Circulation The
CITY COUNCIL IN LENGTHY SESSION
There Was Much of Interest, and Something DOING
All the Tme-AIderman Ozment Scores
the Electric Light Company

The city council had long drawn
out and at times a rather dramatic ses-
sion last evening, which lasted into
the hours of midnight. During the
session several things got a good shak-
ing up.
Perhaps the climax was reached
when Alderman Cement, chairman OF
the street committee, objected to the
payment of the electric light bill for
street lights for the past month. He
said the city under contract was pay
ing the light company s1.37 a month
for each street light; that the contract
called for lights of 16 candle power.
He said he had examined these lights,
and found them all less than 10 candle
power and that the voltage being en-
ployed further reduced this light to 4
and 1-2 candle power. He called at
tention to the uniformly red glow Of
these lights, and produced globe,
and attached it to a socket in the coun-
Gil chamber to emphasize his meaning.
The demonstration was not favorable
one for the light plant. Mr.. Cement
also produced goose neck rod aud
light socket which he said had just re-
Gently been placed on street by the
company, and for which, under the
contract, the city was paying $3.50
each. The gentleman referred to the
city's contract again, where specifica-
lions were given for this street light,
calling for a certain standard, with re-
Hector, etc. Cement declared they
were furnishing the city an article that
cost less than so cents, and were col
lecting 81 so for it. He declared it an
Infamous swindle, and declared the
city should bring suit for all over
charges collected in the past. The
city's bill for lights for the month is
s194.90, and Ozment declared the city
had been rendered less than $50 worth
of service.
The which ensued de-,
developed the fact that the city's
lights were being furnished under a
contract entered into in 1901, and it
was Alderman Grants opinion that
this contract not having been renewed
or ratified in years succeeding this
date, the city had no contract for
lights. A resolution was finally passed
by referring to the water and light
committee to take up the question |
with the light company, and ascertain |
why the bill should not be reduced to |
comply with the service rendered.
Alderman Gone brought up the Bor-
deaux matter again. He said the mat
ter should be settled; was opposed to
man on salary when he
was not performing the duties of the
office; thought Marshal Bordeaux
should at least be compelled to hire a
substitute to perform his duties for
him.
Alderman Ozment said Bordeaux
vas not able to perform the duties of
he office and thought like Alderman
Jone that the city should at least re-

quire Bordeaux to hire man to per-
form the duties of the office. Alder
man Hunter objected. He said Bor-
deaux was elected by the people, and
the council could not interfere. After
a short, impassioned speech, he moved
that the council raise Bordeaux's SAL
airy. No second.
Gone offered a resolution asking
Bordeaux to appear at the next meet.
ing to show cause why he should not
bd knoved from Office. After heated
debate the vote on this resolution was
called, and stood: Ayes, Cement,
Temple, Gone, Caldwell; Nays, Hun
ter, Grant, Marley.
The report OF the water and light
committee relative to placing fire
plugs at the corner of North Sycamore
street and Palestine avenue, and North
Sycamore and Kolstad streets aroused
another tempest. A letter was read
from the manager of the water works
company, stating the company would
install these hydrants il the city would
pay for the mains and the laying
thereof. The city's contract with the
company was referred to, and Manley
declared that under its contract with
the city the water company could be
forced to supply this service, and
should be forced to do SO. Motion was
made by Ozment to refer the matter
to the city attorney for an opinion.
The attorney said it was his opinion
the city had a perfect right to order
this work done by the water company,
at its own expense. Caldwell offered
a motion that company be compelled
to install these fire plugs. Grant said
II water company undertakes to take
advantage of every technically to
avoid complying with the contract he
favored the city's taking over the
and operating it. Caldwell's
motion, on vote prevailed. Some of

showing they had some "rabbit" in
them, but warmed up to the matter
under excitement Of the discussion.
Timidity in the council was again
demonstrated when the matter of
opening up Cook street was tax
en- up. The mayor said the lob
would cost the city approximately |
$500. Temple said it was true the |
work would cost some money, but it |
had been ordered open by the council;
low the question was, would the city

Hunter moved to table the matter in
definitely. This was met by protests.
)one said he thought it was up to the
'ity to carry out its order, and open
he street Admitted he had never
cen the place, and was perhaps not
apable of judging whac was best to
10. Then Hunter made motion to
escind former order to open, and on
'ote the motion prevailed.

