WATCHING FIGHT IN
 FOURTH
Opposition to Mayor Wilson Expected to Show Its ..
 Strength There

Prospects of a fight in the RepubE- can ranks in the Fourth district, when the caucus convenes tonight in the headquarters at State street and Col orado avenue, grew stronger today. Leaders of the Wilson and anti-Wil- son forces were said to be working g among their followers this morning in final preparation for the expected battle.
 -Ehe attempt to elect delegates to the primaries who are hostile trA the Hyor will mark the first occasion in ten years that open warfare has fared up within the Republican ranks In the
 past there have been a number of petty squaibbles, but these have been settled peaceaJbuly without creating a
 permanent rupture. Tonight, how ever, things are expected to be differ ent, and the forces working against the mayor are sure to make a deter mined effort to seize the political reins in the Fourth district at least. Most of the opposition will probably be aroused by the followers of John A. Leonard, head of the Fire Comnlis- sioners, who is now out of town on Q two weeks vacation. MT. Leona rd has said that there would be an inde- pendent ticket in the field.

The Police Department are in re- ceipt of another letter signed by the secretary of Harvey Hubbell, Maurice R. Perry, which comments the work of Captain Peter Hall of the West End Precinct in the efficient way that he has been handling the crowds at the open air concerts given at the open air arena on State street lately. The letter particularly refers to the way that quietness has been main tained during the playing of the band.
 A concensus taken among proni- nent citizens this morning by a Times reporter in regard to the work of the Police Department during the last month brings out that the work of the department has been par ex- ceIlence of late. Special credit was given to the Traffic department in the capable manner in which they have handled the traffic of the city since the large increase of busses that flocked to this city since the trolleys ceased operation. Superin- | tendent of Police Flanagan who rounded out his first month as su- perintendent yesterday said this
 morning that everything in the. de
 partment was running smoothly anG that no complaints had been receiv. ed

WHERE IS CITY
 TO GET MONEY?

From what source can the city se- cure S7,50O to pay additional police expenses which were incurred by the Burns raids, on April IT?
 This is a question which may be settled at the meeting of the Board of Apportionment scheduled for o'clock this afternoon, but at the present time the problem appears to be hard one. The money must be paid, however, and the members of the board will probably decide wheth- CT or not the cash may be taken from some miscellaneous fund and used for the Burns payment.
 The bill of the Eastern Engineer ing company, which calls for ESQ., 1s3.96 for tearing down the Steeple- chase bridge, will also be presented to the board this afternoon. On Aug. 6, when the bill was before the board, a committee was appointed to investigate it's correctness. This has been done and it is expected that the bill will be approved by the committee. Payment will probabl~- be approved by the board.

 "We observe in the morning paper a statement that Judge Banks has suggested changes in the ordinance which he has held to be illegal as a means of obviating it's unlawful and objectionable features.

 Judge Banks in his memorandum of opinion held that the ordinance in question was void as being in con hiction with the statutes of the state in regard< to the regulation of motor vehicles.
