set of rules adopted some time ago by the council it Id necessary to have a majority vote of members-elect to pass an ordinance. Therefore the jitney ordinance and the building code have failed in their passage. Councilmen Hagerty, Thompson and Seifert voted against both the building code and tho jitney ordinances. They explained their votes when called upon. The three councilmen. declared that not enough time had been permitted either th council or the people to discuss and get an understanding of the building code and suggested that its passage be deferred until Jan. 1, thus giving interested persons opportunity for perusal of the ordinance. In referring to his stand upon the jitney Ijus ordinance Councilman Thompson took a whack at the street car company. "While over in Fort Wayne I noticed that tho jitneys . were doing practically 00 per cent of the transportation business, and there the street car company gives six tickets for a quarter. The local company will not even make this concession, but stands pat, and I think the council can stand pat for a while too, so I voU no." Says Xon-licgulative. "I have always been in favor of a bond or indemnity insurance for the jitneys," asserted Hagerty. "This ordinance provides for nothing but a $20 license fee for the city and does not regulate the business." Councilman Seifert expressed the same sentiments as those of Magerty and Thompson and refused to vote far the ordinance. Previous to the council meeting, a short committee of the whole session was held at which Atty. "W. A. Mclnerny, representing the Kale & r.ryan bill posting company, voiced a number of objections to the bill posting sections of the building code. At his request several changes were made as to heighth and heighth from the ground of billboards. , but his principal objection was overruled by the committee. Mr.1 Mclnerny declared that he did not beliee the clause providing that con'.-.-n: (i" residents in a block where a s!,tm w.;: t be erected must approve, to be l ual. City Atty. S-'obirt said that t!:t:e was some doubt, but different authorities were quoted. ,-.nd wlicn Mr. Mclnerny stated tha the .a:,.-.;g of the ordinance as it stood would result in a .lawsuit, the city attorney declared that such a move would be inexpensive and would forever settle the eiucstion. liefer Pond Ordinances. The ordinance providing for u bond h.vae e.f $2."i.(irn for the waterworks deportment was referred to the committte or the whole along with an ordinance appropriating $1,500 to the engineering fund of the board of works department. Another providing for the appropriation of $261.42 to the miscellaneous fund of the park board was also referred to the committee. The money is to be used in pay for certain sewer assessments. The ordinance approving: the contract entered into by the board o" works and the St. Joseph Heating Co. was also referred to the committee of the whole, as was another providing for the sale of old machinery formerly in use by the waterworks department.

DECKED. ASSERTS STÖRY IS FALSE j Baptist Minister Denies Headi ing Delegation to Urge Quilhot Marriage. That he never in any way advised Mrs. Marian Miller-Quilhot previous to her marriage, with respect to the character of John H. Quilhot, urging her to marry him or not, is the tlat statement of Rev. Charles A. Decker, pastor of the First Haptist church, made last night in answer to a recent report from Mrs. Quilhot to the effect that she had married the vice investigator partly on the minister's recommendation. Mrs. Quilhot's story the fffee that llev. Decker. i heading a delegation of local clergy men, plus another one from Lansing, had called upon her and assured her that Quilhot's reputation was firstclass, and that all the stories about him had been hatched up by the vice interests to discredit his work as a detective. "I never, met Mrs. Quilhot but once in my i"fe, and was never in her house but f nee, and that was after her marriage," said Rev. Decker, "and I never talked with her about her matrimonial affairs. Certainly no delegation of ministers, and especially ot which I was a member, ever allied upon her to urge her to marry anyone. It is not exactly in our line." Rev. Decker admitted that if all that Is being brought out about Mr. Quilhot at the present time is true, it shows up a pretty bad character, "but," says he, "if there is no more truth to the rest of it than there is to this story that I recommended Mr. Quilhot to Mrs. Miner or anyone else for matrimonial purposes, the whole thing Ks bosh." Rev. Decker still takes tho position, however, that In spite of what may be proved against him, he was an efficient vice investigator, and that he had the evidence that he was employed to get regardless of what became of it. NOTRE DAME NEWS Over half of the Carroll hallers want to play the drums in a new orchestra which will be organized for the Juniors. Fr. Cavanaugh gave a short talk to the Carroll hallers yesterday and outlined the plan for the formation of the band. He said that he hoped that every boy in the hall would try to make the band, since it would only take an hour of his time each day. In his talks to the boys Fr. Cavanaugh said that he wanted the junior band to be better than the university band. Thirty candidates responded to the call of the president and each signed for a certain instrument. The direction of the new orchestra will be under John Minavio. leader of the Collegian orchestra, and Frank Carey, a member of the orchestra. Eighteen new pieces have been ordered by the president and If more students signify intentions of taking up the work more pieces will be added. So far 15 students are trying to land the drummer's position, eight are trying for the cornets, three clarinet, four trombone, two baritone, four alto, and two bass. Fr. Cavanaugh also promised to give the hoys several trips if they work diligently. Winter is surely on its way for the sale of lemonade fell off one-half yesterday. The usual run for the day is 30 gallons, but Bro. Leopold says 15 was too much yesterday. Students can tell the kind of weather that is goinjr to follow by the amount of lemonade sold.

