A. F.I'GORLilCK BECOMES LIABLE FOR BIG PAY ROLL President of County Board, to Insure All the Employes' Salaries, Assumes Full Kesponsibility. EXECUTES 513,009 BOND lot a 1 A ou ii a ra 1 1 1 eed 1 Official Keaehes Including Tensions for Widows. QUORUM IS LACKING AT MEETING Alexander MeCormick, president of the county board, yesterday assumed personal liabilities RruauiitiDK to that 1.8CO county eiiipSeves might be paid their salaries Tor Felrusrj. In' addition to this the president executed a bond for that the widows' pensions for tto month might be paid by Deputy Comptroller Frank E.

Ryan. later MeCorniick gave a personal note to th comptroller for $S50 that the water bill of the county bill might be paid, thus securing advantage of rebate or $116, which was conditioned on the payment of the bUI during the day. The actiotj o. Mr. MeCormick is necessitated through four tho county commissioners being absent la Washington and preventing the securing cf the required number of votes on the county board to pass the financial items.

The commissioners left In the midst of the deadlock over the annual budget, consideration of which has been at a stand still since eariy SunJay morning, when the board adjourned after an all night session. It is necessary fcr the county treasurer to be notified to mt (he salaries of the county employes. cn.1 when'. Mr. MrOormlek found teal -the reinired nnmber of pvlesioners could not be scared to crder 'lie payment cither of the employes' sala ries, the widows' pensions or the county aler bill, he immediately made arrangements on fcfs own responsibility to have the money paid.

PAY nIX DIE TIESDAV. The pay roll was due Tuesday, and because the employes have only received 80 per cent of their salaries for December and January, pending the passage of the annual budget. It was necessary that action be taken at once to prevent Inconvenience and embarrassment to many of the employes, as well as those receiving the widows' pensions. In presenting hi3 preposition to the county treasurer Mr. MeCormick stated that be was supported his stand by all the Progressive commissioners, who "were willing to divide" with him responsibility In making any bond that was necessary.

The employes over whose salaries there has been no dispute In the county board are the ones- who will be paid today. "It Is unjust and unfair that the pay of the employes about whose salaries there Is no dispute should be delayed because of the tangle over 6ome of the positions," said President McCcrmick. "Also It is criminal to my mind that some of the commissioners willfully should prevent the passing of the pay roll by absenting themselves from the meetings. "Unwilling that this situation should continue I told the treasurer this morning to to ahead and pay the salaries of all employes not affected by the veto. I pledged myself to be solely responsible for the payment of these salaries should any litigation arf'e." DEbtl' IIItltGS SI FFERIVd, "Through letters and many other channels I have learned that the delay In the payment of the February salaries i bringing much inconvenience and.

In some instances, real Buffering to rounty employes. "None of them has been paid more than Srt per cent of the December and January salaries, and this reduction in their Income is now being felt keenly through the failure of the board to pass the February pay roll. This should have been done Monday at the latest. But some of the commissioners willfully absented themselves from the meetings and prevented a quorum from being present. The result Is that no pay roll has been no salaries paid and suffering la beginning among the employes of the county," added Mr, McCormlek.

For the board meeting yesterday Commissioner Fitzgerald, who has been seriously 111 for several days, arose from his bed and came to the board meeting In an automobile that -the necessary votes to pas the financial Items might be present. He arrived, however, too late to be present In the meeting1 before It adjourned because of a lack of a quorum. The lack if a quorum was due to tl.a fact that Commissioner Harris personally ordered Commissioner Nowak not to come Into the board room while the roll was being called. SIR XOWAK DOt: NOT ANXWF.lt. Mr.

Nowak was In the asteroom the assembly ball, and Mr. Harris, in the hearing of all the commissioners, called to Mr. Nowjk fo remain where he was not enter the hail. Mr. Harris then took fcl? r-eat and Mr.

THOuAS'lVIBOU LOSES FIGHT FOR ORCHESTRA' NAME TheChicago Symphony. Orchestra, Founded hy Theodore -Thomas," Decided Upon as Official Title. WOMAN BITTER ill PROTEST Says Recognition Ts Due Late Leader, AMiose Heii-sHade Sacrifice in flaking Gift of Lihrary. BOARD'S ACTION SAID TO BE FINAL The new name of Chicago's orchestra la to stay. was decided upon yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the executive committee ot the Orchestral association called for the purpose of considering a letter of protest from Mrs.

