Se w York, Nov. 20. —The Bureau of .Standards of the Board ot' Kstrmate which fixes ail salaries in municipal de partments, has decided that $1,200 a year is the living wage iu New York City. In a report yesterday to the Board of Aldermen, the Bureau stated that the $1,200 a year salary is taken as the basis for what is termed higher and lower grades of work. The report gives the results of work of nearly a year and officially disap- j proves of quick action in salary raises. | By establishing a system of regular! periodic increases based upon •length of service and efficiency records in the low er grades, and in the higher grades upon length of service and efficiency records it is estimated that a substan tial equality in salaries will be brought about in a period of seven or eight years. "Owing to conditions apparently in herent in eit.v employment under civil service restrictions," gays the report, "it is necessary to paj' a compensation of from ten to twenty per cent, higher than that which is paid in private em ployment." The Patriot's Feed "I think I will take a little fish, waiter.'' * "Yes, sir. Bluefish or whitefish, sir?" "Bring me a little of each and also a portion of red snapper.

Twenty-seven hundred admis sions were recorded yesterday, a num ber almost double the day previous. So far more than 6,500 persons have j seen the show. The show, which is held iti connection with the welfare and efficiency confer- I ence, will likely bo repeated again next year, as John Price Jackgonj Com j inissioner of Labor and Industry, yes terday announced at the closing session iof the convention that a conference I would be held next year. Already j manufacturing linns are engaging space I for next vear. The show has been a success from the start, although it was crowded in a hall much too small for it. What was lacking in size more than made up in interest and the show managers, a« well as the exhibitors, aro pleased with it, A concert by Updegrove's or chestra will be given again to-night. The »how will close at 10 o'clock. The closing session of the Pennsyl vania Industrial Welfare and EiHcieucy Congress, held in the House yesterday, atfternoon, was presided over by James Maurer, president of the State Federa tion of'ljabor, and in taking the chair Mr. Maurer paid a high tribute to Dr. John Price Jacksou, Commissioner of Laibor and Industry, and his force, who have contributed so largely in making the department a success. The depart ment, Mr. Maurer said, was one that ought to be highly appreciated, and the sincerity of its official is highly commended by organized labor. Front the Commissioner down to the lowest department attache all are eager to serve, and he hadn't a single criticism to make. Mr. Maurer deplored the fact that there are not enough deputy in spectors to conduct the . work along broader and more efficient lines, and said that 50 men could not be expected to do the work. Mrs. Samuel Somple, of Titusville, gave a most interesting talk concerning the Pennsylvania Industrial Board from a woman's point of view, and was followed by F. 11. Bohlen, secretary of the Industrial Accidents Commission, who gave hts views of what a working men's compensation law should be. lie advocated the control of a State insur ance fund for at least two years. F. H. Walker, of Beaver Falls, represent ing the manufacturers, maintained that there Should be a State fund to be usod in the payment of such compensations, but this was opposed by Carl M. Han son, of Now York, representing the New York Commission Bureau, who said a State fund could not be established. Francis Feehan, member of the State Industrial Accidents Commission, spoke earnestly in the advocacy of an indus trial accidents law, and remarked that the next Legislature would be certain to enact one of a satisfactory character in view of the defeat of the one pro posed in 1913. Commissioner Jackson announced that another conference will be held next year in this city and expressed the highest satisfaction at the success of the one just closing. He asked that the delegates go home and profit by the discussions of the past throe days.

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY Continued From Flrat Pa**. concentrate their energies at the pres ent stage of tlie war toward dealing, if possible, » crushing blow.to Russia. Such fragmentary reports as were re ceived to-day irom the eastern zone of fighting showed that the German army was Bull pressing the Russians back through Russian Poland, over the same battlefields across which the Russians a few weeks ago were advancing vic toriously. No clear explanation has been made of the reversal in form of opposing armies, although it has been reported on several occasions that the Germans wore sending thousands of their finest troops from France and Bel gium to the east. The Russian war chiefs state that their advance In east Prussia and Ga licia continues, in spite of their admit tea retreat in the center. German j strategists believe that continued re verses in Russian Poland would force I the Russians to draw back their north- I ern and southern armies. German opinion admits of no doubt as to the outcome of the war with Rus sia. General Vcn Hindenburg, Ger i many's populai hero of the fighting in the east, is quoted as saying that Ger many and Austria will win, although outnumbered, because they have strong ; sr nerves and because their soldiers do their own thinking, while Russian dis cipline is "a mere blind and dull obedi ence." ' Resides the possible withdrawal of German troops for use against Russia, there is another reason for the lull in the fighting in the west. Cold, wet weather has numbed and exhausted the soldiers so that great physical effort is almost out of the question. The weather in Belgium is compared with a black, windy December day on the New England coast. The storm con tinues and the waters of the North sea flow through the locks at Nieuport, which tho allies opened to flood the low lands and hold back the German ad vance. Notwithstanding the extent of the flooded area, the invaders hope to re new their advance. Large numbers of engineers are being sent to tho front, and German ingenuity is to be put to the test to provide a scientific method of crossing the inundated country. The outcoma of yesterday's naval battle In the Black soa is still In doubt. No fresh imormation was received to reconcile the conflicting claims of Rus' sia and Turkey, each of whom asserted : that a hostile battleship had been dam j aged seriously In the engagement.

