Clash of Authority
Between Officials

Last night City Marshal Mccartney
arrested the manager of the dog and
pony show and held him until he dug
up $50 for the license. The fellow
produced receipt showing that he
had paid Mayor Mcconnell $25 for per-
mission to give the exhibition.
When called upon by Herald reporter
Mayor Mcconnell said: while the
ordinance calls for license fee OF
$50 day for tent shows 1t has been
the custom to make a reduction. For
the Nye show the charge was $40 "a
day and for the other two tent shows
this season $25 have been charged.
When the advance agent called on me
the first of the week | had Just re.
turned from a trip and was very busy
with my mail and other business. He
stated the nature of his show and
said he had paid but SO to s25 for
places like Pueblo and thought $40
enough for here, but rather than bother
| told him l was very business and he
would have to hunt up the members of
the council and get their consent He
returned saying he could not find
them. He said he had to so to Silver
ton that afternoon and could not at
tend the council meeting that night.
81 took the responsibility on myself
and told him would see that the per
NIT was given for S25 and spoke to
members of the council as | happened
to meet them. 1t was alright with
them and | thought no more about it.
However. some of the alderman
learning what had done told the
marshal to collect the full fee.
81 was on the grounds last evening
and the manager told me the clerk
hadn't issued the license and | then
wrote him receipt and took the
money
"rhe marshal came up about that
time and demanded the $50 fee. ]
told him had collected s25 and given
the man a receipt for it He insisted
on the full fee and brought the mana
ger down town where he paid the $50
81 have made a demand for the mar.
shals star and will put the matter up
to the council. AS long as / am mayor
! am going to see that my orders are
enforced or know the reason why"
Marshal Mccartney refused to make
a statement of his side of the contro
versy. However. he was still wearing
his star this afternoon.

OCEAN GREYHOUNDS RACE FOR

Liverpool, Sept. with the wild

ever held was commenced this after
noon between the Lusitania, the big

give the Lucania time to embark her
passengers and get away. The LII
sitania will leave Queenstown at 10
c C'clock tomorrow morning. Then will
commence the great contest of speed

The Lucania should be on the broad
oxpanse of the Atlantic doing 81 knots
with three hourp start when the new
turbine monster energies from Queens
