COUNCILMAN FAIL
TO GET TOGETHER.

1t was evident last night that the
time for reaching q compromise on the
sections relating to the sale of liquor
in the new license bill had not come,
as no advance towards that desidera-
tum was made. Members of the lower
board who had insisted upon adding
one hundred dollars to the tax here
tofore imposed upon dealers in liq-
uors refused to recede. and the spec
ial meeting of Council did not change
the situation which brought about the
deadlock last week.
The members of the conference
committee of the Common Council
declined the terms Of compromise Of
fered by a similar committee from
the Aldermen, who proposed, first,
that twenty-five dollars be added this
year and the same amount during the
next three years until the license tax
shall have reached the sum of two
hundred and fifty dollars. Another
suggestion that the license tax be
placed at two hundred dol
lars this year and two hundred
and fifty dollars in 1914 was also re.
jected. Hence the committees re-
ported that no agreement rad been
reached.
Most of the time of the bower beard
was consumed in debating points OF
order and parliamentary tactics, and
it was late before anything tangible
resulted, when resolution was
adopted by the lower board which
makes the president of the Common
Council and the president of the
Board of Aldermen a committee OF
conference, and should they reacf
any agreement another special meet
ing of Council will be held next Fri
day night.
The issue which has been raised b!
the divergence of opinion between
the Common Council and the Board o
Aldermen is the principal theme o.
conversation among all classes of thu
community. The standpatters ar
being applauded by many, while
equally as many more had hopet
somebody woua recede and an under
standing be reached last night.
Like other deadlocks which hav
occurred in Council in recent years
the matter will finally be adjusted b.
both parties relaxing after sutficlen
time shall have elapsed to enabl
both camps to realize that they hav
been elected to work in harmony an
for the city's interests.

She's an interesting. little thing, is LII.
Born over a grocers shop in Lon

pretty face and her quick wit have made
her the principal girl of the company
at the Pandora Theater. She's had ad-
mirers by the score, but she's kept
straight and now comes the big mo-
ment in her life-a real lord asks her

and Lii likes him-more than a bit
but she tells him the story of her strus-
giles and sends him away-for his man.

for This Week.

one of the most pretentious produc-
tions at popular prices this season is
KIint & Cazzolo's production of Rob
ert Blossoms Indian play, where the

and pronounced it to be his best indian
Interpretation.
The story which is familiar to great
many readers, as well as the theater-
goines public, deals with one OF those
delicate questions which so often arise
I'm our great and glorious West. The
marriage between the Indian and
white, and brings ou tthe indomintable
courage of the original Americans.
When the Indian gives I'D his beloved
he does II with the fullness of his heart
and with the hopeful knowledge that he
is doing it for the best. Mr.. Edeson
gives a little different version of the
Indian in Where the Trail Divides
than in his former play. for he delves
further into his innermost soul. and
the high esteem in which he holds the
red man. is true picture of his inner
most courage and life.
Earl S. Ross heads the cast that Will
