COUNCIL DECIDES TO
CALL FOR MORE BIDS
Figures Submitted by seagraVe Com
pany for Four Chemical Combina-
ton Engines at $14e5 Alone
Prove Acceptable

Although assured by the representa-
tives of the makers of fire apparatus
that no more favorable bids would be
made even if proposals were again
asked, the city council yesterday re-
iected all bids for third-size fire
engine and city service trucks, and viii
again readvertise.
The bid of the Seagrave company
for four chemical combination engines
at $1495 each was accepted, and the
contract will be awarded to this COM
pany.
The council had difficulty in making
up its mind The supply committee
recommended that the bid of the Mott
Fire Engine company for $3.50 be ac-
cepted for the engine, that of the Rob
inson Fire Apparatus Manufacturing
company for the city service truck at
$500, and the bid of the SeagraVe cor
Germ for the four chemicals at $l499
each.
The fire commission held a special
session yesterday morning and passed
resolutions asking the council TO ignore
the recommendation of the supply COM
mittee for the bid on the city service
truck. The resolution declared That the
Robinson company apparatus was not
IN to standard of turning out goo1
work. Chief Lips made the same state
ment to the council III the alterIoo'l'
declaring that he had visited the rae
tory while in the east last summer, ana
that the departments repair shop III
Los Angeles was better equipped TO
build first-class apparatus.

council to show that the city three
Years ago. had purchased the same
kind of FIRE engine that it now pro"
poses to buy. minus some special I'M
provement worth only few hundred
dollars, for $4,000.
Believing better figures can be Sc
cured the council ordered bids read
vertised and set January ~ as the
date for opening them.

FIRE BOARD ASKS THAT
"MAIN 81" BE RETAINED

THE fire commission at a special SEES
sion YESTERDAY morning adopted reso-
utions strongly condemning the. &C
lion of the Pacific States Telephone
and Telegraph, known as the Sunset
in changing the number of the fire de-
partment central station.
For years the fire department has
had the number Main Il. It is an easy
humber to remember and when wanted
in a hurry has been easy to speak. Now
the number is Main 1896.
The change has already occasioneo
confusion in getting the department
when 1t was wanted quickly and the
fire board asks that the old number

SUFFRAGETTES NOISY IN LONDON
LONDON, Jan. 30.-Having failed to
reach King Edward yesterday during
the ceremonies of the opening of par
lament and, as the House of Com
mons is effectively barred against them
the woman suffragists of England this
morning adopted a new method of pro-
testing against the fact that his ma
jesty, in his speech from the throne,
made no mention of their demands to
be permitted to vote.
The militant members of the organ
ization formed themselves into several
committees, which, at the same hour
today, visited the homes of the various
members of the cabinet for the pur-
pose of asking them to use their influ-
, ence to have the question of women's
suffrage settled at this session.
AS none of the ministers would see
them, the women demonstrated by
ringing door bells and delivering ad-
dresses from doorsteps, The police
were unprepared for this course Of ac
tion and noisy scenes were witnessed
on several Of the fashionable thorough
fares of London. The women eventu
ally were dispersed after seven arrests
had been made.

Oil Trade Liable to Be Paraiyzed.

A. IL result OF the recent decision of the
Supreme court, eXpellinG the Standard and
Republic. Oil companies from Missouri and
ordering the Waters Pierce company of ST
Louis to reorg:nZe before January Is. the
OIL business seems likely to get into IL very
bad tanyIe.
It is thoayht that probably motions for re-
hearing will STAY the Judgment until relief
of some sort may be obtained.
According to Assistant Attorney General
Kennsh so sweeping is the decision that it
will be difficult to determine its effect until
afterthe time allowed for filing such motions
has elapsed.
Criminal prosecutions. such us were lnStl-
tuted against FL. Clay Pierce in Texas. may
be brought following the conviction of the
Standard and Republic Oil companies. It's the
laws of Missouri require that nonresident as
we'll as home corporations must file affidavit
that they are not in any combination in re-
stl1lnt of trade.
Another result might be that the Waters
Pierce Oil company, which for some time has
been nothing more than distributing station
for the Standard Oil company of Indiana, will
not be able to do business, not having the oil
to supply it's patrons.
The decision blnshes from the state the
Standard and Republic oil companies y
Missouri statute makes it Il felony to sell on
offer for sale the products of amy company
which has been banished from the state for
violation of the antitrust laws.
! Under the decision Of the Supreme court
! the Waters Pierce company may continue
business III this state on payment OF a S3O,ON
! fine and reorganization of the company to the
satisfaction of the court.
Many federal points were developed i'll the
trial which made it evident that the counse
for the trust intended to appeal to the United
States Supreme court in the event that the
case had gone against it.

A COLUMBIA, Mo-, telegram, dated

college guarantees the state Legislature
that with an appropriation of $4,000 for
the biennial period it will save the farm
ers of Missouri from ST .OOO, 200 to So, OOO,-

disease amount i'll no year to less than
the first figure and frequently reaches
the latter. The hog cholera serum was
discovered by DR.. NJ. Dorsett of the
United States Department of agricul-
ture, but it was perfected and made
practical by DR.. J. w. Connoway of the
Missouri Agricultural college. He has
been working on the problem for months
