He last meeting Of the City Coun- cli for 1908 was held last night and II proved to be one Of the most in- &eresting sessions of the year A large delegation Of residents of East second avenue crowded into the Coun- ell chamber and made q determined effort to rid the East End of the city of its Red Light District, but their efforts met with little success. There was much routine business during the session, but the discussion which re- suited over the petition of the East second property owners used up much of the time during the brief session
 After the minutes of the previous meeting were approved, the Council declared q large sign on the building occupied by the persons who are con- ducting the Wreck Sale" on Main street, nuisance and ordered the Chief of Police to remove it.
 Alley Causes Trouble.
 Alderman William Nichol reported that request had been made to him to get tha city to open an alley be- tween East Second avenue and the river front. near Alabama street. Sey- aral profsrty owners in the delega- ton from East Second avenue opposed the procedure, declaring that the property did net belong to the city, out to private parties. c. J. Langs- ton was one oT the property owners who opposed the alley. Tine matter was referred to the City Engineer for Investigation.
 7 City Engineer Pafkes was instruct <%N. to repair the sewer on East Bar raa,rA street which was damaged by the caving of the river bank.
 Chief Stewart Falls.
 While this matter was being dis cussed the chair which Chief Of Po- lice Stewart was seated gave way and the Chief fell to the floor. The mis- hap caused much laughter, but order was restored immediately by Mayor Toney and his gavel.
 The Council authorized the exten- sion of the water mains ill the negro settlement known as "Battlesville. An ordinance was adopted authorizing the extension and several fire plugs are to be installed in that part of the city. Heretofore this section has been without fire protection.
 At the suggestion of Alderman Jor- dan the Council ordered two lights nlaced at Thirteeth avenue and Oak street and Fourteeth avenue and Oak street.
 aDrummers" Can Drum.
 Alderman Hollis presented peti- tion signed by many Main street hnsiness men, asking for the adop- tion of an ordinance prohibiting drumming" by negroes in the en- nloy of various stores. The petition ers declared it a nuisance. A fight nh Main street recently between storekeepers and negro drummers nrompted the petition. When the or dinance was presented Alderman Ni- ca,o, stated that the Chief of Police ought to be able to remedy any "ao

involve serious complications dealing
with lessees, sublessees, and many other
tenants, some of whom may be guilty
of violating the law, others not.
| We certainly would at any time or
direct evidence of such violation have
! been very willing and glad to have
| taken immediate action in the matter
| We do not believe in violating any
| laws, nor do we believe in encouraging
others to violate them. Furthermore
we are anxious to prevent any unlaw,
full use by lessees or sublessees of prem
ises leased by us for ourselves or for
those whom we represent. On the other
hand. where we carry on a trust, we
cannot take radical steps involving the
interests and legal rights of Others
which might easily be taken on our
own account if the property belonged
to us.
On the receipt of your letters, we i'm
mediately began searching investiga-
ton in the matter. The present repre-,
|sentatives of the lessees have been mott
fed Of your letters and copies Of the
same furnished them and immediate in
formation as to the truth Of your
charge demanded. Mcgee has also been
given to them that if your charge is
true and if they continue breaking the
law in this respect, their leases viii be
revoked and the trustees will enter and
take possession.
On an examination BY our represen-
tative, the Iessees stated that they sub
lease the premises to a large number
Of tenants and that they do not know
that any portion Of said premises is
used for the purpose which YOU charge.
but that they viii investigate and in
the future keep closer watch and eject
any tenants found guilty thereof
We have brought all the pressure we
can to bear on our tenants, short of
actually breaking the lease. We are
not authorized under the law to at this
time take that last step nor would we
feel justified in so doing under our
fduciary obligation TO the beneficiaries
of the trust and under our duty TO the
many innocent people who are living on
these premises. until we can obtain
proof OF the truth Of your charge
It IS our wish TO cooperate with YOU
in every possible way in your efforts

and if our tenants continue to break
the law IN this respect. we ask you
TO furnish us proof thereof and we viii
then promptly take action

lessees are enclosed herewith.

men engaged in removing the trolley tracks from
the side to the middle of the street. AT first it
thought the bones were those of Revolution
ary soldier, but buttons or fragments of
clothing found little support given that
theory.
A search of the history of Westchester County
revealed the fact that q century ago the locality
had been invaded by Indians. and as the skull bore
pronounced aboriginal appearance the opinion
that the skeleton that of of the chiefs of
the tribe vas readily accepted by many. Another
theory which found believers was that the skele-
ton was that of of the victims of band of
brigands who known to have infested the local

Standing, grim and gray. in cornf1eld. about one
hundred yards from the roadway and directly north
of the place where the bones were unearthed, is &
