-DARE OF TREES ; ARGUED AT MEET ; OF CITY FATHERS

Common Council Handles Various Matters at Session of the Whole. Richi rd Libel, president of tho Hoard of Park Commi.ioner?, led a fight for the enactment of an ordinance regulating the trimming of trees abutting and locate! on city Ktreeta before the common council in a meeting of the committee of the whole Monday night. The measure as written without amendment would give the park board so authority of all tree, shrubbery and hedge trimming, removal and planting, according to certain members of the council who showed an unwillingness to be swung !nte line in it3 favor. After more than AZ minutes debate on tho matter, during which the park board's head cited the enactment of fcjeh a forestry law in a majority of the cities of Indiana and adjoining ."tat es, a committee, in- ' luding Baumback, Railey and Goebei, were appointed by the chair to sit with the members of the park board, obtain information as to the specific intent of the propostd measure and report back threo weeks hence their recommendations. The llrst two mentioned councilmen appointed on th committee led the fight against the forestry ordinance and showed their intention unreservedly to vote against the measure unle.ss it wa.s amended in certain particulars. The ordinance proposes: Authority of the park board over all trimming, removal and planting of trees, shrubbery, vines and hedges within the limits of public streets, alleys, thoroughfares, lawns and parks. Confers authority upon the board to issue permits costing $1 each on property owners desiring or compelled . y the board to comply with the above. The board to issue licenses to tree trimmers having a proper knowledge of forestry and insect infection of trees, hedges, etc. Confer upon tho board the assessment of fines for the violation thereof. An ordinance, declarlnc certain Streets to bo preferential trafiic streets, which has for it.s general purpose the elimination of bus service upon tho main arteries of traffic in the city and for its specific pur poso the displacement of interurba bus service applicable to competition with interurban lines, was reported favorably by the committee and went over to action by the council at their regular meeting next Monday night. Dr. E. G. Freyermuth, secretary of th Board of Public Health enlivened the session last night with another verbal tilt between himself and City Att'y Slick over the enforcement of the sanitary zoning ordinance prohibiting privy vaults within certain defined areas of the city. The health board secretary scored tho attorney for alleged "laxity" on the attorney's part in a specific case of a property holder who, by failure, it Is said, of complying with the ordinance, was named in a complaint to the city council signed by people of the neighborhood where the alleged nuisance exists. Regarding the appropriation of I21.S30 covering the cost of a motor driven pumper and a sertco truck, additional fire' fighting equipment. Nelson Kyser, president of the Board of Public Safety, explained the reason for the board ignoring tho bids of the AVhite Motor Co., which were approximately $1.000 less than the La Franco bids which were accepted and contract awarded by the board, subject to appropriation by the council, two weeks ago. l ire Chief Talks. He was followed by Fire Chief Sibrel who eloquently showed that not only did tho AVhite Co. refuse to abide by the board's specifications, at to motor horse-power and equipment, but in view of the department having four of the LaFrance pumpers, the logic demanded a standardization of equipment. Earlier In the session, Pres't Elbel of the park board spoke favorably for an ordinance appropriating $2,r.00 with which to complete the shelter house at Potawatoml park donated by the Travelers' Protective association. Tho appropriation included plumbing, $1,000; lighting. $100. sewering $1,150. The committee acted favorably upon it. An ordinance setting aside $200 for the employment ef a special attorney to prosecute certain violations cf t!r zoning ordinance was tabled. Other ordinances acted upon favorably by the council committee of tho whole included the appropriation of $1.7.00 from tho general fund for city hall upkeep, and $C,500 to take care of items billed the city by the City cemetery, and approving and confirming of an agreement made by the board bf public works with the South Rend Brewing association for the construction of a spur track across College st.. to a proposed new building to be erected by that vncern.

CHILD BADLY INJURED VII EIS' STRUCK BY AUTO A'erlin Urantz, two and a half year old son of J. Frnntz. 313 S.

APPROVAL IS GIVEN TO 'OYER THE HILL1 Audience Weeps With Tragedies of Forgotten and Neglected Age. An audience that wept with the tragedies of forgotten and neglected age, that thrilled with the eelf-sac-rifice of youth and laughed over tho comedies of childhood gave its unqualified approval to Over 'be Hill at the opening presentation at tho Oliver on Monday. In Mary Carr the devotees' of the screen will lind a veritable Bernhardt of tho film. Her delineation of tho leading role of mother was m.ore than an artistic triumph. It has the fundamentals of real genius and she has reached a standard of genuine acting which others will find it hard to follow. The story brines with it a sermon against selfishness and a bold, Impelling demand for reverence of all mothers and the criminality of neglecting those who populate the world and lift it by their love. ' The characters might have stepped from the real life of many families. There is a father, indifferent and lazy, who finally becomes criminal. There is the group of children, each with a different temperament the hypocrite, the wayward, the gullible, the protector, the careless and the loyal. In a gripping sequence, melodramatic at times and always tenso, ' the gradual abandonment of the ! mother by all save the misunder stood son, who undergoes all sacrifices to save the others, is portrayed. Finally, of course, the true characters aro unmasked and there is a smile on mother's face after the years of tears and tragedy. In thought, purpose and portrayal Over the Hill will rank with any of the super-productions of tho film world. In the prologue, given over to childhood scenes, the acting of tho juveniles reaches a new standard of excellence. The real triumph, of course, belongs to 'Mary Carr. She grows old before the audience and her simulation of the changes with the years, her complete identification with the rolo she plays, stamps her as one of the great actresses. Orer the Hill is a film which sends people away thinking and with wet eyes. Its powerful portrayal of mother love, its striking warning against neglect and indifference, its continuing appeal to the loftier sentiments of the heart, leave the deepest of impressions. To miss this presentation it to overlook one of the best things that the film world has yet given its patrons. T. N. T. FORI) STOLEN'. The theft of a Ford touring car from its parking place opposite the First Presbyterian church on Lafayette st. was reported to the police last night.

