The board of aldermen and the
common council VIII meet at 1:45 TO-
right ian joint session for the election
Of three school trustees, whose terms
expire April g. The offices to be hileo,
ior which the inCumbcnts are again
candidates, included First district W.
Floyd Reams; Second district, f. La"
ion Crutchfield: Third district walker
&. Cottrell. No opposition in either
IT these instances has been announced
and no hitch in the re-election OF
either of the candidates Is expected
After the election the common coun-
ell will give way to the regular meet
ing OF the aldermen.
Chief of interest to the latter
branch Of the council Is the concur
renee on the budget, which was unani-
mousiy adopted without debate by the
council last Thursday night. No OPP
position to the document has been ex-
pressed by any members OF the board
Ct aldermen, and II Is thought the APP
,,ropriations schedule will meet with
the same dispatch encountered when
IL was presented to the common coun-
Gil.
DR.. Levy May Resign.
In case the board concurs with the
ether branch on the document there
by sealing the appropriations for the
year. it is highly probable that DR..
f. G.. Levy. chief health officer or
the city. viii resign his position, since
he expressly stated to the finance
committee last week that he could
not continue In the city's service un-
less the appropriation for his depart
fnent Is Increased. This increase can
not he made, the committee stated,
since the city has no funds TO pro-
vide for II.
In view of these circumstances. the
action of the board of aldermen, al
though thought To he inevitable TO
concur on the budget is awaited with
much interest, since Or. Levy's action
IL expected TO follow Immediately In
official circles much interest Is at
tached TO this. not merely because of
the fact that DR.. Levy has been rec
ognized as distinct asset to the
health department. but because there
are a number of possible candidates
for his position. DR.. II. S. Stern. medf
cal examiner, ranks next below DIR.
Levy, and in case the administrative
board decides not to select some one
outside the depa rtment. the position
will fall to DR.. Stern.
Representatives of the Civic asso-
ctation may offer TO the board tohignt
resolution asking their support in
procuring municipal survey for the
city This matter was laid before
the common council at it's last meet
ing. and was laid on the table irdeh-
nitelv. the lack OF funds In the treas

AT WORK ON PLAN TO
DEVELOP u. S. ARMY

Washington, March 12.--Under in
structions from the president, the
general staff of the army is engaged
in formulating plans for the increase
and development of the United States
army in event of elimination of the
present International crisis. While
the president and his advisers are
assured that even If the United States
should find itself at war, the need
for vast army will not be imme-
date, at the same time the need for
a modern army will arise as the stu
alton develops and 1t is the wish OF
the president that when the real need
manifests itself the real army will be
ready.
Favor Universal Service.
It is thoroughly we'll understood in
Washington now that the organization
of the United States army for actual
war will not be conducted on the
basis of voluntary enlistment. Such
system of organization is opposed
by the general staff. The opposition
Is altogether unanimous. so far as the
army Is concerned. Some plan OF
universal service, perhaps a modihca-
ton of one or another OF the plans
now before the secretary OF war and
the committees of the house and sem
ate, undoubtedly will be adopted. 1t
the plans OF the general stan. which
call for the development OF first
army of approximately $4,000 men
with a war strength of 100000, and
the Chamberlain plan, which is not
quite SO broad, will be the outcome
Of present administration delibera-
tons.
Meanwhile the executive branch OF
the government is disposed to make
haste slowly with its army plans.
Public opinion is being sounded,
Every oratorical. conversational and
editorial utterance on the subject ID
enjoying the fullest scrutiny by the
presidents advisers. They want to
know what the people want before
proceeding. The administration IL
loath to grant complete approval to
a plan for universal military training
and service which has not popular en-
dorsement

Confusion Of Signals
Cause Of Bad Accident

One of the most distressing mine
accidents that has occurred in this
district in log time happened at the
Prince Consolidated last Sunday night
when Frank Burns, night shift boss,
sustained injuries from which he
died few hours later
According to evidence brought out
at the coroner's inquest held Tues
day afternoon, it appears that the
chief blame for the fatality is laid
at the door of the engineer, Ray
fusion of signals.
1t seems that Burns and a miner
by the name of Lewis, were at the
surface and requested the engineer
to lower them to the 300-foot level
The two men climbed aboard the
skip and were being let down the
shaft when J. d. Negri. skip tend
er, pulled the bell rope twice, and
Immediately the engineer let the
skip drop, evidently forgetting that
he had men aboard 1t was brought
out at the inquest that the skip tend
er and engineer had been using q
private code and this was the direct
cause of the accident which cost q
life.
When the skip was dropped sud
denly the two men were jerked from
their bearings. Lewis fell into thu
skip; Burns fell overheard and hi
companion endeavored In vain t,
Burns by clinging to his clothing
When the skip was stopped 1t was dis
covered that the shift boss has
broken arm: was badly crushe
about the chest and otherwise sus
tanned serious internal injuries.
Medical aid was promptly summon
led, but 1t was of no avail, for tn
patient died while being transferre
from the mine to the hospital.
