I, POLICEMEN GIVEN : INCREASE IN PAY Fifty-four Members of De partment Gel a $10 Ad vance in Salary. ARGUMENTS HEATED Korns and Lawrence Contend That Other Salaries Also Should Be Raised. In complainco with an ordinance passed a year ago, creating throe grades in the patrol force of the police depart ment, fifty-four mcraberB of the depart ment wero promoted 'by the city com mission yesterday. Salary increases ot' $30 a month wore Riven in each case. The total increase adds $6480 to tho an nual pay roll of the department. Two mcmbcrB of the commission, W. H. Korns and Henry W. Lrawronce, fought the increase openly. ICorns de clarcd it was not right to raise tho salaries of tho policemon without grant ing similar increases to emplo3'ces in other departments. INIY. Lawrence, while admitting that under the ordinance passed a year aci the increase might bo made, strenuously opposed the action and demanded that if increases in salarj" were to be civen, that some uni- I, form system extending to all dopart- H inents "of the city government be HI adopted. However, since the onlhianco Hj eristed, Mr. Lawrence agreed to cast Hi "his vote in favor of the increase. Com- Hl niissioner Korns cast the only dissent- Hjj intr veto. I Would Increase Laborers. At the height of the argument over Hj tlie htattor Commissioner Korns seized Hj pencil and paper and hastily wrote out Hj and introduced a motion to increase the Hj salaries of all laborers employed foy Hj the city from $2.25 to $2.o0 per day Hj for eight hours. He declaimed warmly HJ for the laboring man, and declared they HJ were more entitled to consideration Hj than the police. The motion was with- Hj drawn as out of order. HJ Of the promoted policemen, thirty- HJ three arc advanced from second to first HJ grade and their salaries increased from HJ $flO to $100 a month, and twenty-one HI nrn advanced from third to second HI grade and their salaries increased from HJ $80 to $00 a month.

In harmony with the wide and ener getic movement to bring about tho offi cial selection of the Midland Trail route as the Western link of the first transcon tinental automobile highway, the Salt Lake council of the Midland Trail asso ciation will conduct n. vigorous member ship campaign throughout next week.

COMMISSI VOTES 10 REMOVE HEMPEL Action Is Unanimous Upon Recommendation of Chief of Police Grant. Concurring In the recommendation of tho chief of police, the city commission ers voted unanimously yesterday morning to remove John Ilempel. senior captain of the police department. Tho action of tho commission was exclusively prophe sied In The Tribune yesterday morning. The vote to dismiss the veteran officer was taken following a re cess Gession held In the office of Mayor Park, at which B. F. Grant, chief of police, laid bufore tho commis sioners his reasons for desiring the re moval. Reconvening a moment later, the commissioners received the written rec ommendation of the chief and voted without comment to concur In It. Captain Mempcl was present at tho time. Before the vote was taken he asked Mayor Park to defer rlnal action one day, but the mayor declined. Hem pel walked from the room without wait ing to hoar the result of tho vote. lie was Joined a dnoment later In the eleva tor by Clilef Grant, who informed him that his services for the Salt Lake -police dopartment had been termlnted, ef fective ut once. "Very well, sir," was Hempel's only comment. The two walked from the building together. "This action was inspired by nothing personal against Captain Hempel," said the mayor. "No charges of any sort re llectlng on the integrity or ability of the man have been preferred. Chief tyrant has simply informed the commis sion that he desires another man in the position. "Captain Hempel was not in sympathy with the policy of tho police depart ment. There was a lack of the essen tial harmony. It was just such a case as existed a year ago on a larger scale and because of which it became neces sary to dismiss a good many members of the old police force. I am exceedingly sorry that the necessity has risen again in this case." When John Hempel walked from the mayor's office at noon yesterday, without even waiting to hear the verdict against him, hc had completed twenty years' service in Salt Lake's police department. Hc began as a patrolman in 1SH3 and worked up the ladder. When the new administration came into office a year ago, Hempel was first lieutenant of po lice. That rank was abolished bv the new administration and Hempel became senior captain, the third ranking offi cer of the police department. Above him was the inspector of police and then i the chief The question of his retention was a matter of controversy at the time of reorganization a vcar aro. On. many occasions, Captain Hempel had been acting chief of police during the absence of the real head of the de partment. In his written communication to the commissioners the chief of police made no mention of a successor to Captain Hempel and Mayor Parksald later that no decision had been reached In regard to the matter. It is understood that ISmil Johnson, first duty sergeant, will he promoted to a Junior captaincy and that John J. Rob erts, present Junior captain, will take Hempel's place. TITANIC SURVIVOR IS IN THE CITY Miss Margaret Hays of New York Talks of the Great Sea Horror. Miss Margaret B. Hays of New Tori: and her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Bechstcln of New -Rochelle, N. Y., are guests at the Hotel Utah In this city. Thoy arrived early yesterday afternoon ovor the Western Pacific from San Fran cisco, and will continue on their east ern trip tonight,- Miss Hays was a survivor o& the Titanic disaster, which occurred on the White Star line last spring, and her name has become well known through the" part she played In caring for two llttlo French boys whoso father went down with the liner. When seen in the hotel yesterday Miss Hays freely discussed the disaster, to which she referred as the greatest criminal neg ligence of which she had ever heard. In speaking of one of her experiences, sho said; There were many incidents during the trip to New York after the acci dent that brought out the true worth of the persons concerned. One In particular was on the Carpathla. A German count had managed to get into a boat and was saved with the rest. During the trip the crew of the Carpathla placed at the disposal of the extra passengers a Iarcre quan tity of emigrant blankets. My friend and I gave up our stateroom and were sleeping on the deck or any where we could. It was bitterly cold one night and there seemed to bo an unusual dearth of blankets. My friend and I approached the count, whose name I never learned, and I asked him for some of the huge stack of blankets that he had appropriated. "You wouldn't have me give up my nice, warm bed. would you?" pleaded the count. "Yes, I would." I answered. I couldn't get them until I called him a brute and demanded them. He then got up grumbling and under him were ten of the heavy blankets, while others were shiver ing about the dock We took two of the blankets, rind as he settled down on the others, I leaned over him and said, "You were saved and women and children went down with the ship." Some wanted to throw him overboard. MILK SAMPLES SHOW UP WELL Conditions in Restaurants and Cafes of City Much More Satisfactory.

