or the election of Charles S. Dyball to

OF Mr. Giler to tell what he knew. He
said Mr.. Clabaugh had pleaded with him to

ment that II was all directed to the allie

Councilmen Back, Huntington, Evans and
Schroeder had pleaded with him TO vote fol

from breaking a quorum.
Witness said the committee report on the
SIS ordinance was neither adopted or re
jected, that Councilman Huntington put
the motion on adoption after the city at
torney had advised against any action.
that no one voted i'm the negative, but that
the city clerk directed by Mr.. Council, or
urged by him, had declared five votes in
the Affirmative; the ordinance is passed and
it's title agreed to-
1.-THE ordinance was then rushed over to
the mayor" said witness, "and he at once
signed. and returned it to the clerk with
the contract and bond, similarly signed"
He said no member of the council had en-
opportunity to read the ordinance, and
that the president of the council, Mr.. Zim-
man, had not signed it.
Boye on the stand.
Councilman Fred II. Hoye followed
O'Brien. Questions brought out the fol-
lowing testimony:
81 had three conversations with Mr..
Clabaugh of the gas company. On each
occasion the word was brought to me by
Councilmen Huntington and Dyball that
Mr.. Clabaugh desired to see me, to talk
over the proposed gas contract. On the
: first occasion ! told him ] was against
{ the SIS ordinance. but would support the
! S25 contract, providing for sixty candle
power lights. Mr. Clabaush told me the
! company could not afford 10 supply lights
! at that figure, because it had to pay a
royalty of $3.50 or IS to the Welsbach COM
| pany.
AT the time OF the second conversation
! l was candidate for the nomination for
sheriff. Mr.. Clabaugh told me if would
! support the ordinance 1 would have the
/ companys support in a political way 10
! secure the nomination and election, and
that the company would contribute to my
| campaign l cannot say just what was
meant by contribute. / was also told by
| Mr.. Clabaugh that Tony Donohoe was put

Did Not, Chanse Mind.
AT the third conversation" said Mr.
Hoye. Mr.. Glabaugh asked me II had
changed my mind about the gas contract
| told him l had not in the least. He
then said the company was going to make
a cut to private consumers and would let
the councilmen take the credit. He said
this would help me in my campaign. !
told him / would vote for the SIS contract
II the cuts were incorporated in the ordi-
nance in business way, so that the COM
pany would be bound Mr.. Clabaugh would
not agree to that, but l afterward had an
ordinance drawn with that provision in Il.
1t was read and referred, but never passed.
II had several talks with Councilmen
Huntington and Dyball on the SOS PROPOSE
ton, which they urged me to support.
They and the company would then help
my canddacy-they said they would do
what they could for me anyway. ! told
them ! would not support the ordinance

our natural laziness when we take the
trouble to make toilet at the close OF
the day. Many a man and woman
slouches straight into old age merely

to dress becomingly. It is always
worth while to look ones best.
