While Chief Hlckey has had no such Intention it Is piobable that his new and open-handed manner of making tip the estimate will not only give the members of councils a comprehensive Idea of the lire department's needs but will also encotiinne unusual support In provldltiK for the items In the esti mate. 1.. P. Heldler, chairman of com mon council's flit department commit tee, was chosen to preside over last night's conference, which was held in the common council chamber.

Is for $44,n-.'.",.r,7, an Inciease of but $ri.4S..:it. The incrcnt-e Is much smaller than Is usually asked for one. year as compaied with that Immedi ately pieeedlng and in the present case applies to only such details In th" way of equipment and repair as would be expected In the growth of the city and the effoit of the department to keep pace with it.

His parents can only guess at ll A mark on the boy's head (started the gossip among neighbors that some one had beaten him for a misdeed. Hut this was not titip for Mr. and Mrs. Cuff city mourn the loss of their boy as true loving parents do. II' would be fourteen yenis of age next August. Some people say that little James Cafferty was out skating Monday. He fell, they say, and hurt his head. An other story Is that he sllupfd on the sidewalk and struck his head against the frozen ground. Whatever It was the boy didn't coni- i plain any to his patents when he I came Into the house at 11 o'clock Mon- day morning. He was sick he said. He didn't leave th" house after that. i He went to bed Monday night, got ill) in the morning nnd hung around dur ing the day. "He never once mentioned a hurl to us," said the grief stilcken father yes terday. "We would have got a doctor If we thought Jimmie was very sick." "Yes." rejoined Mis. Cafferty. "he was happy and healthy. He didn't com plain at all. When I went In to see him this morning he put his arms mound me and kis-ned me. He said nothing even then of a hurt to his head. I don't know what happened h'tii." Coroner Longstieet viewed the re mains yesterday. He decided not to hold an Inquest as then was no evi dence of foul play. Just what caused the death will probably never h? known. The funeral will be tomorrow nf lei noon. AIRS. GEORGE B. HAND ENTERTAINS. (Jnve it Ton nt Her Home on .Idler ion Avenue I'or Her Daughter..

The pollie department has a chance to distinguish Itself In ferreting out j whnt a coroner s Jury believes to nave been a case of murder. A vet diet was reached lnt nljjht that John Frank, Jr.. who was found dylliK In the Lacka wanna river, Sunday morning. Dec. I'.i, enme to his deatli from the effects of blows upon the head and not from u fall, as was generally supposed The veidlct was based ehlelly upon the testimony of Coroner Longstieet, In his autopsy of the body he found on Frank's batteied head the best of cir cumstantial evidence that the young man was the victim of foul play. If Ibis testimony had been lacking there was abundant reason to suppose that Frank died from the effects of some thing other than a fall. On the Sunday morning: In question Frank was found moaning and mumb ling incoherently while silting In a kneeling position near the liver's shote below the Jersey Central tracks, near the Kim stteet bridge. It was sup posed he had fallen from the inltroad wall and had been stunned. He was taken in the patrol wagon to the cen tral police station, where he died In two hours. Police Surgeon Fulton hail been called to attend hlni, bill could do nothing to save his life. COltONEIt CALLKD. Frank's body was taken to Itaub's undertaking establishment on Spruce street and the case turned over to the coroner. It was ascertained that on Sunday night Frank was carousing In Polish saloons on the South Side and that 'Patrolman Sartor had taken hlin from the custody of two Polanders. Frank being sent toward the Klin street bridge on his route home to the West Side and his companions in another direction. On Tuesday three Polandeis, John Ku mar. John Olszurskl and (Icoige Her line, were arrested. The latter was discharged by Alder man Millar and the oilier two held for a heating on Wednesday and pending Investigation by the police. No evi dence against them was found and they wen released. Corner Longstreet discovered In his autopsy that Frank's skull had sus tained several fractures. It was "al most mushy," us he tlesctlbed it. The Injury was at the base of the skull, but the sealii was not cut, showing that a fall could hardly have caused the fracture. Theie was every reason to believe that Frank had been struck several times with some heavy instal ment that had a smooth surface. TUB JURY'S VKUDICT. The revelations of the nutopsv were made known to the coroner's Jury, who met last evening in the arbitration room at the court house. From this evidence, augmented by the knowledgi that Frank had been carousing and in bad company the night he met his death, a verdict was quicUly reached that he died from the effects of a blow or blows on the head at the hand of a person or persons unknown. The verdict will be made known to the police early this morning, and it Is possible that there may be further developments In the case. MAYOR BAILEY SIGNED THEM.
