BUDGET DUE F LIVELY DEBA Several Matters Are Expected to Cause Argument at Council Meeting. City councilmen are debating tho question as to whether or no the question of raising the salary- of Mrs. Minnie H, Kvans, policewoman, has been definitely settled. Although it was voted at the last meeting of the committee of the whole that her salary should remain $50 a month, after Councilman Miller's- motion to increase it to $;o had been lost, it is held by some that since the council itself had not passed the budget, the question might a sain ari.e there.There are other matters in the appropriations budget that councilmen do not like, and which as a result will probably be the subjects of lively discussion at that body's regular meeting next Monday night. Councilman HuKerty promises a tight against the appropriation of a large police miscellaneous expense fund to the board of public safety, which according to Councilman Lang is questioning the safety board's integrity. The request from the board of health that it he supplied with ;i motorcycle is being bitterly fought by Councilman John Smogor, and he will admittedly endeavor to have that portion of the health board appropriation stricken out. The question of Mrs. I'vans' pay was left to the committee of the whole by the ways and means committee, which is compbsed og Councilmen lUiechner, S'eifert and Lang. The budget was approved with the exception of this one point and the fact that a motion to increase was lost when the vote was a tie, was taken by the council members as a token that the question was one of open debate as yet. However, it is claimed by council members that the action of the committee of the whole has settled the matter, and that there Is no other method by which the increase could be brought before the council, unless by special ordinance. This extreme will not occur, it is said. Councilman Rueehner's startling statement at the committee meeting that all of the city's employes were being underpaid has caused hope to rise in the breasts of the police and fire departments. These two departments have petitions in the hands of Mayor Keller and City Controller Manning for increases in pay. Both of these officials have said that the petitions would be given consideration. Other members of the council, in agreeing wit1- Hueehner. have intimated that when the city's financial condition permitted, they would give the two petitions favoruble consideration. The failure of the council to increase the pay of Mrs. I vans was attributed by several members to the fact that It was deemed unfair to increase the pay of one member of the police force, and ignore the petitions of the remainder. MUCH TROUBLE RESULTS FROM SMALL ACCOUNT Money Is Duo for Plowing. Ilors Is Taken, Man Is Arrested, Keploln Suit Is rile!. .Suit to recover the possession of a horse has been brought in Justice Peak's court by Oeorge Gualski against Joseph Ilagyi. The plaintiff is a truck raiser living on the Division st. road. It is said that the trouble over the horse started when he, Gugalskl, hired Hagyl to plow hl.s land. The latter, it is said, agreed to wait for part of his pay, hut later took the horse, fearing that he would not otherwise get his pay. The plalntlrT says that he had hut recently bought the horse, llnding that to be eheaper than renting one. It was when John Szymaczak, the former owner of tlu horse, rented the horse for the purpose of taking a trip to Crumstown and was about to start away from CJuKlski'.- barn that Hapyl rushed forth and led the horse away. Cui;alski had Haixyi arrested on a charge of stealing and that case also Is now pending. The horse remained in Hagyi's barn until secured by (Jujralski through the replevin suit. Gugalski not only seeks permanent possession of the horse hut also wants S'tO damagv. The money, which it is aul llagyi feared he would not get, amounts to 17.40.

