TRIED TO RUSH
PHONE FRANCHISE
THROUGH COUNCIL

An attempt to force action on the ex-
elusive telephone franchise report, which
contains over 100 printed pages at last
evenings meeting OF the commoi council
was prevented only by the vigilance OF
friends of the Home Telephone company,
Balch and Council Clerk Hayden, who
had figured that % was two-thirds OF IS.
On this brilliant figuring President Balch
had declared motion to suspend the
rules was carried.
The error was detected later by Coun-
Gilman Flynn. President Balch reversed
his ruling and after another vote had
been taken both the majority and minor
ity reports from the commtte on Home
Telephone company's petition for fran
chise were deferred until Monday, June
II.
Before Mr.. Flynn questioned the cor
rectness OF the announcement the presi-
dent had made OF the vote on Councilman
Darling's motion to suspend rules Is and
IL Clerk Hayden and President Balch had
conferred together and IL was announced
that % voted In the negative. Thereupon
the president stated that the necessary
two-thirds vote had been secured and that
the rules were suspended.
Every ordinance presented shall before
being acted upon have two readings, says
rule is. the first at the meeting at which
regular meeting. and both meetings shall
not occur upon the same date. Rule II
provides that ell committees and heads
OF departments having reports TO make
or business to present 10 the common
council shall give notice 10 the clerk or
such intention at least three days before
the meeting, that the business may be
printed upon the docket. Unless there is
such notice the business shall not be con-
sidered.
DARLING MOVED TO SUSPEND.
Mr.. Darling made the motion TO suspend
the rules Immediately after the reading
Ing of the council.
Mr.. Flynn asked the purpose OF the mo-
tion.
Mr. Darling said several matters were
TO be considered and he supposed that the
gentleman from the Third ward was
aware that the telephone reports were
coming up at this meeting. The presi-
dents ruling was not questioned at first.
Later there was brought up from the
committe on city property substitute
resolution with reference TO the leasing
Of the old city building on Market square
to the Providence board OF trade. The
mayor had objected to the form OF the
original resolution. declaring that the
lease should be executed satisfactorily to
the mayor and the city solicitor. The res
oiution was therefore referred back to
the committee, and Chairman Carpenter.
in presenting the substitute, declared that
the contentious OF the mayor were well
based.
Mr.. Flynn objected TO the consideration
of this resolution until a point OF order
which he wished to make could be ruled
uron.

New York banks which have since her de-
parture been found TO be worthless

belief that she was wealthy. arrived at
Newport May %. accompanied by a
former Newport young man. They regis

An interesting story comes from
New Castle, where the Harder-Hall

story concerns principally Franklin
Vail, the leading man Of the com
pany, :
That Mr.. Vail is handsome, even
the most "catty'' of leading men
have to admit, but in this case his
beauty was fatal. at least to his
peace of mind.
The incident occurred at the mat
inee, when the play in progress
gave Mr.. Vail an opportunity to
look and act his prettiest. The
most interested spectator in the au-
dience was Miss Lena Poffenberger,
a society bell known as the fluffy
rufHes'' of Newcastle. AS soon as
Vail stepped on the stage Miss Pof-
fenberger gave a suppressed shrek.
and turning to her companion said.

The lady waited at the stage

Miss Poffenberger was taken home,
where she has been lying in state
of hypnotis coma ever since, while
it took the combined efforts of
Manager Eugene Hall and Miss
Daisy Carleton. the leading lady, to
restore Mr.. Wallis features to their
accustomed classic calm.

It had just dawned upon Philip
Smart that Kate Hampton was the girl
he wanted. He wondered how he could
ever have hesitated or ever have had
q doubt. Why, she was simply cut out
for him, he thought, Is he dressed with
care and precision to 60 and tell her SO.
II should have told her months ago."
he mentally argued. "She must think
I'm an awful duffer," and he wondered
anew that he had been such a blind
fool as not to know what had been the
matter with him all these months, He
believed now that he had been in love
with her ever since they had gone to
the Kindergarten and had not known it.
His heart was very light, and he was
