AmpeIopsis Tricusidata.

This vine is always catalogued as
A. Veitchii, and is commonly called
Boston Ivy. 1t is strong, vigorous
grower, clings closely to wall. and
is very useful for screen during
summer. The only objection to 1t IS
the fact that being deciduous, the
leaves drop in the fall and only the
bare branches are left during the
winter. We have one planted at the
corner of our house. The gable end
faces the northeast; this is so COM
pletely covered by the growth OF the
vine that in summer nothing but the
leaves can be seen. The vine has
also run around the corner and COW
cred about half OF the side of the
house.
We have mentioned the vine to call
attention to the curious difference In
the growth of the vine this spring.
on the side facing southeast the
leaves are mostly out and many Of
them nearly full grown, while on the
end of the house facing northeast
less than a dozen twigs show any sign
I OF growth and on these only one or
| two small leaves each are formed.
The growth all comes from one set OF
roots, therefore it is very strange
that the very slight difference in ex-
posure to the sun should make SO
great a difference in the starting into

MUST CITY PAY
BACK MONEY?

The question of whether the city
is to pay back to Contractor Uses
hackers the $4,000 he forfeited by
default on the First ward sewer
contract was brought up last night.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Allen said he had been informed
by Corporation Counsel Hamblen
that the city had a perfect right to
keep the money.
Commissioner J. T. O'Brien said
that in an opinion furnished the
commissioner the corporation coun-
sci said the money must go back
to Use to prevent a suit.
Councilman Brown asked if il
were not a fact that Ilse had taken
the contract at such low price he
would lose money on it.
Attorney A. H. Kenyon stated
that it was not, but that the reason
for flunking was that the sewer as
surveyed would not drain all the
property tributary to it, and in
consequence the bonding company
would not put up Uses bond.
Brown retaliated by asking if Nc
Crea & Merryweather, agents for
the bonding company, did not own
an addition near the sewer dis
trict and wanted to be included in
it. Kenyon said it owned property
there, but that other property be-
sides theirs was not included.
The matter was referred back to
the corporation counsel with in
structions to return an opinion as
to the city's obligation. or power
to give back the money after it has
been legally forfeited.
The amount, by the way. belongs
to bank that attempted to finance
Uses contract. Hence the heated
question Of the city's authority to
keep it.

10000 CLUB
TO THE FRONT

The extent to which the Inter
state Fair association was bluffing
in trying to force pool room gam
bling at the fair in spite of legal
prohibition duly enacted, is reveal
ed by the fact that the directors
and a $50 900 club committee are
holding a session this afternoon to
arrange a fair with the gambling
feature eliminated.
This. according to Interstate Fair
association declarations previous to
Mayor Moore's unequivocal stand
on the question, is an impossibility
and action based on any other
theory is ridiculous.
But in spite of the strongest in
fluences that could be brought to
bear Mayor Moore refused to per-
nit game of football with his Of
fee, and the proposed operation on
the anti-pool ordinance begged
down after hasty readings has
been given it by an apparently will
ing council.
The hum of the buzZsaw began
" deNeiOp ~ SuCH an eAlcHl tHdl
it attracted attention even in the
council chamber.
Naturally another tack had to be
taken, as there was no real deter
mination to abandon the fair. It's
too much of mOney-maker to be
forsaken that easily, although the
returns from the pool room graft
on the races is undoubtedly the
leading factor from financial
standpoint. So readjustment may
be comfortably accomplished
through the chamber of commerce
and 10000 club, and the fair man
agement saved from an embarrass-
ing backdown.
Any deficit the directors may
figure out because of the scarcity
of race track grafters will be made
up. as the plan is outlined, through
the threadbare but usually effective
method of levying a tribute on the
business interests of the city
through the 10000 club.

