SATTJRD AX MORNING, THE PITTSBURGH POST. SEPTEMBER 8, 1906. WHERE MACHINERY HALL WILL STAND. persons carrying badges without authority are subject.to fine, and imprisonment. Ordinances were -also affirmatively recommended authorizing the purchase of two lots in" the Nineteenth ward for the use of the bureau of fire, and requiring that midwives shall be' licensed.

ARRANGE FOR PRIMARIES. IfUDI GAR PACKING. Site of what is to be the largest and most Important of the buildings of the of. excavation was begun this week. The building is to be CouncHmen Consider Ordinance Which May Better1 Traction Service.

ASK FOR MORE ADEQUATE FIRE PROTECTION. Annexed Territories Are Compelled Depend on Volunteer Companies. Overcrowded traction cars and a proposed remedy were the causes of an animated discussion at a meeting of the Pittsburgh councils' committee on public safety yesterday afternoon. The council-i men had an ordinance before them to the effect that it shaH be a misdemeanor for traction companies to. carry passenger3 upon the rear or front platforms or running boards of cars.

While the commit teemen were almost unanimously in favor of such an ordinance, there was a belief that it will not stand a teat at law. The ordinance originally called for the imposing of a fine of on the conductor that permitted the alleged violation on the part of the passengers. This removed all liability from the employer; consequently it was amended to read that the company for a violation should be made to pay the penalty. The prevailing opinion was that should the measure become a law the traction companies will be required to put more cars in service; specially during the morning, evening and after midnight on some lines. After the ordinance was amended it was left to a committee composed of F.

F. Toole, Samuel Shenken and L. H. Fredericks. They will confer with representatives of traction companies on the subject.

Considers It Illegal. Dr. W. II. Webor thought the ordinance would not be legal, and wanted It recommended negatively.

He considered that it would be nn impossibility to keep peo-pl? from crowding on cars. Louis Hirsch thought it would be more effectual to prevent tho company from carrying passengers who cannot get scats. William Brand scored the companies for "packing people in their cars." He said the corporations ought to be compelled to treat people as "human beings." as when they are asked for a remedy the representatives of the company laugh in one's face. He spoke against leaving the measure to a committee. The sub.iect of better protection in certain districts of the city came up when two ordinances were under consideration.

One was for the appointment of an architect and the other for the erection of a fire engine house in the Twenty-fourth ward. The project raised the ire of the councilmen who have been endeavoring to get engine houses In their respective districts. Chief Miles Humphreys explained that six or seven years ago the city purchased two lots at Sarah and South Thirtieth streets' for the purpose of erecting an engine house. He said that at that time the section was closely built up, but at the present time there Is yet a necessity for an additional fire protection in that neighborhood. Badges for Newspaper Men.

The attention of the chief was called to the need of an, engine, house irv the West End district. He was reminded that the company fn the Thirty-sixth ward Is supposed to look after the new Thirty-ninth and Fortieth wards. He agrtf that companies should be stationed there, but said that for the time being the two volunteer organizations In the annexed districts will answer the purpose. The ordinances were finally referred to a sub-committee for investlga-tioa. An ordinance providing, for the Issuance of badges to active newspaper men was affirmatively recommended.

Heretofore cards have been issued, but the police officials have been eo lavish them that confusion has resulted; men not in the newspaper busines having gotten the majority of them.

THE PITTSBURGH SUN, The Greatest Evening i BANK OWNS EAST END THEATER, SAYS COURT. Collins Avenue Property Goes to Duquesne National and Another Suit Is Pending. Common. pleas court No. 3 has decided that the East End Theater is the property of the puqueane.

National bank, thus settling a Question that has been before the courts for some time. Another action over the property is also pending, E. D. Wilt, formerly connected with the theater, claiming that the property is his and that it should be given to him. when he has settled some notes that he gave, putting up his holdings as security.

The suit settled was that of the Duquesne National bank against the Colonial Trust Company and A. E. Braun, executors, the heirs of the late John Mun-hall and the Fidelity Title and Trust guardians of the minor heirs of the Munhall estate. Tfae court names Benjamin J. Jarrett, as trustee, to handle the property for the plaintiff bank.

In June, 1901, it is claimed that the Duquesne bank became a creditor to the East End Opera House Company in thu sum of $21,887, and that to protect its claims John Munhall, one of the bank directors, took the property as trustee. After Munhall's death it was found he was holding the property in his own name and not as trustee, as was supposed. The bank then put up a claim, as did the heirs, each claiming title to it. The casa then went to court. The suit of Wilt Till be heard later.

