FOLK WANTS BACK PAY
FILES SUIT FOR MONEY
City of ST. Louis Made Defendant by
Governor of Missouri, Who Asks
that He Be Awarded Nearly $4,000
in Salary.
IPublishers' Press.l

Jefferson City, Mo-, Dec. 1S.-Suit
was filed in the Circuit Court at st.
Louis today by Counsel representing
Governor Folk against the city OF st
Louis, to enforce the payment of :;
balance of his salary as circuit attor-
ney alleged to be long overdue. Gov
ernor Folk says he is entitled to S5,-
S33.33, back salary.
When Governor Folk took office as
circuit attorney of St. Louis, January
L, 1901, the salary was $4,000 year
When in 1901. the legislature increas-
ed the salary to $4,000, Folks salary
was paid at the increased figure until
October, 1908. when the question of
the legality of these payments was
raised. The city attorney ruled that
the act of 1901 did not apply TO
Folks term of office. Mr.. Folk
thereupon refused to accept remuner-
alton at the reduced rate and drew no
more salary during the rest of his
term, which expired December 81

Atty. Robbins Says City
Should Have Had an Oral
Hearing in Lincoln Suit.
ATTY. STUDY SAYS NOT
HE CONTENDS THAT THE CITYS
ATTORNEY DID NOT ASK FOR
AN ORAL HEARING HIS
STATEMENT.

Attorney John F. Robbins, who
represented the city in the case of
Mrs. Emma Lincoln against the mu-
nicipality, which case was recently
passed up on by the Supreme court,
the Judgment for $4,000 damages as
awarded by the lower court being
sustained, said yesterday the SUI
preme Court had promised to hear
oral argument on the points at issue,
but tor some cause had not notified
the city that the case was to be con-
sidered. According to Attorney Rob-
bins the city in its ownership of the
electric light plant bears the same
relation to such plant as it does to
it's police and fire departments and
for same reason that the city cannot
be held liable in law for the acts of
it's servants neither can the city be
held liable for damages which may
result from mismanagement of such
plant. The lighting of the streets, it
is contended, is a governmental duty
the same as the patroling of the city
by police. The Supreme Court, how
ever, failed to take this view of the
case, but should a petition for re-
hearing be filed and receive favor
able action, the city's main point of
contention will be along this nue.
City Attorney Study occupies a
rather peculiar relation to this ac-
tion. Previous to the time that he
was made city attorney and before
he had any idea hat political condi-
tions locally would soon pilot him in
to the position he now holds. he was
the attorney for Mrs. Lincoln and
won the suit His first duty being to
his earlier client. he could not there
fore, as city attorney, look after the
interests of his later client in this
case. City Attorney Study as Mrs.
Lincoln's attorney does NO. believe
that the city was entitled to present
oral argument in the case.
Attorney Thos. j. Study said to the
Palladium last night: LAS attorney
for Mrs. Lincoln in this suit, il the
city filed petition for an oral hearing
/ know nothing of it. Suffice to say,
the city never filed such petition and
had no right to do so. 1t is strange
that Judge Monk should promise a
party something which they had TO
right to and for which they had not
even asked.
"As Mrs. Lincoln's attorney, I ask.
ed for an oral hearing, but did not get
it. That l did not get it is no
ground for the city to claim a rehear
ing. Both points on which the city
asks for a rehearing have been decid
ed by the highest courts and always
the decision has been unfavorable 10
the contention which the local MI.
is making. A recent decis
ion was that in Bartholomew county.

Mr.. Robbins is in no wise to blame
that an oral hearing was not grained

Lanky PatroIman Admits to
Commissioners that He
Shot a Frisky Rabbit.
GOES BACK ON THE FORCE
A SEVERE REPRIMAND AND TEN
DAYS LAYOFF WITHOUT PAY
WAS HIS PUNlSHMENT-LO
SESSION OF BOARD.

William B. Golden, the lanky pa
trolman who has figured in many ex-
citing episodes in the past few
weeks, and who was suspended ten
days ago, for shooting inside the city
limits when not on official duty, last
night plead guilty to the charges pre-
ferred against him at meeting
of the Board of Police Commission
ers in the city court room. Golden
was severely reprimanded for his
conduct. and in addition was depriv-
ed of any pay during his ten days
suspension awaiting hearing. Had he
been declared innocent of the char
ges, he would have received pay for
the time he was off duty.
The consideration of the Golden
Golden case occupied the attention of
the Board for more than three and
one half hours last night. and it goes
down on record as being one of the
longest sessions of the Board of Po.
lice Commissioners ever held in the
city. All evidence was discussed and
rehashed by the members and Mr.
Golden was then called into the SAN
ctuary where he admitted his guilt
The reprimand of the Board then fol-
lowed quickly.
Golden was charged with shooting
a rabbit on North Sth street near II,
early one morning week before last,
as he was returning to his home, af-
ter being dismissed from his nightly
duties. Golden was "joshed" about
the matter by his friends and the af-
fair reached the ears Of the members
of the Police Board, the charge was
placed against him, and he was dis
missed pending examination of the
case.
Shortly after IL o'clock last night,
after he had learned the decision of
the Board, Golden one more assumed
his position as patrolman, and start
ed out on his old beat"
Golden is reported to have told one
of his friends last night after the
hearing, that $40 was too much for
him to pay for a rabbit. and hence
forth he would buy them where cot
ton tails were sold at twentx cents

Senate in Debate Shows II
Will Oppose Coast Defense
Appropriations.
HALE OPPOSES MEASURE
SENATOR FROM MAINE CHARG-
ED THAT VALUABLE GUNS
WE'RE CREASED AND PUT
AWAY THERE BEING NO NEED
FOR THEM.
Publishers Press.l

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1S.-The
committee on military affairs of the
Senate made it perfectly plain in a
debate in the Senate this afternoon
that it would oppose any further ap-
propriations for coast defense until
legislation was passed providing
enough men to man the guns already
mounted.
The discussion came up over the
consideration of bill providing for
an increase in the artillery corps and
it's deep Significance lay in the fact
that the opposition to the measure
came from Mr.. Halo, the chairman
of the committee on naval affairs.
The Senator from Maine declared
that there was always a strong pres
sure for increases in money and men
for the army. In replying to the dec
laration of Mr.. Warren that there
were now three times as many guns
as there were men to handle them
said that lack of guns and of men
would indicate that the country had
no enemies.
Mr.. Warren interjected the remark
that if there were no enemies 1t was
wonder the government expended
about $15,O0O.OO0 annually for FORTH
cations.
He charged that valuable guns
could be found in coast Notifications
creased and covered with canvass
and said that in case OF war this
great defense system would be rem
dered useless because there would be
no one to man the guns. He said he
expected to call his measure up later
and press it before the Notifications
bill was acted upon SO that 1t could
be determined whether congress in
tended to fool away any more money.

COMPLAIN ABOUT THE ICE
Said That Several Horses Fell on
Main Street Bridge Yesterday
Ashes Needed.

The police department received
considerable complaint from persons
driving across the Main street bridge
yesterday, owing to the great amount
of ice on the driveway. As the
bridge slopes slightly to the east, it
was very difficult for hcNses to keep
their footing, and it is reported that
several horses fell during the day. 1t
is probable that Street Commissioner
Dye will see that ashes are placed
upon the gridge in order to cut the
ice, in case it does not melt today.
