Schmidt Demands Right to
Pass on Purchase of
Two Patrols.
ORDINANCE is ADOPTED

The power of the city administration
to enter into contracts for purchasing
supplies without prior sanction by the
city council was questioned at meet
ing of the council last night, when gen
eral ordinance No. was called for sec
ond reading.
The ordinance provided for a ratihca-
ton of a contract for the purchase of
two police patrols entered into between
the city and L. H. Colvin, agent for
the White Automobile Company, for
$500.
Gustav G. Schmidt, president Of the
council asked why the council was not
called upon to approve the contracts. He
said it was the duty of the council to
pass on all contracts for amounts ex-
ceeding $4,000 and also remarked that all
such contracts should be advertised and
let on bids after the prescribed manner.
IF members of the council do not
pass on such contracts we will be mere
fgureheads," said Mr.. Schmidt, "and #
such is the case I might as we'll have
a rubber stamp made with my name on
it and send a substitute here to use 1t"
NOT TRYING TO PUT
OVER ANYTHING ON COUNCIL.
Councilman Carnefx said he did not
believe they were trying to "slip any
thing over on the council" He also
said the ordinance had been presented
tc get the approval Of the council. Mr.
Carnefx said the only feature OF the
contract he did not like was the fact
that the purchasing members of tile
administration promised Colvin to buy
the patrols without first asking the
sanction Of the council. The ordinance
was passed after the discussion
Ordinances amending anu correcting
errors in general ordinance No. II were

In an ordinance passed at a previous
meeting salaries of various city en-
ployes were fixed, two members of the
engineering department being classed as
"A" and "B." The salary of a. was
set at $1,000 per year and "B" at S1,020
Through a mistake both Of the men were
classed under A. The superintendent of
street gas lighting had been left out al
together His salary was fixed at 81 Loo
a year.

wits together. One thing was clear to
me. however-mOnsieur was going to
act with great rapidity and secrecy
~secrecy-that was the main point; for
If he were sure / had the stones, he
had only to get a search warrant and
he'd have the stones.
Mrs. .Jimmson came to MY study
while l was bordering all this and
asked me: what about lunchY" l
sent her round to the delicatessen and
told her to buy everything she thought
she'd like to have.
The moment she was out Of the
place. l tore open the bunch OF hya-
cinths. The diamonds were there.
'Good Lord" l said as ! saw them.
The things were a calamity.
I rolled them up again, but l must
get a new bunch Of hyacinths; l must
do something's must act-I must get

must at least ask her what she wanted

could get them back to Mrs. Delario
herself, which didn't cen likely in the

The Telegram.

A telegram in the hand is worth two
special delivery letters you can't find:
20 I tore open the yellow envelope.
Now, 1t is a habit of mine to read the
signature before the message. The
signature was my brothers name. My
brother is not a telegraph person. ex-
ccpt for bad news. and the sight of his
name gave me a shock. and for a good
half.minute / could not go on with the
message. But when I got the courage
to face what had happened In the fam
ily, this is what appeared:
! II am obliged to ask you to come to
Philadelphia tomorrow on urgent bust
ness. Take the train leaving New
York at IL a. m. I will meet you at
Broad Street station"
1 think the first thing that struck
me as queer in ii was the large num-
Der of words-wOrds that no expert
! enced business u using Geographic
! communication all the time, would
have put in-the "to's' and 'the's;'
and then, 81 am obliged to ask"-my
brother would say, Must ask you
come" or please come"
. The second queer thing was saying
he'd meet me when his Office is Just
around the corner from the station
and he knows | don't expect him to
waste time standing about waiting for
q train that may be late.
The third queer thing was that there
$500 ~ hx,c;nacc nf nofnn he AOTyf6 no

business If his. he'd ask it as 4 favor.
It was tbrn thar my eye slid up to the
date aud [ saw il had been e n from
New York. Well, If he were in New
York, why hadn't he %telephoned me or
come up TO the house?
4 L wish ! could say it flashed over me
INSTANTLY that this was Il decOy de-
Eclutches, but it didn't flash at all
thought 1t queer. and l was puzzled;
but l am free to confess that if 1t had
been an ordinary business mans mes
sage. l should have packed my suit
case. put the diamonds In my stocking
and taken the train specified. But
while / was still wondering what my
brother could be wanting me for in this
p~eremptOry way, Mrs. JimmsOn
brought me the special delivery letter,
which, with triumph and pleasure in
her face, she said she had found un-
der the set tubs.
l pulled it out Of the envelope and
read:
Madame was seen by two witnesses
to carry away the package containing
the jewels referred to. If madame de-
