 EXTRA PAY COMES UP Railway Labor Board Re- ceives Protests of Rail-
 road Clerks Today

Chicago, Jan. 1o.-Extra pay for overtime work and the S-hour day were the principal points sought by railroad clerks in controversies over the rules of the clerks national agree ment which were up for consideration for the l.. s. Railroad Labor Board today. The board expected to cons plete its draft of new rules within two weeks and promulgation of new set of rules to replace the agreement made under federal control is looked for by February 1.
 Eight rules of the old agreement affect the clerks pay and these rules have been the subject of the greatest disagreement in negotiations during the last few months. Like the na- tional agreements of other groups of railroad employees the clerks agree ment was ordered replaced by new rules which the board directed the employees and the carriers to draw up by agreement. The disagreements ruling from such negotiations were re- ferred to the board,
 Forty-four roads submitted dis agreements on Rule 57, calling for time and one half pay after hours work, which the clerks wish con- tinued. Eight roads have agreed with their clerks to pay pro rata time after 8 hours but other carriers are asking no extra pay for the 9th hour, pro rata for the 10th and time and one half only after 10 hours.

Man Kho Dodged Police 7wo Fears, Thinking
 Himself Murderer; Finds Victim Didn't Die
Rounded by Guilty Con- science, He Surrenders as Wife Slayer, Then Learns Happy Truth.

Honolulu, Jan. 10.-After living the life of a fugitive from justice for two years and q half and finally confessing a murder, Frank IT. Gatherell private, II. s. A., learned today that the wife he thought he had slain was seen alive four months after the supposed fatal event, and that there is no charge against him. The shot he thought killed her had missed its mark.
 Gatherell surrendered last Thurs day, declaring he had killed his wife in July 1919, in New York believing she had been faithless while he was absent overseas. He fled, joined the army and later was transferred here. The feeling that he was being pur- sued caused him to surrender A cabegram today from New York said Mrs. Gatherel was seen alive in November 1919.

SWINDLER AT WORK,
 GROCER IS CHEATED
stranger Obtains SS at West Main Street Store Through an Ancient
 Trick This Morning.

A slick stranger worked an old time game at the Miller and Olson store at 446 West Main street this morning, obtaining SS as a result.
 The stranger on entering the place ordered goods to the value of SIP to be delivered at house at 14 Com monwealth avenue and rendering a check for S20 in payment.
 The clerk made the required change giving the man sS, and the latter left the store at once. The thought occurred to the clerk to as certain whether the check, which was made out to Fred John Martin on the Commercial Trust company. was good before delivering the goods. The bank officials notified him to the con- trary.
 It is claimed that the same man has worked the game at places in Plainville recently.

 Stanle,

The board of fire commissioners will probably consummate deal within . few days for the purchase corner of Allen and Stanley streets for the erection of a new nrehouse,
 A resolution was introduced several months ago in the common council ordering the fire board to make such Il purchase and include an item for the new station in next years budget.
 Alderman Angelo M. Paonessa of the sixth ward brought the matter to the attention of Chairman Emil Hjerpe of the fire commission yesterday, and 1t was discussed at last nights meet ing. Since nothing had been done in the matter, it was laid over to the next meeting.
 The board will be supplied today with detailed sketches of a proposed repair house. A sketch, prepared by the engineering department vas sub mitted to the board last night, but in the absence of detail no action was taken. An item 'of $500 for re- pairing the old stone quarry on Stan ley street for use as a drill tower has been included The board will also eXpend, if the finance board approves, s13,000 for a chemical pump and engine.
 Exclusive of repairs and the items enumerated, the budget as it now stands, calls for s133,456.50.
 A special meeting will be held Jan uary 23, to take action on some of the matters which have been laid over.
 Representing the fire pension board, Capt. Michael Butler of Company No. B. stated that some of the men ob- ject to paying per cent. to that fund and he felt that one per cent of wages would be more acceptable. A committee of two commissioners to act with Captain Butler was named, the committee to prepare recom- mendations for the next meeting. Harry S Wetmore, Stephen Sautter and Theodore Wilson were placed on the pension list.
 An increase in the salary of chief engineer from s2,765 to S3,200 was unanimously voted and will be rec commended to the salary committee. Commissioners HJerpe and krano- witz witt appear before the salary committee in support of the recom- mendation. Figures were presented to show that chiefs of smaller depart ments receive as much or more than the amount paid the present chief.

DISTRUST OF BRAND
 GROWING IN FRANCE
Has Torn Up Promises Made to the Senate and
 Chamber, Press Alleges

Paris, Jan. 10 (By Associated Prcss) Attacks on Premier Briand by the French press increase in severity and dstrust of England grows as more is known about the agreements being reached at the supreme council meet ing in Cannes,
 Andre Tardeu writing in former Premier Clemenceau's new organ the Echo National which appears for the first time today, leads off with a dia- tribe captioned "rhe Cannes Retreat NJ. Tardieu says in the article:
 "In four days Briand has aggravat- ed irremediably the situation created during the past year by his policy and has torn up the promises he made in December to the senate and cham ber"
 Premier Briand appears to have few friends in the press. The Figaro echoes the Echo National. The Franco British agreement would not in itself be bad thing, it says adding:
 Far from it; but prestidation and policy ought not to be confused. Very serious difficulties exist between Eng land and France. They can be re- solved, but must not be juggled."
 Even LEclaire says:
 France ardently desires the Brit ish alliance but does not want to con- 1, oc many. xxx When one allies oneself with another one does not first of all ask him to disarm if one is sincere but his force adds to yours The in- tentions of Lloyd George are dsquiet ing since he only consents to unite with an enfeebled France"
