POLICE GET BEST OF DEAL
Firemen Get the Small End of
BrOatch's New salary
Schedule.

The action Of the Board Of Fire and Po-
lice commissioners in raising the salary
of the police captains from $50 to S1lO
month, or the maximum amount allowed
by the new law, while a service scale has
been arranged for the FIRE captains, has
caused considerable adverse comment.
The board adopted a resolution making
the pay OF fire captains in the service less
than FIVE years $50 a month, more than
five and less than ten years, 500 month,
and more than ten years, $110 month.
All previously have been paid $S5 An
inspection of the payroll for April shows
that there is not a single fire captain who
will draw more than the minimum of $50.
''I don't understand why police captains
in the service only few months should
get more than fire captains who have risked
their lives for years." said Councilman
Zimman yesterday. II don't suppose the
council can do anything as the police board
has the right to fix the salaries wt-hin
the limits set by the law, but some force
ought to be exerted to make the COM
missloners change this ruling"

WAGES OF CITY LABoRERS
Comptroller westberE Says He VIII
Not Sign Warrants for Pub
lie Works Men.

Men who worked for the city during the
month Of April may have to resort to court
procedure to get their pay II City Comp
troller Westberg keeps his word. He said
yesterday that he would refuse to sign a
single warrant for Board OF Works en-
ploye, because their names and com2pn-
sation bad not been submitted to the coun-
ell for approval Immediately after the
charter amendments went into effect.
No time sheet for the employees was
submitted to the comptroller by the board
to be included in the April appropriation
ordinance. The long sickness OF Chairman
Rosewater Of the board and the failure OF
the council to meet for several weeks have
contributed to delaying the sending in Of
the lists to the council
Although Westberg declares he will rot
sign the warrants, all lawyers about the
city hall, including Judge Hascall, say that
the men who worked are entitled to heir
money and cannot be prevented from re-
ceiving it. Most of them already have as
signed their wages and IL any one is the
loser it will be the loan agents.

ST. JOSEPH. Mo, May Especial Tele-

nights is not so alarming as at first indi-
Gated. Large growers of wheat today say
the crop in the uplands is not badly in
jured, but on the low sections and river
bottoms the yield will be very small, owing
TO the heavy frosts. A few fields are killed,
other fields are set back so much that
continued wet weather will totally de-
stroy them. Strawberry growers are heavy
sufferers, many acres . Of berries being
killed. The apple yield will not materially
be affected, according to horticulturists.

traOrdinary Precautions
Being Taken.

CoNsTANTINoPLE May IA state Of
siege has been proclaimed at salonica and
extraordinary military precautions have
been ordered everywhere in the empire, as
1t is anticipated that outrages similar to
those perpetrated here yesterday may be

that he did not like to do so, buried her

Dr. Kellogg, the man in whose sani-

he had done so on account of the plead

The story OF poor Mary Rodgers is as
