CITY COUNCIL NOTES,

I'll .uncil met in regular session
Monday evening. Being Independence
Day eve and important features of the
Homecoming being on the program an
attempt was made to contine work to
the essentials and adjourn in few
minutes.
Smugler aud w. Schroeder were
absent.
Two new saloon applicants were re-
ferred. They are for the Peterik and
Wilda places in the same block on
Buffalo street.
On motion of Schellin the council
reconsidered its action of week ago
in refusing license to the Gehbe place
and on motion granted the license.
This will leave all last years stands
licensed, except the old Cizek place
on Chicago street, total of 7o saloons.
Only Thorlson and Nc 'Keough voted
against the Gehbe license.
A resolution was introduced putting
the council on record as faVoring a
two hours 'lee-way" of saloon closing
on few extraordinary occasions in
each year. It was aimed at Monday
and Tuesday evenings particularly while
the home comers would be in town.
Everyone understood that the action
would have no force to amend the Il
O'Clock closing ordinance but would
lend the moral support necessary to
securing little less stringent enforce
ment on such occasions. Thorison and
Mc'keough opposed it, especially if it
was to include any occasions in the fu-
ture. Thorison thought it was an open
ing wedge to put midnight closing out
of commission. The attorney told
them the resolution had no more effect
than the "whistling of the wind"
1t was debated vigorously and finally
the mayor ruled it out of order.
Schuetze appealed and the vote was,
TO sustain the ruling; Bigel, McKeough,
Georgenson, Thorlsor, Schellin, Me
nauber, Fanta: To override: Revolin-
ski, Bouril, Schuetze, Sladky, Thomp-
son.
Then Schroeder came in and Schuet-
re made last desperate effort by NOV
ing that saloons be permitted to remain
open till > A. NJ. on July Bra and 4th-
Only four voted consistently with the
former vote. Thorison, Mckeough,
Bigel and Georgenson,
Labor claims were allowed and the
council adjourned till Wednesday eV-
ening.
The Board of Equalization, half OF
the council, met Monday as required
by law. Because the new assessment
of the city is not completed the board
adjourned to August 7th. Assessor
Goetzler with the assistance of f. a.
Crocker of the Tax Commission office
has been making an entirely new as
sessment of the city. The old valua-
tions are not used at all. A complete
description of every premises will APP
pear on cards. The roll will probably
be furnished for the adjourned meet
ing. A very busy ten days is in pros
pect when they do meet to equalize
the assessments.

PRESIDENT Is BUSY
AGAIN IN USUAL WAY.
Asks With Much Concern About Com.
plexion Of Next House.

PIc%IOn OF Next House.
Washington.-President Wilson was
back at his desk in the White House
after an absence of 2 months, pre-
pared to take up important foreign
problems which have been held in
allegiance pending the election as well
as domestic questions. These in
cluded the German submarine queS.
ton, the Mexican problem and mum
Der OF Federal appointments.
The President was expected to con-
slider first the submarine situation
which is admittedly serious. A sum
mary of recent developments in Ger
man submarine warfare, prepared by
the state department, was ready to be
LAID before him and, in addition, he
PR obably soon will confer again with
Ambassador Gerard on the situation.
The President has not even consid-
cred the Question of changes in his
cabinet, according to Administration
officials, who. characterize as prema-
tu'e reports that he had decided on
such changes. 1t is possible, how
ever, that one Or two cabinet Officers
may not remain after March 4.
The President asked first for the
latest information on the political
makeup of the House of Representa-
tives in the sixty-fifth Congress. He
was told indications from present re-
turns were that the Republicans
would have 217 members and the Dem
ocrats PIP with six members of other
parties.

HER WIT AND $250,000
SAVE CORPORATION
Bids Scales Plant Act for Self In
Making Munitions

How a woman's wit saved big COR
poration is the story behind a suit for
100000 now being brought against the

G. Ramsburg, attorney. of SO William

The woman is Mrs. w. Storrs Wells,

ket, and when Thomson, an accountant
in England, was called in to 90 over
the books of the Fairbanks people he
reported that a debt OF almost half
million dollars stood against them. TO
be paid at. once. He suggested that the
directors might sell the plant to the
British government and the McVickers
Company TO use in the manufacture
Of munitions. Sent TO England to nego-
tiate the deal. he found the govern
ment and the company ready to sign
the contract. and delayed only by the
fact that the day was Sunday.
That same Sunday in New York Mrs.
Wells had the idea that saved the cor
poration.
"A munition plant doesn't have TO be
owned by the British government" she
suggested. an loan YOU s260,OO0 II
YOU men will 40 out and raise the rest

Her plans were followed. and the
directors at once csbled Thomson no
