== News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 HIRKHAN REVERSES STAND ON SALARY OF CITY ENGINEER Corporation . Counsel Declares Merian Is Not Entitled to Pay Until Gouncil Acts - ALTERS HIS ATTITUDE IN LETTER T0 MAYOR! Controversy Must Be Settled By Concurring Votes of Boards and Common Council in Cases of Pub- lic Works Department Official, El- lingwood and Faselle — In Mean- time Merian Gets His, Strictly speaking, City Engineer Philip A. Merian is not entitled to any salary under existing conditions, Corporation Counsel John H. Kirk- ham ruled today, altering his written statement to Mayor Paonessa which was published last night. In the opinion filed today, the city's legal adviser places Merian in the category with Park Superintend- ent Clyde Ellingwood, in that each must await a concurring vote of their respective boards and the com- mon council. Although the matter of Street Superintendent Engene Faselle's sal- ary is not mentioned in today’s let- ter, the corporation counsel after- wards declared that Faselle is in the same position as the other employes. While there would be no legal au- thority for making any salary pay- ments at the present, Corporation Counsgel Kirkham opines the comp- troller would be perfectly safe in i at the existing rates, he Kirkham's Letter The letter, addressed to the board public works, with a copy sent to Mayor Paonessa, reads as follows: af ‘Regarding the salary of Mr. Merian, concerning which I wrote vou on June 5th, 1 wish to state that on further study of the matter. I am of the opinion that Mr. Merlan is in the employ of the city at no fixed nor definite rate of compensation for the reason that he is a new man in the office of city engincer and that the ordinance which provides as follows: ““Whenever a vacancy is to be filled the salary shall not be fixed without the approval of the common council’ has the effect of suspending the fixing of the salary pertaining to the office of city engineer as last fixed by the board and approved by the common council. Of course, the charter provision governs and the ordinance cannot deprive the board of its right to fix the salary subject to the approval of the common council. but T think the common council has the right to provide that when the hoard selects a new man for the office that the salary fixed for the former incumbent of the position shall not be pald until the board again fixes the salary, subject to the approval of the common counei “For the ahove reasons, It is my opinion that unless the board and the common council get together on this matter that Mr. Merian is in the position of a person under employ- ment at a wage to be subsequently determined and he is not in a finan- cial position to wait Indefinitely that he would be perfectly justified in bringing suit against the city for his pay and that the court would give judgment for such sum as he might prove his services were rea- sonably worth, “He appears to be in exactly the FIREWORKS LID OFF | AT 5 A.

Chicago, July 8 (P—Leaders and |spokesmen of several national groups which are in disagreement with both major political parties’ prohibition planks were gathering today in advance of the convention called to meet here July 10, Although the covention is nomi- nally that of the prohibition party, cfforts have been made to combine the strength of all those factions which fail to find in the democratic or republican platforms the prom- ises they desire. Farmer-labor and other groups have been asked to be represented. Asked to Join. The Jefferson-Lincoln League of which James A. Edgerton of Wash- ington is president, was one of those organizations invited to co-operate. The invitation explained that the league's co-operation was sought be: cause of the league’s “fundamental purposes” was assisting “the protec- tion and enforcement of the prohibi- tion laws.” The names of William G. McAdoo, former Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma and David G. Roper, who was commissioner of internal rev- enue under President Wilson, were being mentioned in connection with nominee for the presidency of the United States. D. Leigh Colvin, na- tional chairman of the prohibition party, said that “a prominent dry democrat” from the south was un- der consideration for the nomina- tion. Not in Accord. Colvin indicated that the prohibi- tion party and the Anti-Saloon League were not in accord on the question of proper political proce. dure in the approaching campaign. The Anti-Saloon League, he said, would not participate in any plan for organization of a third party BELIEVE GERMAN BAG LANDED ON MOUNTAIN UnofFicial Tabulations Give Victory to French Bal- loon “Blanchard” Detroit, July 3 (®—A balloon re- ported stranded on a mountain slope near Big Island, Va., was believed don Bennett International ~ balloon race to be the German bag, Mun- ster. the only unreported balloon of the 12 which started in the race from Detroit Saturday afternoon.

Unofficial scoring shows that the Blanchard covered only 15 miles more airline distance than did the United States army balloon, which landed at Kenbridge, Va. and that the army bag traveled only 20 miles farther on an airline than did the German bzg, Barmen, which came down at Chase City, Va. The Blanchard, French balloon, was given first place unofficially among those that have landed, hav- ing negotiated a distance of approxi- mately 475 miles airline from the starting point.

Dallas, Tex,, July 3 (@—Texas democracy todzy Jaced new threats of a split following announcements by two candidates for high state offices that they would not support Gov. Alfred E. Smith for president. State Senator Thomas B.
