ZION IN A TURMOIL
Fight Between Forces Of voliya
and Independents Started on
Monday Afternoon
LOCKED DOORS FOR OFFICERS

The independent officers elected
in Zion City made an onslaught on the
City Hall there Monday, trying to
take formal possession Of the city Of
fees. After threatening to break
down the doors and gain possession of
the building, they were driven off by
Chief Of Police Walker
The new officers, however, held a
meeting in the hallway Of the build
ing, formally took oath of office, and
were handed their commissions by City
Clerk Fabry.
The incident produced the biggest
sensation of the week in Zion City
and for a time it looked as if there
might be a free for all fight. The sit
uation is now even more involved than
ever. 1t is said the legal entanglements
now are far worse than before as a
result Of the officers last move.
Mayor Elect Richey and City Clerk
Elect Christianson, accompanied by the
new independent aldermanic candi-
dates and retiring City Clerk Fabry,
accompanied by Attorney Needha-n of
Chicago, went to the city hall at II
o clock for the purpose of taking pos
session and assuming charge of city
affairs. They were met by Chief
Walker, who had been detailed on the
case and was watching for just such
a step.
The new officers found the door lock-
ed and demanded that it be opened.
Chief Walker told them it would not
be opened and then Attorney Need
ham gave orders to have it broken
down.
HDo so at your peril, said the chief
and he stood ready to defend the
property which Mayor Clendenin, Vo-
iva's co-worker, had authorized him
to protect.
| The independents finally receded
from their demand and the new mayor
and five aldermen were sworn into Of
fee by the city clerk and handed their
commissions.
The Voliva faction raise the point
! that the other crowd had no right to
meet today, as the meeting last We'd
nesday evening, when but two alder
! men were there, adjourned to May 8,
at which time the Council was to be
sworn in. They contend the others
have no right to take Office before that
time and especially seeing that Mayor
Clendenin did not call the meeting
today.
| The Voliva faction also claim that
the fact that City Clerk Fabry opened
the ballot envelopes and counted the
ballots without having been authorized
to do so by majority of the old
! Council, makes matters more compli-
Gated.

MACCABEEs MEET
State Commander Meets With Local
Hive Monday Evening

The Lady Maccabees had a royal
time at their review at K. c. Hall
last evening, the state commander,
Mrs. Loretta A. Rohr Of Milwaukee,
being present. Mrs. Rohr has been in
the city several days looking over the
work and books of the order and last
evening she congratulated the local
hive on the high standard of their
work. The membership Of the Supreme
Hive is now 100000 and slogan has
been issued calling for $4,000 more by
July l. Wisconsin has been asked to
contribute 500 members of this number
A contest was started here last night
The Hive was divided into five groups
and each group is going to use it's best
endeayors to Guido the others in gain
ing new members.
The local Hive is planning to attend
"a grand rally under the supervision of
the Supreme officers in Milwaukee on
the evening Of May IL. Mrs. Rohr
has been the guest of Mrs. Davis while
here.

Another has been added to the long
list of narrow escapes at the Church
street crossing of the street railway
and sooner or later somebody is going
to be killed there. 1t is the blindest
crossing in the city and it does seem
as if the company might be required
to install some one Of the numerous
electrical warning devices, such as
other cities use, at this crossing before
there is a fatal accident. After there
is an accident the Council will doubt
less require some protection there for
citizens, but that will be too late for
the victims.

The fish and game committee of the
assembly, incensed at the action of the
Legislature in killing the spring shoot
ing bill has introduced a measure which
prohibits the shooting Of all ducks for
a period Of three years. There is lit
tie likelihood that this bill will pass,
but it's introduction illustrates the
state of mind of many of the members
at Madison and the i'll feeling that pre-
walls all through the legislature. A
good share Of the time that should be
devoted to the business Of the state
is taken up in the efforts Of different
members to get square with somebody
for something or other.

1t was clearly understood when the
plans Of that new school building were
accepted that it cost was not to exceed
$4,000 all complete and ready for use
There would be no mourning among
the taxpayers in case the Board sue
ceeds in getting the building for less
than that, but there is not much chance
of that much luck and the people vii
have to be satisfied if the Board keeps
within the limit fixed. Under no cir
cumstances should the commissioners
exceed the $4,000 limit on the build
ing complete. This is no time to in
crease expenditures.

