.COPS.STILL SEEK
ADDITIONAL five
Further Increases, How
ever, Appear To Be
Doubtful

Committees representing the police
men and firemen continued Wednesday
to besiege city commissioners with re-
quests to give them a SIS salary in
crease, instead of the $40 boost placed
in the new budget.
Commission members learned, how
ever, that some of the members of
both departments were satisfied with
the increase agreed on, while others
were holding out for the additional So.
Indications were that the budget would
stand as now drafted, and that no
further increases would be provided
next year.

Then I wheeled my horse and kept
on to the navy yard. where the dis

After doing so, rode to the CEN

within reach Of those dispatches, and
somehow I must get the drop on him
and take him prisoner. So while
sparring for time I said:
zone hundred dollars isn't enough.
It's worth two hundred"
"All right" he answered promptly,
pulling out. a wallet and taking out
four f1fty-dollar bills.

fact, It quickly passed out of my
mind, for almost Immediately a
great deal Of work was given me, and
then a few days later the President
issued an order that I should have
free access to him in his private
Office whenever I thought It neces-
sary.
QEFORE leaving this incident it
should be said that nearly tvs
years afterward I was riding out OF
the White House grounds when
saw standing by the gates a man
who seemed familiar. AS drew
nearer recognized him. not as a
ghost, but as the we'll dressed fellow

Baker. I'm a son of Col. Baker Of the
secret service. I was sent out that
morning a couple Of years ago to track
the Presidents new orderly and see
whether he could be trusted, or whether
he was dishonest enough to accept a
bribe and let me open the dispatches"
Then, Of course. saw the whole
thing in a flash and remembered that
shortly afterward the President began
to trust me with matters outside the
regular duty of dispatch bearer.
Fox example, almost every week, in
good weather. was directed to accom-
pany Mrs. Lincoln and some Of the
children when they went to ride In the
saddle. Frequently Mrs. Halleck went
along, and her boy Harry.
Mrs. Lincoln rode well, and Mrs.
Halleck was a superb horsewoman. We
would go up around Rock Creek or
down by the navy yard. over to Alex
andria, Or in some other direction.
One day Gen. Halleck told the Presi-
dent that Mosby's men had made sew
eral raids and, had captured several Of
f1cers Of the Union Army in a part of
the country where Mrs. Lincoln liked
to ride. and that It was not safe for
her or Mrs. Halleck or their children to
go there. So after that we rode in
different areas.
Not very long after I had taken up
the special duty at the White House a
great engagement occurred-the battle
of Antietam. The National Army had
been consolidated at Washington with
Pope's command, and the whole, under
Mcclellan, moved out to meet and
grapple with Lee and his Confederate
hosts, numbering $1,000.
For a day or two little was heard of
any fighting, but late in the afternoon
Of September 16 Mcclellan threw for
ward Hookers corps and the battle
was on. The Array Of the Potomac
had been defeated in seven days Of
fighting on the line Of the Chicka-
hominy, the Confederates had pre-
pared for an invasion of Maryland,
worsted Pope's army at Cedar NouA-
