There will be several new faces on the select side of the house when the new council meets. John J. Kearney, of the Third ward, will be succeeded by John J.

Costello. George Sanderson, who Jias represented the Thirteenth ward for a number of years, will retire and 'be succeeded by A. B. Lidstone. Former Common Councilman Joseph Oliver will make his appearance as the representative of the Fifteenth ward, to succeed Horatio T.

REPUBLICAN CHAIRMEN. Charles F. Wagner is the nominee of the Republicans of select council for chairman, and will, of course, be elect ed.

The Democrats have shown no disposition to battle against the odds, as yet, but will probably vote for some one of their number in order to pre serve party lines. The same may be said of the common council. W. V. Griffiths has received the nomination of his Republican colleagues and will be elected chairman.

Hugh Jones, the present clerk of the lower branch, will be re elected for another year. The Democrats have made no move towards nominating candidates for chairman or clerk, although William Lynott, of the North End has announced himself a candidate for the clerkship on the Democratic side.

Bow Coroner Roberts Baled Out Attorney O'Msvlley's Questions mm Irrelevent, Incompetent ud Immaterial. Coroner Roberts spends his leisure moments which are like angel's visits, few and far between, in studying up the law of evidence.

For this reason he yanks up any irrelevent question as quickly as a motorman reverse's the power when 'he observes the dog on the track. With the motorman it's a question of paying a dollar to bury the dog, but with the coroner it's a question of rock bottom regularity, and correct form. He exemplified this last night in conducting an inquest regarding the street car fatality on Capouse avenue. Attorney Charles P. O'Malley, assisted by Steve Dyer, represented the Traction company and a little boy seven years of age was giving evidence.

Mr. O'Malley after ascertaining his age, turned to the previous witness and said: "How old are you, Joe?" "Eleven years almost," replied Joe. "Where do you work?" asked the attorney. "In the breaker, sir," was the reply. "What breaker?" said the attorney.

"Question ruled out as irrelevent, incompetent and immaterial," said the coroner sternly. Attorney O'Malley gasped, but was braoed up by his associate. Mr. Dyer. Both stared at his honor, the coroner, for one, two, three moments and then Mr.

O'Malley found sufficient presence of mind to say, "But, your honor, ,1 have a right to ascertain the age of the witness?" "Every right, Mr. O'Malley," replied the coroner, "the court concedes that willingly, but you cannot make use of this court to sectrre outside information and find out where a boy is illegally employed. We are here to find how this boy was killed. Next witness." PASS PAYING MEASURE Common Counell will Meet In Special Session Tomorrow Xlght.

CflD flfl I IDT MU IIUUUI I UN UUUUI Assistant District Attorney is Preparing Indiotments MORE WITNESSES NEEDED Some features of tbe Task Are Completed but More Testimony Is Required Before final Report Can be Prepared by Grand Jary Bnmor Tbat t'oanollmen Are to be Indicted Seems Well Founded.

Assistant District Attorney W. Gay lord Thomas is, upon the instruction of the grand Jury, preparing la, number of indictments in connection with the investigation which has been in progress for over a week. This finally disposes of the question as to the outcome of the work of the Jury. The report will not be made today, but may possibly be submitted to court tomorrow, although this course has. 'by no means, been decided upon.

The jury in fixing the date of their report will be guided (absolutely by events which may transpire today and tomorrow. 'More witnesses are needed to complete some features of the task and some witnesses are to be recalled. In addition the jury will thoroughly dis cuss the notes of evidence made by the secretary before finally adopting a report upon the testimony submitted. VOLUMES OF TESTIMONY. Whoever may be indicted it la practically settled that all the persons who gave evidence before the grand jury will be called upon to give evidence in open court when the indicted parties are prosecuted.

In the meantime, however, rigorous measures will be taken to secure evidence which will impeach the credibility of some witnesses who, it is believed, committed perjury before the grand jury. There is absolutely no doubt but that some of the indictments will be in, connection with the slot machine scandal. Volumes of testimony have been secured in connection with this feature of the work of the Jury, which, it is thought, will be more than ample to secure the conviction of the persons Indicted. A rumor was circulated yesterday with an air of authority that some members of council would also be indicted upon charges of accepting bribes. While the rumor appears to be well founded nothing could be gleaned yesterday tl substantiate it.

Yesterday's witnesses were: E. A. Knight, Patrick G. Walsh, formerly court tipstaff; Detective Frank Agli, of the South Side; Detective Charles Sommers. ke Seidman, P.

H. Coyne and Constable Mitchell, of the Ninth RETURN BY GRAND JURY True Bills for Perjury Against D. E. vans and Richard Morris. A report was made by the grand jury yesterday morning to Judge Edwards which included true bills for perjury against David E.

There was a rumor in the city hall, yesterday, to the effect that Mayor Moir had vetoed several items in the general appropriation' ordinance. The persistence of the rumor caused considerable discussion and comment among city officials.

The items referred to as having been vetoed were those making appropriations for clerk hire in City Controller Howell department, and the appropriation for filling in the approaches to the Bloom avenue culvert. The item for clerk hire in the controller's department is $1,500, the same aa it was last year, and the other item is $1,000. It was stated that tbe item for clerk hire would be vetoed, simply because the controller was receiving $1,1100 per year more for his work this year than before, which would give him the sum of $2,700 for clerk hire. The $1,200 referred to was the amount agreed upon between Controller Howell and the Board of Control, as compensation for the work executed for the school directors. Inquiry at the controller's office gleaned no Information.

They had heard the rumor in common with all the other officials, but knew nothing regarding its truth. Mayor Moir. when asked whether or not he had vetoed the appropriation ordinance, or any portion 6f it, said that he had not, and displayed the ordinance, which bore no marks of either official approval or disapproval.
