PUNISHMENT
PROMISED FOR
ALL THEIR FDES
Itocall of Mayor Wlloy within nix
months, nn n punishment for hi re
fusal to bow to tho do m nn (In of
Councilman Vollmnr and his I dodo-camp,
Councilman Ilogardus, In
now said to bo tho aim of tho coun
cllmanlo Irniurrnctlonlitii, J tint how
tho gontloman from Ilia Fifth ward
expects to accomplish tho end In
tlow la a docp socrot.
Novertholoss, It lit open nocrot that
tho fruitless attompti to roinovo tho
obstaclos In tho war of appointing it
pollco chlaf of hi own ehooslng haa
not tho autocrat of tho Falrvlow ad
dition all hot up.
And every tlmo that Vollmor takos
a pinch of snuff from tho political
snuff box, (ho gentloman from tho
first ward obligingly, snoczo. Aa a
result tho air la full of weird sounds
nd no man who oppanoa tho will of
tho potontato la aafo.
Wbllo Running for tho mayor tho
gang hopes to dn a little business on
tho side. Tho pollco judga Is In bad
graco and tho pollco chief it of course.
Tho grudgo against tha pollco
judgo seems to originate In tho post
election demands tor the disqualifica
tion of Vollmor on tho ground that
ho was not a resident of tho Fifth
ward when elected. Now, tho Judgo
stood as a stono wall botweon Voll
mor and some of his political op
ponenta who wnntod to press tho dls
quallfactlon charges; as thoso on tho
inside know and as Vollmer has been
told. Hut Vollmer chooses to dis
believe and Includes the Judgo among
the' candidates for tho axa.
Everything la fair garni for tho
hunters, from tho mayor down o
tho humblest employee Mark How-,ard,-aUtnt
fire chief, fell afoul
of the machine last council meeting
whea ho made some comment on tha
'mayor's atafegleal victory over the
Insurrectionists that riled tho man
from orer the river. So domand has
been served on the powera that be for
Mark's head on a plattor In order
that Paul can do a Balomo dance.
Which reminds. Home Irrovor--nt
local wag, whoso sense, of humor
is almost sacrelfglous," has auggcttod
Vollmer In tho rolo of art attenuated
Falstatf declaring that' tho present
loanncas of th6 subject will soon bo
overcome by,bls dally swelling under
the pufflngTuVinttaenco of.'auttwrlty
whllo his satellite would natural
ly occupy the position .that carries
with it tho cap aid bolls and bladder-tipped
wand.
Oh terrlblo thought!
But, anyway, tho baltlo haa but
begun. Tho chassis for tho car of
Juggernaut that will lovol all cne

ing, tho "resoluters" announce
Whore the whoels and onglno will
come from la a matter still con
jectural but thoro Is evidently an
amplo aupply ot gas.
Dut tho latest "dope" In tho city
hall corrldora Is that Wilson Is but
a pawn In tho gamo. Tho real ob
jective is tho mayor.
Tha fifth ward dologato baa all
along allowed that ho had "nothing
against Chief Wilson." I'rlnclplo, not
personality, Is tho' guiding motlYAof

No ono doubts It, but aoveral of

taoveral requosis.of tho chlof, under
Mayor Crllslor's administration, for
a placo on the polldo force. The
place was not forthcoming, through
no fault of tho chlet'a, by tho way,
as It was Crlslor who put his- foot
down and refused to' sanction the

Refusing to accept tho warrant

assessor, lato yesterday served upon
tho county clork a demand for a re
vised warrant including tho two pro
hibited funds.
Tho assessor In his vlow ot tho
matter lnes up with tho county
court, tholr theory being that tho
Calkins ordor Is Invalid, in that no
court ot equity has tho power to en
join an officer from porformlng tho
duties that tho,Iaw places upon him.
Tho county clork said today that
ho would stand pat In tha position
taken by ndvlco of the district at
torney, who furnished an opinion
advising tho clerk to abide by tho
Injunction order.
According to tho legal advisers ot
tho county clork, that offlcor Is loft
no other courso excopt to oboy tho
injunction of tho circuit court, until
ho Is rolloved by a further ordor.
In other words, tbo opposing sldo
might seek by mandamus proceed
ings to compel him to issuo tho ro
vlsed warrant. Including tha two on
jolnod funds, and In case such order
was Issued ho might bo relieved
from tho commands of .the Injunc
tion. In tho moantlmo tho completed

assessor. Tho -law says thoy must

At loast that Is tho general opin

most ot tho officers admit that thoy
