vertising for bids for purchases;
thirdly. the appropriation OF s15.O
for the Firemen's Beneficial Asso-
ciation.
The latter association is repre-
sented by Henry r. Isaacs.
"I believe that s5O4,625 is sum
cient to establish a good paid fire de-
partment," declared Chairman Nc
Manus OF the finance committee, at
a meeting OF City Council in com
mittee Of the whole last night. IT
am working to conserve the city's
finances, and I do not intend to ap-
prove OF any needless expenditures" /"
he added
The sum OF s5o4,625 is s142.21s
less than the estimate submitted to
Council last week by the directors
OF Public Safety.
In arriving at his own figure for
the cost OF the department, Chair
man McManus lops off 100000 for
repairs and additions to fire houses,
reduces an item for beds and linens
from $4,000 to $4,000, cuts the fur
niture items from S9,503.O to
$1,000, and eliminates entirely an
Item OF $1,000 for the purchase OF a
horse-drawn piece Of apparatus be-
longing to the Phoenix company.
Mr.. McManus also reduces The es-
timated cost OF organizing the de-
partment from $4,000 to s9250. the
latter sum to include payment OF
$4,000 for services OF former chief
Croker, OF New York, as an expert.
and $3.50 as expenses for a training
school. Expenditure for tools for
the department is slashed from
s3435 to $1,000.
The finance chairman also sub
mitted a tabulated statement show
ing the comparative values of the
volunteer fire houses and apparatus
made by the experts who appraised
them and the amounts which the di.
rectors OF Public Sarery agreed tC
pay for the properties. According tC
these figures the directors agreed tC
pay s24.6OO for equipment IN excess
Of the valuation set by the expert.
and $4,000 more for fire houses
than their appraised value.
With the single exception of the
Weccacoe company's property, fol
which $4,000 was allotted, Mr.. Nc.
Manus declared that in every case
the Safety Deparement agreed to pay
from $1,000 to $4,000 more than the
appraisal value.
The department, he said, mas
agreed to purchase apparatus from
the Reliance, Phoenix, Washington
Weccacoe and Brandywine compan-
les which the appraisers reported as
unsuitable for use. For these pieces
It has been agreed to pay S15, 100.
The figures submitted by Mr.. NC
Manus show that one piece OF ap-
paratus bought from each the Lib
erty. Union and Independence COM

inclined to think that prosperity was
entirely Industrial.
'',rhe old era from which we are
now passing won't go without a pro-
test; it will appeal to the courts.
We must place our courts outside
those influences which have been so
prevalent in the old era by fixing the
salaries of Federal judges at fig
ure that would leave them free to
take all points Of view into consid-
Grafton and decide according to
higher code OF justice.
Il don't think that the sense Of
Justice is very widely spread. 1t is
far from being inherent in every
man. To my mind there are but few
men who have Il. These men are
immensely valuable to the people OF
this country and we should be will
ing to pay them to get them to ex-
ercise their talents for all.
THE salary OF $4,000 per year
for a judge Of the United States Su-
preme Court Is far from being too
high. Salaries for Federal Courts Of
Appeal and District Courts should be
in proportion. No Federal Judge
should receive less than $4,000 per
year. This with a life position. will
leave them secure from the resent
ment Of powerful interests against
whom they might be called upon to
decide.
mo Federal judge should have to
have outside interests upon which
he is partially dependent for sup
port yet. in my mind. no Federal
judge can properly maintain him
self and family as they should be
maintained in his position for a sal
airy OF from $500 to $4,000 a year. +"

10 KILLED in
PARIS TUNNEL
Flames and Gas Prevent
Rescuers From Entering
Subway Inferno
TRAINS PILE UP
UNDER GROUND

PARIS. oct. s.--A rear-end col
iision OF two suburban trains in the
haif-mne tunnel leading to the St
Lazare railroad station last evening
led to terrifying scenes and the
death OF at least 1e persons bound
on their homeward journey from
Paris. The wrecked cars burst into
flames. and the disaster was made
all the more terrible by the explosion
Of a gas reservoir.
Twenty persons are known to have
been seriously injured. and sixty
others were slightly injured. This,
however. gives no idea OF the ex-
tent OF the disaster. because the fire.
men and others engaged in the work
OF rescue have been unable to get
any distance within the tunnel,
owing 10 the gas fumes.
The fire spread with great rapidity.
and for a time cries Of distress and
the means OF the dying were heard
on all sides. but these finally were
silenced. though the cracking OF the
blazing wooden coaches could still be
heard.
The fremen under Colonel Hivert
we're not prepared for the barrage
OF poisonous fumes which assailed
them as they reached the scene. FL
nally they succeeded in playing four
streams on the last coaches at the
st. Lazare end OF the tunnel. but
.hese were empty and not burning,
while seventeen coaches In the CEN
.er Of the tunnel. far away from the
aremen's efforts, burned fiercely. Al
no time could they get closer than
fve hundred feet from the inferno.
Nevertheless, every now and then,
passenger with blackened face
would come struggling out, begging
the helpless firemen. police and SOL
diers to enter the tunnel and save
those dying within.
The minister OF public works, NJ.
Letroquer. who was early on the
scene, helping to direct the rescue
work described II as "a vision OF
HE'LL He announced that the dead
would be buried and the injured re-
ceive medical treatment at the OK
pense OF the state.
The firemen cut a hole through
the roof Of the tunnel through the
pavement of Rue dc Rome. hoping
70 create an upward draft in order
10 allow the smoke and gas to es-
,ape Authorities say that anyone
remaining in the tunnel Is almost
certain to be dead.
The collision occurred when the
$50 train for the suburb. Marty
Le-Roi. crashed into the rear end Of
a train for Versailles, which left four
minutes earlier on the same track
but which stopped inside the tun-
mel. Cries for help and means were
Audible at both ends OF the tunnel.
1T IS feared that those who we're
trapped in the burning wreckage
may never be identified. as they
would surely be burned TO a cinder
In the intense heat, yet unreached
by the fremen, who we're directing
streams Of water from both ends OF
the tunnel.
Later il was learned that the nre
started by explosions OF small il
Illuminating gas tanks In the coaches
Of the teiescoped train. The train
for Versailles had stopped to re-
pair a broken coupling. When the
collision occurred hundreds OF the
injured were able TO escape by run
ming through the dark tunnel along

were called out Immediately TO sur

women were called to serve as Jurors,
the first in the history Of Clermont

idents Of Batavia. There were only
two cases to pass upon and two wit

being that while the men removed
their hats, the women sitting in the
