ASHLEY OmCBt 41 Mala CTHCTHI 'FLASH IN THE PAN' CLAIM1EADERS Only One of Conferees on Withdrawal Plan Stands up for Move Now. Washington, July 10. The scheme of Republican progresslvenes In the House of Representatives to launch a fresh campaign against Presulc.it Taft by means of a petition asking him to withdraw as the Republican nominee, proved to be a "flash In thJ pan" today. When pinned down to it the members who had participated in the conferences which developed the Idea hastily Joined the 'don't mention my name" club. Those who slarte-1 the movement abandoned their effoi to show the participation of the iBgular Republicans in It, and it was clearly apparent that there was little support coming from that direction.

One of the participants in the informal conferences, Representative Rolln it. Rees. of Minneapolis, publicly admitted his share In the proceedings. He added that he had a pet1-tlon aimed at Mr. Tuft, una he mado it public, coupled with the following statement: "My scheme was to appeal lo President Taft's patriotism and well known love for 'party To be successful my petition would necessarily have to be presented to him by those who were his political adherents ut the time he the nomination.

1 had no thought that If other progressive meinbei-s would make much Impression on him hut it ni0nipi1 trt iha 1h-t if those who really have his welfare at heart would urge his views upon him that 1 tiled to set out in toe petition he would lake the step gesed or devise some other plan that would relieve the party trom Its present embarrassment. I did not intend that the press should gel hold of this scheme until 1 had fair opportunity to try it out, but since it has become known 1 prefer that a correct version be given. 1 had not proceeded far to solicit any but had submitted the plan to several colleagues for their suggestions. The heading of Mr. Bees' petition recited the charges of fraudulent nomination against President Taft freely made by the supporters of Colonel Roosevelt.

It proceeded on a new trac, however, by asserting that whether the charges were false i.r true they nevertheless would an effect In the election, and that hi ihj minds of progressiv Republic ms they would result in the defeat of the Republican ticket.

After passing sixteen sections of an ordinance satisfactorily, council and the representatives of the Bell Telephone Co. disagreed on one vital point at the council meeting last evening at which time the question of giving the company the privilege of going underground with their mains, ducts and laterals was taken up and thoroughly discussed. The council claims that upon the permission being granted the company to under mine the streets for their condulta, and for the privilege of tearing up the streets, among other concessions, the company should not increase Its present rates of telephone service.

This clause was the main hitch, and annulled the passage of the ordinance until further action is taken. Mr. Rose and Mr. Badger, who hanuieu me situation in line styio lur me ijliI claimed luat me council ha.a no rigm to regulate otner peisonsa rates, and that was an injustice to uo so. Mr.

Kose claimea mat ms company would under no circumstances stand tor a rate clause being inserted In the ordinance the price ol labor and material is sieauiiy Increasing. Xtie precaution taken oy tne council and the uorough attorney, Mr. Davis, is to prevent excessive rates from being charged by the Bell Co. In the event the Consolidated telephone Co. went out of business, which would then give the Bell Co.

full sway In this locality. The matter was discussed for over one hour, different parts of the ordinance being amended to suit both parties. The plan of the company is to go underground on Chestnut street in the very near future where the trunk lines enter the station. The condition is such in that section that relief must be had for the betterment of the service and another line of tables will have to be erected to relieve the congestion Inasmuch as the ordinance failed to pass finally. Mr.

Badger explained the aerial condition of their wires and Mr. Rose handled the business end of the argument both doing their Very best to have council accede to the wishes of the company by allowing them to go underground. One point brought out at the meeting, which was in the nature of a sur prise, was the statement that the Bell Company do not own a single poll from Kingston corners to the L. W. station, using the Western Un ion poles all along the line.

In the beginning, It was the idea of council to eliminate the poles on Market street, but since the Western I'nion refuses to go underground at this time, the situation would still be a complex one. Until such time a the Western I'nion agrees to go along with the Bell Company, or until such time as the company refuses to increase It's rates, the conduit ordinance will probahly be at a standstill. Mr. McManus Informed the telephone men that the traction company, the gas company and the electric light company are governed by the rate clause and there is no reason why the telephone company should escape the bonding. The underground question has been before council for two years, but last evening was th nearest it came to h-Ing a certainty.

The company will probably now erect over head cables to care for their increasing business until such time as the matter Is again taken up. The Now Brick Question. The selection of the brick for the paving of the remainder of Pierce street occupied considerable time. At the last meeting the property holders in that section slirned for a continuance of the Clearfield Clay Working block for the street or any brick either than a shale block. The brick ,1 Il ol tier was the Standard brick mil ine block.

Mr. F. W. l'anz, who Is sales agent for the C. C.

W. blovk, spoke in favor of It's adoption. Messrs. Donohue and MonVs spoke in favor of the adoption of the hriek that stood the best test which was the Standard brick and tile. A motion by Heldrlcl; to grant the wishes of the property holders In using the Clearfield was Inst, nnd a like motion of Mr.

Heldrick to vote open ballot was lost. The secret ballot system In the borough Is not taken kindly to by many, who claim that municipal business should not lie tak en kindly to by many, who claim that Ynunloipal business should be open acting. A motion to vote for tho S. T. B.

was carried hv a vote of five to three. Mr. Donohue spoke in advocating the White Haven red stone In place of the concrete curbing which he claimed was Inferior In many parts of the horonrh. This motion was lost. On the election of a paving Inspector there was a deadlock on two hallo's between Chirles J.
