er Won Arkovy, who thought she would
be a baroness when she married the
spruce and %debonnair Baron" Richard
Won Arkovy in November of 1909 and
went with him to live on his baronial
estates in Hungary, has returned to
her father, Richard Schroeder, who
lives at 46 West Sixty-ninth street,
wiser to the extent of realizing that
she never was a baroness and that her
experience has cost her just about
$500, 900. At least that is the sum
she named as having been be-
slowed by her upon the Baron Won
Arkovy in the belief that he was going
to invest it for her in ranch lands of
Argentina. Mrs. Von Arkovy said she
and the baron had separated abroad
and that she would never see him
again.
This self-styled baron is the
same Won Arkovy who was arrested
in the Plaza Hotel on the night OF
March 1 of this year on the charge
of having stolen two platinum cru
cibles from Julio S. Jarron, the Cuban
vice-consul In this city.

ment to Successors. :

The esta blishment of a municipal
plant and the improvement OF
Centre Market will be among the prom

Council by the present body, whlch
met for its final session last night.
Recommendations for these improve
ments and the enlargement of Camp

made by the present councilman.
A resolution authorizing a Sbol,ooo
bond issue to meet the school building
budget for the coming year was dept
ed following the approval OF the Boaro
of Education and the a OF ocnool
Estimate. The Council also adopted
resolutions providing for an amend
ment to the building cod Whicn Will
permit alterations to frame buildings
within the fire limits under certain
conditions, and the increasing OF sew
eral salaries.
A total of $5S, 500 was transferred 10
meet the bills incurred by the various
departments. The public buildings
committee needed an additional appro-
priation of 1900, which was consented
to only after much wrangling by the
finance committee. A meeting of the
latter committee had been held earlier
in the evening and Alderman Congle-
ton stated the building committee had
ignored the warning of the city auditor
and evidently paid no attention to the
amount 1t was spending. 1t was said
the additional appropriation would not
have been made but for the fact that
it was needed to pay salaries.
The provisions of the amendment to
the building code which was passed
are that alterations will be permitted
on frame buildings of three stories or
less within the fire limits; sanitary
conditions improved and fire risk
raised, and the cost of the alterations
not to exceed one-third of the value of
the building.

BATTALION CHIEFS
EXAMINATION SOON
Civil Service Board Criticised
for Action in Ordering
Eligible List.

The Civil Service Commission has
announced that an examination will be
aeld January 10 for captains to qualify
or promotion to the office of battalion
thief of the fire department. There is
L vacancy in this rank caused by the
appointment of Paul J. Moore as dep
lty chief. AS yet the fire board has
aot beer notified by the Civil Service
Commission that his examination Will
De held, neither has the board asked
he commission for an eligible list.
Although it is entirely within the
province of the commission to hold the
est, there is a feeling among the off,
.ials of the nre department that they
should have been notified, or that the
commission could have waited until the
'equest for an eligible list was made.
According to the rules Verning the
ire board the number of battalion
chiefs to hold Office is optional with
he members of the board. who can
appoint as many or as few as they
hoose. In the light of this rule 1t was
expected by the heads of the depart
nent that the commission would wait
until a request of this sort is made or II

Colonel James r. Mullikin, when
asked today if he had notified the
,oard, declared that that was not his
Junction. The colonel said that Gard
Ter Colby, chef -xaminer, was the one
Who took charge of such details and
hat he WOULD be the one to notify the
BOARD.
1T is probable. however, he said,
that Mr.. Colby anticipated the needs
Vt the department and wished to have
IN eligible list ready when it was
wanted"
1t is understood that not all the cap
aims will AXE the examination, be-
,ause of the fact that the physical test
$ too severe. When the battalion
.hiefs were in the race for deputy,
Morgan and Exall failed in the physical
est and did not go on with the mental
examination. There was considerable
dissatisfaction st the time because of
he severity of the test. and men high
ip in the service declared that officers
we're not expected to do the work of
iremen. but should be considered the
generals of fire fighting.
Rumor has it that the physical part
4 the examination VIII be even harder
or the captains than it was for the
,attalion chiefs.
1t has been a matter of gossip in fire
headquarters that the retirement of
'hief Sloan is probable and that Paul
doore would succeed him. This would
ieeessitate the promotion of a bat

OFFICIALS To Be
BUSY NEW YEARS
Council and Board of Works Will
Organize and Mayor
Receive.

The organization of the Common
Council at noon Monday, New Years
Day; the organization of the Board of
Works at 10 o'clock; that of the Excise
Board and the informal reception by
Mayor Haussling, whose annual custom
1t is to be at his office to chans
New Years greetings with his friends,

day of 1912.
This being an off year, however,
there will be no demonstration of any
kind, and it is not expected that the
citizens will turn out in force to bid
offlcialdom a prosperous New Year.
There is very little work that the
Common Council is expected to do
Monday. 1t is likely, of course, that
Day and Franz will be named as treas

Der Of other questions now before the
council will be disposed of. Alderman
John Fl. Donnelly will be reelected
president of the council.
A change in the presidency of the
Board of Works is scheduled. 1t is
almost certain that Commissioner Har-
ry B. O'Connell will succeed President
William Mungle, and that Mr.. Mungie
will assume the Craftsmanship of the
committee on streets and highways,
now held by Mr.. O'Connell. Otherwise
no change in the committee chair

There will be two vacancies for the

that he will be ~reappointed. The other
