CITY COUNCIL AlEErs.

The city fathers met last Mon
day in the Commercial club rooms
with Mayor Pro TEN Gee in the
chair. and from 8 until the be-
witching hour of IL g. m. (good
morning) they. threshed and re-
threshed various problems affecting
the city's welfare, and all the people
had an inning for fair.
After the monthly accounts had
been passed upon, reports were
current of gambling and indiscrim-
mate liquor selling, and the board
instructed Clerk Shull to order the
marshals to suppress both.
A night light, for the purpose of
more quickly calling the night
marshal, was ordered erected on
the bandstand corner, SO that when
anyone rings for the marshal, the
telephone operator will at once put
on the marshal's switch, signifying
that he is wanted.
A petition headed by M. S.
Bragg, requesting the town to place
an arc light on DeBus' corner, was
laid on the table.
Fast driving also was tabooed by
the town dads, and an ordinance
assessing all caught riding or driv-
ing faster than ten miles an hour
was draugbted. Offenders will be
hauled before the magistrate aud
fined $500, a repetition of the
ofense costing $500.
After some discussion the board
went on record as favoring Horse
Creek improvement, that all those
residing in the West End shall
have ample protection in case of
high water, and no pains or expense
will be spared to this end.
Whereupon the meeting ad-
iourned.

Don't Say Who Told You.

This story is about a Lamar
man, and it happened at promi-
nent hotelin Denver. All the rooms
were occupied save one-one with
private bath was given to the
Lamar citizen. The next morning
the stranger stepped up to the
clerks desk to check out. "Well,
did you have a good nights rest?"
inquired the clerk. No, 1 didn't"
replied the county-seat man.

the bed was purity good, but 1

SENATOR oALLINGER'S
Substitute for Iniguitous Tariff
Measure May Pass the

Congress, proposes the most sweep

and personal experience tells US of
the disasterous effects of those
measures, which were even more
serious than the effects of the
Wilson Bill of 1894.
The voters of the United States
did not cast their votes in Noyem-

outlined by the Underwood-S Sim.

Following the arrival on the Wilhel-

Steele and Nss Virginia Sciaroni, of
San Franc , and their interview
" ith UniteG States District Attorney
R. w. Brecko the latter announces
his belief that he has sufficient in
eliminating evidence to prove J. {.
Steele, alias Jesse Clark. the former
street car conductor. guilty of a statu-
tory offense w.ich will send the latter
- prison for q considerable number
CT years.
. That Jesse Clark, the man known
in Honolulu and J. &. Steele, who mar
ried Miss There's SCfaroni in San
Francisco a nun: .er of years ago, are
cne and the same person Breckons is
thoroughly convinced.
In fact, when Mrs. Steele, his San
Francisco wife. and her sister came of
the Wilhelmina this morning Miss
Sciaroni asserts she recognized Steele
standing on the pier. He made no
effort to identity himself to his rela-
tives however. They were escorted
fILm the vessel by federal ottlclals
Both will rmain here until January p,
when the affair will be placed before
the grand jury.
So sure is the district attorney OF
the strength of his evidence that he
issued a new warrant for Steele's ar
rest this morning, charging him with
adultery. The mans former arrest
was on a charge of bigamy and he
was released on $1,000 bail. but this
will be changed today and Breckons
will urge a much higher bond, which
Steele probably will be unable to get
and will thus compel him to remain in

confinement until his case is called in
court.
In their interview with Breckons the
wife and sister substantiated the. the,
ory that Steele was living in Honolulu
under the nom de plume of Clark
Mrs. Steele explained that she and the
mans mother had been in communica-
ton ever since he came to the islands,
always sending his mail addressed to
y. C. Steele, LOckboX No. 1855, Homo
lulu"
This information was confirmed
thirty minutes later when a receipt
was found at the local postoffice
showing J. c. Steele had rented lock
box there in 1911 and still retained it.
Mrs. Steele said his use of the name
Clark was not a new feature. During
4 part of his residence at San Fran
cisco he had travelled under that cog
nomen. To avoid trouble with the
streetcar unions and strikebreakers
during the trouble there he had gone
into the traction service under the as
sumed name, and was known to all
the streetcar men there as Clark.
When he came down here his recon-
mendations from the company's Off
cials of San Francisco bore the name
Clark. thus virtually compelling him
to continue its use in his new job.
AS yet the district attorney has been
unable to confirm the suspicion that
Steele. or Clark, has more than the
two wives already thought to have
been found. Mrs. Steeles statement
that he is receiving mail from his
mother under the name of Steele
would seem to indicate that this is the
family title and true name

court If it does not, Attorney r. B.

While the dicision applies only to
the Hawaiian property and the ulti

view the California supreme court in

at its own finding the u S. supreme
