HOLY LAND
 FOR SALE

CINCINNATTI, May 22-Henry Morgenthau, the former United States Ambassador to Turkey and himself a Hebrew, speaking in 8 lecture delivered before local Hebrews today said that the Turks were quite willing to sell Palestins for the purpose of making it an h. ternational state or making it a re- public.
 Morgenthau said that he learned that the view prevailed among the Turks that christian sympathy for the birthplace of Christ and Jewish sympathy for the cradle of the race made it desirable for Turkey to pre- vent complete alienation of senti- ment towards them, to let Palestine be independent of the Ottoman enl- pire.

COUNCIL HOLDS
 REGULAR WEEKLY MEET

With the exception of H anry Burgh who is on the sick list when Mayor Blake ct.lled the council to order last night all were pre3en: to answer roll call.
 There were To communications The minutes were fiawless in the esti.r ation of th6 meeting and stood approved accordingly.
 Councilman Thompson of the Pc- lice Committee stated that dIring the week they lad granted perr1is- sion to Doc Kemp to run :. street sign across tJe street and would ask the council to pass a motion to continue or discontinue same in terms of the ordinance. He urged that tke City Attorney be authorized to draw up an ordinance licensing the messengers of the Red light district, and the police cCm- mittee to prepare certain rules and regulations affecting the restricted dntrict which would be enforced.
 Councilman M'Allister of the Fire Committee reported that the mains were now free from any but very small leaks
 The bill fo.' the city auditor amounted to the huge sum of s350 and was approved with the rest of the labor bills, piece of gentle irony on the part of Councilman Thompson.
 Thompson initiated considerable resoluting and ordinancing by tho introduction of an ordinance prohl-

biting the use of delapidatei buildings which was read and adopted
 Councilman Poteet thereupon introduced an ordinance prohibiting the use of sewers during the winter time, from November 1 to May I, and fixing penalty for violation thereof. This followed the sams course as the previous one, and was adopted
 Councilman Thompson moved tha, the resolution authorizing the sale of lots 1 to 12 inclusive in blocks 113-120 inclusive, and lots from 8 to 12 inclusive in block 121 be sold to w. J. Rowe for the consideration of $36 be taken from the table where it was placed by the same councilman, who also introduced it last week. This passed Thereupon this mysterious real estate deal con- veying this city property to Rowe passed Evidently the council has no hope of returning prosperity to the town, since none suggesting leasing the ground.
 M'Allister who insists upon resur- rectlng the munic:paliZation schemes which were the mayors favorite platform before election, brought to the attention of the council the need of a coal yard and suggested sending out a message to A. H. Moore who is bringing in two ships to get another chartered to take in coal for the city. The Mayor stated that a communication had al- ready been sent Moore.
 Thompson moved that the city attorney be instructed to draw up an ordinance licensing messengers. This was passed.

WASHINGTON, D. G., May a. General Funston has asked the War Department to give him every avail able unit of the coast artillery His report upon the militia supplied him is very disappointing. He says that the showing is lamenitable in the extreme, many refusing to re- spond for service for the border and for possible war in Mexico, while others examined by the phy- sicians were pronounced physically unfit. The militia is a failure as

tain police rules and regulations for the Redlight. Although he did not intimate the nature of these pre- sumable reforms, the council gave him the required authority.
 Thompson then moved that after June the council meet every second week. There was no second CT for while and M'Allister inter- rupted to point out again that they hadn't begun to consider the power and light and coal plant for the city of Nome. The Mayor regarded the councilman much as Macbeth might have regarded Banquo's ghost when the jinbanged thing wouldn't down. Rose said that they might as we'll have no meetings for they didn't consider these things at meetings any way. In fact Thomp- son who has his own ideas of coun- cil meetings said that they would be lot better off holding no meet ings for they would then transact business without squabbling. Th } caucus appealed to him as the pro- per thing for frame-ups. The mayor said in loud and despairing tone that the motion had no seconder. when Poteet threw few straws for them to clutch at by seconding the motion. The question was put: Thompson voted 'ay''. and no ono voted no, so the mayor declared that the ayes had it.
 MT. Buckmaster brought the mat ter of the bar sold to Holt up at the meeting and gave the history Of the same, reminding the counci, that he hadn't been in the saloon business long enough to become petty thief. The Mayor referred the matter to the street committee. The council then adjourned.
