O'BR|EN MAY QUIT
EMPLOY OF CITY
Superintendent Of Sewer Depart
meDt Considering Private Venture

The board of public works and the
salaries revision committee are now
at odds over the salary recommended
for Michael P. O'Brien, superintend-
ent of sewers, and unless the salary
committee or the council sees fit to
increase the salary Of the incumben
as asked by the board of public works
it is said that the city may possibly
lose the services Of this most efficient
employe. 1t is said that Mr.. O'Brien
has been approached with a proposi-
ton to leave the city employ and
take over the sewer contracting bus
mess or the late A. A. Lyman, which
is an established business. Friends of
Mr.. O'Brien claim that with his skill
as a sewer builder he would be able
to make this business even more sue
cessful than it has been in the past.
1t is also said that Mr.. O'Brien is seri-
ously considering accepting the offer
unless the city comes forth with an
increase in salary.
The board Of public works claims
that the salary committee acted
through a misunderstanding when it
board claims that as q matter of fact
Mr.. O'Brien is at present earning ST.
500 from the city, instead of ST. 400 as
the salary committee thought, so the
vote of the last named committee to
increase him to 81, 500 was in reality
no increase at all. The board of pub
lie works has asked that his salary be
increased 500, making it 1900, but
through the misunderstanding this let
ter was placed on file and the commit
tee decided to take no action, assum-
ing that they had already increased
him from 400 to $500. This mat
ter may be given consideration at the
next meeting of the salaries revision
committee.
Although nothing official can be

monty limited throughout City hall to-
! day that the salary committee may

gotham IN FEAR
OF ZEPPELIN BOMBS
Did Not Know Giant AirShip Flew
Stars and Stripes

New York, Jan. 31.-The huge
Manhattan and the bay late yester-
day afternoon was not a German
Zeppelin, as many in the thousands
who saw it were inclined to believe.
1t was what has been called the
american Zeppelin" for want Of a
better name. and is the most ambi-
United States army.
Residents of the southeastern part
of Brooklyn saw more than did the
residents of Manhattan. They saw
two soldiers drop out of the dirigi-
Bile when it was more than 5000
feet up, and they saw them reach
the ground safely.
The american Zeppelin" started
from the new Notifications on the
Rockaway peninsula, primarily to
test the craft, and secondarily to ex-
pertinent with dropping men with
parachutes. The dirigible, which is
more than 200 feet long, was pro-
PEELED by powerful motors and car
ried eight men when it left Rock
away.
Travelling eastward first, it ascend
cd until it attained a height of at
least 5000 feet, then circled and
started back, across Jamaica Bay and
Brooklyn, until it reached Flatbush.
There the aircraft turned slightly
northward and continued until it
crossed the East River above the
Williamsburg bridge.
By that time the excitement was
very high through a wide area of
the city. The dirigib1e was so high
that the American flag it displayed
was not discernible to the unaided
eye, and the belief persisted that
German Zeppelin had crossed the
ocean. Even in some quarters there
was fear of an aerial bombardme nt.
The dirigible turned southwark
over Manhattan. and the homeward
bound residents of Brooklyn who
happened to be hurrying through
Park Row, Nassau street and Broad
way obtained an excellent view.
Over Governors Island the big dir
igible seemed to stop and then turn
it's nose eastward and start down. A
Staten Island ferryboat, carrying
several hundred soldiers and seamen,
with many officers, was passing the
Statue of Liberty when the passen-
gers sighted the dirigible. There was
a scene of great excitement on board
as the passengers pressed toward
the bow, the men of the service wav-
inc their hat and shouting :-"Oh,
YOU Zeppelin!" They seemed to
know it was an American craft and
we're juhilant over its appearance.
One of the soldiers was dropped
ont Of the dirigible in the Flatlands
section of Brooklyn. 1t was said he
landed safely in an open field. with
his parachute spread wide. The sec
ond man was dropped out on the re-
+,,rn trim and near where the first
man landed He also made a sue

SERIOUS sTABBING AFFRAY
IN MERIDIAN SATURDAY.

John Maymes, who stabbed Clar-
enee Bailey, the proprietor of the
Meridian secondhand store, Satur-
day afternoon, is out on bond of
800, and 1t Is rumored that the man
viii not be prosecuted on account of
the favorable condition of the injur-
ed man and the further fact that the
one who did the stabbing was no
more the aggressor in starting the
quarrel than the other.
The alteration was over about two
bits worth of sacks, and the quarrel
seemed to start over the right OF
Maymes to bargain for the sacks OF
one OF Bailey's customers, and In
Bailey's place OF business.
Anyhow, in the scrap, Bailey re-
ceived cruel cut from a knife in
the hands of Maymes, the cut going
for two inches into the left side OF
the man, and entering the lung. The
man was hurried to the doctors office
and the wound dressed. Bailey was
on the street Wednesday, and if care
is taken there will be no serius re-
suits from the wound.
