ALDERMAN HAS NO
CHANGE, IS RULING
District Attorney Sustains the
, School Board in Its Re
1 ! cent Decision.
REMOVAL ACTION IS LEGAL
City Superintendent Declines to
Comment on Edict Putting
Him at Head of War Work
,v of City Schools.
An opinion rendered late yesterday
afternoon by the District Attorney's
office to the School Board, sustains the
recent action of three directors in the
removal of City Superintendent Alder
man, as administrative head of the city
schools, to the iewly-created office of
superintendent of war work.
Prepared by Deputy District Attor
ney Pierce, and approved by District
Attorney Evans, the opinion declares
that certain state legislation gives the
School Board the power to appoint and
dismiss its employes at will, making
no exceptions in cases such as that in
which Superintendent Alderman Is in
volved. The action removing Mr. Alderman
to another sphere of work, against
which he has been vigorously contest
ing, was taken by the board at its
meeting July 5, when Directors Som
mer, Orton and Thomas, as a majority,
voted to oust Mr. Alderman. Declining
to abide by the order of removal, Mr.
Alderman declared his intention to re
tain the office by virtue of the con
tract he has with the school district,
which does not expire until July, 1919.
Claim for Salary May Be Made.
In commenting on the opinion last
night. Deputy District Attorney Pierce
said that while there is no doubt of
the board's authority to remove Mr.
Alderman upon the interpretation of
the substitute duties offered him rests
his claim for salary for the unexpired
term of the contract.
Mr. Pierce admitted that, even though
Mr. Alderman should be removed from
office completely, by his refusal to ac
cept the substitute position, he may
still be able to press successfully a
claim for salary in full until July. 1919.
Opinion la Lengthy.
The opinion, which was , handed to
School Clerk Thomas after closing
hours last night, is lengthy in its re
view of the case and summoning of ar
gument. Excerpts of particular inter
est are as follows:
"We find it necessary to secure an
understanding of the duties of the su
perintendent of war work and the
duties of the superintendent of schools.
The resolution is not explicit as to the
duties of the superintendent of war
work, further than to designate them
as all war activities of the schools.
but, on the -other hand, the duties of
the superintendent of schools are clear
ly defined in chapter six of the rules
and regulations of school district No,
1, Multnomah County. Oregon, as pub
lished in pamphlet form by the dis
trict. These rules and regulations re
quire that the city superintendent shall
be the administrative officer of the
district on all educational matters and
hall devote his whole time to the in
terests of the public schools of the
district: that he shall have general
supervision of the schools; shall advise
with the principals; hold grade meet
lngs of the teachers; appoint substitute
teachers and control the programmes
of his assistants and supervisors.
With these definitions in view we
are of the opinion that the resolution
has adequately expressed the board's
Intention In these 'particulars, at least.
namely, that Superintendent Alderman
is hereafter to confine himself to
supervising war work and that Mr.
Grout is to perform the duties of su
perintendent of schools.
Place In "One-Man" Job."
"It is not expressly stated that Mr.
Alderman is to have no share in the
work of supervising the schools, but we
are of the opinion that the assignment
of. Mr. Grout to these duties excludes
the idea that the board Intended Mr.
Alderman to have any further partici
pation in the duties of that office. This
follows from the fact that the office of
superintendent of schools, as outlined
by the rules and regulations of the
school district, is a 'one-man Job.' He
is the administrative officer .of the
district on all educational matters and
has control of assistants, supervisors
and teachers. The resolution therefore
has the effect of taking from Mr. Al
derman all participation in the control
of the schools.
"When the board later defines his
duties as superintendent of war work
it may be found that they are very im
portant and extensive, but in view of
the fact that he has been removed
from control of the schools, we are of
the opinion that the action of the board
cannot be regarded merely as a change
of rules, but that It amounts virtually
to a dismissal of Mr. Alderman from
the position of superintendent ofi
chools."
Board Has Authority.
The crux of the opinion is reached
after the quotation of several authori
tative cases, when the declaration is
made that "the board has unrestricted
control over the positions it distributes.
and may disregard the nature and the
terms of any contract, even though the
discharged employe may recover sal
ary in full." The paragraph asserts:
"It follows that in the exercise of
this unlimited control over Its officers
and employes, the board has the power
to dispense with the services of Mr.
Alderman whenever it sees fit, irre
spective of the nature and terms of the
contract which he holds. Such action,
perhaps, cannot deprive him of his sal
ary as fixed by the contract, but the
right to the office and the exercise of
its duties and authority terminated
when the board assigned it to another.
Mr. Alderman read the opinion last
night, shortly after it was received in
the office of the school clerk, but de
clined to make any comment upon It at
that time.

