Claims that Street Commits
sioner Does Not Attend
to the City's Work.

- 4
An attack on Street Commissioner d
c.. Gem, by Councilman Weishaupt,
featured the meeting of the city coun-
Gil last evening. Councilman Weis-
haupt charged Commissioner Gem
did not attend to his work, and paid
salary for the assistance of his son,
who, Weishaupt charged, did part of
the work the commissioner should do.
Mayor Zimmerman and President
Kennepohl both made spirited defens-
es of the mayors appointee.
The discussion began when Council
man Weishaupt asked for the recall
of an ordinance he presented some
time ago and which was turned down
by the city legal authorities on the
ground that it was illegal. 1t outlined
the duties of assistant street commits
sioner, and placed the care of all al.
leys and alley wagons in his charge.
Weishaupt stated his ordinance was
previously turned down on general
principles
the statement that the care of all al
leys should be turned over to the as.
sistant street commissioner, as out.
lined in his ordinance. He then charg-
ed Commissioner Gem with permit.
ting George Knollenberg, assistant
street commissioner, to do all his
work.
Mayor Zimmerman objected to
Councilman Weishaupt's statement
saying that he (Weishaupt) did not
know much about the street depart
| ment.
He pays his own boy for the work
he should do shouted Councilman
Weishaupt. maybe you didn't know
that. do" When Mr.. Dye was street
commissioner We had better work
done Dye wasn't afraid of work. He

his men and run the steam roller

doesn't work.
The mayor replied that Dyes ad

showed more money sauandered foI

that if l get into office again and a

MEXICO CITY, Sept 17.-Leaders
of the independent, catholic and revo.
lutionist political parties concertedly
served notice upon President Madero
today that they would oppose legisla
ton by congress establishing mill,
tary conscription throughout the re.
public.
However, as the opposition in the
chamber of deputies numbers only 80
out of a membership of 243. it was not
considered the Madero program could
be retarded.
Zapatists are again becoming active
around Cuernavac while ranch own
ers throughout Sonora are complain
ing of the raids of rebels and are de
manding more rurales.
There was an anti-Madero outbreak
in the streets here early today which
required the efforts of a dozen police
men to quell. A number of students
from the military academy marched
through the streets shouting Down
with Madero." and Viva Diaz''
When ordered to disperse the stu
dents refused to do SO. Instead they
armed themselves with clubs and
stones and attacked the police. Fol-
a time 1t looked as though it would
be necessary to fire upon the disturb
ers but the officers used their batons
with such effectiveness as to put the
youths to flight.

Hebrew calendar, days Of fasts and
feasts grouped in the closing weeks Of
September.
Rosh Hashanah, or the Jewish New

ing the ancient custom, the day Is
counted from sunset to sunset, so the
initial services Of the New Year Will be
observed in the temple at South Pryor
and Richardson streets tonight.
As the closing weeks Of December are
the holidays Of the Christian, so the
closing weeks Of September constitute
the holidays Of the Jew. Following the
New Year comes the most sacred of
all Jewish holy days, Yom Kippur. the
Day Of Atonement falling this year on
Saturday. September q. After the sol
emnity Of Yom Kippur comes the light
er and more joyous observance of Sue
Goth and Atzereth, four days beginning
Wednesday, September 25. and closing
Thursday. October 3.
Strangely like Succoth and Atzereths
which is really festival of the harvest
is the American Thanksgiving; all
though the American day never car

early Puritan days.

her husband on a tour of America. had
only words OF praise today for the United

She attributed this to the eternal hur-

"One sees many beautiful women on
the streets" she said, and know why
foreign men admire American women SC
much. Every one you see on the streets
is well dressed. and, as a rule, American
