SALARIES GIRLS RECEIVED

Chicago. ILL.,, March 5.-Six more
of Chicago's leading merchants, II
was announced today, will be served
with subpoenas to appear before the
state vice commission next Friday.
1t will require a week to hear the
witnesses already summoned after
which owners of leading wholesale
clothing houses and factories will be
heard. It is the opinion of Lieutenant
Governor Barrett O'Hara, head of the
commission, that many girls are driven
to life in the underworld or about its
fringe, by insufficient remuneration
and it is for the purpose of investl'
cation this feature of the study that
the merchants have been subpoenaed.
The additional witnesses summon
ed are Edward Hillman, of Hillman's;
Henry c. Schwab, of Rothschild 4
Company; Joseph Basch, of Siegel

Carson, Pierre Scott & Company; Mrs.

SALARIES BILL
IS STILL ON
CALENDAR
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF HOUSE
CAUCUS THIS MORNING PREVENT.
ING SESSION Then They POST
PONE ALL ACTION.
MOVE TO TABLE IS
QUICKLY VOTED DOWN

Senate bill No. 104, being the Old
Guard county salaries bill vetoed by
the governor, still ornaments the
house calendar along with some nine
ty other bills, awaiting the pleasure
of the house Republican majority.
This majority has not enough votes
to pass the bill over the veto of the
governor but it has enough votes to
keep the bill on the calendar.
This was demonstrated once again,
this morning, when the Republican
majority in the house, including
Messrs. Bursum and Spiess, caucused
until nearly noon and then threw up
the sponge
Likewise it was given out after the
caucus that all thought of compro-
mise had been abandoned, that the
Old Guard was plum mad and that
the salary bill would either pass, re-
main on the calendar or there would
be no salary bill at this session. How
far the members of the caucus sub
scribed to this view of the situation
is not known but it is probable that
the caucus decided not to try to pass
any bill between now and March IA
when the Legislature will adjourn by
limitation.
But the bill is to be kept on the
house calendar, it is said, in order
that should an opportunity present it
self, it can be called up at any time.
The house was due to meet this
morning at 10 o'clock. 1t was nearly
II O'Clock when it did meet. James
w. Chaves Of Torrance county, who
seems to have assumed leadership in
place of young Catron or Mr.. Blanch'
ard, Immediately moved recess OF
fifteen minutes and called for a Re-
publican caucus. The Republicans
filed into one of the rear committee
rooms and it was about quarter OF

aries bill was first on the calendar

| Mr.. Tucker moved to table the bill.
The motion by Mr.. Tucker was de-
feated by viva voce vote. That of
Mr.. Llewellyu prevailed. The house
then recessed unit! = y. m. That was
the sum total of the house session this
morning except that Mr. Hilton did
introduce a resolution that no more
bills could be introduced except by
consent of the house from now until
adjournment The resolution was not
read and as the house adjourned,
State Senator T. J. Mabry and num-
ber OF Democratic representatives
crowded about the chief clerk and de-
manded to see the resolution, not
knowing what its contents might be.
Frank Staplin, chief clerk acting un-
der instructions from Mr., Hilton, who
sought to keep the contents of the
resolution from the members of the
press, placed the resolution in his
pocket. A demand was made for the
resolution on the ground that it was

CALL ON MR.. WILSON -
IF He SENDS FOR EN-

OVER APPOINTMENTS WHICH He WILL LEAVE TO HEADS OF THE SEv
ERAL EXECUTIVE Department.
ACCEPTS RESIGNATION OF TAFT
CABINET AND NAMES HIS OWN

