APPROVED FIRE CLASSES

City Council Provides $1800 to Pay Salaries of ‘Merit Board.

Following passage last night by the Oity Council of an ordinance providing $1800 to pay salaries of merit board members in charge of police and fire schools, a list of 40 applicants for the fire school were submitted by Mayor Kern and approved by the Board of Safety today. The approval of funds for merit board members came after the council heard W. Roland Allen, of the new merit board, refute charges of partisanship. A previous ordinance providing only $450 for the schools was rejected by Mayor Kern. Edward P. Fillion, Safety Board member, suggested that the age limit, which—new stands at 35, be lowered. He said he beligved that an eligible list from each political party should be established and the age limit lowered to 30. In this way the system would be more efficient, he said.

List of Candidates

The candidates are: Herbert Marsh, Lawrence W. Patterson, John M. Carson, Thomas L. Worthington, George W. Gressel, Maurice G. Hodges, Russel sley, Fred W. Brown, Garland F. Burris, Alfred H. Stumm, Leo J. Lindauer, Caroll W. Friddle, Harry F. Gieztendanner, Caril T. Close, James H. Bruce, F. Howard Lanham, Erwin Kistner, Perry M. Miller, Harry H. Oshmore, Arthur Field Jr., John V.

anapolis Railways’ prokless trolley franchise, picketing prdinance repealer and salary increases for police and firemen remained in committee.

Meets Charge of Politics

Mr. Alle , who spoke at the invitation of the council, said he knew nothing of the charges of partisanship in the schools, as mentioned by Tn Edward R. Kealing

and J. A humacher. “We have never discussed the politics of any candidate in these schools,” Mr. Allen said. “Their identity is concealed in numbers on our rating cards until the final compilation. It) would be too late then to fix -anything. “Our rating system has been devised after | consulations with research departments of both Indiana and Purdue Universities and with Chiefs Morrissey and Kennedy. “We know tem. It has sion, but i direction. possible to | civil servic apolis.” |

Women| Voters Interested

Mrs. Warren K. Mannon, president of the League of Women Voters, said Mr. Alleln had explained the situation fully. The league, she said after the meeting, had fought for the merit system many years and was interested only in Seeing it work out properly. Other ordinances passed last night provided bus zones at the Stubbins Hotel, taxi stands at the Warren Hotel and transfer of a $600 fund to the Board of Health. Charles Stewart led a delegation of Minnesota-st residents who protested routing trackless trolleys on the narrow sections of Minnesota and Lincoln-sts.

Agree to Consider Change

The Coun¢il voted to consider suggestions to use feeder busses, reroute cars ard study other possible 1outes. | Traffic dangers to school children were cited by Councilman Adolph Fritz, and City Engineer Henry B. Steeg, mentioned government loans to the company, as factors in deciding the route. The delegation pointed out possible depreciation of property values if cars continue to run as now routed. The picketing measure, providing for repeal of sections including penalties for violations, was first introduced April 6. The bill to restore police and firemen’s salaries was brought before the group April 20, while the street railway franchise measure was introduced June 1. They are to be held in committee for further consideration. | A proposed ordinance was brought before the Council asking appropriation of $125, 000 for the Board of Health to pay expenses from Aug. 1 until Nov. 12.

For years she has sold matches outside the Gaiety Theater, where once she was -a featured performer, ' She was reputed to, have been the daughter of an American Army colonel, the granddaughter of a commodore in the Navy and the sister of a former Governor of Puerto Rico. She was married three times and inherited and spent three fortunes. At one time, she was reputed to have lost $125,000 in gambling at Monte Carlo.

LD KATE” sold matches in the Strand within sight of the theaters where she once played leading roles. “I was 20, and, they said, a Washington beauty ,when I left home to take to the theater,” said Miss Foote, giving her life -story to an interviewer recently. “My father, the colonel, said ‘No,” but I left for Paris and the comedie Francaise. Monsieur Dupont Vernon taught me to be an actress. I-came to London. I was fortunate and rose rapidly. I was leading lady, and they used to wait with bouquets for me when I took my cab at the old Strand and the Adelphi. “I was Wilson Barrett's leading lady for three years. We toured Australia and India. I married an Australian army captain. He died, and later I marriea the nephew of the then Lord Myor of London.

All vanished—friends, relatives, wealth, youth. “Only my brother—an American Governor, sweltering in the tropics. He knows only that his sister lives in London. “So five years ago I began to sell my matches. Penny a box, as you see.

TRAP TO CATCH BLAKE SUSPECT

By United Press CHICAGO, July 7.—~Moon-faced

| Edward Preed lounged in a jail cell

today while police debated whether they should use him as “bait” to attract his elusive wife whom they suspect of firing the bullet that

killed beautiful Annabelle Blake. Only a family conference between Preed and his wife, Carmelia, stood between police and the conclusive piecing-together of the remnants of another of the eternal love “triangles” which they believed led to Annabelle’s murder. .'The United Press learned Mrs. Freed told friends she would surrender today. But unless she does, Freed will be released, it appeared. Freed’s attorney, said he would ask for a writ of habeas corpus to obtain Freed’s release. Police indicated a writ might not be necessary, that they will release Freed voluntarily to permit him to confer with his wife. ‘The search for Mrs. Freed, concentrated in Chicago's gang dens, wilted after Freed’s surrender yesterday. Reporters who found her said she insisted on seeing her husband before she gave up.

New Shooting -Fearzd

- Officers believed that the “conference” might be the quickest solution. At first they feared Mrs. Freed, whom they suspected of shooting Annabelle, might shoot the husband, too, if she saw him. Freed’s insistence on seeing his wife, however, seemed 10 dispel that fear, Freed, partner with a former Capone gangster in ownership of the “Nut House” night spot, appeared calm and comfortable as officers sent him to his cell for the night. . He denied he was the “Eddie” whose’ love affair was told in the victim's three dairies. Freed's first wife, Anna Koletske, asked to be placed in technical

| custody so she could assist in solu-

tion of the murder. She had accused Freed of bigamy. but Freed said he obtained a divorce from her a short time before he married Carmelia. A police matron spent the igh; with Mrs. Koleske in her otel.
