suit.
Mayor Rage and Counselor knehans
yesterday discussed the action taken
by the city of st. Louis against the
Terminal Railroad Association, and
decided to follow the precedent es-
tablished by st. Louis.
Superintendent Claiborne of the
Frisco yesterday sent one of his as
sistants to Mayor Rage to present Mr..
Claihorne's side of the controversy.
The Mayor was told that the machines
removed by the Frisco were hardly
more than junk and had not been
used.
The railroad official had hardly left
Mayor Kage's Office until one of the
Frisco machinists passed. Mayor
Kage asked him whether the ma
chimes were junk. He said five of
them had been used every day and
were in good order when the Frisco
loaded them into a car and removed
them to Springfield. The Frisco en-
pioye also told the Mayor that the
Frisco had virtually discharged all of
the men in the shop. Only four were
left, he said, and it was believed they
would be dismissed by the end of the
" eek.
A Frisco employee called at The
Tribune Office last night to complain
about the railroads treatment Of the
men. eve are unable to learn what
the officials of the railroad are plan
ring to do. There were at one time
100 men in the Cape shops, but they
are now gone. Only one year ago we
had force of men large enough to re-
pair a dozen cars each day. But the
force has been gradually reduced I'M
til it is said that only night watch
man will be left by the end of this
week. The men who have been work
ing for the past several months have
been compelled to submit to salary
reductions. A Jew official at Spring
field is said to be responsible for the
treatment the Cape is receiving, but
it is likely that he has received orders
from the st. Louis or New York
SLeellies who DOW control the road"

|SQVALLY'S DEPUTY
RESIGNS IN A ROW
Constable Announces He Will
Not Have His Work MoIest-
ed and Quits.

Harry E. Johnson, deputy constable
Of Smelterville, resigned yesterday
morning after a row with Constable
D. NJ. Scivally, who, according to wit
nesses, told Johnson he could not serve
any more warrants unless he had re-
received an order from Scivally. The
argument was the concluding chapter
to disagreement the two had yester-
day morning in Justice of the Peace
| W. H. Willer's Office.
Johnson, who performed excellent
work during his short term as deputy,
met the constable yesterday morning
at Judge Willer's Office, where a case
was to be tried in which johnson had
arrested the principal. 1t was statu-
tory charge which was preferred
against William Hixon several days
ago.
In the past few weeks Justice of
the Peace Willer has had Johnson
serve all warrants, because he got bet
ter service from johnson, he said, than
Constable Scivally gave. This, it is
said, angered the aged constable. They
met again in Haarig ard renewed the
argument. Johnson told Scivally that
he would resign.
Il will not permit anything to re-
strain me from CARRYING out my duties
rs a deputy constable" Johnson said.
If l am asked TO get service by any
Judge, | shall proceed, and will not
let anything stand in my way. If my
duties aAe to be restricted or limited,
then l resign"
"Thcn you resign" retOrted Con-
stable Scivally, and the two departed.
Johnson, however, according to the
law will have to submit his resigna-
ton in writing before it can be cffec-
tive.
Judge Willer, who had relied on
Johnson for a number Of important
arrests. expressed regret at learning
that Johnson had resigned. He added
that he would not depend upon Scival-
" for serving warrants. IF any are
to be served l will hand them to the
local police" he said.
Two months ago Judge Wilier and
Constable Scivally engaged in a heat
ed argument in the formers office.
The Judge pointed out a number Of
warrants which ScivalIy had carried in
his pocket for months had never been
served. Since that time feeling eX-
listed between the aged men. and the
action Of ScivalIy yesterday has widen
ed the breach.

SUPREMECOURTCUTS
COURT CLERK FEES
Officers of Circuit Courts Can.
not Draw $4,000 A Year,
Says Decision.

As a result of a decision Of the
Supreme Court declaring the law fin
ing the salary Of the circuit court
clerks to be unconstitutional, it is
probable that the clerks who have
drawn the increase allowed them I'M
der the law, will be forced to refund
the excess fee. The new law fixed the
salary of the clerks at $4,000 per year,
regardless Of The amount Of fees do
rived from the suits filed in the courts.
D. A. Nichols, clerk Of the Com
mon Pleas Court Of Cape Girardeau,
has been informed b. an attorney
whom he employed 20 look into the
validity of the law, that he ranked as
a clerk OF a circuit court and that IN
der these conditions he was entitled
to $4,000 per year. Nichols has al
ready decided 10 bring suit against
the County Court to compel the pay
ment Of $4,000 per annum for his selv-
ices, when the test case was brought
in the Supreme Court.
The old law entitled the clerks of
the Circuit Court to retain whatever
fees were paid to the office. not to
exceed $4,000, however, per annum. The
new law fixed the salary at $4,000
straight and eliminated the fees for
merry allowed the clerks.
In the case of Ben Masters, the clerk
OF the Cape Girardeau Circuit Court,
it is believed that he will have to re-
fund nearly S1000for every year since
he has drawn an annual salary Of
$4,000. 1t IS estimated that the fees Of
Cape County Circuit Court do not
amount to more than $1,000 every year.

CATHOLIC CHnDRENISCI'
AID BELGIAN FUND RES
Two Cape Parishes Contribute
to Unfortunates in
European War.

