cOUNCILMEN WAR OVER
NEW ELECTRIC LIGHTS

Councilmen had a merry war yester-
day afternoon over the division of new
street arc lights. 1t is proposed to in
stall 200 more before July.
The question was sprung rather un-
expectedly by Councilman E. A. Clam
pitt of the Second ward, who last year
felt that his share had been ruthlessly
cut down. His plan was to divide the
200 lights as follows: Sixth ward, 35
lights; First Second, Fourth and Fifth
wards. 2S lights each; Third and Sew
enth wards, 10 lights each, and the
Eighth ward, lights.
Councilman Healy had the lowest
number, but he did not complain, as his
ward has been taken care of in the
past.
The next lowest, Councilmen Lyon
and Wren, caused objections by the
Third ward member (Wren). as he felt
he should have at least eighteen lamps,
as he had many applications, and last
session he gave Councilman Pease four
lights for his (Fourth) ward.
In the 2S-light class the chief objector
was Councilman Wallace. who recalled
that he, too. had given President Pease
have as many as the Sixth ward-35.
Then the debate grew fast as to
whether population or area should gov
ern i'm the distribution of lamps, with
the result that every councilman was
getting further away from the original
estimate.
On vote the schedule as suggested
by Councilman Clampitt was adopted,
it being understood that in July when
the new fiscal year opens, more lights
will be installed all over the city.

OCTUPLE SOULS
OF ROWING ASSOCIATION
By Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 6.-To introduce
octuple scull rowing among the colleges
Of the country is to be one of the seri-
GUS efforts of the American Rowing as
sociation. The stewards hope to have
at least three such eights in competi-
tion for their annual regatta on the
Schuylkill river at Philadelphia on
May 20.
To date the University of Pennsyl-
Vania is the only college that has de-
veloped this style of rowing
Coach Ward intends to turn out an
other such eight this year.
In previous seasons the Quakers have
been obliged to secure their opponents
for this race from club crews, but this
year the stewards hope to have one or
more of the big universities enter oc-
tuple scull crews.
The experience of Pennsylvania
proves the great utility of turning out
octuple crews Every year Coach Ward
forms his surplus oarsmen into an oc-
tuple scull crew, and in addition to en-
tering them into the American regatta
they are used to pace the varsity eight
in it's time trials. For this work they
are far better than any number of Sec
ond crews. Inasmuch as the Pough-
keepsite regatta clubs are anxious to
adopt this style, the American Rowing
association stewards expect the colleges
that row at Poughkeepsie to take ad-
vantage offered by the regatta here.
The stewards are beginning to re-
ceive entries and assurances of entries
from any club oarsmen throughout the
east. 1t is expected the club crews will
have better representation than ever
before. Bennett and DAILY, the Worces-
ter champions, expect to compete, while
this city will send over its usually large
The same is true of Balti-
more and Washington.

DELAY LICENSING
CHARTERED CLUBS
High and Low License Lawmakers
VIII Try to Get Together In
the Meantime and Fix
Fair Fee

The council decided yesterday to put
off decision on licensing social clubs
for another week.
City Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt re-
ported three ordinances as instructed.
one of them naming $25 a month as the
license fee. He explained that most of
the clubs were chartered for friendly or
social purposes--not for profit-by the
state and most of them had buffet at
tachments. These, 1t was now proposed
by the city to license, a legal proceed =.
ing.
Councilman A. j. Wallace thought
the license should be at least $125
monthly and the number should be re-
stricted If possible.
This will probably result in large
increase in clubs" said the leader of
the anti-liquor element on the floor,
"and in another sense In an enlarge
ment of the saloon idea.
IF we want to decrease the evil, since
the state charters the clubs, we had
better make the license high"
Councilman Henry Lyon said the
former prosecutir, e. ]. Fleming, was
strongly in favor of licensing clubs, as
it would give the police better control
the club rooms.
Councilman Henry Yonkin said 1t was
a bad proposition for the police under
present conditions to get any evidence
against unlawful acts in the closed
clubs.
Councilman Wren said only dozen
real clubs existed, and he saw no rea-
son for appointing an inspector of
licenses for these. He said they would
cheerfully pay s125 if such a license
We're voted.
Someone said there were about $50
clubs in the city, don't mean clubs
like upstairs in the Germain building,
said Councilman Wren, looking side
ways at Councilman Dromgold.
mo reference to the Democratic
club, please" said Mr.. Dromgold.
Councilman Lyon said he would like
to have City Auditor w. c. Mushet
present at the hearing next Monday
afternoon.

EXCITED FANS WILL

Both Teams Prepared to Fight Against
the Jonah of Lost Games
at the Seasons
Opening

Today is the day when the Angels
and Commuters will take up the broken
strang of their weeks series, interrupt
ed by the customary off Monday, to de-
eide for the first of the many times to
come during the season which team
must assume the temporary lead in
the standing chart.
In baseball as in every other pro-
fession there is a certain near super
stition connected with bad beginning
hoodoo which is avoided by club as
a hobo shrinks from the association of
a woodpile.
Today the Oaks and Seraphs will
face this Jonah with a determination
to evade it's influence, bread of in
stinctive suspicion, and when the
bleacherites have watched the last bat
ter face the last curve, one of the
teams will be a notch farther along
toward the top of the column.
And take it from our Hen, his hire
lings will not be the ones to approach
the tail end division. Capt. Dillon has
a clearly defined hunch concerning the
strategy necessary to cop this third
meet with the northern pennant candt-
dates and has already outlined his field
manipulations. What are they? Well,
that is the secret.
The way the teams stand now is one
and one. Sundays game was a cor
rect imitation of a battle royal or the
most reliable critics are badly mis-
taken. Todays mixup promises the
same interesting characteristics, with
the disagreeable part of the defeat of
the local favorites left out, but

MAY CREATE OFFICE OF
BARBER SHOP INSPECTOR
TAX ON CHAIRS WILL PAY WAGES
OF NEW OFFICIAL
Health Department Favors Looking
After Cleanliness in Tonsorial Es-
Establishments to Guard Against
Skin Diseases

Inspector of barber shops" is the
newest office to be created by the city
council.
His pay will be derived from a tax
of about 20 cents each month on each
chair in each shop.
Councilman Dromgold said the health
department favored an inspection of
all shops because skin diseases had
been prevalent at times largely because
of unsterilized Instruments being used
in some shops.
Councilman Henry Yonkin said he
opposed taxing BARRIERS just to give an
other man job, but it was explained
that the leading BARRIERS favored the
measure, as the tendency would be to
do away with insanitary scent shops
and shops where novices were en-
ployed.
The question was laid over week
at the suggestion of Councilmen Yonkin

thought

Though Mayor A. c. Harper yester-
day declared himself as believing that
there was no ground for the charge
that Police Commissioner II. w. Lewis
was using undue influence in introduce
ing Cigar Merchant A. r. Kloeb to
saloon men, a general order has gone
out among all commissioners on Mayor
Harper's boards that friends must. not
be escorted through the business dis
trict in a way which would be mis-
construed as using public office for
private gains.
Local cigar dealers were back of the
complaint. which they say resulted be-
cause local cigars were at disadvan-
tage against New York cigars when a
dealer representing eastern brands was
escorted to saloons and introduced by
a member of the police board.
