Gaffney recently has Informed mem bers of the firemen's campaign committee 'that when he received from the Bureau of Municipal Research Ita findings on munic ipal salary standardization, his committee would take up the adjustment of firemen's pay. The frequent Iteration of this state ment led the firemen to bellee that In some measure their campaign's success depended upon the recommendation of tho Bureau of Municipal Research, Director" Gruenberg denies that his bureau has ever had, or now has, any thought of Including the firemen in Its standardiza tion work. "Mr, Gaffney," said Mr. Gruenberg, "has called t upon me and assured me that If he made the assertions attributed to him the statement wan an error. "During the last two years the Bureau of Municipal Research has repeatedly urged an eauallzatlon of nay for similar work ami a standardization of all other conditions of emnloyment under the city go eminent "The task Is so large, however, that If It Is to be performed In a thbrough manner only n part of It can be completed this Tear, "The fire and police services are the least In need of such an oerhaullng; m fact, they are the only two services that already Tiave the more important essentials or standardization, namely, un form titles, I "uniform pay and Uniform grading of all ,m positions nawng similar uuuen, ana ueiiinie "fwV I'nes f Promotion from the lower to the vX i higher ranks within each serv'ce.

GIBBONEY AIDS WOMAN TO OBTAIN A LICENSE Argues in Behalf of Equality of Sexes While Court Hesitates Over Transfer Several cases In the License Court In volvlns women prompted the court today to question the fitness of members of the weaker Bex to act as t-aloonkeepeis. Judges and law era engaged In a discussion of the question and D. Clarence Glbboney, head of tho Law and Order Society, helped one woman to win a liquor license by arguing for equality of tho sexes In the ease of Mrs. Cecelia Mitchell nt the southeast corner of Klghth nnd I'arrl'h streets, to transfer the license to Peter Stan ley, the Court was considerably Irritated by tho remark of Albert II Ladner, Jr., who said that Mrs Mitchell's placo was a men ace to the community, and that they wanted her to sell out to save the Imestment of $14,000 Judge I)als said- "If that Is the cave the license ought to be reoked What right hae we to say to this woman that we won't reoke your license, but wo will make ou fccll. You breuers (Mr Ladner represents brewing Interests) ask a good hit, but I think you are going the limit ths time." Judge Iia!s turned to Mr Glbboney and asked him why he didn't moe to revoke tho license, and Mr Ulbbony hjld he In tended to nt the next court. The petition to transfer was denied In the case of Otto Wolf, 282 Knst Glrard nvenue, to transfer to Miss Kiances Sehnef fer, Judge I)als said he did not think It was desirable for women to go into the iclnll liquor business Her counsel mentioned that this was a progressive ngo nnd Judge Ilnnatt said thai this was cer tainly a "progressive step." M" Glbboney said he believed In "equal rights" and thereupon the couit granted the petition.

Latzuch said that he didn't believe in ghosts, but that his neighbors did and that the printing of tho story had hurt his trade He also said much liquor was Illegally sold in the neighborhood nnd In this was borjio out by Mr. Glbboney, who told tho court there were sixteen disorderly houses, speak easles and bambllng clubs Imme diately around tho saloon Judges Davis nnd Barratt refused the petition, however, saying that I.atzusch's remedy wras to get damages from whoever circulated the ghost 2 20fcrlO?
