CROOKEDNESs CHARGED.
Aldermen IN a SquabbIc over BILLS for
Medicines,

A fitting title for the special meeting Of
the board of aldermen. held last night,
would be "A Royal Sauabble." From al
most the very opening of the meeting
until near the close it was sQuabblc and
during the time charges of crOokedncss
were thrown across the board and temper
was displayed to an unusual degree. in
fact the controversy became 50 heated at
one time that Mayor Burke begged Presi-
dent Taft to call the members to order.
The meeting was called last night for the
ostonsible purpose OF appointing COM
mittce to investigate the city's water sup
ply but that was merely minor detail,
he discussion resolving itself into con-
troyersy over the payment of bills pre-
scented by r. Henry Parker these bills
being returned to the board with the may
org veto A special committee was finally
lappointcd to go over the bills and their re-
port induced the mayor 10 withdraw his
veto and the bills will be paid.
All OF the members of the board were
present last night. The first business tn
| come before the hoard was a resolution
providing that "a special committee ne
appointed to investigate and report back
to the board as to tho hest and most fcas-
iblc way of improving the condition of the

campaign for the povernorship he laid
great stress upon the shooting incident.
Mr.. Wilson alleged that Mr.. Clement
called him d murderer in his public adj

FAMOUS SUIT SETTLED
P. w. Clement Pays Samuel D.
Wilson $1,000.
Case Had Once Becn Tried and Was 10
HIVE been Tried again In Nny-
Action Grew out Of GOvcrnOrship
Canvas by Mr. Clement.

The famous suit for $50 O0o damages
brought by Samuei -. Wilson vs.. =. W.
Clement. which has been once tried in
the United States Courts. a new trial
ordered and again taken to the circuit
court OF appeals. has at last been settled
by the payment Of $1,000 by Mr.. Clement.
The case was to have been tried again
in May. the united States Courts having
been adjourned until next month for that
purpose.
Ruflors OF a settlement were current
yesterday and Free Press reporter
sought an interview with NJ. L.. Powell
counsel for the plaintiff. Mr.. Powell was
reluctant to speak OF the case but when
made aware of the fact that It was be-
ing talked of and would he public anyway
he admitted that Il settlement had been
made and that he mad received tho money
from the attorneys representing Mr..
Clement.
Are you satisfied with the settlcment?'
asked the reporter.
1--WE have to be satisfied. This case was
brought by my friend Johnson of Boston
for $4,000 damages. A Boston reputation
comes higher than a Vermont reputatio
perhaps because it costs more to get one
there. but If this case had been brought
by "A Vermont lawyer the al damnum in
the writ would not have been over 5000
or $4,000 at the outside. The Vermont
courts have never awarded large dam
ages in SANDER and libel cases. Mr.. Gle
mcnt paid Governor Woodbury. in that
famous libel suit sl.0O0 and probably
| thinks he established a precedent in such
cases.
THE evidence in hand in this case was
such that there could be no question this
time as to the utterance and the only
question for the determination OF the
Jury would probably have been the Gues-
ton of damages. Considering the amount
that Is usually awarded in Islander cases
Brother Johnson and ! ought to feel
satisfied and do"
