One amendment. submitted by Ald.

The other amendment. introduced by Aid. Schermann. piovides that the companies shall replace cobblestone pavements with granite block. The Race amendment provides that the companies shall sell six tickets for 25 cents and thirteen tickets for 50 cents, which shall be good for rides on week days between the hour.

of 5 and 7:30 a. m. and 5 and 8:30 p. m. The alderman also wants universal transfers throughout the city.

As the ordinances stand universal transfers are to be given except in the district bounded by Twelfth Street and the river.

The concentration of both the republican and democratic primarys.campaigns into the next month is the probability. as the result of a move made yesterday by the former's central organization.

The republicans set the date of their prlMary for Monday. Feb. 25, and, though the democrats have planned to bold their primary March 1. they may be compelled, to change the date to one not later than Saturday. Feb.

23. In consequence of County Judge Rinaker's decision that the successor to Judge Ben Smith must be nominated by a printarT, the republican committee fixed on the last date the law permits. Then it decided to ask the legislature to authorize the election for this office this spring instead of in the fall. This will save the county $120,000. Attorney Wheelbck of the board of election commissioners began drawing the enabling bill which will be introduced into the house this week.

Democrats Must Follow Law of 'OS. If the democrats wish to enter a contest for this office they will have to get Within the terms of the primary law of 1898 and hold their primary. at least for nominations for this office, prior to Feb. 25. They could hold their city primary, on March 1, as planned.

but it would be more convenient to combine the two on the same date. Chairman O'Connell of the democratic central committee said last night he was willing to have the date changed to suit the occasion. Judge Rinaker also decided that the managing committees might nominate successors to the late Judge Gary and Sanitary Trustee Novak. But owing to a deficiency in the sanitary district law an emergency act empowering the governor to call a special election will be needed. The bill is being prepared.

Indorsement of Dunne. Commending him for the appointments he has made. the members of the regular Fifteenth Ward Democratic club adopted resolutions last night indorsing the candidacy of Mayor Dunne. The appointment upon which it was believed the mayor should be complimented especially was the selection of Joseph Straus as acting superintendent of horses in the fire department. Mr.

Straus is president of the club. There is an eligible list for his position and he may be displaced at time. It was therefore up to Mr. Straus to deliver the indorsement of his club. The plan in the Fifteenth.

it is said. is to give the indorsement to Dunne and the delegates to Harrison. In the Twenty-second ward, the democratic politics of which is controlled to a large extent by Fish Murray, the regular ward club passed out an indorsement of the mayor. At the Dunne headquarters in the Sherman house an indorsement by the West Side Italian Business Men's league was also announced. Seeks to Oust Homer Galpin.

State's Attorney John J. Healy said in the afternoon that he would take up in a few days the matter of filing a petition for quo warrant to oust Homer K. Oalpin from one of his official positionsstate senator from the Second district or clerk of the Municipal court. The matter was brought to the attention of Mr. Healy by H.

B. Meyers, a defeated candidate for clerk of the Probate court at the republican primary on Aug. 6 last. Attorney Thomas Bradley declared that the constitution clearly provided against any clerk or judge of any court holding a seat in the general assembly.

the Marshall Field Co. ordinance, the committee did not Investigate that subject further." The report then recites the evidence submitted to support the charge that Aid. Schermann received $20 from Anton Oiszewski as compensation for using Influence with Commissioner Bartzen to permit Oiszewski to complete his residence contrary to the building law. The conclusion is: Your committee fails to find that Aid. Schermann used his official position in this connection for any dishonest or ulterior purpose.

On account of the refusal of Samuel Gregsten to testify, the committee states that the charges relating to the selection of a. downtown- site for a police station were referred to the state's attorney. Various Charges Unfounded. The report then proceeds: From the testimony presented we find that Frank I. Bennett, alderman of the Seventh ward; Bernard W.

Snow. alderman of the Seventh ward. John Burns, alderman of the Thirtieth ward; and Ernest Diehl. alderman of the Thirty-third ward, did not violate any ordinances regulating the licensing of real estate and insurance brokers. From the testimony presented, and upon his own admission, we find that Henry Fick, alderman of the Ninth ward, permitted a slot machine to be operated at his place of business for gambling purposes.

