After deliberating for three solid

plied the pruning knife twice, and
then hut moderately cutting down

devoted to boosting until at the end the

attorney's salary being cut from $1SOO
t ifi(U " -nien the council continued
merrily, on with the. work of raiBing
itema an til when the engineering anoi- fCoD,lBO(Ml 0B page $.)
snrreylag item ws reached a cr.t or.
PABKTii
$500 was made a reduction from
$8000 to $7500. Councilman Lafky op
posed it, but just then the members
were bent on trimming, and it had to
be done, but when the next item was
reached they had gotten out of the
mood, and again they went to rais
ing figures.
Health Officer's Salary Increased.
The first Item increased was an
appropriation of $1800 for the fire de
partment. It was represented by
councilman Lowe that it was neces
sary for the firemen to purchase much
additional hose and helmets, and the
fire alarm system also needed repair
ing. He moved to raise the item to
$1800, and the rest of the councilmen
moved with him.. i
When the $200 salary appropriation
for the city health officer came up for
consideration, Mayor Lachmund took
the-floor and declared that It should
be increased to $500. He maintained
that his duties should be bo In
creased that he would be city physi
cian and Inspector of fruits and milks
as well as health officer. The city's
health must be preserved, he main
tained, and $500 is not too much.
Dr. Miles followed with a short talk
Councilman White opposed the plan,
saying the first thing the council
knew they would be having a chemist,
and all the luxuries attached to an
expensive system of government. .
The council voted In favor of the
raise, and when the appropriation of
$150 for incidentals for the city
health officer fell beneath their eyes
they had added enough to make H
$400.
More Light Needed.
Mayor Lachmund, Councilman Hill
and one or two other councilmen
when the appropriation of $12,000 for
lighting came up, pleaded earnestly
for illumination for the city plead
ed for. light for the "little fellows,"
and their plea was not unavailing for
the council raised it to $14,000. Clus
ter lights at the expense of $3000, they
asserted, had been Installed for the
"big fellows," and, as the mayor put
it, "the time had come when th ecity
should do something for the subur
banite, so that whenever he decided
to come to town, it would not bs
necessary for him to carry a lantern
to find the way."
Councilman Manning alone protest
ed, saying "keep on raising the taxes
like, you are doing, and there will be
no one living In these suDurDan qib
tricts." The next item considered was tnat
for water $2600 being appropriated
by the committee, and enougn was
piled on it to make It a round jjowi.
The nubile building mainienanuc
fund was raised from $1200 to $1800,
and the fund for the library raised
from $3200 to $3195.
Brldpe Question I p.
Items were then passed by without
a raise until the construction work
fund bobbed up, and It was given a
wt nf 11000. making $8000 In all.
The committee had estimated the
appropriation for ' bridges at $8300

Los Angeles, Dec. 2. Bert H.
Franklin, former chief InveBtiga-

charged, with bribing Permanent
Juror Robert F. Bain. u held
today for the action of the sh-
perior court. In this case the
defendant was held on hta own
recognizance by Justice Young,
Franklin being mt on $10,000

When the continuance of
Franklin's preliminary hearing
came up today the defense rest-

any evidence.
A MOVEMENT 0 FOOT TO .RAISE
SALEM SALOOX LICESES FROM
$600 TO $1,000 EW COUNCIL
WILL TAKE THE MATTER UP.
When the new councilmen take up
the reins of the city government next
Tuesday evening, there will be sub
mitted to them for consideration an
ordinance raising the saloon licenses
to an even $1,000 a year. The ordi
nance is all perfected and was to
have been submitted last night, but
its introducer after taking an inven
tory of the members feared that it
might go down to defeat and decided
to allow it to rest in his pocket un
til the new councilmen should have
a voice, and among whom, it is stat
ed, the measure has a number of
friends.
Calls It Monopoly.
There are now 15 saloons in the
city. The number 's limited to that
and there would b wore, assert the
backers of the ordinance,, were it not
for that limit Each saloon, they con
tend, is enjoying a splendid business
and Is paying therefor but $600 a
year. As conditions now exist, they
state, the saloon men have virtually
a monopoly of the liquor- business
and with the present low license are
reaping a financial harvest each year.
Two Remedies Proposed.
Two remedies were proposed when
those back of the ordinance first be
gan to consider me sudjcci, euuer
repeal the ordinance limiting the
number of saloons and let everybody
desiring to, lake out a license, run a
saloon or let the present saloon men
enjoy the monopoly of the business
and raise the license. The latter
was decided upon. Should it fail,
however, It Is probable that the other
will be resorted to. The saloon men,
it is stated, are up in arms, and are
working hard against the measure.

San Francisco, Dec. 27. Struck by
a street car here today a hearse was
smashed Into kindling wood, the cof
fin thrown Into the street and .torn
open, and the corpse of Mrs.. Barbara
Rogoll, of Oakland, was projected Up
on the pavement. The collision oc
curred while the funeral procession
was on Its way from the mortuary
chapel to a Greek church for the fu
neral ceremony.
Nicholas Rogoll, the husband, was
in a carriage In the rear of the hearse
at the time of the accident.
The brakes refused to hold the car
on the slippery rails, and It crashed
Into the side of the hearse. The car
riage careened upon Its side and
broke In two, smashed from top to
bottom. The coffin was hurled Into
the street alongside the carriage,
breaking open. The woman's body,
wrapped In Its shroud, fell from the
coffin as the latter split on the pave
men. Another hearse bore the body
back to the undertaking parlors,
where It was again prepared for bur
ial, and a second funeral procession
was formed.
