Others member of th commute took th view that his plan waa not very feasible, for th reasons that th amount named la too email to be ef fective and that the market block la not big enough apace. They all said they favored the publlo market aystem. and finally voted to refer It to City Engineer Hurlburt for the ubmlsslon of plans and a statement of how much It win cost.

Klalr. the former a detective some years ago and tb latter a patrolman. Asleep a Beat Caaraed. The Chief, when asked If ha would recommend Eberman. said he would not: that ha knew ao little of his of ficial life that he would not recom mend htm. but that ha would not do ' anything to hinder his reinstatement. H said he knew of nothing; that would be sufficient to keep blm out of the service, although ha recalled that Pat rick Bruin, at on time Captain of De tective and Inspector of Police, had filed several charges against Eberman and that Eberman quit while a chare of sleeping- on bis beat waa lying aralnst him. Eberman. however, had a roost un savory record and waa constantly In trouble, aa the record of the depart ment show. H en its tted In a fist fight one. night with women In a Park-street resort and was taken to the itatlon along- with them, but he afterwards smoothed out thla difficulty. A. P. Armstrong, on of the commis sioners, after asking Chief Slover If h would recommend Eberman. said that he would take It for granted that the Chief had no objectlona to the man. and moved that he be reinstated. Com missioner Logan seconded the motion, but after It was announced aa having carried, said that would Investi gate and. If he found anytMng wrong In the record of th patrolman, he would move for a reconsideration. James F. Anderson also wanted to be reinstated and tha Chief waa asked about him. .tadrraea's Case Walts.

Commissioner Armstrong said he could scarcely se why a man should be regarded as personally all right, but not officially. "Why Is a man any better, working for a private Individual than for the city" asked Mr. Armstrong. "Worklnsr for the Individual, be can be fired' at any time." said the Che.f. "but If he la under the city, yon can hardly get rid of him: furthermore, he Is not clothed with such great au thority when working for a private concern." Chief Slover aald that be wanted to be careful as to how h recommended men for reinstatement -Vou see." said the Chief. "I am try ing to clean things up some In the department, and I have to go pretty slow about making recommendations for reinstatement. I don't want to have to 'back pedal. aa the saying , goee." The commissioner decided that they ; would have Mr. Anderson before them at their next meeting and ask htm about the case. Andrew U. Vaughn waa reinstated as a detective In the police department.

Thla action waa taken because It la alleged that some departments have been asking for new examination in order to get certain men In line for work, and It waa regarded aa a very poor plan. It was said that aome men had waited for thre or four year for work, after passing an examination, only to find that others, passing It later, had been put to work. City Engineer Hurlburt waa directed to ascertain how much crushed rock the city Is getting from the Llnnton rock quarry. The city was to get a certain per cent of all the rock crushed there, after the municipality took It over and worked city prisoners there.

Hawks, president of the Child Welfare League, yesterday replied to the charges of E. H. Whit ney, ex-prlnclpal of the Ladd school, that the finances of the Ladd school pupils' entertainment at the Helllg Theater last December bad been care lessly handled. Mrs. Hawks enters a vigorous denial that there was sny mismanagement of the affair or Jug gling of the funds. Mr. Whltner last night made a state ment In which he exonerated Mrs. Amelia Taylor from any blame In con nection with the management of the affair aaylng that he had no Intention of accusing her of any shortage. Accusation Xot Intended. ! did not accuse Mrs. Taylor of be ing short In her account In the Ladd school entertainment held last Decem ber and had no Intention of doing so," said Mr. Whitney. "Furthermore. I have nothing further to say, as I made my statement to the teachers' commit tee Tuesday afternoon." Mrs. Hawkes last night Issued the following statement of her side of the controversy: "The article in your paper relative to the meeting of the School Board commute with the committee of the Child Welfare League of the Ladd school, conslst'ng of Dr. Benjamin Toung, Dr. T. 1L Walker, Mrs. A. Tay lor, secretary, and myself to ask for the opening of the school building for social purposes Is certainly misleading. Th real object of the meeting was ob scured by this lengthy and uncalled for attack. "The atatements made by the ex school principal are certainly Insinuat ing and If aome explanation is not given will not only create a false Im pression of our league, but of its offl cers, myself Included. Fellow-Workers Praised. "Permit m to make a brief state ment in the endeavor to free my fellow-workers from censure. For my self, I am free to admit that being overloaded with responsibility I may have neglected some details, but I cer tainly claim the Integrity which tho article wouki seem to question. For my fellow-workers I have nothing but praise for their earnest co-operation and faithful performance of their self imposed duties. Now for the facts: I never met Mrs Garrison until shortly before her en gagement for this entertainment. We understood she had successfully pro duced the historical tableaux 'America' In other cities and. as we were desir ous of obtaining funds for our play ground and social renter, which we hoped to establish, we mod arrange ments with her. The time was short. It was the holiday season. The City Superintendent gave his permission for th children of th Ladd school to par ticipate and sell tickets with the un derstanding that the children of no other school should do so. 100 I Deposited. "We probably did not manage the affair in the most efficient way, but w gained over $100 which we deposited with the school clerk, as trustee, for our use. It Is a nestegg for the fur ther sura which we -trust will be ob tained for this purpose. It was ex ceedingly difficult at that particular time and at such short notice to ob tain sufficient workers to promote the success of the entertainment. It was Impossible for the few persons who worked to look after details closely. "The first tickets with wrong date were furnished by an advertising Arm and the error was the printers'. Those that were issued wer recalled and corrected, as I understand. "I was a resident of the Ladd school district for about two years prior to the time of my election as president of the Child Welfar .League and when I removed from there would gladly have resigned if someone qualified wouM hav taken up the work. Baslaeaa Men Thaaked. "Business men kindly co-operated with us. lending their automobiles for the distribution of advertising or we would not have been able to have made the entertainment a success In the short time at our disposal. "The Ladd school, as a school, has not received any money from us, but the Child Welfare League of that school has all the money that was col lected, minus the eipense. on deposit with th clerk of th School Board. The Child Welfare League felt that It was perfectly responsible for the conduct of the business of the enter tainment, although perhaps not thor ough In Its business methods on ac count pf the shortness of time. Every one connected with a voluntary work ofthia kind knows how difficult It Is to get accurate return? of unused tickets, but the Integrity of the work- ST.

