The president and his followers
tried to show that the election Of
President ones was not legal on
the ground that the convention
was NOT organized. And when
the. presidenf was asked, il it was
not a fact that il had been the
Gu; tom of the convention to elect
the president before The org ami
zstlon OF the convention2 and il it
was not also a fact that he was
elected before the organization in
Philadelphia. /? The president S
memory was very defective on
these questions. and he could not
remember. 1t is very strange
indeed that the president could
not remember how he was elected
when he ought to remember that
the election IN Philadelphia char
acterized every election that has
been had for the last past three or
four years.

an amendment to the motion. to
suspend the rule and elect the
president bv acclamation.

motion is foreign to- parliamentry

SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO BEGIN
IMPROVEMENTS.

At a conference Friday morning
between Mayor Behrman, Commits
sioner Thompson and w. b. Scott,
president of the Morgan. Louisiana
and Texas, and Guy Hopkins. superin-
tendent of this division of that road,
the railroad officials agreed to repair
the Patterson street viaduct, and will
reduce the grade as much as posi-
BILE, making it practically the same
grade as the Newton street viaduct.
This, it is understood. will permit
the general use of the Patterson
street structure. The railroad cor
poration also agreed to keep Patter-
son street open to the public.
President Scott and Mr.. Hopkins
further agreed to build an overhead
foot bridge at a point in the center
between the Newton and Patterson
street viaducts, thus affording the
people easy access to and from the
lower section. The company is to
build the foot bridge without cost to
the city, though, in accordance with
the agreement, the city is to main
tain the bridge. The structure will
be built along the most modern lines
and will be of material service to the
people living here as well as those
IL.
A further announcement followed
Fridays conference is the statement
that the Southern Pacific will begin
on July l the erection of modern
shops on their property. This will
be a material improvement and will
mean the employment of a large
number of skilled labOrers.
Officials of the railroad corporation
told Mayor Behrman and Commits
sioner Thompson the company would
have given the various items above
mentioned serious consideration be-
fore this, but for the fact that the or
dinance in question was adopted dur
ing August of last year, at time
when the company could not make
an appropriation for the work, in
view of the fact that the fiscal year
begins in July. The 1855 fiscal
year will begin on July l, and at that
time the company will provide suf-
ficient sum to defray the expenses of
the improvements.

BONDS FOR JITNEYS
OBJECT OF COMPANY.
Automobile Drivers to Start Move
ment to Organize Guaranty
Association.

Stanhope King, of the Motor Car AS
sociation of New Orleans, conferred
with Commissioner Thompson upon
the subject of the possible organiza-
ton of a mutual guarantee company
made up of jitney owners to furnish
bond for jitneys. They asked Mr..
Thompson if such an organization
were perfected, would the city accept
its bonds in compliance with the re-
quirements of the jitney ordinance.
Mr.. Thompson replied there was no
disposition upon the part of the city
to be arbitrary, and any security that
was solvent would be accepted as a
bond, so long as it carries out the
purpose of the ordinance to insure
responsibility of the jitney owners. He
suggested that the plan of the organi-
cation and scheme be worked out and
submitted to him, and he could then
better say whether it would be salts
factory.
The delegation left promising to
start the movement at once to organ
ize a guarantee company to furnish
for its members the security neces-
sary to comply with the bond pro-
vision.
