The package can- rot be divided among six so will be kept unopened and will be auctioncd off again next week.

designations May Follow Failure
 to Increase Salaries

Several resignations are expected in the event that salary increases are not passed out generously among city employees this year. statements made to the salary committee of the common council Monday evening during the course of hearings on this matter indicated.
 Chairman Frank l.. conlon of the board of public works told the conn mittee Sheffield Clark, a draftsman in the city's employe must receive $500 increase or he will accept an- other position being held open for him. Clarke has been in the city's employ for a number of years and is regarded as one of the public works departments most efficient workmen.
 Dr. c. R. Witte, meat inspector, is working under an agreement with the health department that unless he is granted an increase from $1,S5O to s2,5OO his services shall I terminate with the close of the present fiscal year. Dr. R. w. Pull len, superintendent of the depart- ment, is anxious to have this in- crease granted as the inspector Is one of the few men in the state available for the position by reason of his professional qualifications. and he fears the city will not be able to fill the place at the price asked should he leave.
 Chairman w. L. Hatch of the water board advised the committee that the stenographer in his depart ment has an offer of more money elsewhere than is paid her by the city, and the health board reports First Sanitary Inspector John A. Dolan has an offer open to him whereby he can increase his weekly stipend by 80.
 Chairman l. ,Wexler of the build- ing commission said he feared the city would lose the services of an efficient electrical inspector if he is not granted an increase sought. He made it clear, as did the heads of other departments, that this was not an ultimatum on the part of the inspector. but clear cut business proposition since his trade will bring him far better pay should he drop his official duties.

Mrs. Scott will leave soon for Washington to take addi- tional dispositions. permission for such action having been given ycs- terday by Judge Frank Limerick when he adjourned the Nsuit until March 10.
 l Mir. Scott today charged that his wife had tried to ruin him and his career. "She has tried in every way to bring our affairs before the public" he said. "She refused set tlement after settlement because l | would not give her s15,000, l did not have the money, CT l would have paid it."
 Mrs. Scott told of her friendships in Washington.

 T tried in every way to entertain and have people there. MT. Scott did not mix as well as thought he should and there were certain per- sons I thought he should meet so- cially. I tried in every way 10 help him. I did not want this to come out. This blackens my reputation, it ruins me even more than it does him. I am more of the victim but I cannot let MT.

REPRESENTATION . INLAW, SAYS GARY
Tendency Toward LaHlsssnsss Due to Non-Recognltion Of This

New York. Jan. 7.--The present tendency towards lawlessness is directly attributable to the weil-in. tentioned enforts Of persons who seek 10 discriminate between laws that should be obeyed and those that should not, Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, stated last night in an address at a dinner Of the citizens committee Of one thousand for law enforcement. A first-hand report of the meeting will be given to Presl- dent Coolidge at White House breakfast tomorrow at which com mittee headed by Mir. Gary will be present.
 MT. Gary's shafts were aimed spe- officially at the violator of the Vol Aead act. The failure of the indi- Sidual to obey the prohibition laws, : said, was responsible for the vio-
 .tion of other fundamental laws of he land and of society.
 If we are directly or indirectly guilty of violating any of the punl- tive laws. why may not our neigh Dor violate another, and so on until the influence reaches down to a Loeb, a Leopold or a Hight?." the speaker asked.
 One of the reasons, probably the principal reason why crime is so prevalent at the present time is found in the fact that large numbers of well-intentioned persons seek to dis criminate between laws when con- sidering the observance or enforce ment of laws. This thought should t not, cannot be brushed aside. It is vital" ,t..
 Mayor Dever, of Chicago, support , cd MT. Gary in his appeal for a ria- tion-wde observance of law, includ- ing the prohibition laws. He es- pecially scored the public official who violates his oath of office by failure to observe and enforce the law any law of the land-
 "As q citizen it is his right 10 question the wisdom oftthe law. As a public official it is his duty to en- force it. Law must be enforced solely because it is law, and the public official who violates his duty in this respect Is plainly a traitor to his country" Mayor Deyer said.
