The City Council.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
were in regular session last Tuesday
night and passed an ordinance provid-
ing for the use of septic tanks in the
city as follows: Tanks to be of brick
and cement not less than six feet by six
and seven feet deep with partition wall
in center. Plans and specifications must
be filed with the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen for permit. A septic tank
for the City School was ordered to be
made at once under the provisions of
the ordinance This question has been
under adyisement in Union City for
several years and it has been investi-
gated and is Endorsed as a sanitary sys-
tenn and a very excellent substitute for
sewerage. 1t is probable that a num-
Der of these tanks will be put in at
once, furnishing practical test.

The Gem.

The Gem moving picture house will
be open for business and will give its
first performance next Saturday after
noon. Mr.. Walter Morris, the pro-
prietor and manager, has fitted up the
building in comfortable and attractive
style. The canvas is in front and the
seats are elevated from the rear, so that
a front seat may be had near the en-
trance. The danger of fire is also large
ly eliminated by having the electric film
machine at the rear. The crowds can
thus pass out without having to APP
proach the danger if the machine should
burn out
The Gem is large and comfortably
seated, and Mr.. Morris is to have an at
tractive film service with change every
night. There will be no vaudeville, but
the illustrated pictures will be ac-
companied with songs by Miss Morris,
thus making the place of amusement
one of deserving popularity.

melted. the police declare. by walking
delegates of II garment makers union
who descended upon the tailoring estab-
lishment of Jacob Greenfield in East I'd

The alleged walking delegates. accom-
panied by a half hundred striking gar
ment workers, several OF whom are said
to have been former employees of Green
field. broke into the workrooms of the
establishment. Upon refusal of those at
work to join them in their strike they
proceeded TO wreck the place.
Jacob Greenfield and Wolf Greenfield a
brother employed as foreman. attempted
to prevent the wholesale destruction of
the shop. A melee ensued, in which clubs.
shears and pressing irons we're freely
used.
A call for the police brought out the re-
serves. The rioters dispersed.
The police found Samuel Kann, said to
be one of the strikers, lying unconscious
with a broken skull. Jacob and Wolf
Greenfield and Baego Cassello an en-
ploye. were also IN the wreckage badly

VETO MESSAGE REFERRED.
House Sends It to Census Committee
for Consideration.

On motion of Representative Crumpack-

the Presidents message vetoing the CEN
sus bill back to the committee on the
census Representative Gillette of Mas
sachusetts asked Mr.. Crumpacker why
this course Of action was taken. and the
latter replied that there were number
of precedents. and that the committee on
the census wanted time to consider the
Presidents objection to the bill, so that
it might, if considered advisable, make
recommended tions to the House concern
ing the wisdom of passing or not passing
the bill over the Presidents veto.
Representative Parsons of New York
wanted to dispose of the whole matter
then and there, and tried to secure recog-
milton for that purpose but was ruled out
of order. The vote to refer the MESA ge
back to the committee on census was
unanimous.

ACTION EARLY NEXT WEEK
Consolidated Draft to Take Place of
q House Measure.
SOME OF THE PROPOSITIONS
Desire Is to Secure Law at Present
Session-May Strike a
Snag.

If present indications are accurate a
bill will be introduced in the Senate next
week. perhaps Monday or Tuesday. with
the view of bringing to a close the fight
in Congress for gas legislation for the
District of Columbia.
The measure which will be introduced
by member OF the District committee,
will be in the nature of compromise to
which all parties can subscribe. It will
include at least three Of the measures on
the subject Of gas pending In Congress
that is, for the regulation of price, the
control of the increase of capital by the
gas companies and a pressure require
ment 1t is likely also that it will en-
brace a provision on the subject Of mon
oxide which is now before the House
District committee. The consolidated bill
will be substituted in the Senate for one
OF the House bills On some one of the
particular phases Of the question. Three
of the House bills are pending in the
Senate. The plan will then be to in
definitely postpone action on the other
House bills.
Agree on Propositions.
Since the hearing before the Senate Dis
trict committee yesterday 1t is learned
that the members practically agree upon
the following propositions, which will be
included in the bill:
First, a reduction in the price of gas
from 81 to 50 cents at once.
Second, the fixing Of a maximum divi-
dend on stock, probably about per cent.
and the adoption Of a sliding scale OF
prices and dividends, based on the plan
in Boston, by which whenever there is
in, ha Ixj5n dS
Of the companies above the maximum
fixed by law there snail be reduction of
cents In the price of gas.
Third, the creation OF a commission or
tribunal which shall be authorized to
make d cash valuation of the plants, in
conformity with recent decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United States, and
the granting of permission for an in
crease of the capital of the companies to
the figures fixed by the valuation.
Fourth, a fixed requirement as to the
pressure of gas, which is yet to be -etl-
nitely decided.
Subject of Monoxide.
The District committee, is disposed to
await the conclusion of the House with
regard to the subject of limiting monoXide
in the gas before embodying that propo-
sition in its bill However, 1t may decide
to go ahead on its own hook.
1t is the intention to pass the bill at this
session of Congress, although the mem
bers of the committee realize that it may
strike a snag and be held over until after
March 4.
The proposed bill is the result not only
of the deliberations of the Senate District
committee, but Of conferences between
Senator Gallinger, chairman of the COM
mittee, and Senator Long, chairman OF
the subcommittee on public utilities and
members Of the District committee of the
House Representative Sims of Ten
nessee is in favor of a consolidated bill
and has been considering the proposition
to draft one. Chairman Smith of the
House committee also looks with favor on
this plan.

DEFICIENCY FUND
Members See No Reason to Keep
Facts From Public.
NO MENACE TO DIPLOMACY
Besides, There Are Some Military
Junkets That Make Interesting
Reading, Senators Say.

President Roosevelt's request that the
reply Of the Secretary of the Treasury to
the Foraker resolution calling for an
itemized statement of expenditures made
from the war deficiency fund Of 1899 be
considered confidential may be ignored
by the Senate Since the document has
been reposing in the files Of the COM
mittee on military affairs 1t has been ex-
amined by a number Of senators who say
they are not impressed with the impor-
information 1t contains.
The reason given by President Roose-
welt for the request that the information
should be kept as executive matter was
that the war fund had been used to send
military agents into foreign countries to
gather material for the secret use of this
government.
Details Kept Back.
While it is said that this is true in re-
gard to some expenditures, certain sena-
tors have declared that the report so hides
the details connected with such expendi-
lures that the publication of the report
could not result in any diplomatic es-
arrangements with other governments.
The resolution bringing the statement
to the Senate was introduced by Mr.. For
aker after he learned that the detectives
used in working on the Brownsville case
had been paid from the war deficiency
fund IT is declared by several senators
who have examined the treasury state
ment that the information sent in shows
that the fund had been used as "a finan-
cial junk heap"
Paid for "Junkets."
1t Is asserted that the statement shows
that several 'junkets'' were paid for from
this fund. and that in certain instances
the fund was used to pay for the enter
tainment OF military visitors from other
countries.
Although number of senators are dis
posed to make the document public it Is
known that such action would be opposed
by others. and therefore q motion to print
the statement as public document may
be accompanied by sharp and even acri-
monous debate.
