members Of the Iowa delegation voted

on the fact that there were three in

Cousins to the Courier correspondent,

ANGRY CITIZENS ARE EXPELLED

GAS STEAL GOES THROUGH
TALK AMONG CITIZENS OF TAX.
ING THE MATTER TO
THE COURTS.

Philadelphia, May 20.-Amid scenes
of disorder unprecedented in the an
nails of PhllaGeiphias legislative body
the city council last night voted to
lease the city's gas works to the Uni
ted Improvement company for term
of seventy-five years for the total sum
of $25,0OO,000, the money to be paid
in various sums before the end of
1907. Council chambers and commit
tee rooms were crowded with excited
citizens, protesting against the lease
to the Gas Improvement company,
from 1 p. M, when the proceedings
opened in the finance committee room,
until s p. M, when the select council
passed the bill and sent it to the
mayor.
The climax was reached when the
vote in the common council was an
nounced after three hours of debate.
The moment President George Nc
Curdy of the common council an
nounced the vote
A Great Protest
was started in the gallery, which was

the gallery came Kisses and cries of
"thieves.''
The outburst was somewhat start
ling to the presiding officer, who made
vain effort to quiet it. Finally he
sent for a squad of police to clear the
gallery, which started the disorder
anew, The crowd continued to hiss
h. I,
other names until the police arrived
and started to clear the gallery. AS
the crowd moved out the angry citi-
zens derisively sang uncomplimentary
songs. In clearing the galleries there
were several passages between the
police and crowd.
Throughout the proceedings there
was much disorder. In the select
council there were SO many speakers
that no one
Dared to Interrupt
the proceedings. There was neither
a cheer nor a hiss when the bill
passed that body.
The opposition to the passage of the
bill resulted in the common council
amending the measure so as to pro-
vide for a slight reduction in the price
of gas.
Mayor Weaver has announced him.
self as uralterably opposed to the
lease and in favor of postponement
of action until 1907, when the first ten
years of the present thirty-year lease
of the United Gas Improvement COM
pany will expire. At that time the
city has the right to take back the
works on payment to the gas company
of the amount of money expended in
improvements.
Mayor Weaver is expected to veto
the bill. In that event both chambers
will probably pass it over his veto.
There is talk among citizens who
fought the lease to take the matter to
the courts.
