A MONKEY
AND PARROT
TINE IN THE CITY COUNCIL. A HOT
TINE ON A HOT DAY. WARM
ARGUMENT
SERIOUS CHARGES WERE MADE
BY Chairman Of the Police Committee
Started Something

The session Of the city council
was momentous one. Usually
nothing is duller than council
meeting, but this one was an ex-
ception There was excitement to
bnrn and at times it seemed likely
to become warlike. Vitriolic ora
tory, charges and counter charges
augmented the already high tenn
perature Of the couucil chamber.
Mayor Woodside. Judge Grigsby
and Alderman Louthan were the
principal actors in the serio-comic
tragedy, if such il may be called.
The fun started when Mr.. Louthan
made his reports as chairman of
the police committee. His first
report charged that Judge Grigsby
had been careless in keeping. his
docket. Louthan's report was
dated Aug. IS and on that date he
had not found a single case entered
on the docket for August. He
claimed that il was impossible to
check UP the docket with the re-
ports. Judge Grigsby was present
and took the floor to make a state
ment in his own behalf. He adj
mitled that he didn't keep a
pretty" docket, but promised
that he would be more careful in
the future. AS the Judge warmed
up to his subject, he grew impas-
stoned and landed OH Mr.. Louthan
in very strong terms. He seemed
to think that Louthan was making
a personal attack on him. Mr..
Loulhan replied that he had no
personal fight to make on the
Judge but he insisted that the
records should be inteiligently
kept.
The second explosion came when
Mr. Louthau made his report Oh
the chief Of police, charging that

He will be succeeded by ]. J.
Reeme and M. +. Humphrey. The
former will have charge Of the mill
ing and flour department and the
latter will manage the elevator and
grain business. The business of
the company has become 50 large
that it has been found best to di-
vide the management.
Mr.. Reeme has recently been
manager Of the Caldwell Milling
Co. at Caldwell, Kan, and is a
capable business man of many
years experience. Mr.. Humphrey
who is to have charge Of the grain
business is a son Of f., d. Hum

He is a bright energetic young
business man of marked ability.
He is a graduate of Kansas Uni
versity and has spent oreTia year
in the offices Of the company,
thoroughly acquainting himself
with all details Of the business
His position is a very large and re-
sponsible one for a young man but
there is no doubt Of his ability to
take care of it.
Mr.. Miller came here last De
cember and has given entire salts

p patrons of the rnIIl, All vt
whom regret to lose him. He has
made host of friends here who
trust that he may soon recover his
health. Mr.. Miller will devote
several months to recuperating be-
fore engaging in any other bust
ness. He will be here till about

ing Of the Industrial Association
last night:
The Chickasha Industrial Asso-
ciatiod met at the Fourth ward
school building in response to the
call, and a permanent organization
was perfected. The following Of
ficers were elected: B. F. Abncr,
Pres; t. c. Clark, Vice Pres; DR..
J. w. Gray. Rec Sec; w. F..
Fields, Treas. All of whom with
the exception Of the President, to
constitute Board of Directors and
an addition Of the following names
M. T. Jackson, R. D. Fletcher, J.
X. Polk. It was conceded by all
present that the meeting was very
encouraging. Immediate steps
will be taken to incorporate with
paid up capital stock of hand
some sum. The superintendent of
public instruction of the city
schools, was present and addressed
the association with inspiring
words. Never since the Emanci-
patton Proclamation has the Afro
Americans been brought into such
need Of industrial training as at
the present time. And girls Of the
race must be trained to work.
Rome taught her youth 70 the
Forum and Senate. Gyeece was
the place to establish education as
a science and it was Of two kinds
mental and physical. Our system
of education arose with Plato. But
the most necessary training in the
present day is agricultural and
cooking. Too many Of us have
left the farms and taken up our
abode in the 2ities with little or no
capital TO engage in public enter
prises and at length We find our
selves in debt and cannot meet
our business obligations, Too
much attention connot be given to
farm work. We have better re-
sources along these lines than any
people in any other section Of the
country. So let us strike while
the iron is hot, hit the nail anc
send it home to clinch. B F

DEATHS ARE
DECREASING
BUT THE RECORD or NEW CASES
is DAILY GROWING. PEOPLE
ARE HOPEFUL
THE INFECTION IS SPREADING
Into Outside Parishes. Physicians able
to cope with Diseaee

