BOARD FAILS TOOK. POLICE WAGE RAISE
But Approves Increases for Off-
 CerS in the Department

Al the special meeting of the board Of police commissioners held last night to act on the wage increase asked by the patrolmen of the police department, it was voted to recom- mend to the common council that the patroImen be given an allowance Of s65 a year for uniforms and that the wages remain the same. Although the board members do not favor the 10 per cent increase asked for by the policemen. mention of the increase will be made at the council meeting.
 Chairman David l.. Dunn said that he had thoroughly looked into the matter of granting an increase to the patrolmen and it appeared to him that many were against and other for such an increase. Commissioner Thomas r. Jackson said that the New Britain men were well paid consid- ering the wages received by the po- lice in other towns and cities about the state. He said, however, that there was a difference in the salaries paid to the ranking officers.
 Increases For Officers
 The commissioners then discussed and acted upon increases for these officers. On motion of Commissioner Edwin A. Parker it was voted that the salary of Chief William C. Hart be increased from s2.760 to s3.500 year. The chief then spoke for i'm creases for other officers. On mo- tion of Commissioner Lange it was voted to recommend to increase the salary of Captain George Kelly from sa,465 to s5,000. The salary Of Lieutenant Samuel Bamforth was recommended at s2.700 from s2,315 by motion Of Commissioner Jackson. on motion of Commissioner Parker if was voted to recommend increases for the s'rgeants from $2,16J to E. 500.
 Statistics show that Chief Hart IS the lowest paid chief in the state. The same applies to the captain with the exception Of Meriden, New Lon don and Springfield. Mass. The lieu tenant here is paid in excess of that in Meriden, New London, Stamford and Springfield, The salaries Of sergeants in New Britain are in excess of those in Hartford, Meridcn, New London. Stamford and Springfield, while the same statistics show that the ser geantS in New Haven. Bridgeport Waterbury are paid slightly more than those in New Britain. The recom- mendations of the board for increases amounts 10 sS,665
 Commissioner Jackson stated that in his opinion the officer in charge of the detective bureau should have a rating ot al least a lieutenant. No action was taken in this matter as the meeting was called to act on the in- creases primarily, but Commissioner Jackson said today that this matter will again be brought before the board for discussion.
 Preceding the discussion Of the wage question Chairman Dunn stated that there is need for another en- trance into the cell room. At pres ent there is only one entrance and in case Of fire this might prove dis astrous if there were any prisoners in the cells. Chief Hart suggested that n door be built leading into the yard. The board instructed Chief Hart te get information about doors and an estimate of the cost Of doing stbe work.

HEAVY INDEMNITY
WILL BE RESISTED
BY CHINESE HEADS
Said If Too Much Is Asked
Bandits Will Move Capital
From Pekin
BY RAY v. MARSHALL
Heased Wire to The Age-Herald)


PEKIN, June o3.-The Chinese gov
eminent has begun to hedge on pay
ment of indemnity for the foreign
ers who were held captive by Shan
tung bandits.
When informed that the foreign
powers were planning heavy de-
mands, including control of railroads
and finances, TO insure protection OF
their nationals in China, one re-
sponsible government official said
that the bandits, though weak, would
not hesitate to move the capitol from
Pekin should the demands be un-
duly severe.
This official declared the cabinet
did not expect America to Join the
governments demanding indemnity.
The ministry of communications Is
belatedly trying to forestall burden
some demands by promul eating meas
ures to protect the lives Of trav
elers on principal railroads. Armored
cars carrying machine gun squads
are attached to expresses and the
soldiers patrol the trains and precede
them through the bandit areas.
1t Is authoritatively reported that
the foreign legations dispatched their
recommendations regarding the whole
situation to their home capitals on