REASON ana unsu rpassed teachinsr talen le in Pia Democrats Will Name Dele- ft a gates in All Districts Next Saturday. REPUBLICANS TO PICK-NOMINEES TO-DAY. Hot Fights On for Control of Party Organization in the County. The Democratic county executive committee at a meeting in the headquarters yesterday afternoon arranged to hold primaries In all of the 13 legislative districts September 22." The district conventions will be held the Tuesday following. The general committee of the allied independents held a meeting yesterday afternoon to discuss candidates for the fusion ticket.

Many names were suggested. Meetings will be held daily until the ticket has been completed with the Democrats. "She Republican county organization is Sped asunder by factional lights and, in OConection with the primaries to-day, a operate struggle will be waged for control of the party machinery, in which the Citizen party leaders who so recently deserted the independent reform forces will take no little part. With William Flinn, Max Leslie and "John A. Bell the deserters have cast their lot.

in an ofTnrt to secure a place in ths councils of the machine. On -the nomination of Harry L. Goehr-lng for district attorney hinges the consummation of, the deal. In return for the Citizens joining as allies of Flinn. et al.

the latter agreed to use their Influence with the organization followers to support Goehrlng, practically handing this important nomination over to the Citizens as a sop for their return to the fold, Goehring being recognized as a Citizens party man. Orders Out for Goehrlng. The orders to the faithful have been distributed by Leslie during the last three old wound inflicted during the contest last winter between A. M. Jenkinson and W.

A. Magee, for the mayoralty nomination has been ripped open, and there is dissatisfaction in every district of the county and city. There has been a counting of noses and a bitter contest precipitated for control of the organization. The Allegheny, leaders have cast their lot with Flinn and the Citizens in return for what Citizens support they can secure on the Northside. Tt deal was made with the Citizens because of a feeling within the ranks of the Republicans that something must be done to combat the rapidly increasing strength of the usonists.

In this connection overtures were also made to the leaders of the Union Labor party for their support, but the latter turned down the proposition. A. Magee. yesterday called upon Leslie at the Republican headquarters to demand an explanation on the orders issued for Goehring. Together they went to the office of Thomas -Ford, county chairman, and, after a conference Leslie Magee had broken an agreement -made between all the party leaders that none was to interfere in the primaries.

All Are Confident. Grimes, Goehring and C. A. O'Brien, the three candidates for the district attorney nomination," made statements yesterday Expressing their confidence in the result. The legislative fights are confined almost to the Fourth and Twelfth districts.

In the latter John A. is having the hardest fight in his political career. It Is said the county leaders have slated C. J. Mesta, of Homestead; Daniel Boden, of Carnegie; John P.

Moore, of James-L. Adams, of Coraopolis. The other candidates have formed several combinations 'against the slate and hope to win out. Bell is particularly Interested In the nomination of Mr, Boden against David B. Johns.

This district was represented In the last Legislature by Robert McWhinney, of Homestead, who is now a candidate for renomination. Two years asro McWhinney developed such strength that the "bosses were compelled to support him. It Is the opinion of politicians in general that he will win out to-day. In the Fourth district, L. B.

Cook and John H. Voskamp have been slated against Thomas D. Malone and William Schemp. The Republican leaders have ordered cutting of Voskamp if necessary to pull Cook through. Reward for the "Faithful." Controller John B.

Larkin, W. H. Stevenson and Dr. H. B.

Burns have been appointed as a committee to consult with the Citizens party followers who desire to unite in the movement, and offer them a place on the ticket. W. S. Woods, for joining In the Republican ranks is said to have been promised a Federal position, and J. Denny O'Xeil is to receive the appointment of postmaster of McKeesport for his brother-in-law, John J.

Campbell. The Union Labor party nominating committee of 21 held a meeting last night, but on account of the absence of several members made little progress.

All the Senatorial and most of the Assembly candidates replied, -pledging their pupport to the Republican platform, which contains planks favoring both measures.

As the Republican platform is made simply for. campaign purposes and never to be fulfilled, the pledges are not considered very weights'. Fail to Make Answer. The Assembly candidates failing to answer the queries are: John R. Murphy, of the First district: David Hunter, of the Second; Joseph Henry, cf the Third; L.
