A E.atharad Beauty.

The quesal Of Guatemala is consid-
cred the most beautiful bird in the
world. Its plumsge vies with the rain
bow and shines with a metallic luster.
Until within the last few years it was
unknown TO science, mainly owing to
the fact that It is a hermit among the
feathered creatures. delighting In the
silence of high attitudes. II dwells on
mountain heights above 1000 feet in
elevation. The quezal was the royal
bird Of the Aztecs, and its plumes were
used to decorate the headdresses and
clocks Of the kings Of that land. Its
breast is a brilliant scarlet, while its
green tail attains a length of three feet
II is about the size Of the common
pigeon. 1t nests in holes in rotten trees
which it enlarges with its bill. so as to
make a roomy and comfortable resi-
dence. The young are Matched totally
devoid Of feathers.

RESENT
CONTINGENT
FUND TALK
Police Commission Answers
Mr.. White Through
Solicitors Opinion
BOARD WILL NOT
MAKE ACCOUNTING

Police Commissioners Jones and
Bowers did not take kindly today to
the remarks made by Councilman
White, Of the Sixth ward, chairman
Of the Police Committee, at the meet
ing of City Council last night Mr..
White wanted to know whether a
reply had been received to the COM
munication sent to Council recently
sent TO Chief Of Police Black, re-
uuesting that an itomized bill of how
the money and the contingent fund
furnished the department is spent.
Councilman Kane, OF the Fourth
ward, replied that the law did not
compel the Police Commission to pre-
sent such a statement. There was
no further discussion on the sub
ject.
Police Commissioner Bowers said
today that the law allowed the Po-
lice Department $1,000 a year for
contingent purposes and not more
than $500 Of this had been used year
" for a number Of years. Both he
and Mr.. Jones seemed TO think that
Mr.. White was unfair 10 the chief OF
police. because he has been insisting
for some time on an itemized bill OF
how the department spent its money.
The communication received from
Council. they said was considered at
the netting of the Police Commission
and the reason It was not answered
was because City Solicitor Hastings
in October pf last year gave the
board an opinion on the subject which
was sent to Council at that time
The chief Of police had nothing what
ever to do with the communication
they said.
Mr.. Jones submits the following
letter which the board received from
City Solicitor Hastings relative to
the matter:
"The inquiry concerning which you
request my opinion / understand 70
be the result Of a request from the
City Council that the Board of Police
Commissioners furnish to Council an
itemized statement of the money
spent by the Commission out OF it'
contingent fund Section II of thf
Act creating the Board Of Police
Commissioners provides as follows:
''The said Board of Police Com
rnissioners shall be allowed an annua
contingent fund of one thousand dol
lars to conduct detective secret ser
vice or other work pertaining TO th'
police department, when in theii
Judgment It is necessary.
1T would seem 10 have been th'
Intention of the Legislature TO giv'
70 the Board of Police Commissioner
full discretion in eXpending this sun
Of one thousand dollars, and I under
stand Il has been the practice of tn
Commission 10 expend this none,
without consulting Council or with
out accounting to Council for tn
money so expended
'I find that Il is provided ths
Council shall appoint a committee a
certain times during the year to ex
anime the accounts of other depart
ments of the city though there seem
to be no such provision anywhere rel
alive to the contingent fund appro
priated to the use of the police de
psrtment."

Day SesS'on--VFeak Closing.

Reports Of the foreign situation de-

could have no other than a depressing

Irregular. with q tendency to lower

clines, except in q few issues. Tho prsn-
cipaI subject discussed was the football

comparatively small and in the com
mission houses there was practically
nothing doing. After the opening con-
siderable pressure was shown. but the
market recovered, and for most OF the
session it was simply q dragging affair.
with sentiment decidedly bsartsh. The
news Of the day lacked feature except
the rumor that S1.25OOO0 In gold has
been engaged at Berlin for this country.
The rumor, however, ives not con-
frmed, 20 the effect Of the report was
not In evidence The bank statement
did not attract any special attention.
as the loss of the S2.7oo.O0O In cash
was practically what had been ex-
pected. The reduction in the loan 40
count told the story Of a contraction
In stock market operations and en-
phasiEed the fact that but slight en-
enlargement. II any, has been given by
the bankers to Wall Street speculation.
With the heavy disbursements which
will be coming along In December, ire
spective Of gold importations, there Is
little prospect of any falling off in the
call money rate. While call money may
not advance to the point of excessive
tightness, it will be sufficiently firm TO
have a restraining influence on specula-
tive movements.

Bisbee daily review., 1912-11-20

The final resul; of the presidential election in the state Of California has not yet been determined. The official count has been made of the entire state except in the county of Los An geIes where the democrats have taken the count into court on charges of fraud committed by the Bull Moose Taking the counts of the election boards in Los Angeles as the true re- suit gives Roosevelt a majority of 119. However. th's does not mean that Roosevelt will get the entire electoral vote of that state. It is conceded that three or four Of the democratic cleo tor candidates run ahead Of their tick ct and are elected. It is believed that the democrats of California could have won a decisive victory had they boldly fought for victory on the prin ciples announced in the Baltimore
 platform, but instead of that they were trimming" through the entire campaign in efforts to win votes for in, dividual candidates for congress and other offices.
