MOORE AND CABINET
DISCUSS SALARIES
Pay Budget Of City Will Be In
creased $3,ooo,ooo by Sug-
gested Changes
ALSO DEBATE ON DEFICIT

Recommended changes. affecting sal
aries and titles in the municipal service
and having an important bearing on
preparation of the budget for 1921, +,
were discussed at length today by Mayor
Moore and the department directors.
AT the conference, held in the
Mayors office. were Clinton Rogers
Woodruff, president OF the Civil Scrv-
ice Commission Il. O. Griffcnhagen.
hCsd Of Griffenhagen & Associates,
who made the service survey. and Con-
troller Will B. Hadley.
The report on classification. made
mandatory by the new city charter and
now nearing completion. advises in
creased pay for many city positions.
Decreases are recommended in some
instances. Sweeping changes are pro
vided in the titles of many city posi-
tions. The underlying thought is to
make the title descriptive of the work
performed.
The recommended pay increases would
add about $4,000. 900 to the city's pay
roll next year. Heads of departments
are now making up their departmental
estimates for the city budget
The Mayor and his directors also dis
cussed the estimated deficit of S4 900. =
600 which faces the city for the re-
naming four months of the year.
Included in the classification report is
n recommendation that the salary of the
city entomologist. Herman Hornig.

The miners seem TO be unanimous in

M'SW|NEY PASSES
VERY BAD NIGHT
Complains Of Dizziness and
Numbness-British Cabinet
Refuses to Intervene
REPORT POPE INTERcEDEs
By tho Associated Press

London, Sept. 9.--Lord Mayor Mac
Swiney, of Cork, who is incarcerated in
Brixton prison and has been on hunger
strike since August ~. passed a very
bad night, and complained again this
morning of dizziness. according TO- a
bulletin issued early today by the Irish
Self Determination League. He also
experienced numbness In his legs and
arms and physician who attended him
considered him. much weaker than he
was Yesterday.
After visiting Mayor Macswiney last
evening, the prison doctor told his sister
Annie MacSwiney, that her brother was
in q very grave condition, according TO
a statement issued by the league this
morning, and that there could be only
one end to his continued hunger strike.
'"The doctor asked Miss MacSwiney
IL nothing could be done--if she could
not appeal to the mayor continues the
statement. "She replied she would not
ask her brother to give up the principle
Of his life; that England had no right
to imprison him and that he could not
submit to Englnnd's Imprisonment
without acknowledging her right to de-
prive him Of his liberty.
''The doctor then suggested that the
republican body in Ireland be asked to
order the lord mayor to surrender. and
he, being disciplined man. would obey.
Miss Annie said the republican parlia-
ment in Ireland could no more order
her brother to give up his fight than the
English Government during the late
war could order soldier to throw down
his rife and run away. She said: MY
brother has not rife in his hand. it is
! true, but he has the only weapon he can

also added that some such suggestion
had reached her brothers. ears in some
way and that he had spoken of it to
them, but had said: No such order

II it came l wouldn't obey it, ="
In response to an urgent represen-
tation from ex-Sheriff Barney calling
for the immediate release of the eleven
untried hunger strikers in Cork Jail.
Premier Lloyd George yesterday
sent message declaring that the hun
ger strikers had all been arrested "either
in the act Of murderous attacks on
police or soldiers, or on clear evidence
duplicating them in suck attacks, and
they are engaged in n combined effort to
prevent their trial and have reduced
themselves to physical condition under
which trial is legally impossible.
THE government" continues the
premier, "cannot allow men charged
with such grave offences to escape trial
by their own act. If this were per
mitted there would be an end to any
possibility Of the enforcement of law
and the administration of Justice"

OVATION IN WEST
PLEASES HARDING
Nominee Tells Of Delight at
TumuItuous Reception In
Twin Cities
COMPANIONS ARE ELATED
BY the Associated Press

On Board Senator Harling's Special
Train, Sept. 0.-On his way home from
his first campaign trip. Senator Hard .
ing. the Republican nominee for Presi-
dent, declared himself highly pleased to d.
day with his reception by the people OF
Minnesota, who cheered his speech at
the state fair yesterday on agricultural
issues and greeted him In tumultuous
streets of Minneapolis and st. Paul.
What the result might be on the
future plans of the nominee was not
revealed, but speculation as to the pos
sbility of more extensive departures
from the front porch was enlivened by
expressions of satisfaction from two Of
the principal figures in the management
Of his campaign. Senator Harry 8. New,
Of Indiana, head of the party's speakers
bureau. and Harry M. Daugherty. n
member Of the campaign committee,
both Of whom are in the senator's party.
Senator Harding Pleased
Minnesota and its splendid twin
cities. and the state fair organization.
Senator Harding said in formal state
ment today, seem to have We'd with
each other in providing a strenuous,
enjoyable and completely satisfactory
day for us. I shall not make the mis-
take Of assuming that the great out
pouring Of people and the magnificent
reception given us was merely per-
sonal tribute. It was more than that,
and vastly more significant.
LIT was the testimony that the
people of this great state are completely
in sympathy with the people Of the
country in determination to put America
once more on the main highway of ma
tional progress and then TO go ahead
safely and along right lines.
perhaps the thing that most grati
fes me was the close attention with
which the wonderful audience ut the
fnir grounds listened to a speech that
was intended to present a constructive
program.
'1t was not an appeal for applause,
but plea for thoughtful consideration
Of great national problem. The peo.
pie by their reception proved that they
arc thinking deeply about real things,
and that is all we need to know in or
der to be certain OF the future"
New Highly Delighted
Senator New characterized the day
experiences in the Twin Cities as "a
conspicuous success adding: 81 have
campaigned with every Republican