Create GARBAGE
Department

The question of the crematory
department was brought up by
Councilman Pratt in committee of
the whole last night and was re-
ferred to the board of public works,
which is to submit all the data it
can on garbage collection. The or
dinance proposes to place the
crematory, street cleaning and
garbage collection under the mead
of a crematory department. The
city is to extend its credit to the
department, which is to reduce
animals, peddle the fat, hides, ETC.,
and assess certain cost for the re-
moval of garbage.
Attorney H. B. Merritt, who
drafted the ordinance, addressed
the council and said that from his
investigation he believed that if
the department was extended cred
it for 3 months it would be a pay
ing proposition which would return
not less than 81 900 a month.
The department wants the right
to draw warrants against the city
fund, as the water and street de-
partments now do.
Councilman Laumer spoke in de-
Tense of James Sorenson, the man
who has a monopoly of garbage
collection, and wanted to know of
Merritt just how independent"
collectors would be effected. Mer.
rift replied that if they could COM
pete with city charges they could
continue in the business He also
volunteered the information that
Davenport's paid 900 a month for
the removal of it's garbage. Laumer
said Merritt was mistaken, that it
was 5000 a year. Commissioner ].
T.. O'Brien suggested that Laumer
was off about it, that he had been
informed that the small Club cafe
paid $40 month and it was quite
likely that Davenport's expense
was close to 5000 for the same
period.

HolO England's Cassie Chadwick
U0rked Mako Name of Morgan

LONDON, July eliminating the
methods of Cassie Chadwick, and
using the name of J. Pierpont Nor
gan as a decoy, woman known
as Mrs. Josephine Leslie, employed
as an English kennel maid, sue
ceeded in obtaining from a rich
Irish woman, Miss Annie Blount,
$42,500, and from an English wild
ow, Mrs. Maria Stokes, $4,000. Ac-
cording to the police, she also Sc
cured large sums from other peo-
plee, Now she is serving a 5-year's
sentence in prison, having been re-
Gently convicted.
There is much mystery attached
to the case, for the police say Mrs.
Leslie has relatives worth millions.
Mrs. Leslie displayed worthless
checks for amounts up to 100000
in order to show Miss Blout how
wealthy she was, and succeeded in
persuading the gullble Irish wom-
an that she had Pierpont Morgan
under her thumb, and that Morgan
was almost on his knees to her,
trying to induce her to invest
money in his securities.
The two women met while Miss
Blout was on visit to some coun-
try friends. where Mrs. Leslie was
employed to look afteh Their dogs.
The visitor from Ireland was i'm
pressed by the culture and gentility
shown by Mrs. Leslie, who appear
ed to be much superior to the or
binary run of English servants.
When Miss Blout terminated her
visit she and the kennel maid were
fast friends, and later met frequent
ly. Then Mrs. Leslie threw up her
dog job and devoted herself to the
Cassie Chadwick brand of high
finance.
She started in by limiting of her
connection with a great American
money king, and then gradually
worked up TO mentioning Morgan
as her financial adviser. One eve
ming at dinner with Miss Blout, a
large basket of flowers came to
Mrs. Leslie with a card on which
was written Can you not trust
friend? J. P. NJ" Mrs. Leslie said
Morgan bad sent the flowers to her
as makeup gift because he had
lately been disagreeable to her.
Il wish he wouldn't do these
things said Mrs. Leslie.
Then she began to dip into Miss
Blout's purse. Morgan, she said,
ha diet her into good thing,
promising that for every $4,000 she
invested she would receive II per
cent interest and 1925, 900. Miss
Blout passed over $4,000 in a check
drawn to Mrs. Leslie's order, who
explained that this was necessary
because she did not want Morgan
TO know she was giving away his
tip to her friends.