CITY MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT CAN BE VERY CORRUPT

Editor of Kalamazoo Star Says Commission is Not Llnqualified Success. That the city manager form of government can become as corrupt as the federal system of government In Its operations if the voters elect an unsiutable man to fill the position was the view expressed by John Henry Zuver, editor of the Kalamazoo Star, in summing up his speech delivered before the current events department of the Progress club Monelay afternoon. "You may remember that last pring when South Lend was considering the city manager plan," said Mr. Zuver, "word came over the wire to us that Kalamazoo was going to vote for the old form of government. This story was disproved at Kalamazoo's municipal election, when a continuance of the city manager plan won the popular vote, with slight changes in the charter. "In the state of Michigan each city can adopt its own charter, and as a consequence there are as many forms of government in Michigan as there are cities. "In addition to the city manager, Kalamazoo has a council cf seven men elected by the city at large. The chief of police, engineer and other city officials are elected by tho city manager and are directly responsible to him. You can easily see that the fire, police and other departments can be induced to vote for him or have the alternative of looking for another position. "In Kalamazoo all but two of tho seven councllmen are from one ward and the reason is that that ward carries the majority of votes. It develops from practice that they vote for all the improvements for their ward and let the others go. "There i omethin that you will possibly never get ur.Ie.ss tho legislature sees fit to amend the law, and that is the budget system. There should be some way by which wo would know in adv; nee what the expenditures are to be" At the conclusion of the speech Mr. Zuver invited the members to ask any questions which were puzzling them. An eager response to the invitation brought forth a barricade of questions from the members, who proved that they had been studying and comparing the city manager form with tho present system of government. Tea was served by the chairman, Mrs. Louise Sanders, and her assistants, Mrs. Lewis Zanger, Mrs. John AVebb Lalonde anel Mrs. Charles Clark. During the brief business session preceeling the speech rollcall was responded to by the members with current events. The next meeting will be a Halloween party to be given by the department Oct. 31, to which general club members and guests are invited. Those wishing to come in costume are urged to do so. SOUTH BEND MAY GET CONVENTION Indiana Society of Christian Endeavor May Meet .Next in This Citv. South Bend will be tho scene of the annual state convention of the United States Societies of Christian Endeavor next summer if plans of local representatives formulated at a meeting In tlje First Presbyterian church last night are carried out. Tho bid of local delegates for the gathering, held this year at Muncie, is considered strong. Definite announcement of the choice is expected soon. A campaign to raise funds to handV the convention here will be la nched this winter. E. P. Gates, general secretary of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, of Boston, Mass., addressed nearly 200 local Christian Endeavor workers. from 20 South Bend churches, at the gathering last night on "Opportunities for Christian Endeavor AVork." He told delegates that the Christian Endeavor field was unlimited, and that now, more than ever, Influence of young people In regard to morals was needed. That politics are in a bad way and young men and young women rairrht profitably take a hand in their betterment was another point emphasized by the speaker. A'isitora from out of town included R. A. AA'alker of Chicago, who led the singing, and Evan AVüliams of Fort AVayne. Ind., field representative, who spoke. Mishawaka, Laporte and Elkhart were also represented.

BOTTLE OF WHITE MULE IS STRONG AS LIOÜOR

Tho irony cf fate was with the law yesterday when Joseph Barcza, proprietor of a soft drink parlor at S01 South C'hapin street hurled a half rint bettle of "mule" 100 feet agalvt the wall of the Oliver Foundry across the street in an attempt to de5-tr?y evidence.

PENDING STRIKE WORRIES BROKERS Wall Street Financiers Influenced in Dealings hy Threatened Walkout. NEAV YORK, Oct. 17. Trading in the stock market today was almost wholly influenced by the graver aspects of the railway labor situation and other developments of unfavorable irn.port, including the further severe shrinkage of German exchange. Rails sustained early losses of 1 to y, polr.tv as did equipments, steels, motors, coppers and other issues of kindred description. In several instances, notably among minor or inactive transportations, these reversals were 'extended a considerable extent. Oils were inclined to resist the general pressure at the outset, but the we.ght of offerings gradually effected substantial recessions in that quarter. Royal Dutch was among tho issues under constant attack to the accompaniment of reports that the company had sold its holdings in Mexican Eagle Oil. Other points of weakness embraced shippings, tobacco, textiles, leather and some of the utilities, including express companies. Show Gains. The only issues to show gains at the close were those engaged in the manufacture of motor trucks, those stocks being bought on the theory that such vehicles would largely replace ireisrht cars in the event of a strike. Sales amounted to C7 5,000 shares. Reactions of the forenoon were hastened by tightness of money, call loans opening at per cent. The rate fell to 4 per cent at midday, however, but this was without visible stabilizing effect in the final hour,- when lowest averages were made. Tho slump in marks, which carried that remittance down to the ne w low of .32 U, was in striking contrast to tho vigorous advance of sterling, demand bills rising to 0.93H, almost 4 cents over last week's final quotation. Dutch and Norwegian bills were strong, but French, Italian. Belgian, Swedish, Danish and Greek rates reacted in variab.o degree. WINDY CITY WHEAT MARKET IS UNSTEADY CHICAGO, Oct. 17.
