MAYOR SPRUNG THE
NEW ENGINE QUESTION
Proposed Purchase Of Certain Kind
Meets With Sudden and Strenuous
Objection.

Mayor Sleeves stirred up the autOmo.
bile fire engine question again last
night when he presented a communica-
ton concerning the proposed reduction
in insurance rates in which he embod-
led recommendation that a fire en-
gine be purchased, so that further re-
duction may be had. The underwriters
have agreed to cut down the rate | per
cent in addition to the reduction of 3
per cent that was made when engine
was bought year ago, The question
was postponed one week.
The underwriters, however, are anx.
iOus, if the reduction is made, that the
fire department shall be increased in
efficiency by the addition of hook and
ladder equipment, as well as of an au,
to engine.
The discussion was brought to head
when Seigmund moved that the city buy
a type 10, six.cylinder Americana La
France auto engine. Hatch seconded the
motion, but Cummings Immediately OBJ,
iected on the grounds that per cent
reduction in rates is not sufficient He
further declared that the people were
not willing that the city shall purchase
an engine at this time. His speech met
applause from the audience.
Mayor Sleeves explained that his rec
ommendation was in the interest of gen.
eral economy and efficiency. He said
that he, himself did not consider that
the l per cent reduction was sufficient
Not Just, Says Jones.
Jones arose in wrath, and declared
that to consider the purchase of an
American. .LaFrance car was not just to
the other firms who had sent representa-.
tives to Salem, and who would be un.
aware of the pending transaction. He
said the proposition was preposterous
He was applauded by the gallery.
Minton advocated advertising for
bids, declaring that to go ahead with
the purchase advocated in the Sieg.
mund motion would be entirely unjust
Waring said that he was not ready to
vote, and asked week in which to get
on one side or the other.
At this Rigdon moved that the ques
tion be postponed one week. The mo-
tiOn carried.

Wants a Divorce.

Alleging in her complaint filed in the
circyit court this morning that her hus.
band would not permit her to "dress
up" on account of an insane jealousy of
her, and told her that she dressed up
to look nice and attract the attention Of
other men, Dollie C. Schweitzer has com.
menced action for divorce against her
husband, Phillip
The plaintiff alleges she met the de-
fendant four years ago, and at that time
believed him to be faithful, hard
working man, but since the marriage re-
ations between the two, the husband
has treated the plaintiff in cruel and
inhuman manner, and finally fled the
city to avoid the payment Of just and
honest debts. There are no children as
the issue of the marriage, alleges the
complaint, and the plaintiff asks that
the court to decree that her maiden
name be restored, which was Dollie
Clair Edleman.

THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARY.
He Must Be a Diplomat, and His Posi-
tion Is Not an Easy Ono.

hlSU 10 wv di GaoJ NhO'
The duties Of a secretary to a presi-
dent of the United States are not con-
sidered at all secondary in Importance
to those of a cabinet officer. He is the
man who first meets the thousands Of
visitors to the president He must know
just whom the president desires to see
or should see without bothering the
president. These visitors come from
all parts Of the United States on all
sorts of missions, some important, but
mostly Of a very trivial character, and
they come bringing all sorts Of letters
of introduction from all sorts Of people.
Were the president to see all these
folks he would not have time for any
thing else, and the secretary must win
now the wheat from the chaf and
send the chaff away actually delighted
because they haven't seen the presi-
dent. The presidents secretary is a
buffer between his chief and the Unit
ed States senators and members of the
house of representatives with myriad
axes to grind. He must be diplomat
with the most famous diplomats Of the
world when they call at the White
House to take up the time Of the presl
dent Indeed, it has been often said in
Washington that the presidents secre-
tary must be us much Of diplomat as
any member Of the diplomatic corps II
he is to be of substantial value to his
chief
Again, the secretary must have rela-
tions with the hundreds Of correspond
ents who represent the great newspa-
pers Of the country. Public opinion is
nodded by these correspondents, and
they are keenly affirmative in their
characteristics. In their ambition to
serve their newspapers they always
know exactly why they visit the White
! House. Frequently matters are not
exactly ripe, and 1t is one duty of the
presidents secretary to parry the Incl
slve and probing questions of these
alert correspondents. This must be
done smilingly and in good form,
Then, too, invariably the presidents
secretary accompanies his chief on
trips through the country. Hundreds
of details come up on these tours OF
which the president is not expected to
know. but 1t is the absolute duty Of his
secretary to be familiar with them
