SENATE PASSES ARMY BILL
Approves Measure to Increase
Salaries of Officers

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The army
pay bill was passed by the senate to-
day. The bill provides for army Off
GERS a graded increase of pay ranging
fl ON per cent for lieutenant generals
to 20 per cent for junior officers. 1t
also provides that the average pay OF
enlisted men of the army as now es-
tablished be increased 40 per cent
This amendment, suggested by Cul-
berson OF Texas, takes away the discre-
tion OF the president in fixing the pay
of soldiers.
Senator Scott read a letter from a
banker who said that army officers
paid per cent interest per month to
have their salaries discounted because
their incomes were so small
An amendment was offered by Bacon
and adopted giving six months pay to
families of officers and enlisted men
upon heir death.
hebnavy pay bill, equalizing the pay
corps with the pay of officers of the
army, was ordered favorably reported
to the house today by the committee
on naval affairs. That committee also
agreed to report favorably the bill ex-
tending to rear admirais who were re-
tired by the passage of the naval per-
sonnel act in 1899 the benefits of that
act. whereby the rate of their retired
pay Will be increased
Agreement was reached by the COM
mittee to report favorably the naval
militia bill introduced by Chairman
Foss, which gives the navy department
control over the naval militia.

OAKLAND, March 6.-The board OF
method of disposing OF waste and USE
less material by auction sale today, a
quantity of iron and junk from the old
county jail building having been sold
to the highest bidder from the court
house steps.
But for the fact that the material
was about as portable as Admiral Ev-
ans famous eellarful of water, it is
doubtful, in the light of past history.
whether an auction would have been
held today. The stuff consisted of iron
doors, gratings and wrought iron steps
weighing more than a ton and a half.
1t brought $50 from a junk dealer after
bidding had started at s25.
The auction was authorized several
weeks ago by the board. AT the time
Supervisor III. d. Rowe asked whether
auctions were regular things and
whether there had not been a few pri-
yate affairs of the sort held with coun-
ty property.
Where is the clock which has been
on the walls of the supervisors cham
Der for so long?" asked Rowe. Il see
it has been replaced by an electric self
winding and regulating clock. but what
| want TO know is, where is the old
one? 1t stood in the corner for some
months after 1t had been taken down,
and now 1t has disappeared. Where did
it sog--. No information was forthcom-
ing.
At other times Rowe has asked re-
garding the disposing of more than a
score of heating stoves taken from the
county buildings when the basement
heating plant was installed. Later a
number Of radiators We're replaced with
newer ones, and Rowe was never able
to learn where the old ones went
The isolated member of the board of

of linoleum taken from the floors of the
county clerks office and replaced with

WATER COMPANY IS
DENIED new TRIAL
Contra Costa Corporation to
Fight 100000 Damage yer-
dict in Supreme Court
Award Given Niehaus for Loss
Caused by Low Pressure
Bitterly Contested

: OAKLAND. March e.-Judge Els
worth denied a motion for new trial
made today in behalf OF the Contra
Costa water company in the famous
suit for damages won by Niehaus broth
ers company against the corporation
two years ago. Niehsus brothersS al
legged that their manufacturing plant
in West Berkeley had been destroyed
by fire because of the low water press
ure, and they were awarded damages
approximating 100000 by a jury. The
award never has been paid, and the
water company has prepared to contest
1t In the upper courts in case of failure
TO obtain new trial.
Attorney Samuel knight appeared for
the water company today and argued
for an hour and a half He claimed
that Niehaus had no contract with the
water company assuring him from pro-
lection against fire, and that as mat
ter of fact the pressure in the mains at
that point was so low that the COM
pany never would have given such as
surance. Niehaus received his water
for rates considerably below what he
should have paid. knight contended
and 1t was during discussion of this
feature that whatever assurance of
protection against fire he may have re-
eeiyed was incidentally given by an
unauthorized empioye of the company.
A feature of his argument on which
knight laid stress was that lack of
water, the cause complained of, was
negative contention, and that unless
Niehaus' premises had been deluged by
water from the company's mains there
would be no actual cause of complaint.
1t is expected that the case will be
taken at once to the supreme court, as
Attorney Eugene f. Trefethen, asso-
ciated with the defense of the water
company, has in preparation a bill of
exceptions containing more than 1000
pages.

FIFTY TINY FIRE
VICTIMS INFERRED
Funeral Corteges and Mourning
Throngs Crowd Streets of
Stricken CoIlinwood

CLEVELAND. o., March 6--Funeral
professions began today to wend their
way toward the cemeteries bearing the
battered and charred bodies of some of
the 167 children who perished In
Wednesday mornings fire in the Lake
view school at Collinwood. From
O'Clock in the morning Until dark there
was no cessation in the funeral cor
teges. Those who had no dead to mourn
as personal loss stood by in the
streets with barred heads as the sor-
rowful professions passed.
One of the saddest funerals was that
of the three children of Janitor Hirter,
held Jointly with the services for three
other little ones. Mutterings against
the janitor could be heard about the
village as grief crazed parents sought
an object upon which to wreak ven
geance. forgetting, as they did. that
Hirter himself was walking with
bowed head and broken heart behind
the bodies of three of his own little
ones. A detail OF police was placed
about the Hirter home when. the hour
for the funeral came. Fully 500 per-
sons had gathered. but when the collins
were carried TO the doorway the crowd
spread and opened the way for them
without protest or expression of hos
tility.
Altogether there were so bur1alS to-
day, and tomorrow the sad task will be
repeated. Sunday win see the last OF
the individual burials, and on Monday
the bodies of all those who are uniden-
titled will be laid to rest at once.
Tonight there are 2S of these bodies
that await claimants
Testimony describing the mad rush
to death of the school children was
given today at the continued session
of the coroner's inquest Stories of
heroism on the part of the women
teachers were recited.
In a statement today Chief Wallace
of the Cleveland fire department said
that the loss of life would not have
been so great had there been no par
titions at the sides of the storm doors
at the rear entrance. Two feet eight
inches had been taken off either side
of the hall for the partitions. His ex-
animation developed that the doors
opened outward.
With the appropriation OF s25,000 to-
day by the Ohio legislature and the
funds subscribed locally, there will be
plenty of financial relief for the strick-
en- families.

clubdom is torn asunder with dissen-

clubhouse which the Parlor lecture club
is considering. Trouble has been
brewing among the prominent club
women members for some months, but
the climax was reached at a meeting
yesterday when Mrs. J. S. Jones, former
president and trustee Of the club stock,
rendered her resignation. stating that
she had been grossly insulted by the

During Mrs Jones administration OF
two years a fund was raised and plans
matured for a very substantial club
house to cost about $4,000. The con-
servatives deemed this too costly a
building and opposed Mrs. JoRes and
her supporters. This divided the club
INTO two factions and this year pres

servatives, Mrs. George Babcock. Her
directors in the main sided with her in
opposing Mrs. Jones. who is also a di-
rector and trustee for the club stock
Yesterday matters were not minced IN

charged with holding secret conclaves.
Some of the directors had sought legal
