: 'Tha chief Intereat In the discussion
after It waa apparent that the-lum
ber company would loae out waa th
debata between Baker and Mayor Lane.
' Halter aroaa and explained that ha did
not believe the mayor Justified, In
writing Ma. letters: to the people as
' i ha did. ' Baker aaid tha people are led
to believe that the councilmen are a
'.at of grafters; that they are ready
at all tlmea to give away the city's
rights, and finally, that he personally
-waa sick - and - tired of aucn insinua
tions and wanted the mayor-to ahow
hla evidence that he ever did anything
'that could be so const rued.
' Baker apoka at length onca ha waa
fairly started and defended hla actions
in tha council - He said that never by
ward, thought or 'action had ha done
- an;
tha .ria
, teraplated voting for- tha vacation of
the streets. He Closed by calling upon
'Mayor- Lane to bring . forth- proof
against hlmaelf or any other council
man to tha effect that they had frit
tered away tha cltya -' interests or
'. rights willfully, and unjuatly.
Then Mayor . Lane came back. Ha
aid , that - the council- haa for years
been rlvlna awav cut Dronerty ' witn
out getting anything In. return. -He
nolntnd out instances Where tha coun
rllmen have allowed obstructions to be
'placed "on tha sidewalks. Then the
mayor grow mora specific. ;
' Mayor CaUa Bluff. ' '
"I did wrlle to tha people calling
UDon them to attend more cloaely to
tha af falra In which they wera -vitally
Interested and I will continue doing
a." ha aaid. '1 do not aee mem com

following this Uakea arose and flung
hla last retort. - , .
"And I will tell you right now that I
will stand up and aay what I have to
ay and no peanut politician will
frighten roe, either."
In tha course "of Baker's remarka ha
referred to tba "majority" and, 'minor
ity" partlea of the council. These
lerma have often been used, but never
officially. There haa always been an
evasion of tha terma by the councilmen
and Vaughn called on Haver to ex
plain their meaning, liaker stated that
the malorltv rry was composed of
10 snAnibra and tha minority of five.

questions, the former In opposition.

R. I. Tnman was granted tha cour
tesy of the floor to ba heard on tha
vacation of tha atreeta, but soon came
lo a difference of opinion with tha
mayor and retired considerably warm
under the collar. Inman aaid that ha
defied, anybody to ahow where he or
hla oompany had attempted to iae any
thins: from the city without giving i
Just return. He aaid that ha and t'oul
Catholics of New.-.York, -Especially

have asked the people to more cloaely
watch their rights. I will continue to
do ao." '"'. '
Baker than resumed by sajrlng that
"so far as his deeds In the council
wera concerned he had nothing to be
ashamed of. He aaid that he wanted
the mayor to aton making publio senti-
xnen came tne ciimax. &aaer
- menL
-aaid that
inslnuatln
If the mayor did not stop
g ha would cau upon him
to prove his cnarges.
This did not dismay Mayor Lane. He
said: ' " .-
"Notwithstanding, I, will make It ex
tremely difficult for the corporations
to secure from tha representatives; of
wlint tha company had to offer In ex.
chance . r .
inn.an said tna mayor waa weu satis-
fled with tha proposed exchange and
would recommend It to tha council.
Uri la wlmra Inman and Mavor Lane
agreed to disagree, for Mayor Lane aaid
that) he bad not promised anything or
tna Hurt. ua ixuw ij
nurnrtaerl that the com Dan V would Of
fer anything In exchange and that he
thought such ' action commendable.
Mayor Lane aaid that he told tha lum
ber - men mat it everyining was ait
rlaht after ha had made an examine
tlon he would suggest that their offer
be conaldcred.
Inman Immediately replied that he
was willlnar to leave It to the council
and the people whether he had mlarep-
relented tne tacts, ana graooea aim net
and left tha council chamber. The
reason Mavor Lane did not recommend
the exchange waa because tha property
which tha lumber company wanted to
rot it on the city is that anected by tna
East Sixth atreet fill, a project that
will cost the mill ownera something
like $26,000. Becauae of tha heayy aa
sevsmenL Mayer Lane refused to have
anything to do with tha proposition.
George 8. Shepherd took an active
part -In the discussion, appearing In be
half of tha lumber company, lie waa
the wit of tha occasion and kept hla
auditors In good humor throughout hla
talk. He said that tha man who Is
always talking about working for tha
people never cares anything for the peo
ple save to work them. - Ha also evaded
Mavor Lane's stricture on personalties
and landed a neat one on hi honor
which was returned ..with' Intereat by
Mayor Lane. - .-.-.,., -.- ... t

Shepherd started -out by saying that
there tied been much buncombe written
about tha propoaltion affecting his
company When he waa called to order.

replied, mean just anybody whom it
may concern."
Later on Shepherd aaid that the epis
tles had undoubtedly aided certain can
dldatea for office, meaning RUshllght,
who was defeated for the nomination
for county aaseasor 111 last week's pri
maries,, when Mayor Lane turned tha
trick by saying:
"Ton. of course, refer to Candida tea
for congreea, Mr. Shepherd."
Shepherd waa defeated in tha primar
ies for tha nomination for congress.
After tha council adjourned, .one man
who had been an interested spectator
from the aallerv remarked aTa he came
down the marble stairway: . .
"It hits been -a most enjoyable after

Hla eminence Cardinal Michael Logue,

primate. Cardinal Logue Is a man of
great learning and la renowned for hla
piety. He doea not mix in Irlah poll

hla Influence felt when he deema It nec
essary for tha publlo good. Hla almost
boundless Influence among tha Irlah peo
ple waa recently Illustrated In a atrlk
log manner. He objected to tha policy
of one. or the Ulna rein party organs
wnlch editorially spoke In favor of
forcing tha prlesta out of politics. Car
dinal Logue denounced tha paper, and
hla mere denunciation waa sufficient to
drive tha paper'a readers away to ouch
an extent that It waa found no longer
profitable to run It
Since announcement waa made that
Cardinal Logue waa to come to this

The auctioneer's hammer was never more final and absolute
than our closing announcement today. We . have, reached the
nd of our contract. The few, remaining sets of a world-famous
library now in our hands are going rapidly Within a few days
they will all be GONE and we cannot obtain another volume at
any price. Our readers are aware that for several months we have
been direct distributors for the NEW WERNER 20TH CENTURY
Encyclopaedia Britannica
Our Cooperative Cluh olan has actually saved our subscribers FIVE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. But its very success has proved its undoing.
The publishers of the higher-priced English edition have secured the with
drawal of the American edition absolutely, in their favor. .This has left
, us as distributing agents powerless to supply sets beyond the few hun
dred now in our hands. We therefore give fair warning.
IT IS NOW OR NEVER !
