Would Abandon Horse Service.

| Commissioner BrownIow advised, as
regards Improvement in the fire de-
partment, that it is far behind other
cities in motorization, and hoped it
| soon would be possible to get rid Of
| all the horses.
| The bill which was submitted by the
| District Commissioners calls for abo-
lition of the positions of engineers
and assistant engineers. This would
affect twenty-seven firemen and their
| twenty-seven assistants. A strong
protest was made to the committee
against this. George Nussbapm and
j. d. Sullivan. who hold the grade of
engineers, said that they had worked
up to this position through long years
of service. To do away with the po-
sition would be an injustice to them
, and would impair the efficiency of the
service. they said
| Capt. Edward O'Connor. president of
I the Firemen's Union. supported this
protest. He also impressed the com
mittee with the justice of Congress
helping the f1remen to pay for their
! uniforms. Summer uniforms have
advanced from SO to s24. winter
uniforms from $3.50 to $3.50 and
rubber boots from $3.50 to $3.50

Senator Sherman, chairman of the

that he would call his committee to-
gether as soon as it is possible to get
quorum. to act on the House bill to in
crease the pay of the policemen of the
District. He and other members Of the

Although a sympathetic hearing was
given on the proposed Increased In

this measure cannot he rushed

The committee is heartily IN favor of
increasing the salary of the District

probable also that when the bill is

Chairman Gould Departs.

Immediately following the hearing
yesterday, Chairman Gould of the
subcommittee was called out of
Washington, and does not expect to
return before October 20 or 81. 1t
happens that the next District day
would be October 21, therefore it
seems improbable that d favorable
report can be made to the full COM
mittee and by the committee to the
House before that date. The next
District day would be November 10,
and members of the District commit
tee do not feel that on or after that
date they could get action by the
House on the fremen's pay bill on
account of the proposed adjournment
of Congress.

Has Data on Living Cost.

Chairman Gould and his subcommit-

mass of direct testimony regarding

when the police pay bill was under
consideration. The hearing Tor the
fremen was shortened by the COM
mittee's statement that this informa-
tion would be applied to the fire.
mems situation and needs, just as it
was to that of the policemen.
Commissioner Brownlow, who had
submitted tentative recommendations
for increases to the iremen urged
at the hearing yesterday that the
fremen should be advanced to the
same pay basis as was provided for
the policemen in the bill that passed
the House last week. He explained
that since the adoption of the two
platoon system all vacancies have
been filed. 1t is now more difficult
to get good men, he said, because
heretofore recruits have been taken
from street railway employees. but
now the street car companies are
paying higher wages than the firemen
receive. He said many firemen are
doing any outside work they can get
to do. and he cannot see how they
can live on their salaries

Says No Danger of Strike.

AS regards the operation of the In
ternational Association of Freight
ers. with which the local firemen are
affiliated, Capt. OConnor seemed to
satisfy the committee that there was
no danger of a strike being called.
The captain said that the f1remen
consider their allegiance first TO the
nation, then as firemen for the Dis
trict of Columbia and their unionism
third.
The Firefighters' Association, he
said, has no strike fund and claims no
authority to call a strike, and none
could be taken without the vote of the
membership. Members of the commit
tee expressed no hostility to such af
filiation.

FORT MADISON
HAS ROAD PLAN
Shows Much Enterprise in Seeking
to Draw Green Bay Trade Away
From Burlington to Lee
County.

Fort Madison is actively moving to
attract the trade of the denizens of
the rich and large Green Bay drain
age district away from Burlington
and keep it in Lee county. Those
people have the habit of going to
Burlington on account of better
road conditions, although they all
live in Lee county and are about the
same distance from Fort Madison as
from Burlington
A good and level road can be
built from Fort Madison into Green
Bay for about 10000. Fort Madison
has conferred with the Burlington
railroad and believes the latter viii
furnish half the money. It is pro
posed that the Lee county .,upervi-
sors and Fort Madison city council
furnish the other half, and a few
thousand dollars TO be raised there
by subscriptions from citizens of the
other county seat.
Ernest Corsepieus, father OF the
project. is having blueprints made
for the Burlington railroad, showing
the proposed read in detail. It is to
be level all the way and parallel the
Burlington tracks.

BIG CHANGE IN
HIS SOLDIER SON
Prominent Police Official Says I'm.
proyement is Due to
Tanlac.

Nearly everybody in Kansas City
either knows or has heard of Captain
J. J. Ennis, who lives at 532 jackson
avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. Cap
tain Ennis has been a member of the
Kansas City Police force for thirty
years and is not only one of the Oldest
in point of service, but one of the most
popular officers in the department.
In a recent statement regarding the
benefits his son, Wilfred, has derived
from the use of Tanlac, Captain Ennis
said:
"The change / have seer take place
in my sons health during the past
few weeks certainly speaks we'll FOR
Tanlac. Wilfred served with Com
pany A 18th Engineers in France for
nearly two years and on returning was
suffering from rheumatism and stom-
ach trouble and was in a very badly
run down condition. He tells me ne
had been suffering from aching joints
in his shoulders, arms and legs for al
most a year. He had no appetite and
his stomach was so weak and upset
that he could not retain much of any
thing he would eat. He complains of
headache most of the time, often had
dizzy spells, and was so weak he could
just barely drag around.
81 had been reading so many state
ments from Kansas City people about
Tanlac that l decided there must be
something to it, and after inquiring
about it of some parties, whom l nave
known for years, at the drug store, l
bought a bottle for Wilfred. Well, he
had not finished the first bottle until
his appetite was better and the pains
in his knees and shoulders were not so
bad. He has taken three bottles up
to this time and can eat and digest
anything he wants. He was very uer-
vous and restless before taking Tanlac
and could not sleep much, but now he
sleeps eight to nine hours every night.
He now has a good position as yard
clerk for the Kansas City Terminal
Railway and is able to walk around
and do his work with ease, as the rheu-
matism pains have left him entirely.
He has recommended Tanlac to several
Of his friends who have used it with
fine results. | consider Tanlac the
best medicine out for such troubles and

anyone who may call to see me or
