President Melvin. after Mr.. Hilles' little
introduction, presented a plan prepared
by the city engineer. which was found
satisfactory 10 the corporation officials
and TO Mr. Salisbury for the Jcssup and
Moore Company.
Gas Company Objected.
The objection of the gas company how
ever, was then encountered. This plan
provides for a road across the property
of the gas company and gives a straight
outlet from the road occupied by the
Jessup and Moore Company to Madison
street As satisfying the demand OF the
paper company for a road affording as
good an outlet from its plant as Il has
now, the plan was eminently satisfactory.

ASSAILS THE

EmperOr'S AbSOIutiSm
DRAMATIC DEBATES
START IN THE REICHSTAG

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
BERLIN, Nov. 1O.-With packed gall
leries and the atmosphere surchargcd
with excitement the Reichstag today
began a dramatic debate of the Kaiser's
famous interview and the ensuing re-
velations of alleged incompetency in the
Office of Chancellor Won Buelow Won
Buelow and all the ministers were
present.
The basis of the debate will be six
interpretations addressed to the Chan
cellor by the various parties in The
Reichstag, the Conservatives, the I'M
perialist Conservatives. the National
Liberals, the Clericals, the United Lib
eral groups and the Socialists. The
Socialists are most violent in their
opposition to the Kaiser and the re-
cent administration of the foreign Office.
The interpretations aimed at Won
Buelow are TO ascertain whether he
is prepared to take measures to pre-
vent the Emperor's incursions into con-
troversial politics and to lessen his in
dividual participation in governmental
affairs; in brief whether he is prepar-
ed to eounteract the growing absolu-
tism of the Kaiser.
The debate began under the most
dramatic circumstances. The German
people have never been so aroused
against the Emperor Hundreds Of
strangers are clamoring for admission
70 the assembly hall.
Herr Wassermann began the debate
for the National Liberals. He made
a savage onslaught on the Kaiser's ten
dency to absolutism, which he declar.
ed resulted disastrously for Germany
we must state plainly and publicly
TO the nations Of the world that we
are not afraid of the yellow peril oi
other perils." Wasserman said. but tn,
danger from an international policy
based on the Emperor's sudden moods
is incalculable.
"Germany's fate must no langer de.
pend on one mans impulsive tempcra,
ment"
