All Is Not Harmony and the Deadlock
Of the City Administration
Continues.

HUNNEWELL, Kan, May lO.-The
Hunnewell deadlock over the ques-
ton of whether the town shall be gov
erned by Its men--represented by the
male members of the common coun-
cil--or by its women-headed by Mrs.
Ella Wilson, still held fast this morn
ing.
Mrs. Wilson said the meeting of the
men council members last night was
Illegal. She ignored an invitation to
attend, as she said she would last
week, when she and the town records
met in feed store
The men made a show OF asserting
their power. They passed a few ex-
pense bills, which, however. lack the
mayors signature. But they refused
to confirm the mayors appointment OF
Mrs. w. e. Hilton as city clerk, or OF
Mrs. G. A. Osborn as city marshal
And so the municipal government is
at standstill. Mrs. Wilson says her
next meeting win be held next Mon
day.
