PUPILS AT COUNCIL Members of Civics Class Attend Meeting.

About 40 members of Prof. W. O. WMssler's class in civics from the high school attended the meeting of the council last night. Mayor Zimmerman invited the class to come to the council meetings as often as possible, saying that he believed that the "future fathers of the city" should become as well acquainted with the workings of the municipal government while they are young, so that they will be fitted to hold office later in life. He asked the class to return at another meeting and bring as many other visitors as will come. Members of the civics classes attend at least one council meeting each school term. GRUBBS SAYS THAT MEXICO IS QUIET "The situation in Northern Mexico is not as bad as it has been painted," declares W. W. Grubbs. He has been storekeeper for an Indiana lumber company at Madero, Chihuahua, Mexico, for more than a year, and is at home for a short vacation. "Chihuahua is supposed to be the center of the disturbance and the rebels, who in reality are only brigands, have destroyed much property, but I can cite no instance where Americans have been wantonly killed or subjected to brutal treatment. As a matter of fact, I have found the Mexicans have a wholesome respect for Americans. Expects Order Soon. "Salazar's troops have burned more than 700 bridges on the Mexican Northwestern Railroad, but repairs are now being made by the government and our plant has suspended operations until these repairs have been completed. I think President Huerta will have restored order in the republic inside of six weeks." Grubbs said that Dr. Commons, son of Senator Walter Commons, and other Indiana people at Madero are in the best of health and are staying in Mexico until the trouble has blown over. He said the border fight near Douglas Sunday, when American troopeis fired on a band of Mexican soldiers, killing six, was nothing unusual and would not create any ill feeling against Americans in Mexico.

ENTERTAINMENT IS GIVENJUOUNCIL City Fathers Engage in a Friendly Word Battle Last Evening. Vaudeville, apparently under the auspices of the city, In which two of

the city's councilmen featured, took up a large part of the time of the city . council last evening. Councilmen Thatcher and Evans appeared to be the center of attraction and words ; passed between the two men. Quiet I was finally restored and matters ofj business were taken up. j The discussion of the report of the 1 committee which made the inspection of the alley between South Eighth and Ninth from A to B streets, at the demand of the council at the last meet- j ing brought on arguments which re-1 suited in a free-for-all "fuss" between ! two of the councilmen, later the entire j body of the fathers of the city taking part. Councilmen King and Thatcher both j announced themselves opposed to the improvement saying that with the improvement of Eighth street, the property owners would be too heavily taxed to pay both improvements the same year, suggesting that the matter be dropped for another year. Several" years have passed with the same result on this improvement. This elicted an immediate reply from Councilman Evans who claims that the improvement has been delayed for several years because the property owners claimed that they could not pay for the improvement. Two Head "Bill." Thatcher then replied that there are several persons who want the improvement who do not pay taxes to the city. Assuming that a reference was intended for him. Councilman Evans challenged Thatcher to prove that he did not pay taxes and asked him to look at the county tax book. Police Commissioner Stover, who was present and is a property holder affected by the improvement, was called upon to express himself on the matter. At this time the entire council took sides, challenges and retorts flying back and forth between the councilmen. Thirty minutes passed in this manner. Finally a vote was taken, killing the measure. Complaints about a frame garage which is being erected within the fire limits led to an adjournment of the council for fifteen minutes to amend the ordinance and make it unlawful to i erect, with the Are limits, any frame building, shed or any other outbuilding. It was found on examination that the original ordinance setting forth the fire limits prohibited this as passed in 1879. Amendments made in 1897 to the ordinance allowed the erection of frame buildings less than 12 feet in height. The committee on ordinances met during the adjournment and made an ordinance repealing amendments. Aft er the ordinance was read twice, the rules were voted suspended and the j ordinance was read for the third time, j It was unanimously decided to repeal the former amendments. Auto for Chief. Mayor Zimmerman recommended that the ordinance transferring $1,000 from the miscellaneous fund of the fire department to a special fund for the purchase of an automobile receive the three readings and that a vote be taken so that the automobile could be purchased at once. The rules were suspended and the ordinance passed unanimously. The machine will be purchased immediately. Mayor Zimmerman announced to the council the appointments he had made to fill the vacancies caused through the death of Police Commissioner Joseph Betzold and Sinking Fund Commissioner M. J. O'Brien and the resignation of former City Attorney Gardner. Police Commissioner Iliff, Sinking Fund Commissioner Foley and City Attorney Gardner have all furnished the necessary bonds. The board of works reported that the swinging bridge In Happy Hollow was temporarily repaired and would be permanently repaired as soon as the weather permits. Cinders will be placed on the walks through Happy Hollow later. The complaints on the condition of North Tenth street below the railroad were dropped as the contractors will begin work on bricking the street next week. The Richmond Street Railway company will be notified to repair the street crossing at the west end of the Doran bridge. Councilman King asked that the matter of having a watchman at the corner of North Third and D streets be looked into. Minor matters were discussed. Matthew Von . Pein, councilman-at-large stated last night at the meeting of the city council that the building code was placed in the hands of former City Attorney Gardner four weeks ago for him to approve. He said that it should have been submitted to council more than two weeks ago. The committee on contracts and franchises j completed their work on the code a J month ago. City Attorney Will Bond j will investigate the matter immediate ly and present the code at the next council meeting.
