A large number OF members of
the order were present Oh this oc
casion. aud they had with them at
this meeting Miss Fannie b. Mel
kin, of New Orleans, a Past
Grand Worthy Matron of the
State of Louisiana. She was ex
tended . most cordial welcome by
the members of the Chapter, who
experienced great pleasure a,
having her with them. Miss Mel
KIN was q member OF the party in
charge Of the Health Tram, ami
expresses herself as enjoying very
much her visit to New iberia.
After the conclusion of the Ger.
emOnies behind the tiled doors the
members and their guests repair
ed to the banquet hall where deli.
cious light refreshments were
served in an informal manner
and where the social features OF

the TAX PAYERS
PETITION

A special session Of the City
Council was called by Mayor Pow
er for Wednesday evening at $50
O'Clock to consider the petition OF
the people, protesting against the
cement sidewalk ordinance, re-
Gently adopted. After some de-
lay the meeting was called t" Or
der with The Mayor in the chair
and the following cOuucilmen
present: K. d Southwell, Numa
Miguez Luke Trainor, and K. +.
Ribbeck. Absent: Octave kenou
Diet. Clet Girard, Willie Lassalle,
and Victor Erath.
After the call to order, with a
goOdly number of citizens present,
the Secretary read The letter Of
the Tax Payers's Protective Asso.
citation addressed to the Mayor
aud Board of Trustees of the City
of New Iberia. Then followed
the reading of the petition Of the
tax payers, addressed to the CITY
Council, which petition we pub
lish in full III our last issue
There were some one hundred and
ninety odd signatures attached to
the several copies of the petition
filed with the Secretary.
The whole subject matter was
then opened to debate, when
Messrs. E F. Willard and Jules
Dreyfus addressed the City Coun
Gil in advocacy of the prayer EN-
bodied in the petition. Mr.. kObt.
Jacobs opposed the consideration
of the petition Messrs. South
we'll, Ribbeck, and Mayor Power
expressed their personal views of
the subject.
Mr.. Southwell moved the recep
ton Of the petition and the laying
of it on the table for later cOnsid
GRAFTON by the Council. Mr.. Mig
uez seconded this motion, but fol-
lowing the debate of the motion,
Mr.. Miguel withdrew his second.
No other second was offered.
The Mayor then ruled that, as
any motion for the favorable con
sideration Of the prare, embodied
m the tax payers rA on would
be tantumount toal ion to re-
consider the original ordinance,
he felt constrained not to enter
tain it, it presented by a council
man who had not voted ''fOr" the
adoption of the ordinance at the
time of its passage. Under this
ruling Messrs k,bbeck and South
we'll we're the only two counciImen
present competent to make such a
motion. But neither would frame
the motion in defence of the petit
TONERS.
After q considerable wait Mr..
Southwell moved an ad journment.
To this motion there was no Sec
ond. Even Mr.. RibbecK, who
was deaf to the petition of nearly
200 tax payers, could not fin't
courage sufficient to enable him
to take part IN the adjourning of
the meeting.
Az conditions had, apparently.
developed a complete "dead.lock''
in this session Of the City Council,
where even motion to adjourn
could not get second, the May
or, after giving warning, declar-
ed the meeting adjourned.
The tax payers appealed to the
City Council, in the hope that
they would be heard and their dis
tress recognized; but, being dis
appointed in the hope, an appeal
will be made to the courts, pray
ing for an injunction. The de
tails were in course of preparation
yesterday. o.

CYCLE RACES
FOR TACOMAl
SPEEDWAY

Tacoma's Montamara X race
course will be utilized for motor
cycle races within few weeks,
according to a decision of the Tas
coma Ad club last night. Ar
rangements will be made at once,
with entries open to any motor
cycle racers in the Northwest. =
Motorcycle races were planned
for the Festo, but were overshad-
owed by the importance of the
auto races. The cycle races on
Tacoma avenue during the Festo
were exciting, but, held almost
under cover of darkness, lacked
the interest that a long road race
of two-wheeled speeders would
develop. Efforts will be made
to hold the races within three
weeks.

of the most important clearance
sales in the history of this house
Our entire stock of used and ex.
changed Pianos, together with al
of the discontinued styles and fac.
tory samples on our floors, will be
sold at prices and on terms never
before equaled or even approached
In this or any other section of the
country.
This is going to be our biggest
effort. In all our piano selling ex-
perience we have never before had
so much genuine intrinsic piano
value to offer as at the present
time. Magnificent grands, beauti-
full player-pianos, good, depend
able uprights, all have been re-
duced to practically giving 'em-
away prices in order to turn them
into money before completing our
inventory.
All prices are marked in plain
figures, and while these greatly
reduced prices should be for cash
only, you are at liberty to take
advantage of our easy payment
plan-paying in small monthly in
stallments if more convenient.
1t is impossible in this limited
space to give any idea of the scope
of this sale or of the large variety
of old established and well known
makes from which to choose-a
few samples will suffice:
LOOK AT THESE PRICES

choice mahogany and walnut
cases. which usually sell for 1915
to $425, are now marked $217,

for $425 and $475, are now
marked 1855, s27o and $3.50 to

CRUSADE

AS climax to the state tuber-

Wheeler last night presented the
issues in the big fight against the
white plague to the Tacoma AID
club and the boys enlisted on the
spot for the war. A committee
was appointed from the club head
ed by F. s. Baker to wait on the
county commissioners and urge
them to get busy at once and erect
a county sanitorium for the treat
ment of tuberculosis victims.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-07-16

will go for $500. Other grands
are reduced and player-pianos in
practically every style and finish
show reductions, in some instances
of nearly 80 per cent. Several of
the older styles we will close out
at uniform price of $45. How
ever, we do not want to carry a
| contract for the small amount
| asked for these ON the books, and
we viii therefore expect these to
be sold for cash. Organs from IS,
$12, $40 and up.

ETY. of styles and makes that no

careful note of the different
pianos and the prices asked. Come
here first or come here last. it's
all the same to us. The more
thorough your investigation the
more thoroughly you will be con-
vinced of the great saving there
is to be made here now.
We guarantee the quality: also
give our binding exchange agree
ment, whereby any instrument in
this sale will be accepted by us
at the price you now pay, and at
any time before three years from
now, toward payment for one of
