CHIEF GRANT FAVORS 1T

When Mayor Samuel c. Park, at last
nights meeting Of the city conimls'
sioners, granted tho privilege of the
floor TO Attorney William Newton,
police court practitioner, in order That
he might voice his protest as citizen
and as the representative OF twenty
five roomiug house keepers Of the city
to the passage by the commission OF the
hotel aud boarding. and roomlng house
ordinances. Newton began 81 bitter ar
raigument of the city police force IN
general and Chief B. r, Grant in par
ticular, which finally took such n turn
that Judge William II. King, who was
present, arose and protested against
Newton being allowed TO proceed.
Mayor Park warned Newton that he
must either cease his personalities aud
talk to the point in reference to The
ordinance in question, or yield the
floor. A profuse apology was the
answer TO the mayor.
The ordinance to which Newton par
ticularly objected was recently drawn
at tho suggestion of Chief Grant, who
complained to the commissioners that
he was to a large extent powerless to
proceed against rooming houses of the
city, where it might be suspected that
undesirable people were being allowed
to rent rooms

Hark! Prom the grave. or rather from the tomb of the national capl- tol at Washington comes d reminder of the days when Geronimo ranged the desert and cast terror into tn" hearts of our people.
 Representative Palmer of Penn sylvania says that some of his con- stituents are deeply interested in the proposed transfer of the Apaches from Fort Sill to a point in Arizona. He intimatcd strongly that he did not think the remnant of Geronimo's famous band and their families are well treated in Oklahoma.
 Representative Stephens took i'm mediate exception. These Apache Indians live within fifty miles of my home" he said. They are not pri- soners of war: as charged. although they are under the surveillance of the military branch of the govern mcnt. They are good Indians and l wish we had more of them
 Mir Stephens insisted that the In dians are being well treated. In this he was backed up by Repre- sentative Ferris.
