MINORITY DECIDE ID STICK TO PLACES Erroneous Reports That Alder
 men Would Resign WILL KEEP UP FIGHT Estes, Cooper and starbuck Say They Consider It Their Duty To Re-
 main Members of the
 City Council.
 
WILL KEEP UP FIGHT

The minority" will stick to it's guns.
 The report current yesterday that Au derman Estes, Alderman Cooper and AL dernan Starbuek intended seYering their connection with the municipal govern ment is untrue.
 It is a fact. however that the minority, composed of the three aldermen men tioned above did consider resigning. After the meeting of the council Wednesday night when A A Gambill was elected alderman of the Third ward and when the reports of committees eensurins cer- tain members of the council for official misconduct were turned over to the ju- dietary committee of which Alderman Fulghum is chairman the three members did consider severing their connection with the board, Alderman Estes stating, 'It is no credit to serve under present con ditions, specially when in other sections of the state the people consider no one member apart from the board as a whole"
 The change came about yesterday, how ever, and the intention of the minority to quit the game" was abandoned
