Ousting of Old1 Officers Not Tried by Mayor's Uncon firmed Appointees. STATE AID NOT REQUESTED IHK aiOKiMXGLbKEGOXIAN. WEDNESDAY, JUIA 9,- 1913. CI at Councilinen Declare Contenders lor Official Recognition Will Not Re ceive Pay for Services and Deadlock Is Continued. THE DALLES. Or.. July 8. (Spe cial.) After ordering his unconfirmed police appointees last night to arrest on; member of the local police force who refused, today to give up his star and equipment belonging to the city Mayor J. E. Anderson modified his com mand today and Instructed his men not to arrest Chief Uibons and nis men and decided not to carry out his threat of calling for state aid to enforce his attempted ousting of Chief Gibons force. Since 6 o'clock this morning The Dalles has been patrolled by two sets of policemen and the row between the Mayor, who refused to compromiso on the matter of appointments, and tne Council is at a standstill. The Council contends that R. R. Mc Donald, who was appointed Chief, and U. L. Coleman, George W. Winkler, George Friel and John E. Dyball. who were selected by the Mayor for policemen,- have absolutely no right to serve, because they were not confirmed, and the seven opposing Aldermen have an nounced that .they will not pay them one cent, no matter how long they serve under Anderson. Charter Empowers Council. The Council, according to the city charter, has the only power to fix and order the salaries of the city's em ployes, and it appears as though An derson's appointees have little chance of drawing any money from the city for patrolling services. L. H. Arenson, who was appointed last night by Mayor Anderson as City Recorder and who received only one confirmative vote In the Council, made a formal demand this morning on Ke . corder Ross for all papers, books and keys connected with his office. Ross, acting on instructions of the seven op posing Councilmen, refused to comply with the demand. The new Mayor declared the positions of police officers and that of City Re corder vacant today and ordered his men to take possesssion. While his po lice appointees have been acting as patrolmen, the old officials have the new ones at bay when It comes to tak ing an active part In running the af fairs of the city. Jailer Carter, of Chief Gibons' force. Is the only person in the city who has keys to the Jail and he went to sleep tonight with the keys under his pil low, having orders to allow no one but the old officials to get Into the Jail. Recorder Holds Secret. Recorder Ross is the only man In The Dalles who knows the combinations of the vault and safes In the City Hall and he Is in supreme charge as Re corder. Police Judge McDonald and the rest of Mayor Anderson's men did not per form a single official duty today. Whether they could not find anyone to place In custody or were afraid they would get turned down if they at tempted to place anyone In the City Jail Is a matter of considerable amus ing conjecture here. The friction between the Mayor and the Council may never be taken to the courts, as was at first predicted. It is rumored that the Council will "stand pat" until Anderson's appointees are starved out and become tired of serv ing without pay. The Council bases its position on the following section of the city charter: "X vacancy in any office, except that of Councilman and Mayor, caused In any manner, must be filled by appoint ment by the Mayor, subject to con firmation by a majority of the entire Council; such appointee to continue in office until the first Monday in July "e,t, llowl"S such appointment and until his successor is elected and quali fied; provided such term of office may be sooner terminated by a majority vote of the Council." J mr GOVERXOU OFFERS MAYOR AID West Would Make The Dalles Ap pointees Special Agents. SALEM. Or.. July 8. (Special.) De claring that the old police have failed the Governor tonight made the police men, JppolnteTT byfayor Anderson, of The Dalles, special agents, and tele graphed the official that he will ren der him every assistance in his power. The Governor further said that the failure of the Council to confirm the appointments was another move to aid the dealers in intoxicating liquors and persons advocating an "open town."

DIAMOND'S JALE SCOFFED District Attorney Thinks Bank Rob bery Was Premeditated. ROSEBURG. Or.. July 8. (Special.) Following a private Interview here today, District Attorney Brown said there was no doubt that Ray Diamond, the youthful Glendale bank robber, premeditated the crime for which he must answer at the July term of Court District Attorney Brown said Diamond not only prepared a pack of provisions to nourish him while on the trail, but also selected his route of escape. The District Attorney says Diamond also used peroxide in an effort to dis color his hair.

Ranks, With Democrats Sign- . ing Under Other Parties. SALEM, Or., July 8. (Special.) As sertions of special writers of promi nence for Eastern magazines that the Progressive party is well organized and stronger than when Colonel Roosevelt was its candidate for President are not proved, so far as Oregon is con cerned, by the registration figures so far this year. The figures received to date by Secretary of State Olcott fronf 14 counties show that the nun Moose party has about 4 per cent of the total registration. As a matter of fact unless the Pro gressive party adherents are emulat ing the Democrats in registering one way and voting another, the new party will have a small following at the next election, if the present ratio keeps up. The figures show a return of Progres sive party men to the Republican ranks, with many Democrats pursu ing their old tactics . of registering as Republicans.
