Committee in "Hole" Boosts Salaries of Officers SI 00 Per Year and Wagonmen S5 Per Month.

Firemen's salaries will be increased. At a meeting of the committee in tho "hole" of tho rommon council, Tuesday night, it waa decided to adopt an ordinance boosting the salaries of oflicers J 100 a year. The chief will receive a raise next year of $100, making his salary $1,The assistant chief will get the same raise, making his salary $ 1,400. Tho captains will get $1,100 instead of $1,000, and the lieutenant and tiremen will get $1,020 instead of $CC0. A raii-e of $T. a month was given the firemen. The matter was turned over to the city attorney, who nI11 draw up an ordinance which will lie taken up at the next j-ession of the council. Whether the street car company will he requested to establish a line on W. Sample st.. fr(m S. Michigan si. west to meet the Sample St. line at Chapin st., as: desired by nearly L0 petitioner?, was debated pro and con by citir.ens and officials of the railway company for the benefit of tho council. This before the session adjourned to the regular "star chamber" session. No action was taken. Declared Impractical. The railway officials declared the proposition impractical, while Councilman Goebel and O. F. Haslanger, a S. Michigan st. store keeper and one of the petitioners, argued hotly for the endorsement of the council. Following tho discussion by outsider!, the committee of tho whole adjourned to executive session. Tho outcome of the discussion among themselves was not ascertained. It is believed, however, that tho project is doomed to defeat at the next session of the council, ns three of the rotincilmen were willing: to drop hints that they were not strong for tho measure, since, they Jeclare, it does not seem practical and that it is strictly a matter to be settled by tho street car company as it sees fit. After the heated argument from both sides. City Atty. Eli Seebirt sprang the catcher in the affair, by showing the council how they are able to compel the company to construct the line. AVijrdlng to an ordinance read by the' attorney, he showed that the company Can be ordered by the council to construct the line If it refuses to taW retlon within CO days, the right to build it over that route Is rescinded and turned over to some other car company. This company In turn has go day.' to take some action toward building the line, before it Is plven over to some other line, which might be the road which was ordered first. As there Is but one line in the citj- anyway. Councilman Lang declared ho could bee no use in ordering the company to construct the line. Would Cot $10,000. C. D. Kmmis of the railway company was firs: to speak. He pointed out that four railway tracks will be compelled to be crossed, that the pavement will be necessarily torn up for four thousand feet and that the project will cost the company more than $4 0,000. IIo also declared that the project would not pay enough money to cover tho accidents caused by the number of railway crossings and said It would be a losing proposition all the way round. Oborn Ullery took up tho matter in tho railway company's behalf, pointing out that Sample st. is .unusually narrow and that It has considerable travel; that the lire department with one company on the street, would bo unable to pass a street car and that great danger would arise. Th street, ho raid, would have to be- "widened at a big expense to the tax-payers along tho street, none of whom Tvere In favor of the line as tho present accommodations suited. Tho petitioners, he declared, were most of them located In other districts and worked at the factories in the vicinity of Chapin and Sample Ft. That several other matters were to taken up following the discussion regarding the street car proposition.

"Millionaire Kid" Cannot See Why They Dog Him Around . as He Has No Intentions of Skipping From New York.

Chandler, whom Broadway chrlttcn-1

night at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel with iwo deputy sheriff whoso duty it is to tee that he doesn't evade the court proceedings instituted by his wife, Givice Laltue, the actress. ChandUr will file a J2S.O0O bond Wednesday to Insure his presence in court. "handler is unconcerned; his only trouble was the presence of the deputies who hindered his pleasure, he said. He could not understand why they dogged him. "I have no more intention of leaving1 New York than Huerta has of abdicating," he declared. In her complaint M'ss LaRue says she married Chandler In August. H'O'J. and toured Europe with him. He lived up to his reputation as a millionaire, she admits. He ordered three automobiles for her three days alter the wedding. Then In New York the romance ended. ".Mr. Chandler left me here with $:(. on Jan. 24, 1914," Miss Laltue said. "Then he took me to London, saying he had obtamed some theatrical engagements for me. I told him I could not live on the money he save me. He has been very abusive and cruel and on one occasion threatened me with a revolver." Chandler makes a general denial of his wife's charges. He says her stage success in London turned her head. In a statement issued Tuesday night by Miss Laltue she said: "I notice the papers say my husband has declared that my head was turned by my I-iondon success and that I became the center of a fast living crowd. This Is untrue. Everybody in London knows I associated only with respectable people. They also know the noclety In which my husband traveled and the behavlcr which has made him notorious. "The papers also say that Mr. Chandler came over here with his daughter. There must be a mistake In that. He has no daughter. I was reluctant to sue him. I went to see his mother first in Manchester, N. H.. but thought it was best for Byron and I separate, if we could not agree."

New Plan of Appointing Announced Decrease Will Fall Wholly Upon the Southern States. WASHINGTON, April 8. Senator Borah of Idaho, Sen. Warren of Wyoming and former Gov. Hatfield of West Virginia announced the new plan of appointing delegates to the next republican national convention In 1916. By it the representation Is decreased by 8 9 delegates, the loss almost wholly falling upon the south. Each state is entitled to four delegates at large, with two additional delegates at large for each representative at largo in congress and one delegate from each congressional district. An additional delegate is provided for each congressional district In which the vote for any republican elector in 1908 or for the republican nominee for congress in 1914 shall have been not less than 2,700. The committee provides that Its suggested basis of representation shall not go into effect unless it is approved, prior to Jan. 1, 1915, by state republican conventions, "in such number of states as are entitled to cast a majority of the votes in the picvni electoral college." Unuer the old system of representation the southern and territorial representation was approximately 35 percent of the convention, yet they gave a very small percentage of the electoral vote. This gave the party bosses and the republican" administration, if the party were In power, uu apparent advantage over any contestant, as was emphasized by the routing of the Koosevelt delegations at the Chicago convention in 1912.
