NO NEED FOR THE BILL.

Two OF the supervisors, In conference with
house members yesterday over the bill boosting
; salaries in the municipality, seem to believe
there is nothing out of the way in having these
salaries raised during their term of office
If any public official elected on platform of
economy and knowing full well the duties and
tile salary of his Office cannot see the impro-
,priety In urging bill doubling that salary, it
is not likely that mere adverse comment will
greatly enlighten him. But adverse comment
may halt the Legislature. And it should be
halted II. rs
There is no necessity for the bill being
thrashed over at all--no necessity for its
amendment. TIE whole bill should be tabled
1t is not only uncalled for, it is superuous, for
other legislation so renders it.
The legislature will be asked to pass bill
providing for a cityscharter convention, to re-
wise the city charter and report back to the
Legislature of 1917. This convention will sit
for months; il will be composed entirely of
voters and tax payers in this city and as such
men personally and actively interested In good
government. The whole subject of city gov.
eminent is to be worked out on systematic
basis! 1t is hoped to replace the present patch
work charter with document framed to suit
present and future needs. The matter of sal
aries will be thoroughly discussed.
With this competent and modern plan just
ahead fer getting model government why
should the legislature pass or even consider a
bill whose sole object is to boost salariese
The Star Bulletin repeats that the city itself
should determine the salaries paid its officials,
The new city charter should provide for such
determination, and the referendum vote might
well be the method The charter should also
provide that no increase in the salary Of any
office take effect during the current term.

Cafe Talk Gave
Away Gun Deal

Four weeks ago two men went TO
dine at the Cafe Lafayette. They
hadn't been at the table very long
when a reporter for The Tribune en-
tered the restaurant and took the ad-
joining table. A young woman COM
panion gave the latter some sort of
standing in the place. Between the
two rarties was a thin screen of ferns
and flowers.
The reporter had been instructed by
his chief 10 keep tab on one of his
neighbors. Before the evening was
over the man in question had spun
to his friend a wonderful yarn about
the pending Krag rife deal. As it
turned out he was one of the con-
spirators who was to clean up a fort
une. H was negotiating with c. j..
Laughlin, of Welland, Ontario.
Mr.. Laughlin was growing dis
couraged about that time, and the next
day decided to go home and let the
thing simmer. He engaged berth on
the train leaving New York at 1880
O'Clock the next evening, but for some
reason cancelled mis- reservation just
before train time. and postponed his
departure for twenty-four hours. All
of which came 10 the attention of the
Tribune man. When Mr.. Laughlin did
go north the reporter was in the same
car.
A few days later Mr.. Laughlin was
bearded in his own lair at Welland
and induced to talk about real estate
anything but Krsg rifles.
The acquaintance formed that morn
ing progressed rapidly. even If Mr..

friends newspaper association. No
one could help entertaining a friendly
feeling for Jim" Laughlin. lie IS
aFable and agreeable. He has many
aco,laintances. The Welland Club IS
fine place to entertain them.
So il was that during the next two
weeks the two men became very good
friends. And. on his part, the reporter
hopes that this little story Will not
open any serious seams in thas TREND
ship.
Rack and forth across the Canadian
border the game was played. In Buff
falo Jim" Laughlin is as popular as he
is at home, and many Of the most
substantial business men Of that city
are among his cronies.
Bit by bit. over the dinner table or
IN tho library OF the club. the story
Of Laughlin's quest OF the Krags came

