Tho offer that Is to be mnde contemplated the builders of tho pump making an allowance for the broken parts and It IB said on very good authority that tho offer Is In tho neighborhood of $20,000. The proposal may bo laid before tho City Council this evening by the chairman of the Flro Department committee, Kmll Mlchelbuch, who personally conducting tho business details consequent upon tho destruction of the fire truck, Chairman Mlchel- buch favors buying a duplicate ot tho truck that was destroyed as ha does not think the city would bo wise to buy a different make of truck, and thus cause confusion in the keeping ot men to operate both kinds oi pumpers. A representative of the Ahrens Fox came here morning to lay before city officials his figures as to the value of the salvage from the wrecked He will propose that a brand new truck be furnished or that t'm parts from the old pump er be worked Into another pumper which; he says, will be good as new.

WASHINGTON, May for American representation on two International commissions created at the arms conference la made under an agreement reported today between Senate and House conferees on the annual appropriation bill for the State and Justice departments. House conferees accepted Senate amendments appropriating funds for American delegates to tho commissions to consider revision of the Chinese tariff and to study the judicial system.

Including gradual abolishment of extra-territorial rights Another Senate amendment accepted by the House conferees appro priatea $20,000 for the allied debt funding commission. The House managers also accepted a Senate amendment Increasing the state department's confidential emergency fund from $100,000 to $400,000. This had been requested urgently by Secretary Hughes. A Senate amendment reducing the appropriation for the. inter-American High Commission studying pan-American financial co-operation and proposing to terminate its work a year was opposed by the House and finally eliminated, the Senate managers yielding.

Deadlocks on several amendments resulted in the conference. Among these, which are to be returned to House for final disposition, was the Senate, provision for recognition of Egypt and appointment of an Amerh, can minister. The House conferees contended this was new loglalation on an appropriation, measures which should have to be taken before the House. amendments returned to tho House include provision for the Fifth Pan-American conference at Santiago, Chile; for American representation on the International Hydrographlc Commission, the International confer- 4nce 'on maritime law and the com mission for revision of war laws, the latter at the arms conference. The Senate confereos receded from reduction In appropriations for the International Institute of Agriculture at Home and the British Claims Com- right of the city to as prosecutor under the Illinois prohibition law in restraining operation of places where tho liquor law Is being violated, IB questioned by J.

Tho two men am named as defendants In an Injunction suit in the City court started in the name of.former chief of police John Llnd, who signed the complaint. Judge Ya gor Issued a temporary Injunction without a hearing. Some remarkable points are raised In tho demurrers filed In the court in which it IB sought to have the Injunction dissolved.

Among these are that the city has no jurisdiction. This point Is raised several times in different ways. One Is that the corporation counsel who appeared as attorney In the case hafe no to do so In tho guise of a complainant in an Injunction case. But moBt radical of All the claims, after saying; that the city has no right or po-wer to prosecute in such a case the very validity of the Illinois prohibition law is questioned on the ground that it is violation of the very section of the Federal constitution under which' the Alton Water Company proceeded to get out Its injunction against the of property without process of law. One point much objected to in the demurrer is the fact that no hearing held before the temporary injunction was issued.

The question raised may foreshadow a testing of the city ordinance under which the city haa been collecting fines for violation of the prohibition law. There has been some doubt as to Us validity and it is well known that the Federal authorities have been refusing to prosecute under the Federal law any persons who had previously been fined for the same offense under our city ordinances. Offenders who thus had contributed to the city revenue by paying fines on pleas of guilty had been getting off cheap and were free from danger of being prosecuted under the Volstead law. Mutterings have been heard among men engaged in the booze business about the city ordi- Latter Will Probably Have An Increase of 75 in Enrollment, When Next Semester Begins.

Olberson showed tho merchants that they should examine, the Insurance contracts so they might know Just what protection they had and under what circumstances. One subject discussed last evening was that of carnival companies to the city. A committee was named to see the mayor and urge on him that the character of the companies licensed to appeiar here, bo Investigated and those of an unwholesome character excluded. Tho general run of carnival companies was condemned as demoralizing in every and should not be tolerated. The second Tuesday In the month was set as tho regular meeting time and a committee, was named to se cure pledges of members to attend.

With regard to the carnivals coming to the city tho merchants agreed thai there were many people who seemed to enjoy that form of amusement, ami that they must be allowed that privilege, but the Idea was to censor carnival shows, and If there was generally unwholesome flavor to them or" if the members of the troupe were of character such as woujd class them as undesirables, they should no be allowed to do business in Alton.
