NO QUORUM AT ADJOURNED
MEETING.

Because of the failure of q quorum
the adjuOrned session of the city cOun
Gil was not held yesterday afternoon at
o'clock. to which time the meeting had
been adjourned from Monday, principal
ly for the purpose of taking some action
on the tax levy, which has been hanging
fire for some time. At 4.45 o'clock the
only members Of the council present were
Mayor Cole and Aldermen Cain and
Benavides. AS there were no indica
tions that other councilmen would ap
pear, it was decided that no meeting
could be held.
The council, sitting as hearing body

0 clock with the following members Of
the council present: Mayor Cole. Alder
men Kirk. Cain, Benavides. Thorn and
Coboini. All left the council chamber
it being understood they were to return
for the adjourned meeting Of council at

ception Of Mayor Cole and Aldermen

ing George McConigle. f. G. Pierce and
r. w. Seabury, were present for the pur-
pose of passing the tax levy in order
that the progress of the schools might
not be hindered. However, they had no
opportunity to urge their reasons.
1t is now probable that the matter
will be taken up at the regular meet

ELECTION CASES
CLOSED YESTERDAY
SEVEN HOURS ALLOWED TO-DAY
FOR FINAL ARGUMENT-CO
WANTS AUTHORITIES CITED ON
VARIOUS POINTS OF LAW.
LAST DAY OF HEARING CONSUM
ED BY TESTIMONY IN REBUT
tai OF ATTACKS BY RESPONDl
ENT ON CERTAIN VOTES.

If the readers of The Herald are fond
Of oatory and argument they will
have an opportunity to have their desire
satiated if they attend tOday's session
of the district court. 1t has been
agreed that the attorneys in the election
cases will have seven hours in which to
argue their case. The attorneys for the
state will have thre hours, the respon-
dent three hours and the relator one
hour.
The state and rclator yesterday after
noon at three O'Clock rested their case
1t was at first suggested by the attor
neys for the respondent that the case
be submitted without argument, unless
the court decided to the contrary.
The court ruled that, as there were
some matters Of law, OH which he would
like to have the attorneys cite the au
thorities, the case should be argued. The
attorneys then went in chambers and
decided upon the above mentioned appor
tiOnment of time.
TIL days testimony was all in rebut
important was not in the least interest
ing.
Probably the most interesting testi
mony of the day was that of County
Treasurer Edgar L. Hicks.
Mr.. Hicks testified that he had paid
city taxes for the. year 1911. Mr.. Hicks
said that he did not remember whether
he had been assessed or had made a
voluntary rendition Of his property. The
witness said that he did not make the
statement that he lived outside Of the
city limits, but that he had said that he
was not sure whether or not he lived
in or out of the limits and that he did
not know where the city lmts were. Elev
en- other witnesses were examined with
reference to alleged nonresidencc of vOt
ers.
The case which was rested yesterday
has several claims to unusual diStinc
ton 1t is the first case of its kind
ever tried in the county. 1t is the long
est case in the history Of the district.
1t is the longest case ever participated
in by any fthe attorneys. 1he Steh
ographcr has filled 2f shorthand note
books and the documents offered in ev-
dence would equal probably another
book, had it been copied by the court re
porter. Mr.. Rosenthal, the stenographer,
estimates that it will take between 40
and 80 days to typewrite the notes and
that it woud probably fill 1000 type
written pages. In the neighborhood Of
1000 witnesses have been examined.
In order that the attorneys may fin
ish the arugment tomorrow the court
will open for the afternoon session at
one instead of two o'clock.

to the court yesterday afternoon in his
opinion the election was invalid