A collection is being taken up in the
| Catholic Churches OF the entire coun-
try for the relief of the Belgian chill
dren. The two Cape Girardeau parish
es have contributed their share to the
national fund, which will be forwarded
to Archbishop Glennon in st. Louis
who will send it to the headquarters of
the Belgian Relief Association.
Some time ago Pope Benedict issued
decree, asking the Catholic children
of the United States to contribute to
the support Of their suffering friends
in Belgium, and the document was for
warded to Cardinal Gibbons who COM
municated it to the Catholic clergy of
the United States.
The pastors of all Catholic parishes
were asked TO announce the collection
in their parochial school and request
that each child give 10 cents to the
fund.
According to Rev. Father Thos. ].
Levan, pastor Of the St. Vincent's par
ISL, the collection yielded So in the
convent, which is attended by girls ex-
clusively. He expected to realize APP
proxiIaatcly 50 from the parochial
school which is attended by the boys
only.
Rev. Father Eberhard Pruente, pas
tor Of st. Mary's Church, said last
night that he had forwarded the
amount collected in his school to the
Archbishop in st. Louis. He would
not say what the amount of the col
lection va: This school is attended
by girls and boys.
II is said that the request Of Arch
bishop Glcnnon was freely responded
to in the archdiocese of st. Louis to
which Cape Girardeau belongs. When
the collection was first announced, it
was believed that the Germans or
those of German birth would be op-
posed to the purpose of the collection,
and for that reason Archbishop Glen
non in his message to the priests of
his diocese added a commencing note
to the copy Of the Pope's degree, ask
ing that the purpose for which the
money would be used be considered
and that all national prejudice be set
aside in contributing TO The Belgian
fund.
Owing to the fact that nearly all
with Europe has been
suspended since the break between
Germany and the United States, it is
believed that some difficulty will be OK
perienced in forwarding the money
collected in the United States. 1t is
planned to have one Of the neutral ma
tons, perhaps, Holland or Scandinavia,
act as medium between the United
States and Belgium.
If every child in the parochial
schools of the United States would
contribute the amount expected. con-
siderable sum could be realized. 1t is
believed that several hundred thousand
dollars could be raised in that way.

New York, Jan. 7.-Salvarsan ad-

one of the most advanced and hope

BANK OF THE
LOWER SERETH CONQUERED

Berlin, Jan. (Wireless to Say
ville) The battle for possession OF
the southern bank of the lower Sereth
river, in central Rumania, along a
thirty-mile front, has been decided
in favor of the central powers, after
fierce fighting, writes the military
critic of the Overseas News Agency
who points out that the Teuton troops
took just one month in forcing their
way from Bucharest to Braila, dis
tance of 25 miles. The military
critic adds:
THE Russians were defeated and
lost their fortified field positions after
weeks of preparation on the southern
bank of the Sereth, from where, ac-
cording to repeated announcements in
the entente press, a counter-offensive
was to have been launched On a
front of ten miles, except for some
villages south of Fundeni, the troops
of the central powers reached the
swampy districts and river bed of the
lower Sereth. The booty has not yet
been counted. as battles still are
going on.
Thanks to the splendid combined
operations OF the Danube and Do.
brudja armies which exercised
double pressure from the west and
east against Braila, Rumania's most
important commercial town fell into
the hands of the central powers.
The Danube town of Braila, with
its $1,000 inhabitants and important
and efficient locks. depots and ele-
yators, offers an extraordinarily jim
portant strategical point of support
for the central powers. Danube ships
now may go from the heart of Ger
many as far as Braila. On the other
hand, navigation by the Russians and
Rumanians on the Danube has been
completely stopped.
The extreme eastern point of sup
port of the Russo RumanIan armies
in the Sereth position at Enalez, al
ready is under artillery fire. At Fun
Geni, the center of the Sereth posi-
ton, the troops of the central powers
are victoriously going forward and
the German and Austro- Hungarian
troops are pushing against the ex-
treme western positions of the Sereth
line at Focsani."

Santa Fe, Jan. THAT William
Henry Harrison Llewellyn, of Fort
Selden, Dona Ana county, New Mexico,
late major of cavalry in Roosevelt's
Rough Riders, veteran of the Spanish
American war and also of New Mexico
politics, will be the speaker of the
house of representatives of the third
New Mexico state legislature is about
the surest thing that the future holds
in Santa Fe tonight, so far as the or
ganization of the next legislature is
concerned. There are no longer any
ifs, ands, or butts about it. The major,
in full regimentals, is riding at full
speed down the stretch, with saber
and spurs changing and with all flags
flying.
If there is a Barnes boom 1t Is not
visible to the naked eye. Judge
Barnes came up by automobile this
afternoon, and Frank A. Hubbell, who
has been regarded as his most influ-
entail ally in the speakership race
arrived on the evening train, but so
far there is nothing to show that any
progress has been made toward the
Albuquerque man for speaker. No
body Is working for Barnes and little
is being said about him as a candidate.

Spends Busy Sunday.
On the other hand, all paths have
led today to Room so in the DeVargas
hotel, where Major Llewellyn has his
headquarters, and the major himself
has put in an exceedingly busy Sun
day greeting his friends and receiving
assurances Of their support. Tonight
it is claimed that of the twenty-nine
votes in the republican caucus twenty
three are already assured for Llewel-
lyn, and it is predicted that when the
showdown comes there will be no op-
position to the Dona Ana county man.
During the day Saturday the story
was spread around Santa Fe that the
liquor interests and all those who are
opposed to the submission of prohi-
btion amendment to the people by
this legislature had centered on Judge
Barnes as their candidate for speaker
What foundation there was to this
rumor it is hard to say, for at the
present time there is no sign of an
anti-submission lobby in sight in the
capital city. Nevertheless, the rumor
gained circulation and the Llewellyn
forces were not slow to take advantage
of the impression thus created. The
fact that Major Llewellyn Is an out
spoken advocate of statewide prohi-
bition resulted in a considerable acces-
sion to his strength from the dry ele-
ment of the republican party and
centering upon him for the speaker
ship by prohibition leaders regardless
of party.

the camel drivers mean business, that
they are well organized and that they
