FIREMEN WANT
SALARIES RAISED
Committee of Three Captains
Appears Before Mayor Goetz
Seeking Increase for All Men
and Officers.

Once more due the ever increasing
cost Of living South Bend firemen are
asking for an increase in wages.
Friday morning committee Of
three captains from local fire stations
appeared before Mayor Goetz and
made their plea for more wages. The
committee consisted of Capt. Irving
Sibrel, Capt. John Howard and Capt.
John Wentland. A raise in the wages
of the entire department from the
chief down. is asked. The increases
asked ranges from $3.50 up to $500
a year.
The present salary of the chief is
$500; an increase of $500, or $500 is
asked The $500 salary of the as
sistant chief is asked to be raised 10
$500; captains from $10Q0eto $1,000;
lieutenants from $3.50 to S1OSO;
wagonmen from $500 10 $1,000.
Mayor Goetz informed the commit
tee that he will take up the matter.
He will ask an investigation of the
status of the city's pockerbOok 10 de-
termine if the requested increase is
possible.
The mayor is doubtful if the in
crease can be allowed for the present.
The firemen have been seeking the
raise for two years, he said, but the
city's finances have not warranted the
raise
Compared with other cities of
South Bends size, the salaries drawn
by the firemen are below the usual
run Due to the efficiency of the local
department and the stellar work that
the men have done, Mayor GoetZ in
timated that the requested raise asked
would be looked upon with favor by
him If the money is found available.

Killed When Building Collapsed.

The lives of eight men were crush
ed out and several others severely in
iured when the new seven story con-
crete building being erected for Ly-
man Bros, wholesale milliners at
Cedar Rapids, collapsed last Satur-
day morning. The building was
6OX1OO feet and was to cost $780,
600. Workmen were busy pouring
concrete on the roof and it is thought
that the wood frames on the sixth
floor had been taken out before the
concrete was set thoroughly. The
pillars supporting the seventh floor
gave way and the falling mass Of
concrete and steel sheared off the
other floors clear to the basement
Among the Workmen who were killed
was William Lowe, superintendent Of
construction for Lauritzen & Wasson,
of Waterloo, who had the contract
for erecting the building, and his
body has not yet been recovered
from the ruins, although large
force of men are working night and
day clearing away the wreckage. Mr..
Lowe was we'll known in Leon, hav-
ing been foreman under superinten-
dent Peterson when the Decatur
county court house was built few
years ago, the contract for which
was awarded to the firm of Laurit-
zen Bros, of Waterloo. Mr.. Lowe
during his residence in this city made
many friends, and has visited here
several times. since the court house
was completed.

A Play with an Atmosphere.

Atteberry 4 Cook, the we'll known
amusement promoters, present the
we'll known western play, "The Girl
of Eagle Ranch" This is not an un-
tried play, but one which has had
long runs in all the cities of the Unit
ed States and Canada, and is now be-
ing presented by them with the same
all-star cast. And the patrons of this
great play, founded on actual facts
and incidents, will imagine them
selves seeing the natural characters;
and with the appropriate scenery and
stage settings, illustrating the vicin-
ity these occurrences took place in,
will feel the atmosphere of realiza-
ton and imagine themselves living in
the far west. 1t is thrilling story,
naturally told, containing a great
moral lesson. Surging with waves of
human interest, true to life as it
found it's birth in that great state of
Arizona, among the ranchmen. The
play is the best equipped western
drama on the road, and besides
capable company of artists, it carries
a real cowboy band, in picturesque
and novel street parade announcing
the arrival of the attraction in this
city. Opera house, Friday, Nov. 21st.

grief was commenced and the new
air pressure system will be installed,
the machinery and motors. for which
have already been installed and the
expert from the factory is expected
today to superintend the work of in
stalling. the new system, which will
have all the machinery on top of the
ground, the water being pumped by
means of compressed air which is
forced down in the we'll by means of
a small pipe and the compressed air
forces the water to the surface in a
steady stream, the system being
guaranteed to pump not less than
100 gallons per minute.

work of installing the new system
will be completed so that the water
can be turned on again by the first
of the week.
