NO"

Il sent wireless and that seemed
to bother him. 1t looked SO that he did
not want anybody to learn that he had
been rescued. The moment the boat
touched the pier he lost himself in the
crowd. Fifty reporters came aboard,
but he was gone. And could but tell
them just what I'm telling you."

The captain did so. 1t was the same
description he had given to all the re-
porters. Norton looked over the rail

you want me to do?"
"The police will not bother you. This

Whereas the last Legislature passed
a measure known as mo. 9, the State
Forests Amendment" providing that
such state lands as are better fit ted
for growing forests than Tor farming
be set aside and be managed by the
state as State Forests; and,
Whereas Amendment No. 9 is to be
submitted to popular vote November
grid, it is worthy of careful considera-
ton by everyone interested in the pub
lie welfare; and, 49,. u.
Whereas this measure will affect
particularly the public school fund, it
is deemed fitting and proper that the
subject of Estate Forests" receive par
ticular consideration in our public
schools.
Therefore, Wednesday, October 28,
1914, is designated as Estate Forests
Day., to be observed in every public
school with appropriate exercises and

$1,000 A YEAR SAID
TO Be living WAGE

New York, Nov. 2O.-The bureau
CT standards Of the board OF estimate,
which fixes all salaries in qnunicipai
departments. has decided that $1,000
a year is the living wage in New
York city. In report yesterday to
the board of aldermen, the bureau,
stated that the $1,000 a year salary
is taken as the oasis for what is
termed higher and lower grades or
work.
The report gives the results OF
work Of nearly year and officially
disapproves of quick action in salary
raises. By establishing a system OF
regular periodic increases based upon
length of service anc efficiency rec
ords in the lower grades and in the
higher grades upon length of service
and efficiency records, it is estimated
that substantial equality in salaries
will be brought about in a period OF
seven or eight years.
"Owing to conditions apparently in
herent in city employment under civ.
ill service restrictions says the. NJ
port, lit is necessary to pay q com.
pensation of from 10 to 20 per cent
higher than that which is paid in pTi-
vate employment"

tion of Mexico City BY the Carranza
troops will be completed tomorrow
noon, according TO official dispatch
es. to the state department. Generals
CbregOn and B,anco are In command
there and assured the Brazilian min
lister and American Consul Silliman
that a small force will be left to pre-.

moving eastward to Orizaba, Carran-
za's temporary capital. Their plans
respecting Mexico City are not re.
vealed.
Funston's Mind Made Up.
Villa advanced to Queretaro, which
he occupied without resistance. This
fact has given rise to the impression
that his entrance into Mexico City
will be unresisted. Officials Of the
state and war departments declared
tonight that no change is announced
in the pan of evacuation, of Vera
Cruz by the American forces next
Monday. 1t is said officially that the
question as to which faction or force
will receive possession Of Vera Cruz
Is left to General Funston Xor deter
mination. 1t is understood he will de-
liver the city to whichever force is in
de facto control of immediate vicin-
ity, of the port.