Washington, b. G., March g.
/ Charles 4. Crane, of Chicago, vice
chairman Of the finance committee of
/ the Wilson campaign, was the first to
have an appointment with the presi-
dent today. He called, he said, mere
ly to pay his respects and was leaving
tomorrow for Chicago where he eX.
pected to hear the speech of Walter L..
Fisher before the commercial club.
Mr.. Crane said he believed it would
be an important utterance,
Mr.. Crane has frequently been men
toned since the campaign for a diplo-
rratic post. Though the president has
made no offer rs yet, it is considered
probable that Mr.. Crane will become
ambassador to Russia.
The members of the new cabinet ar
rived while President Wilson was
talking to Mr., Crane.
BILL BRYAN CALLS.
Mr.. Bryan was the center of group
as soon as he set foot in the executive
offices.
Well" he said, 81 suppose I wont
have any trouble getting in here to-
day, such as / had many years ago
when | was in congress. I didn't
know the rules then and | called after
4 o'clock in the afternoon. | didn't
tell the doorkeeper who | was and |
was coldly informed that no visitors
were received after 4 o'clock"
WILL ESCAPE WORRY.
President Wilson's first official act
was to acknowledge receipt of the
resignation of the Taft cabinet and all
the assistant secretaries of the var
icus departments. Office seekers will
not be permitted to take up the time
Of the new president. He issued a
statement today declarihG th;.t appli'
cants would have to address them
selves to the heads of the different
governmental departments unless the
president sent for them.
The presidents statement follows:
"The president regrets that he
deems it his duty to decline to see ap-
plicants for Office In person, except
when he himself invites the interview
It is his purpose and desire to devote
his attention very earnestly and very
constantly to the business Of the ecy-
ernment and the large questions Of
policy affecting the whole nation. and
he knows from his experience as gov.
ernor of New Jersey-where it fell to
him to make innumerable appoint
ments-that the greater part of both
his time and Of his energy will be
spent in personal interviews with can
didates unless he set an inyariable
rule in the matter, 1t is his inten.
ton to deal with appointments
through the heads of the several exc.
cutive departments"

SALARY BILL VETO
WAS a MANLY STAND

The veto OF the county salary Dill
by Governor W. c Mcdonald was a
manly stand and one that will be ap-
preciated by the people throughout
the state. The governor vetoed the
bill because the salaries we're uni
formly too high, because the bill was
in the interests of the county officials
in the first and second class counties
and because some officials would have
received pay out of all proportion to
the work required of them. No mat
ter what the outcome may be, the re-
suit will be for the general good Of
the state because for the first time in
some years, the Old Guard leaders in
this state have found a man in the
executive office above politics and
fearless enough to stand for the rights
of the people.
Had high salary bill been enacted
into law, it would have been difficult
matter, even to have gotten rid Of it;
If low salary bill is eventually en-
acted. it will be we'll worth all tHe
trouble it may cost Coming into
statehood as we have, from the dark
days of territorial regime, county
fees and public graft, it is hard for
the average politician to understand
that because a county officer is one OF
the buIwark of party organization, it
is no reason why he should be paid
extravagantiy for being the servant ot
the people. Most men woI!d work
Iong hours and at steady employment
for the sum of 5000 a month and deem
themselves drawing big pay. How
county officers, under this BILL would
consider that sum, adequate pay ex-
cept in such offices as probate juoges,
county commissioners, etc, where the
officials are not required to devote all
of their time to the work? But the
average man who draws the average
waqe or who earns the average incre.
ment on honestly invested money
who pays the tax that supports the
state and who knows nothing about
the fine points of party OF poiltIca!
strategy and who cares less, will well
come a governor at last, who has the
manhood and the courage to defy the
Old Guard leaders and assert the
rights Of the people to pay only Just
compensation co for public servants. IT
might just as we'll be realized now
as later, that the old methods are go
ina to 90. The failure Of the present
LEGISLATURE to pass this ludicrous sal
ary bill over the veto of the governor
is lesson in point. A public office
is worth no more to the people OF the
state at large, than job is worth TO
an individual or corporation. In de-
manding a county salary bill that will
pay a fair salary and no more for hor
est and efficient county officials, Gov
iernor NJ. Ocra'.. has set preccdent
for New Mexico. This newspaper COR
oratulates him. Politicians and office
holders may deride and censure him,
but the people will sustain his hand
BY this veto, Governor Mcnonald has
shown that he is a governor Of the
peop!e--not of ring. In the opinion
Of this newspaper any county official
who does not believe he is paid ade-
| auately for his services to the people
has the usual prerogative-he can quit
his job. There are others.