Political Gossip

A mecfJng of west end republicans Saturday night and an announcement from that gathering to the effect Ignatius K. Werwinski had been unanimously endorsed as a candidate for county treasurer, started the tongues of many interested in local politics J rolling, though slowly, in the pick-j ing of various ellgibles. j No less than si.x men prominent in their party were mentioned Mondav as possible aspirants for the office of treasurer, which F. W. Martin leaves after two highly successful terms. Nelson Jones, O. A. Clark, Samuel Krueger, Alexis Coquillard, and John Mountain are mentioned by "the boys on the corner" as favorable to the dosires of their friends so far as the trcasurershlp is concerned. Jones would no doubt "undertake" the job; Clarke should "serve" well from his capacity with the Kable lunch rooms, and John Mountain has seen civil service as memiber of the board of public safety under the Goetz administration. 'am Krueger is favored highly by "neutrals" in all parties. Sam is an ex-township trustee, and a man spoken of in hixh favor by those who know something about his work while acting in - that capacity. Of course. Werwinski is the only one to personally announce his candidacy, and with endorsement. That there will be no activities In St. Joseph county democratic circles until after the holidays is the opinion of Rudolph Ackerman, county chairman through the last election and recently appointed district chairman to succeed Dan M. Betchel of Goshen, Ackerman's appointment to the district chairmanship will necessitate the calling of a meeting to choose another county chairman. With activities launched locally, the meeting may be announced in a short time. Lewis Duck. kouth Bend contractor, is mentioned by "the boys at the corner" as a possible aspirant for priprimary choice for the office of sheriff. Charles Bailey, present dem ocratic incumbent, it is not expected will have any opposition in the primaries. However, it is early! Duck Is a republican. G. A. Farnbaugh, ex-judt:e of police court and at present a practicing attorney here, is said to hive designs on the congressional toga from this district. That Rep. Barnhart will again be a candidate at the primaries Is conceded, and that Mayor S. p. Spohn of Goshen is also desirous of such office is floating about the district. Regarding the county treasurership M. Wesolowski, Martin's deputy, is held a possible candidate on the democratic ticket. There seems to be considerable hope among party heads that ho will enter the lists. Of oours, now they are talking John Kucspert for sheriff, a candidate of the ? ticket. However, such talk is foreign to his associates at the city hall, who say however, that were he given a chance John would prove an officer worth having. But John is young. comparatively, and there are campaigns to come, and while he may be a candidate, it's proba.ble his designs are not on the next term of office. Friends of exSheriff Swanson are also busy. i. Everett Sanders, junior member of the law firm of MeXutt. Wallace Sanders, of Ter re Haute, has announced himself as a candidate for the reptjblicsin nomination for congress in the fifth district. A straw vote taken at Danville indicates James P. Goodrich, for governor, and Hugh Th. Miller, for senator on the republican ticket, are making a runaway race in that part of the state. William J. Bryan has no intention of fighting the renominatiou of Pres't Wilson, according to a letter received by Cong. I. R. Sherwood. Bryan writes there is nothing personal in his fight on the president's army and navy program. The letter expresses Bryan's belief that the president has been misled bv newspapers. Announcement has been made at the republican state headquarters that Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky, and Cong. W. E. Humphries of Washington, will be the speakers at the statewide love feast that will be hi-ld here on Wednesday. Dec. 20. Andrew J. Ilickey of Importe is receiving endorsement in th Laporte county section of the district as the next candidate for congress on the republican ticket. Says the Michigan City News: "He made the race in the last campaign when prospects were anything but rosy, and, at that, made one of the best runs of any republican candidate in the state. The fine sacrifice which he made at the time and the fine showing which he made under the conditions ought to entitle him to the nomination again next year." Ixcal men are of the opinion Ilickey will have little If any opposition at the primaries. Vice Pres't Marshall has returned to Hoosier soil after several months spent in Arizona. "I found the people taking very little interest in politics." says Mr. Marshall. "The only persons that are interested in politics are those whose business it is to stir up interest in politics in other words, the politicians. But the common, everyday people I met in the towns, on the trains and in the hotels are not stirred up. I do not expert a very lively or noisy campaign next year. "The republicans have nothing new to offer. Their onlv issue is one that has been discussed for 12 years and, will be discussed for the next 1 years. There is nn new argument on the issue. Every argument that can be made on either side has been made for many, many years. Every sixteen year old boy in this country knows the arguments by heart and can repeat all of them. "On the subject of national preparedness. I believe there are few nennle in this countrv that would d liberatelv harm the nation. The num - her is so small that one Chautau-iur tent would cover them I beheve the people are in favor of a reasonable preparedness decree of preparednessfor peace, is the way I rut it. i do not mean a great system of militarism but the kind of preparedness that j would enable you, if a bad man ste;-j ped a foot over your doorstep and! vou did not want him. to swat him one and drive him out and tell him to stay out. Preparedness. I believe. will not be a partisan matter. It will have support in all parties." Mayor Thompson of Chicago; Oscar Pland of Linton, and P. J. Lynch of Xewcastle. . will be the .speakers at the' republican banquet to Lo h'li ot Wabash tonisht
