 Then came the matter of the John Ballaine taxes. The agreement was read again between the city and Bal laine and there was no mention of certified check. Those who were present at both meetings are convinc- ed that in the first agreement Ballaine promised a certified check but the agreement read last night mentioned only a personal check, which change could only have been possible by some more secret manipulation. This time he made his check, a personal check, payable on December 15. Several members of the council admitted that they were under the impression that Ballaine had offered a certified check. indeed, let is be admitted to their, credit, they seemed to have the idea that Ballaine had been getting in some new work since the last meet ing. The finance committee was in- structed to see Ballaine at a hotel, not in council, and later the council resolved itself into committee of the whole and the sequel will be given later.
 The proposed telephone franchise vas then taken up and the rates and other matters gone into. It tran spired that the rates in the proposed franchise are the same as those now prevailing. Chovin said he had en- quired of Walla Walla, Portland and Seattle and he found that the Seward rates are far less than the rates in any of the cities named. The Seward rates are about the same as those of Cordova, he said There was ob- jection to giving the franchise to Mir. Graf personally instead of to the AL aska Electric company but Mir. Graf said it would be all the same. He stated that he owned all the stock of the Alaska Electric company. The franchise was referred to a committee of the whole and will be taken up in few days.

CHAPTER 2

In the manner of some other fam ous and original novelists Chapter 1 is not the first chapter. The meeting opened with a proposal by Dr. Romig which stated that the government would donate some lots on the south line of the government tract and that Ballaine and Whittlesey would sell for their assessed value some lots ad- joining, all to be a site for high school. The council thought it did not have money to buy anything, Every member seemed to be opposed to the idea at present. L. L. James presented bonds and an affidavit for c. E. Bade and the bonds having been accepted Mir. Bade was paid the final amount coming from contract. The payment last night was $4,107.

THE SEQUEL
Ballaine Must Pay

After the meeting between John R.. Ballaine and the finance committee last night it was decided to cut out agreement by which Ballaine got un- til the first of February to pay his taxes. Mir. Ballaine very cleverly of fered a personal check payable on December 15 but wanted the agree ment that he could not be compelled to pay taxes until February 1 go on. This would have meant that even if his personal check were dishOnored on December 15 the council could not force him to pay taxes anyhow until February the first. But this game did not work owing to the publicity given the matter and Ballaine's taxes will go delinquent on December "A just like other taxes if the personal check is no good. So. the scheme is knocked on the head as the council did not ratify the agreement.

MORE COAL TO COME

A. G. de Sherbinin made trip over to Seldovia on the Admiral Eavns re- turning on that boat this morning. He states that J. A. Herbert has driven his coal tunnels for 992 feet in a vertical, and the coal at that place is capped by over 400 feet of rock and is the best quality of coal yet produced from the Seldovia mines. The coal is harder and of much better quality than has hereto fore been taken out. MT. de SAcrbin- in will receive a shipment of coal either on the Farragut or the Alliance to supply the growing local demand.

 q hereby offer my resignation as a member of the school board" " Quoth Dagget at the meeting of the city council last night. "I see it is impossible to have harmony and eff ficiency as that committee is at pres ent constituted" (Meaning Chamb- erlin).
 "Pd advise the gentleman to resign from every committee he's on" shot back Chamberlin, eff he wants it to have harmony and efficiency"
 "The gentleman is neither witty nor truthful" burst forth the first speaker in angry tones and the mayor interposed to prevent the spilling ot any more blood.
 CHAPTER 1
 For the first time in the history of the present council Councilman Chamberlin prevailed last night. He performed the miraculous task of breaking up the combination which has been the Inner Council of our fair city since last April. It all hap, pened thusly:
 Councilman Daggett asked that c w. Winstadt, the architect, be paiC for work which he had done in draw ing up plans for the school building Chamberlin objected strenuouSly, de claring that this was no time to bring in such a bill three months after the work had been done and when tho council had never promised to pay fol the services. "This is the usual way with Daggett," said the other. "Be. tween meetings all the time he is taking things on himself without ask ing me, another member of the school committee, or anyone else. Daggett apparently lost his tempe and insinuated that Chamberlin was not worthy of being taken into ac. count for certain reasons, to whicf Chamberlin replied that Daggett haC broken his word several times. Dag gett called for the intervention of the chair and seemed to forget that when he insulted Chamberlin the latter took his medicine without calling on the mayor for help. And then came the dramatic denoument, or whatever ii was, when Councilman Borgen took the side of Chamberlin and declared the bill had been presented too late He protested against the disgracefu fighting in the council. Then came the motion to pay Winstadt fifty { dollars but the motion was lost as the council voted three to three. Those voting against were the mayor Chamberlin and Borgen. Daggett Crawford and Chovin voted for it Then Daggett moved that Winstadt be paid thirty-fve dollars, which, he said, Mir. Winstadt had been out of pocket in doing the city's work, but again the voting was three to three Winstadt got no money but he looked on while he saw himself becoming the rock on which the Big Four had wrecked itself. Then came the wordy war after Borgen stated that "it did, n't look good to present bill months after the supposed work had beer done"

