ASK $4,000 FOR
rs PATROLMEN
Board ALSO Requests $1,000
Appropriation for Satisfaction
in the VaiIsubrg Section.

At the regular meeting of the Board
OF Police Commissioners held yester-
day afternoon, the annual budget was
submitted. and additional appropria-
tions of $4,000 for sub-station in the
Vailsburg section. and $4,000 for
twenty-five extra patrolmen. were
asked for.
The question OF creating the rank of
inspector in the department was dis
cussed at length, and the members of
the board tried to act as emissaries of
peace in the controversy between the
management of the Newark baseball
club and the dismissed special patrol
men.
Including the additional appropria-
tons asked for the budget amounts to
1891 ,SSs.60 of which the salaries
amount to 1904, $50. The finance com
mittee will be urged to allow the ex-
ira appropriations asked, as the needs
for additional patrolmen and the
Vailsburg sub-station are considered
most urgent. The needs of sub
station in the Forest Hill section were
urged upon the commissioners by Fred
c. Ritger. secretary of the Northwest
ern Improvement Association. The
commissioners admitted the need of
sub-station. but referred the petit
toner 10 the finance committee.
Five special officers dismissed from
the employ of the Newark baseball
club last Tuesday appeared before the
board and aired their grievances. A
representative of the club was also
present and explained the manage
ment's attitude after which the COM
missioners and the clubs representa-
tive held a conference. and President
J ader stated to a reporter for the
Evening Star that he thought the
matter would be adjusted and that the
dismissed men would be taken back
by the club, as it had been represent
ed to him by the management when
he ordered more policemen detailed
there that the special men then en-
ployed would be retained.
Patrolman George II. Ryder, Of the
Fifth precinct was dismissed from the
force for being intoxicated while in
uniform and on duty. Several other
officers were fined for minor infrac-
ton of the rules. Sergeant Jacob s
Lunger, detailed at police headquar,
tiers, was retired on pension of half
pay.
Patrolmen Quinby Venner, Carol
and Flynn, of the Fifth precinct am
Detectives Sebold and Reilly, of tn.
Sixth precinct. were commended foI
service.

BILLS OLD X-RAY MULE
BY c. G. GRANT.

I'm just in from Plumville," said
the travelling man. Il heard a mule
story while | was in that town.
THE city marshal one day last
summer said to Big Bill McCune In
front of Hickey's grocery: Bill, II you
don't keep that OIL mule O. your'n on
tn streets OF this hysr'corporation III

big Bill bit of q whacking big
chew OF tobacco before he drawled
out: Well, IL you do, I'll git chure

That evening Jerry, Big Bills mule.
did not return to the barn. He passed
the night in the village pound, pas
ture largely infested with weeds and
hemmed round with hedge OF tail
burdocks.
THE next morning Big Bill started
out exploring and soon found Jerry
rolling round contentedly in the weeds.
They tickled his ribs, which had at
tanned undue prominence while ram
bling the streets Of Plumville in search
Of Juicy grass.
When Big Bill saw Jerry so con-
tented he said to himself: Guess I'll
leave the old fellow there for the rest
of the week. Ill be out to Hen Cal
listers, anyway, diggin' that we'll
THAT afternoon Aunt Betty Brown
happened to pass the lot where OLD
Jerry was nibbling. The sight OF the
forlorn creature with his sharp hort-
zon olSlines touched her heart and she
waddled home for something to hide
the mules X-rays. Soon his bone pile
was concealed beneath a couple OF
gunny sacks.
Every night the city marshal tai
lied up another days board against
old Jerry. AT % cents day, that will
make pretty nigh five dollars agin tn
end Of tn month"; he said.
by the middle Of the next month
the marshal announced that he would
auction of old Jerry to pay for his
feed. There was a Bill against him
for SIPS and it was growing larger
every day. The auction was set for
two o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Colonel Wilson was auctioneer.
"'Crowd up around here, gentle
men!' he shouted. Now, how much
am | offered to start this mule? He's
guaranteed not to scare at automo-
biles or thrashin' machines. He's q
family animal through and through.
Now, what do l hear to start him.?
There came a deep silence, while
several Of the farmers tried to lift the
gunny sack that concealed Jerrys
striking points.
Gentlemen said the colonel, we
sell Jerry just as he stands, fly nets
and ALL How much am bid to start
him?
Twenty-Five cents said old Jack
Pemble.
THE colonel fddled around for ten
minutes trying to get another bid. but
they were not game sports. Twenty
five once, twenty-five twice, twenty
five three times! Are you all done!
Sold to Jack Pemble for % cents!'
eff you happen to be motoring along
the road FIVE miles from Plumville and
see an old mule standing patiently
near a cGn crib while half a dozen
children pull themselves up by his
ears and slide down over his sides