Slttinir ns a budget committee, the city commission yesterday trimmed the UH:l appropriation for the fire department a total of $L'0,000. Originally Chief W. II. 13ywatcr had requested 5150,000 for e?:-1 peudlturc this yenr. Mayor Samuel C. j Park, who Is the head of the department! as commissioner of public ynfeiy, con curred in the chief's recommendations. The other commissioners, however, dif fered from both, and over the protests of both determined to decrease the budget $20,000. In the opinion of Mayor Park and Chief Bywater. the cut In the department ap propriation will have a decided effect upon the expected reduction In the tire Insurance rates for the conilng year. The; underwriters, who made an Inspection of1 the local situation recently, ruported that if certain improvements were made a re duction might be expected, possibly of 10 per cent, which would be a saving to the citizens of approximately Slu.0" annually In premiums. The reduction in the budget appropriations, however, it Is said, will make It Impossible to complete the contemplated Improvements. In a recent Interview Chief Bywater made an emphatic declaration to that effect. The amount appropriated, however, Is approximately $'JO,000 greater than the same budget last year and will permit of several Improvement plans fostered by the mayor. Chief of these will be .the placing of the central lire station upon a complete motor basis. An aerial truck, motor driven, will be purchased, and a tractor for the big steam engine. These improvements, together with the pur chase of a dovlce whereby the smaller engine can be drawn by the fire chief's motor, will completely supplant the horses at the central station. Mayor Park's recommendation for $63, 000 for street lighting was passeC un scathed. The greater part of tills will be spent for maintenance of the present street lighting system, leaving but little for Installation of new lights. The recom mendation of $2-150 for maintenance of the smoke Inspection dopartment was concurred in. This will employ two smoke inspectors at $100 a month each. Provision for the humane officer was made with an appropriation of $1500. LONGFELLOW REMEMBERED Anniversary of Poet's Birth Is Pleasantly Celebrated at School Named in Honor.

LIMIT SALOONS, ' SAYS D-ININNY No Question That Commission Has Authority, Ts View ' of City Attorney. I-T. J. Dlnlnny, city attorney, yester day told tlie city commissioners that they have the power to onact an ordinance limiting the number of saloons In the city, irrespective of tlie action of the dis trict court in granting liquor license. Mr. Dlnlnny rendered his decision oral ly to the commissioners at the regular meeting when asked for an opinion as to the city's right to transfer a saloon license from 325 South State street di rectly acrossr the street to .'12G, against which numerous property owners In the district have protested. "There is no question," Mr. Dlnlnny said, "that ibis commission has the power to fix tlie number of saloons In the city. If that were done It would sottlo the matter of regulation and con trol. Even the district court would not grant licenses In excess of- the limit fixed by the ordinance and all questions as to the power of tho city to control tho liquor business and regulate It would be set tled." As to the case nt Issue, however. Mr. Dinlnny did not think tlie city had the1 right to transfer the license. Inasmuch as tho license was granted not only to a person, but to a place of business. To transfer the license It would be neces sary for the holder of It to apply to the district court for a new license at 32fi fotith State street and surrender his old ', one. I The protests made against the trans fer were returned by the chief of polh-c, to whom they had been referred, with the recommendation that the application for transfer be denied. However, slnca no body has as yet asked for the transfer, the commission ordered all papers per taining to the matter filed lor future consideration. It is understood tb'U J. S. Gordon, holder of the llconso at 325 South State, wJll apply for the transfer! within the next few days.
