FINE ON ADDICKS
FOR CONTEMPT

J. Edward Addicl<s was adjudged In
contempt of court yesterday and fined
S4l0 by Justice IfcndriclS of the Su-
rremc Court of New York. The con-
tempt lies in Addicks's persistent fail
ure since January 20, 1907, to appear
for examination in supplementary pro-
ceedings.
James f. A. Clark and other judg-
mcnt creditors who obtained judgment
for s2l29H against Addicks several
years ago got the order for his ex-
animation in supplementary proceed
ings in October 1906 BY consent sue
cessive adjournments were granted till

to wipe out the judgment. He has
paid various sums aggregating about
100000, but more than 100000 is still
due, to say nothing of the interest.
Because Of his persistent failure to
appear Justice HendriclS holds that Ad-
dicks. has been guilty of hagrant con-
tempt of court and directs the sheriff
TO apprehend the gas man and hold

OPPOSES CHANGE IN
FIREMEN'S SALARIES
COUNCILMAN LYON BECOMES
CHAMPION
Plan Suggested Provides Decrease in
Some Instances When Object Is
to Raise Pay of City
Employees

The peculiar plan of the finance COM
mittee for an increase in salaries of
firemen that really means a decrease
until the firemen have served four
years is not likely to pass the council
when the salary ordinance comes be-
fore that body next Tuesday. Coun-
Gilman Lyon has announced himself a
champion for the fire department and
will do his utmost to see that the
finance committees plan does not pass,
but that a different one does.
Lyon says he will demand that the
increase in pay for firemen be spread
over three years only, as is now the
case, instead of five years, and that
the increase extend to the entire de-
partment as high as battalion chief.
He will demand this increase be a
fiat raise of So.
The firemen now receive SIS the first
year, $S3.33 the second year and $50
the third year. The fire commission
asked the finance committee to in
crease the pay of firemen So for each
class, making the pay $50 the first
year, $S7.33 the second year and $95
the third year. The committee re-
ported 1t had granted the increase in
amount, but spread 1t over a period
of five years. This would give the first
year man his present salary of SIS, the
second year $50, third year $S5, fourth
year 500 and fifth year $95. By this
plan the second and third year men
would receive less than they do now,
and the fire commission was much dis
tressed when it learned its plans had
gone so far astray. But Councilman
Lyon says the firemen will get the in
crease intended if he can influence
enough votes mis- way.

Husband Who Deserted Family Years

Himself on Relatives 49,
Now

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-"A father not
willing to regard his children as liza
bility when they are powerless to help
themselves is not entitled to consider
them an asset when they are enjoying
the fruits of prosperity"
This ruling made yesterday by Judge
Williams spoiled the prospects of John
Griffin for becoming a charge on the
family he is alleged to have deserted
thirty-seven years ago.
Griffin is 81 years old. His four chill
dren told the court of the existence of
their dead mother and how she labored
at the wash tub to educate and clothe
them.
The testimony showed that previous
to his disappearance Griffin made 81
a day as lumber pusher" around the
docks and dissipated much of his earn
ings.
In leaving the courtroom the son
said:
II am worth at least $4,000, and am
willing to make liberal donation to
ANY worthy person who appeals for
aid, but that old man will never get a
