WANT EXPERT To
CHECK Up CITY
OFFICIALS

All city officials are to be IN
vestigated now.
The council last night ordered
the commissioner to call for bids
for exporting the city books.
When the bids are received 1t Is
doubtful whether they will be ac-
|cepted. If the bid Is low the
council will be afraid the fellow is
not competent. III 1t is high there
will not be money enough to pay
the bill.
Storekeeper Under Bond.
In the meantime the council
last night ordered Storekeeper
Poyns put under bond. 1t devef-
oped last week that Poyns, who Is
one of the political clique in the
city hall, who has been afte-
Lauzon, was himself guilty of IL
Irregularities. He had sold lamps
and got no money for them. When
he heard he was to be checked UP
he hustled and had the money
sent in.
Mayor Linck has not suspended
him as he is one of the men who
is furnishing evidence against
Lauzon.
The council also decided last
night to compel the payment of all
fees for boiler inspection to De
paid direct to the treasurer In
stead OF to the boiler inspector.
Additional red tape will be pro-
vided to protect the city treasurer.

Now THE STORM IS ONT seems
that Roosevelt's attempt to bullirag
Congress has met with inglorious de-
feat. He sent in message, Monday.
to the House in which he attempted
to explain and justify the charge he
had made in his annual message that
certain members of Congress were
afraid to be investigated by the
secret service. His reference were
specifically to Towney of Minnesota,
Smith of Iowa, Sherley (D.) of Ken
tuckey, and Fitzgerald O). of New
York, and served only to arouse a
storm of laughter in House and lobby.
An attempt to amend q motion to
refer the message to a committee was
lost and the original motion carried.
The preparation of their report will
doubtless be delightful season for
carving" in which it will require
great strength to penetrate a tough
hide, for which due provision will be
made.
