clayton claims that Myers had been quarreling
with him all day merely because he tClayton) had
objected to boy being put up to insulting an o.d
man, patient In one Of the wards. While the dis

Myers before he thought he struck at him with his

Increase of Federal Salaries.
Mr.. E. W. Stoughton yesterday delivered to
Senator Carpenter the petition of the New York
Bar for an increase of Federal salaries. Mr..
Stoughton stated in the strongest manner that
the petition met the universal approval of the
profession; that the only objections made to
signing 1t were that the salaries named were too
small; and that he believed, if desirable, the
signature of every member of the New York
Bar could be procured. He also expressed a
warm approval of the course pursued by Senator
Carpenter, and hoped that his bill would be
extended to all the Federal judiciary, and
promptly passed.
