The trail of the women of the un
der world furnished a considerable at
traction to many and Commissioner
Crawley's court room was filled to
capacity when the case was called at
ten this morning. Quite a number
of witnesses were examined including
the arresting officers. The women
were tried altogether on the one
charge of keeping a bawdy house. At
llu conclusion of the hearing Attor
ney (). 1). Cochran for the defense
argued that the government had not
sustained its contention as to the na
ture of the restricted area and con
tended that it was not proven In law
that the action of the women in re
turning to the alley meant that they
were there engaged in prostitution.
Judge Crawley sustained the conten
■ion of ihe district attorney, however,
and held the women, with the excep
tion of one Helen Olson, who intends
to leave on the next boat and has pur
chased passage, to the action of the
grand jury. The bonds of two hun
dred and fifty dollars were re
tained. It is probable that Attorney
Cochran will at once institute habeas
corpus proceedings and some lively
developments are to be expetced.

night nt thn city hull and n consider- I
aide amount of business was trans
acted including the settlement of the
water pumping question for the next
three months. Beyond that point th*
council has not expressed its ideas
to the public.
The meeting was called primarily
for the purpose of closing this matter |
it having been designated at the last
meeting that the contract question 1
would lie adjusted at last night’s ses- j
sion.
It was- for three months, and the
residents of Nome need not worry
for that period, anyway.
All were present when Mayor Blake
called the meeting to order, with the
exception of the absent Thompson.
The minutes were read and approved.
The reports of the city clerk and
treasurer were read, disclosing that
the sum of $5,254.HO reposed in the

processes.

draft of an ordinance granting to Fred
M. Ayer or his assigns the right and
privilege to ,erect and maintain ki
steam heating and power plant for a

The franchise permits the sale anil
delivery of steam heat and power for
l lie stated period to residents of I he
city and also grants the right to lay
and maintain pipes and to make all
necessary excavations for laying the
same on the public highways.
Councilman Rose moved that the

to Thomas Boss. Mr. Hose stated that
l he money had been deposited by Boss
as hail mono for the appearance of
Martin Sorenson who was taken into
custody on a misdemeanor charge.
Sorenson hud since been found to lie
sane and in the view of the coun
cilman was not responsible at the
time of his arrest and Boss could not

seconded and duly passed.
Councilman Hose moved that the
city enter into a contract with
the power company for water pump
ing for a period of three months.
I.engthy discussion followed hut the
motion, being seconded by Council
man I’oteet was possed.
Councilman Burgh moved that the
resolution of the last meeting calling
for weekly meetings of the council
be rtititled and it \Vas so ordered.
Councilman AtcAllister, earnest
champion of lair weights, brought up
the- mallei of a public scale stating
that A. Holed would be willing to sell
a scale lo the city for half of its
value. He did not know what half
its value represented in hard cash hut
tie thought it should be installed at
the city hall. The mayor did not ap
preciate the vagueness of Mr. McAl
iiister's ideas relative to the cost of
said scale and the installation there
of and remarked that definite figures
should lie obtained before the city
started anything of that nature. A
tentative agreement was reached that
the matter should be made more clear
at the next meeting.
McAllister then made a motion that
the LaKruncc lire’ engine be brought
to the new city lot, hooked' up with
Hie well ami given a trial as “to its
ability lo supply the needs of the fire
department. The motion was sec
onded by Hotcet and carried.
Manager McConnell, of ihe power
company appeared before the coun
cil and wanted to know if the body
would officially notify his company
that its services as purveyor of water
lo the fire department would not be
required after November first. This
precipitated a discussion which lasted
for some time and left the question
unanswered. The council were seem
ing greatly divided on tlie question of
signing up with Ihe company for fif
teenth months. Nothing was decided,
however, although Councilman Boss
remarked that, as tar as he could as
certain, ill majority of the property
holders of Hu city were much in favor
a renewal of the old contract. At
the end of the discussion the council
adjourned.

SM INCREASE
International News Service.
NEW YORK, August A ^alow
hut steady increase in the number of
eases reported daily shows conclu
sively that the paralysis epidemic is
spreading continually despite every
effort that can be made by the city
and federal public health departments.
A total of one hundred and eighty
there new cases were reported today
with fifty deaths occurring during the
preceding twenty four hours. The
failure to check the growth of the
disease is causing intense alarm and
parents with small children are panic
stricken with the fear of losing their
little ones.
While the officials have seeming
ly failed to check the further growth
of the epildemic they assert that there
is an increase in the number of cases
which survive the ravages of the com
plaint due to the use of the newly
discovered adrenalin treatment. All
babies infected are now being treated
by ihis method. Few of those who
are convalescing after taking the
treatment show any sign of being
paralyzed or deformed.