Rose Fay Thomas, widow of the late Theodore Thomas, the orchestra's first leader. A shcrt while ago the name of tho organization was changed from the "Theodore Thomas Orchestra" to -'Tho Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Founded by Theodore' Thomas." Yesttrday Mrs. Thomas sent a letter to the president of the board of trustees of the association asking that unless the name be restored as it 'was no mention fhouIJ be made of. Theodore Thomas. She also claimed that the new title i a misnomer in that Mr.

Thomas did not found the orchestra. At Its meeting the executive committee replied to this by showing ihat the orchestra practically bore tho oame name it now possesses In 1505. MH. THOMAS' LKTTEH. Mrs.

Thomas' letter follows: '381 PARK AVENUE. NEW YORK, March 1. To the President and Trustees of (the Chicago Orchestral Association Gcnllo- rnn: The announcement that the trustees of the Orchestral association contemplate' changing the name of the Theodore Thomas orchestra has shocked and pained me, as I am sure It must shock and pain every music lover who honors the memory of 'Theodore Thomas, and, although I am not officially connected with the association, I cannot refrain from protesting with all the earneatness of which I am capable against this act of injustice. Nor do- I think that the trustees now have the moral right to change the name without the consent of the Thomas family, after having accepted from us the great gift of the orchestral library- which we tendered, not to the Chicago orchestra, but to the Theodore Thomas orchestra. "This library ts the largest and most complete modern orcthstral library In existence, and represented four-fifths of Mr.

Thomps' entire estate. His heirs were not rich peopliT who could afford to lightly toss away the greater part of their Inheritance, but the contrary. sacrifice: is made. "But when we were assured that the orchestra was 'to be named after him we thought no sacrifice too great if we could thereby help to establish permanently the noble Institution which should preserve his name, and hla art standards to future generations. We did not make the retention of the name a stated condition of our gift, because such a thing was never heard of as an institution first honoring a great man publicly and later as publicly' reversing that honor, and It did not occur to us as even a possible contingency.

But the trustees are none "the less morally bound to do what la right and Just toward us in the matter, and cannot Justly nullify the whole object of our gift by changing the name of the orchestra now. "The proposal to call Mr. Thomas the 'founder of the orchestra is not feasible, for he did not found the Chicago orchestra. He founded the Theodore Thomas orchestra of New York? the Chicago orchestra was founded by its fifty original guarantors and he was simply its musical director, standing In the same relation to Its founders as Dr. William R.

Harper stood in relation to the founder of thu Chicago university. WOROS CALLED MOCKERY. "Nor should' the name of Thomas be left on the facade of the hall If the name of the orchestra is 'changed, for It would be as much of a mockery to keep the words 'Theodore Thomas Orchestra hall' on a building In which there was no Theodore Thomas orchestra as it would be to entitle him the founder of an institution which was founded by other men. "No, gentlemen; If the name of Theodore Thomas is no longer good enough for the orchestra which under his baton was raised to not only national but international fame, as the standard-bearer of American music, then I must respectfully request, as be would, were be here, thit bis name may also be. erased from everything else connected with the Chicago Orchestral association forever.

"Very respectfully yours, "ROSE FAY THOMAS. "(Mrs. Theodore Thomas)." REPLY OF This is the rejiy of the executive conc-mittee: "There I ro 'Kn ion ect and tVe tr. -s fir Mr. T'.

Palmer, intrepid sea dog and trencherman, but better known to the police as ''Colonel. George M. Dewey, United States Navy." was taken Into cua-today while "see-farlng" along West Madison street, neHr Clark. Palmer, who is something between a land admiral and a tea colonel, loves North Clark street better than he does the Navy, worships cabaret shows more than he does the music of the lapping waves and, more than all, he uotes on sea food. Palmer his victimized nearly every hotel in the loop by misrepresenting himself as "Colonel Dewey." He usually cruises into a cafe, orders an enormous repast sufficient for a whole crew and then signs the check with the air and grnce of a man who might Fay, "We have met the enemy and they are ours." During the conversation with the waiter be might drop a few remarks about "You may fire when ready, Gridley," or the beautiful scenery of Manila bay.

At all events Talmer has left about the loop a trail of unpaid dinner bills. He was detected yesterday by his unseaworthy walk by Policemen Kelly and Trant. John O'Rourke, hous? detective of the Hotel Sherman, and E. Weber, manager of the Union hotel and restaurant, both signed complaints against, tho "Colonel."

There are enough excitement seeking Americans, he says, who want to spend a night on the heaving crest to make the project pay good dividends. Mortinl claims to have sufficient Influence In Chicago and the outlying suburbs to float a proposition of this kind.

