Then the council committee on poles
and prison thought 1t unwise to lie,
newspapermen hear tho belligerept
feminine american" politicians aud
the reporters We're ordered from the
room. 1t all came about at the regulll'
meeting OF the council committees last
night and the matter at issue which
caused the heated argument between
the two women was the proposition of
Mrs. leila Clifford to serve The prls-
oners In the city jail at 10 cents per
meal. Mrs Mary Bero came forward
with a bid TO serve meals for 9 cents
each. Mrs, Bero has the support Of the
Woman's American club and Mrs
Clifford is supported by Jailer Wilkin-
son-that liz to say supported in this
instance in that he furnishes his pol
itical weight in influence.
STAR CHAMBER SESSION.
When the committee started in to
consider the matter of providing meals
for the prisoners, Couucilmen Reedail,
Stewart and Wood took up the two APP
plications The relative weight of par
ty service was weighed and the weigh
ing thereof developed a remarkable
display of feminine hatred. contempt,
scorn, and all other sorts OF evidence
OF beilicose dispositions. Then the
four councilmen named decided to hold
a star chamber session. They ordered
the reporters from the committee room
and proceeded with their argument.
Nobody knows just what happened in
that committee room except the mem
bers of the star aggregation but from
the noises which came from inside and
which could be heard in the council
chamber it is presumed that the fight
waxed even more feverish than II did
before the secret session was decided
upon. 1t was all to no avail, appar-
emily. When the committee came from
the rooms, 1t had nothing to report
and II will probably be delinquent next
Monday evening. when It's recommen-
dalton in the matter was expected to
reach the council.

TALK ABOUT SMOKE.
During the evening there was talk
about smoke and smoke ordinances.
Asst, Atty. p. J. DAILY was asked why
