MRS, JORDAN SAYS
GIRLS FATHER GAVE
RIGHT OF ADOPTION

Mrs John Jordan of 515 South Fifth
street, denied this morning that she
knew of any court action that may
have been taken by the father OF
Dolores Fisher. age s. to whom she
gave a home last May. for the return
of the child to her relatives as re-
ported from Cincinnati.
According to Mrs. Jordan's state.
ment the mother of the child died
some time ago and the child did not
get the attention she should, so an Of.
fer to give the little one a home was
accepted by the father, Joseph Fisher
and an agreement entered into that in
a years time II 1t was satisfactory to
those concerned. the child would be
legally adopted by the Jordan family.
The father has not kept his part of
the contract Mrs. Jordan stated and
that unless ordered to do so by the
courts she would keep the child.
Boy Lives Near City.
There is another child, Raymond,
fifteen years old. who Is living with
a farmer near town at present.
Relatives of the father living in
Cincinnati, 1t Is said, are trying to get
possession of the child for him and
this is being opposed by Miss Flor
ence Topmiller, who claims to be its
Godmother and who declares that Lit.
tie Dolores was given to her by Mrs.
Fisher, the child's mother, on her
deathbed.
Miss Topmiller further asserted
that the child was given into the care
OF the Jordon family with the consent
OF the father.
Efforts of the relativ IN cot Judoa
Lueders Of Cincinnati to issue an ord
er for possession of the child were un-
successful and the Judge said that any
legal steps to take the child from the
possession Of the Jordan family must
be taken through a writ of habeas cor

Council Takes Up Tentative
Draft of 1916 Budget in
Executive Session Last
Night.

Work on framing the 1916 budget
was begun last night when council

han to discuss appropriations for the
various city departments. A tentative
budget prepared by the controller was
read and some changes made in it.
Monday night the city officials will
meet again and consider the various
appropriations again.
Only one salary increase was tenta-
lively agreed upon at the meeting last
night. City officials. in considering
spector Of weights and measures, mar
ket master and sanitary officer for the
district south Of Main street, that his
salary be increased from $720 a year
to $1,000, decided that Mckinley was
at least entitled to salary of $40.
Mckinley Efficient.
Mckinley has been a very efficient
officer and the officials believe he is
doing entirely too much work for the
salary he now receives.
Increases in the wages of drivers Of
one horse wagons in the service of
luc oCIccI department may also re-
cetve an increase although they have
not asked for any. These men now re-
ceive So a day, but the city only fur
nishes the beds of their wagons.
The police department has asked
that an appropriation be provided for
two additional officers, to be used
as traffic men. No action
was taken on this request, made by
President Eversman, of the police
board, and Chief Goodwin, without
with the two other board
members.
"The city's income next year will
only be $4,000 or $4,000 more than this
year and the appropriations will be
pared SO that the expenditures will
not exceed our income" Mayor Rob-
bins said today. Il doubt very much
if the public improvement fund in
1916 will be any more than 1t was this
year, $4,000, and II extensive i'm
provements are provided next year,
the city will have to meet It's share of
such expense through the medium Of
a bond issue, as it did this year"

Estimate Presented to Board

COUNCIL IN SESSION
Commissioners and Members
of County Council Take
Up Problem at Meeting
This Afternoon.

At the cost of $500 a temporary
brigde can be constructed at the site
of the old National Road bridge

conference of County Engineel
Mueller, Engineer T. r. Daniels, the
traction company engineer, and Cit,
Engineer Charles. The report wal
made to the county commissioner
this morning and final action on the
recommendation of an appropriation
for the construction of the bridge will
be taken this afternoon when the com
missioners meet in joint session with
the county council.
May Reduce Cost.
The estimate of the engineers wat
based on building the bridge out oi
entirely new material. If the mater
ial which is now in the Main street
bridge can be used In the tempoY
ary bridge. the cost could be greatly
reduced. The plans Of the three en-
Eineers consist of making q structure
thirty feet wide, strong enough to &C
commodate heavy interurban cars.
1t would be built of wood, with steel
spans across the channel
oUHC1 AulSuu0uL JS1lOIlSS appeared
before the board this morning and
promised that the traction company
would pay at least one-third of the
cost Of building the bridge. Whether
the city or the county should pay the
other two-thirds, would have to be de-
cided. County Commissioner Ander-
son was In favor of the county paying
for the other two-thirds.
Even an expenditure Of $500 on
the bridge would not be lost after the
large bridge Is placed in condition,
for the temporary brige could be re-
moved to another part Of the county
when the necessity arrived. The COM
expressed themselves in
favor Of the plan, but delayed action
until this afternoon.

