FREEHOLDERS AND SALARIES
Remuneration of City Officials Dis
cussed-Educationa Matters

The salary question was the sole subject
under discussion at the meeting of the
board of freeholders last evening and in
duced some lively discussion. A marked
tendency was developed to use the axe.
The mayors salary was the first consid
cred. The proposed increase to $4,000 per
annum was not approved but a recon-
mendation of $4,000 was passed. The COM
mittee's recommendation that each coun-
Gilman shall receive 1920 year went
through without question. The salary of
the city clerk was not so easily settled. The
committee had agreed on $4,000 as proper
salary for this position, which Is $500 less
than at present. Judge Croft was in favor
of a greater cut but this was not consid-
cred. Mr.. Crutcher addressed the board
on the duties of the clerks office. He
moved that the salary be increased to
s2iOO. which was finally passed. In the
matter Of the city auditor the present sal
ary of s24OO was favored by the committee.
In spite of Mr.. Garland's objection to so
low q figure the treasurers salary was
placed at $1,000 per annum. The city as
SCISSOR, under the new charter, will receive
S24O0, $500 more than approved by the COM
mittee 1t was decided without discussion
TO fix the salary of the city engineer at
s240O. When the city attorneys salary was
named by the committee at s240O it was the
sign for a general expression of disap-
prevail The committee had placed a valu-
alton Of s24O0 on this position, which was
worth, according to Mr.. Graft, $1,000. Mr.
Crutcher seconded Mr.. Crafts motion for
an increase and stated that the present sal
airy of the city attorney was made in 1889
when the city had a population of only 49,
900. After much wrangling $4,000 was agreed
upon. The superintendent of buildings
shall receive $4,000 per annum. According
to the report of the committee $500 should
satisfy the street superintendent. This
amount might have been satisfactory had
1t been allowed to pass, but 1t was not. The
board increased it to s24oo, as they did the
salary of the tax collector. The future
health officer will receive, If the charter Is
approved s2400 and the chief of police $3OOO
AS a change the hoard discussed educa-
tional affairs and decided that the mem
bers of the hoard of education should not
work for glory but that each member
should receive 1900 a year. The salary of
the secretary was fixed at 1920 year The
city school superintendent under the new
charter will receive NOT less than $4,000 and
each Of his deputies is to receive not less
than $500 per annum.
Where the salaries are not fixed by the
provisions of the charter. the council has
been given the right to fix them by ordi-
nance
Upon motion of Judge variel the follow

SHE WANTED AFUNfRAl
ROSA EVANS, A WAITRESS, ENDS
HER LIFE
The Reasons for Her Desperate Act
Not Yet Discovered-The
Usual Man

Miss Rosie Evans, aged q years, wait
ress employed in the Chicago restaurant on
West Second street, committed suicide yes
terday morning by taking dose of laud-
anum In, her room in the Dresden lodging
house, No. 224 South Main street. The rea-
son for the young woman's act seems to
have been the result of lovers quarrel.
The poisoned girl was discovered by
the landlady yesterday morning. She
had written a brief note in which she
requested that her body be sent to the I'M
dertaking establishment of Booth & Boyl
son. and requesting that ]. V. Mills. who is
a commission merchant at III East Second
street take charge of her funeral The note
also stated that perhaps her father could
explain her erasons for takingi her life.
Mills is thought to be the man in the case.
for he was certainly at one time attentive
to the young woman. According to the
statements of Mrs. Markham he had been
engaged to Miss Evans Several months
ago this engagement was broken of, but
for what reason Mrs. Markham could not
state The girl went to work as usual at
the Chicago restaurant. where she had been
employed for five years past. None OF her
associates, so far as, could be learned, OBJ
served any particular difference IN her ac-
tions and she seemed to be as happy and
light hearted as ever. Something evidently
had been preying ON her mind, and judging
from her remarks to ]. Boylson of the I'M
dertaking firm, she must have contem-
plated suicide for some time past. On one
occasion she asked him what he would
give her and he replied in jocular manner
the best funeral she ever had. This seemed
to make an impression on her, for every
time he would visit the restaurant after
that day she would make some reference
to the funeral. Her request that his firm
take charge of her remains indicates that
she had long been contemplating her act.
Mills refused to make any statement re-
garding his acquaintance with the your g
oman Her father also declined to ex-
plain the cause for his daughters act until
otter the inquest. although admitting that
he could clear up the matter II he so de.
sired At the restaurant the girl was given
an excellent reputation. She has sister,
Mrs. Laura Cleveland. residing at Univer-
sity who carried away the note left by
Rosie The inquest will be held at 10 o'clock
this morning.