BENSON CHIEF IN DRAFT
MANAGER BERKEGGER GETS WISH
AIS'D WILI ENTER ARMY.
Previous Efforts to Get - Into TJ. S.
Service Were Dlscanraged at
All Points.
, E. H. Bemegger. manager . of the
Benson Hotel, has got his wish to be a
regular soldier and carry a -bayonet
for -Uncle Sam, and it wasn't his fault
that it wasn't granted sooner. A long
time ago Mr. Bernegger decided to go
Into the aviation service, but an ex
amining officer who got a glimpse of
his horn rim spectacles persuaded him
to abandon the idea. He claimed that
Mr. Bernegger could not Bee well
enough to pick off a Hun from a birds-
eye view of things.
- After this rebuff the hotel manager
offered the Government the use of his
large French, German and Spanish
vocabulary. Reinforced with recom
mendations from leading men of Port
land, his application for a Job as Army
interpreter journeyed to Washington
and returned some weeks later en
meshed in red tape with the informa
tion that men of draft age were not
wanted for that service.
At this juncture Mr. Bernegger joined
K. H. Beraearsrer. Miaiger off the
Benson Hotel, Who la Called to
the Colors. -
the Multnomah Guards and learned the
posture of a soldier and how to do
squads right. Yesterday 'when his
summons to go to the National can
tonment arrived he was ready for the
Army, and tickled to death to go.
To commemorate Mr. Bernegger s
success, the hotel managers of Port
land will give a farewell dinner in his
honor tomorrow night in the Tyrolean
room of the Benson Hotel. He will
leave for Camp Lewis on Thursday.
Mr. Bernegger has had seven years'
experience in Portland hotels. He .was
one of the first members of the staff
at the Multnomah when it first opened
several years ago. Later he was man
ager ' of the Cornelius, room clerk at
the Imperial, and room clerk, head
clerk, assistant manager and" finally
manager oi tne Benson.

BEND, Or.. July 22. (Special.) A

DAY'S WORK RECORD
Rare Performance Reported at
Kanning Kitchen.
CHERRIES GALORE PUT UP
Workers In Course of Day Pack. 115
Apple Boxes of Fruit in Quart
Jars for. Sick Soldiers in
Hospitals Next Winter.
AH- records were broken yesterday
and regular working hours were
stretched away into the evening when
the workers in the Kanning Kitchen
put up in long rows of quart Jara 115
apple boxes full of cherries. The
kitchen, which is conducted by ' the
National League for Woman's Service,
has made some splendid records this
year, but. yesterday the donations of
cherries were so many and so large
that an unusual effort was necessary
and more workers were added. A call
for volunteer workers was sent ' out
yesterday and last night women and
girls responded by hundreds. More
than 100 had to be turned away, but
the committee openly expressed thanks
for the good response. More than 800
jars of fruit were put up when the
work was finished at 10 o clock.
The workers all Summer have been
canning and making preserves, and the
clubs and societies have been most de
voted to the cause which represents
fruit for the sick soldier boys in the
hospitals next Winter. The donations
of fruit came from property owners on
whose places there are richly laden
trees; the picking was done by Boy
Scouts and representatives of various
Sunday schools and other organizations.
Mrs. Lee Davenport Is chairman of
the Kanning Kitchen, and Miss Ruth
Guppy Is manager. Mrs. Alice Benson
Beach is head of the Ntional League
for Woman's Service. The list of those
who have helped so far would be long
and would include practically all the
prominent club women and sorority
girls of the city who take a lead in
patriotic work. All the details of the
Kanning Kitchen at Hawthorne and
Grand avenues are well planned and
everything works systematically and
with clock-like precision.
Mrs. Alice Benson Beach, city chair
man, said last night that lack of work
ing joom only made It impossible to
utilize a1Hthe volunteers. The fruit
from John Hamilton, of the Webb farm,
the Borland farm and the Sparr place
was all disposed of. Soldiers and
sailors helped to gather it and the
Warren Construction Company pro
vided trucks' to carry pickers to the
Beuhner place, where more fruit was
gathered. The Catholic Women's
League had charge of the kitchen yes
terday. The Sugar Loaf on the Highway
Sunday took in more than $100. This
money is used to buy sugar.

