Line Amendment Out of
Order and Keeps Com
promise Line from
Hearing.
Harbor fGrabbers" Aban-
don Effort to Discontinue
City Line Before Any
Other Line is Ready
Hearing Called for May
II.

By the use of means that may be
characterized as justifiable deception,
OF by shorter and uglier word, just
a, one looks at it, the Common Coun-
ell was flimfIammed last night out OF
its purpose to send all the proposed
harbor lines to a hearing, both Mayor
Lees line, Which is the same as the
railroad line, and the so-called COM
promise line
The "grabbers' saved themselves
rom another defeat by violently re-
versing their effort to discontinue the
City line. before any new line is ready.
Ut had been concluded that the scan
dial attached to such a course, and the
jeopardy in which the legal rights of
the city would be placed were too
great
When the harbor line matters were
taken from the table, where they had
lain for two weeks. Chairman Tague
ments introduced a substitute resolu-
tion providing that a hearing shall be
held on May IL, upon the discontin-
uanee Of the existing city line and the
location of the Mayors line.
Alderman Mahoney, the minority of
the committee, moved as an amend
ment that the compromise line offered
by him at the last ueeting also go to
hearing. An overwhelming majority
! of the council was pledged to vote for
this program. Tague's motion was
carried.
'swhat has become of my amend
ment ?" asked Alderman Mahoney.
TT is out of ORDER replied Mayor
Lee.
do we understand that all harbor
lines may be heard under the resolu-
tion?" inquired Alderman Griffin.
"Anybody may speak in favor of any
1ine,'' replied Mayor Lee.
1t was by the use of the word
SPEAK that the Mayor fooled the AL
dermen-
The resolution offered by Alderman
Tague did not provide for a hearing
upon the compromise line.
The Mayors ruling and his SubSe-
quent remarks were characterized as
.audacious and even reckless by par
Hamentarians who assert that Ma
honeys amendment was in order and
entitled to consideration.

Numbering her body.
After an all night session, Is hours in

appearance of counsels.
When the judge and counsel were in
place Jordan was led into the court
room which was crowded to suffoca-
ton He took one glance at his faith
er and family and then turned away
his head. The jury then filed in and
took its place.
What is your verdict?" the clerk
of the court asked, and only the sobs
of Jordan's sisters broke the stiffness
until the foreman said: Guilty of
murder in the first degree"
After the verdict had been rendered
