KICK ON The SIZE
OF THE SALARIES WANTED BY
THE WATER BOARD.
THEY ARE DISAPP2OVED
By Some Members of the Assembly
Committee on Ways and
Means.

1t will very soon be the duty of the
common council to approve or disap-
prove of the salaries of certain city
officers and employees, as fixed by the
charter. This must be done before
the comptroller will audit the March
pay rolls. At the last meeting of both
bodies of the council, communica-
ton was received from Comptroller
McCardy, notifying the council that
1.-The charter fixes salaries of some
city officers and employees, subject to
the approval of the common council,
notably those of all the police depart
ment janitor of the market house,
clerk of the board of public works,
the city engineers assistants and city
treasurer's force The matter was
referred to the committee on ways and
means.
The assembly committee on ways
and means met yesterday afternoon,
but did not enter into the matter,
owing to the absence of the third mem
Der of the committee, Mr.. Parker. But
the committee discussed in general
way the salaries of city employees, and
from the tenor of the talk, it looks as
though some of those salaries would
not meet with approval. The action
of q the committee on the resolution
from the water board indicates the
general feeling upon this subject. The
resolution provides that the salary of
the secretary of the water board be
fixed at $500 year, the present SAL
ary and that the salary of the super
intendent of the water works be
$500, the same as at present.
The city attorney informed the COM
mittee that the common council had
no right to say what the salaries
should be. It could simply approve
or disapprove the resolution. Mr..
Arosin thereupon moved that the COM
mittee disapprove of the resolution
and recommend that the Secretary'S
salary be reduced to $500, and that of
the superintendent to $780, Chairman
Lewis thought that the recommended
ton was a trif1e too radical and Sug-
gested as an amendment to it, that
the secretary's salary be $1,000, and the
superintendent $1,000, and so save
s., 600 in the water department. Mr..
Arosin consented to the change, and
the ways and means committee will
accordingly submit a report to the as
sembly, refusing to approve the resolu-
ton of the water board and recon-
mending the reductions above speci-
fed.

upon this proposition by offering a
resolution that efforts be made to de-
feat the bill, on the ground that, if
passed, 1t would destroy the safeguards
of the Bell charter.
Assemblyman Lewis objected to the
resolution. He declared that no de-
partments had exceeded their appro-
priations. The deficiencies had been
caused by the non-payment of taxes.
Mr.. Lewis suggested that there should
be legislation providing for paying de-
partments what is due on account of
the shortage for the time being.
This was Comptroller McCardy's cue,
and he remarked that the cause of
the deficiency in the police department
was the appointment of more men on
the force than the amount on hand
could pay.
Mr. Lewis replied that the depart
ments ought to know how much money
they would receive, and what they
could depend upon.
Capt Hackett interrupted with;
"They can depend upon so per cent OF
the charter appropriation.
Then Aid. Hare seized the opportun-
W
the police. The alderman said:
/. It's disgrace, it's a shame, that
our policemen cannot & It their pay for
protecting our lives and property while
we are asleep. The whole trouble is
this: Our hands are tied by legis-
lature. 1t looks, too, as if there was
no disposition in this assemblage to
see our policemen paid"
Aid. Murphy remarked that the
council, city comptroller, city attorney
and mayor were all to blame for not
getting together at the beginning of
the year, and aScertaining just how
many men could be employed in the
various departments.
Just before the question was put,
Michael Prendergast made a vigorous
protest, saying he did not believe that
the citizens of st. Paul wanted to go
on record as Sinking the Indebtedness
of the city to it's police. But his re-
marks had no effect, for the resolution
was adopted, though not by any means
unanimously. Those who voted for 1t
did so to keep shut the f1oodgates of
. the charter, SO they explained.
Mr. Willius introduced a resolution
that the Ramsey county delegation be
requested to see that there be in
corporated in any charter bill passed, a
clause giving the city power to pro-
tect it's citizens against undue and
excessive charges for commodities and
facilities furnished by corporations or
individuals holding a franchise. The
resolution was adopted, and the meet
ing adjourned.

HARD LINES THESE.
Two Lives Separated by the
Stern Decree Of the
Court.
A FlVE-YEAR-OLD ORPHAN
Taken From Her Aged Aunt
and Handed to the Legal
Guardian.
A FlVE-YEAR-OLD ORPHAN
THE LITTLE ONE OBJECTS
And a Pathetic Scene Is the
Result--SoproW Of the
Aunt.

