NEW FIRE AND POLICE BOARD
WILL WRESTlE WITH WAGES
VIII he Confronted at Once by the
Problem of Adjusting the
Salaries.

Adjustment of men employed in the fire
and police departments will be put up TO
the new Board Of Fire and Police Commits
sioners which takes office Monday. The
old board has worked on the question for
weeks in vain,
City Attorney Burnam has advised the
board that waivers Of the increased pay
accorded by the new charter might not be
legal. A member of either force signing
the waiver could later in the year go into
court and by setting up the claim that he
was forced to sign the waiver under COM
pulsion might secure judgment against
the city for the increased pay. The city
attorney believes that the best thing that
could be done would he to ask the men to
sign a contract to work for a certain
amount for the year. A contract would
hold while there is a possibility that the
courts might hold the signing Of a waiver
is the same as signing away wages, and
therefore knock out the whole proceedings.
Members OF both forces say they will
stand by a waiver or anything else they
might sign, but the board members say
they cannot be too careful and must guard
against any DEMONSTRATION later In the
year.

The hat Erabber is the latest type OF
thief to make his bow In the lime light of

Farnam street, when the masculine admirer
OF her new bonnet lifted the piece Of ANAL
gamated birds wings, wire, silk worm

the mass of hirsute decoration which il
covered.
A terrific scream, making the hotel clerk
think that a frightful crime was being
committed or that a new kline Of auto horn
was being tried out. was the only form of
remonstrance Mrs. Palmer could offer at
the time. but after a night Of bewailment.
she confided the facts in the case to the
police. who are now hunting for the pur-

Looking for the
Bank Robbers
National Surety Company Man Comes
to Consult the Police Of
Omaha.

Hoping TO interest the Omaha police In
a close search for the Cairo bank robbers
in Omaha, r. A. Algire of the National
Surety company was in the city Friday and
called at the police station. He has just
finished adjusting the loss of the Cairo
bank and says the early reports Of the
amounts involved we're substantially cor
rect. About $3.50 is offered as a reward
for the arrest and conviction of the four
men who are supposed to have done the
york.
An unusual feature of the case is pointed
out by AlEire in the fact that no breast
works or temporary defense of any kind
were thrown up around the bank 10y the
men who guarded the place against sur
prise while one or more other robbers blew
and rifled the safe.
It is thought that the robbers may be APP
pretended when they attempt to use the
money they secured, for much of it is
thought to have been mutilated when the

LySle Abbott
Offers Bond and
it is Refused
Dry Excise Board Candidates Take
Perfunctory Action to Get
Legal Status.

Lysle |. Abbott, one Of the candidates OF
the Anti-Saloon league for the Board Of
Fire and Police Commissioners, offered his
official bond to the city clerk Saturday
noon. but that official refused to accept
ii, and Mr.. Abbott replaced II In his pocket
and left the office. He said he would re-
turn Monday with tn, other three candi-
dates and would then ask the clerk to ac-
cept the -four bonds.
when were you elected % asked Deputy
City Clerk Daily Of Mr.. Abbott. and the
latter replied that he WAS elected on May
4, though he said he had received no cef-
tificate of election,
The clerk refused the bond for the rea-
son that II had not been approved by a
district Judge. MIR. Abbott said that as he
read the charter and the statutes Of the
state the bond did not have to be approved.
but that he would look this up before Mon
day.
The Abbott bond is with the National
Fidelity and Casualty company ard says

that whereas Lysle l. Abbott was on the
4th day of May. 1909, elected to the office
Of fire and police commissioner Of Omaha
for the term Of three years, or until his
successor Is duly elected and qualified"
The filing Of the bonds of the Anti-S1-
loon league candidates for the excise board
Is merely a perfunctory matter and to give
the candidates a standing in the law in the
event the supreme court overrUles the de-
cislon of the lower court, whereby the
republican and democratic committees
filled their ticket by designating certain
candidates for the board.