late the best efforts of his rival. Nap
allowed nine hits in seven innings, but
they were not very productive. Ruck-
er's arm may be entirely well again,
but he used nothing except his famous
slow drop.
Marquard, on the other hand. spiced
his pitching with speed. For the most
part he depended on his curve, and so
good was his control that almost In
variably he could hook the first one
over, and thus have margin to work
upon. Only once or twice was he com

Rucker allowed just one hit In the
first three innings, and the Giants did
not score until the fourth. In that
inning Lobert singled over second
base and advanced while Rucker was
tossing out Fletcher Burns brought
Hans home by hitting up against the
right field fence, where he earned an
Ever Ready safety razor with twelve

The lead of one run did not loom

to annoy McGraw by tossing away
chances to score. Thorpe was passed

to third with a single TO left The
Chief played into the hands Of Brook

Lobert singled to start the sixth, but

safely and went to second on Getz's bad
throw at the beginning of the seventh
it seemed as if that opportunity also
would be wasted. Jim Thorpe, ordered

Meyers dribbled grounder to Cut

He was hitter and pitcher, too. Though
he smashed his bat in the doing, he

Mete Out a Drubbing to the
Newark Peppers Gilmore
Tells of His Hopes
for Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn Tip Tops meeted out
a drubbing to the Newark Peppers at
Washington Park yesterday. The score
was II to 6, and James f. Gilmore,
along with about a thousand fans wit
messed the game.
A more hectic struggle would be
hard TO imagine, and the crowd got its
moneys worth in real thrills. There
was hard hitting splenty, runs galore,
and fielding that bordered on the hair
raising. Likewise, there was fielding
that would disgrace high school team
And in that merry melange of baseball
incidents two records were established
Brooklyn scored ten runs in the fifth
inning, and the game was played in
hour and % minutes.
Mr.. Gilmore was not depressed over
the slim attendance at the game. He
declared Brooklyn one of the best base
ball cities in the country, and declared
that when the season was well under
way, with the teams going in their
right stride, the fans would support the
Tip Tops with the same loyalty that
they stood by the old Superbas.
81 look for a most successful year"
said Mr.. Gilmore. at is little bit
early in the season TO expect the fans
to turn out every day, but they will
come. | venture the prediction that
Washington Park will be the summer
home Of the Brooklyn fans. Here they
have a team worthy of comparison with
the best in the National or American
leagues. Interest is booming, and we
will do all in our power TO promote this
interest"
Mr.. Gilmore will open officially the
new grounds of the Newark team to-
day. There will be dinner in Newark
tonight which will be attended by
eight hundred baseball fans. President
Gilmore will speak.
But to return TO the game and the
playing thereof. The Tip Tops swung
along in orderly fashion for four in
nings, content 10 hold 4 to 2 lead.
In fact, II appeared as though they
would remain content with the margin,
for two men expired in the fifth frame
without so much as struggle.
But then the storm broke. Magee
started with single, and not to be
outdone by their manager, the rest of
the boys swung into line. To make a
long story short six hits, FIVE bases on
balls, two stolen bases, a couple Of
errors and a wild pitch happened along
in close succession and ten runs were
scored.
The fans whooped with glee. But
neither Carl Whitehouse nor Billiard
could see the humor. They were the
victims.
Tom Seaton, who apparently is out
to establish a record for number Of
innings pitched, was on the rubber for
the Tip Tops. For FIVE innings he did
not allow hit. but in the sixth, with
the issue settled practically beyond all
doubt. he eased down and just coasted
through 70 the end. In all, only five
hits were scored of his delivery.
Rousch. who started the game in CEN
ire field for the Peppers, made one Of
the greatest catches seen on any field.
In the fifth inning he robbed Magee Of
