every way to the ordinances of the city and be subject to the city's inspection. The application was signed by W. B. Samp- son, A. E. Kindell, r. H. Muir, C.. Christianson, J. J. Patterson, George W, Woodruff and R. Barry. IJ was re- ferred to the council committee on judiciary, which will report asuitable resolution, granting the request, which will come up at the next council meet ing.
 Several speeches were made be e'ore the council by those interested in the system, who maintained that it IS not dangerous in any way. IC was shown that the wires are under the electric light wires and thus cannot fall upon them or come in contect with them un- less the latter should fall;tthat against such a contingency they are safeguard ed by fuses and other protective aPpl- auCes;that telegraph wires are harmless unless iu contact with electrict light or other live wires.
 C.L. De Serisy, who made the com plaint to the fire department, said the fuses are not adequate.
 A.E. Kindell replisd by saying that the wires have come in contact with the electric light wires and the fuses stood the test.
 Dr. Reed also applied for franchise to operate a private telegraph line be- tween his residence and his office It was referred to the same committee

post a $4,000 side bet, Jimmy Britt preferred.
This announcement came in the shape Of a

Is representing Nelson's interests in Cleveland.
Nolan phoned Nelson Will fight any light
