money in his fund yet but there
is that $4,000 for a fireboat IN
there and he has exceeded his al
lowance and spent $4,000 or
$4,000 of this fund in the bar
gain"
Fear Me, Says Fawcett.
"They are afraid of me-" con-
tinued the mayor, discussing the
attempt to get him out.
"The saloons and special inter-
ests know that what | tackle /
go through with and they can't use

Fern i'll long before the court
said it must be given; got the
transfer tangle outside of the
Traction line transfers fixed |;
put through the municipal dock
and that hurt the special interests
the worst: and then the anti
treating ordinance.
"The municipal dock is hurting
them yet and will continue and
they are after me. l will lose
the saloon vote solid in a recall
election and of course the special
interest crowd will be against me
DIS they were before. Whether l
will gain enough of the church
vote because of the anti-treating
ordinance to offset the saloon vote

defeat me but they cannot defeat
The anti-treating ordinance. We
are going to carry that and that
is all care for is to see it carried
and enforced"
The other commissioners were
looking serious but saying moth
ing this morning. They all ap-
pear to realize that the attempt
to recall Fawcett means very
probably a similar attempt on
them and some of them are mot
sure where they will get off If
a vote is called.

Mayor Fawcett, himself, pre-
tends not to care much about
himself in the controversy He
has been declaring for several
weeks that he would like to get
out Of the office but now that he
has been attacked it is a good
guess that he will fight to the
last ditch
II will make no fight for my
self but will make the fight of
my life to carry the anti-treat-
Ing ordinance at the election.
When it becomes a law by the
voters of the people and Is en-
forced l will feel that I have
done moro for humanity than any
other man will ever have a
chance to do" said the mayor
this morning
Stambarlgh's charges impute to
the mayor incompetence, a viola
ton of the civil service in the
charter by trying to dictate ap-
pointments, extravaganza and I'M
business like methods, especially
IN selecting vertical lift bridge,
usurpation of authority over 9TH
Ell commissioners, appointment of
relatives and political henchmen
to office to build uD a machine
and releasing the n. P. from the
Flyer viaduct.
The mayor laughed about the
charges this morning.
"Oh, Stambaugh is just a tool
of the saloons and special inter-
ests," said the mayor.
HE says I am extravagant.
Well there are three positions in
my department vacant. | have

wistfully.
Bob smoked slowly and
thoughtfully for a few minutes.
Then he threw his cigar into the
fire and rose.

said. Mrs. Dunmeade rose, too.

have been playing yours. But
unless 1 am sadly mistaken in
you, you will soon find it impos-
sible to play both your game and

The very Self, which you worship,
will forbid you to be the tool of

will not be the tool of the inter-
ests, you must join u.s."
Suppose you're right about me
and my wants, isn't it possible
that they may still play my game
without my playing theirs?''
She shook her head emphatical-
ly. You can't be so ignorant as
not to know that the interests

very existence depends upon that.

The mayor said he thought he
would name George Milton Savage

Dan Cornell. The mayor said he
did not care which one, or in fact
he was willing to name any man

club. He proposed A. e. Soult to
represent labor unions. If neces-
sary the mayor would personally
pay the expenses involved.
Opposition to selection of the

the cost of living has increased consider
ably, and so has the wages of the MEM