GOOD
To JOHNSON

Councilman E. V. Lambert
master plumber, failed to secure a
raise in pay from 500 to $3.50 per
month for Steve johnston, his
plumbing inspector, but succeeded
in having the committee report out
for passage an amended ordinance
which raised the pay to $125. In
backing up his appeal he said that
Johnston was a thorough plumber
who knew his business and was do
ing all the work of the Office with
out an assistant. He stated that
plumbers were getting about $3.50
a month, and the inspector was re-
ceiving only 500.
Councilman Pratt opposed the
raise to $3.50 and suggested $125
instead He said that Johnston
would be getting 1925 the year
round, while plumbers did not work
every day. Lambert insisted that
plumbers work every day in the
year and get big salary. He did
not mention the difference between
actual work and inspection. Pratt
wanted to know about the receipts
of the master plumbers, like Lam
bert and Johnson. Lambert joking
ly replied that they got all the
journeymen plumbers left. 1t was
no joke, though, as those having
plumbing done will swear.
Pratt also wanted to know why
Johnston had given up a lucrative
business to take job at 500 a
month.
Lambert did not reply.
The question of an assistant was
brought up by Lambert landing
Johnston for doing all the work
alone. Pratt said that when Ethan
Allen jr. was appointed inspector
he also agreed to do the work alone
but soon after asked for and was
given an assistant. He predicted
that this course would follow in the
present case

FIGHT i D 1hfaI1F
OVER GRADE

The council. most of it, tried to
slip the proposed franchise of the
}. r. & N. across North Monroe
st. through last night. and would
nave succeeded were 1t not for
he hot attack made by Robert l..
Dalke. councilman from the Fourth
ward, who headed off the move
ment.
Captain John Gray submitted an
amended ordinance which differed
from the other in that it stipulated
that the o. R. & n. was to switch
cars only between 6 a m. and u,
and II to 6 p m. This practically
meant that switching might be
done at all hours of daylight, just
the time when Fourth warders
don't want it. No provision was
made for grade separation.
Councilman n. S. Pratt, following
Dalke. said that he would like 10
vote it down, but that Northslders
had not objected to the Great
Northern when it secured its fran
chise to cross several north side
street, including North Monroe
They offered not the least objec-
ton and the franchise was granted
with no strings on it, no grade sepa-
ration clause or provision as to just
when switching should be done.
Dalke became heated thereat and
said that Pratt was a party to an
infamous deal which allowed the
Great Northern to secure its fran
chise almost in a night and with
out the proper publicity.
Pratt retaliated by saying that
Dalke's declaration was false, and
explained that the franchise had
been advertised for 80 days.
Dalke insinuatad that Pratt was
a railroad worker. Pratt said that
was false.
The squabble ended by the mat
ter of grade separation being ar
gued pro and con to such an eX-
tent that it lost form and sense and
had to be referred to the corpora
ton counsel for an opinion as to
whether the city could. were
grade separation clause not in
cluded in the franchise, force it
upon the company Thefe was no
real need of referring the matter,
but it was a means of disposing.
temporarily, of the thing without
either councilman backing down.

ANOTHER YEAR
FOR 81 GAS

The council committee last night
extended the time in which the 81
gas company is to get busy to Sept.
26, 1908, just l year. William F.
Kyle appeared for his associates
and stated that the principal rea-
son that they were not now ped
ding gas at 81 was that the bond
market was low and even Jim Hill
found it hard to float bonds. This
is the second extension of time
given to Kyle. There is little
doubt in the minds of councilmen
that the franchise is speculative,
but the councilmen granted the re-
quest without reluctance.
The need of cheaper gas is too
painfully apparent to admit of TAX
ing any chances on not getting it,
no matter how remote the prospect
may seem The company has a
cash bond of $4,000 up, which the
council might easily declare for
feited to the city, and the city
needs money gust now, too. In the
extended time franchise Kyle Of

Councilman Baldwin asked Kyle
If he would guarantee to have any
work done in 80 days, but Kyle
wouldn't.

\. P. FRANCHISE
! HEADED OFF

z The attempt of the council last
might to sneak out franchise
granting to the Northern Pacific
railroad the right to build 8 spurs
on Riverside av. east of its freight
yards was headed off by Council
man Dalke, who brought to the at
tention Of tie other councilmen the
fact that there was a long list of
protests to be considered.
Councilman Brown first asked
for the franchise which had been
