Futile attempts were made by the
city council last night to choose
water commissioner and city treas
urer. Because of the split at the
meeting Monday night, the Demo-
cratic members could not agree on
candidates last night. Alderman r.
A. Seaman did not appear 10 be In
with the regular Democrats, all be-
cause of Alderman John J. Clark's
attitude towards him, 1t Is declared.
The vote was we'll split on the choice
of a water commissioner. Two bal
lots were taken without avail to
choose a city treasurer, Each time
the vote was the same. Mr.. Seaman
refused to vote with the other DEM
ocrats. This will probably mean
that these elections will be deferred
for the remainder OF the winter,
until Mr.. Seaman returns from the
south, where he intends to go to-
morrow.
Louis Briggs, Edwin G. Fraser, l..
c. Dalton and Nels Christensen
were the nominees for water COM

we'll we're the nominees for city
treasurer. William D. voorhees, had
been mentioned as the strongest can
didate for water commissioner. It
was stated yesterday by prominent
Democrats that II he was nominated
his election was practically assured.
His name was not mentioned at the
meeting last night. Three Of the
four Democrats had their own favor
ties and the Republicans were set
tied on Louis Briggs.
Prior to the meeting the Demo
cratic aldermen, with the exception
Of Mr.. Seaman, conferred on the
lower floor of city hall. Alderman
Seaman and the two Republican
q members waited patiently for some
time in the council chamber. A lit
tie later the four Democrats held a
caucus In the jury room, but were
unable to reach an agreement.
When the meeting convened AL
derman Seaman made a motion to
go into the election of city officers
and proceed to elect a city treasurer.

Calvin was notified. He made an in
vestigation and reported details of
the attempt.
Mr.. Rubenatein's home at 138
Market street was entered about two
weeks ago and jewelry and money
to the value of about S400 was
taken.
A barking dog aroused William M.
Martin to prevent a robbery by two
boys about 100 o'clock this morn
ing. They attempted to break
through a door In the rear of his
pool room in the rear Of his grocery
store at 131 Madison avenue. He
awakened to see two boys running
away through rear path In the
direction of First street.
The police are using every means
of apprehending the burglars. 1t has
become evident to them that they are
pair of bold sneak thieves. To
some of the authorities it appears
that an epidemic OF robbery has ad-
vanced so far that boys are boldly
trying to initiate the work of the
older crooks.
