CITY PHYSICIANS APPEAR

Before the Committee on Ordinance.
Charter and Reform last night the
report of the subcommittee recon-
mendins twenty additional policemen
was discussed, but, in view OF points
brought out which could not be set
lied without more information, the
matter was laid on the table until
tomorrow night. Members of the
Board of Police Commissioners will
at that time be invited to appear be-
fore the committee. Alderman Moore.
of Washington Ward presented a
minority report recommending thirty
new men as originally asked for by
the board.
AS whole, the committee seems to
be In favor of a substantial increase
in the force, but wants to know how
many new officers there will be II the
increase is granted Alderman Moore
and Councilman Brown, of Washing
ton Ward are anxious for more men
in South Richmond, and say that an.
other sergeant Is needed
Physicians Want Increase.
Several district physicians appeared
before the committee asking for the
proposed increase in their salaries for
charity and school work from 5000
to $1,000. According to DR.. Stratton,
who gave most of the information.
the offices of physicians for the poor
were created twenty years ago carry
ing salary of $500 per annum. The
price has remained the same to this
day, with an additional $500 per annum
for school work, which was inaug
urated In 1905
1t was explained to the committee
that the Board of Health, under which
the district physicians worked, had
neither advocated nor opposed the
salary raise, and the resolution was
laid on the table for the next meet
ing. when Chief Health Officer Il. C.
Levy will be summoned,
Burkert Recommended.
superintendent Davis, of the Water
Works, recommended Charles Burkert
as Second Assistant superintendent
of the Water Works. to have charge
of the Southside system at salary
of $500 per annum. His recommen-
dation was Endorsed by Messrs. Moore
and Brown. Mr.. Gunst and other mem
hers of subcommittee appointed to
look into the matter of this assistant
were under the impression that the
salary recommended was no more
than 1880 per annunl, and 1t went
over awaiting the information. Mr.
Burkert was superintendent of the
Manchester Water Works, and, ac-
cording to the terms of annexation,
his term of office has expired. 1t is
necessary to have a man on the South
side who may, however be trans
efrred at the option Of the supertn-
tendent.
The application of s. P. Clay to
erect a stable on Nineteenth Street
was deferred until more information
could be obtained and citizens OF the
community heard.
AS the meeting was about to close
Councilman Hirschberg moved that
the vote by which the committee
agreed to go into executive session
for the consideration of questions be
reconsidered. After some discussion
1t was put to vote and lost Mr.
Hirschberg and Mr.. Gunst being the
only members of the committee vot-
ing for reconsideration.

night, there is every prospect of fur
Their trouble in the affected districts
of Chihuahua and Durango. They
declared that 80 per cent. of the ma
tives in that part of Mexico are
against the Diaz Government, and
that those not openly supporting the
revolutionists are passive.
The correspondents state that the
revolutionist army is not made up OF
poems and bandits, as has been re-
ported, but consists of native rail-
road employees, farmers, mechanics
and others. The insurrectos appear
to have plenty of arms and ammuni-
ton and seem to have plenty of mon
ey behind them.
Both correspondents agree that
the insurrectos have not been con-
quered, but only driven into the
mountains. Desultory fighting is ex-
pected to continue, and there have
been several small fights within the
last few days.
w. w. King, a resident of Gomez,
Palacio, declares he saw the bodies
of four Mexican soldiers brought in
from the mountains near Gomez Pa
lacio last Friday.
Confirmation has been received of
a report that revolutionists tore up
railroad tracks west of Parral on
Thursday and prevented repairs be-
ing made. Confirmation was also
secured of the report of battle at
Manaquipa, near the Mormon colo
MES, on Wednesday.
Further news is to the effect that
there was fighting at Ell Vale, be-
tween Manaquipa and the Mormon
settlement, and the colonists are said
to be in great fear of an attack.
The American victims of the ris-
ing at Parral, Monday were: Ed

lender, wounded. Lawton's throat
was cut by a bullet and Story was
