THE DIsTRICT-ATTORNEY DID NOT WANT THS
BOARD OF ESTIMATE TO CUT HIS BUDGET
DOWN. But HIS HONOR THOUGHT THAT
HE ASKED FOR TOO MUcH-rHE
LAW OFFICER INDIGNANT.
At the Board Of Estimate meeting yesterday
morning sharp tilt between Mayor Wurster
ami Dstrict-Attorney Backus over the budget
submitted by Mr. Backus enlivened the proceed
ings somewhat. and caused more or less ill-feel-
ing between the two officials.
Mr.. Backuss estimate calls for S7G,20O. This
is $50 900 more than the budget Of the previous
year, and the Mayor bluntly stated the fact to
Mr. Backus. who sharply replied that he couldn't
get along with less.
The District-Attorney's salary was left un-
touched. 1t calls for $1,000. When 1t came to
the Assistant D,strict-Attorneys and stenog-
raphers Mr. Backus obliged TO make many
explanations Four assistants at 1900 each .
year are asked for. and one at $4,000 Then Mr..
Backus wants five clerks and stenographers at
$1,000 a year, and five assistant clerks at the
same salary. Mayor Wurster at this point par
tcularly criticised the increase in stenographers
and told Mr. Backus that In mis- opinion. the in
crease in his force from eighteen TO thirty was
unnecessary
THE Corporation Counsel" retorted Mr..
Backus has four stenographers. and do not
think they perform much work as is done In
my Office
Your predecessor" said the Mayor, got
along with stenographer. He told me he did
not have enough work to keep that one busy.
Here you have two, and you want five. We ere
trying to cut away S4,OOO,OOO, and all the de-
partments should share in this. Some have Al
ready been cut from 10 to 30 per cent
well. | can't do the work properly for less.
was the reply If crime is 10 be kept down.
Then Mr. Backls compared his office with that
of Colonel Fellows OF NewYork, and the Mayor
remarked that New-York had about five times
as much income as Brooklyn.
We'll / guess that two stenographers will do
for your office" said Mayor Wurster. by way Of
bringing the argument 10 a close. The other
Sc 900 would be money squandered."
Mr.. Backus flushed Il would like to know"
said he loudly, IF the Mayor Is better qualified
TO know my needs than am | would not feel
competent to critcise his office. Why should he
mine"
Economy" said the Mayor. smilingly.
Controller Palmer. after some further dis
cussion. moved to have the budget informally
allowed The Board all voted for It. with the
exception OF Mayor Wurster.
The CorOners budget was cut from $4,000 TO
$4,000 The SURROGATE asked for S41 900, and
$40 800 was previously allowed the same as last
year Other Items laid over. The next
meeting will take place on Monday.

THE BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago. Nov. 10.-A special dispatch
from indianapolis Ind. says: Local
bankers and business men without re-
gard to political lines, are expressing
themselves in favor of an organized
movement to bring about a revision of
the currency system.an declaring that
something must be done to remove all
cause of distrust
The majority agree that the green
back must be retired. The suggestion
is also meeting with general favor that
a national meeting of business men be
held to consider the subject and rec
ommend action to be hereafter indorsed
by congress
1t is the purpose to ask theIndianapOlis
board of trade to take the initiative, but
meanwhile, it is proposed to seek the
views Of boards of trade in other cities
in the end that there may be concerted
action So far as the bankers are con
cerned, since the election, they are real
izing more clearly than ever that gold
has been boarded by the people. Daily
deposits are made of gold in muddy
sacks, showing that it was buried in
the earth until the election demOnstra-
ted that it was safe to deposit again.

On examination Mr.. Ensminger

did not think he was in small business
and had gone outside his duties as a po-
lice officer.
THAT is no worse than I saw you do

WANTED HIS LOST c HECKS
An Appar emily Wealthy Man Makes
Curious Demands of St Louis
Bank

St Louis, Nov. 1O.-A finely dressed
man of good appearance walked into
the Citizens bank at noon today and
demanded some checks which he claim
ed had been taken from him on a train
He went to several other banks and
made similar demands and finally found
his way to the fifth floor of the Repub-
lie building where he raised trouble be
cause his checks were not produced on
his demand
An officer was sent for and the man
taken to the Chestnut street police sta
ton and from there to the city dispen-
sary.
He had a pocket full of railroad pass
es which bore the name of w. H. Fry
and seemed to cOrroborate his claim
that he is the superintendent of the Pull
man Car works, though he could not
tell where and was equally uncertain
when asked where he lived
He was sent to the city hospital for
observa ton. The dispensary physicians
were of the opinion that his alteration
is temporary.
