MAY SPLIT
IN COUNCIL
MOHR TRIES TO BLOCK ANY
CIVIC COMMISSION REPORT,
BUT EFFORT WILL BE MADE
TO FINISH WORK SHORTLY.

An effort will be made by the
charter revision commission at it's
next meeting to complete the
consideration of amendments that
the city council is to be asked to
submit to the people at the coming
election. The city council, or at
least majority of it's members,
have obligated themselves to sub
NIT anything to the people that
receives the approval in writing of
II members of the commission.
Some members of the city coun.
Gil have manifested a disposition
already to disregard this obliga-
ton, but it is generally understood
that the councilmen who will vote
against the submission of the
amendments to the people will
find trouble in large chunks, par
ticularly if he is a candidate for
reelection.
At the meeting of the charter
commission Saturday night, Coun-
Gilman Mohr of the Fourth ward
moved that the charter commits
sion report nothing to the city
council on the ground that the
commission was not a legal body.
This motion was not seconded, as
it was against the spirit of the
previous agreement adOpted.
The city council has the power
to submit any charter amendment
it pleases to the people, but such
submission must be by two-thirds
vote of the council, requiring in
the present council the vote of
seven members. This two-thirds
provision is the rock on which the
recommendations of the charter

Louis Martin, 2419 Sinto avenue,

THE GREEN DIAMOND.

When Montgomery entered the
little parlor, Penelope Morton was
examining something upon her left
hand, so closely, SO almost loving
i ly, that she hardly looked up. Mont
gomery experienced a strange, un
reasoning jealousy of the thing.
81 have brought you a rose" he
said, "the prettiest bloom in the

set against the tinting of your lips.
But Miss Morton was engaged in
making greenish glitters in the

hand

gomery, sharply What is it that

"The brown folk say that the

things-that the Green Diamond is
accursed.'
Montgomery started back invol'
unfairly. "Put it away" he plead

But the girl shook her head and

DAILY SHORT STORY

4 wild thought came to Montgomery
1 Why not steal the evil stone and
rid Penelope of whatever baleful
Influence the thing might have?
EVEN if one laughed at the strange
llegend, the psychological influence
of the story had evidently affected
Penelope. So in a few minutes he
secured the Green Diamond and ex-
cused himself.
In the moonlight without the
gem took on wonderful new SPAR
kle. 1t seemed to Montgomery that
| the thing was almost talking to
Thin, telling him that weird folk
tale of the east. He began to guess
it's value, to desire it for himself
and finally the thought came, why
| not keep it," Penelope would think
she had lost it. It would give him
the start he had always needed.
He would go away. He did not care
to stay for Penelope and the new
cottage.
| And then a soft cry filed the
| night and light feet battered. Mont
gomery clutched the Green Dia-
mond.
| Arthur called Penelope Nor
| ton. "Oh, can you ever forgive me,
dear? | don't know what possess
ed me. Come back and let us talk
| over the dear cottage plans.
| But Montgomery walked swiftly
on, clutching the Green Diamond,
| caring for naught but its baleful
dazzle and CLEAN. When she over
| took him they leaned over white
washed fence on the other side OF
which a bunch of hogs rooted and
| grunted in the moonlight. Mont
| gomery glared at the girl.
oh, Arthur, don't look that
way" she pleaded. Come back

| She grasped his hands in her ear
nestness, and something green and
brilliant spun through the moon
shine.
THE ring" cried Montgomery.
l"I've dropped the Green Diamond
of Deccan."
There was a rush on the part of
! the pinkish pigs, loud squealings,
and then quiet. The Green Dia-
