himself had been ignored in the old
Council, by using the steam roller and
declaring Council adjourned until
next Tuesday night, without an aye
and nay vote. on Colonel Stover's
motion. The Democrats wanted to
known why he recess was taken. but
did not learn, Colonel Slower telling
them he did not think 1t had been the
custom to impart such information.
The Democrats first asked for an
aye and nay vote on the motion and
when this was refused, they called
for a division Of the vote. President
Benson declared the motion carried
and left his seat. He Immediately
retired to the Mayors Office where
the remaining Republican Council,
men, except Conner collected.
1t was rumored yesterday afternoon
that Councilman Conner was dissat-
isfied in that he had not been given
one Of the Offices by the caucus. He
wanted to name the coal oil inspector.
The Second ward Councilman was
promised the position of milk inspec-
tor, but this did not satisfy him. Last
night, after the Council routine bust
ness was transacted, on motion of
Colonel Slower, Council took a recess
for fifteen minutes. There we're sew
eral prominent members Of the Re-
| publican party I'm the room including
! Mayor Howell, and a conference then
ensued in the Mayors office with Con-
ner present. He was reasoned with
and told his ward would be taken care
of, but through It all remained OBJ
| durate. Despite this Il was not ex-
pected that he would vote with the
Democrats, the impression prevailing
at the time that he would vote a blank
ballot making the vote for the va
rious offices a tie, thereby keeping tbs
present officers In office until some
thing could be done TO straighten oui
the trouble.
