K0RTE MAY NOT
LAND POSITION
Story That He Helped Defeat Aid.
Trevor Lessons Chances of Being
Named Assistant Assessor.

The appointment OF Aid. +. j.
Korte. OF the Seventeenth ward, as
assistant assessor to succeed A. Bur
dette Evans, which was supposed TO
be certain, has been delayed and may
be entirely upset by stories that Korte
was partially responsible for the de-
feat OF Aid. Walter Trevor in the re.
cent election. Trevor's friends have
circulated the story persistently since
election, and Trevor himself has
taken a hand in opposing Korte's ap-
pointment
Mayor Breitmeyer, at whose request
Korte was preferred over Ed. Saund'
ers for the position of assistant as
SCISSOR, declared. Thursday morning,
that he had washed his hands or the
whole matter.
III II is true that Korte helped to
defeat so good a man as Aid. Trevor,
he does not deserve any sympathy,
said the mayer. Il do not know that
the stories are true, but If they are,
1t puts an altogether different aspect
on the matter"
There is an air OF uncertainty IN
the assessors Office. A meeting was
scheduled TO be held Wednesday,
when II was intended that the ap-
pointment should be made, but the
meeting was not held Thursday morn
ing, Assessor Marx was not there.
Marx is directly the mayors APP
pcintee, and was naturally slated to
help carry out the mayors wishes
In appointing Korte. Assessor Plass'
first choice last SUMMER, when Evans
announced that he would run for cir
cult court commissioner In the fall,
was Ed. Saunders. then in the city
clerks office. He acceded TO the
mayors wishes. however, in holding
the job for Korte, and Saunders was
given the position OF chief clerk. IN
which he renders such valuable SER
vice that he will be retained.
The stories that Korte had been
partially to blame for the victory OF
Ed. Keusch, Democrat. over Aid. Ire
vor have been current ever since
election Korte has Indignantly de-
MED them but they seem 10 have
gained credence in quarters where
they are making trouble.

Mr.. MAYOR, WHAT
A JOKER YOU ARE!
His Honor, Without Smile, Says
He'll Again Ask Council To Adopt
Webster Ordinance.

The success OF the Tayler plan in
Cleveland, as shown at the close Of
the trial period. convinces me more
strongly than ever that the Webster
ordinance was the best proposition
ever made for the settlement OF the
street railway question here" said
Mayor Breitmeyer, Thursday.
In Cleveland, the fare is three
cents, with one cent extra for trans
fers, OF which there were about 40
per cent on the number OF fares. The
Webster plan, starting at eight-for-a-
quarter and subject 10 revision every
six months. would soon have arrived
at the point at which the company
could realize just profit, and would
have given the people cheap fares i'm
mediately. | think the council was
extremely unwise that IL did not &C
cept the railroad company's offer to
pay the expense Of valuation on con.
dition that the cost be added to the
valuation figures. That would have
cost the city only the interest on the
amount.
Il shall send the common council a
communication, recommending that
this still be done, and the Webster
ordinance put into effect. or course
this cannot be done within my admin
istration. but think it would be the
best thing for the city.
Whenever you come to enforce the
Hally ordinance and order the COM
pany to adopt three-cent fares or va
cate the streets, you are apt TO run
into the doctrine OF perpetual fran
chises, and the question will yot be
settled for years"

DePASQUALI AND ORCHESTRA
HEARD BY SLIM AUDIENCE

Before a slim audience in the most
unmusical and inartistic setting of t1e
barn-like Light Guard armory, the
Cincinnati Symphony orchestra. con
Quoted by Leopold Stokovsky. and
Madame Bernice James de Pasquall,
prima donna, gave a very creditab'e
and artistic performance Wednesday
evening. The Cincinnati orchestra

evidence OF it's youth in certain rough
nesses and crudities, but there Is also
In 1t the virtue of youth--enthusiasm

conductor who shows tendency To
neutrality-suspicious.. though in the
main master of the art.
Madame de Pasquali appeared to
best advantage In her first number
from Traviata, the famous "A fors a
lui." The more simple English songs
which she chose for her second mum
Der did not seem adapted to the vocal
pyrctechnics introduced by the
singer.
The most impressive number rem
dered by the orchestra was the Pa
thetique" of Tschaikowsky which was
played with art and understanding.
The "Oberon" overture and the pre-
lude and "Liebestod" from Tristan
which made up the remainder of the
program, were also well interpreted.

BARRED FROM HOME BY
QUARANTINE; LOSES SUIT
Robert Marshall Tries To Collect For
Furniture Ruined BY Disinfec-
tant. But Sues Wrong Party.

Wouldn't you be angry If. on your
return from a visit, you should find
that, during your absence, boy, al.
most a stranger, seriously i'll with
typhoid fever, had been dumped into
one of your best beds: that quar-
antine had been established. and
that you were not permitted to enter
your own domicile.
This was the situation which re-
suited in Robert Marshall, of No. 101
Cedar-st., in old Delray, and Mrs. Du-
rocher, who runs grocery in that
neighborhood, being arrayed against
each other in Justice Ott's court,
Thursday morning.
Ross Clapper, boy of II. who was
employed by Mrs. Durocher, was
taken Ill, and. his condition becoming
serious, an effort was made to get
him into a hospital, but they were all
lilled. Mrs. Durocher did not want TO
keep him, as it would mean the clos
ing of her business, and the boys
sister, Mrs. Mccoy, who boarded in
the Marshall home, was appealed TO.
She was so sure the Marshalls would
take him in that the boy was removed
without further delay 1t happened
that the Marshalls were away at the
time. and they knew nothing of tho
occurrence until they reached home.
A doctor at once quarantined the
place. and Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall had
to live elsewhere for three weeks.
Marshall brought suit against Mrs.
Durocher for $175. claiming that the
disinfectant used had ruined the par
Tor furniture, spoiled the canned
fruit, discolored the brass beds and
that they had been obliged to buy
new clothes. Justice OFT gave a YER
dict in favor of the defendant. Her
sister, Mrs Mccoy. who is said to
be really responsible, is now q resi-
dent of Windsor.
