The Salem Statesman says of the
movement for increased pay for em-
ployes of the Oregon insane asylum:
The members of the state asylum
board yesterday found themselves
confronted with no easy matter to
dispose of in the apportionment of
the increase in salaries, provided for
in the extra appropriation of 100000
made by the legislature.
When the bill was threshed out on
the floor of the house, one of the vi
tai questions on which the bill passed
was that no employe receiving $50
month or more was to have an in
crease in salary, This was under
stood, although no amendment to
this effect was made TO the measure
When this fact became known at
the asylum, war was on, declared by
those who were graded at $50 or
more per month. 1t is alleged that
threats were made that unless they
came in for their share of the in
crease, there would be a strike, and
they would walk out. Several en-
plpytS VI lllt asylum SNdltu llldl lllt
entire force would have stood togeth-
er on this contention for an impair
tial increase.
In consideration of the matter,
however, the board felt that as the
legislature had not amended the bill
restricting the apportionment in this
manner, tht 1t would be the wisest
policy to let them all come in under
the benefit of additional pay.
To this end Governor Chamberlain
and Superintendent Calbreath waded
throuh the list of employees and their
salaries and readjusted the compen-
sation of each person, so that they
would all be treated alike.
The pay of asylum employees
ranges from $50 per month for farm
help to s110 for head bookkeeper.
The majority of the employees receive
$40, $55, $50 and s65 per month and
most of these will receive a small in
crease under the extra appropria-
ton of 100000 for that purpose.

What to do with the dog ordinance
that has been drafted and was pre-
sented at the last council meeting IS
the absorbing question now confront
ing the city administration. Since
las; Wednesday the subject is one
that has been freely discussed about
the city, and those who have dogs
or are disposed to be friendly to-
wards the canine family, have been
strong ia making their feelings
known 10 the aldermen. As a re-
suit the councilmen have taken no.
tice' and there are now signs that
when the ordinance is placed on
passage, If it ever is, the anti-dogists
viii not have a walkover.
The ordinance presented last
Wednesday provided for the doubling
cf the present dog tax and for pro
hibiting dogs from running at large
On Main and Court streets. Before
this ordinance Is adopted there are
many who favor a vigorous enforce
ment Of the present law to see II
the result will not suffice. The
present ordinance provides for a
tax of s1.50 per head on male dogs
and SO per head on female dogs. the
tax to he payable during March. All
dogs FOUND after April ! without be-
ing paid for may be seized by the
marshal, who generally delegates
that duty to dog catcher. One who
refuses or fails to pay taxes upon a
dog belonging to him is subject to a
fine Of from IS to 500, or to impris-
onment in the city Jail.
According to one councilman n
vigorous enforcement of the present
ordinance for about two weeks dur
ing April would so clear the CITY of
stray towsers that there would then
be little room for complaint.
This evening a special meeting of
the council will be held, and IT is
probable that the dog question will
divide honors with charter changing
as subject for discussion.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING.
Sprinkling, Charter and CANNES VIII
Be Discussed,

Tonight a special meeting of the
city council will be held for the pur-
pose of taking up and disposing of
matters now pending. The meeting
was called for tonight because neither
the mayor nor city attorney will be
able to be present next week, as both
will have to be in Salem at that time
to argue a case before the supreme
court.
Among the business now before the
council is the proposition of street
sprinkling. The bids submitted over
week ago are still in the hands of
the sprinkling committee and It is
understood that the bid of A. L. Vogel,
which was the lower, will be accept
ed.
The question of changing the char
ter may also come up tonight, while
the proposed dog ordinance may also
be disposed of.

RYCRAFT UNDER ARREST
Accused of Living by Earnings of a
Prostitute.

H. A. Rycraft, a gambler who left
here a few weeks age, is now held at
the county Jail upon the charge of
having lived off the earning of a
prostitute. He was arrested at Una
tilla yesterday by Marshal Kelly and
brought back to this place. An in
formation was filed against him this
afternoon by District Attorney Phelps.
Rycraft was arrested here at the
same time as c. c. Sabin alias ]. b.
Kerr. However, the evidence against
him at that time was insufficient and
he was allowed to go. The evidence
against him now is stronger.
1t was learned this afternoon that
Josie Lamont, the principal witness
against Sabin has left town, which
fact may make It difficult for the
state to secure a conviction in that
case.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW ORLEANS. August 31.-The United
States Sulphur Company, dominated by the
Rockefeller interests. has terminated its
agreement with the italian producers and
will now seek to control the worlds supply
of sulphur. This means that New Orleans
will be the greatest birthstone port In the
world. for all the mineral produced by the
company in Calcaseu parish, La, where
mines valued at $1O,O0O,O0O are located,
passes through here. Italian producers
have been forced into an agreement with
the Louisiana mines whereby an under
standing was reached regarding the output
and distribution Of the product. The United
States Sulphur Company has been protect
ing Italian interests in the past. and its
European shipments heretofore have been
comparatively small The mines have been
operated for several months on reduced
scale because Of accumulated stocks, but
within the last week both day and night
shifts have been put on and shipments are
being made from both New Orleans and Sa-
bine, Tex. Especial attention will be given
to supplying France and Germany. The
American producers already control the do
mestic business. 1t Is war to the knife with
the Italian interests. with the chances that
the Rockefeller combine will win out in

dition to the high dignitaries of the church
there will be present leaders in the po-
litical and civil life of the city.
BALTIMORE, August 31.-Cardinal Glib
bons expects to leave here next Tuesday
morning for Boston to attend the funeral
of Archbishop Williams. The cardinal, who
returned to his residence today from the
annual retreat of the Catholic clergy of
this diocese expressed regret at his inabil-
ity to preach the sermon over his beloved
friend, on account of the physical drain
upon his strength which the journey and
the strain of the services to follow would
entail He spoke In affectionate terms OF
the late archbishop dwelling on the marked
influence he eXerted over his colleagues
and in New England.
The cardinal said: Archbishop Williams
was a most prominent figure in our pro-
ceedings and always possessed marked
influence in the deliberations of his ep1sco-
pal brethren. He was justly regarded as
the nestor of the American hierarchy. He
was a man of solid judgment, great pru-
dence and discretion, and inclined to taci-
turnity He rarely took much part in the
deiibel ations except that he was an at
tentive listener Whatever remarks he
made were usually expressed In few words
at the end of the proceedings, and always
exerted marked influence on his COL
leagues.
"He was q personal friend. indeed, the
dearest among the episcopate, our acqualnt-
ance going back to forty-one years ago az
the time of the second plenary council held
in Baltimore in 1856. He was the only
bishop at the time of his death who at
tended the last two councils at Baltimore,
in 1866 and 1884. AS years rolled on our
acquaintance ripened into friendship, which
continued unaltered to the hour OF his
death We met again in 1863 and 1870,
during the Vatican council at Rome. We
spent some six months at the American
college there attending the proceedings.
Archbishop Williams made no speech at
that council, but was most attentive to its
deliberations. We were again thrown to-
gether in 1888. when we. with the other
archbishops In the United States, were
called to Rome to consider some questions
before the assembling of the plenary coun-
ell which took place here in November,
1884, and for the last twenty years he has
been visiting me twice a year on the oc-
casion of our meetings of archbishopS at
Washington at those periods.

a wealthy farmer at Parksville. N. Y, has
brought suit for $1,000 damages in the su-

one of Reisler's employees. Palmer fell
asleep in the BARRIERS chair, he says, after
having told the man simply to trim his
whiskers. but the barber sheared off all
the whiskers and shaved his face
The application of a wet towel on Palm
er's face awoke him and when he realized
that his beard was gone he sought a law
