ALDERMEN REBUKE
FELLOW MEMBER
Condemn Motives Of W. +.
Quinn i'm Backing Ordinance
Affecting Notaries.

The Board of Aldermen condemned
yesterday the motives which prompted
Alderman William e. Quinn, Republican,
to have introduced an ordinance prohib-
iting notaries public from soliciting busi-
ness on the streets and rescinded the
ordinance which was passed at the in
stance of quinn last summer The effect
of the boards action was to accuse
Quinn of seeking TO enhance his own
business by leGislating out of business
John ("Suspenders Jack") MCGEE. who
sought business as a notary in front OF
Quinn's offices by means of Sandwich"
signboard with which he patrolled the
sidewalk.
which the ordinance was rescinded pre-
cipitated a bitter all afternoon fight, dur
ing which the words liar" and CRATER"
frequently were shouted across the
chamber. The room echoed with cat
calls from the Democratic side when
Alderman August Ferrand. Republican
leader split with his following and vir-
tualy became responsible for swinging
the tide against Quinn.
The committee report. which was
adopted by the board by a vote of 40
to II, supports charges of questionable
motives made against Quinn by David
Hirshfeld. Commissioner of Accounts
several months ago as result Of the
Commissioners investigation of the cir
cumstances surrounding the Quinn ordi-
nance. Quinn subsequently brought ac-
81 oi,ocf II trch G
defamation of character, which action
now is pending.
Quinn made q persistent fight against
the committee report on the ground
that the action OF the Aldermen viz
tually assures n victory for Hirschfield
in court He charged that the Demo-
cratic majority was playing politics
against him for the purpose Of protect
ing the Mayors Commissioner OF Ac-
counts. Alderman William T. Collins.
Democ attic leader, denied any political
considerations
The ordinance was introduced by
Maurice A. Burke. Republican. at the
request of Quinn. because of which
Quinn was accused on the floor of hav-
ing lodged the responsibility of the
ordinance. To clear himself of that
charge Quinn reintroduced the ordi-
nance under his own name Immediately
after 1t was rescinded but IL was tabled
upon motion of the Democratic leader
The Republican leader produced the
sensation of the session when he revealed
statement he had made before the
committee that when he went to OBJ
tain n license at the State Automobile
License Bureau. which Quinn's office
adtoins. a man unknown to him stood in
the door of Quinn's office and solicited
his business. That. 10 Ferrand's mind.
indicated that his fellow Republican
really was in competition with MCGEE
and had an Interior motive in having
the ordinance introduced. Ferrand re-
Trained from voting on the committee
report. but his statement influenced two
other Republicans to vote against
Quinn.