That Bernard W. Snows aldeman of the Seventh ward. Introduced certain orders into the city cbuncil, which were passed by it, in favor of the White City Construction company, and that he received no compensation therefor. That during and after the passage of these orders he perchased stock in two concessions within the walls of what Is known as the White City. That we find no evidence to show that Aid.

Snow had any intention of wrongdoing in connection with these White City orders. We question, however, the propriety of public officials becoming interested in enterprises which require special favors from the council or the city. Kesner tease Left to Council. In the Keener lease affair the committee submits the offer made to the city by H. O.

Stone Co. on behalf of Mr. Kesner for the erection of the Municipab Court building in Michigan avenue. It is pointed out that the proposition accepted by the council called for a building containing 68,000 square feet, at a rental of annually. The committee then finds: After the lease was executed, it appears that it contains no clause regarding forfeiture or the payment of water tax, and that the new Municipal Court building, if constructed as called for by the plans, will contain approximately 76,128 square feet of space.

After a careful review of the facts In the case, the committee concludes: 1. That according to the evidence no undue consideration or Improper Influence was used, offered, or received by any of the parties concerned In tonnection with the lease to the city of this building. 2. That the particular represehtatives of the city who had this matter in charge failed to exercise due diligence in properly safeguarding the city's interests. Owing to the fact that legal questions may be involved, we refer the whole matter back to the city council for such action as, In Its wisdom, may be proper.

In conclusion the committee to say that the general charge that there are grafters In the city council has not been proved by the evidence submitted; but we believe, on the whole, that this investigation has resulted beneficially to the interests of the city."

Lillien's supplementary report follows: I find that according to direct evidence presented the general cherge (tenor of resolution) that there were grafters in the city council has not been proved, bqt that the evidence in the cases of Samuel Gregsten and the Keener lease, presented by Commissioner Bartzen, is of such nature as to have laid sufficient base for hie suspicions that he thought there were grafters In the city council, and I believe that the investigation has been beneficial to the Interests of the city of Chicago." Gas Inspection Rule Adopted. The council during Its session adopted the new gas inspection ordinance providing regulations for the testing of gas meters and the quality of gas supplied. The ordinance was passed without objection and without eebate as recommended by the committee on gas, oil, and electric light. The principal provisions are: Inspection shall be made by city officials in the presence of consumer and gaa company's representative. Companies shall give rebate for six months back Wnen meter Is founa to De over register.

Fees are to be paid by-the consumer if the meter is correce.otherwise by the company. Inspection fee shall be $1. During test company must provide another meter for building. Gas shall be of an illureinating power of not less than twenty-two candles. Every meter installednew or second hand must be tested and sealed.

A contract outside of the ordinance provides that the gas companies shall reimnurse the city for the salaries of the gas inspectors. Wants Police Stations Inspected. Aid. Wendling had adopted a resolution calling on the mayor to appoint a committee of five aldermen to Investigate the sanitary conditions of the city's police stations. Somebody played a joke on the aldermen, substituting a resolution referring only to the stockyards station, but this Wendling repudiated.

The stockyards alderman further distinguished himself in a speech supporting a demand by Aid. Powers that the wages of the street laborers be raised from $1.50 to $2 a day. The laborers do more work than aldermen," said the stockyards representative. You know. yourself, Mr.

Mayor, that a man can't exist on $5 or $6 a week when you have to pay $3 and $4 for a turkey." After this plea Chairman Bennett of the finance committee promised to consider the matter. Aid. Fisher had passed an order directing the committee on state legislation to draft a law to be submitted to the Illinois legislature as early as possible empowering the board of park commissioners to appropriate moneys for street improvements from their general funds and to enter into contract jointly with the city or otherwise for the improvement of streets contiguous to park properties.

After an eleven hour eession the jury which heard the evidence against Dr. Alfred Dahlberg. clerk ins Brendecke's drug store, Lake and West Randolph streets. accused of selling cocaine, was dismissed by Municipal Judge Sadler when it was announced that a verdict could not be reached.

