Washington, Jan. 22.--The conrnan .
dor Of the American gunboat fired
upon by Chinese rebels reported today
that he returned the fire and siIenced
it.
Secretary Daniels gave out the fol
lowing:
"on Jan. ", at 9 am, the
United States gunboat Monocacy,
while cruising about fifty miles
above Yochow, on the Yangtse
kiang river, was fired on by in
trenched Chinese and was hit a
number Of times. n. L. ~o'Brien,
chief yeoman, was fatally injured
and w. N. DonneIly, seaman,
slightly wounded. The fire was
returned BY the Monooacy and ST.
fenced.
ut is believed that the Chinese
were bandits"
The foregoing is a paraphrase of the
official report from the commander OF
the gunboat.

American legation on the attack upon
the Monocacy, the American consul at

sells heretofore have been the objec-
ives of snipers, the consul points out.
the Monocacy was the target of a well
lirected attack. The volleys began
fifteen seconds after the first shot was
ired and continued until the return
ire drove off the attacking forces.
At least six foreign merchantmen
and two war vessels have recently

verbal debate on the flour OF Council as
was predicted 10 THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL last night. The contract. how
ever, was defended by Councilman Kane
who insisted that as City Solicitor
Bayard had sanctioned the contract and
advised the Health Department to enter
into 1t. the city would have to pay the
bill unless fraud could be established.
Mr.. Kane said that while IL was bitter
doze for Council. they would have to
pay the bill.
Councilman Robertson. who presented
the resolution. said in reply to Mr..
Kane that the law on the subject was
plain. He read extracts of the law
which stated that the contracts should
be awarded for the collection Of gar
bage a on a three-year basis.
The original law empowered Council
TO make the award for that period Of
time, but 1t was amended. he claimed,
when the Legislature empowered the
Health Board 10 make the award in the
manner now prescribed by ordinance
This. he contended, showed plainly that
the contract would have to be for a
period Of three years.
Furthermore, he stated that Council
at the conference with the Health De-
partment week ago last night had
stated they would finance the Health
Department in the matter IL the con-
tract was legal. At that time, he added
the impression every member OF Coun-
ell had was that new bids would be

Another case cited by Mr.. Davis Of
exorbitant rents was that Of two aged
sisters, SO and s. years, who had lost
their husbands in the Spanish-Ameri-

excuse for ordering them TO move the
fact that they owed Si.70 back rent. In
addition he raised their rent from sii

without a dissenting vote empowering
George 7. Lyon. president Of Council
to appoint committee, OF four citizens
to act as an advisory committee to set

President Lyon be chairman Of this

The question Of increased rentals was
brought up by Councilman Cathcarl
who spoke Of the conference held on
Wednesday evening with Mr.. Ford. lie
suggested that Council take some ac-
tion on the subject Councilman Rob
ertson then presented the resolution
providing for the appointment Of the
advisory committee.
Following its adoption Councilman
johnson moved that +. NJ Davis, presi-
dent Of the bipartisan League, be
granted the privilege Of the floor. Mr..
Davis said that while ne did not know
what his organization could do, they
desired 10 cooperate with City Council
and were willing to donate the services
of stenographers, notary public, the
use Of their Offices, typewriters ana
automobiles TO the Councils advisory
committee in its work
Councilman Robertson asked Mr.. |
Davis II the report that enemies Of this !

curing homes here was correct. Mr.. |
Davis replied that while investigation
of this report was not finished. 10 ap- |
peared as If the reports were true. Mr.
Davis also said that at the present time /
there are about II vacant dwellings in |
this city for which the owners are de-
manding $500 a month in advance as
rental One owner of house in Ship |
ley street, near Ninth street, Mr.. Davis
said. had refused to rent his property,
although il is unoccupied.
Mr.. Davis refuted the statement that
the Voters Non-partisan League was
shielding the beats, who refused to
pay rent. and cited an instance where
a man who had endeavored TO get out
OF paying $40 a month rent for a house
he had rented was found on inves-
tigation TO have written a letter some
time ago Offering TO pay $40 a month
for the house.

Mr. Davis then proceeded 10 cite case

acted in behalf Of the working people

that one Italian house owner who had

months contract for the collection OF
the garbage here.
He added that the contractor receiy-
ing the contract for eleven months or
his bondsmen would not and could not
be held responsible for the failure OF
the contractor TO do his work. and that
in offering the resolution he was trying
TO safeguard the interests Of the city.
Mr.. Ward said he felt as though the
awarding OF the contract on an eleven
months basis was going TO cause
trouble.
City Councilman Cathcsrt explained
that at the conference with the Health
Department last week. the councilmen
had told the Health Board members
that Council would stand behind them
in their actions If the contract entered
into was legal He referred to DR.. r..
E. Ellegood, president of the Board OF
Health, being advised to advertise for
bids for a three-year contract minus
the two months that would have
passed.
Under the contract awarded this
week, the new collector is to start
work on next Monday. Just what
course will be pursued now in the
matter is unknown. but it was evident
last night that City Council would re-
