Warns Against Methods.
AS upon previous occasion, Coun-
Gilman Jones warned against such
methods. lie said that nothing could
be gained by this procedure. and that

in conference with the Mayor and
the directors. tho whole matter might

MFR. Scaton saw a rapid disintcgra-

such tactics were continued. An
