and GRAY WAS
TAKEN Off HIS FEET
Council Neatly Massacres the Gray Plan and Adopts
Front Avenue Proposition.

Through q combine Of the coun-
Gilman from the Third, Fourth and
Vifth wards, the Gray city hall site
ocross the Northern Pacific tracks
was killed last night and the site
at the southwest corner of Wall
and Front selected.
1t was all done SO quickly and
smoothly that Captain John Gray
was taken off his feet, as 1t were,
by the organized force Of the oppo-
sition.
The way 1t came about was when
one of the two Gray ordinances
condemning the Second avenue site
came up Unexpectedly for a read
ing. There was one Gray ordinance
too many, the real one favored by
Captain Gray being held up until
the period of grace before it's final
passage had elapsed.
The reading of the unauthorized
Gray ordinance was like the wav.

the frank and turbulent Norseman.
This particular vikings name was
Rollo. OF his early history little
definite is known. We do know,
however, that he conquered north
ern France, and that in 912 he
was granted" according to the
French history possession of
Rouen and adjacent territory by
Charles the Simple, then king of
France. Thus Rollo became the
first duke of Normandy.
1t seems that in return for the
cession of territory (already con-
quered) Charles the Simple asked
Rollo to kiss his foot. Imagine how
shocked Chrales must have been
when Rollo thundered:
me Sc BIGOT!" (Not so, by
GodD
And imagine the further shock he
received when the soldier whom
Rollo had ordered to kiss the royal
foot in his stead, lifted the foot to
his lips, instead of bowling to the
foot, thus upsetting the royal per-
son and putting the whole Norman
force In an uproar.
The story has it that because of
this incident the court nicknamed
Rollo "Bigot."
Usage has reversed the meaning
of the word, and it is now applied
to persons more like Charles than
like the bluff viking Rollo. The
modern usage of the word came in
about the fifteenth century.
There are other stories about the
birth of the word "bigot," but this
one Is the most interesting.

board. From Washington moder-
ately low pressure extends between

Oddities in the News
All Over the World

When the police roll of honor of
Bayonne, N. j., is completed, high
up on it will be the name of Patrol
man Mervin Van Woeart.
He saw a man wheeling some
thing heavy on the meadows in
wheelbarrow and gave chase, but
couldn't catch him.
He then Investigated the wheel
barrow and found in it 200 pound
rail. He couldn't leave the aban-
doned loot, so he decided to take
It to headquarters, more than
mile away.
Leaving his club and revolver
with friend, he took up the han
dies and wheeled the rail all the
way to headquarters, winning from
Inspector Tierney the acknowledge
ment that he was the first Bayonne
policeman who had ever worked
hard.

ing of red flag in the face of the
historic bovine. Led by Lambert,
the six councilmen ilned up against
the Gray site fell onto the Gray
ordinances like ton of brick and
killed them one after the other.
To do this it was necessary to take
out of the files the regular Gray
ordinance that had been seasoning
there for over week and puncture
1t along with the other.
The vote by which the Gray site
was killed and the Front and Wall
site adopted consisted of Lambert,
Schiller, Mohr, Dalke, Nelson and
Belshaw for the Front and Wall
site, and Gray, Shaefer, Funk and
Cartwright for tie Gray site. The
ordinance ordering the site at
Front and Wall condemned was
read the first and second time, like
wise an ordinance appropriating

from the shock of a wholesale
holdup which began yesterday when
a band of burglars attempted to
blow open the vaults of the Mer-
