Issuance of Bridge Bonds Proves Key to SOIu-
ton of Money Shortage
Problem.
MUST PRACTICE STRICT ECONOMY"
Finance Committee Tells Council They Must Prune Bills
to the Core in Order to Tide Over Until
Tax Collection Time

the school board had helped to drag
the city into a financial hole" and
that 1t was entitled to some of the
criticism that was coming to the alder
men for the situation.
Lay Over Garage Contract.
After the plea for strictest economy
the aldermen voted to lay over the
proposition for the erection of a NUM-
clpaI garage and for the sale of the
west side fire station to erect another
larger one. Some of the aldermen
insisted that true economy would
prompt the council to continue with
these projects despite the depleted
treasury and definite action was laid
over until another meeting. For the
same reason request introduced by
Alderman Cox for the extension of
water service on the south side
OF the city was not acted upon by
the council.
An interesting development in the
financial situation was made when
Alderman Anderson, insisting that
money could be secured for such pur-
poses as building the garage. volun-
teered to go to Chicago today and
find the money for the committee at a
reasonable rate of interest" He did
not divulge just how he would do this.
but said he would report at the next
meeting of the council The members
OF the finance committee welcomed his
Cooperation and told him that they
would be very glad to have him "fndn
money for other uses as well "if it
could be done"
The debate over the financial oues-
ton gave rise to some rather spirited
and personal remarks by the council
men and charges of "cheap politics"
were made several times during the
evening. Frequently Mayor Joachim
vas forced to use the gavel vigorously
IN. order to restore order and continue
the business Of the council.

New York-The New York custom
house today was under the heaviest
guard in its history. because of the
warning received yesterday that the
Wall street explosion last Thursday
would be followed this afternoon with
the blowing up Of the great government
structure. Although both federal and
local authorities were inclined to re-
gard as hoax the post card received
by Collector Edwards, setting 900
o'clock as the hour for the second ex-
plosion, they took no chances. An
epidemic of Sudden illness" and
visits from out of town relatives"
was particularly noticeable at the cus-
toms house" William ("Big BilI") n.
Edwards, collector of internal revenua
was at work however, and asserted that
200 o'clock would find him at his desk
Although also regarding the post card
warning as joke, he declared that
everything the law allows" has been
done to safeguard the lives of work
ers in the building.

Suggest Relatives
Feed MacSwiney

London - Lord Mayor MacSwiney of
Cork passed very restless night at
Brixton prison, where he entered this
morning, the 4oth day of his hunger
Strike, according to bulletin issued
by the Irish Self Dissemination
League. He had some sleep, but it
was quite ftful, and he was very
weak this morning, the bulletin stated.
When asked the direct question whe-
Their MacSwiney was being fed, a home
office official said this morning:
"Not that we know of, but you must
remember his relatives have free ac-
cess to him" This is the first time
officials have qualified that statement
that as far as the governments doc
tors know, the lord mayor is not re-
ceiving nourishment.

Mrs. Ella Galenkamp, Pat
terson, N. j., to Be Paid
for Husbands Death.
SETTLEMENT Is MADE
Northwestern Ry. Co. to Pay
Widow and Child s3,25O for
Death of Nj. Galenkamp.

Mrs. Ella Galenkamp, Patterson, New
Jersey, is to get unusual alimony from
her husband, the late Marinus A.
Galenkamp. Today in the county court
here Judge Taylor signed an order per-
hitting the settlement of claims
against the North Western Railway
company for the death of Galenkamp
and the money, or at least most of
it, will be turned over to the widow,
whom it is revealed had started an
action for divorce from Galenkamp
some time previous to his meeting a
tragic death in Kenosha on June 37d
Galenkamp was employed by the Dun
nebacke company and with Charles
Fritz he was passenger on a motor
truck which was struck by a North
Western train at the Park street
crossing. Fritz was instantly killed
and Galenkamp died shortly after he
had been removed to the hospital.
Galenkamp died without making a
statement and the facts in regard to
the failure Of his marriage dreams
were revealed in letters received from
the east after his DEATH
Wife Had Asked Divorce.
Attorneys Buckmaster and Hammond
handled the Kenosha end of the case
and when they began to search for the
relatives of Galenkamp they found
that his widow and his daughter,
Frances, are residing at Patterson,
New Jersey. In searching through the
personal effects of Galenkamp, the at
torneys found receipt signed by At
torney John VanderClock of Patterson
which showed that an action for di-
vorce had been begun by Mrs. Galen-
kamp and that the husband had turned
over to the attorney the sum of $3.50
for attorneys fees and for the support
of the daughter.
It was this document which made 1t
possible for the attorneys to locate the
widow and daughter. Negotiations had
already been started by the claim
agents of the North Western road to
make some settlement with the widow
and the attorneys representing her, but
after considerable correspondence the
matter was left in the hands of the
Kenosha attorneys. Under the agree
ment reached with the North Western
company, $3.50 will be paid into the
Kenosha court. Under the order of the
court the attorneys handling the mat
ter will receive twenty-five per cent
of the amount of the settlement and
the remainder will be turned over to
the widow and daughter.
GaIenkamp Kept Secret.
Galenkamp had resided in Kenosha
for some time before he met death
at the grade crossing, but he had kept
his secret in connection with his rela
tions back home in Patterson and the
facts in the case brought out in the
settlement Of the claim came as dis
tinct surprise to the close friends of
the man in Kenosha.
In making the petition for the final
settlement of the claim it was declared
that there was some doubt as to the
liability of the railway company for
the accident and that for this reason
the settlement offered appeared to be
one which should be accepted. So far
the relatives of Charles Fritz, who
met death with Galenkamp, have not
started any action for damages against
the company.
