BUT THE VAULT

Chief Brawner Tries to Cash Pay Warrant But Fails-Commission Meets Today Ito Get Things in Working Order.

The city commission will meet iu special session this morning at 9 o'clock at the call of Mayor George [. Young, who in issuing the call announces that the commission is anxious to get things in smooth working order. He adds that business of importance is to come be- fore the commission.
 About the only visible effort yester- day of Robert A. Craig, appointed on Monday as city manager to assume tho duties of the office. was made early in the forenoon when he appeared with Attorney Hayes and George Kirkland and announced that he desired that the city vault be opened. Nobody present responded to the request and Mr. Kirk land began spreading out a kit of tools that would do credit to a modern ''cracksman' and made as if to proceed with the work of opening the door. As ne advanced toward the vault, he was intercepted by a policeman who an nounced there would be nothing doing just then in the way of safe opening. This statement was augmented a little later by another from Chief of Police Walter F. Brawner and the vault re- mained closed. There was a spirit of the utmost cordiality attendant upon these proceedings and MT. Craig, Attor- neys Hayes and Mir. Kirkland retired gracefully. It was hinted that an order might De secured from the courts re- qniring the opening of the vault but up to a late hour last evening no such ord CT was forthcoming although the su- perior court held a night session upon another case and the judge was within reach ii attorneys desiring to apply for a mandamus or other order.
 Manager Parish sat tight yesterday and last evening was apparently quite as much in control of the city's affairs as at any time since his appointment. He said he was acting upon the advice of his attorneys and would continue to perform the functions of the office of manager until a court of jurisdiction had decided against him.
 An interesting incident in the affair occurred shortly after six o'clock last evening when Manager Parish opened the vault and brought for the city pay roll Chief of Police Brawner signed the roll and was given his semi month ly pay warrant signed by Manager Far, ish and attested by City Clerk Thomas. City Treasurer Boon was then request ed to pay the warrant but declined stating he had been advised by attor neys representing his bondsmen that he would be held responsible for the city's moneys and that he would recog- nize no warrants, whether they bore the name of Manager Parish or Mir. Craig.
 Subsequent to his formal demand for the cashing of the warrant Chief Brawner announced to the members o;, his force that he believed arrangements would be completed today whereby the payroll warrants would be met today.
 Recall petition affidavits were filed with City Clerk Thomas yesterday de- manding the recall of Mayor Young and Commissioners Cope and Corpstein. Petition blanks were in the course of preparation all of yesterday bearing the substances of the affidavits and will be put into systematic circulation early today.
 The recall of Mayor Young is asked by Col. James H. McClintock. In his affidavits. Col. McClintock, referring to Mayor Young charges:
 That he is incompetent to discharge the duties of the office of mayor.
 That he is visionary, vacilating and
