repeal champions considerable con- Cern.
 One of the first guns of the oppo- sition to the repeal in the senate was fired today by Chairman Cham terlain of Oregon, through the intro duction of resolution calling upon the secretary of war for all avail able information as to the cost Of maintenance of navigable rivers and canals through which all shipping, by the act passed in 1884. is guaran- teed passage free of tolls. In the preamble to the resolution, it was asserted that if the policy of the government in relation to the Pana- ma canal tolls is reversed, the policy with reference to all rivers and canals also should be changed and tells charged to all shipping to pay the government for maintaining the waterways.
 My chief purpose in introducing the resolution" Senator Chamberlain said tonight lis to show if, as the repeal champions maintain. the toll
 exemption to American ships is q
 ship subsidiary granted by the gov 1 ernment, that it has always beer 1 the policy of the government since
 1884 to subsidize OUT shipping. Il we are going to charge our shipping
 tolls at Panama we ought to charge 1 tolls elsewhere"

a probability that an injunction might be asked and that dirty charges were likely to be preferred by the Califor- nians the councilmen interested, were sought by their friends and who wished to know from what sources the charges had emenated. Upon several occasions it seemed that clashes could hardly be avoided. The men accused of making these charges did not appear in the Council Chamber last evening while the meeting was in session, although g. desire was expressed more than once that they make open statements.

against a member of this body have known Councilmen Cisney and Warren for many years and I think these in situations should be squelched
 This council sent Cisney, Street Su- perintendent Thompson and myself to various cities to look up pavement mat ters. We were gone a week and Mir Cisney spent part of the time looking up fire apparatus.
 Three years ago I was sent to Washington to try and get permission to sell bonds for fire equipment. The people of Phoenix have long demanded that We improve the equipment of the fire department. I went to Washington at my own expense, beyond actual transportation. I spent almost three
 weeks in Washington trying to get the i Senators and Congressman to permit
 us to bond ourselves for 5000 and | Congress refused to allow it. saving Arizona was about to become a state and that we should be able to take ! care of the matter ourselves at that | time.
 One year later We became a state l and immediately I requested the City Attorney to draw up a bill to go be- 1 fore the legislature asking for the same | permission. Later a bill about the ! same as that originally presented, was
 passed. Then came the delays of hay | ing bond elections, with the history of which we are all familiar. Finally we
 secured the money All along the in surance underwriters have been telling i us that unless we secured additional and better equipment our insurance
 rates would be raised and they have | been raised in some instances as high
 as fifty per cent.
 When anybody thinks this City
 Council has been pushing this thing i just to spend the money before we go 1 out of office, they are mistaken. Three of the commissioners -elect have this
 very day asked us to complete this | business
 We have been accused of holding
 star chamber session. We did not hold
 a star chamber session. We did close the doors against the general public
 for the only reason that it would have
 been a physical impossibility to have | transacted the business with the big
 crowd present that was attempting to
 secure admittance to these small rooms.
 1 T wish to say in behalf of my col l leagues that in making charges of
 graft these California men are abso- lutely mistaken.
 ] Few people realize the duties of Councilman. I wish to say, that all the | time I have been of this council we
 have held upon an average three meet l ings each week and often as high as ] five meetings. I know I have spent | one third of the salary have earned as
 cashier of the Valley Bank in the past
 three years for the mere pleasure of
 being mayor and that without one cent
 of salary or other remuneration from

 member of this council with graft. | MT. McDermott, MT McElroy and
 myself want to know if we have been associating with men who are not hon.

Members of Mems Religious Federation Parade Down. town As Demonstration for Righteousness. Tab ernacle Crowded

Three hundred of the men of Phoe- nix paraded the down. town streets last evening from the Y. M. c. A., through the business district and over to the reformed skating rink. where the great Brown and Curry meeting is being held It was quite a demon stration for righteousness that moved hundreds, and many followed the throng to the auditorium and flocked in to hear the gospel message of the revivalists. The big building was crowded, and at the close fifty people went forward to take the proposition made by the preacher. The subject of the evenings discussion was Prisoners" and Rev. John E. Brown delivered a powerful message upon the subject. No little part of the evenings service was the work of the great chorus choir which really gets better every night, and the directing of Prof. Curry who has won many friends by hia consistent endeavor in assisting in making the meeting a success.
 The subject of the morning session this morning will be suffering while tonight the discussion will be Young Peoples night just the same as the service last night was devoted to The Mems Federation" of the city.

CITY DELIVERY COST
Orders Probe to Learn Feast
bility. of Penny Postage
Project.

What is believed to be the first in
vestigation to ascertain the practical
bility of penny postage on letters for
local delivery was ordered today in
postoffices over the country by the
department at Washington.
Superintendent of Mails Handley
will keep daily record Of the number
of local letters and the amount of
postage on them for the next month.
He believes the postoffice department
has ordered the record to secure the
per centage of local mail and will esti-
mate the cost of handling to reduce
that class of mail to one cent.
Within the last few days various
orders have been received, until every
class of mail is being counted, weigh
ed and recorded, except outgoing an
incoming mail of the first class.

Plunges-Ask Pool Open
for New Years.

Fourteen braved the icy waters OF
Hawkins swimming pond yesterday,
three or four Of whom made the as
sertion that the swimming season in
Richmond was not closed this year
until the water closes. Four of the
fourteen were women.
A thirty-minute swim is about the
maximum since the temperature which
has been not far from the freezing
point on several nights has affected
the water similarly.
Two young men asked Charles Par
ker, the proprietor, to keep the water
open on Christmas day SO that the
New York custom of christening
Christmas with an outdoor plunge
could be started here.
Mrs. Owen Parker and Miss Pearl
James, two young women. and Mrs.

perature is. They declare that this is
the means of perfect health. The first
named women were in the water for
more than an hour yesterday after
noon. Both are excellent swimmers.
