Faces Vague Charge of Misconduct NO DETAILS GIVEN Major Gjested Follows His Resignation With An Open Declaration to Expose What ? (AaucUti-d mm Ltued Wire.) SAI.EM, Ore., Feb. 3. Major Charles E. GJedsted, for four years chief assistant to Adjutant gener al George A. White of the Oregon National Guard, who yesterday suddenly quit his post without a word of explanation from himself or the adjutant general, today sub mitted his resignation In writing to the adjutant general from Port land. In addition, he forwarded a letter to Governor Pierce in whlrh he declared that he resigned "In that I can feel free to bring to your attention certain Irregulari ties committed by the adjutant general in his administration of the department. "Specifications covering irreg ularities referred to will be sub mitted to you in due course at your command for such action as you may deem proper," continues Major GJedsted In his letter to the executive. Neither the letter to the governor, his letter of resigna tion to General White, or a formal letter which he gent to all offic ers of the national guard advising them-of the resignation glvf ny particulars as to the cause of the resignation or his split with the department GJedsted charges In his letter of resignation to the adjutant general that "when subservience is required in preference to service and when the spoken word of the head or a department becomes, to put it very mildly, unreliable, then it is time for anv self-respecting Individual to separate himself from such conditions. This I now do without any regrets whatsoev er." Major GJedsted asserts In his letter to White and his letter to the officers of the guard that "on July 26. last, after a heated ses sion during which I tendered my resignation, you requested the withdrawal of my resignation and asked me to 'forget' the circum stances in connection therewith, and I In good faith gave you my promise I have kept to this day to do so, and when you proferred your hand to bind the compact, I did not believe that you would so far demean yourself as to break that faith. However, Just as soon as you deemed it expedient to do' so. you not only have broken faith and repudiated other promises you had mode besides, but went to further extremes in an endeavor to Justfy your actions. In view of the circumstances I must ask you to release me from any promise I have made with regard to your self and. in event of your failure ... mn n tho mnlTnrV 1 will of course consider myself re- 1 leased and free to do as I may deem expedient. , Return to Eocene !

SOME SERUM FROZEN More Medicine to Follow . by Relay of Steamer, Railroad and Airplane. (AncUtd Presi Lfvitd Wire.) NOME, Alaska. Feb. 3. Fatigu ed from two days' loss of sleep and exhausted from driving a team of dogs sixty miles through a blinding blizzard for seven and one half hours in order to deliver 300.000 units of diphtheria anti toxin to this town yesterday, Gun nar Kasson was still sleeping early today. Kasson accomplished a feat sel dom attained by seasoned mush ers of the Bub-Arctic. For two days he waited on the trail at Illuff with thirteen dogs, headed by Balto, of the Hammon Consol idated Gold Fields company , to transfer serum shipped from An chorage via Nenana from Olsen's relay team. Leonard Seppalla, undefeated musher of the north, met a relay team at Shaktoltk, east of Norton Sound, and carried the anti-toxin to Oolofnln, on the north shore of Norton Sound, Ber ing Sea, where Olsen awaited him. Despite s temperature of 28 de grees below zero and a blizzard fanned by a stiff wind, Kasson mushed on. The storm and dark ness prevented him from meeting Fred Hohn at Solomon for the last short relav dash Into Nome. He kept up the pace, however, and reached here at daybreak. Four dogs in his team were badly fro zen. Rohn arrived before noon from Solomon after he learned Kas son had missed him. No word has been received from Seppala. The ! former Finnish athlete is expected to return slowly, resting at vil lages to feed his tired dogs. A portion of the serum, frozen on Its arrival, was thawed out yes terday afternoon and used on pa tients. Dr. Curtis Welch said he (Continued on page 2 ) " of """ sort"of snsesthetlr.

COMPLAINTS HEARD City Council Holds Busy Session Considering Many Important and Rou-' tine Matters. An ordinance which will re quire contractors and builders to clean up their rubbish after con struction work is being consider ed by the city council, and will probably be submitted at the next meeting. This ordinance will pro vide that persons desiring to use the streets for storing building materials or for mixing motar or cement, must obtain a license to do so, and that the application for license must be accompanied by a deposit of $10. If the streets are cleared and cleaned promptly the full $10 will be returned, but If the litter is not removed then the street cleaning department will do the work and the $10 or such part of It as is needed will be used to clean off the pave ments. This ordinance Is deemed ne cessary In view of the great rush of building operations planned for this year, coupled with the fact that some contractors have been very careless In this regard In the past. The greatest trouble Is where concrete is mixed on the pavement. If not cleaned off promptly. It hardens, and then It Is almost Impossible to sweep the street, and the brooms used on the Bweeper are badly torn up as a result. Several times the mem bers of the street force have been required to spend many hours of tedious labor removing the ce ment with a pickaxe, the cost to the city amounting to several dol lars in each case. By requiring a license the city can regulate the placing of build lug materials in the street and can prevent streets from being blocked or traffic Interfered with. and at the same time will have the assurance that the contractor will upon completion of his work, leave the streets In a clean con dition. The council meeting last night, at which this proposed ordinance was discussed, was a busy one, there being a large number of im portant and routine matters brought up for consideration and action. Frank Warner appeared and nsked for an Investigation of the assesment on the Block 53 sewer. He claimed that he had been un justly assessed and that the amount charged against his prop erty was not In proportion to the others. The committee on city Improvements will Investigate the claim. Al Creason appeared with an offer to purchase some of the city's holdings in North Roseburg i if the city will clear the title. The matter will be taken up with the j city attorney for legal advice. The Coen Lumber company I presented a communication sup-1 plementing their petition for the : vacation of a portion of Floed and Short streets. This matter of vacating the two streets is to he heard at the regular meeting of the council on February 16. The company finds that the railroad company will not permit the use of their present storage track as a loading spur, and consequently a new spur must be built In, which will greatly crowd the prop erty. A petition for an alley side walk on East 3rd street. North, was referred to the committee on city Improvements. A request for a street light on Spruce street, was referred to the committee on electric lights.

The committee on health and police reoorted that It had thor oughly Investigated the proposi tion of maintaining the city dump ground, and recommended that the city place a man In charge with authority to collect 25 cents for each load hauled In, and that he be privileged to convert any of the discarded refuse to his own gain, and that In return for this privilege that he contract to keep the grounds clean. The committee on electric lights recommended that a light be placed on North Pine street, a t short distance south of the Lln ser property.

Flovd Collins early today lay In the mole like hole In San Cnve, waiting for some one, some thing, to release his foot, held down by a hnee boulder, which fell upon It when ne was exploring the cave Friday morning. For 24 hours he was alone, the constant drip, drip, drip of water from melting snow and Ice on the surface growing more deadly mon otonous hour by hour by hour. Saturday he was found and since that time scores of men have tried In vain to rescue him.
