Commissioner I.antry Objects TO Helping
a Money Lender Collect His Dues.
Aman walked into the Office of Fire Com
missioner Lantry yesterday and said he had
been unable to collect various sums OF money
a number of fremen owed him and be would
thank the Commissioner if he would put the
screws on the d~elinquents and make them
come TO time with the money.
What do o mean by putting the screws
on them2" asked the Commissioner
why, bring EN- up on charges. They'll
settle then. That has alw avs been the GUS
tom here
Who are you that I should have the
men up on charges?' the Commissioner
inquired.
The visitor explained that he was a money
lender and had lent sum of money at in,
terest TO the men in the department and
was unable to get what was owing 10 him.
You should 90 to a civil court and sue Tor
whatever you are entitled to, just the same
as any other citizen would DO. This depart
ment ia not going to be a collection agency

care what the custom has been, : the Com

The Commissioner learned hal some OF
the firemen had been in the habit of borrow
ing money toward the end of the month
at a rate of interest that might be con-
adhered luxurious and the lenders we're shy
about taking such cases into court.
The Commissioner said he didn't like the
custom of squeezing the firemen to settle
with their creditors, and he is going TO con-
fer with Deputy Commissioner Hugh Bon

MONTREAL, Quebec, Dec. l2.-Company
A, Fifth Infantry, U. S. A, at Plattsburg'
n. Y, has just received a recruit in the
person Of r. II. Horetzky. a Polish noble
man, who for fourteen years and up TO last
week was a commissioned officer in the I'm
perial English army. The young man served
throughout the Boer war, received several
medals for bravery and at the end OF the
war was sent with his regiment to Halifax
While stationed there he met and fell in
love with a Canadian girl whose home ls IN
81. Johns, Quebec. Their courtship resulted
in an engagement, but the marriage was OPP
posed by Horetzky's mother and brother
officers.
Last summer the last of the Imperial
English troops left Canada, but a number
Of officers were left at Halifax TO instruct
the permanent militia, which now garri-'
son the army posts throughout Canada
Among these was Horetzky, who a short
time ago was promoted to be captain h
opposition TO his love affair finally be-
came so strong that early last fall he Sc
cured a leave Of absence. and in order TO
be as near "a possible to the young lady
and still be on Canadian soil, he came 10 this
city. and has since been making occasional
visits to the young lady in st. Johns.
Horetzky's mother made several visits
10 him here and endeavored to induce him
to give up the girl and return to his army
post, but he would not do 20. His mother
on her last visit to this city consented TO
his giving up his commission in the English
army and enlistinG as a private in Uncle
Sans army. hoping that his experiences as
an enlisted man with possible service in the
Philippines would cure him of his love for
the Canadian girl.
He accordingly went to Plattsburg bar
racks, was sworn into the service and is
now wearing the uniform Of the enlisted
men of the United States army.

Drops Glenn Haughey, Fast End, for

For negligence in work and open
breach of good spirit Coach Weede

The last three days of practice last

to put on a suit he refused. Coach
Weede then gave him to understand

not be countenanced and told him he
would have to practice daily with the
others or turn in his suit.
The action of the coach appears

MARINES DESERT.
They Prefer to Earn SIS Day in san
Francisco.

Washington. Sept 25.-Marines
have been deserving the barracks on
Mare Island. Cal. at rate which has
made it necessary for .Brigadier Gen
eraI G. F. Elliott commanding the
marine corps to detail a second lieu
tenant and several experienced enlisted
men as a squad whose sole duty it is
to search San Francisco for deserters
from the marine corps.
So great has been the demand for
laborers in San Francisco that repre-
sentatives of labor agencies have been
visiting Mare Island and urging the
marines to desert the service and en-
gage in work at San Francisco. where
able bodied men are paid as high as IS
a day for wheeling brick and mortar
and doing other work necessary TO
clear the city of debris.
Appeals by the marine corps TO the
San Francisco police were futile. The
policemen refused to arrest marines
who deserted the service and engaged
in work in San Francisco. Finally the
situation became so desperate that the
commandant at Mare Island appealed
to General Elliott for assistance and he
authorized the creation of the squad
which is patrolling the city and pick
ing up marine deserters.
