To RETIRE
Old OFFICIALS
ON HALF PAY
Councilmen Seeking Charter
Amendment Have Clayton
and Goldsmith in Mind.

That the real object of the movement
to give city council power to remove
oficials was the retirement on half pay
of Chief Of Construction R NJ. Clayton
and Comptroller J. H. Goldsmith. tue
of The. oldest oficials of the city, was
definitely learned today.
Clayton and Goldsmith have served
in most important capacities for about
80 years and both are candidates for
reelection without opposition, The
salary OF Captain Clayton is $4,000 and
Of Mr.. Goldsmith $4,000
40 councilman has Seen bold enough
to state the intent Of the amendment
covering this design now in the hands
Of the committee on charter amend
ments But privately it lie said by all
that its object is to retire the two men.
The ordinance was framed by the or
dinance committee Of council and was
to have been passed at the last meet
ing. But it was too bread in its scope.
1t gave council the authority to retire
the mayor or any other Official. elective
or appointive, at any time by two
thirds vote. Objections we're imme-
diately registered and It Is nov being
revised by the charter amendments
committee.
Retirement Now Voluntary.
Under the present pension ordinance
no pension can exceed $50 per month
and retirements can only be made on
the application of the pensioner. The
new amendment. when introduced in
council again. will provide for authority
to council 10 retire any Official and that
those officials who have served 80 years
at salary of $4,000 year or more
shall receive half pay
The members of the ordinance com
nittee, from which the resolution was
introduced, are Charles W. Smith,
James E. Warren, John S Gambler,
Clarence Haverty and Claude G. Mason.
But the fate Of the ordinance is as
yet unknown. for there has been no test
vote in council.

The fact that Charles Bury. a South

all that saved him from a trip to Oc-

Bury was before Judge De Lacy be-
cause he failed to keep up his four
dollar weekly payments for the sup
port of his family. and was two weeks
in arrears. AS it was not his first ap-
pearance in Juvenile Court on the same
charge, Judge De Lacy was in no mood
for triling. The judge was just de-
livering q lecture on men who fail to
keep their promises, with some side
lights on Occoquan as a place where
respect for the orders of q court might
be learned. when Bury reached into his
pocket and raked out eight one-dOllar

Bury was warned to pay UP on pay day

POLICE LOCATE SAFE
STOLEN FROM BANK
Hidden in Cellar of Home Of
William Mitchell, CoIored.
Three Are Arrested.

Hidden in the cellar at the home OF
William Mitchell, colored, 1928 Covington
street northwest, the police last night
discovered the safe which was stolen last
Sunday morning from the poolroom and
banking institution Of Alexander Sat
terwhite. 1920 14th street northwest. The
discovery was made about 10 o'clock by
Lieut.. Judge and Bicycle Policeman
Holmes, an hour after Mitchell had been
arrested.
Mitchell. the police say. admitted par
ticipation in the robbery and told them
where they could find the safe. He a.eo
implicated Louis johnson and Walter
johnson. colored. Of 2222 9th street north
west. They were subsequently arrested
and locked up. Another man implicated
by Mitchell was not caught.
The Johnsons deny that they had any
part In the taking of the safe from the
14th street business place. None of the
$4,000 worth OF insurance papers, prom
issory. notes and deeds Of trust was
touched, the robbers having taken only
the watches and rings.
Safe Hauled in Pushcart.
Several men were seen with the safe
in the pushcart at an early hour Sun
day morning. The safe was covered
with sacking and those who saw the
men thought they were hauling rub
bish. The men took the safe to the
home Of Mitchell, about five squares
from where the robbery was commit
ted. and put 1t in the cellar.
What's all that noise about?" asked
member of the Mitchell family when
she heard the men putting away the
SAFE
Its nothing but box that dropped
from a wagon" William answe cred. Il
am going to keep it here until tomor-
row."
The combination was broken, the
door of the safe opened and its nego-
table contents taken. Watches and
rings were sold to men about the
streets. without any regard for their
and two rings worth 500 selling for
80 cents. Several OF the articles were
recovered last night
Police Locate Safe.
After the three men had been placed
behind the bars Capt Doyle went with
Lieut.. Judge and Policeman Holmes to
the Mitchell house. where the safe was
found. The three policemen tugged at
the massive steel structure, but were un-
able to bulge it, and finally five men
were employed to move 1t to the police
station.
This merning the men were taken to
police headquarters, where they were
questioned, measured and photographed.
A descriptive message was sent out by
the police requesting the arrest of the
fourth man who is alleged to have been
implicated in the robbery. 1t Is prob
able that the case will be heard in the
Police Court tomorrow morning.
