NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Gerald r.
Brown was recalled to the stand in the
insurance investigation this morning
He produced list of tenants of the
Equitable building in this city. He
said the Equitable Trust company pays
$4,000 a wear rent He said that $780,
900 would be an adequate rental. Brown
said that after the committee has

doubtedly be done to secure an aue-
ouate sum. He said that probably all
the other tenants paid fair rentals
Hughes questioned Brown concerning
the other real estate matter OF the

the fact that $52,O0O,OOO fire insurance
is carried and is handled by the Con-
tinental Fire Insurance company, at
the direction of James ii. Hyoe, WIZ

OFFER OF COMPROMISE WAS REJECTED
Chief of Police Brown Given Explicit Orders by City
Council Last Night-WaS Instructed to Arrest
Alleged offenders Unless Their Licenses
We're Surrendered to Him

An attempt to compromise the fight
between the city council and the five
salOonkeepers whose licenses were re-
voked Tuesday night, signally failed
at the special meeting held last night,
when the council placed on file a COM
municatiOn from the Walla Walla
Liquor Dealers Protective association
and a petition from J. E. Kees, John
Bachtold, Louis Grossmiller & Co., H.
Van Buren, and S. V. DAWN that the
council rescind it's action and allow
them to continue in the sale Of liquor,
and directed Chief of Police Brown to
arrest the five proprietors unless they
handed over to the chief their Ii
censes by o'clock this morning.
Promptly at 9 o'clock this morning
the five saloonkeepers walked into the
office of Chief Brown and voluntarily
surrendered their licenses.
Just what will be the next move is
problematical. None of the saloon
keepers will talk about the matter and
it is supposed that the entire project
is now a closed incident.
