NEW ADMINISTRATION
IS INAUGURATED
TWO MAYORS OFFICIATE AT CITY
COUNCIL MEETING.
Retiring Mayor Registers Objection
to Minutes Of Special Meeting, Ac
count Apparent Discrepancy in
Fourth Ward Returns.


Yesterdays meeting Of the city
council marked the passing Of the
old and the installation Of the new
administrator. The meeting was
opened BY the retiring mayor, Benz.
Kowalski 1t was closed BY the new
| ly installed mayor, Arthur B. Cole
Besides Mr.. Kowalski, and the en-
tire membership of the old city coun-
Gil board, Mr.. Cole and the other
newly elected officials were present,
including City Marshal j. l.. CriXell,
the new City Secretary, Crisanto
Viliareal, city treasurer, Louis
Puente, city attorney, 7. a. Kinder,
and aldermen, J. A. Browne and Fl.
J. Kirk A large number Of citizens
were present also as spectators.
This was perhaps the first time in
the history Of Brownsville when the
city council was opened by one
mayor and closed by another
Hitherto, it has been the custom not
to count the municipal election re-
turns until the first regular meet
ing Of the city council after the
election, the city secretary being in
structed, after the results were de-
clared, to notify the newly elected
officers Of the election. The latter
theTeupon took the oath of office, and
the newly elected mayor would pre-
side at the next council meeting when
the newly elected aldermen also
would assume their Office. The hold
ing Of the special session and can
vassing Of the vote the day afetr
the election, and the taking Of the
oath Of office before the usual time,
caused the regular program to be
altered. lll.r
The only incident Of yesterday
meeting calculated to disturb its
harmony was when Mayor Kowalski
objected to the minutes of the called
meeting Of last Wednesday, when
the returns were counted, the retir-
ing mayor calling attention to the
apparent discrepancy in the returns
from the fourth ward in which the
poll list showed only 20S persons
voting, while the returns showed
that 213 votes had beeii Mounted.
The meeting was called to order by
Mayor Kowalski at the usual hour,
Aldermen More, Blackshear, Cobo-
lini, Cain, Thorn, Scott, Crixell and
Benavides being in their accustomed
seats.
Before the reading Of the minutes
Of the last meeting, s. A. Robertson,
the holder Of the street car franchise.
came before the council with the
pictures Of two cars which he wanted
to submit To the council. for use on
! the streets here One cars was AZ
| feet long and would seat 66 people.
The other was a much smaller car
with seating capacity for only 20
people. Mr.. Robertson said that he
was Of the opinion that the small
car would be inadequate.
AS there was no mention Of the
size Of car to be used in the franchise
the council left the matter with Mr..
Robertson.

SIGHT WELL WORTH SEEING.
Troupe of Trained Seals.

1922 Va oAAAS oCnkSs E@
There are few people in the u.
8. who have not at some time OF
other attended some big circus,
watching act after act until the big
group of seals came out, then ev.
cry body "sits up and takes notice. "
These animals from the northern
seas are very intelligent and learn
very quickly any and all tricks they
are called upon to perform. How
many patrons of the circus ever
got close enough to this denizen Of
the deep to know its real being.
Very few.
AL. G. Barnes has secured a
troupe of these animals for exhibi.
ton purposes and has SO arranged
the place of exhibition that one can
put his hand on their heads. Capt.
s. McFadden of Cape Nome, Alas
la, (for years overseer of the U. S.
government reindeer farm at that
place) gives a very interesting lee
ture, explaining the habits and
traits of seals.
1t must ibe remembered that a
seal caLnot live in fresh water and
sea water must be had in great
quantities or they will live but a
few weeks. They must also have
fish that are natives of the north
ern waters or none at all, and con-
sequently n can realize as he
looks upon these animals that they
are seeing something out of the or
binary.
This is only one of the special
features presented in the AL. G..
Barnes Show that will exhibit in
Scotland on Wednesday, Sept. 19.

vey the Gladstone News
to Gov. Marshall.

indianapolis, Ind, July 31.-Tuesday.
Aug. 90, probably will be a date on
which Governor Marshall will be Of
ficialiy notified of his nomination by
the democrats for vice president of the
United States. Bernard Korbly, demo-
cratic state chairman, called all the
democratic state candidates together foI
meeting at the headquarters of the
state committee yesterday afternoon for
a discussion of the time, the place and
all of the arrangements for the enter
tainment of the visitors who will come
to the city for that occasion.
1t was thought before the meeting
that Aug 90 probably would be chosen
as the date and that the notification
would take place at the Colosseum at
the state fair ground
Favor Big Event.
whether the notification should be
an elaborate affair or merely little
gathering is a question that has been
| in the minds OF Indiana democratic
| leaders, but the general impression has
been that the notification should be
made an important political event In
| the state Alton B. Parker of New York
I is chairman of the committee appoint
ed by the Baltimore convention to noti-
| ~ Governor Marshall of his nomfna-
| ton, and he will make the notifica-
ton speech. Governor Marshall will
respond with a speech that will be his
| keynote for the campaign.
1t was thought before the meeting
of candidates opened that 1t would be
| decided to make the event notable
| one in the Indiana campaign and that
| arrangements would be made for the
| entertainment of big crowd
Club Expected to Get Busy.
! 1t was expected that the details for
| the notification meeting and for the
| exercises of the day would be placed
In the hands OF the Indiana Democratic
club, which would then appoint COM
mittees to look after the various parts
of the work ana to raise money with
| which to meet the expense.
