EMPLOYES OF CHICAGO TAKE SALARY SLASH Workers Join Hands When Officials Threaten to Discharge 200. BY MERTON T. AKERS. I'oltfd Prf' Staff CorreiH>ndent CHICAGO, ppb. 3.—More than 1.300 city employes agreed to a 15 per cent slash In salaries today rather than see 200 of their number discharged because of the financial p crisis. The workers. 320 of whom are policemen. are employed by the South Park district. They will be paid on a basis of six days work each week instead of seven. When tuld by Edward J. Kelly, president of the South Park board, and George T. Donoghue, superintendent, that 200 of them would have to be thrown out of work because pay funds were larking, the workers unanimously voted to follow the "one for all and all for one" policy and accept a cut. Loan Forthcoming A $500,000 drop of Income because of reassessment of the district was given as the principal reason for the stringency. Meantime a $0,000,000 straw in the sea of dPbt engufing the city apparently was within reach of the municipal government. That the city fathers would clutch it., was the prediction of Alderman John S. Clark, chairman of the city council finance committee. Clark announced the city government will ask the citizens’ “rescue committee,” headed by Silas H. Strawn for a loan of $6,000,000 on tax anticipation warrants to prevent collapse of fire, police and: health departments. Suburb* Hard Hit This sum, the alderman said, would tide essential departments over until Feb. 15 and stave off imminent disaster. As that ray of hope appeared in the gloom, a chorus of woe rase, from suburbs that have begun to feel the pinch of poverty which has been acute in the city for weeks. Chicago's dismal chronicle, of unpaid policemen, firemen, school teachers and other employes was written in less stupendous terms in a dozen adjacent communities. Clark's announcement indicated the administration had swallowed ita pride and bowed to the citizens committee as the only avenue of escape from chaos.

SIR ESME TO LEAVE British Ambassador to End Long Service in U. S. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. The prohibitionists’ shining example among the diplomatic colony here will say good-by to Washington this month when Sir Esme Howard, Br.t.sh ambassador, ends a period of service which began March 5, 1924. Sir Esme is a shining example, not because he ever indicated belief in prohibition, but because he became so annoyed with constant criticism of liquor privileges enjoyed by diplomats here, he abandoned voluntarily the right to import further alcoholic beverages last May. Prohibition was not the only problem contributing to Sir Esme's cares in Washington. As dean of the corps he was compelled to decide the social rank of Mrs. Edward E. Gann, sister of Vice-President Curtis. Sir Esme said Mrs. Gann would be treated as second lady of the land.

ACID IN STOMACH SOURSTHEFOOD Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Is Cause of Indigestion. A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity—acid stomach —and not, as most folks believe. from a lack of digestive juices. He states that an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermentation; then our meals sour, forming acrid fluids and gases, which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavj T , lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, while it is effervescing, and furthermore, to continue this for one week. While relief often follows the first dose, it 1s important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of stomach sufferers with excellent reults. —Advertisement.

NEW EVIDENCE TO BE AIRED IN PAYPROBE Grand Jury to Reopen Quiz in Reporters’ Salary Order Muddle. Holding new data which it is said may involve two or more county officials for alleged destruction of a county record. Prosecutor Judson L. Stark today prepared to lay the facts before the grand j jury Tuesday when the probe will be resumed. The jury is investigating charges made by eight county judges that j a record providing a S6OO yearly | salary increase for court reporters has disappeared from the custody of County Auditor Harry Dunn. Probe started last week when four jurists testified. Other judges will appear Tuesday, and two others may be recalled. Stark today located new facts in 1 which County Attorney Clinton H. | Givan, an official around whom the probe centers, figured in a previous suit over court reporters’ pay. Givan, according to evidence submitted last summer in a trial in superior court four, made an agreed statement of facts regarding reporters’ salanes. The suit was brought by civil municipal court reporters mandating Dunn to pay them a $3,000 yearly salary, in conformity with the pay scale of superior and circuit court reporters. Givan's agreement, given in evidence, has been obtained by Stark for submission to the jury. Retaliating to the judges’ accusations, Dunn, Givan and county commissioners have issued a public statement. Their expression, contained in a letter to Criminal Judge James A. Collins and Stark, declares the blame to be “erroneous.”
