One peculiar incident Of Tuesday
evenings council meeting was tho
sudden discovery OF the city fathers
that they have, for years. been taking
a lot of unnecessary trouble In recon
sidering matters. II has been the
custom to move that Rule rs. which
gives ~ hours after the council meet-
ing for reconsideration, be suspended,
and the motion to reconsider was then
acted upon and generally indefinitely
postponed.
Tuesday night, AID. Reinhardt want.
cd to put through a reconsideration OF
a matter just passed and did not have
the votes to suspend the rules. He
moved to reconsider anyway and,
after Charles Gadd chief clerk in the
city clerks office. had read the rule,
President link allowed the reconsid'
Grafton by a mere majority vote.
There was a long argument over tho
matter after the meeting and the par
liamentary point was put up TO As
sistant Corporation Counsel Atkinson,
who decided that Gadd and link were
right and that IL was not necessary to
suspend the rules except for the pur-
pose of cutting of the " hours iee'
way in filing reconsideration notices
after the meeting.

WASHINGTON, April IA clash
is imminent between the law depart
ment Of the government and the IN

that the commission has already form

idea Is TO have accountants 50 over
the books OF the railroad companies
and TO make note OF all cases OF dam
age claims for products injured or de-
stroyed The commission believes
that by such an inquiry they Will be
able 10 discover attractions OF the

The commission has consistently
maintained that no Roadway In en-
forcing the law can be made, II the
government adopts policy OF con-

ed In an alleged rebate instead OF deal

whether the act itself is illegal.
Attorney General Wickersham. In

IN clear that the acts complained or
were illegal. but explained that the
