A bitter exchange regarding the

leader of the democratic side he would
hereafter ignore Mr. Mann as repub

Mr.. Mann objected to the House con-

there were many rowing bands of Mexi-

the states of Mexico have recognized

this as negotiations for peace have be-

have submitted to the department of
the interior a basis for an agreement
on which the forces under him will
surrender. The principal concession
this rebel leader demands is the re-

the state of Vorelos, a Maderista in
cumbent and the substitution of q
man acceptable to the rebels. He also

CITY COUNCIL INSISTS ON
BRICK CHIMNEY ORDER

The city council is determined that
the ordinance requiring brick chin
neys in buildings within the city must
be strictly enforced, and Tuesday a
number of we'll known citizens were
hailed into court to answer to the
charge of violation of the ordinance
in question. None of those arrested
were opposed to taking every pre-
caution against fire, but is seems
there is a difference of opinion as to
what sort of a flue Is safe and what
is not.
None denied the advantages of a
brick chimney, but some of those be-
fore the court thought other forms of
chimneys were just as safe as brick,
If properly constructed. One reason
why SO many buildings are unproyid-
ed with brick fiues, is the cost, the
expense of the brick ana the work of
construction being almost prohibit
tive. Another argument presented
was that an improperly built brick
chimney was more dangerous than a
properly arranged stove pipe.
The insurance companies general
ly look upon brick chimneys as en-
bodying the best safety features, al
though other forms of material and
