wlckHAM DEFIEs COUNCIL.
Engineer Refuses To Resisn-Pool
Halls Denied License.

Ames, April 9.-Without a superin-
tendent for the city's most '|portant
municipal institutions-the electric
light plant and water works-coupled
with a demand from the employees OF
the two departments for harmony
and a readjustment OF the wage scale,
and the fiat refusal Of j. Q. Wickham
to resign from his office as city engl-
neer, was the situation which con-
fronted the Ames city council, as a
result of the sudden shake-up in it's
unannounced session of last F'rida|
night.
Before an audience that packed the
city hall council chamber, City Engi-
neer Wickham demanded of the coun-
Gil that open and public charges be
made against him in substantiation OF
the. council action that called for his
resignation. The city engineer In
dramatic tones and with clenched fists
that repeatedly banged on the execu-
tive table. fayed the council members
for their CLOSED door policies. and
charged them with being lacking in
nerve to make open and public any
specific accusations against him.
~ have the moral courage to stand
up here before the public and l am
able to defend myself" said Wickham.
IF you have anything to say about
me, say it now, and don't go In pri-
vate session." demanded the city
engineer.
written before the council session OF
Friday night Superintendent A. F.
Hill offered an additional statement in
which he rendered his resignation ITO
take effect at this date without further
extension of time" After Mr.. Hill fiat
ly refused to remain as head of the
department until April 10, his resigna--
ton was accepted. The resignation OF
Art Mccoy. street commissioner, also
was rendered and accepted.
Perhaps never in the history of the
Ames city administration has there
been more interest displayed over a
council meeting, when the council
chamber was filled long before the
opening Of the session. Not being able
to secure even standing room in the
hall, many stood outside in an effort
to hear the proceedings. In addition
to the interest which has been aroused
over the shake-up,- many were inter-
ested in the councils final action on
the pool hall issue, which the Council
dismissed by accepting the report OF
the special committee asking that no
ordinance be adopted for the licensing

WOMAN'S RELIEF

Nearly 40 members of Chamberlin
w. r. C. met at G. A. r. hall for
the regular meeting last
Thursday afternoon After the
meeting was over complete sur
prise for the president, Mrs. Mabel
Carpenter had been planned.
The ladies donned their wraps and
all apparently were going home as
usual. Mrs. Smythc asked Mrs. Car
penter to go shopping with her and
after their departure the members of
the Corps quickly returned to the
hall, and two long tables were set and
were loaded with most delicious
supper. The affair being in honor of
Mrs. Carpenters birthday. A large
birthday cake decorated with candles
and ornaments was donated by Mrs.
George Green. The menu consisted
of scalloped potatoes, salad, tea bis
cults, cake and pumpkin and lemon
pie and coffee. At six o'clock the
lights were turned out and we heard
the we'll known voice of Mrs.
Smythe wondering if she had left her
spectacles up there. AS Mrs.
Smythe and Mrs. Carpenter entered
the hall 40 members of the Corps
rose to their feet and greeted them
with cheers, and the lights were turn
ed on disclosing the loaded tables. To
say that Mrs. Carpenter was surpris-
ed hardly expresses it. A happy two
hours was spent at the table. Mrs.
Smythe acting as mistress of ceremo-
MES call on every one present and all
responded with either speeches, songs
or recitations.
1t surely was a red letter day for
the Corps, and we were all more than
glad to honor our much loved presi-
dent.
