CITY FATHERS COULD
NOT SEE 1T THAT WAY

In an impassioned and extremity
lengthy plea before the city council
lest night, Attorney Thomas tried to
make the city fathers believe that a
great wrong had been done his client,
Mr. Constantine, owner of the Chelan
Club saloon whom few weeks ago
was fined 5000 for violating the Sum-
day closing ordinace. At the time
Mr.. Consant inc paid one hundred
dollars of the fine and the remaining
one hundred is yet to be paid.
Although Mr.. Thomas told pitiful
story of the hardship and suffering
that would result in Mr.. Con stantine's
being forced to pay this 500 and
keep the volt from the door at the
same time, 80 pitiful that it almost,
but not quite, brought tears to the
eyes of his listeners. The council
turned deaf ear upon h i'm and refus-
ed absolutely 10 take any action in the
matter or to advise Judge Palmer to
reverse his decision, and the city will
eceive the fu II amount of the fine.

JAMES H. HYDE
Tells SOME MORE
INSURANCE SECRETS

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-James
Hazen Hyde, tfumer vice-president of
the Equitable Life Assuracne society,
whose resignation followed the senast
ional disclosures in that company last
spr ing which led to the investigation
of the insurance methods by the Arm
strong investigating committee of
the legislature. the man whose presence
as a witness before the committee has
been looked forward to in the expecta-
tion that it wo oulud produce the great
est sensations of the Investigation,
apear ed before the committee today.
Mr.. Hyde said that he first received
a salary of $500 seven years ago.
In 1902, when he became chairman
of the financial comm ittee, this was
advanced to $4,000, and in 1908 it
was advanced to $1,000, 900, at which
it remained until he resigned as vice
president of the society.
OF the $4,000, 900 Union Pacific
pool, Mr.. Hyde said that E. H. Harri-
man instigated at, and explained it
was to be holding syndicate fer five
years. 1t was understood this was the
purpose of controlling the Union
Pacific. Mr.. Hyde signed thee syndi-
cate agreement at Mr.. Hartman $ sug
gestion, and talked only with Hairi-
man on the subject. The execu tive
committee was not informed o this
operation, as Mr.. Hyde said that Mr..
Alexander did not think it necessary
and the committee be not informed of
it. He said that Mr.. Hartman even
refused to give statement of the pur-
pose of the pool to the superintendent
of insurance when he WAS clamoring
for it" last spring.

CARNEGIE ON
MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP

NEW YORK, Nov. l5.-Aldrew
Carnegie, upon 6isembarkng today from
the steamer Baltic on which he arrived
here last night talked on American
politics. He passed thesummer at his
castle in Scotland.
''I do not believe in the socialist
idea of municipal ownership, but mum
icipal ownership is certainty as
sure as l am alive. Scotland and
England are ahead of US in Ownership
of public property. All Great Britain's s
water, trans and sewage works are
under public ownership. The line
seems clear to me. 1.-The increase in
value made by an increasing populat
ion should belong TO the city. No
city should give away franchise that
belongs to the people, but whether
the city should offer lit as lease for
time is another affair. The leases
given should be for as short time as
possible. The shorter the better.
The ownership should always remain
with. the city. The people seemingly
want municipal ownership and they
should get it,

COUNCIL DROPS CITY
LIGHT PROPOSITION

No action was taken last night
by the city council on the electric
light proposition which was schedul,
ed to come up fo- decision. The offer
of Mr.. Gum to sell the plant to the
city expires On December / and by
taking no action Oh the matter before
that time the council can, without
committing themselves, and without
placing the electric company's plant
in bad light, turn the proposition
down. 1t is generally believed that
DIR. Gum will now withdraw his of sr.
The committee on the new city
hall, which was to have reported last
night, did not have report prepared

pursue its labors.
Upon the report of Engineer Prov

cen completed. The sum named is
eighty per cent of the contract price Of

Bids for the city printing were
opened. Two bids, one from the
Wenatchee Advance and the other
from the Repu blic Press, were opened.
The Advances bid was twenty cents
for the first publication and fifteen
cents all inch for su bseuent insertions.
