and came after the testimony was all
in and Mayor Kellough had put the
motion as to whether or not Thomas
& Wendt's license was to be revoked.
Mayor Kellough took occasion to
sharply criticise the saloon ordi-
nance.
Before putting this motion I want
to, say that I believe this ordinance
as it stands is an unjust law" Mayor
Kellough declared. Il thought at the
time it was passed that it was a
vicious law and 1 am still of the same
opinion"
The mayor waxed warm in his de-
nunciatiOn of the ordinance in that 1t
prohibited saloons from opening on
Sunday while it does not refer to
any other place of business. The
mayor said he thought that under the
state laws every place of business
should be treated alike, showing no
distinction. The mayors remarks
brought out round of applause from
a number of saloonmen and bar
keepers in the audience.
GIasford Roasts the Mayor.
Councilman Glasford arose and in
a. vitriolic' speech directed at the
mayor, roasted the mayor for per-
mitting SUCH demonstrations. The
venerable@ councilman then took the
mayor to task for criticising the or
dinance.
your honor you should not per-
nit this applause. It's not for you to
say whether these laws are to be en-
forced or not" declared Glasford, his
voice trembling with suppressed emo
tion Its not for you to pass an
opinion on this ordinance. The coun-
ell are the sole judges. I suppose if
the ordinance had been presented to
you in the first place you would have
vetoed it. 1 believe it is very un-
wise for you to try to say what this
council shall do and what it shall not
do"

The only reply Mayor kellOugh
made to the attack was to remark as
Glasford sat down that he held the
right to make any suggestion he saw
fit. The tense situation was relieved

MORE SHIPS AND MARINES
President Orders Reinforcements
in Anticipation of a Little
Muss in Cuba.
MORE SHIPS AND MARINES

HAVANA, Sept. 25.-There is
trouble over calling the new elec-
tions to which Palma refuses to agree
in any measure, especially declining
Taft's proposition to submit the yues-
ton to a commission of government
insurgent and neutral men.
CAPTAIN Colwell, commander of the
Denver, is invited to a review of the
rebel army tomorrow.
Col. Duboy, leader of the insurrec-
ton in Santiago, died today with
lung trouble.
Secretary Taft is discouraged owing
to the reported refusal of Palma to
agree, to the terms Taft arranged yes
terday with the rebels.
More Ships Going.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 25.-
Upon the request of Secretary Taft
the president has ordered more ships
and 1000 more marines to Cuba.
All marines now aboard the Allan
tic battleships. numbering 45O, are
ordered to Cuba Immediately. Six
hundred from the Atlantic coast sta
tions will follow in a few days.
It is intimated that Taft warned
the president his mission will likely
fail.
Small ships are scarce and it is
likely battleships will have to go.
The battleship Texas, and the
cruisers Brooklyn and Prairie, will go
to Cuba. The Columbia will probably
go upon her return from Panama
with Secretary Root.
Taft is Discouraged.
HAVANA, Sept 25.-Taft, in an in
terview today, expressed himself as
disgruntled with the entire Cuban
situation. He told the president his
conclusions and intimated that force
alone would bring peace to the island.
Mr.. Taft announced this afternoon
the proposals submitted by him to the
government as a basis for peace.
They provide for the appointment of
three moderates, three liberals and
three Americans to act as a commits
sion to have charge of the election
laws. conducting the new election and
drawing up a, new municipal law, and
a civil service law based upon that
of the United States.

THE YERKEs ESTATE.
Startling Rumors About the Reputed
Fifteen Million Valuation.

CHICAGO, February 20.-The Chronicle
today says: Startling reports have reached
the ears of Chicago fnanciers that the re-
puted Sl5.000,0G0 estate of the late Charles
T. Yerkes is fictitious. That It will not ag-
gregate more than S6,0Oo.OO0 is report
credited by Chicago bankers who have had
occasion to make an investigation of the
former traction promoters holdings.
Since the death OF Mr.. Yerkes much of
the supposed values of traction stocks In
Chicago and London are declared to have
dwindled In an enormous degree. This sit
uation has placed in jeopardy the gigantic
New York hospital project which the late
traction king had provided for in his WILL
That the estate OF Mr.. Yeskes could not
trnthfully be quoted at $4,000 600 was adj
united last night by Attorney Clarence
knight, who represented Mr. Yerkes during
the closing years OF his life and who drew
the will disposing of his property.
There never Was any authorization for
the statement that the Yerkes estate would
amount tc, 5000, ,000," he said. There
was nothing In the vii to indicate that such
was the aggregate value of the estate. As
to whether the testate viii amount to more
or less than $15.000.000 have nothing to
say.

Within a Few Weeks.

Senator Burrows, chairman OF the COM
mittee on privileges and elections. expects
to have the additional witnesses that are to
be called before that committee in relation
to the Smoot case examined within two or
three weeks. At the close of the last tes-
timony that was taken In this case Senator
Smoot requested the privilege of calling
some additional witnesses to reply to testi-
mony that was offered. He was given this
privilege but up to this time. 1t Is not
known what progress has been made to-
ward getting such witnesses together. SEN
ator Burrows today requested counsel for
the defense to hasten the calling Of these
witnesses as much as possible. as he desires
to avoid any unnecessary delay.

nesses will be called after those who will
appear In behalf of Senator Sroot have
testified. The latter part of next month, at
the latest, Senator Burrows hopes that his
committee will have concluded the taking
of testimony and will get down TO q con-
sideratlon of the case and the framing OF
a report to the Senate. He is opposed to
allowing the case to drag along indefinitely,
and believes that 1t can not only be dis

SAFETY OF THE DEWEY.
Relief Experienced at Tidings Receiv-
ed Of the Big Drydock,

News Of the safety of the drydock Dew
ey. brought to the Canary Islands yester
day by the tug Potomac, was received with
great relief at the Navy Department, where
the officials had been making every effort
for the past week to conceal feeling of
real apprehension for the safety of the big
structure. The photographer of the de-
partment has been plotting the course of
the dock as revealed in the wireless cable
reports since 1t left the Chesapeake, and 1t
appears that although 1t started off at a
good speed, averaging about 100 miles
day. something must have happened lately
to greatly reduce that average The fact
is that nearly a month has been consumed
In making about 1000 miles. indicating that
either heavy headwinds and adverse cur
rents have been encountered or that acci-
dents have happened to the towing gear.
The dock is believed To be now about 900
miles from Gibraltar. and If all goes well
from now on it should pass into the straits
inside Of a fortnight.