Philadelphia, Nov. 20. —The Bel gian Conunittoe for the Relief of des titute Non-Combatants reported to-day total receipts in excess of $41,000. Of this amount SII,OOO was sent to tho Belgian minister in Washington who forwarded it to his country. This was before the local committee was advis ed by the American committee in Lon don to send food instead of money. The American committee for Bel gian relief in Loudon consists of Am bassador Waiter H. Page, Brand Whit lock, Minister to Belgium, and Dr. Henry Van Dyke, Minister to Holland. This committee sent to the Philadel phia committee a schedule of food which it desired to bo sent according to percentages therein given. The local committee is now spending $30,000 for food according to the official sched ule and this will be shipped on the Orn. Only a few hundred dollars re mains in the fund, but this and all receipts up to the sailing of the Orn, will be expended for food according to schedule. The committee is getting the most favorable prices and not one cent of the receipts will be used to pay any expense in connection with raising or spending the fund. Many contributions have come from up the State and New Jersey. The committee once more appeals for all the sums which the generous public can spare to be sent to Charles C. Harrison, Jr. & Company, treasurers, Laftfyette building, Philadelphia, so as to send all food possible on the Orn. The committee will continue its operations Uuriug the entire, winter and will ship food regularly cither by chartered steamers or by regular lines as circumstances may determine. Up- State committees which are buying their own food arc requested to com municate with tlie committee in Phila delphia. Spoiled His Chances " Why don't you propose to that girl?

Seitz, for the City, to make bet ter progress, but it appeared that the 'more the attorneys tried to hurry the less speed they made. Witness Went to Luncheon Ten minutes before the time for noon adjournment the Citv Solicitor an nounced he had three witnesses yet to call, but. none responded. They had gone home for luncheon, presumably, and Judge Johnson sought to close the case. 80 did Mr. Ha in. The lawyer lor the plaintiffs said he was willing to admit just what the City Solicitor re marked the witnesses would say. ''Their evidence would be cumula tive,'' said Mir. Hain. "I will admit What you say they would testify to." "'I don't want you to admit any thing, and I don't care what you will admit,'' the Citv Solicitor. "I want to put those witnesses on the stand, and I insist upon my right." "Then you shall have' it," added Mr. Hain, smiling. The City Solicitor by noon had ex amined nineteen witnesses, the majority of whom dealt with the values of the plaintiffs' property before and after the City took the ground in question for making improvements. Generally they valued each parcel 'before tho im provement work at from $2,800 to $3,200. The improvements included the street opening, tho building of the intercepting sewer and an additional lateral sewer, tho construteion of the river wall and step.; and the laying out of the boulevard. After the improve ments the value of each property, most of the witnesses estimated, would be in creased aobut S2OO. One witness li.\ed the increase at SIOO, while an other said there was no change in th» valuation. The property owners eJaim SI,OOO damages each. The Questions Involved Judge Johnson at noon said the i? sue upon which the jury lirat will pas* has dwindled down to a question of whether or not the Citv, in opening South Front street, actually took pnxp erty from the plaintiffs, or, if the ground wtw held by the plaintiff's through a qualified title and by reason of "waterways and navigation" legis lation, they were not in aibsoluto con trol of it, so that they could not suffer lamages by losing it. William I). Block and David H. El linger, for more than fifteen years sani tary officers employed by the city, this morning declared the ground taken by the city had been an old dumping ground for tin cans, ashes, dead ani mals, rubbish and other refuse, and that, it had been considered a breeding spot for much disease—typhoid fever, diph theria and smallpox—in that district. When the City Solicitor sought to ask Mr. Block a hypothetical question dealing with conditions along the river front, between the time the Pennsylva nia Reduction Company began the col lection of garbage, about Ave years ago, and May, 1911, when tho street improvement work was begun, Mr. llain objected to ''counsel leading the witness.'' Lawyers in Fresh Wrangle "1 have not overstepped my rights one per cent, as much as you have," snapped back the City Solicitor. With Mr. Kllingcr on tho stand, Mr. Hain, on cross-examination, sought t« know what the conditions along tho river front would have been if tho city had constructed a sewer in that local ity "years before it did in 1911." "That's folly to ask a question like that," interjected the City Solicitor. "Now I have not cross-examined these witnesses as you did, and I insist upon my rights," shot back the plain tiffs' counsel. "No, it's uot a legitimate question," put in tho Judge. "The witness need not answer it." Ten minutes later, Daniel Sheesley, a real estate agent, who said he. lives in "Sheesleytown," declared that tho properties of the plaintiffs were bene fitted t-o the extent of S2OO by th® im provement. Then Mr. Hain wanted the witness to assume that the plaintiffs, before tho street was opened, had a right to use the ground taken by the city for any purpose whatsoever, so long as they did not interfere with "navigation and fish cries." and having those ideas in mind, fix his opinion of the property values; but Mr. Sheesley would not fix an amount. Be said: "I can't see w"hero they could put any buildings." Twice Mr. Hain asked the same ques tion and received the same reply. Then he put it to the witness the third time saying: "Now I want you to be fair. Don't be evasive." The City Solicitor was on his feet. Simultaneously Mr. Hain said: Urges Seitz to "Keep Cool" "There you go again." "Oh, your honor," begged the So lictor, "I object to that remark. There certainly is reason for the other side inferring that the witness is unfair." "Keep cool now. Just you keep cool," suggested Mr. Hain, waving a hand toward Mr. Seitz. The court urged counsel to "go on," saying: "The witness is under oatk and wa believe lie is trying to be fdrr." Eventually Mr. Sheesley saiyl thu ground in question had no, com mutual, value.
