TO HOLD MEETINGS MONTHLY
Board to Ask for More Men for the
Departments and Officers are Hauled
Over the Goals for Violations Of Or
ders in Regard to Drinking.

q. u. Summons was reelected presl-
dent of the board Of fire and police
commissioners at the first meeting of
the re-organized board held at the Of
| flee of Mayor Dan O. Head on Thurs.
| day afternoon. John Bruins was nam
led vice president and John Priddis for
| tary of the board All Of the elections
were by unanimous vote of the com
mission and there was spirit of uni
Ity that has not been seen in the com
mission since its organization. Henry
B. Robinson took his place as mem.
Der Of the commission on Thursday
and the interest he showed in the
work Of the body gives assurance that
he will be a valuable addition to the
board.
The new wrinkle in the organization
this year was the election Of vice
president and this was done in order
to make possible the holding Of meet
ings should President Simmons be out
Iof the city. Regular monthly meet
ings of the commission will be held
in the future and the last Friday of
the month was selected as the time for
holding these meetings.
The commission at the meeting of
Thursday received reports from both
the chief Of police and the chief Of
tie fire department and both Of the Of
ieials emphasized the necessity Of en-
larging the forces if the best possible
results are to be secured. A number
of applicants for both the fire and po-
lice departments were examined by the
commission and several names will be
Iadded to the accredited list.
President Simmons said: "The com.
mission appreciates the need Of more
men on both the fire department and
the police force and we shall send a
communication to the city council in
the near future asking for power to
increase the force. The commissioners
are going to take personal interest
in this matter and we are going ia
scout about and see if some mel can
not be found who are suited for this
important work. We have had trou-
ble getting men in the past, but we
believe that with increased pay and
with an assurance Of increases in the
number Of men employed in both de-
partments Mat we will not experience
trouble getting men. The commission
feels that even with the three men
allowed by the council the police force
is not large enough and two more men
will be needed
The old question of the police Of
fcials being too closely connected
with some Of the bar rooms Of the
city came up at the close OF the meet
ing on Thursday and while no formal
charges were brought against any of
the men one Of the members Of the
police force was called in and given
a chance to explain why he had been
drinking in uniform in one of the sa-
looms of the city. The man evidently
gave a satisfactory explanation of his
conduct as no penalty was assessed
against him and no record of the fact
was made in the minutes 81, the meet
ing,

SCHULZ BRINGS SUIT.
Park Street Hardware Man Objects to
Hooks Placed in Brick Wall.

Hangers on about the municipal
court are expecting really joyous
occasion later in the month when a
suit brought by Fl. G. Schulz, Park
street hardware merchant against j.
B. Ortiz, proprietor of the Hotel Ortiz
cones up for trial. In his suit Schulz
claims that Orth has useda brick wall
belonging to him for the purpose Of
putting in hooks to string a clothes
line on and that he has forbidden him
to enter on the Ortiz property to re-
move the hooks. The suit demands
that Orth be enjoined from using the
hooks and that they be removed and
that Orth pay Schulz $50 damages.
The suit is simply another chapter in
the neighborly' fight which has
been on for several years.

PROF. BARNWELL'S NEW BOOK

Prof. V. T. Barnwell has recently
published book, in two parts, on the
mental pre-perception method of learn
ing music. Instead of writing review
of this comprehensive work from our
limited knowledge Of the subject we
present a notice from the pen of Miss
Maud Foster She has carefully read
the book and is enthusiastic in speak
ing of its merits. Following is what
che has written:
'Barnwell's Normal Keyboard and
Staff Studies is new volume contain
lug the essentials of course of study
IN musical theory and sight singing. 1t
is decidedly attractive as compared with
the many dryIIand abstruse works on
the subject of Harmony that bugbear
of most students. The material is pre-
sented in an interesting manner, well
illustrated, and with practical sugges-
lions that should make the book most
desirable one, both for use in schools
and classes and for the individual stu
dent who would increase his musical
perception. ="

WIRELESS AIDS DAN CUPID
Most Modern of Methods Seized on
for Use of the Resourceful God
of Love.

Cupid has sped his dart by devious
ways. The address of guileless
country maid, written on the shell of
new-laid egg has been known to
bring her a husband The girl in the
factory has often scrubbed her name
and address on the material which
she helped to make and it has more
than once fallen into the hands of
mechanic many miles away and we'd
ding bells have rung. The telephone
has cemented romances galore and
Central has captured her future
lord and master by her silvery
"hello!" Even the airship has en-
tered the service of Little Dan Cupid.
So far as is known, however, for
the first time wireless telegraphy has
been responsible for uniting two low
ing hearts that never would have met
had 1t not been for the mysterious
ether waves carrying messages OF
love and endearment. Ia
The young man who has added
wireless to the Aids to Cupid" is
Arthur Barr of Elizabeth, N. j. For
more than q year he has been expert
menting with &c. Q. DIS" and other
signals with fellow amateur wireless
operators. Their experiments stopped
some time ago. Strange messages
from the direction of Staten Island
was the cause. When Arthur de-
ciphered these he suspected there
was "a woman in the case"
Bars suspicious proved correct. In
Mariners Harbor Elsie Shelton.
eighteen years old, had been tamper-
Ing with the wireless apparatus which
her brother had rugged BY watching
him she had learned to send messages
and receive answers. She soon picked
up Bars "Marconigrams" and trans
lated them into the language of love.
The messages continued. The couple
met and Barr soon expects to make
Miss Shelton his wireless bride.

The professor contended that IL was

main reason for this departure from

means of inscriptions on ancient
Spanish coins that the Iberian alpha
