In the ranks of the party, the central

According to the story, Ralph Moody,

' mttteeman to post the notices of the

THIEF CUT HAND
- ON STOLEN GOODS
In endeavoring to get away with $20
worth of carpenter's tools . from the
tool, house of John Al meter. Twenty
ninth and 8avler streets, last night, a
thief cut his hand so severely that his
doctor bill may aggregate considerably
more than the price of the implements
he secured.
The robber got Into the tool house by
means of the key-to the lock which he
. found hidden under a board. After
gaining an entrance the bold, bad man
threw the key away. It had served his
purpose. In feeling around In the dark
.the thief accidentally cut his hand on
a sharp chisel. This morning blood was
found all about tne vplnce and leading
out to the sidewalk. Saws and other
tools valued at 20 were taken.
When there la nothing else for mem
bers of the council to debate about they
usually manage to arouse a "laugh" by
accusing one another of making "grand
stand plays" to get tneir names in prim.
Such an Incident occurred .yesterday
when Councilmen Baker and Kellaier
got Into a controversy over the trans
fer of the liquor license of Paul Zimmer
man to H. Jacobson at Second and
Couch streets, which was voted down by
the council.
Flelschner, Mayer & Co. have a fac
tory at thla location, and the superin
tendent of the factory explained to the
council that the girls in his employ
would be unable to reach the streetcars
without passing through a crowd of
loafers and drunken men If the saloon
were established at thla corner. He
said there were already three saloons on
the corner at the intersection of these
atreeta and the corner on which the I
saloon waa intended to be situated was I
the only one left that the girls could.
use in going to tneir cars wunoui pass
ing roughs and toughs that congregate
in front of the saloons.
Councilman Baker wanted the matter
referred back to the liquor license com
mute for further consideration. Dr.
Cottel, chairman of the committee, made
a statement In which he said that al
though the committee had recommended
the issuance Of tne iranster, ne waa
willing to change his vote and refuse
the transfer.
Councilman Kellaher then arose and
nnkflri that the transfer be voted down.
Mr. Kellaher referred to the condition
confronting the girls passing on the cor
ner on their way home and said that
the transfer should not be allowed.
Mr. Baker Jumped up and said:
"All this hot air talk about working
girls Is bosh. You (turning to Kella
her) are simply making this play be
cause we have a number of newspaper
men here so that you will see your
name in print."
Kellaher replied by saying that he
waa sorry he had stolen Mr. Baker's
thunder, and acknowledged that he had
been guilty of an ungracious act In an
