KOCIIESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE. TUESDAY, MAY 13. 1000 Your Law Committee, to which NEW TIME WILL TELLS HOUSE NEW CANADIAN TARIFF 'BUNK' SENATE PUSHES INQUIRY INTO CANNON FUNDS RUN TILL NEXT SEPTEMBER 28 people of Rochester to be heard a lawful manner upon this contrn. very. Qur attitude is one of eager, ness to give this city what it warri, not what someone thinks the ci'y ought to wart.

We "Very gladly wei. come this opportunity to vote on daylight saving. In accordance with the foregotre I am presenting a substitute ordin. ance whieh carries the identical visions of th? ordinance offered two weeks ao. and whicn contains further provision for a referendum to he submitted to the voters st th next November election, and for tha consideration of this substitute ordinance I ask unanimous consent.

reference to daylight saving and possibly it might have changed so that a majority favored it. He said that aince the city did not have it last year, and by providing for daylight saving this year, the voters this Fall would be In excellent position to determine what they preferred regarding advanced time in the summer months. Votes on Two Measures There was considerable discussion regarding the procedure of the council, as two identical measures were before the members regarding daylight saving for this year. was referred an ordinance introduced April 28 advancing stsndard time in the City of RoeneHter one hour between Mav 18 and September i'H. 1S30.

renpectfujly reports that a public hearing was held on Mav 6, which was very larKelv attended. The prevailing sentiment wss strongly in favor of the ordinance. A large number of petitions and letters has been filed with your committee and a straw vote hue been taken by two of the newspsnern of Rochester. The total number of votes so cant is of which 61.SK0 are for the ordinance and 19. WH against.

While undoubtedly there are many duplicates in these figures it is the belief of vour committee that the sentiment of Rochester voters Is now overwhelmingly in favor of the ordinance, notwithstnnding the fact that a similar ordinance was defeated bv a vote of approximately 35,000 to 29.000 at the election in 1M7. Your committee therefore recommends that the proposed ordinance be adopted. Minority lleport The report of Councilman Hamilton follows In submitting my law committee other records showing how- Cannon spent th 148,000. i At the same time, It was announced that a formal request Is to be addeased to United States Attorney Tut tie In New York asking the latter official to produce the correspondence and other reo-ordH, which Impounded at his order, show the relations between Cannon and JO. Goldhurst, bead of ths defunct Wall Street bucket shop, through which Cannon Is alleged to have tisded on margins.

Trade, Commons Informed by Speaker Continued from l'aice One Two reports were before the council with reference to the daylight saving Vice-Mayor Adler, chairman, and Councilman Foulkei submitted a majority re ning to do here this evening, but I may say that the Repuhhcan members are here to vote for the immediate adoption of davlight saving. This step is taken after a careful analysis of present public opinion. We "believe that a majority of the people of Rochester today desire the new time. However, In taking this step we do so with a very keen realization that we mav acting contrary to the wishes 'of the majority. Our findings may be wrong, and newspaper polls may be wrong.

I need not tell vou that a straw vote which preceded the last referendum on new time showed sentiment strongly favoring It. The ensuing' referendum showed the straw vote to he in error. This council will be faithless to its duty if It neglects to provide a regularly and lawfully conducted referendum st ths general election next Fall, and the Republican members of this council on behalf of public justice demand that such a referendum be held. If it Is a minority that, favors the old Eastern Standard Time, then that minority should be given in day in court. I challenge anv member of this council to deny, the friends of Standard Time their rights of referendum.

It may he argued that a constant straw vote and referendum situation will be before us each season. That I do not know. New factors may have arisen that may have altered majority sentiment. Rut change or no change the Republican members of this council will not be a party to abusing the rights of all of the Councilman Hamilton asked if the two measure could not be em Find Body of Child Slain After Attack Continued from On The immediate result of the tele-fram vn lh lssuanca -of a subpoena for tha appearance before th commlttea on Wednesday of Miss A.

Miss Burroughs was ordered to bring with her any correspondence, cancelled checks, or Ottawa, May 12-Special Dispatch) Declaring that the new tariff proposed by the MacKenzio King government is filled with port for the Law Committee, which favored the adoption of daylight saving measure without any provision for a referendum. Councilman R. Andrew Hamilton submitted a minority report, and with It an ordinance providing for day Unlit saving for this year on the bunk" J. Chaplin, a cabinet minister in the last Conservative bodied In one, and Vice-Mayor Adler said that he felt, the council was of one mind on the proposition and suggested that the vote be taken on the Stanon ordinance and then on the Milne ordinance, and In effect the provisions of the substitute ordinance of Councilman Hamilton would be fulfilled. This suggestion was satisfactory to Councilman Hamilton and he withdrew his ordinance and unanimous action on the other measures followed.

The repor of Vice-Mayor Ader and Councilman Foulkes follows: Dca Moines, Iowa, May 12 CP The body of 9-year-old Evelyn Le, who had been assaulted and slain, was found this afternoon in a wooded glade at the edge of Des Moines. The child, missing since late Saturday, had been choked to administration, declared In tha House of Commons this afternoon minority report I desire to slate that. I have been asked bv my Republican associates In this council to make a statement in respect to daylight saving. This statement represents complete, agreement between us, and I believe represents fairness to all of the people of Rochester. 1 do not know what the non-Republican portion of this council is plan 'death, police said.

They character sunie basis as the Stanton measure, but made provision in his ordinance for a referendum. Councilman Hamilton pointed out that there was a question what the sentiment of the city was with ized the slaying as the act or a fiend, for whom they started an ex. tensive search. that the scheduled which the government claims are aimed at the United will have little effect on trade with that country. "I've talked to Ameiican steel manufacturer since the new tariff was announced and they are not worrying a bit," he said.

"For Instance, the new tariff puts steel for making saws on the free list under the British preferential tariff, but we do not buy any such steel from Britain and haven't for 20 years, because it. is much more satisfactory to deal with American firms which have established plants in Canada." He said that on goods Canada Imports from the United States the schedules remain the same on 387 items, are lowered on 105 and Increased on only 70. "You can't atop trade with the United States that way," he declared. Let our Furs B.FORMAN (D.