COPENHAGEN. Aug. 21.-Ger-
many's Baltic fleet is reported in q
dispatch from Stockholm to have de-
feated the Russian fleet, entered the
Gulf of Riga and bombarded the port
OF Riga. The message gives NO de-
tails.

airship was brought down by Russian
artillery Friday afternoon after it had
dropped several bombs on wilma, the
war office announced today. The
crew of the airship was captured.
Further details of the attack by the
German Baltic fleet upon Riga were
anxiously awaited today. The official
announcement Of last night that the
Russian warships defending the Bal
tic port had drawn in closer caused
extreme pessimism.
1t was admitted in official circles
that If the German fleet succeeded in
forcing its way into the Gulf OF Riga.
the chief port on the gulf could not
hold out. Preparations for such an
eventuality had been made by remov-
ing government treasures and valuable
relics. but it had been hoped. never
theless, that the Russian warships and
mine field could prevent the Germans
from entering the gulf.
The rapidity Of the German advance
from the Vistula is causing disquiet
here. Large Russian forces are still
in the territory toward which the Ger.
mans are proceeding. They are re-
treating as rapidly as possible and de-
laying in every way the German ad-
vance, but it is feared that part OF
them may be cut off.
When Grand Duke Nicholas escaped
the Vistula trap set by the Teutonic
allies, 1t was thought his armies would
be safe on the Niemen-Bug front, but
the fall of Kovno has put them in a
wifferent position.
On the Ossowiec- Bielestok front the
Germans are striving to hamper the
retreat that other forces on
the Kovno-Vilna line may strike east
ward and cut off the Withdrawing
troops.

Ship.
MAY SEVER RELATION
Explanation From Germany
May Show Respect for At
titude of U. S. on Subma-
rine Warfare.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The crisis
resulting from the sinking of the
White Star Liner Arabic, with the now
certain loss of American lives, admit
tedly was more serious today.
While "suspending judgment" until
the exact facts are available, admins
tration officials were inclined to look
with alarm on the increasing activity
of the German underwater boats. All
reports Indicate that Berlin has re-
newed her campaign to break the Brit.
ish blockade, and officials admitted
privately their fears that the naval
party which advocates the sinking OF
all British ships regardless or whether
neutral are on board, is in the ascend
ancy.
May Sever Relations.
1t is considered certain here that
unless Germany should disavows the
sinking Of the Arabic--something no
one hopes for-or offers a legal tech
nical excuse for 1t. the president must
withdraw Ambassador Gerard and hand
Ambassador Won Bernstorff his pass
ports.
Pressure for action and no further
exchange of written communications
is being brought to bear on the white
house from Influential quarters. Many
leading Democrats are writing and
telegraphing to the white house urg.
ing that a special session of congress
be Immediately called.
Until the complete reports have
been received, the president will main
tain his present attitude. Not only the
stories of the American survivors un-
der oath, but the report of the sub
marine commander to the German au-
thorities must be at hand before the
American policy is decided upon, it
was stated officially at the white house
today.
An intimation has been conveyed to
the administration that Germany will
justify the sinking of the liner Wheth-
er this will be done by declaring that
the Arabic was warned and attempted
to escape, or that it tried to run down
the submarine is not known.
Action on Excuse.
Should Germany offer an explana-
tion, 1t would be accepted here as an
that that government has
not rejected the American contention
and is not riding rough shod over the
principles for which the United States
is contending.
The last official word from Queens
town stated that only two Americans,
Mrs. Josephine Bruguiere and DR.. Ed
mund Wood, we're missing. This infor-
nation came from Vice Consul Thomp-
son. State department officials believe
this to be a correct report Of the num-
