No Work, No Pay.

CHICAGO, June 4.-Real work for
policemen or no pay is the threat by
ChicagOs police chief who unfeelingly
asserts that the police sinecures shall
be abolished, that the warming of lazy
chairs in city hall departments shall
not be retCognized on the payroll. Il am
tired of being called down by the
city controller for failing to econo-
mize," said Chief Shippy. "If the de-
partments that are using my men as
telephone operators, messengers, office
boys, ushers, ETC., would reimburse this
department for their salaries it would
have enough policemen to patrol the
city properly and my payroll would be
much smaller"

of the appointment of Mr.. McCOn-
aughv as receivers, the Inland had in
assets only about $50 in cash and
their Office furniture, maps, etc.. will
they had about 100000 at risk with
unpaid fire losses of several thousand
dollars. In sadition to the assets as
stated above, there was quite sum
due from agents scattered all over
Me United States, but Immediately
upon the appointment of the receiver
these agents proceeded to cancel the
policies written by them and it was
impossible to collect more than small
per cent of such balances. The agents
of the Inland company had hard work
placing their policies, owing to the
fact that people ordinarily understand
that in accepting a mutual policy they
are thereby becoming liable as MEM
bers of the company, and for this
reason an attempt was made at one
time to organize stock company out
of the Inland, but the negotiations fell
through.

The plan of placing such a sign on

by well-known business man who re-
called the interest taken in the Watch
Tacoma Grow sign at the Lewis &
Clark exposition. With the one
"Walla" shining OLE through the night,
hundreds and thousands of people, it
is argued, would at once endeavor to
ferret out the re al significance of the
sign, and with the flash of the second
portion of the word, would be given
an idea of the country so advertised. In
connection with the sign, It is held that
a large quantity of reading matter,
pert, pointed and brief, should be dis
tributed among exposition visitors

resources, but terse well-Worded slo-
gan, telling what train to take in order
to see this valley; what to expect after
arrival here, and to impress upon the
fasteners the fact that they had not
seen the real west until they had paid
a visit to the Walla Walla valley
Although the matter has not yet been
brought before the Commercial club
directors, it is probable that it will be
considered at the next meeting Those
who have been informed as to the ad-
vertising that would accrue from the
unique sign are heartily in favor of in

Secretary of War Dickinson, strug-

have a great value IN actual warfare.
Before making a flight is must wait
upon favorable conditions. Even then
it will have difficulty in escaping hos
tile bullets and shells. The dirigible,
however is in a fair stage of efficien-
cy. 1t can soar at great heights under
fair control. For scouting purposes it
would be invaluable, to an invading
army. It is not likely that sufficient
explosives can be carried in dirigibles
to do great damage or that they can
be dropped with sufficient accuracy to
make it worth while, but for spying
out of the enemy's position, laying bare
the system of defense, the position of
troops and the weakness Of the line, it's
help in military operations will be in
valuable.
Elaborate equipment is required for
dirigibles however Balloon sheds must
be constructed and gas generating
plants and gas tubes for conveying the
gas provided. All of these require a
large outlay of money.

FIRST SETTLER TITLE
OF CHICAGO DISPUTED
But BY Agreement One Will Be Known
as First Settler and the Other
as Pioneer.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE title of first
settler of Chicago is in dispute. The
crown which has so long rested on the
brow of Fernando Jones, ninety years
old, has been disturbed by claimant
who was a resident six years before
Jones came 10 look up the site of old
Fort Dearborn. William O. Clarke has
presented his claim for pioneer hon
Ors and has met the man whose claim
as the first settler of Chicago has not
been disputed since the organization
of the Chicago Pioneers. BY mutual
agreement between the nonogenarians
Mr.. Jones is to retain his title as first
settler, while Mr.. Clark will be known
as the pioneer.
Mr.. Clark was born in Madison Ind,
June %, 1917. and came to Chicago in
1929. Fernando Jones arrived in 1885
with a carload of stoves which hts
eastern friends had told him he never
could sell in Chicago but which were
snapped up in a few days. 1t was a
struggling town scattered over the
prarie from the present Chicago ave-
nue. to Twelfth street and from Halsted
street to the lake. 1-2 square miles
of mud, frame structures and frog
ponds. Now the city extends 1912
miles south. 8 1-2 miles north and nine
miles west from the court house.
