ment In the autobiography of Admiral

fered with the blockade of Manila
Bay by United States warships dur

their interference. Admiral Dewey
called upon Admiral VonDiederichs
to explain.
Admiral Dewey gradually talked
himself into a passion" said the Ger
man officer. He said; Why, l will
stop each vessel, no matter what col
crs she flies. And II she does not stop
l shall fire upon her. And that means
war, do you know sir?'"

behind Jennings as he passed them
and dealt him blow on the side OF

fire already spreading about the lower
floor, occupied by the Tipp family.
Scrambling from his small bed, he
felt hrs way about the room unit.

were sleeping. He shook them, and
called at the top of his voice.
"Quick-get up!" he shouted. "Ev-
erything is on fire, and the house is
all burning up!"
George H. Tipp. the father, was
aroused with difficulty, but took in
the situation without delay. and the
family-Mrs. Tipp. David. Harry, IL
years old. and George H. Tipp, Jr.,
l Ia years old-made their escape in
their night clothing.

CONFERENCE
TO Sc 7 TIE
DEMANDS
Aldermen Will Ask Two Slight
Amendments, Which They Are
Sure viii Be Granted.

An end of the long budget fight was
seen Saturday, when Alderman James
r. Nuttlng, one of the four who has
held the Council deadlocked for al
most two months, declared that he
was confident the Aldermen would
accept the proposition of the Finance
Committee.
Alderman Owens and myself will
meet Chairman Humphrey, Of the FL
nance Committee. for another con-
ference to-day" said Alderman Nut
ting. 1--WE are going to ask for two
minor amendments. which we think
VIII be granted. Even now you can
almost say that compromise has
been reached, for the new attitude
OF the Finance Committee of willing
ness to eoncede to some of our de-
mands means just that"
The additional amendments pro-
posed are mainsprings of some Of
the real politics in the situation.
$500 Wanted for West End.
II $4,000 Is not secured for the paw
ing OF Lucille avenue, in West End,
Councilman S. L. Dallas, junior Coun-
Gilman from the Seventh Ward and
one of the strongest supporters Of
the insurgents, will be left holding
an empty bag.
In campaigning, Councilman Dallas
declared that he would pave Lucille
avenue so smooth that traffic would
move over it as noiseless as a silent
six" When the Finance Committee
failed to appropriate money for this
street or any other in the Seventh
Ward, Councilman Dallas. arose in
arms and led in the organization of
the insurgent movement.
"The Aldermen don't want to sacri-
flee any of their supporters in max
ing a compromise, and they will in
sist that $4,000 be provided for Lucille
avenue"
Fire House Fight Center.
The other point at issue is whether
Alderman James w. Maddox or his
colleague, Councilman Jesse B. Lee,
shall have credit for new fire en-
CINE house for the Fifth Ward.
The old matter of Councilman Lee
being nominated by a majority Of
three votes has been brought into
this controversy Friends of Alder
man Maddox claim that he delivered
those three votes, but when Mayor
Woodward named Councilman Lee to
the Finance Committee the Council
man pursued a financial policy of his
own, without consulting the Alder
man. He secured $4,000 to begin a
boulevard over the Proctor Creek
sewer, and $4,000 for widening the
approaches to the Bellwood avenue
vladuct.
When Alderman Maddox decided
that fire station was more needed
than these improvements he Joined
the insurgents. How loyalty he has
stood by them is indicated by story
being circulated of how he lost the
job of County superintendent of Con-
struction when he was in position to
cast the deciding vote for the budget.
mo" Settles Question.
1t is said that he was informed that
If he would vote for the budget he
would get the support OF Mayor
Woodward for County Superintend-
ent, and that that would have meant
his election. But Alderman Maddox
said, No"
The Finance Committee and Coun-
Gilman Lee have come TO the conclu-
sion that fire station is the most
needed Improvement in the Fifth
Ward.
