SALARY

DOOST IS FOUGHT i. . . Fattened Pay Envelopes for : County Commissioners - Stirs the Senate.

WILL GIVECIRCUS Local Printers Plan an Indoor Event.

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Jan. 27. The first fight In the senate tbat bas marked the present session took place Thurs

day afternoon when Fleming's bill to Increase the salaries of tbe county , Commissioners of Allen county was called up for third reading and passage. Before It had proceeded far ' amendments were tacked on raising the salaries of the county commissioners of Marlon, I.ake, St. Joseph and Vigo counties. There was an Instant disappearance of party lines and after an Intense fight the bill failed of passage because It did not receive the constitutional majority of the senate, which Is 2(1. The final vote stood 23 for to 24 against, with Senator Lambert absent. The bill was not defeated, so it has an opportunity of being called up again, and its promoters are confident of passing It. Senator Gavlt Introduced one of the amendments and Senator Higglns, another and they mustered back of them aeveral Republicans who supported the bill. Upon the Democratic aide the fight against It was made by Stotsenberg. Carleton, Shlveley, Harlan. Curtis. Hauck. Traylor, Yarllng, Trautman, Powers, Park, Long, Lamont, Jackson, Grubc. Oers and Farlow. Fleming secured tbe support of such Republicans as Durre, Gavlt, Crumpackcr, lllbberd, lllgglns, Hunt, Jenkins, Kane, Klmmel, Moore and Wood. Carleton Fights Bill. Senator Carleton led the floor, fight against the bill by introducing an

amendment providing the raise should

not affect men now In office, which was lost. i "Every commissioner In this state knew what his salary would be when he went ont to get tho office," said Carleton In tbe leading speech, as he touched off the fire-works In the Insurgent wing. "We are pledged to economy, yet there la every Indication that this Is only the beginning of salary grabbing. One or my frlenda has told me that there are already enough bills of this nature proposed to lift $25,000,000 out or the treasuries of tho state and gratuitously shower it upon office holders. It we do business in this manner, in two years the party will receive a cendemnatlon which it richly deserves." . "Yes," spoke up Senator Jackson, "and the trustees will be here in a few days to demand more salaries, with the township assessors close upon their heels. I am opposed to suiting

anything that cannot be atopped at

the proper mark.

Senator Ratts. Republican, chipped

In at this moment, with a spoonful of

sarcasm for the Democrats: .

iI am satisfied." said he. "none of

the members told their constituents

anything about raising salaries dur

ing the campaign. If so. the complexIon of this house would have been dif

ferent Public sentiment must pre

vail In thla legislature or we'd better awltch to some form of government In which anarchy wtll prevail."

"Grant county officers have approached me in the same way that these other counties are coming for ward for increases," said Senator Shlveley. "lint I am here to stick to platform pledges, and that's what the party must do or It will be dlscredlt- . ed." "nut look at Marion county," object ed 8enator Clark. "We are on the same salary basis which we had a quarter of a century ago with over 100 percent Increase in population." "I am for economy." said Senator Fleming, "but I am not in for false economy." Then he told why Allen county commissioner should be paid more. Before the final role had proceeded very far it was seen the vote would be very close and both sides redoubled their efforts to win. Several changed their votes after first announcing them, and many were absent. When It waa seen the bill had not enough votes to pass It the opponents tried to adjourn, but 8enator Fleming Inslated upon ' the absentees being brought In and he held the ballot open until they had been summoned. All were found but Lambert, but still he lacked one vote of passing the bill, although under parliamentary procedure the bill waa not defeated, and may be called up again.

PAU1C OH STEAMER Ship in Flames Reaches a Port. f American Kews Srv!ce San Francisco, Jan. 27 With a fierce fire burning in her hold and 123 passengers in a state bordering on panic, the steamer Queen of the Pacific Steamship company "arrived in port this morning bringing the news of a fierce conflict with flames that had lasted for more than 12 hours and threatened to destroy the vessel and passengers. - The fifty-five members of the crew were exhausted from fighting the flames and controlling the terro-8trlcken passengers. The vessel was conveyed by the steamer Prudent of the same line which had hurried to the rescue in response t o frantic 'S. O. S." calls sent out by the wireless operator aboard Queen. The fire broke out yesterday after

noon when the vessel was off Point

Reyes, sixty miles north of this city, a few hours after the steamer had left for Puget Sound ports. It waa discovered by a member of the crew. While the fire drill was being set in motion the wireless operator began sending frenzied messages for help.' The operator at this port picked up tho distress call and the company im

mediately sent word that rescue would

be sent immediately and to keep up hope.

"The sea is runniug high and a gale

Is blowing , and we must have help at

once," was the response sent by Capt

Shea of the Queen.

The Prudent under a full head of

steam, started up the coast. Those

who were on board the Queen today told thrilling stories of the battle with the flames. The wind was so high

and the sea so rouga that it was al

most impossible to keep a foothold upon the decks which were wet and slippery from spray.

DOUGUlSSjSWlllIER To Retain Job as Entomologist. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Jan. 27. B. W. Douglass, state entomologist won a victory over his old time enemy, J. SI. Zion before the house committee on rights and privileges Thursday night when the members voted for the indefinite postponement of Representative Wells' bill abolishing the department of entomology. Both Douglass

and Zion appeared before the commit

tee and enlivened the proceedings by

calling each other such endearing

terms as "clown and "incompetent." Mr. Zion sought to show that the of

fice is useless because diseases af

fecting orchard trees should be hand

led by local authorities. Mr. Douglass defended his work to such good

advantage that the committee refused to be a party to putting him out of business. , George W. Miles, state fish and game commissioner also had good luck with the committee and all three of the bills he is advocating will be reported to the house favorably. One provides for raising the commissioner's salary, one provides for a fishing license and the establishment of hatcheries, and the other is a codification of the fish laws. The committee also indorsed the Spencer bill for the appointment of the state house custodian by the governor and raising his salary.
