Stay and Spare Not. !"

"Slay and spare not was the
watchword. To resist meant to invite
death, and seeking to escape the fury
of their assailants hundreds streamed
away in all directions in the widest
panic.
A girl and a Jewish actor were
ruthlessly shot down by the furious
pursuers. and an old man Of seventy
and two Lille four-yeaF-Old children
were beaten into insensibility
In the rush to fee, scores were
trampled on, and these crawled off or
simulated death, preferring To take
any cnance rather than to go to the
hospitals, which they feared would be
violated by their relentless foes.
In Jewish Quarter.
Nor We're the scenes in the Jewish
quarter less terrible. 1t was there
that the rabble began their rioting.
Alleging that the Jews were re-
sponsib!e- for the explosion of the
bomb, which a few days ago, caused
the deaths of an artillery officer and
four policemen, they started III to fol-

1t was stated at the time that the

endeavored to have an amendment
tackled to the BIN which would compel

meant to delay the investigation. 1t

Bailey's resolution Delegate Nugent

A MOTION ON
WATER RENTS
THE QUESTION rs SHALL PEOPLE
OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS
GET SAME RATES AS
RESIDENTS.

Mr. Shaw offered resolution ut
council meeting last night that rest.
dents living outside of the corporate
limits be charged twice as much for
city water as residents within the
city and that they pay $40 for each
sewer tap. special provision to be
made for factories outside the corpo-
rate lines. On. motion OF Councilman
McNeely the question was laid on the
table to be taken up at next meeting
Of council.
The measure was opposed by coun.
Gilman Robinson who said that 1t was
coercion of the. worst kind and done
to scare people into agreeing to come
into the city.
Mr.. Shaw showed why the measure
was a Just one. Were the nonresl-
dents OF the city who are using city
water to pay double the rent charged
those inside the corporation they
would be getting their water cheaper
than residents of the city because of
the direct tax that the city residents
are paying for interest on the city
bonds.
To make, a provision for the facto-
ries was a suggestion made by George
Lilly who was once councilman from
Second ward. The suggestion was
embodied in the motion.

A JUICY BUNCH OF lemons
HANDED TO CLARENCE D. ROBINSON
BY The CITY COUNCIL LAST NIGHT
The Well Known Sensation Producer
Got Trick Nicely Turned On
Him For Once

Twas whole crop OF lemons that
Gouncifman Robinson got last night
from Councilman shaw and he Justly
deserved the generous handout Of the
acrid fruid. Robinson had heraided IL
wide among those whom he thought
We're not kindly disposed to Mr.. Shaw,
that he was going to spring some
thing sensational Mt council meeting
last night and Indicated In o measure
What the startling revelation was TO
be and invited men OF the opposite
party to be present to witness the
start ling exposition. There were very
few in the spectorium and those that
We're there saw and heard the senior
councilman from First ward get laid
out in handsome style by the
Junior councilman Of the same ward.
Robinson brought the whole thing
upon himself and everyone seemed
pleased that he got such "a thorough
trimming. His brilliant exposition If
sensational revelations was soon shat.
tered and was as unspectacuiar as his
course has been unpopular. Were the
councilman as smart in the same pro-
portion as he is ignorant then he
might be able TO do something. He
would not only be able to cope with
Mr.. Shaw but would be able to ac.
complish much and the city would
profit by his efficiency. But alas he
is not.
The whole thing came about by
Councilman Robinson calling for al
reconsideration Of bills which were
properly endorsed by the proper COM
imlttees and ordered paid by council.
Mr.. Robinson asked council why Har.
~ Shaw got $500 for revising the city
ordinances; why Amos Stanley. for:
mer city solicitor got $3.50 IN assist.
Ing in the same work AMI why the
West virginian Publishing Company
got the printing of the ordinances
when the Index Printing Company of.
fered to do It for less.
Mr.. Robinson followed up his re.
marks by saying:
"My services are just as valuable
to this council as the services OF Har.
ry Shaw, but have never demanded
cent from them" said MFR. Robinson.
Il think the bill was extrayagant and
] move We reconsider It,"
The bill allowing MIR. Shaw $500 for
his services in revising the city ordi-
nances was passed on December is.
1t was one of those meeting nights
when council was busy and on the mo.
ton OF Councilman Howard all bills
properly endorsed were ordered paid.
Mayor Arnett informed Mr.. Robin,
son that he was out OF order and that
the matter could not be reconsidered.
Mr.. Shaw then addressed the coun.
ell prefacing his remarks by saying
that he knew that what he was about
to say was out of order but in Justice
to council and to himself he felt that
he should say what he was going to.
Mr.. Shaw said:
"Mr. Robinson has served his pur-l
pose in bringing this matter before
council" said he. "He has done iel
for personal reason, He has circu.