There was pathetic scene in
Judge Willis court yesterday after
noon when little Edith Grantvalley,
a fiVe-year-old orphan, was taken
from her aged aunt, Miss Mary A.
Porter, and given into the custody
of Mrs. Ellis C. Bovaird, who had re-
Gently been appointed her guardian.
The child and aunt had both lived
with Mr.. Bovaird, the child's uncle,
until a few days ago, when it became
necessary for the aunt to retire to
make room for a wife Mr.. Bovaird
had taken unto himself. Before the
aunt was forced to retire, Mr.. Bo-
vaird took the precaution to have his
wife made guardian of the child.
But despite this fact the aunt took
and in answer to a writ Of habeas
corpus they all appeared in court
yesterday.
The aunt is an old woman who
has never been married. She pa
thetically told the court how she had
nursed the mother of the child on
her death bed, and later on nursed
two of the children in their fatal
illness. Now the little one in ques-
ton was all there was left to COM
fort her in her declining years, and
it was to be
TAKEN FROM HER.
The court tried to console the. poor
woman with the thought that the little
one would be better cared for than it
would be possible for her to care for it.,
in view of the fact that she is without
means. Anyhow, the child must be re-
turned to the guardian until the order
of the court making the appointment
had been set aside. He then cautioned
Mrs. Bovaird that she must treat her
little ward well and give her a good
education or the child would probably
be taken away from her.
There was one other party to the ac-
ton who had something to say about
the ruling, and she made the strongest
objection of all-this was the little tot
herself. She was devoted to her old
aunt, and when it came to turning her
over to her guardian she made pro-
test that was touching in the extreme
She chung to her aunt, whose hand had
tenderly cherished her from baby
hood, and 1t was evident that if the
separation was to take place in the
court room it must be by force. To
avoid more cruel scene, the poor old
maid, with tears in her eyes, agreed to
take the child to Mrs. Bovairds home
and do what she could to reconcile it
to the parting.

BENEFICIARY DECIDED
In Judgment Filed by Judge
Willis

Judge Willis yesterday rendered
judgment in faver of the plaintiff for
$1,000, the full amount claimed, in the
case of Augusta Becker VS.. The Min
nesota Odd Fellows Benefit Society,
original defendant, and Henrietta
Kuhl, substituted defendant. The
question involved was as to whether
Mrs. Becker or Mrs. Kuhl was the
legal beneficiary of $1,000 insurance on
the life of Matthias Kuhl, the father
of Mrs. Becker and the husband of
defendant. The court finds that Kuhl
had formerly designated his wife as
beneficiary, but later on had secretly
notified the company that his daugh-
ter should be substituted as benefi-
ciary. The money was paid into
court, and was ordered turned over to
the plaintiff.

No COMMENT MADE
Before the Commissioners on the
Jardine Matter.

Before the commissioners on the
Jardine Matter.
The board of county commissioners
held a short session yesterday. The
only business of interest transacted
was the confirmation of the action
taken at the special meeting a few
days ago whereby the previous action
with reference to the proposed bond
issue of $4,000 was reconsidered and
the issue authorized to be made for
ten years under the law of 1898. The
county attorney submitted the opin-
DIN of Attorney Childs that there is
no vacancy in the office of county su-
perintendent. The opinion was re-
ceiyed and ordered filed, but not a word
of comment was made. The remain
der Of the session was devoted to rou-
tine business and the allowance of a
number of unimportant bills.

THE LAST MEETING
OF the Park Board AZ Constituted

VI the Fark BOaru as constituted
at Present.
The last meeting of the board of park
commissioners, as at present consti-
tuted, was held last night, but little
business came before it. Four mem
bers were present. An application of
Thomas Manning for the refreshment
privilege at Lake Como during the
coming summer was read and ordered
filed.
Mr.. Horton offered a resolution APP
pointing Fred Nussbaumer superin-
dent of parks for the ensuing year Mr.
Eberle opposed the resolution on the
ground that, in view of the fact that
new members are to be appointed. it
would be premature to adopt the reso-
lution it would be a slight to the new
members, though he favored the ap-
pointment. Mr.. Horton then withdrew
the resolution.
The board adjourned for one week.

post was in the heart of danger, and it
was noticed that no matter how thlckly
the bullets We're flying he sat his horse

The British consul at Jerusalem in

has been given to this new quarter.