New Orleans, Aug. l7-While
the daily record ofnew cases shows
a tendency to rise slowly, the
deaths are still few, which slim
ulates the hope for better things
before long.
The most important news out
side the city came from Louisiana
La Fourche parish where the par
ish health officer reports wide
spread infection in the Leeville
settlement at the mouth Of BAYOU
La Fourche. He says there are
probably a hundred cases Of sick
ness there. He diagnosed six as
yellow fever and classes the others
as either a mild type Of yellow
fever or dengue. This point is
I8o miles south Of the Southern
Pacific railroad. The inhabitants
of the settlement are mostly hsh-
erman aud oystermen aud they
have been in close communication
with New Orleans. A case was
found in Raj Arcadia parish just
across the street from the dead
case found there yesterday. There
are four new cases at mississippi
city, making thirteen now under
treatment.
The discoevry of this nest of i'll
fection an the Mississippi coast o
such long standing has caused
good deal of perturbation in Missis
sippi and there is now a fear tina
cases may appear where least ex
pected.

the chief had permitted bawdy
honses to exist and had done moth
ing to break them up except to
collect fine once a month. In
support of his charge he referred to
the cases that were aired in the
police investigation few days ago
as reported in the EXPRESS. He
opposed the system of sending for
the guilty parties, allowing them
to plead guilty and then continue
their business. Judge Grigsbv ex-
planned the method of accepting
pleas of guilty in misdemeanor
cases. Mr.. Louthan made another
speech-he thought the Judge was
treating the matter with too much
levity and this aroused the Judges
ire. He retorted with a fierce
personal denunciation of Louthan,
denying that he had used any levity
and charging that Louthan was
making a personal fight. The
alderman responded warmly de-
claring again that he had no per-
sonal war against the Judge but
would appose TO the uttermost the
nefarious practice referred to in
his report.
Hopkins made brief statement
in which he explained his position
in the cases referred TO, claiming
that he had doue his duty and had
given no protection TO the charac-
ters in question, but had told them
that they were liable to arrest at
any time. Finally the mayor took
hand in the discussion which
was growing warmer all the time.
He said he had grievances and he
then proceeded 10 charge that he
had been ignored and snubhed by
aldermen. His feelings had been
deeply hurt He particularly
charged Louthan with usurping
authority and then proceeded to
declare emphatically that as mayor
he intended 10 run things IN the
future, He would tolerate no in
subordination in the police depart
ment or among any other officers.
He accused Officer Goodwin of
having been insubordinate in i'm
forming the. chief that he would
take a woman, whom he had ar
rested, 10 the federal offices, if she
wasn't fined in the police court.
Louthan fastened to explain that
he had no desire to take any author
ity from the mayor and reiterated
that he was acting wholly in the
interest Of the city. More hot
words were passed about, several

others we're drawn into the argu-
ment and the war Of words went on
till the council finally got down to
business.
All members present except
Don ovan. J. c. Early took his
place as Melton's successor.
A petition from citizens on the
north side of line Greek was read,
asking that the bridges be rebuilt
and they be pc permitted to work
their tax out in their own part of
town. F. @. Stubs, a northside
resident represented the petitioners.
Leave of absence was granted
to Fire Chief Matt to attend the
national fire chiefs convention in
Kansas City August 2o-3I, an al
lowance Of $25 being made for his
expenses.
A communication from the in
surance companies was read in
which the companies threatened TO
raise insurance rates ten cents on
the hundred if the $500 occupa-
ton tax on them were not re-
moved.
Alderman Louthan made an inn
portant report as chairman of the
water and sewer commission.
Louthan resigned as chairman
of the police committee and
OBrien was named by the mayor
to take his place. Early was Civ
en- the committee places held BY
Melton.
J. H. Foley, representing the
Pittsburg Meter Co was present
and talked meters to the council.
He agreed to supply irst-class wat
er meters at S. 40 each for the SO
inch size. His proposition was
accepted and it was the general
opinion of the council that the
waterworks should be placed on a
meter system.
Louthan reported that he had
arranged for the sale Of sufficient
script to rebuild the 4th and 9th
street bridges across Line Greek
and the street and alley committee
was instructed to have the bridges
built.
The city attorney was instruct
ed to draft an ordinance forbidding
cess polls.

rooms for the city offices was read.
It calls for large front room 20
