DO POLICE GET SALARY
 OR WAGES?
Interesting Discussion of This Subject
 Part of Police Pay Case.
Question Hinges Upon Wtether Police Are ''Salaried'' Officers and Appoint ed for a 'sCertain" Term.

The suit of James H. Sullivan, a ps.- trolnan in the Police Department, against the City of Bridgeport, to re- ceive an increase of pay voted by tEe e Common Council, and refused by tie Board of Police Commissioners, was argued in the Supreme Court in New Haven, yesterday. Fillmore $. Banks appeared for the plaintiff. The city was represented by City Attorney Thos. M. Cullinan.
 MT. Banks explained the position cf the city, saying that the police board claims Mr. Sullivan is not entitled to pay of S325 a day because the board of apportion1nent failed to make an ap- propriation sufficient to meet the iE- crease granted by the council; because the charter says that the salary no officer appointed for a certain term shall be increased while he is l office, ard because of Amendment xxiv to the constitution, which is of the same general effect as the charter pre- vision. !
 MT. Banks denied that a policema l is appointed for "a ''certain' tern !, W ithin the meaning of the charter. ca the contrary he can be removed St will Moreover the plaintiff, accord in to Banks, is not a salaried officer, within the meaning of the charter.
 Mir Cullinan entered into an inter- esting discussion of the difference be- legal standpoint, he said, there is no difference. In practice. it is usual to speak of those in the superior employ ments as receiving salary, and of those in inferior employments as receivin 5 wages.
 Doubtless the Supreme court will set tie this interesting point.

NEW PLANS FOR SUNDAY
 AT TTJF! v M C A

A l IlE MI O A.
 Next Sunday will begin the change in the Sunday afternoon plans at the Young Mems Christian Association. The addresses will not be given in Warner Hall, but in the social and reading rooms. The parlor and read ing room will be made into an an- dience and lounging room and an or chestra will begin with the opening of the building at 2:30 and play until 3:30. The programme will be appropriate but those present will not be expected to give 'concert attention but will be read or gather in groups and talk quietly. In fact the attention will be that of the @.pop'' concert description, it will be a social hour. An hour la ter, at 3:30 o'clock, there will be an ad- dress by a talented speaker usually from some other city. During the op- ening part of this meeting. as in the past, will be heard some of Bridge ports best singers and other musi- clans, and rOusing song service, in which every one joins. After the meeting there will be another short concert by the orchestra during which the men can move about, some go, and others come for the latter part of the afternoon. After the intermission and concert there will be held a Bible class of the most popular nature in which it will be the aim to make men, who do not claim to be Christians, feel perfectly at home and free to both attend and take part in the discussions without their interest being construed as indicating, necessarily any re- markable change in their convictions.
