CONLFY QUITS THE
ASSESSOR'S0FFICE
Tenders His Resignation I'M
mediateiy After His Third
Reelection

Patrick Conley was yesterday re-
elected city and county assessor for a
term of two years, and Immediately
rendered his resignation to the cleo
tive board, recommending to the place
William c. Smith, at present his chief
deputy.
Mr.. Smiths name was placed IN
nomination by President H c. Haas
of the common council, against Louis
Johnson, County Auditor Z. w. Krah-
mer's nominee, and was elected by a
vote of 2 to 1. Mr.. Smith will take his
office Monday morning.
The resignation of Mr.. Conley and
the election of Mr.. Smith came as a
complete surprise to the-1county off,
Gals, who had fully expected that he
would continue in the Office for an
other term. The election of Mr.. Smith
to succeed him was adjudged a most
wise selection, however. for during his
fourteen years of service in the office
of the county assessor, during a year
and half of which time he occupied
the office to which he has just been
elected, he has shown himself an ex-
ceptionally capable man, and he is as
conversant with the workings Of the
OlhCe do 10 ally illeu III Tie COuilty.
Election in Mayors Office
The election took place in the Office
of Mayor Smith, and, as provided for
by the city charter, was participated
in by the mayor, County Auditor
Krahmer and President Haas of the
common council. An organization was
effected with Mayor Smith as chair
man and Auditor Krahmer as secre-
tary. Then the board got down to
business, and County Auditor Krahmer
offered his time honored objection to
the presence in the meeting of the
president of the common council.
He said that he did not believe that
Mr.. Haas has legal vote in the meet
ing and presented a resolution pro-
viding for an adjournment until the
opinion of the county attorney could
be secured on the matter. AS this
question has been threshed out in the
courts once and decided, the other two
members could not see the advisability
of delay, and the resolution was lost by
a vote of to 1.
President Haas placed the name Of
Patrick Conley in nomination for a
third term. County Auditor Krahmer
Immediately introduced the name of
Louis Johnson, residing at 695 Otsego
street, as his candidate for the Office
A vote was taken and it was found to
stand for Conley, / for Johnson.
Mayor Smith thereupon declared Mr.
Conley elected to succeed himself. Mr..

declined. In a short address he thank

FEARS CONVICTION
Mrs. Chadwick Has ''NO Chance
i'm This Court"

CLEVELAND, o., March 1O-Satur-
day will see the close OF the trial of
Mrs. Chadwick, and the case will prob
ably be given to the jury in the after
noon The entire day was given over
to arguments, half of the total number
having been disposed of. These. how
ever, were but the light artillery, and
the oratorical siege guns will open in
the morning. Assistant District Attor-
ney Thomas H. Garry spoke in the
morning, and Judge Wing for Mrs.
Chadwick took up all of the afternoon
with the exception of half an hour just
before adjournment. This time was
taken up by ]. P. Dawley, senior coun-
sci for the defense, who is to deliver
the main argument for Mrs. Charwick.
After him will come District Attorney
Sullivan, who will close for the gov
ernment.
1t was trying day for Mrs. Chad
wick and her pale face and nervous
manner showed that the strain of the
trial is telling on her. An attack made
by Mr.. Garry upon her financial meth
DDS disturbed her greatly. When he
showed the jury by her own checks
that without having any money in the
bank she had secured loans amounting
to $1S7 900, and $104 900 of it on one day.
when the total limit the bank could
loan to one person was $4,000, the pris-
ohef SANK pdch In nef cnalf as IL she
believed the statement must have great
effect on the jurors. She said:
Il have about given up all hope. I
have no chance in this court"
During the time her own attorneys
were making their arguments. she
frightened up considerably Her trou
bles will not be over, however, even if
acquitted in the present case. Dis
trict Attorney Sullivan said this after
noon that he would probably bring
about another trial on another indict-
ment, even following her acquittal in
the present case

We were betrayed by the corpora
ton attorney
In no uncertain words, but forcefully
and directly. Every member of the
Eighth Ward Improvement association
present at the meeting of the associa-
ton last night loudly applauded the
words of President +. NJ. Dolan as he
reviewed the provisions of the compro-
mise resolution with the city railway
company and excoriated the corpora
tion attorney for the part he took in
securing its passage.
Not a dissenting voice was heard
when a motion was made to adopt the
resolution deploring the unfortunate
position in which the city was placed
and deprecating the complete reversal
in the attitude of Mr.. Michael.
Applause for O'Brien
The mention Of the name of Assem-
blyman O'Brien was loudly applauded
and resolution was adopted strongly
commencing his action in voting
against the measure and for his hon
orable conduct in seeking to test the
legality of the agreement The straight
forward course of Assemblyman Keller
in acknowledging his error in voting
for the resolution and his desire to re-
woke the action of the council was also
commended.

night for the one purpose of discussing

were back in the positions which they
left Tuesday morning. There was no
general rush back of the old employees,
but the men slowly weakened and a
steady stream passed into the COM

Some three hundred men were REIN

more than one-half of l per cent of
the strikers would be reengaged. Mr..
Jencks said tonight:
1T makes no difference what the
national body officers think or what

Engineers takes. We are carrying on
the strike. which is entirely on local
matters, and we will fight to a finish"

tion- For many weeks this association
was one of the strongest factors in
urging Mr.. Michael to hold out for the
gross earnings tax and the entire rights
of the city as contemplated in the char
ter. NO compromise. Give the city
what is rightfully due, or appeal from
the decision of the federal court" was
the watchword of the association.
Absolute approval of the position
formerly taken by Mr.. Michael was ex-
pressed when the members of tho
common council were recommended to
follow the lead of the corporation at
torney.
Called Secret Meeting
But there is the rub" said Mr..
Dolan; I'VE We're behind Mr.. Michael
and were prepared to follow him to
to the principles which he openly ex-
pressed to us. But what did he do?
Secretly and in the night a meeting
of the council was called and a COM
promise agreement was presented for
its consideration, carrying with Ii the
entire approval of the corporation at
torney. The people were not made
aware of the existence of the agree
ment until Ii had passed. The ideas of
the corporation attorney so often ex-
pressed were not embodied in that res
olution. Yet Mr.. Michael stood out in
front of the council and pleaded for
the passage of a compromise which he
had publicly announced that he would
never favor.

was expected confidently Gen. Kuro-

vent the advance of the japanese be-

That the Russians have lost many

LONDON, March 1.-THE difficulty OF
predicting what line Emperor Nicholas
will take is admitted on all sides, but
there is still in some quarters an opinion
that peace will ensue. According to the
Graphic overtures have already practically
commenced, the emperor's readiness to
negotiate having been intimated to the
Frnch government and communications
having passel between the British and
French governments with a view to Great
Britain opening communications with
Japan.
1t is impossible to confirm or verify
the state ment of the Graphic, which de-
clares that the decision is due not only
TO the defeat of Kuropatkin, but also to
the almost insurmountable difficulties Rus
sia met in the last attempt to negotiate
