MAYOR WANTED THE
COMMITTEE TO ACT !
Investigation, However, Delayed
Until Mr.. Cannon
Returns.
UNFAIR TO ME-. MCCARTHY
The Charge Does Not Amount
TO Row Of Pins, in His
Opinion. II
UNFAIR TO ME-M'cARTHY

over the strong plea of Mayor Me-
cartliy for an Immediate investigation
Of the bond sale matter. tho special
committee from the Council, which has
under Consideration the Mayors charges
against the Finance Committee, de-
clned last night to take the testimony
of witnesses present until Councilman
Cannon could be present. For half an
nour the matter was discussed, but,
what Is known at the national capital
as senatorial courtesy prevailed, and
the thing hangs fire again.
Had the work proceeded the inves-
tigation would have been finished last
night, ana final report would have
been Forthcoming within very few
days. Tho Mayor, Auditor Warren,
Treasurer Pace, City Accountant Cren-
shaw ana Alderman Wood were ready
to go on the stand. Chairman f.. y.
Richardson was particularly anxious to
lave the case closed. Councilman Pol
lard stated. however, that Mr.. Cannon
had been delegated by the Finance
COMMITTEES to conduct It's end OF, the
examination, and as he was out of the
city lie thought 1t only proper that the
meeting adjourn. This motion had
practically prevailed when Mayor Nc
Carthy took the floor There was re-
consideration. and on a second vote it
was decided to defer action.
Mayor Wanted 1t to End.
II do rot see why the committee
cannot go ahead" said Mayor McCar-
thy. This committee can get all the
Information. 1t wants without waiting
on MIR. Cannon. He knows nothing
more than the other members. Nobody
| is being prosecuted, and do not think
| II fair and just to me to have this
thing hanging over my head when tho
public is insinuating and when there
| is absolutely nothing in the matter, in
| my opinion.
Chairman Richardson thought that
| the hearing should not be further de-
| layed. Mr.. Pollard, however. claimed
that the committee had been hurriedly
| called together, and in justice to the
/ Finance Committee the Investigators
| should await the return of Mr.. Cam
| non.
The Mayor repeated that it was un-
| fair to have something still hanging
over his head He did not believe
that the affair amounted to row
of pins. adding that while he was will
| ing to appear every night, he still be-
! lieyed that there should be an end
to 1t. He said he saw no reason why
the Finance Committee should demand
| the services of a lawyer to conduct the
| cross e examination.
Delayed All the Same.
/ Chairman Richat dson suggested that
they examine the witnesses present,
i but Mr.. Pollard asked for n delay.
saying that the Mayor himself had
requested it once or twice before. Mr..
j Wood explained that the Mayor want
ed postponement about reunion time.
i wnen' everybody was busy, and when
the weather was hot.
II think myself" said Mr.. Wood.
that it Is best to have time to reflect.
and after sober thought there VIII
be no occasion for bitterness"
1t came to pass. therefore. that the
Pollard idea prevailed. Tie Mayor was
somewhat disappointed but he bowed
| to the will of the majority.