on the Wellsnd Canal and admirably

roads. Thus it may be seen that there
are many routes for getting goods.
whether rifles or pig IRON, into and
out Of Welland.
-Four years ago Laughin went to
Welland, fresh from n realty campaign
II the far West. To-day he has
snug fortune from the development of
Ontario real estate. He owns hum
dreds OF acres of land close TO the
centre Of the town and has sold as
much more.
He is president Of the Laughlin
Realty Company, which has one Of the
best business structures in Welland.
He also owns the street railway that
connects the Grand Trunk and Michl-
gan Central railroad stations, which
are at opposite ends of the town. He
has a fine home and maintains a cou
pie of automobiles.
Got Sample Rife.
Associated with Laughin in the
handling of war supplies for the Do
minion government, is {. 7. Grantham,
another prominent business man Of
Ontario. At present they are engaged
in the manufacture Of shells for the
British army and are considering fur
Their activities along the same lines.
From the amount Of business the
Laughlin syndicate has been handling
il is safe to assume that its connec-
tions at Ottawa are of the best. Ger
tainly Jim" Laughln is known to
many of the powerful men in the
Dominion government, and when he
talks about orders it is considered there
is something back Of his words. =,
Some time ago. after Laughiln mad
become interested in the Krag deal, he
iourneyed to Washington. There ne
called on a high official and held long
conversation. Exactly what was SAID
Of course, cannot be reported, but mere
is the sequel:

She is beautiful in the fullest sense
Of the word. More than that, she is
extremely clever. As a conversations
aist she is charming, and her person
atty gives her a remarkable influence
over those with whom she comes IN
contact All of this despite the fact
that she is the mother Of a son OF
twenty-siX years and two grown daugh-
tiers. The young women also are beau
tiful. and evidently have thoroughly
assimlated their mothers teachings.
All Of which has nothing 70 dc with
krag rifles. The advOcation of con
structive propaganda and the sale Of
death dealing equipment would not APP
pear at glance to go hand in hand.
The only explanation Mrs. Lewis
offers as TO her connection with the
Krag deal is that the hand Of fate was
responsible a deep wonder drives the
natural sparkle from Mrs. Lewis's eycs

1n-Runners Chase $6,OOOOOO Rainbow of Old Rifles

c. J. Laughlin left the office with an
order for a sample Krag rife. He wen,
to the Frsnkford arsenal and obtained
the gun. with 100 rounds Of ammuni-
ton. For the rife he paid 50. lhs'
rife Is now in Laughlin's Toronto OF
fee. and in the fields OF Ontario MY
Of the cartridges have been hred 70
ascertain Il the prospective purchase OF
$4,000 Krags would be advisable.
Just how the official who signed the
order will explain the incident remains
10 be seen, but from information
gathered in Canada il seems unlikely
that he was in total ignorance OF the
significance Of the purchase.
Canadian Route Ready.
According TO the plans Of the Cana
dian syndicate. the whole lot OF krags
was TO be prchased from the United
States at the rate Of So each. The Do
minion government was ready 70 pay
S25 for each rife. providing margin
of Sl9. as stated above.
Among the ingenious schemes for
getting the arms into Canada the most
interesting mentioned was as follows:
The rifles would be loaded into cars at
Rock Island and routed via Chicago and
Detroit, or Port Slocum, 10 Buffalo, IN
the name Of whatever consignee should
be decided upon. That would insure
the cars going through the customs un-
molested.
OF course. the Canadian authorities
would not hold up munitions Of war
at the border. but il was regarded as
advisable that the consignment should
go through with as little sounding OF
trumpets as possible. Besides, where
the Canadian customs men are found
there also are the men engaged in a
similar pursuit for the states.
The Michigan Central Railroad from
the points named above to Buffalo runs
through Ontario, and, incidentally,
through Welland. What, then, would
be easier than to sidetrack the cars
containing the rifles at Welland and re-
move the contents. True, there might
be a howl later, but the main point
would have been made and the guns
would be far from Welland when it
came.
But the great Krag myth has been
punctured The rifles are stored Sc
curely in the arsenas. Secretary Gar
rison is on the alert, and the chances
that the friendly relations Of the
United States with other nations will
be sacrificed on the altar of greed are
remote, at least as far as the Krag
rifles are concerned.

Back 10 Canada.

Laughlin spent few more days wait
ing for something TO happen and ther
turned his face toward Canada. He
has been there ever since. and il would
be hard TO offer him sufficient odds 10
bring forth a bet that the krags viii
leave the arsenals while the war lasts.
There is no question that Laughlin
was acting in good faith and would
have been able to carry out mis- part
OF the contract His interest IN the
matter was perfectly legitimate. 1t
