The talisman was given to Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh at a farewell banquet by the Panama reception committee. The eagle is of solid #old and of primitive design, weigh- ing 313 grains. It was dug from a grave in the Chirique mourtains. The present was in a box of na- tive mahogany and cedar. Another unique gift for the col- lection was an exceptionally fine Panama hat, rarely seen outside this region. It was concealed in & box fashioned to look like a book, on which was a wooden globe tracing the fiyer’s routes. The present was from Masons of Panama. The eagle was accompanied by a parchment of presentation {lluminat- ed in the form of an old manuscript. The Indians of the Isthmus had many symbols of rank and the gift to Lindbergh was their highest sym- 90l because the eagle soars to the greatest heights. In a day crowded with other events, Lindbergh found time to slip away to view the ruins of old Pa- nama along the famous Camino Real, where mules bore the gold of conquest across the Isthmus. Lind- bergh was especially interested in the ruins of the old Panama cathe- dral which was blown up by Mor- gan, the raider, but whose wooden beams Rhave stood intact these 400 yoars. President Chiarl and Vice-Presi- dent Duque of Panama made 15 mingte flights in & borrowed plane with. the fiyer. It was the presi- dent's first ride In an airplane. Lindbergh sipped wine twice. Onos in response to a toast to a for- mer classmate at Kelly field, Robert W. Douglas, Jr., who Is now work- ing in Panama, and once in respond- ing to & toast to the republic.

Maxon Speaks For Loomis Opening the discussion on creases, Chairman Maxon sald he has been approached by one of the city’'s largest manufacturers and asked to do something to increase the salary of Collector Bernadotte Loomis, who was not applying for an increase. “Did that manufacturer raise the wages of his employes this year?" Councilman larson asked. Chairman Maxon replied that in the factory indlvidual cases are considered as such. The chairman stressing the fact of Mr. Loomis's ability, said the collector has found it necessary to go down-in his own pocket, but no one has ever heard of it. Councilman Warner asked if it was not a fact that the collector denied ever having to make up an error, and Maxon replied that was rot an error, but an instance where something was put over on him, Councilman Gibney remarked: “We mustn't forget the speech before us in opposition to salary increases.” “I don't believe that speech should be regarded at all. We're here to vote according to our own ability. He can veto what we do, or the in- doesn’t matter,” Councilman Warner replied. Councilman Wilson moved that | the salary be increased from $3,600 | to $4,000 and it was so voted. On motion of Councilman Warner, the salary of Mrs. Mae B. Jackson, deputy collector, was increascd to | [ $1,750. She now recelves $1,500 and | asked for $1,800. Champions Taxpayers During discussion of the petition lof Lena Kranowitz for an increase from $1,350 to $1,500 in the pay of first clerk of the board of assessors, Counciiman Larson again took floor to say: fact that we are here to protect the taxpayers. There are hundreds of men walking the streets out of work! | Just go to the labor bureau and see people begging for jobs. Good citl- zens and taxpayers, and they can't get work. We should use a little judgment and not forget our oath of office. Remember, these salaries we are voting on are good ones— ! there {sn’t a ‘starvation wage’ in the whole lof Councilman Gibney endorsed the sentiments of his colleague and pre- dicted that it the course started is followed there would be no, end to the increases voted. | Replying to Councilman Larson, Councilman Sablotsky declared: “Youre talking about hard times and lack of work now, but when the presidential campaign rolls around | you'll be one of the first up there on the band-wagon shouting about |‘Coolidge prosperity.’ You may | think you're making a hit with the | factorfes, but you're not. They don’t want anyone to think there's anything but good times. Remem- ber, too, these are all political jobs and city hall employes are required Elo pay toward their party’s cam- ! paign. The whole amount asked for in increases is but $14,000. You can |find that amount wasted by the | board of public works any time.” Woods, §3,500; Greenstein, $1,750 When Sablotsky urged an in- crease from $3,000 to $4,000 in the salary of Prosecutor Woods, after Councilman W. W. Greene had so moved, Councilman Larson asked: | “It the bar association wants these | ealaries increased why don't they | | dig down?" Councilman Cooper amended to make the salary $3,500 and it was voted to do so. The salary of the | assistant prosecutor was increased in the same proportion, one-sixth, mak- ing it $1,750. Cierk of Courts E. asked that his v be raised from $2,600 to $3.200 or that it be cut to 000 and that the city pay for his tenographer.

