WASHINGTON, d. C. Feb. 49,
American sympathy can be given
without reserve to 'partitioned Po-

ing Empire of yesterday, the keen suf-
fering battlefield of today, whose
farms and industry, villages and cities
are being made war-offerings and
whose people are fighting one another
under three different flags; for Poland
lis the least concerned sacrifice in the
European struggle. Polish lands COM
prise almost the entire eastern war
theater. This people, their checqueT-
ed, turbIent history, their proud boasts
and dearest hopes, and their peculiar
characteristics are carefully explain

Philadelphia City Solicitor Refuse,
100000 Fees He's Entitled to.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept IS. - City
Solicitor Ryan has broken municipal
precedent by refusing to accept 500 900
in fees to which he was legally entitled
by the decision of the supreme court.
These are known as ''docket fees -
and are allowed to the city solicitor in
certain eases.
The supreme court, in the case of
the city of Pittsburg against the city
solicitor OF Pittsburg, ruled that the
so-called docket fees belonged to
the law officer and not to the city In
spite of this decision, which is held as
clearly giving to Mr.. Ryan the right
to the fees, he has refused to take
them.
He explained that since he got $40
900 a year salary, he had not the mora
right to take the fees

to pay back to the town OF Clifton any
money that that town has overpaid to
the State. l am assuming. although ]
may be wrong, that the town has paid
for this particular item more than
they owed the State OF Maine, owing
to a, clerical error. Now, if that be the
fact, it seems to me il would be al
act of simple justice for the State of
Maine to pay back to the treasurer OF
that town that sum, because there is
no reason why the town treasurer
should pay it. and it would not be
right. AS l said, may be wrong about
this, but if am right think it is
only an act of simple justice. The
matter as 1 understand it, is a small
item. only five dollars. but five dollars
in these hard times is quite a lot OF
money, and it ought to be given to
the man to whom it belongs and no.
be kept b ythe State Of Maine, which
has no right to it, if the bill is correct
ly described.
Mr.. WOODMAN Of Auburn. Mr..
Speaker, to make the facts clear in re-
gard to this matter might simply add
TO the statement OF the gentleman from
Calais, Mr.. st. Clair. that this meney
was paid to the State by mistake on
the part Of the town clerk, owing to the
killing Of one female dog, and before
the report got to him he paid the money
to the State and the State has got his
money. and they have no female dog.