Dahlberg was not present when the case Was called yesterday morning. His attorneys professed ignorance of his whereabouts, and his son said he had tried since Saturday to locate his father, but without success. Judge Sadler refused to grant a continuance asked for by Dahlberg's attorneys. The offense alleged was the sale of cocaine to Frank Kuhn, a drug victim. The taking of testimony consumed but a short time and the arguments of defense and state still less.

The jury was instructed at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and within an hour a deadlock was announced. After waiting until midnight Judge Sadler agreed with the jurors that there was no possibility of their agreeing and discharged them. Dahlberg was convicted Dec. 21 of having sold cocaine to Frank Kuhn and was fined $200.

Mr. Willard had; been confined to his room for more than a week with an attacksit pneumonia, but constantly, refused to call in a physician or to allow the people of the hotel to give him special care. Sunday morning his condition became so serious that his wishes were disregarded and Dr.

C. Pruyn String-field, physician of the Grand Pacific hotel, was summoned. Mr. Willard's vitality had become too weak to respond to medical treatment and he died in the evening. Death was caused by a complication of pneumonia and kidney disease.

Mr. Willard was born in Evanston thirty-eight years ago, his Sather being Oliver A. Willard, a well known Evanston pioneer. His mother was the daughter of Dr. Ban-'lister.

one of the founders of Northwestern university, and he was a nephew of Miss Frances Willard, the temperance worker and founder of the Woman's Christian Temperance union. Studied Life of Under 'World. In his boyhood Mr. Willard showed traces of a roaming disposition, often leaving home to take long tramps and mingling with the men he met on the road," and other characters of the These wanderings bred in him a strong taste for a nomadic life, and the knowledge and experience he thus acquired later furnished him with material for a number of unique books and articles on the slums and the life of the criminal classes. In his best known works The Little Brother." Tramping with Tramps," The World of Graft," Powers That Prey," and Notes of an Itinerant Policeman," he tells of his life among tramps and thieves, and presents many new conclusions.

During the course of the industrial unrest of 1892 and 11514 Mr. Willard tramped all through the country studying causes and conditions and giving the results of his observations in a series of magazine articles which established his reputation as a writer upon economic subjects. He also extended his tramping trips to the countries of Europe, and at intervals took up courses of study in the German universities of Berlin and Heidelberg. While abroad he made the acquaintance of Count Tolstoi, the Russian writer, and of Ibsen, the dramatist. Showed Evils of Cities.

About two years ago Mr. Willard returned to America and renewed his investigations along sociological lines, presenting in many articles the social and economic evils of life in the cities. His latent effort, which was cut short by his death, was an investigation into the workings of the gambling trust which is said to control the race tracks of the country, and ipto the systems used by promoters of poolroom bookmakers."

It was argued that it was not tilos primaxy intention of the club to Felt liquor to its members. Judge Dupurs decision did not touch upon another contention of the club to the effect that its land is not included within the prohibition district of Hyde Park.

Even though the final decision should be against the club, an attempt will be made to secure a license by contending the club has a right to one. Decision of the Court. In laving hie decision. Judge Dupuy geld In part: Only one question is presented for decision in this It is, Has the South Shore Country club by reason of its charter powers to sell intoxicating liquors. without license therefor, to its members only, at its clubhouse, where the same is now located? The statutes of the state of Illinois relating to the sale of spirituous liquors define a dramshop to be a place where spirituous or vinous or malt liquors are retailed by less quantity than one In, common parlance and understanding a.

Mr. Donnelley readily admitted that he had been notified lets of times," and Mr. Ennis admitted that a tine had been assessed against the Northwestern University building, of which he has charge.

After telling about smoke preventing appliances at the plant of R. R.

Later he said he was sorry that Mr. Schubert had not fined him. About three weeks ago I received a notice from the smoke department with smoking three minutes' written across it. I have told Mr. Schubert that I would like to have him call me up whenever our chimney smokes so that I can get the goods on the firemen.
