Curtis Questions Mayors Right.
What right-other than the right
of might-what legal or moral right
have you to separate a question pass
ed on by this council into two diff
terent matters?'
Councilman Curtis asked City Clerk
Thompson whether he had the ORR
ginal resolution covered in item No.
40. He waited a minute or so and
then became engaged in a controversy
with the city clerk. Mayor Quigley
banged the gravel and said in a loud
tone: eff you have any statements
to make regarding the resolution
now under discussion make them. ~
The Accusation.
"All right, l will" replied Coun-
Gilman Curtis defiantly When the
mayor takes public documents after
they have been passed on by the
council and crosses out parts of them
1 say he is exceeding his authority"
The council and audience was tense
while Councilman Curtis reached into
his pocket and produced a case from
which he brought forth photographs,
which he flourish ed in the air, saying
II have photogra phs ofthe original
documents which L will show to prove
my statements" He would have pro-
ceeded but Mayor Quigley brought
the gravel down with a resOunding
crash and shouted above the tumult:
IF you are talking on the matter be-
fore the house, all we'll and good.
II You are not, sit down..
Council Support Mayor
Councilman Curtis continued TO
talk
do you appeal from the ruling OF
the chair?' asked Mayor Quigley.

the councilman

"All right, we will show in the
newspapers how the mayor tempered

Gilman Curtis parting shot as he

retorted Mayor Quigley, again bring

"All right, go ahead" said Coun-
Gilman Paonessa in an angry tone
Alderman Parker began to talk
about the veto and why it should be
sustained when Councilman Curtis
expressed the opinion he was out Of

Of the alderman. The latter said he
would vote to sustain the veto and
Alderman Jester expressed similar

Asserting that they had offered pre-

violation of the long and short haul
section Of the interstate commerce act,
and it is pointed out that the defend
ants did not offer any testimony or
evidence that could possibly be accept
ed as a justification of this violation.
The complainants make 1t clear to
the commission that the elimination OF
the commodity rates to the southern
cities as suggested by the defendants
would not correct the wrong suffered
firms and corporations in washing
ton, D. c., and would instead deprive
these southern cities of an inherent
right acquired by over twenty years OF
continuous application.
Contention Of complainants.
TT is accordingly submitted that a
denial of the commodity rates for
Washington, D. c., as claimed by the
complainants, would in fact tend to
perpetuate the unreasonable rate ad-
justment unlawfully maintained by the
defendants for more than twenty
years."
In pointing out that the elimination
Of the commodity rates to the southern
cities would not benefit Washington
the local organizations have in mind
the action of the roads on one Of the
early angles of the local rate case.
where the comm ission ruled that 1t was
unlawful to maintain lower rates to
Richmond than to Washington and
ordered the railroads to correct 1t. The
railroads did correct the matter by
raising the rates to Richmond instead
Of reducing them to Washington.

Of great modish prominence are the

NEW TAILORED SUITS.
Spring Always Demands Its Quota Of
Severe Garments.

0oVoFo S0TmonSSs
With the advent of spring the demand
for tailored and semitailored suits in-
creases. From twenty-five to twenty
six inches in length are the suit coats,
but not invariably so, for the bolero
and Elton effects have to be reckoned
with, and they are to be quite an i'm
portant feature this spring.
While the Norfolk suit is growing in
popularity, it Is not to be confused
with the Norfolk suit Of other days,
for the skirt portion Of this new suit
has the popular flare so much in de-
mand, and as for pockets, the new suit
fairly bristles with them. In nearly
every case there are at least four, two
above the belt and two below. The
Norfolk is sure to be popular, for there
are few other styles that are as trig
and smart for hard wear as is this
tailored suit.
The coat cut in two portions is not
only charming, but sure to be becom-
ing to most figures. The lower part,
needless to say, Is cut with a decided
fare, and this is applied to the upper
and in most cases the fitted upper part
at a line that varies.

trained executive in charge, but also
the personal service of leading citizens

court Judges and churchmen. Indeed.
the surprising statement was made
that seven cities which have raised
budgets for scout work have not yet
been able to find trained men to adj
minister it. This lack, it is expected.

HEN the "stagecoach and the

WV steamboat passed out as the
ordinary means Of travel a
certain social status passed
out with them. Both these methods of
transportation fostered something that
no longer exists-the society of travel.
"A number Of persons would start on q
Journey in q ~stagecoach, and the fact
that they We're fellow travellers made
them at once acquaintances, often
friends and in certain instances lovers.
AS to the steamboat, while the greater
automatic %sociability, it was a unique
institution.
In the front part of the main saloon
OF n Mississippi steamboat was a little
boxlike structure, in which liquors
We're served. Passing aft, one would
see numerous tables, some Of which
We're occupied by card players with
stacks of chips or coins before them.
AT mealtimes these tables We're placed
together, forming one long table, and
shortly before a meal was announced
male passengers would line them wait
ing to secure seats. In the stern of
the boat was the ladies' cabin. When
dinner was ready the captain went
into this cabin. bowed tremendously
to the ladies', offered his arm to one,
escorted her to Il seat at the table, fol-
lowed by the other ladies and the men
travelling with them. When they We're
seated a colored man swung Il huge
brass bell, and the first stroke of the
clapper was Il signal for every mar
who had been waiting to plunge into a
seat.
One day a gentleman in a %variegated
Waistcoat worn by men of that day
and a long skirted coat with Il large
! rolling velvet collar stood alnong the
men waiting for the signal to be seat
ed. \ moment before it came he turn
ed and stepped into his stateroom to
leave his hat there. AS he emerged
the bell rang. and Il man dropped into
his seat. The act was a fragrant
breach Of courtesy, for the gentleman
had been waiting some time behind
the chair. and the other must certainly
have been aware of the fact.
Conscious of some one standing be-
hind him. the seat stealer turned and
looked up into a severe countenance
bending over him. But there was
something more severe than the face
a glittering bowie knife, whose blade
was pointed down ut Il small bald spot
on top of the interloper's head. The
fellow dived under the table and eff
fected an exit on the other side.
After dinner q young man about
twenty-one years Of age approached
the man who had poised the bowie
knife and said:
Colonel Sinclair. I believer
"At yo' service, suh."
II was especially gratifed at your
recovery Of your seat at table. The
man who proposed to dispossess you
