II became evident yesterday that q
considerable part Of the salary cutting
programme specified by the bureau Of
standards after nearly two years work
at a cost of $500, 900 and indorsed by
the budget subcommittee Of the Board
Of Estimate will be ~repudiated by the
Estimate Board.
The main budget committee OF the
board met in Comptroller Prendergast's
office and for the first time voted on
some OF the subcommittee recommen-
dations. Mayor Mitchell and Comptroller
the cuts the subcommittee had advised
except that in a few cases the Mayor
suggested compromises whereby a city
employee would DE reduced. but not as
much as had been urged. A few of these
compromises were accepted. but In the
main the Mayor and Mir. Prendergast
were %outvoted. . to 3. by President Nc
Aneny of the Aldermen and borough
Presidents Mithewson and Pounds.
The two extremes were represented by
MIR. Prendergast. who was for adopting
the standard, zation plan In all its de-
tails, and Mr. Pounds of Brooklyn, who
confessed that It wrung his soul to cut
a dollar from a~nybody's pay.
Tn Subcommittee had advised drop
ping Andrew j. o Neil, Tenement House
superintendent in Brooklyn. from
to 1880. At the Mayors suggestion
Mr.. O'Neil was cut only TO $4,000.
Eieven inspectors Stay In.
Eleven inspectors OF the Tenement
House Depa rtment would have been re-
duced from $500 to 81. 200 and one in
spector from $3.50 to 81 400 II the sub
committees findings had been adopted.
The Mayor and the Comptroller were
beaten by Messrs. McAneny. Pounds and
Msthewson. who ruled that the inspec-
tors shall stay at their present salaries.
Another disputed case was that of Miss
Alice s.. Clark. s~tenographer for the
Municipal Art Commission. whose salary
of 1880 vas slated by the committee
for a cut to $1,000.
'She has served the city for thirteen
years. said President McAneny. "She
is much more than a stenOgrapher her
work Is really secretarial. She is com
petent and faithful and 10 not over
paid"
"Her job requires no particular
ability commented the Comptroller.
Business concerns are In the habit
of putting a rating on such ability" re-
torted Mr.. McAneny. who then moved
that Miss Clark be retained at $500,
The Mayor suggested that $3.50 was a
better figure. Then followed a long
debate on the qualifications OF q
stenographer and Miss Clark won by
the a me 3 TO 2 vote.
. David Ferguson, supervisor Of the
CitD Record. appeared to plead for sew
era subordinates. lie said the proposed
reduction OF W. u. Hettier. a store
keeper. thirty years in the service. from
$3.50 to $1,000 was unjust. The Mayor
suggested 1850 as a compromise. but

Fire Department captains, lieutenants
and fourth grade firemen to the number
Of 1,i2O will have their salaries cut as
FOLLOWS " the Corporation Counse agrees
with the Charter as interpreted by some
members OF tho budget subcommittee :
Three hundred and one captains from
$4,000 to s2,l60, 40 l%ieutenants from
s2.l00 to $500 and 500 fourth grade
hremen from $1,000 to $500 a year.
Section TAO OF the Charter, which fixed
the pay for these grades at t2.l60,
$500 n $500 respectively. says And
no pay or compensation shall he allowed
or paid to any such firemen or officers
except as In this seceion provided for,
n other law to the contrary notwith-
standing"
Nevertheless the Board Of Estimate in
1911 raised the salaries for the three
grades to the present figure. II appar-
emily relied on another section Of the
Charter which permits the board to raise
salaries. Certain members OF the budget
subcommittee insist hat this action Vas
illegal and that for -four years the city
has been paying its fremen more money
than they were lawfully entitled tn. The
question has been referred TO the Cor
poration Counsel. Apparently the mem-

no idea that the Corporation Counsel
will sustain the objection.

that neither man would be cut at all. and
that the chance of the captains, lieuten-
ants and fourth graders being reduced
did not amount to one in "A hundred

AngIo-German relations before the

man culture, now byword in Britain
The London Express demands the re
moval of lord Haldane from the chan
cellOrship. He allowed himself to be
duped by the kaiser. it declares in ed
itOrials and cartoons, and should have
no part in Briuain's government at
this critical juncture
The visit of lord Haldane to the
meeting of the American Bar assOcia-
ton at Montreal two years ago is still
fresh in the minds of Americans and
they will scarcely take this denuncia-
ton of him at its face value. But
despite the rallying of friends to Hal
danes defence the campaign against
him seems to be making progress.
&c is not surprising to learn that
king George and queen Mary are the
ones who have had the cartoons insult
ing the kaiser toned down. Especially
did the royal couple not desire to have
these malicious and abusive documents
go to their soldiers in the field.
The cartOOnists represented the
kaiser as a butcher whom anyone
would be justified in assassinatinE;
while the crown prince was widely
dubbed The Clown Prince even in
otherwise serious news articles and
was represented as a half witted fell

noted above, is a familiar word in the
annals of the house Of king George
Princess Christian Attacked.
The attack now is upon princess
Christian, queen Victoria's daughter,
for she received $4,000 year and at
the same time has a son fighting in
the German army.
The wife of the duke of COnnaught
governor of Canada, is also coming in
for the Socialists wrath. She is the
daughter of the famous prince Karl
OF HOhenzollern, the Red Prince" one
of the heroes of the Franco Prussian
war. The Socialists say the Con-
naughts are getting too much of the
peoples money. The duke gets an
annual stipend fronIH the taxes of
1926, 600, as son of queen Victoria,
in addition to the revenues from a
great private fortune bequeathed to
him by his mother and the salary he
receives at present as governor gen
eral, ought to make it unnecessary
for him to touch a penny of his ordin-
