THE CITY COUNCIL
EMPLOYS MR.. WHITNEY
Will Represent City in Suit Against Sea-
man & Quigg Which Has Been
Discussed for Past Year


sion Tuesday with all members pres
ent. Mr. Woldenberg, who has been in
serious condition since the first meet
ing in January, made his appearance
and took part in the proceedings.
Bills, which were fewer in number
than at any previous meeting, and
amounting to s77.o1, were ordered
paid.
The bond OF the State Bank, the
city's depository, for $4,000, was ap-
proved.
A communication from Kemp & Ba-
ker was read in which they agreed to
represent the city in the suit against
Seaman & Quigg for fee Of $500 to
carry it thru the lower courts, and an
additional $50 to carry it 70 the su-
preme court. The offer provoked but
little discussion as the council had
practically concluded to accept the offer
of w. F. Whitney at the last meeting.
The contract of Mr.. Whitney was
read and on motion was approved and
accepted. The agreement calls for
a $500 retainer so per cent OF first
$4,000 or fractional part thereof, in
case the city wins, and 10 per cent of
any sum above that amount. The city
is to pay all costs. The only objec-
ton raised was to the so per cent
clause. In case OF small judgment
the attorney will reap all the pecuniary
benefit.
The resignation OF Police Judge
Graham, handed in at the last meeting,
was accepted. He will probably be
reappointed at the next regular meet
ing when the ordinance, read for third
time and adopted, creating salary of
$25 for police judge, will be in effect.
The peddlers' and hawkers' ordi-
nance passed to its third reading and
was adopted.
A committee, consisting Of Hale,
Snyder and Kugelman, were appointed
to devise ways and means Of increas-
ing the revenues of the city.
Poor old Towser, mans most faithful
fried. was given an awful "bawling'
out. He was condemned in ffty-seven
ways. Some said he was too numer-
Gus, others that he was careless in his
habits, especially during the deep
SHOWS; that he was a trespasser; that
he barked too long and loud and dis
turbed the community. The marshal
was instructed to do all he could to
relieve conditions and strictly enforce
the ordinance relating to dogs. The
dog pound will be put in shape and
all dogs whose owners fail to pay the
license required will be gathered up
and impounded. They will be held
48 houis when they will put out of ex-
istence unless some one pays the tax
and one dollar penalty imposed.
The building committee were in
structed to have the Jail repaired and
put in habitable shape, and Mayor Day
has announced his intention of going
after all offenders against our laws with
sharp stick. Let it be so.
The clerk was instructed to request
the Great Northern railway to have the
big heap Of sawdust removed from the
north side OF the park. Also to sug-
gest that the old half-burned restaurant
added nothing to the beauty Of the
landscape.
The contract for the city's printing
for the year beginning April 1st was
awarded to the Leavenworth Echo, its
bid being the only one submitted.

the resolution for an embargo on
the shipment of munitions 20 the
European belligerents, today de-
clared I'm an authorized interview in
the Davenport Democrat in favor Of
the reelection of Prest Wilson.
Although a lifelong democrat. Mr..
VOllmer was for "A time identified

propagandists who bitterly assailed
the presidents international policy.
one of the most prominent Amer
leans Of German nativity in the
country, Mr.. Vollmer welded a big
influence with Americans OF Ger

man descent In his statement to-
day he expressed regret that he felt
compelled TO part company vita
those who had expressed the hope
that COMMUNICATIONS should voice
a united protest against the party
in power. "Our first duty" he de-
clared. lis TO this country and our
political allegiance should be de-
cided by the issues OF most concern
to this country. And hence 1 feel
that il is my duty as an American
citizen and a democrat TO cast my
vote for the democratic national
ticket at the coming election
From the time when his name
was first used in connection with the
candidacy for the presidency,
have asked my friends Of the ma
tiOnal German alliance, the Amer
lean Independence union and the
embargo cOnferenc what positive
assurance they have, if any, that
Mr.. Hughes would be more truly
neutral as we understand the term,
than Mr.. Wilson has been.
II have watched all OF their at
tempts to secure such declarations
and / have waited until these, the
closing hoors OF the campaign for
them TO ge: something more salts

they have nothing, said either in

BOOST IN PRICES
international News Service:


CHICAGO. Nov. Investigation
of an alleged combine Of grocers and
jobbers was started today by Hinton
G. Clabaugh, head of the local
bureau of the federal department of
justice, following revelations which
he said indicated an attempt to con-
troll prices in at least four states OF

The investigation is in connection
with a similar one under direction
of c. +. Clyne. United States district
attorney, who today had before him
reports of small cooperative grOcers
throughout the state who alleged
that they have been boycotted by
members of the National and State
Wholesale associations. because they
retail at low prices.
If the evidence warrants il, the
federal grand jury which cOnvenes
here November Sth. Will be asked %
investigate.
Meanwhile a city council commit
tee today is hearing charges that
eight commission brokers are hold
ing in storage here 475,0O0, 600 eggs.
The brokers accused, however, deny
that they are in a combine and say
they have fewer eggs in storage now
than at this time last year.

NEW LONDON. Conn. Nov. .
Amidst the tossing pillows Of the
mid-Atlantic funeral services will be
held for the crew of the lost Ger
man merchant submarine Bremen
when the Deutschland goes on her
voyage home.
Now that they are certain that
the Bremen went TO the bottom the
crew of the Deutschland decided to-
dag that the most appropriate way
they could give farewell hOnors TO
the seamen on their Inflated sister
submarine would be to hold a
memorial service at sea. Conse-
quently it was decided that a laurel
wreath. bound with the German
naval ensign. should be cast upon
the waters while prayers were said.
1t was first suggested that the
words "auf weider sehen" (nntii We

blem, but some objected to it.

between the $1,000, 900 state pier
and her mother ship. the Willehad.

Everything was. ready for the i'm

undersea liner carried jewels, but
this was denied. However, it is GER
tain that she carried quantities of

Capt Paul Koenig was anxious to
get his boat reloaded and started on

weather prevents il. 1t is possible
that the Deutschland may remain
here only a week.
Wireless is Sealed.

underwater freighter has been seal
ed by United States naval author
tiles so that she cannot communicate

Capt. KOenig said he expected to
have no difficulty with the customs

be over the securities carried by
the ship. he said.
