Suggested For Increasing
Salaries OF FiTGmGn
May Abolish Office Of Fire.
Chief business Trans
acted By Council

Two plans for increasing the salar
les of the city firemen were presented
to council at its regular meeting Mon
day night and along with them the
recommendation of the fire committee
that no increase be made which
would increase the present pay roll
of the department.
The plans aim to meet with the re
quest of the firemen and still not add
to the amount of money now spent
for salaries. The first plan embraces
the abolition of the office of fire chief
"a saving of $500 per annum-the
reduction of the force by one man
with consequent saving of $3.50, the
appointment of one of the present
firemen as chief with SIS per month
salary and the increasing of the sal
aries of the remainder of the flremen
from $G5 to $40. The total saving to
the city by this plan would be $500 a
year.
The other plan also provides for
the abolition of the office of fire chief
the appointment of one of the firemen
In his stead with O salary Of $40 a
month and the increasing of the sal
aries of firemen from $65 to $6S a
month. By this method, there would
be no saving or loss to the city. AZ
ter some discussion, the report Of the
fire committee was received and filed
The police committee, asked to in
vestigate the raising of the salaries
Of the police force, requested more
time. The request was granted.
The street committee to which the
task had been assigned of looking
into the bad condition of East Gam
bier street, where an unfinished paw
ing Job has forced the blockading of
the street for the winter, reported
that the grouting was in bad shape,
that man-hole was out of place and,
in the case of certain vehicles which
ignore the blockade and pass through
the street, might result in damage
suit against the city. The committee
recommended that gravel be placed
on the street, either at the expense
of tn contractor or city. The report
was received and filed.
A resolution was adopted, releasing
Mrs. Anna l.. Oborne of the payment
of assessments against her Easi
Chestnut street property.

Worry Over Debt On Farm
Weighed Very Heavily
On Mans Mind And May Have
Prompted The Suicide

Sparta, o., Jan. 1e-John Shore,
one Of the well-known farmers Of thls
vicinity, killed himself yesterday
morning with shot gun In hls barn.
The body was found later In the
morning by Shores t4-yearoId son,
Wilbur Shore.
The Shore family resided on the
Taylor farm, which is located about
three miles west OF here. Early yes
terday morning Mr.. Shore remarked
TO his wife that he had noticed rabbit
tracks near the barn and that he be-
lieved he would try to kill one or two
of the animals. He went to his room,
put on sweater, coat and heavy
hunting coat and, after securing his
shot gun, left the house.
AS he did not return to the house
TO do some chores, which Mrs. Shore
mad requested him to DO, she sent
their young son, Wilbur, to call his
father TO the house. Upon entering
the barn, the boy was Mortified to see
the body of his father lying on the
aoor.
Mr.. Shore had removed his hunting
coat and sweater and had pulled his
clothing back so that his breast was
bare. He then placed the shot gun
over his heart and pulled the trigger
The charge completely tore away q
portion ofthe heart
The body was removed to the house
: and a physician was called, but deatf
mad resulted some time before,
There appears to be no motive To-
the suicide. Mr. Shore had been IL
the best of health and was always
cheerful with his family and with tn,
neighboTs. Last fall he purchased
large farm near Mt Gilead and Wen
into debt considerably for the pun
chase OF the land. 1t Is thought that
perhaps, this heavy debt weighe
heavily upon his mind and Nigh
have prompted him to take his life.
The deceased was 80 years of ag
and is survived by wife and six chi
dren, rhe deceased had made hi
home on the Taylor farm for sewers
years and was IA man well liked by a
his neIghbors. lie intended to mov
his family to his farm in the spring.

10 Dc DEBATED
IN COMMONS
Question Of Declaring an Actual
Blockade Of Germany.
BRITISH AWAIT ALLIES VIEWS

Sec Only In the United States the
Possibility of a Long Diplomatic
Controversy over the Proposed
cordon-France and Italy So Far
Fail to Warm Up to Idea Of Full
Pledged Blockade.
London, Jan. 19-The question OF
declaring an actual blockade of Ger
many and Austria will be debated
shortly in the house of commons. The
government is now awaiting the views
Of France and Russia before deciding
definitely.
That the statements of King Gustav
before the Swedish riksda, warning
against increasing usurpation by bel
ligerents of Swedish commercial
tights. will not cause the slightest
deviation from England's intended
policy OF complete blockade, was the
opinion given here. The program by
which Germany will be cut off abso-
iutely from the outside world will be
carried through, according to those In
well informed circles, in spite OF pro-
tests or threats.
The position of the movement for
complete blockade is such that any
concessions might lead to the unseat-
Ing of the government. and this will
not be risked. The press is vigorous
In It's support of the measure and
would resent any move to render II
less effective, and the people as a
whole are in favor Of it.
Notwithstanding the decision OF the
government to take this stand, King
Gustav's speech received the closest
consideration. 1t is in the United
bility of long diplomatic contro-
versy. Sweden, however, has had so
many efforts made within her borders
to involve her in the war on the side
of the Germans that she is regarded
very differently.
French Position.
The newspapers which have been
advocating n blockade of the German
coast find in King Gustav's speech an
other argument in their favor. The
enforcement of actual blockade, they
say, would cut off all traffic between
the Scandinavian countries and Ger.
many and eliminate all controversy.
The attitude of France in particular
has been holding back decision by
the British government in favor of q
full-fedged blockade. The position of
the allied republic has been that such
a declaration now. IL agreed to by
France, might later be used to the
republics disadvantage should she in
time OF war seek to import goods
through neighboring countries. Bel
gium, Spain and Italy. The last named
also is reported to have hesitated at
approving the British plan for the
came reasons put forward by France.
II is possible also that Italy considers
| the additional reason that not being
at war with Germany a blockade in
which she, with France was expected
to furnish the main blockading force
placed In the position OF conducting
a blockade against nominally friend
! ly country.
Great Britain's position is that such
neutral ports as Rotterdam, in Hol
land, and Malmoe, in Sweden are as
a matter of fact German ports in time
OF war, and that in so far as exports
to these ports are intended for trans
shipment to Germany or Austria enc
mics OF these powers are entitled un
der international law to stop such
trade.

LAUDS KITCHENER
 IN HOUSE OF LORDS
Viscount French Eulogizes His Former
 Chief-Great Loss to Country

London. June 2O.-Field Marshal Vis- in the United Kingdom, eulogized his former chief Earl Kitchener, In tine House of Lords today, after the Marquis C.. Lansdowne had spoken of the great loss the country had suffered in tue death of the war secretary.
 Referring to the time when he conl- ma nded the British s,rces ou e,e conti- nent. Field Marshal French saic Earl Kitchener never had spared any effort to supply all his demands. There had been many difficulties in providing men magnitude of the demands, but Earl Kitchener had faced these problens with characteristic deternl nation and endurance.
 The debt Great Britain owed to Kitchener, Viscount French continu ed, was expressed in the manifold armies which were defending British interests in all parts of the world. He contin- ueG:
 "It would be idle to pretend that in the past two years I always have been eye to eye with the late field marshal but such diversion of opinion as oc- cured in no way interfered With na- my confidence in Kitcheners s will power and ability to meet the heavy demands I had to make upon him."