MAYORS H

ADAH f i Judge Ford's Ruling in Saloon Cases Not Based on the Proctor Law. Discussion of the decision of Judge Ford of the superior court in the case of Kdward Keller against Mayor Keller, instituted to restrain the latter from enforcing an order to revoke a liquor license, has brought to light misunderstandings as to the court's grounds for ruling aKainst the mayor. The case came 'dp Tuesday afternoon. Kdward Keller, administrator of the estate of William Bivans. sought to have set aside an order of the mayor's whereby the license held by the "Flat Iron" saloon was revoked on the grounds that the saloon had been open on a lepal holiday. The court found for the plaintiff and held that the authority to revoke ; liriuor licence was held solely by the county commissioners and the circuit and superior courts. The decision handed down by Judge Ford was based on these points; The mayor of the city of South Bend has not now nor has he ever possessed, under any law. the power to revoke a liquor license issued by the board of commissioners of St. Joseph county. IPs attempt to revoke the license in this case was a plain usurpation of authority. Further, in the opinion of the court, the legislature no doubt miu:ht have conferred such power on the mayor but it has never done so. The powerto veto, suspend, rescind or revoke the orders of the county commissioners is "very wisely" withheld from th mayor. The city of South Bend and the county of s't. Joseph are two different legal subdivisions of the state and each is given such share of the general police powers of tho state aa the legislature in its wisdom saw fit to delegate to it that an no more. IrcK'tor Iiw Nt Abrogative. The statute, sub. S, Burns statutes SdS'2 (acts of lHo.l. p. 2?, ), under which the mayor assumed authority to revoke the license in this case, is still in full force and effect and it was not repealed by the act of 1011 (the Proctor law). The provisions of this statute have been contained in substance in eery cities and towns law for more than T0 years and no court of Indiana has ever held that under this law a mayor could revoke a license issued by the hoard of county commissioners. The law confers on the mayor the authority to revoke, or otherwise dispose of licenses issued by a city tinder ordinances. as for peddlers, buskers, carnivals and other .amusements. He may revoke such license in the manner attempted by him in the Keller case and the proctor case does not abrogate his authority in this respect. The mayor has no authority except that given to him by ordinances of statutes. The mayors of Indiana cities never had power, under any former legislation on this subject, to suspend or revoke a liquor license or any other license issued by the board of county commissioners. The only new provision in the Proctor law which has any bearing on this subject is one which gives to the circuit and superior courts the power to suspend and revoke liquor licenses. This power was not possessed by these courts before the act of 1011. Judge Ford's decision was not based on the Proctor law and he did not, in his remarks last Tuesday, refer to the Proctor law except to call attention to the fact that jurisdiction to suspend and revoke liquor licenses was, by that law, vested also in the circuit and superior courts of the state, whereas, before its enactment, the sole power was vested in the county commissioners. MEN ACCUSED OF LARCENY ARE HELD Plead Guilty to Theft of Various Articles from Mrs. Minnie Buiske. Arthur Smith, alias Arthur Mallory and Irvon Kichardson. the two young men who are alleged to have stolen articles of clothing from tho room.s of Mrs. Minnie Puiske, 110 1-2 W. Colfax aw, were arraigned in city court Thursday morning charged with grand larceny. Upon their pleas of guilty they were bound over to the circuit court grand jury under bond of f."u0 each. The two young men were arrested in Klkhart Wednesday afternoon where they told ollicers that tho goods in the suit cases they carried was property of the wife of Mallory. It was claimed that the wife had left Mallory in possession of the. clothing. Later they were said to have confessed to the theft. SAYS WIFE NAGGED HIM UNTIL HE BECAME ILL Charles Steele Petitions for Divorce from Eva Steele—Cora Curtis and Joseph Uhl Also File. A petition for divorce has been filed in the superior court by Charles Steele, 416 S. Michigan st., against Eva Steele. The petitioner says that he was married in 1911 but that he and his wife separated in 1915 after his wife had harrassed and nagged him until he had become ill as a consequence. He says that she refused during their married life to care for their home or get his meals. Cora P. Curtis petitions the circuit court to grant her a divorce from James P. Curtis and to allow her $200 alimony as well as $3 a week for the support of her one son. She says that she left her husband last September after he had threatened her with a butcher knife. Thev were married in 1910. Joseph Uhl wants a divorce from Elmira Uhl because, as he says, she made it a practice to curse him continually. They were married in 1896 and separated in 1915. WOULD SELL PROPERTY. Levina Fry filed a petition in the circuit court Thursday morning seeking authority to sell a lot at 405 Vistula av. without the permission of her husband. The petitioner's husband was adjudged insane last June. WORKED TOO HARD. U")I)LNI), Cal.. Auk. .'.Mis.

ITALIAN OFFENSIVE CONTINUES STEADILY Prosir-s on Center and KIkIU of Caixi rlateau Made Under lleay Artillery Fire. ROME. Auk. The Italian offensive on Ihe Carso plateau :s continuing. Notable progress has been made on the center, while the right win? is advancing steadily in the zone of Monte Uum, where heavy and obstinate ltehtinK is taking place. The Austrian activity has been limited to a number of useless counter-attacks ;it Monte Scl Husi, which have been easily repulsed bv the Italians. Meanwhile the Italian artillery is demolishing the barrier of forts in the Cadore valley and silencing the Austrian guns near Malborghetto. The Austrian attempts to drive the Italians from Monte Sei I'.usi is explained by the fact that the Italian advance in this direction threatens to cuff off communications anil thus force the eventual retreat of the garrison of Gorizia, since an enveloping movement is apt to follow at any moment. Hesides easily repulsing the cmn-ter-attacks the Italians arc holding their ground and have le-n enabled to send troops apainst the attacking forces. The Austrian counter-attacks are worse than useless yince tho Italian positions at Monte Sei liusi are practically impregnable.
