CHICAGO Is GENEROUS
TO MEN WHO SERVE IT

Special to The Washington Herald.
Chicago, Nov. 5.-The Chicago firemen's S
and poIicemen's fund was started in 1877,
but ten years later the two funds were
separated. In accordance with the pres
ent regulations, firemen are entitled to
half pay after twenty years service.
The firemen's fund was obtained by as
sessing each of the fremen per cent of
his salary, and to this was added so per
cent of the first years premiums on all
foreign fire insurance, l per cent of all
city license money, and the interest on
funds in hand. The present income is
i2fs,00S i,er annum.
. Last year the disbursements were $276,
l19, so there was a shortage of approx
mately $780, This, however, is account
I'd for in large part by a fire in the stock
yards which caused a loss of twenty
seven lives, on all Of which pensions were
paid to widows and children. Firemen
who become disabled while on duty re-
ceive' the same pensions as those who
retire after twenty years, and in the event
Of death their widows or dependent chill
iren receive like amounts.
The police pension fund is derived by
crediting to 1t per cent of the money re-
ceived from saloon and liquor licenses,
% per cent Of the fees paid by second
hand dealers, pawnbrokers, and junk men

found a large short interest outstanding
in the market. Pessimism had run to
such extremes that when last Tuesday
people were waiting for the Steel Corpor-
ation's report of earnings, fully so per
cent of the rank and file OF professional
operators in Wall street were seriously
discussing the question whether at the
Steel meeting the directors would not an
nounce a reduction OF the dividend on the
corporations common shares.
Rumors of similar absurdity have pre-
vailed in the financial district for long
time, despite the fact that they were
contradicted even by the movement Of
the stock market itself. For the time
being Wall street considered as a specu-
lative whole had put itself In frame Of

DETROIT HAS SEPARATE
FUNDS FOR EACH FORCE

Special to The Washington Herald.
Detroit, Mich, Nov. 5.-The police and
f1remen's pension funds are raised sepa-
rately. The firemen's pension fund is
raised entirely by taxation, and retired
ffremen draw half of the salary they are
receiving when placed on the retired
list.
The police pension fund is raised by
members of the force being assessed ]
per cent Of their salaries each month
and by placing rewards sent in by CRATE
full citizens for duties performed by the
members, the proceeds from the sale by
auction OF unclaimed property taken
from prisoners found on the streets by
policemen, and by placing 25 cents for
every dog found running at large with
out a license. In this way the police
pension fund has been seIf-sustaining,
but in case there is a deficit 1t is made up
by taxation.
The schedule paid retired officers is:
Doormen, $45; patrolmen, $50; SER
geants, SIS; liehtenants, $50: captains,
$65, and superintendent, $75. The Detroit
