* Commissioners §2,600 each, bthe vote was put MAYOR ANGRY — “ATR, GROUT Lively Row at Board of Esti mate Meeting—Civil Service Commissioners to Get Sala- rles Hereafter, SARCASTIC ALLUSION TO “CONGRESS RULES.” Mayor Carried His. Point, How- ever, and There Was a Marked Chilliness Between Him and the Comptroller, ‘The ines of political demarkation In he Board of Estimate were emphasized at the meeting to-day, when the matter of paying salaries to the Clvil-Service Commissioners came up, Comptroller Grout and President Lit- tleton, of Brooklyn, weer lined up for @ few moments to oppose the payment of salaries on the scale suggested. Then the Brooklyn President broke away, Jeaving the Comptroller to fight his own battle, The Mayor took an active and predominating art In the controversy, which included n sirarp tilt between the Mayor and Comptroller over the ques- tion of Parliamentary law. When the Comptroller was bowled out by the pre- ponderance of votes the Mayor sald, sharply: “Hereafter, when the voting |e in progress, I shall permit no debate.” . This was intended for the Comp- troller and President Littleton, who had sought to explain their vote while the count was being taken, The Comp- troller turned, {n surprise, and sald quickly: Sharp Retort for Mayor, “Since when did this Board adopt the rules of Congress?’ ‘This was a body blow for the Mayor, but he came back with: ‘This body fulidtlonates under strict parliament- ary law, and I propose to have strict parliamentary observance.” With that his gavel hammered the desk, and throughout the rest of the meeting there was chilliness between the Mayor end Comptroller, President Fornes started the trouble by moving that the Committee, com- prising his sole self, be dismissed from further consideration of the matter of ranting salaries to the Civil-Service mmissioners, He explained that he was prepared to yote for a salary of $6,000 a year for the President of the Commission and $5,000 for each of the other two members. Had there not been a recent change in the Commis- gion, he added, he would vote for a lower salary, but was opposed to re- duoing the salary of an official already holding office, Comptroller Grout came back with an amendment that, the salary of the Presi-/ dort be made $5,000 and those of the Mayor Voted (No.” "No," almost shouted the Mayor when bit the Comptroller voted “ayo calmly and was supported by President Littleton, Tho others voted with the Mayor and tho amendment wag) declared lost, President Baker, of the Civil Service| q Commission was prevent, and Comp- troller Grout asked him how he pro- posed to pay the additional money, “By curtailment,” was the answer. “By curtailment do you mean dis- ing of certain employees now In your department?" if “That just about explains ft," an- pwered President Baker, “It that ia the cage T shall not only vote ‘no’ to the original resolution, but I will here dectare that such a step ts ‘& grossly improper thing for the city to do, I shall not only be registered In the negative but I shal! protest against Buch actton and ondeavor to test its legality, It is not right,’ sald Comp- troller Grout. The Mayor banged his gavel and the resolution was put to the final vote, President Tittleton voted aye and the Measure wis adopted, —————_—_ WOMAN HOUNDED BY DETECTIVES Mad Two Private Stenths Arrested for !ollowlagx Her, and Mag intrate Warns Them, Mrs. Marie Stetthelmer, young woman, handsomely dressed aid wearlng considerable Jewelry, appeared before Magistrate Barlow In the West Bide Court to-day and asked that two private detectives be prevented fron ehadowing her, The detectives, who had beon arrested, sald they were Jo-| @eph Clark and Thomas Williams, ' Mrs, StettheImer sald she lived at No. | 240 West One Hundred pnd Second treet and that the two detectives had kept her under constant survell- lance for the last month.
