All this was because Patsy had told the Captain she had had dream the night before in which she had found by her bed a nice package there. So the Captain supplied the package, pink ribbon and all

 Mrs. Jazwinski had trouble in getting to this country, because she was listed under the Russian quota, which was filled many months before she filed application. It was through Joseph Kloskowski of this city, who after exchanging many letters with the state department, finally con- vinced the authorities that Mrs. Jag winski belonged to the Polish quota, that she got her visa from the American consul in Warsaw.
 Mrs. Jazwinski arrived in New York on the George Washington of the United States lines, Sunday and was met by two sons. The party entrained for New Britain yesterday morning arriving in New Britain just a few hours before the wedding ceremony at Sacred Heart church. Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski officiated.

Washington, Jan. 31 Rl-Fears that another disaster like that of the submarine S-4 had oyertake en the navy were dispelled today with the news that the S-3 was safe in Florida waters and proceeding to- ward Cuba.
 Missing since sundown last Satur- day, the S-S. sister of the S-4, was found last night at 8 o'clock. Her position given In 8 message 10 the navy department by Rear Admiral Frank II. Brumby. commanding the contro! force of which the submarine was a part, the message added that the S-3 was proceeding under her own power to Guantanamo, Cuba. her destination but gave no other details.
 When she disappeared last Satur- day the S-3 and her convoy were 100 miles south of Cape Hatteras. The submarine passed from sight of her sister ships during storm and until fast night no word was receiv- cd from her.
 While deeply concerned over the ships disappearance. the navy de- partment declined to entertain grave tears unti! the ship should be re- ported overdue at her destination ill Cuba tomorrow night. Although details are lacking. the message of the S-3's safety appeared to bear out the belief of officers here that she had suffered damage 10 her ra- dio and although unable to report her position was proceeding south on her own course.
 Commanded by Lieut.. r. w. War ren. of Springfield, H.. the s-3 is one of eight submarines which witt, the tender Camden and the airplane carrier Saratoga make up the con- trol force. The force is en route to Cuba for winter maneuvers.
 First word of the submersible' $ disappearance was announced at the navy department yesterday morn ing. The announcement added that the other ships of the convoy were making a search and shortly after ward the navy ordered three cruis- CTS and a destroyer squadron from Cuban waters 70 assist them.
 The message from Brumhy reach cd the navy department communica- ,ions office at o'clock this morning. There was no explanation of the lapse of time between the finding of the S-3 at 8 o'clock and the re- ceipt of the message here.
 Two condolences attach 10 the story of the S-3. Her commander, Lieut.. Warren. once commanded the S-4, now lying on tEe sea bottom off Provincetown, Mass. while Ad- miral Brumby was in charge of the S-4 rescue operations until detached to assume command of the control force.

 CITY WAGE ROSTER Salary Committee Report Nay
 Be Disputed by Council MEMBERS NOT IN HARMONY
Payment Of 4s5 to Superintendent of Streets Comes as Surprise- Listing Of City Employes Cause Of Lengthy Discussion.

Forty-nine city positions will be transferred to the control of the common council 50 far as the pay ment Of the incumbents is concern ed. if the council adopts the recom- mendations prepared by the salary committee at . meeting last night. Inasmuch as the committee itself was far from unanimous in its deci- sions. opposition may develop on the floor of the council, it was said to- day.
 kearncy's Salary Questioned
 The committee voted. on motion of Councilman Larson, to recom- mend 10 the council that the board of public works be requested to sub init report at the March meeting, in explanation of the reasons for paying Street Superintendent Rear ney SIS per week when the salary list last published, so far as the committee knows. contains an item of 5000 as the salary of the posi- tion. It was Councilman Larson's contention that the position should pay the amount fixed by the com mon council and he could not re- call the council having voted . $75 weekly salary. Regardless whether or not the incumbent Is worth the salary he receives. the procedure ap- peared irregular. Councilman Larson said, and he believed the council members should have full informa- ton. Councilman Gibney agreed with him.
 Chairman R. F. Towerp of the board of public works and Acting City Engineer P. A. Merriam an- swered questions concerning the of- fees in the department of public works. and Chairman w. L. Hatch of the board of water commissioners did likewise for his department. after which the committee went in- to session and threshed out the bus iness before the meeting for more than an hour.
 During the discussion, Council- man w. s. Warner declared that the movement to include engineers of the water department and the pub lie works department on the salary list was ''nonsensical," and charged that the committee members were voting on matters they knew noth- ing about. He considered it poor business to transfer the positions. because the members of the boards employing the engineers were better qualified to fix compensation for the positions than were council mem bers, who knew nothing whatever about the duties and responsibilities of engineering forces.
 Water Department Transfers It was voted unanimously to rec ommend that the following en- ployes of the water department be transferred to the salary list: Sophie Zoch, stenographer: Margaret Cor man, Bookkeeper: Donald Mackay, mechanic: W. C. Owen. caretaker at Wolcott reservoir; Joseph Paradise and Walter Lawrence. caretakers at reservoirs.