Tariff Reform Coming

The old methods are fast passing
away in many departments of public
business; and this present revision of
the tariff is doubtless the last one of
its kind that we shall be called upon
to witness. Henceforth the tariff is
to be taken out of party politics, at
least to a great extent, and handled
in a scientific way, upon the basis of
industrial facts and statistics. The
pretense that the members of the
ways and means committee of the
house are competent to revise the
tariff schedules as mere incident
in the course of their general work
as members Of a legislative body will
have to be abandoned. It is almost
as absurd as it would be to pretend
that the members Of the census com
mittee are capable of doing the work
of the census bureau. In a matter of
this kind, statesmen and lawgivers
must learn how to employ the ser
vices of experts and statisticians-

It is cheering sign and one that
promises much for the future that a
large majority Of the members of the
Council were strong enough to rise
above petty party politics Monday
evening and organize that body on a
strictly business basis. The makeup
Of the committees indicates that there
is to be a check put upon the@extrava-
CANT and unwarranted expenditures of
the past year and that an effort will be
made all along the line to keep the
ozzpoaa dituroS cor1ro7vhoro Within reason
able limits. It should not be forgot
ten that the committees chosen by the
Council will have little or no money
to spend and that all their energies
will have to be directed towards get
ting along on as little as possible so
that the next tax levy can be kept
somewhere within bounds. The money
raised by the last tax levy is practical
ly all gone now and when the money
raised from the saloon licenses is spent
the city will have to begin borrowing
money to meet running expenses and
about all that can be asked Of the
new committees is that they keep The
debt as low as possible

Long ago the Scotch learned this.

! The sturdy old Scotchman must be
amused at the recent discoveries that
oatmeal is the best food in the world.
Our scientific men have been making
experiments which prove that Ameri-
cans eat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotchmen say: Look at our
nation as proof. The sturdiest nation
on earth" Still we have one good point
to make. We make better oatmeal than
the Scotch.
They buy Quaker Oats and consider
it the leader of all oatmeals to be had
anywhere. Quaker Oats is sold in FAM
lily size packages at 25c or at Soc for
the package containing a piece of fine
china. The regular size package sells
at 10c. Follow the example of the
Scotch; eat a Quaker Oats breakfast
every day.
All grocers sell Quaker Oats.

There have undoubtedly been some
eases Of suffering among the poor Of
the city the past winter that could
have been relieved by a more systema-
tic handling of relief work and the
knowledge of this fact has strengthen
ed the feeling among the leading chart
ty workers in the various churches and
fraternal organizations of the city that
the time has come to form some kind
of a central bureau that shall have the
handling of all the funds set aside for
charity work In the aggregate the
amount devoted to relief work in the
course of year by the churches, socie-
ties and private citizens is large, but
the results obtained under the present
haphazard system Of distributing it are
far from satisfactory. The amount
spent is ample to supply all the needs
of the poor of the city and yet cases
of the direst restitution that could not
escape the notice of we'll organized
central charity bureau devoting all of
its time exclusively to charity work
are constantly being brought to the
notice of the authorities. 1t will not
take much investigation to convince
any one that those among the Deepen
don't poor who need help the most get
the least of it under the present method
of relief work and those who take the
trouble to study the subject at all are
soon convinced that the most economi-
cal and most effective way to handle
charity work is through a central
bureau

An examination of the vote at the
reorganization of the Council Monday
evening will enable the citizens of
each ward in the city to see just where
their representatives stood on the ques-
ton of giving the city business adj
ministration or the kind that we have
been enjoying(O for the last year.
The issue was clearly defined and
sharply drawn and all members of the
Council are squarely on record. For
the past ten days the air has been fill
ed with rumors as to where this or
that alderman stood' and what he
proposed to do, but there can be no
uncertainty now as to the stand taken
by every one of them and they have
the right to demand that they be judg-
ed solely on the record as it stands.
An alderman can be held responsible
by his constituents in his ward only
for what he does and not for what
people who may be his friends or enc
mics declare he intended to do. Tt is
the vote that counts.

The County Board of Supervisors
should take up the jail question at the
special meeting Of the Board called
for May 4. It will not take a great
ton with the establishment of the
Municipal Court for which purpose the
special meeting is called and the Board
can just as we'll consider the jail ques-
ton now as in November. 1t might
be an advantage for the Board to
consider the matter now for there will
be no other questions at the special
session to interfere with the members
giving the jail plans their entire at
tentiOn. We have the word of the
State Board of Control that the condi-
tons at the Jail are well nigh intoler-
able and should not be allowed to ex-
list a moment longer than necessary and
in view of this fact it does not seem
hardly right to lay the matter over for
another year which will have to be
done in case it is not taken up until
the November session. The architect
who is drawing the plans for the special
committee should be able to have them
passed upon by the State Board and
ready for the consideration of the SUI
pervisors by the time the special meet
ing is called and the vexed question
Of whether the Board is to build or
repair may as well be settled now as
later.
