Counc|nen Decide They Want no Testimony in the

-asr nights hearing Of the charges

Last nights hearing Of the charges
rreferred by Chief Brown against
four saloonkeepers developed into a
wordy wrangle between Mayor Kel-
1ough and members Of the council as
70 whether or not the hearing was to
be public affair.
The ffasco finally ended by the
council deciding to postpone the hear
inc until tonight after a vote had been
taken in which four members declared
for an open meeting last night. Three
members voted against a public hear
ing.
The vote was taken by secret bal
lot and it was impossible to determine
which members favored an open meet
ing with the exception of Councilman
Bridges and Councilman Glasford who
stoutly held out for a public hearing.
1t was surmised, however, that
Tausick and Kirkman voted for an
omen meeting, although neither ex-
pressed an opinion one way or the
other.

Councilman Mexican made the mo-
ton to continue the hearing until to-
night and rather than have the mat
terter indefinitely postponed Council
men Bridges and Glasford seconded
the motion. which was passed by a
vote of six TO one, Councilman Bach
told voting no. Subsequently Bach
told explained his vote by stating that
it was almost imperative that he
attend to some important business out
of town tonight.
The hearing last night was set for

member was in his seat. Mayor kel-

every committee meeting in the fu-
ture was to be open.
The mayor remarked facetiously that
the meeting should be public.

buffaloed," remarked Mexican.
The mayor calmly ignored the shot
and continued smoking his "dudeen."
Finally Mexican wanted to know if
the meeting could be organized with
out asking newspapers.
He suggested that if it was to be an
open meeting that the council might
as well make a little money out of it
by issuing season tickets and reserved
seats.

There was no inclination to ask for
reconsideration and the question Of
organizing the committee of the
whole was taken up. Mayor KelIough
was finally elected chairman. Mexican
suggested that as the committee
could only hear the evidence anyway
that the whole matter be continued
over until tonight's council meeting.
Several of the members wanted to
go ahead but it was finally decided to
postpone any action until tonight.
Clerk Hart was instructed to nOtf-

present tonight.

Walla Walla is in the hands of the

yesterday noon every train has brought

The session, which was to have be-

until the o. r. & n train arrived
and then was called to order in Odd

prayer by Rev. Morton Gregory of the
Central Christian church after which
President Stone read the annual ad-

newspapers and let them run the n1u-

marked it might be a good thing.
Chief Brown was asked if he would
throw the newspaper reporters out of
the council chambers when the meet
ing was called to order and the chief
replied that nothing would please him
better.
The chief digressed a little on re-
during lull in the conversation.
Mayor Kellough started the rumpus
over the advisability of holding
public meeting by stating that he had
talked with a number of the council
men and a majority seemed in favor
of closed meeting. He qualified his
statements by saying that it made no
difference to him one way or the other.

Charges of dereliction of duty in
failing to enforce the ordinance passed
by the council September 4, regulat
ing the speed of automobiles in the
city may be filed against the police
department at tonights council
meeting.
Several well known business men
were complaining to members of the
council today Of the enforcement
of the speed ordinance.
w. P. Winans, president of the
Farmers Savings bank, declared to
Councilman Bridges this morning that
no attempt was being made to enforce
the ordinance and that only yesterday
he counted no less than three automo-
bilists who were running their ma
chimes through Main and Alder streets
at speeds varying from "a to 25 miles
an hour.

Gil. machines are not to exceed II
miles an hour in the city.
Figured down into seconds under
this speed regulation. Mr.. Winans said
he found that automobiles should not
run a single block in less than II
seconds, yet yesterday when he held
a watch on some of the machines he
was dumfounded to find out that one
machine made the single block between
the corner Of Fifth and Fourth streets
on Main in five seconds.
This particular machine, at this
speed was travelling at the rate Of As
miles an hour Mr.. Winans said he
was so angry that he felt like swearing
out a warrant, but was deferred be-
cause he could not decide whether to
swear it out against the autOmobilist
or the officers.
Numerous complaints from other
citizens over the non-enfOrcement of
the automobile ordinance have been
made. Several chaffeurs utterly dis
regard the speed limit and dash in and
ont of streets crowded with teams and
pedestrians at speeds greatly exceed
