EFFORTS TO EFFECT
COMPROMISE FALL DOWN
Anu.Reca|| Committee Declare Bur-
ford Was Not Authorized TO
Make Concessions

The mandamus action against City
Clerk Dunham in the matter of the
recall OF Comr's. Nissley and Carter
will be taken up and finally disposed
of on February 5th. Judge Huston
has scheduled that date and says
there will be no further delays.
At the last hearing OF arguments
in the case, three weeks ago, the
court jolted the attorneys for the re-
call and the anti-recall with a lecture
wherein he pleaded for harmony in
behalf OF the city" As a result two
meetings took place between COM
mittees representing Nissley and
Carter and the Business Men league.
Judge Burford acted as spokesman for
the mayor, and said if the recall was
withdrawn Mayor y ssley would agree
to call an election to amend the
charter relative to tenure of office
and one or two minor points, and that
Mr. Carter would step ont April [, and
Mr.. NisSley January /, 1919. The com
nittee representing the Business
Mems League agreed to all the terms
cited by the anti recall committee,
except that Mayor Nissey should re-
tire April /, and Mr.. Carter Jan. ],
1915. The meeting adjourned to meet
three days later At this meeting
iMessrs. Buringame and Jenkins in
sisted that litigation be stopped before
any agreements were made. This was
not agreed to and the conference was
again adjourned TO meet last Mon
day. At this meeting the committee
representing the commissioners fail
ed to appear. Later, Tom Jenkins,
city treasurer, told the Business
Mems League that all compromises
were off; that Judge Burford was not
authorized to make anv propositions
in behalf of the anti ti-recall commit
tee
1t is said that Burford is angry over
the turn of affairs. This morning
the Business Mems League commit
tee held another meeting and asked
for a conference with the antirecall
committee, but the invitation was
turned down. Being unable to ar
range a compromise the Business
League got into communication with
Judge Huston. who set February 9Th,
as the date for hearing the manda-
mus action The city commissioners
