The franchise to give Stone
Webster the right to cross the
bridge and build the tidefJat line
and which cuts the franchise tax
to one per cent. giving the COM
pany over $11 900 q year, is also
ready and will be given its first
reading Wednesday.
II had been amended from the
original agreement SO the city
will reduce the franchise tax for
only five years. THIS WILL
MEAN THAT THE CITY WILL
PAY AT LEAST 100000 AND
MORE IF THE CITY GROWS TO
GET STONE-WEBSTER TO
BUILD THE TIDEFLAT LINE.
Henry Rhodes thought that was
the best thing for tine pa,ple 10
do. He assumed that the city
with a municipal line could moi
get transfers and that the work.
ers on the flats would have tc
pay second fare.
George l.. Davis of Bismarck
said the city should go into mu.
nicipal ownership and this was
the opportunity.
E. X. Rogers punctured the as
sumption of the advocates of the
Stone-Webster line that transfers
would not be given, declaring,
"All that is needed is for you
gentlemen of the commission to
stiffen up your backbones and
stay with the company until II
comes through" And he showed
how 1t could be done by bringing
them to time under present fran
chises.
G. F. Wilt, attorney for Car
stems, was for Stone Webster ana
said 1t was socialism against the
Stone-Webster line and the inter-
ests of the people.
Lorenzo Dow pointed out plen-
ty of methods for forcing trans
fers to municipal line from the
general city lines and urged the
municipal line.
p. H. Hebb said the same men
who were writing letters for the
papers from the Commercial club
now boosting for the Stone-Web-
ster deal a few months ago had
sent one to the Commercial club
saying they had failed and that
Stone-Webster would do nothing
"It was the determination oi
the city to 60 into municipal own
ership that brought them, said
Hebb and he said the company
would build the line without con-
cessions to avoid municipal own
ership II the commissioners would
only force them to It.
George II. Petty opposed let
ting Stone-Webster across the
bridge at all.
G. H. Dow declared the COM
pany has been scheming Tor years
to get over the bridge with ita
interurban and declared he knows
for he worked for them for years.

TIDEFLAT CAR
LINE ISSUE UP
TO CITIZENS

The people will have chance to vote December
80 on the municipal tideflat carine.
The tricky trio at the city hall was Jared apart
long enough this morning to get the ordinance passed
and the election called after council chamber full of
citizens had debated the matter.
Lawson stood pat for Stone Webster and refused
to vote to allow the people chance to express them
selves.
He first recommended that if the bond ordinance
be put up then proposition to give franchise to
Stone Webster also be put up Judge Stiles said this
could not be put into the municipal ownership ordi
nance, so Lawson opposed it.
Mills moved to reconsider but neither Woods
nor Lawson would second the motion so as to call the
election. Freeland who was presiding seconded and

and at it's close, it was understood
that Speyer & Co. had compromised
it's demand that one or both of the So
called Yoakum receivers be ousted
and Speyer man substituted. 1t
was accepted that both the Yoakum
and the Speyer sides had agreed to
act in harmony on the plan of ask
ing the court merely for the appoint
ment of a third receiver, friendly to

A FroIiC

How many people ever stop to con-
slider that this is exactly what is being
done when ever ball games and all
other amusements that can be sched-
uled for that day are advertised for
Decoration Day? By national enact
ment May 80 has been set aside as
sacred to the memory of the soldiers
who offered their lives in defense of
our nation, without which sacrifice we
could not today proudly boast the
best and fairest country which the
sun shines upon. What would we
say, nay what would we DO if a gay
party of pleasure seekers should pre-
pose to make merry at the anniversary
of the death of one of our dearest
loved ones? And yet there are thou
sands whose hearts are made to ache
each year because this thing is done.
And it does not right the wrong to say
that it is done thoughtlessly for in
many, If not all cases, this day is
chosen because of the greed of gain,
for the exploitation of our noble dead.
shame upon us that such an in
human, indecent thing is permitted
among us who call ourselves q
civilized people! Is it true that the
sign of the dollar has so obscured our
national horizon as to shut out the
light of veneration and gratitude from
oul restricted vision? Is it asking
too much of US when we are requested
to Danish the pursuit of pleasure for
one day in the year In honor of those
noble men who are responding to the
last call of "TAPS" at the terrible
rate of five score each day? Oar Sab
baths have long since been unhal-
lowed, not because we have no laws
forbidding it but because our executives
miserably fail to regard as binding
their oaths of office. Shall a mort
bund public conscience permit the
fragrant disrespect that characterizes
she present attitude of some toward the
saviors of our nation? It is popular
opinion that m0ulds legiSia ton.
Wn At shall be our attitude on this
question?

TRAIL DYNAMITE PAY
Progress of the Trial of Wood, At
teaux and Collins.


Boston, June 4.-Evidence intend
ed to connect William M. Wood, presi-
dent of the American Wooden COM
pany, and Frederick E. Atteaux di-
rectly with the alleged plot to plant
dynamite in the houses of textile
strikers at Lawrence was introduced
by the state at the trial of Wood, At
teaux and Dennis J. Collins.
District Attorney Pelletier called to
the stand Arthur Pira, a taxicab
chauffeur, who testified that the
evening of Jan. 10, 1912, he drove a
man resembling Atteaux from the
Boston residence of Wood to Franklin
and Washington streets, thence to a
saloon and back to Franklin street.
John j. Breen, who said Atteau&
had paid him $500 to plant the dyna-
mite, had told of two meetings Jan.
- with Atteaux at Washington and
Franklin streets, at the second Of
which, he said, Atteaux dropped a
package containing $780, Pira was
unable to swear Atteaux was his pas
senger. He was positive, however,
that his passenger dropped no pack
age.
