FEW REQUESTS FOR SALARY INCREASES Police and Fire Depts. Have
 Taken No Action Yet COMMITTEE IS WAITING
Members of Common Council VIII Hold Series of Meetings To Con- sider Merits of Anticipated Pay Boost Requests

No action has yet been taken by the police and fire departments as to whether increased wages will be sought this year. and heads of de- partments housed in city hall de- clared today no petitions have been placed in their hands for presenta- ton to the common council and the salary committee.
 Excepting In case of emergency, no request for salary increases will be considered by the city govern ment unless application is made during the month of December. This policy Is in harmony with charter provision. Adjustment of salaries at the January meeting of the common council makes it pos sible to place the proper salary items in the budget.
 An increase was granted last year In the wages of police and fire de- partment employees but no allow ance for clothing was granted. It is understood the latter request will again be offered this year while sen- timent for another increase in wages is not reported to be so great.
 Data has been gathered by the police officers relative to salaries and clothing allowances in other cities. and this will be offered when the policemen's committee is given hearing before the salary com mittee. povided it is decided to again petition for higher wages and clothing allowance.
 Adjustment of a majority of the municipal salaries was made last year after a series of hearings be" fore the committee in charge, and they were approved by the com. mon council.
 Municipal boards at their Decem- Der meetings, many of which occur next week, will receive and act on the applications of their employees for pay boosts.

 sommerville. N. J.. Dec. 3 How can the defense be so unfair, so cruel in presenting its case to the Jury? Mir. McCarter today pointed the finger of suspicion at my father. He said it was peculiar that Dad didn't call up the hospital and the police when mother was missing. That might make an impression on the jurors because they don't know my Dad and understand him as I do. When mother failed to come home he was simply bewildered. He didn't know what to do and there was evidently some thought in his mind that she and pr. Hall might have gone away together but its hard to know what to do in cir cum stances like that. and father Is such a simple soul. know I wasn't greatly worried about mother. l just took it for granted that she was all right wherever she was
 Then it was taking an unfair ad vantage for MT. McCarter to say that dad sold mothers love letter, 1 for $500. l have explained that be- fore, how a woman posing as a lawyer, tricked me out of the let ters and sold them to newspaper. She offered me money after they had been published but I would not take it. But poor dad was so over burdened by debt after mothers funeral that he took the check. IL was too late to do anything then, the letters were already in the paper and $500 means a lot to a poor man with such heavy expenses but I resent the statement that my mothers dear letters were sold.
 My heart beats frantically as ] think that in q few hours now the jury will file through the little courtroom door to give its verdict What will it be? I wonder.
 Taking into account all tho things l have heard In the last few days I am sure that Mrs. Hall and her two brothers will not be found guilty of killing my mother. On the other hand, I am not sure that they will be acquitted either. Surely all of those 12 men can't be absolute ly convinced that the defendants had nothing to do with my mothers death. Surely two or three of them must realize the importance of Sem ator Simpsons rebuttal testimony in which the defense case was greatly damaged. I would not be al all surprised to see a disagreement It seems to me the jury would be forced to disagree in order to stave off reports of prejudice in favor oi the defense. If most of them feel doubtful I can easily see how they might like to turn in a verdict oi disagreement and shift the re- sponsibility of a real decision te another jury.
 My mind is torn with a thousand fears and doubts. I really don't know whether I would prefer 2 disagreement or acquittal. It seem. that I just could not go through with another trial. I don't want tt injure my health permanently an6 no one can ever know the terrible strain I have been under since thi: thing started, and before that fol four long years.

Autoists Are Rescued

Tonopah, New, Dec. 2 P)1Two score or more of California bound tourists who were trapped in a bliz- gard at Montgomery Pass. In the high Sierras near here, are alive to- day only because of the heroic ef- forts of two old-time mushers, who effected their rescue when death seemed imminent because of cold and starvation.
 The motor caravan, on It's way to balmy southern California to spend the winter far away from snow and cold, was caught in the Pass in one of the worst storms in years. There were 31 automobiles in the group.
 For two days the hapless motor ists remained snowbound in the Pass, without food. blue with cold, and even burning trunks and other personal effects in futile effort to escape the freezing temperature.
 Veterans To Rescue
 Meanwhile, Dan Haskin and Bill Harrington. veteran figures of the west, were pushing through with the motor stage to Bishop, Nev., unaware of the beleaguered tourists ahead. Even though the snow was ten feet deep in places, getting the stage through was part of the days work with them. and they were accomplishing the job when they came upon 22 of the stranded cars. Nine other machines almost covered with snow were encounter ed a short distance farther on.
 Well Treated
 "What did we do with them?" Hasllin repeated when sought for an interview. Well first we broke trail for them on to Benton, where Warren Davis, who runs a resort there, filled 'em up with turkey and trimmings.
 And then we led 'em to the Hot Springs there, and helped 'em to get into the natural Turkish bath to thaw out-and that was all there was to it.''
 Tragedy of Olden Days
 The incident recalls the story of the Donner party. whose fate was one of the outstanding tragedies Of the old west. This party was trap ped at the eastern base of Sierra Pass, 200 miles north of Montgom- cry Pass. They were snowbound for six months, during which time 42 Of the band of SS perished.

Relatiuify Still Holds

In spite of all attacks, the theory
of relatively is still on firm founda
ton, according to DR.. Charles e. st.
John of the Mount Wilson observatory.
All the tests of the theory suggested
by Einstein, and several he did not
think of, have supported the theory
when put to trial.
One of the crucial tests of RELATIVELY
consists in measuring the spectrum
shift. If light has mass, as the Elm
stein theory postulates, it is subject to
gravitational attraction. Therefore,
the sun would tend. at least slightly.
to pull back it's light, even at the mo-
ment it sends 1t out. This would lead
to the displacement of the spectrum
Of that source of light as compared
with the spectrum of a source OF
light having little gravitational at
traction, like an arc light here ON
earth. Doctor st. John made this test
with delicate instruments and found
the predicted shift.
