Mayor Vetoes Ttepeal. ' SS.VT.KM. Or., July 8. Speeial.) The action of the city council In abolish ing tbf position of police women has can. sp1 much excitement In ' the capi tal city. Friends of Mrs. Leila Lynch, who Ma police-woman, have rallied to her pup-port and a, fight to the finish Is looked for. All ministers of the city are arrayed on her side, and while many of the prominent women are acainat her, all are agreed that the city should have a police-woman and a police matron. Mayor Steeves. who is a champion of Mrs. Lynch, today vetoed the action of the City Council which repealed the ordinance providing for a police-woman and a police matron. The motion to repeal the ordinance was carried by a vote of nine, to five, and the Coun cilmen who deeire the retirement of Mrs. Lynch say the ordinance will be carried over the Mayor's veto. Mean while Mrs. Lynch ie surtrve and bo are prominent members of the women's clnb. "There Is plenty of room for women on ur -police force," said Mrs. Richard Ca.iH.wir I jftat, a member of the women's club., "If Mrs. Lynch did not make a uccens of her work the thinj? for the City Council to do Is to find a sult h able person for the position. 'By all means it should not be abolished. I think Mrs. Lynch was' over zealous. "A imrta.in class of women find need jrf a woman on the police force," said Mrs. Oaylord H. Patterson, wife of the dean of liberal arts in the Willamette University. "In larger cities they have police-women aod alera should have them." Mrs. William H. Flemmins, presi dent of the Woman's Club, championed the cause of Mrs. Lynch. She declared that Mrs. Lynch had aided the morals of the people of the city. "Mrs. Lynch should be complimented for her work," declared Mrs. - Stem ming. "Instead of being dismissed. A woman should have a place on every offiolal board of the city. A. woman Is especially needed . on .oar school board, and by all means competent one should, have a place in the City Council." Other members of the club said that the city should have a police-woman, and it Is probable that the club as a whole at Its next meeting will adopt a resolution insisting upon the Coun cil abrogating its action in repealing the ordinance. Members of the Coun cil who voted for the repeal of the ordinance say they did so because Mra. Lynch was acting as a detective In the interest of Mayor Steeves, and Councilman Mlnton instead of perform ing the duties which were named in the ordinance providing the position. MARTIN AND HOLM AN CLASH County Auditor and Commissioner 1)11 fep on Keeord Keepiifg. County Auditor Martin has secured through the good graces of County Commissioner Holman a new record hook whieh the Auditor says he doesn't want and for which he won't pass the bill. Mr. Martin declares that he is keeping hia records according to law and in good shape and that he fails to see anything in the law telling him to take instructions from the County Commissioners on how to run his office. This provides the opening chapter of what promises v to be a quite sizable rumpus between the two county offi cials. The book which has been sup plied Mr. Martin is evidently for the purpose of keeping a record, of pur chases made by the county, but Mr. Martin says that he already has good records on this subject and that, any way, if the County Commissioners want such a book kept their purchasing agent, C. A. Nelson, should look after it.- TRACK CASE TO BE HEARD Commissioner "Daly to Review Peti tion From South Portland.

Supreme Court Benders Decision In Case of John B. Goddard, Who Has Served None of Sentence. SALEM, Or., July 8. (Special.-) The State Supreme Court today, in the case of the State against John B. Goddard, of Multnomah County, decided that a paroled person not affirmatively ac cepting the conditions imposed has a right of appeal. Goddard was con victed of criminal attack and sentenced to serve 20 years in the penitentiary. He was immediately paroled. He now desires to appeal his case. Chief J ustice McBride, who "wrote the opinion, savs: "Beyond the fact that the defendant has not attempted to break into the penitentiary, there is nothing to indi cate hat he has accepted the parole. It' was made a part of the judgment, and its conditions In themselves con stitute a semi-imprisonment. . . The conditions constitute a serious abridgment of the liberty of a citizen, and. until it is shown that he has ac cepted them affirmatively, we . think that he should not be held to have waived his right of appeal."