A CRIMSON DINNER
Arizona Harvard Clubs to Celebrate
Big Annual Football Game.

1t has been some time since the
Harvard club of Phoenix was first or
ganized. but owing to difficulties en-
countered in locating many of the
alumni in the territory the associa-
ton has been less active than 1t
ought. Recently a more complete cam
vas of the territory has been made,
large membership has been enrolled,
and the movement has taken definite
shape in the form of dinner to be
held at an early date. The date set
is that of an annual event dear to
the memory of all the sons of Har-
ward when, year after year, the Grim
son faces the Blue on the gridiron.
This year the big game is slated for
Nov. 25th, and on this date many
members, old, new and prospective,
will assemble at a feast at the Hotel
Adams. There will also be present as
guests of the club, some prominent
residents and officials of the territory,
and an enjoyable evening is promised.
The secretary of the combined clubs
has the matter in charge and wishes
all graduates, undergraduates, and
others eligible to membership to send
in their addresses, so that the attend
ance may be the largest possible. Mr..
Guy l.. Jones of Mesa is the secretary,
of both the Mesa club and the Fedora
ton of Arizona clubs, to whom the ad-
dresses should be sent as soon as pos
sible, so that the details may be ar
ranged.

RELIABLE

proceedings before Judge Campbell
The transcript was received yesterday
at the office of the clerk of the court.
The appellant had been cited for con-
tempt on complaint of Albert Stein
field of Tucson for the publication of
articles by the appellant in the Ari-
IONA Star relating to two suits in
which he was interested. One of them
was the Harcourt case. Harcourt,
who had swindled Mr. Steinfeld out
of $12,5 500 by means of bogus jewelry,
having been brought back from Cali
fornia was given a preliminary exam
ination and released on his recogni-
zance to appear before the next grand
jury The Star printed an editorial
in which it was limited that Harcourt
had been released at the instance OF
Mr.. Steinfeld in consideration of evil
dence which he had given duplicating
E. C. Bartlett in the fraud, the object
being to procure the indictment of
Bartlett against whom Mr.. Steinfeld
had begun civil proceedings to recov-
er the amount out of which he had
been swindled.
There were in fact several articles
on the Harcourt case and there was
tween Selim Franklin and Steinfeld
over the sale of the Silver Bell prop
erty in which though no names were
mentioned, Mr.. Steinfeld construed
that he had been accused of perjury.
This article appeared while the case
was on trial.
In relation to the Harcourt articles
it was charged by the complainant
= ~
instance of Bartlett for a financial
consideration.
In his answer Governor Hughes set
up that it was within the province of
a newspaper to see that no wrong was
done by the court and he averred that
the old doctrine that the king and the
kings court could do no wrong was
rather antiquated. He denied that it
was the purpose of the articles to in
fluence the grand jury against the in
dictment of Bartlett or the trial jury
in the Franklin Steinfeld case.
Regarding the allegation that the
Star had received any money from
Bartlett for the publication of the ar
ticles complained of there was a
square denial. The governor said
though that there was another article
not mentioned III TIE complaint LOT
which he had received $25 from S. E.
Hazard, the attorney for Bartlett, the
object of the article being to contro-
vert an article which had appeared in
the Tucson Citizen, calculated to
spread a false impression of Bartlett
abroad in the community. For this
Hazard article the governor said reg
ular advertising rates had been
charged.
On the trial of the case the governor
was adjudged guilty of contempt and
was sentenced to pay 4 fine of 5000.
a motion for a new trial having been
denied, an appeal was taken.
Among those who will be present in
court today will be former Judge
Tucker of the new district who will
apply for admission to the bar. Il
may be surprising TO laymen to learn
that it is not necessary that members
of the supreme court should be MEM
bers of the bar, just as formerly in
this territory it was not necessary that
district attorneys should ever have
seen a law book.
