WEAVER SAVES SALARY BILL
Olson Refuses to Vote for Ordinance
Making the Increase.
NO QUORUM PRESENT WITHOUT HIS VOTE
Member from the Foartk Reached 'y
Telephone and Pats la an
Appearance In Time to
aTC the Day.
There was nearly a slip 'twlxt tlie cup and
lip when the city council met last nlghl to
pass an ordinance providing for the in
creases In the salariea of the city clerk,
chief of police and membera of the police
and nr, departments
At the executive
session held before the council meeting.
which lasted an hour. Councilman Olson
stated that he would refu.-e to vote for the
passage of the ordinance under suspension
of the rules. Insisting that the measure was
one which should be finally passed upon by
I the Incoming city council. Arguments were
In vain. Councilman Olson remained obdur
ate and declined to go on record as favor
ing the passage of the ordinance. He also
waa not at all worried about going on rec
ord as being opposed to Its passage.
Without Councilman Olson, owing to the
absence of Councilman Tlnley, who Is con
fined to his home as the result of his re
cent accident, and Councilman Weaver, a
quorum would have been lacking and the
ordinance would thtis have to go over. After
. ,-,,,,.,-
more or ir"r trouble Councilman Weaer
was reached by telephone and he at once
signified his willingness to save the day
i and fi QUt lhe ,,,,,1 quorum. When word
came that the councilman from the Fourth
ward would put In an appearance Council
man Olson decided he had Important busi
ness elsewhere, donned, bis overcoat and
hat and slipped away from the city hall.
With the arrival of Councilman Weaver,
just as the clock struck 9, Mayor Macrae
called the council to order and the ordl-
'nance raising the salary of the city clerk
from U.0S0 to $1,3)0 a year, that of the
chief of police from $100 to $125 per month,
that of the night captain from 170 to 175
a month, that of the chief of the Are
department from $0 to $86 a month and
the pay of the members of the police and
fire departments from $B to $70 a month
was promptly passed under suspension of
the rules and everything was again se
rene. ,
Want More Par for Mayor.
Then there was Introduced a petition
signed by the following six ex-mayors, J.
II. Cleaver, M. F. iRohrer, Dell Morgan,
Thomas Bowman, D. Macrae, sr., and
George Carson, asking that the salary
of the mayor be restored to its former
flgiyre of $1,500. The salary for a number
of years has been $900. The petition con-
i talned the following preamble:
The Increased commercial Importance of
our city demands the time, attention and
liberality of our chief executive. Upon
mm aevoives me inauguration of a Dusl-
i nesa policy that will redound to the v.el-
i are or aemmeni or tne city. Tne salary
as n-w fixed by the council Is not com
mensurate with the responsibilities of the
office and we therefore petition your honor
able body to in some way provide for a
compensation not less than $1,500 a year.
jsotning waa done to make any pro
vision for the requested - Increase in the
ordinance passed last night, but the fol
lowing resolution was adopted:
Be it Resolved, That the foregoing peti
tion be approved and that we recommend
to the incoming city council the passage
of an ordinance fixing the salary of the
mayor at 1.5oo, and further recommend
that all the expenses of the Incoming
mayor incident to the office be paid in addi
tion to his salary.
An ordinance providing for Increasing the
number of men in the police department to
twenty-one in addition to the city marshal,
who Is ex-offlcio Chief of police, and ono
deputy marshal, was passed under suspen
sion of the rules.
The controversy over the location of the
proposed crossing from the Odd Fellows'
temple to the opposite side of Broadway
was settled by the council ordering it laid
to the southeast corner, opposite the Dodge
property, Instead of to tho southwest cor
ner, as ordered laid by Councilman Tlnley.,
chairman of the streets and alleys conH
mlttee. Rosenfeld brothors, by agreement
of adjoining property owners, was given
permission to extend their show wlndolw
seven Inches over the sidewalk. The origi
nal application asked for eighteen inches
and then was reduced to twelve Inches, hut
met with opposition on the part of rhe
adjoining property owners. City Solicitor
Bnyder gave it as his opinion that the
council had not the right to grant the per
mission to occupy even seven inches 'fa
public sidewalk, but the city council ignlored
his protest,
August Boysen s application for a pei mlt
to conduct a saloou at 16u0 South Slixth

o Trace of Postofllce Robber.
Deputy Sheriff Groncweg returned yester
day morning from Weston where he went
lato Thursday night with the bloodhounds
from Beatrice, Neb.', to trace. If possible,
the thieves who robbed the poatofflce there
Wednesday night. The belief was enter
tained in Weston that the robbery was
committed by local talent, but the blood
hounds dispelled this opinion.
Evidence was found showing that the
robbers made a rendesvous of an old,
abandoned building across the street from
the postofllce, as plaster which had fallen
from the celling of the dilapidated struc
ture waa plainly visible in the foot tracks
leading from the building to the poatofflce.
The bloodhounds, without the slightest
hesitation, followed the scent from the old
deserted building to the postofflce and from
there by a circuitous route to a point near
the Milwaukee depot. Tracks were found
in the vicinity of the depot corresponding
wlth those leading from the deserted build
ing to the postofflce. There was nothing,
however, to Indicate which direction had
been taken by the fugitives as a number
of trains both on the Milwaukee, and Rock
Island pass both ways during the night.

gram.) By a vote of 76 to 17 the house to
day ssed the Hughes anti-pass bill, after
amending It by adding a publication clause
so that It will go Into effect Immediately
upon publication Instead of July 4, as it
otherwise would.
The bill as par-d prohibits the use of
passes by federal, state, county and city
officials. Judicial or otherwise, delegates to
peilltlral conventions, members of political
committees and employes of political com
hilttees. The senste had previously passed
the bill, but It must be returned for con
currence In the amendments.
Drmarraae Bill Dead.
The house this afternoon put to sleep
one other of the msny bills which It was
expweted would cause some trouble and
much controversy. This Is the reciprocal
demurrage bill. The Mil has been much
discussed in committees. It provided in
brief that where a railroad company was
notified that a shipper needed or desired
car for shipping purposes the company
must furnish the same within a specified
time or pay a demurrage, charge thereon
to the shipper. It also Irgallsed the present
demurrage charges. The bill was de
manded by the shippers of northern Iowa,
especially the owners and managers of co
operative and farmer elevators, who com
plained that thousands of dollars were lost
annually by them because ot the failure
of the companies to supply cars when
shipments are to be made. In support
of the bill on the floor, Mr. Powers and
Mr. Doran spoke briefly, while Mr. Offll
spoko In opposition to the bill. The vote
taken was on a motion to substitute a
minority favorable report on the bill for
