criticised by Mayor Lane. -Took
up proposal to change

"oil buriler. . " ' ' "
Shelved letter on Fourth-street

Passed ordinance giving heat-'-Ing

company. - . . '
Tired of work and adjourned
with quantity pf business , un;
, touched.- , -'
Had the council passed' the under
ground wire ordinance put up to it yes
terday afternoon the electric companies
-would have been exceedingly glad, for
under its provisions there would be very
little change in existing conditions.
It was W. R. Roberts, deputy fire
marshal, who spoiled what waa evident
ly a clever scheme. He asked permla- I
slon to speak and did So with a yen-'
gesnce. ' "This ordinance exempts
street light and railway power wires,"
said he. "There's about 4,000 volts
running loose from those wires now.
Why should they be exempt? The fire
limits - are from ailssa to Columbia,
but this has a district from Madison to
Glisan, which would exclude the city
-balloon whose wirtng-the-chlcf and 1
have submitted a report."
Bennett said it was apparent this
measure would defest the purpose of
the underground wire .movement- " '
Masters had previously moved that
the ordinance be passed without ' read
ing, "as it had bea taken up and thor
oughly discussed by the street commit
tee." There waa no second. ' .
Oray Bubmlta Amendment.
dray submitted sn amendment pro
viding thatJthe measure should not ap
ply to companies holding franchises at
present. He said this wss to give
"companies having priority of franchise
priority- of right of way." :
The .'councilman' -didn't understand
what that . meant, and' Roberts was
asked if the superintendent of the fire
alarm system had .approved the ordl
oance t -. .-.- v -
"He "never saw it until yesterday
noon, he replied.
It was so. evident' that the scheme to
force through - an - ordinance openly
friendly - to the- electric companies had
been exposed that it went back to the
street committer
Chetrman .Vanghn of that committee
asked him if the street light wires were
exempt from the ordinance. He had to
admit that he didn't know, so it wss
evident that the street committee didn't
Itnqw any too -much about the measure.
" Death to Chinese Ola Mills.
The license, of five Chinese gin mills
on Second street were ordered revoked
and the unexpired license fees returned.
The doors of these places will be closed
at once.' Thla la the tardy finale of
the crusade against Chinese gin.

CRITICISES DEVLIN
Mayor Xne Again Attacks Auditor's
- Method of Xeeplag- Books. ,
Mayor I-ane at noon todsy completed
his Investigation Into the validity of a
Claim for 112ft alleged to be due Roth
child Bros., wholesale liquor dealers,
for an unexpired license. '
The result of his scrutiny directly
contradicts the statement made ' before
the council -yesterday by Councilman
Msstere. .. '.,.
In a letter to the council the mayor
called attention to the clslm which had
been put in in the name of Carroll Rob
inson, speaking particularly of its ex
treme Irregularity.
Masters said that the Judiciary com
mittee, of which he Is chairman,- had
recommended the payment as a power
of attorney from : Robinson, giving
Rotbojilld Bros, the right to receive the
money, had It been presented to IL
The mayor holds up this Instance to
prove his statement concerning the
methods of keeping the city's books.
In a letter to the council he declared It
is Impossible to learn whether the city
has been robbed or . not. He severely
criticised City Auditor' Devlin's depart
ment.
Masters waa evidently In error whan
he marie his talk to the council. Ac
cording to the documents now la . the
mayor's desk, Rothchlld Bros, asked
that the money be paid back to them,
as Robinson, their agent, had left the
city.-and. the saloon temporarily closed.
on November the clslm was recom
mended for payment by the Judiciary
committee and on November 7 Its re
port was adopted by the council.
Masters plainly said the committee
had Robinson's power of attorney be
fore It at that time. .But according to
the paper filed with the auditor, Robin
son did not. sign the power of attorney
until November 13, six days after the
council had ordered the payment of the
tilt to' Rothchlld Bros. The voucher
la In blank and there Is not a line .on
It to enow why the. claim- ehould be
paid, although all the papers pertaining
to tne matter are clinched toeether.
. "That's simply tffce- Instance of what
I've ' been saying," cried Mayor Lane
when he had received the power of at
torney from the , auditor's office; and
given a receipt ror it. - - . . .
City Auditor Devlin, In reply to the
JetterPf the mayor to the council, de
clares that be will put hie account
against those of any cltyllnthe coun
try, and that the mayor by his own

The mayor has transmitted the ranlv
of Clark eV Buchanan) hla experts, to
the criticisms of the way a and meana
committee. It was referred to the spe
cial committee appointed to Investi
gate both reports.
Mr. Devlin says the mayor la making
the chargee against his department for
political effect. "They are vicious and
untruthful, and by hla own admission
to the council he doesn't know anything
more about accounting " than to say It
waan't necessary for the experts to
count the cash In the treasurers vaults.
said he this morning. ,"A child might
aa well say that the city had been
robbed or tioo.ooo."
"I'm doing It for self-preservation, as
I have to sign all the warrants and am
held personally responsible," said the
mayor.
In the first report made by Clark and
Buchanan there was a paragraph com
mending the eudltor'e office. Mr. Dev
lin saye Clark told him the mayor or
dered this stricken out, and 1n "the final
report filed with the mayor and by him
with the council It doea not appear.
'I told Clark that his contract did nor.
call for any report on an official, said
Msyor Lane today. "He had filed his
first report with the sudltor, then with
me. snd that was not right, as I had
ordered the Investigation. I hsve noth
Ing personally, against Mr. Devlin." -
