cry. The explosion was touched cK by Alderman Virgin of the water com mittee asking for a little more time on considering the selection of lot for the long ordered Ire station. Alderman Saul went straight up in the air carrying the pitch of his voice with him. and delivered masterly ad- dress on the subject of inadequate ire protection in the cfty's Southern por- ton. He told about insurance rates. the long runs the fires companies had to make to get there. and also said that seldom was dwelling saved that caught fire in South Montgomery.
 After batting the subject about from alderman to alderman, 1t was de- cided to refer the matter to the fire committees and water committee com binei. to decide on q good location for the long ordered new station
 Inadvertently the city clerk read q petition asking for municipal help. In erecting a library for negroes. in which work 1t is understood that An drew Carnegie, the millionaire. vii, assist The reading of the petition suggested the idea that Mir. Carnegie wanted the negroes of the city to use the big library on Perry street In a moment q bunch of soions were on their feet waving wildly to catch the eye of the chair. but seeing how things were. and without recognizing anyone. Mir. 0unter eiuciiated the situation and the wave of horror subsided. 5 The council meeting was for all tho world like series of explosions. Ev- cry question brought up. seemed to mash somebody's toe and elegant rhet- orfc followed. A little petition was read from a local church. asking that the city allow the hanging of . cloth sign on Dexter avenue, across the pavement. for a few weeks, to fn- form the public of the revival services about to be held.
 e The City's Motto
 Alderman Johnson arose in orakori- cal wrath and attacked sign hang ing in general and nothing in partic- ular. What is the city's mottog" he demanded.
 Cook With Gas" responded Alder man Virgin. And the incident was closed.
 An ordinance was passed providing for the renovation Of the Recorders Court room. Also an ordinance provid- ing for q snitary sewer on Oak Street.

 MT Wfckersham was visfbIy touched by the enconiums. He told the word ing ef his ordor of appointment by President Taft, in which the executive declared that 'seposins special conn. dence in the patriotism, integrity and ability" of Mir, Wickersham. he had appointed him his Attorney General.
 This estimation of himself. Mir. Wick ershams declared. he hoped to proev had not been wrong.
 DiscussinR the sherman anti-trust law, Mir. Wickersham said:
 ' am perfectly we'll aware that there 10 sn uncertainty as to the precise scope and meaning of the law and should be the last to authorize the in- stitution of a criminal proceeding against men who. without Intent to vi- olate the law .have nevertheiess acted in technical contravention of an ex- treme and most drastic construction of that enactment. / But certain of the principles underlying that law are as- suredly now understood and Xany att tempt made at this time to combises in the form of trust or otherwise with the obvious nntention of restraining commerce among the States or of cre- ating q monopoly of important part of that commerce, would) justify and conn pei the government to use all or. any of the remedies given by law adequate to prevent the accomplishment of such purpose and to punish the attempt.
 Tt is to be hoped that the Supreme Court will authoritatively define the full scope and effect of the antitrust law and tfiatif far reaching construc- tion should be given to 1t by that court. Congress may so amend the act as to exempt from it's provisions the ordfna- ry agreements which are the neces- sary result of healthy business condi- tfons.
