 THE FIRE DEPARTMENT?
Council Instructs Mayor. Fire Chief and Chairman Fire Committee
 to Make Inquiry.

Mayor Simon Bloom, Fire Chief A. c. Briener and the chairman of the council fire committee will hold a conference today, to probe into charges of an indefinite nature, to the effect that there is a spirit of mutiny prevailing in certain circles in the fire department.

 The forcibla taking of American ctti2ens from the American ship China. and new message from Am. bassador Page, indicating that trade with the United States in many ar- ticles can be conducted only under special license from the British go,.- ernment, has added greatly to the irritation in administration circles.

The city council last niaht took ;' third shot at adopting an ordinance to regulate fate drumlniH%." ene adopted such an ordinancn, by iiNm2 a license at $25 per year. and uiAkin. it misdeneanor to violate the ordi- nance, the fine being fixed at not less than $5 nor more than $50.
 The ordinance was prepared by City Attorney Earl S. Wood after much study and consideration, ana it was adopted unanimously, aftel some little discussion as 10 the tech nicalities it contained and the scope it covered.
 The proposition of children skat- ing On streets and sidewalks was dis eussed also at some length, inc mat ter finally being left entirely to the judgment and discretion CT the mayor and the chief of police. Mayor Bloom explained that he had issued the or der prohibiting such skating. only ait CT he had received many complaints, and only after two children had sui fered broken limbs. The mayor ex- pIained also that as late at 10:40 o'clock one night, the police found it necessary to drive a crowd of chli- Gren skaters off the streets.
 Where it is safe and there is nc complaint. and where the children themselves arc not in danger, they are being allowed to skate said tile mayor. But it is absolutely neces- sary that some discretion be ueed. Nobody wants the children to have more recreation and pleasure, mere than I. But I want the children and everybody else to be protected from danger"
 Errors Cost Heavily.
 A petition for the organization of pacing improvement district No. g was introduced, was read and was granted The ordinance accompany ing it was given one reading, and then took it's place on the calendar.
 It developed this district is to take the place of district No. 36, formed some time ago, and in which it has since been discovered some technical errors were made, making it lmpos- sible to sell the bonds. The new peti- ton, therefore, was introduced.
 In this connection, Mayor Bloom urged that particular care should De taken to avoid these errors, as the city has to pay $35 or $40 for the pub lication of these ordinances. and the city is not able to pay so heavily ae- cause of errors which could be avoid cd. He urged that hereafter all such ordinances be approved by the city at torney and city engineer before they are finally passed.
 In this same connection, Attorney Ben Harvey representing protesting property owners, addressed the coun- cil, making it plain that it is doubtful if the petition has or can obtain the support of the majority of the prop erty owners. affected, and urging the council to hold the ordinance over. that the protestants nay be able tc study the matter and arrange their protest.

 Baron Zwiedinek, the Austrian charge d'affaires, came to the state departn ent today to inform Secre- tary Lansing that he had no reply from Vienna to the note he sent con- taining this governments attitude on the armed merchantmen question:.
 A high administration official said the submarine controversy be- tween the United States and the cen tral Teutonic powers is as serious now as it was immediately after the sinking of the Lusitania. He asserted that this is due to the divergence of views expressed by the United States on the one hand and Germany and Austria on the other on the question of armed nerchantmen.

Washington, Feb. 21.--An import, ant conference was held at the white house tonight by President Wilson Senator Stone of Missouri, chairman of the senate foreign relations com mittee; Representative Flood, chair man of the house foreign relations ccmTittee, and Senator Kern of h. diana, majority leader of the senate
 The conference lasted an hour and 20 minutes. It was called at the re- quest of the president. At it's close none of the confsrees would disclose the subject discussed.
 One of the main purposes of the conference, it is und arstood, was to arm Senator Ssone with material for the speech he plans to make in the senate this week, defa1lding the ad- ministratio1's Toreign ;'olicy.
 Another purpose was the desire of President Wilson 10 get the advice Of the ohairmen and the Democratic l3ader on the international situatiol I.
 The president, it was learned, out lin2d the latest developn ents in vars ous controversies with other govern ments. There has Eeen considerable discussion of th possibility of legis- lation designed to keep Americans from travelling On armed ships. This discussion has arisen since an- nCuncament was made of the new German and Austrian submarine policies. Just what legislation could ibe passed that would not conflict With repeated assertions of the right of Americans to travel the sea at will is question that has not been de- cided.
 It was said after the conference that the president discussed with congressional leaders the next step to be taken by the United States gov ernment if, as anticipated, Germany and Austria refuse to modify the new submarine policy they have an nOunced.
