have been indorsed except for that. Little
was said about il openly. but the anti
Jerome men among themselves said that
even II jerome were indorsed by the Re

Republican organization men would make
his election impossible. This argument
had more or less weight.

WHICH BANK SHALL
Be ACTIVE ONE?
This Question Is Puzzling
the Members of CRY
Council
PRESIDENT REBUEfS THE BODY

The matter of fixing upon an active
bank for the money OF the city, caused
quite a discussion at last nights meeting
of City Council The argument started
when Homer Simmons and John j. Nc
Govern. the majority members Of the
finance committee presented report Of
an ordinance providing that the First
National and Union National Banks be
the active institutions for the clty's
finances. The measure also provides that
the accounts in each bank must be kept
as nearly equal as possible, and az no
time shall the balance in either be 5000 in
excess Of the other
} Chairman White, Of the finance commit
tee made the statement that he could not
lconscientiously sign the report OF the
majority of the members Of the commit
tee as he did not favor the proposed or
dinance in its present form. He added
that at the next meeting OF Council he
would offer the proper amendments.
PRESENTS COUNTER PROPOSITION.
/ As a counter proposition to the Sim
-AIcGovern ordinance, Howard ID.
Ross Of the First ward. presented
copy of an ordinance, which provides for
the rotation Of the active account Of the
CITY, among the five local national banks,
beginning with the First National and
then changing each year in the following
order. Delaware, Wilmington and Brandy
wine. Union, First National and Central.
Mr.. Kane wanted to know whether
tb. e,opo, oon,t,fftoo had NOT haau
instructed to prepare an ordinance. fix
ing the active bank. He made a motion
to defer action on this second proposition
for one week. which was carried, but
only after considerable discussion and
numerous dilatory motions and ameud-
ments TO them. Such was the condition
of affairs. that President Leitch finally
informed the members that If they had
no business to transact they might as
well adjourn. He told them they must get
down to business and stop making dila-
tory motions to the confusion Of ths
chair.
Messrs. Lynch, White and Ross favored
referring both proposed ordinances e
Council as a committee Of the whole and
there thresh it out.
Mr.. McMullin said ne did not iaNor MT
| Ross ordinance because he Thought fu
ture city legislative bodies should hav
the privilege Of selecting their own activ
banks.
MR.. LYNcHs UNDERSTANDINGS.
Mr.. Lynch said that it was his under
standing in the committee Of the whole
when the matter was discussed that tn
members had practically agreed on III
rotation system. and asked Mr.. McGoveri
if he did not understand it that way
Both the latter and Mr.. Simmons deniel
that any vote had been taken in the com
mittee meeting and while the rotation
system was spoken Of. no definite actiol
in this respect was taken. They contend
ed that the finance committee was IN
: structed TO draw up an ordinance and
did so. Mr.. Simmons then called for tn
reading Of this ordinance and after bein
, read. it was referred to Council as
committee of the whole.

LARRY EYRE is BEATEN
Anti Machine Republicans in Chester
County, Pa, Will Win.
Special to The Evening Journal


West Chester, Pa, October 13-All
eyes in Chester county to-day are
focused upon the Court House in West
Chester, where the great battle is being
fought between 7. Larry Eyre and his
comrades on the one hand, and the pro-
gresive anti-Machine Republicans on
the other. to determine which faction is
entitled to the use of the Republican
column on the ballot next month. The
decisions OF the judges may not be
handed down until late tomorrow
afternoon or on Monday.
But the indications are that Eyre is
whipped to a standstill. and that the
new Republicans arc the visitors. Even
should the latter lose in court. which.
judging from facts and conditions. is
hardly likely, the force of public opin-
ion will sweep them to victory on elec-
