referring it to committee of citizens
or furniture dealers.
Mr.. Moore wanted to know why
the council didn't refer the question
of the city attorneyship to commit
tee of citizens.
The furniture bids were re-read by
the clerk and were examined by the
commissioners and acting mayor.
The original figures had plainly been
crossed off and new ones substituted.
The old controversy as to whether
the figures had been changed before
they were read April II, or between
that and the following meeting, was
then gone over. Mr.. Crowell said
that Mr.. Moore had copy OF the
figures If he cared to produce them.
The vote on the motion made shortly
before was to 8.
Acting Mayor Speaks.
Acting Mayor Pfeiffer spoke, on
being addressed by the chair. He said
the position was unfortunate. The
heating and sanitaries, he said, could
not be put in quickly. Mr.. Pfeiffer
spoke of the discrepancy regarding
the American School Furniture Com
pany's figures, and he agreed as to
the improbability that the reporters
for both papers could take down a
\ list of bids wrong and yet get them
exactly alike. He was at the meet
ling when the bids were read, he add
ed. and the reports must have copied
the figures as the secretary read
them.

cy of coming to an agreement.
Acting Mayor Pfeiffer did all in his
power to persuade the commission
ers to break the deadlock, but all to
no avail.
Finally when it became apparent
that neither faction would yield in
awarding the contracts for the heat
ing and sanitary repairs at school
No. 2 and for 636 desks to be placed
in schools Nos. 2 and 5, Mr.. Pfeiffer
gave in to the inevitable, the only
apparent way out of the tangle, and
suggested that the board throw all
the bids out and readvertise. That
would take valuable time, as it was
necessary to advertise for the space
of ten days, but, said Mr.. Pfeiffer, it
would be the shortest way in the
long run.
AS all other propositions, of vari-
Gus character, had resulted in to
vote, Chairman Crowell, of the
building committee, offered a motion
to throw the bids out and readver-
tise. Commissioner Massopust OBJ
jected on the score that there might
be no competition if bids were called
for again. Mr.. Pfeiffer and Commits
sioners Walker and Crowell assured
Mr.. Massopust that there would be
more than one bidder for each con-
tract. When the vote was taken, how
ever, the deadlock was as fast as
ever, Messrs. Walker, Crowell and
Peterson voting aye, aud Messrs.
Sturn, Moore and Massopust in the
negative.
Now we know who's holding it
up" said President Walker.
Mr.. Sturn spoke briefly in defense
of their position. When he had fin
ished, Mr.. Pfeiffer told him that such
a position was unjust and unfair to
themselves or the city.

acting mayor. :: You know that your
state appropriation may be lost If
you don't agree soon. Do anything;

ed Mr.. Massopust.

guess Superintendent Shull could
pick out some boys who could come
as near to an agreement as you have.
"Well, we'll think it over Sunday,
said Mr. Massopust.
Seeing that further argument
would be useless, Mr.. Crowell moved
to adjourn, and adjourn they did
while the audience filed out in a
mystified mood.
Several Schemes Suggested.
A number of plans to end the dead.

ing but the split between the two
factions remained as wide as ever

Commissioner Crowell opened ths

Even the arguments of Acting Mayor
Pfeiffer failed to bring about set

last night, and the meeting was adj
journed after an hour and a half of
argument and balloting with an
agreement as far off as ever. The
meeting was even more memorable
than those which had gone before,
and the most extreme arguments
were advanced because of the urgen-

New Board of Excise in That City

First Meeting.
JERSEY CITY.
New Regulations Regarding Sa-
looms and Their Management
Made Reform Just Begun.

Following the example of the ex-
else board in Jersey City where the
saloon licenses were recently raised
to $500, the Newark Board of Ex-
else, almost with its first breath, es-
tablished a new schedule of license
fees for all classes of licenses to be
issued by it, when it met to organize
yesterday afternoon. The board, by
unanimous action, fixed all fees for
licenses at the uniform rate of $500.
This includes wholesale, retail and
beer bottlers' licenses.
The only variation from the $500
rate to be made will be in the case of
licenses for clubs that conduct bars
or buffets in their clubhouses. The
commissioners consulted with Assist
ant City Attorney Lehlbacn on this
phase of the excise question, but did
not come to any conclusion as to
whether clubs come under the juris-
diction OF the board or of the Court
of Common Pleas
Clubs May BE $500.
1t was decided, however, that If it
uttCl illell IuC DOtil u hcio Jul
isdiction, the fee for licenses for
clubs shall be $500 year, thus
making distinction between that class
of license and those granted to other
sellers of intoxicants.
The board further decided that the
public interests and the business of
the department shall best be conserv-
ed by bringing about a condition
that will cause all licenses to expire
July / each year. In furtherance of
this plan it was voted that for the
balance of the year ending July l,
1907, all licenses granted shall be
upon pro rata basis, as to fee, and
shall all expire on that date.
The commissioners concluded that
the fees charged under the previous
regime for single and double transfers
were not commensurate with the priv
ileges extended in such matters. They
accordingly voted that the fee of a
$40, instead of IS, as heretofore, and
the fee for At double transfer shall be
raised from $40 to $40.
Displaying of Licenses.
Another important innovation in
the practice of the board, which was
decided upon, was the establishment
of rule requiring all licenses of
whatever class, except clubs, to keep
their license certificates displayed in
a conspicuous place in the window
of the place so licensed, whether the
place be open for business or closed.
There were several reasons that ac-
tuated the board to take this step.
One of the principal ones was be-
cause the commissioners concluded
that it will prove an effectual check
upon persons holding licenses from
disposing of their places without go
ing through the formality of apply
ing to the board for transfer.
Later the board may take up the
proposition to classify retail licenses
so that, in connection with the en-
i forcement of the rule requiring the
I displaying of the certificates, the
4 character of the business may easily
/ be determined, especially by those
charged with the enforcement of the
law, and that the distinction between
restaurant, hotel and plain saloon
may readily be made.

SENATORIAL LEADERSHIP

The republicans of the United States senate are looking for leader. They want d man who can command the sup port of all the members of the party in that body. It is said Senator Aldrich, the erstwhile leader, has become i'm possible. His action in putting into the hands of the democrats the only niece of national legislation of any im- portance that is likely to be secured at the present session of congress, has aroused the anger of the administration republicans so that they will never fol low him again.
 The papers that are now discussing this question are casting about for a man to succeed the Rhode Islander. It Is admitted that Senator SpOoner could have the position of honor if be would come out on the administration side Of the railroad rate bill. He possesses all the necessary qualifications for leader ship. But the uncertainty as to wheth- CT be will support the presidents efforts to regulate the railroads or not, and the almost certainty that he cannot be returned to the senate after the expir- ation of his present term, have ten- dency to weaken him with those who would like to follow him. Senators Deliver, Cullom, Allison, Beveredge and others are being canvassed.
 In the meantime the minority has lost leader and gained one. Senator German has practically retired. He is i'll. and has been turned down in his own state. But new and greater man has taken his place. Even before the retirement of the foxy man from Mary land. Senator Bailey was being crowd ed to the front by the minority. His great ability as debater and lawyer, and h;s sll-round statesman-hke quail ties, were impressing themselves upon his associates. When Senator German retired an attempt was made to formal ly select the Texan to be the party leader. He declined, so none was chos- en: but he is more completely the leader than would have been the case had he accepted. The change from German to Bailey has been one Of the most important of the many things that have made stronger the relative tactic al position of the minority party in con- gress st the present time, as compared with that any time since the silver question rended it.
 Upon the selection of senate leader by the republicans may depend the re- suit of the next national election.