With the tinsel and the military pomp, th? cheers of the multitude, the stirring of bands an I the heavy tread of marching thousands, the fireworks and the lime light only a pleasantmemory; Wood row Wilson settled down in the chair of Presidents as quietly and with as little ceremony, probably, as almost any man who ever -crossed the threshold of the White House to become Its' master. His long day was crowded with incidents and filled with the flavors of power that is a President'. Almost his first act was to serve notice upon office-seekers that they will not be welcome at the White House, unless they have been Invited. Almost bis last tonight was a conference with John Kern, today chosen as leader of the Democrats In the Senate and reputed representative of the administration In the upper bouse. In between he found time to shake bands with close to 2.000 persons, consult wi funis new Cabinet and with a few friends In Congress, dictate letters and generally launch his own ship of administration.

Joseph P. Tumulty. Mr. Wilson's secre tary, was Just about as busy as his chief. He talked to the newspaper men stationed at the White House a half dozen times; dictated many letters, received the congratulations of scores of friends from New Jersey and talked with many prominent Democrats.

The Preldent upent tbe morning in his olHce; the afternoon in the White House at lsnehfoa and In the east room receiving delegations. At 4 o'clock he shut up shop and went out ulth Mrs. Wilson for his- first -automobile tide through Washington.

He brought with him Huntington Wilson, former assistant secretary of state, and the heacs of the various bureaus of the State Department, presenting them to the President. Secretary Bryan said there were some questions In the various bureaus which required the attention of the President at once, but that they concerned routine chiefly. For a few days at least President Wilson will sit behind the big mahogany desk In bis private office In a chair which was used by former Preeldent Roosevelt.

The chafr Mr. Taft occupied was shipped to New Haven. Before he ft the White House he ordered another bis successor, exactly like the one he used, but It had not arrived today. Tbe Roosevelt chair is old and buttered, but still good fjr service. President Wiit-jn b.

WASHINGTON. D. March 5. Wilson tonight approved the plan presented to him by Governor Dunne have tho Democrats In the Illinois Lfgis-liiture combine with the Republican members to elect Colonel James Lewis, Democrat, for- the long term Se n-atorshlp from Illinois and Lawrence Y. Sherman, Republican, for- tho short term.

The announcement of the President's views on the Illinois deadlock was mads by Governor Dunne at the end of an hour's conference with the new chief executive at the White House. Governor Dunne was exceedingly enthusiastic over the attitude cf President Wilson and over the resuils of his Interview. The Governor ma.le i.o eCort to conceal bis conviction that as toon as be returned to Illinois the project would be put Into execution and that the WLite House would surport the plan to the limit. The fact that Governor Wilson forced the election of Senator Marline in New because of primary ir.d.-rcf 'Gotrnor Dunne fed dent tl.ur. a by tho President of the United States, It should not be difficult to secure the election, by a bipartisan alliance cf two ir.ra indorsed by similar popular primaries iu Illinois.

BOKCHKSTEIX BLOCKS The other tig development of the day here with reference to the Illinois Senatorial deadlock came in tbe pass-age of a resolution by the Democratic committee, declaring It tte secse of the committee, that two Democratic Senates thouli be elected from Illinois. Natior ii Committeeman Charles Boescbeastela Illinois, however, r-uccessfully blocked a flan to send a committee from the nstionl organization to Springfield, to carry that resolution into effect. He del.tred that it would be resented there, and would cU-feU Its purpose. He agreed with the position, taken by Governor Dunte that only or. i Democrat can be elected.

He is the candidate for the short term. Governor Dunne tonight declared ttat the national committee was not roj'fJ to the real situation, ar.d declared that its resolution wocld have no effect it. County Treasurer William L. the Governor's political manager, anl Speaker William McKir.ley were present 8 the conference with the President, and both shared Governor's Dunne's enthusiastic views concerning th? result. IUNM-: CONKKKS WITH WILSON.

The conference lasted until almost 11 o'clock. When the Governor left the White House he gave out the following formal statement with the approval cf the President: "I have Just had a very Ions and pleasant and entirely satisfactory interview with the President, as the result of which I adhere firmly and emphatically to the position which I took openly in my statement to the public about two weeks sgo. "That position was, and now is. that the deadlock should be broken In the Illinois Legislature by electing James Hamilton Lewis to the long term and Judge L. Y.

Sherman to the short term. "I am satisfied that the test of loyally to Democracy which should ar.d will be applied by the state and natioi.al administration will be In adherence to the mandate of the people as exprtssed at the polls. 'President Wilson always has been srd now Is a strong believer In tbe prinei-le. Of course, if it were possible In Illinois today to secure the election of two Diino-crats, I woull be insittir.3 upon their el. c-tion.
