MAN, WIFE AND "a
CHILDREN GO SHOPPING
Rttsburghers Are Amazed at
the Visitors.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 16. - Accom-
panied by his wife and twenty-four
children, Alexander Friss, a back
woodsman. living five miles from
Wind Gap, twenty miles from here,
drove into town to do their Christmas
shopping.
It was the first visit of the children
to the city and they were awestruck
by the high buildings the crowds and
the Christmas goods and toys.
When the three wagons passed along
Fifth avenue the crowds of shoppers
were as much surprised at the sight
Of the Friss family as were the latter
at them. Contented and happy, the big
family pulled up in front of one of
the largest department stores and filed
inside, where they soon got busy. They
missed nothing from the cellar of the
big store to the top floor, purchasing
enough Christmas t1inkets to stock a
country store.
Even though the Friss family cloth
ing was not in harmony with the lat
est dictates of style, they never bat
Icu al eye WhCu lue ldSSluS CIUWuS
stared at them. The big family had
come to soc the holiday sights, and
they got vast amount of pleasure out
of the trip. Friss was in a joyous
mood and laughed when asked how Of
ten he came to the city to purchase
presents.
Not Often said he, and it's
mighty lucky for me that l don't. I
had a big hog killing over at the house
a couple of weeks ago, and I told the
boys and girls and Matha-that's my
wife-that we would go to town and
spend the money for that hog meat
on Christmas presents and good
things"
Mrs Friss is sixty-four years old,
while her husband is four years her
junior. They were married when the
husband was seventeen years old.
Friss naively remarked that after his
marriage the "tchilders' came thick
and fast" Mrs. Friss has given birth
to twenty-seven children, all told,
three of whom are dead.

ROW AT CITY HALL
Tandy Would Abolish Street
Commissioner.
Challenges StOttS to Vote for
This Measure.
SALARY into THE TREASURY
New Means to Cut Down 1918
City Budget.
Bone Says He Could Save Gre
matOry Money.
SALARY into THE TREASURY

In most cases city hall rows and
official disagreements make lots of
noise, sizzle a, few days after the out
break and then die out. They furnish
interesting reading matter to the tax
payers-and that is about all The
present administration is different,
however. A squabble starts at the city
building today that will end most
profitably to the taxpayers.
Here it is:
City Commissioner Tandy challenges
the big Three Stotts, Billiard and
AilIer-today to give him permission
to do away with his street commission
er. He promises to turn the commits
sioner's salary, $1,000 year, into the
treasury. Tandy makes this move as
an answer to Commissioner Stotts, who
declared in a statement recently that
the street department could do with
out a few high salaried men.
Commissioners Tandy, not only is
saving the city $1,000 a year in this
move. he not only is lowering the city
budget by that amount, bu+ he is send
ing thorn deep into the flesh of the
big Three'-especially Stotts. 1t was
the big Three that appointed Fur
the will of Tandy.
Tandy Says He Is Willing.
Mr.. Tandy explains:
-Stotts said in the State Journal re-
Gently that if 1 was so anxious to see
lower city levy l could cut down my
street department. He didn't say this
to me in the official meetings-said it
through the paper.
Now 1 want to show Stotts that L
am perfectly willing to follow out his
suggestion. will let out my street
commissioner today or tomorrow or
any time the commission allows. The
salary will be turned into the city
treasury. 1 will do the work myself
and distribute it among my men.
'I have worked long and hard to
lower the city taxes. 1 will take extra
work on my own shoulders to help out.
Stotts, Miller and the mayor appoint
ed Baker-they may now vote to abol-
ish the Office and save the money
And this isn't all of the profitable
row.
Now comes Commissioner Bone.
Bone challenges Stotts-who seems to
be the butt of the battle-to allow him
(Bone) to run the city crematory.
Bone says he will save $4,000 over the
budget asked by Stotts. Stotts was al
lowed $4,000. Bone says he will run
it for $4,000.
Stotts tells Bone to let out the city
auditor and do the work himself.
When the smoke clears away-if
there is a wind strong enough to blow
1.-THE outlook is favorable to the
pocketbooks of the taxpayers of To-
peka. 1t will mean a hard worked set
of city commissioners at the city hall
but the average taxpayer wastes lit
tie worry over political overwork.

THEY NAME NO TICKET
The Populists Adopt a Platform and
Adjourn.

St. Louis. Aug. 14.-The eight dele
gates to the PopuIist national conven-
ton after nearly six hours argument,
adopted a platform reaffirming the 1892
platform and adding a number of new
blanks, one of which favors the recog-
milton of the Chinese republic. The
leading plank discusses at some length
money.
1.-THE cumulative theory of money as
declared in our Omaha QS92) platform
is now universally conceded" the pre-
anble states Issuance of money by
the government direct to the people is
demanded. Loans by government to
the people are also favored.
Government ownership of the tele-
graph and telephone systems and the
parcels post are recommended.
The Initiative, referendum. direct
election of United States senators, di-
rect primary, presidential primaries,
equal suffrage, registration of lobbyists
and a graduated income and Inherit
arce tax are among the other planks.
I'm estates exceeding 81 900 900 fifty
Der cent should eschew to the state''
the platform reads.
The last paragraph of the platform
embraces the following:
I'VE favor the extension of free
cupationaI training. We favor the re-
cognition of the Chinese republic. We
favor the cid age pension, the commits
sion form of government for cities and
the granting of franchises to public
utility corporations by popular vote"

tional treasurer nor nations- commit

This extraordinary situation was
caused by the delay in passing the gen.
eral deficiency bill. The regular army
appropriation had been exhausted in
May and the war department was de-
pending on the deficiency bill for more
money. July payments really are
available under the resolution of July
1 which extended last years appro-
bursement of that was held up in the
paymaSter's Office with the expectation
that congress soon would pass the
regular bill.
Paymaster General Smith. however.
said he would diSburse some of the
money available if the deficiency dill
was not enacted this week.
Officers have received most of their
pay because they are obliged to sup
port themselves. The war departmen emit
felt the enlisted men would suffer least
because the government provides for
them in quarters, clothing, food and
medical attention. The army bill is
yet to be acted upon in the senate and
later will go to conference with the
house. Meanwhile some money may
become available from the general de-
ficiency bill and other measures yet to
be passed.
Pensioners in Same Boat.
The pension bureau today faced the
greatest financial crisis in it's history
as the result of the lack of funds to pay
pensioners. The San Francisco agency
has a balance of exactly seven cents
and Detroit only four cents. Reports
from al the agencies received at the bu-
reau tell the same story of no money
for the veterans and their dependents
on the nations pension list.
This condition is due to the delay
of congress in passing the pension APP
priation bill. The extension of the old
appropriation bill for a fifteen day
period so that one-twenty-fourt of
last years appropriation might be
used to pay less than half of the $15,-
600, 900 due on August 4. has left 20O,-
600 pensioners unpaid, at Indianapolis,
Knoxville, Louisville, New York, Phil
adeIphia and Topeka. There is no
hope for them until congress acts.
Acting Pension Agent Fountain, at
New York reported today to Commits
sioner Davenport that the conditions
there are very serious, as many army
and navy pensioners arc destitute and
that the Withholding of their pension
money is almost criminal"
The funds available today are but