"I do not claim to be a business wo man, but 1 am a persistent worker In any cause I espouse. I cannot con ceive how Mr. Whitney could assert my desire to be present at the coming convention In St. Louis. I certainly have never given voice to it nor had such a wish, and had such been my Intention I should have expected to pay my own way, as I did when I went to the Denver convention. Besides our little fund is not available for such purposes. Charge Held Preposterous. "The assumption that our league Juggled with its name on purpose that Its president might be sent as a dele gate somewhere is aa preposterous as the unworthy Insinuation that the money receipts were Juggled with. "A movement has been launched and is now farlly on foot that our pabllc schools should be open for social cen ters. I have worked persistently for this. But at the same moment a benef icent movement Is born. Its enemy Is conceived, and attacks commence. "To Injure those who have come to the front, to discredit their motives, to Impugn their honor, may be good politics, for opponents, but our league precludes hostilities and one of its ob jects is to Inculcate brotherly love and the kindred virtues, even toward those who are not In accord with us.

After an attempt to commit suicide by the inhalation of gas had been frustrated by the interference of an officer, Mrs. H. A.

She was revived after considerable difficulty and was taken to the County Jail, where she will be held pending an examination as to her sanity. The attempt yesterday is said by neighbors to have been the second at tempt both growing out of marital troubles. She had been married twice before her marriage to her present husband, and in each Instance domes tic infelicities caused her to seek self-destruction. The present attempt, say the neighbors, followed a quarrel with her husband in which she at tacked him with a butcher knife and caused him to Jump out of the window of their apartments on the second floor. ' . Tuesday night her actions made other lodgers in the apartments appre hensive and they communicated their suspicions to the patrolman on the beat. Yesterday afternoon she tola a woman having a room across the hall from hers that she was about to kill herself and bade her goodbye. She then sent her -year-old daughter, who II Baking G lives with her, downstairs, locked her self in a small room, opening on the dining-room, and turned on the gas Jet.

When Moses Cellvered the Command ments he had no thought of police men when he penned the seventh, and th'ey should be exempt from Its Iron clad law. At least, this is what the Civil Service Commission thinks, and by its action yesterday nullified its provisions. Chief of Police Slover, when asked why he would not recommend some men for reinstatement as policemen, said they were immoral; that they con sorted with evil women and that he re garded this as disqualifying them for the service. "I do not aeree with the Chief there, said John F. Logan, one of the Com missioners. "I do not believe the Sev enth Commandment was ever intended to be directed toward policemen. You can't eiDect a very high moral stand ing in a man whose business it is to catch thieves and chase thugs. All I insist upon is that a policeman be hon est In money matters.

"I was bothered with pimples and blackheads In the worst way for over four years. My face and arms were completely cov ered with them. The pimples would come out on my face and fester all up. They would scab over, and make' my face sore, besides being so disfiguring that I shunned my friends. I tried facial cream balms and benzoins with no effect. "One night I asked a friend what was good for pimples, and he advised me to try Cuticura 8oap and Cuticura Ointment which I did. I would wash my face first with hot water and Cuticura Soap, and then put on some Cuticura Ointment, let it stay on five minutes, and then wash my face again with the Cuticura Soap. It would draw the blackheads out as nice, and the pimples, oh say, it was one grand relief to go among my friends and be jolly again. After using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, my (ace is as smooth as if there never had been a pimple on it. I cannot speak too highly of the Cuti cura Soap and Ointment, and I hope others will profit by them as much S3 1 have. I know they will after giving thera just one trial." (Signed) Arthur . Caswell.
