N e DECIDES T0 TEST THE LIGHTS City Oouncil Resolves at Last to Purchase a Photometer, THEY FOUND NO PROOF OF BRIBERY Tut the Special Co that He Be Sacriile The Uity Wil Fight t Street Rallway Bl Routine ¥ iness. The tidal wave of popular demand struck the council last night with telling force, and there was a lively stampede for’ cover by the members, The result is that the elec tric lights are to be tested for candle pow a photometer being ordered for the use of the electrician in making the tests. But one vote was recorded \nst the purchase of the instrument and that was Wheeler's, But us the roll was being called thero were ex- planations of votes by thenumbers who iu the past have so ardently opposed the purchase of o photometer, that were vory interesting in their way, and especially in view of former events. Those m in the photometer as u testing instrument relieved themselves of all responsibility in the matter, or at least such were their sta ments, and they were prepared to place the responsibility for the expenditure of $150 for instrument where it bel From the statements it is not easy to determine whether the responsibility is placed upon the shoulders of the taxpavers, Mayor Beurls or the press. But it has been placed, however, and the photometer has been | ordered purchased. Early in the proccedings Mr. Jacobsen made a motion that the resolution ordering the purchase of a photometer be taken from the table, where it was placed by a former meeting. The motion was lost, the vote standing 6 to 11, The anti-photometer fel- lows were sparing for wind, and were pre paring themselves to corral all the glory that is due from the subsequent action Mr. Back had a resolution covering the same ground as Mr. Jacobsen's resolution, and he offered it and moved its adoption. 1t directs the clogtrician and comptroller to purchase a photoineter at a cost of not to ex- ceed 3150, Wheeler raised _the point of orde: the Jacobsen resolution had been laid upon the table the council could not adopt the Back resolution. By a unanimous vote the sobsen resolution was taken from th table and the Back resolution was offered as an amendment. The roll was ordered called and explanations of votes were made Mr. Edwards said he had ucted con- scientiously 1n opposing the purchase of the fustrument, and i u flowery speech told of how he belicved he was voting against the fnterests of the city in supporting the lution. He believed he had performed his duty, and now he was ready to place the responsibility where it belo He didn't explain - where the re- sponsibility rests, but in his talk he men tioned the fact that Mayor Bemis wanted the instrument purchased, and the press did, and the latter had convinced the public that corporation collars are quite o popular fad in_councilmanic circles. He was not controlled by anv corporation and voted aye. Mr. Hascall was in a humorous mood and thought that & photometer must be wood thing. He understood it wonld write mes- sages for the mayor, reports for committees, and would even cure cholera and cholera morbus. He gave the electrician a few raps that as and after delivering himself also voted for | the resolution Mr. Back and Mr. Steel were other con- ver| in their former actic s, they were ready to vote for the purchase of the instrument as Jong as the press and public demands it, and in this manner they relieved themselves of all responsibility. Wheeler said he had not changed his mind and while some of the gentlemen had said they did not wear the corporation collar it looked to him as if they had an Indian lariat around their necks with some one else at the end pulling very hard. He voted no. Presudent Bechel said he did not believe in photome buthe was ready to place the responsibility and he voted aye. The vote ou the adoption of the resolution stood 16 to 1. The report of the special committee, com- posed of Munro, Prince, Howell, Steel and Saunders, appointed for the purpose of in- vestigating the charges of alleged bribery i connection with the Barber Asphalt com- pany repair claim, was submitted. The re- port was signca by all the membors, except- ing Prince, Who explained that he did not do 80 for the reison that it cast reflections upon the commitiee at the time the report upon Ahe list of in tors was made to the coun- cil. The report was adopted, after conside; able discussion, some members desiring the report moditied.

Mr. Wheeler arose and said that Governor Crounse had shown him the telegram from City Clerk Groves in which the touncil pro- tested against the signing of the biil, and he moved that a committee of five be appointed to wait upon the governor in vegard to the matter. The motion prevailed, Mr. Steel offered & resolution calling & mass meeting this evening, but withdrew the motion to adopt, the opinion , wvailing that if a public meet- ing is necessary the mayor should promul- te the call.

Weather Co gt Have Been Favorable —A Good Average Reported. CovLvstnia, Mo., April 11.—Week!y weather crop bulletin of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture: The weather conditions the past two weeks are generally conceded to be most favorable to agricultural interests. The period has been marked Ly numerous light showers, exceptionally warm weather and high dry winds. As the best indication of the condition of the soil, it may be said that corn planted on March 30 was up April 4. Meadows seem to have suffered very little from the protracted cold weather. As reported by sections the lowest average condition is per cent in the northeast and the highest 85 in the southeast. The ze date of wheat seeding last fall v September ten days earlier than previous year, but the condition of the soil was bad” aud much of the seed failed to g growth. The low temperature, the very little protection afforded by snow and the ice which, i sections of the state, cov ground for a long period during the winter, indicate that much of the area sown has been winter killed, but the continued cold weather hus prevented a sufficient growth of the plant to make it_possible to estimate the probable acreage which will be plowed up.
