Town Cow Ordinance Amended and
Finally Paaaed. -
The city council met In regular
monthly session Tuesday night, and
there were present Mayor Banoroft, Al-
dermen Crager, Miller, Sholars, Wind-
ham, Hunt and Ogden, City Secretary
s Pond, City Assessor Watson, Treasur-
• •
; .;
i er Qunstream, Marsha} Crane, Chief
of Piré Department Ortméyer and Act?
tag City Attorney Robertson.
The regular order of business was
taken ífp and a number of accounts
approved and ordered paid.
A petition was presented signed by
a' number of negroes asking for the
opening of a new street in the north-
ern portion of the city. Referred to
street committee
Acting City Attorney Robertson
then addressed the council regarding
natters of considerable interest and
Importance to the city. Mr. Robert-
son called the attention of the council
to the fact that therg were many or-
dinances that are not enforced and
urged the council to require the mar-
shal and the police force to familiarize
themselves with the laws of the city
and to enforce, without fear or favor,
«very ordinance enacted by the law-
h makers of this city, and he called es
an able
from his stanúbOlnt.
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Sholara"
argument, Mr. R. L. Robertson ad
dressed the counoll, urging them to
stand by their action In passing such
an ordinance, and stated that he was
not present by employment in the «ca-
pacity as an attorney, but that in
obedience to his own. Inclination* and
complying with the request of nmwjr
Interested citizens, he was there to
ask the council to enforce a law al-
ready In existence, and that it be given
a fair trial. Mr. Robertson then .filed
with the City Secretary a petition
signed by about three hundred names,
and be stated that he presented a pe-
tition of citizens who have the interest
at the City of Orange at heart and
that the petition was signed by white
people only, etc. He advanced many
reasons why such an ordinance Bhoulfl
be enforced. Mr. Watson also made
a few remarks opposing the stock "or-
dinaace as passed by the council, a^d
Mr. Ortmeyer made an interesting talk
In favor of the ordinance and related
some of his own observations and ex-
periences, showing that the enforce-
ment of such a° law was most desirable.
There were some animated bltB of
repartee between Mr. Robertson and
Mr. Sholars In a friendly way. After
a desultory discussion of the matter
in hand, Mr. Ogden moved that the or
dinance be repealed, those voting tor
the repeal of the ^ordinance were:
Windham, Ogden and Hunt; and those
voting against the repeal were: Shol-
ars, Crager and Miller, -resulting in a
tie vote. Mayor Bancroft then made
a very interesting-brief talk and voted
against the repeal, but stated that he
would favor an amendment to (be or-
dinance, and immediately a motion
was made to amend the ordinance to
the effect that It should apply only be-
tween the hours of seven p. m. and
seven a. m. and that It should apply to
the entire city, instead of the restrict-
ed territory as provided in the ordin-
ance, and the .City Attorney was in-
structed to prepare such an amend-
ment. This was done and the amend-
ment adopted by unanimous vote and
ordered that the law Bhould be put
in force within fifteen days after this
date, and that the City Secretary
should have said amendment published
in the papers.
It was the sense of the city council
that the petitions filed showed that a
majority of the people were opposed
to the Btock ordinance and it was evi-
dent that had the petition favoring the
ordinance contained, as many or more
names than the oiie opposing tt, that
the ordinance would, not have, been
changed, but would have remained as
it was ami^accordiiigly enforced.
The most interesting feature of this
meeting of the council was the deter-
mination on the part of the lawmakers
to see that the laws are enforced, as
was evidenced by the expressions of
Individual members on that subject,
and they are particularly firm as to re-
quiring, the officers to enforce all

atended that a rigid and strict
enforcement of these vagrancy laws
would tend to a great degree to Bolve
the servant problem in our city; that
these trifling street walkers who are a
menace to, the decency 8T"any town,
would be forced to go to work and
earn an honest living, or that-they
could be prosecuted and put to work
at "pulling up weeds era the streets.
He stated that be had been informed
that there were many vile and dls-
s v graceful dives in Orange, and that if
the officers would not do their duty as
such places, some provision ought
> be made by the council tp have offi-
that would enforce the laws. It
stated to the council that there
a disreputable resort near to. the
disorderly houses, street walkers and
vagrants, and it is safe to predict that
tf there are any Idle vagabonds in Or-
ange they will have to go to work or
they villi will be fined and put to work
on the streets. It is probable that
within a few dayB the people of Or-
ange will witness the spectacle of a
herd of trifling wenches pulling up
weeds on the streets, and it should be
so. If an ordinance has been passed
by the city council it ought to bé en-
forced to the letter, and if it is not best
tp enforce it, then it should be re-
pealed and taken from the statutes of
the city.

Another pipe Dream.
In its Sunday morning edition the
Port Worth Telegram prints a rather
sensational story which it heads
"Huge Swindle In Oil." The article
also appears in the New Orleans Pic-,
ayune as a special under a Dallas date.
The story follows:
A "prominent Port Worth man re-
turned yesterday from Beaumont,
bringing with him one of the moat
sensational Btories, if not the most
sensational given to the public in
regard to that wonderful field of for-
tune—fortune won and fortune lost
The story in brief is that the Stand-
ard OH company, the richest corpora-
tion in the world, has perpetrated a
gigantic swindle in the Beaumont oil
fields, the details of which are only
now coming to light.
It goes further by adding that apon
being made acquainted with some of
the facts Beaumont oil men who have
been heavy losers, as a result of the
Port Arthur Clearances.

" 1 understand that It was entirely
through accident that the scheme
worked by the Standard Oil people was .. ... .
exposed." said the Port Worth man £or ttg1"*i: by ®-
who relates the story.. j
"You will remember that the Stand- „1®' taOB1«®-
ard Oil company built a pipe line from S'mb
Beaumont to the Gulf. A pumping sta- 11'"18,fi86 petroleum-
tlon was. put in at Beaumont and an- 11 11
other was installed at Che GÓlf. Unele Jim's New Berth,
It wis the plan to pump the oil to the . _
seaboard, and thence Bend It all over, , . . ' .
the world. But the Standard Oil com-1
pan y wished to obtain control of the *™JUbtae^otel to tore
entire field. To have bought outright y*
at the* time the pipe Une was built
would have cost too much money.1
Many of the biggest gushers In the!
field were connected with the pipe line
to the Gulf. Suddenly the salt water
stories started and the companies be-
gan going under. Examinations were
Carnegie May Buy Battlefield.
London, Sept. 9,—It is said that An-
drew Carnesle in negotiating for the
made of the oil. It was found to be' purchase of the famous battlefield
more than half salt water.
"No suspicion attached to the Stand-
ard Oil company by reason of this tact,
but> one day, not long ago, something
got the matter with one of the pump-
ing stations and to the. surprise of ev-
erybody the wells began to flow oil
again—good fuel oil.
"This set some of the wlaeacres to
thinking and they got together and re-
solved to conduct a quiet investiga-
tion. One night they plugged up the
pipe Une at the Beaumont end and
then going into the country dug 27
feet Into a hill and tapped,the pipe
line. Salt water gushed from it over
100 feet Into the air.
"The investigators were right ia
their theory. The pressure.was from
the Gulf pumping station—-the salt wa-
ter was being pumped to "Beaumont
and Into the wells. There was no
pressure from the Befcumont pumping
station—could not have been on this
particular occasion because at the
plug that had been put in. It was
simple enough to them after their test.
That's why detectives are at work try-
ing to fasten the guilt on somebody."
