CAPITOLPOLICE
PAY WILLDROP
AFTER JULY |
Salaries to Be Less, Ye,
They Must Buy Own
Uniforms.

Unless Congress comes to the i'm
mediate relief Of the Capitol police
force in connectionewith measures to
Increase the pay Of Its members. their
present salaries automatically viii
drift back to Its old status at the
end Of this fiscal year June 30. leav-
ing them In q worse position than
before, according to the statement
last night OF w. NJ. Hairston, one Of
the Capitol guards.
: 80 far the effort to Increase the
wages Of the Capitol police force has
collapsed" said Mr.. Hairston. AFTER
all our efforts to have the matter
looked into deliberately, the proba-
bilities are now that while the cost
Of living is advancing gradually, the
salaries OF the police force at the
Capitol will recede or become less on
the expiration Of the present fiscal
year. -.
"Under those circumstances, police
men now receiving 1856 per month
will drop back to $3.50, and those
getting s7 to $50.
Notwithstanding the salaries re-
ceived today are not sufflcient for
their living. they have been ordered
TO purchase uniforms out Of their
monthly stipend.
Congress would do wen to emulate
the splendid example of Director
General McAdoo in raising the wage
OF some 100000 railroad employees.
The philosophy promulgated by
Director General McAdoo was that no
mans salary would be raised except
where II was necessary to meet his
natural living expenses, and that the
raise would go into the living ex-
penses and not into a surplus.
THE director general reasoned that
man who was getting q salary Of
fS q month two years ago must have
his pay raised about 10 per cent in
order to keep pace with the present
high cost OF living. But Congress
ignored this sound principle Of wage
increase.
Il have been told by Senator Hard
wick. Of Georgia, that it was a me-
farious shame to make these men pay
for their uniforms out Of their measly
salaries. and that they should be paid
for out Of the contingent fund Of the
Senate and House"

No one saw the accident, not even
the injured person. Several passers-
by heard her scream and ran UP to
offer assistance.
George was arrested. He was
charged with wilfully and maliciously
colliding.
There was no evidence to show that
he was guilty of negligence. Neither
did he hive any proof that II was
wholly an accident.
1t was one Of these cases where you
can't just say who Is to blame.
"It Ii indeed unfortunate" remarked
Judge Mullowny. that these things
happen. But I can not make Grim
inal case out of this because there Is
no evidence to show criminal negli-
gence."
George was warned TO Be careful in

Hattie was busy ironing and
wasn't at all inclined to talk. There
was q reason, apparently.
That evening when she finished
work she stumbled across Bill. He
was there waiting for her.

the woman who had got him drunk
once and picked his pocket. He
wasn't absolutely sure, Just reason
ably sure.
Hattie's reluctance to talk con-
WINGED him all the more that he had
hold OF the right woman.
Bill followed her to where she
roomed. Then they sat down in the
parlor. Hattie was very nervous.

insisted that she knew nothing

other fellow.
A little girl with a loaf OF bread
under her arm overhe ard the threats.
She ran back and told Elizabeth Hall,
the girl that Ben referred to, all
about what had been said.
Lizzie got busy. She took of her
Sunday clothes and Put on her work.
ing clothes She gathered half a
dozen bricks together.
She sent for George Hopkins, the
fellow she went to the movies with
instead Of Ben.
George came on a run. He had a
razor, but she took 1t away from him.
Lizzie hid behind a pair of por-
there's. George stood behind the front
door with a club. The bricks were
all ready.
Ben came. He was in an ugly
mood. He pushed the door open vio-
lently.
Down came Georges club over his
head. He bent double and stretched
out on the floor. The club split in
two.
The court wasn't inclined to do very
much with George because Ben made
threats and therefore made himself
liable to an assault.
