ST. PAUL SHERMANS TO
BE HERE THREE GAMES

What should be three crackerjack
basketball games are scheduled for
this week, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evenings, at the armory,
when the Shermans of st. Paul come
to meet the Big Bemidg team, man
aged by C. M. Jacobson.
The Shermans this season have de-
feated the Luther college quintet,
St. Anthony Commercial club, Min
nesota "aggies," Cannon Falls, Co.
lumbia Heights, Bethel academy.
Manchester college, and the only de-
feat was at the hands of the Winona
Y. M. C. A. five.
Big Bemidg wound up their work
outs last night and are confident of
making an excellent showing against
the Shermans. The probable line
up for the games on the part of the
locals is, "Fuzz" Johnson and Howe,
forwards; "Bilr' Berrigan, center;
George Graham and Cameron,
guars; Jacobson and D. Elletson, al
ternates.
All games will start at S:45 O'Clock

Alderman Moberg thought the diff
ference was unfair, anyway.
Alderman Smart asserted the truck

not
A few expressions were uttered
and then Alderman Smart expressed
himself that he thought the truck
driver and patrolmen's salaries
should be the same.
Alderman Tagley moved the report
be accepted.
President Lycan of the council
then expressed his opinion that he
thought the patrolmen should be paid
the same as the truck driver.
ADOPT Smart's Suggestion.
Alderman Smart was not for cut
ting the pay of the truck driver but
for equaliZing the salaries by raising
the pay of the patrolmen to that Of
the truck driver.
The salaries of the patrolmen were
then increased another IS per month,
and the chiefs pay raised accord
ingly, making the pay of the patrol
men equal to that of the driver of
the fire truck. Alderman Erwin,
with the consent of the other men,
bers of the committee, then changed
the figures and the recommendation
was adopted.

the salary of the police court judge

In one full sweep the salary COM
mittee of the city council last eve
ming knocked just $500 per year out
of the annual salary Of the judge Of
the Bemidji municipal court and left
it high and dry at $500 per year for
the next four years at least.
Having done this, the committee
added 5000 to the annual salary of
the city health physician and stuck
SIS per month onto the salary OF the
fire department truck driver, who is
also janitor of the city hall; and
tackled $40 per month onto the
monthly salaries of the chief of po-
lice and the patrolmen. The court
clerks salary came down from $50
per month to s25 per month.
New Office Created.
The position of commissioner of
streets was again created for the city
and the salary fixed at SIS per
month, and the city engineer, who
has been endeavoring to spread him
self over both jobs at the same time,
remains at Sc per day for all days
and fractions of time in the service
of the city.
From $65 per month, the clerk Of
the city water department goes to
$40 per month.
And the changes were adopted un-
animously by the council.
The committee which rearranged
the schedule of salaries was COM
posed of Alderman T. s. Erwin, chair
man; Alderman Thomas Smart and
Alderman S. c. Bailey.
The reduction of the municipal
judges salary and the raise in other
salaries was done with consideration
of the addition of Nymore to Be-
midi, which created another ward
for the city and added to her terri
tory and citizenship.
Police Get Increase.
In it's original draft, the salary
schedule raised the driver of the fire
truck from $75 to $50, raised the
chief of police from $50 per month
to $S5 per month, and the patrolmen
from $40 per month to SIS per
month.
When the recommendation was
presented to the city council for It's
action, Mayor Vandersluis asked why
tit was that the position of truck
driver paid more than the position
of police patrolman. He called at
tention that the truck driver did
not have to provide himself with a
uniform, as the policemen did, and
was not thus under the expense the
patrolmen were.
Alderman Smart expressed him
self to the effect that the patrolmen
had the easiest job, but the mayor
differed in this
Alderman Moberg agreed with the
mayor.
Same Proportion.
Alderman Erwin, chairman of the
committee, explained that the sal
aries of the driver and police were
increased in the same proportion as
the respective officials had been re-
ceiving.

London, Jan. 23.-The press and

lofty principles apparent in Presi-

baked some applications with no
table reference to the freedom of

is, that the speech was intended for
neither pro entente nor pro German,
but pro American and designed pri-
marily for American consumption.
