YOFJfG ATTOR5ET DIES AT
HIS HOME IN PORTLAND
MONDAY NIGHT.
Accepting a suggestion by John F.
Logan, a member of the Civil Service
Commission, Ralph C Clyde, J. L. Led
wldge .and W. H. McMonles resigned
as members of. the Governing Board
of the ' Municipal Free Employment
Bureau yesterday afternoon.
John G. Schroeder, chief clerk, under
Ore on charge filed by the Board, and
who was discharged at their Instance;
by Mayor Rushlight, was reinstated.
There was a "string" attached to the
reinstatement and Mr. Schroeder Im
mediately resigned.
Mr. Schroeder, as a result. Is cleared
of the charges that were filed, but the
Commissioners agreed that he was not
now the proper person to have charge
of the office and that It was best
that he go with the members of the
Governing Board.
This leaves Assistant Clerk Rich
ardson in charge of the office as tem
porary chief clerk, but it is thought
probable that another appointment
will be made and that the position
of assistant clerk may be abolished,
as Messrs. Clyde and Ledwtdge de
clared to the Civil Service Commission
ers that the chief clerk needs no as
sistant, except the one who baa charge

Mayor Rushlight, chairman of the
Civil Service Commission, and P. L.
Willis. A. P. Armstrong and Mr. Logan,
the Commissioners, were agreed that it
would be the best solution of a vexa
tious problem if the entire Board of
the Free Employment Bureau would
resign. Mr. Logan made the proposal
and Mr. Clyde, as chairman of the
Board, assented, saying he believed It
would be best.
Mr. Schroeder. who Is widely known
as an athlete and a law student in this
city and state, was charged wtth in
competence, mismanagement of the of
fice and of neglect of duty, all of which
he denied. He set up the counter al

Schroeder Thinks Case Weak.
Mr. Schroeder said that he did not

Board, who placed the- charges against
him. had made out a good case. Mr.
Logan said he was of the opinion that
the members of the Board made out
sufficient case to show that the city
was not getting the best It should
get In the bureau and that he believed
the best solution would be the resigna