Councilman Greene moved that the salary of Chief of Police W. C. Hart be raised from $3;700 to $4,000. Councilman Warner amended to make it $3,900 and that was voted. ‘The building department asked raises from $3,300 to $3,700 for the electrical inspector, $2,700 to $3,000 for the plumbing inspector, and $1- 300 to $1,400 for the clerk. Coun- spectors be increased and Council- man Greene favored Increasing the clerk's pay. Both spoke favorably of the three employes concerned. All were rejected, on motion of Coun- cilpan Warner. Calls Firemen's Statistics Decelving After Councllman Wilson had made a plea for the firemen's in- crease and presented a table of comparative figures to show that the fire fighters of this city are low- er paid than in many other cities, Councilman Larson charged the sta- tistics to be incorrect, Mr. Larson claimed to have an official statement showing what is paid and New Brit- ain is higher than New Haven, Wa- terbury, Springfield and others, he said. The statement exhibited by ‘Wilson was not prepared by him, but is a printed report which was sent to all members of the common coun- cil. Councilman Larson told the committee it is erroneous in many respects and very deceiving. Councilman Wilson moved that the increase be granted, saying the firemen have not had a raise in sev- en years, with the exception of 50 cents a day which was taken from them when the two-platoon system was installed, and later given back. Councilman Cooper amended that a 25 cent increase be given. Both were defeated and on Councllman Lar- son’s motion the committee voted to allow salaries to remain. Just before adjournment Council- man Sablotsky moved that the com- mittee present the report as a unit and back it in the council. It was voted to do s0. A moment later members grasped the significance of their action and speedily reconsid- ered, Councilman Larson saying: would never have voted on that mo- tion had I realized it would cut off my right of speech in the council.” Mayor Weld Silent Mayor Weld refused today to say what his attitude will be toward the salary increases which are recom- imended by the salary committee, preferring, he sald, to await a tran- ‘Whether or not he will veto the action of the common council if the report is adopted will depend on his study of the minutes, he clares. Asked if he will adhere to the pol- icy announced by him several wecks ago in which he declarcd against salary raises, the mayor said: “I haven't said different, 14 MORE BODIES TAREN FROM HULL .

If necessary another visit to the scene will be made on Friday, Lut no testimony will be taken at Provincetown, Read Admiral Rich- ard H. Jackson, president of the court, announced today. ! No Tender Rule, | Admiral Andrews in his testimony said that there was apparently no established rule in the matter of using tenders in submarine stand- dardization trials on the mile courses on the Atlantic coast and the five such courses on the Pacific coast. | In the last four years, he said, the ! district had been requested to fur- | nish a sea-going tug for nine sub- | marine trials at Provincetown. In i other cases a vessel had been sent i from outside the district or a tender ;M\d been dispensed with. “Although 1 do not believe we have much red tape, routine meth- ods were entirely dispensed with in | this case,” the witness said. “In this | connection, in my telephone conver- | sations with Washington I got the chief of the bureau of naval opera- | 'Xions himself without delay. I was also authorized to make purchases of material for use in salvage work direct and to retain the services of | whatever personnel was required.” Admiral Andrews said that officers as well as outside interests had co- ted in conncction with the He mentioned express and | transportation companies which he said had done everything pos | rush shipments of ed. materiul requir- 9 Suggestions Received, There were 79 suggestions receiv- | Augusta .

Of these 29 were forwarded to Read Admiral Frank H. Brumby, in charge of the control force. “In no single case did we consider that there was any suggestion of {m- mediate -use,” he said, “and while some might have pointed the way to possible use, they would have needed considerable study and investigation before adoption.” The witness said that the Boston navy yard had no salvage equipment would have been of service in raising the 8-¢. Lifting operations in rough water could only be accom- plished by the use of pontoons, he said, Met- Easy Death The court has been asured of the virtual certainty that the victims in the 8-4's torpedo room met their deaths from carbon dioxide gas as “easily as if they were going to sleep.” Lieut. C. J. Flotte, medical officer in the salvage operations and expert in diving discases, gave the testi- mony which reveals for the first time that tests had shown secven per cent of carbon dioxide gas was present in the torpedo room where six men survived long after the other 34 of the crew presumably had perished. Three per cent of the gas was highly dangerous and life could not ihave existed-when the higher pro- portion was reached, he testified. “They were all dead without ques- {tion,’ he replied in answer to a question from the judge advocate. He expressed his belief that all | ! possible had been done by the res- cue fleet.

In a written request to the ward- en, Gray, directed that the $21 he has to his chedit in the prison effice be pent for ‘the benefit of the 10 in- mates of the death house. He asked that §$15 be. spent te previde a spe- clal dinner‘f¢r the prisoners and the balance be given to Disie Baldwin, pennileas negro awaiting death for killing & man in Steuben county. The money, he said, should be spent for cigarettés and other comforts for the man “who hasn't anyone to help him.” Gray had already made a will giv- ing his insurance and personal ef- fects to his daughter Jane. Both Mra, Snyder and Gray were said at the prison to be in good health, Final plans for the execution, autopsies and disposal of the bodies, have been made by Warden Lawes. He said neither prisoner would be given any narcotic to deaddn their sensibilities when the hour for their execution arrives. Mrs. Bnyder Now Oatholic Mrs. Snyder, who embraced the Catholic faith after her conviction, received the sacraments which made her a communicant of the Catholic church. She had been recelving in- struction in the faith from Father John P.