that everyone will have opportunity to
express himself.

Hatchery Association is limited to
those persons who are at present ac
tlvely engaged - as -superintendents of
hatcheries or who have been so en
gaged In the past.. Employes of hatch

- The association - was founded at
Seattle last year and the first meeting
was held there.
Definite plans for the place of meet
ing and the programme of the session

RIVAL CANDIDATES
FOR OFFICES BUSY
Several Are Willing to Preside
Over Two Branches, of
State Legislature.
TWO SEEK SENATE PLACE
Conrad P. Olson and W. T. TInton
Aspire to Presidency of TTpper
House Many Now in Line
for the Speakership.
Midsummer weather in Oregon must
become many degrees more tropical to
curb political activities with a biennial
session of the Legislature approach
ing. This is' self-evident from the fact
that, although the lawmakers will not
meet for nearly six months, rival can
didates for presiding officers of both
the Senate and the House are already
showing considerable activity. . And all
this notwithstanding that the personnel
of the two houses will not be positively
determined until the results of the No
vember election are known.
For President of the Senate two can
didates are actively in the field. Con
rad P. Olson, holdover Senator from
Multnomah County, waa the first to let
It be definitely known that he aspired
to the Presidency of the upper house
at the 1919 session. Senator Oleon Is
authority for the statement that he has
ten votes positively committed to his
candidacy.
- C'aadldaey la Not Pressed.
Having been prominently associated
aa manager with the campaign of Gov
ernor Withycombe for re-election. Sen
ator Olson said yesterday it was not
his Intention to press his own candi
dacy for President of the Senate until
after the November election. He takes
this position in view of the fact that 15
of the 30 members of the next Senate
will not be determined positively until
the November election has been held.
Besides, he does not want to be placed
in the position of embarrassing in any
way the candidacy of Governor Withy
combe by unduly pressing his own
claims for recognition at this time.
Most formidable among other aspi
rants for President of the Senate at this
time apparently is W. T. Vinton, who
Is unopposed for re-election as State
Senator from Yamhill County. Senator
Vinton's friends affirm that he has
nine votes actually pledged to him for
the place.
Moeer Not Seeking Gavel.
Of the Multnomah delegation. Gus C.
Moser, holdover Senator and President
at the 1917 session, has said he will
not seek the gavel at the coming ses
sion. It Is understood that Senator
Moser, also Senator A. W. Orton, an
other holdover from this county, are
supporting the candidacy of Senator
Vinton. Senator S. B. Huston, also a
Multnomah County holdover. Is a re
ceptive candidate for the Presidency.
Robert S. Farrell. another holdover Sen
ator from this county, is more than a
receptive candidate for the honor. He Is
diligently looking for support and ex
pects, if neither Senator Olson nor Vin
ton can muster the necessary II votes.
that he will prove acceptable aa a can
didate. Senator B. I Eddy, holdover Senator
from Douglas County, covets the honor
of presiding over the Senate sessions
next Winter, but he has announced in
a newspaper interview that he will not
resort to trafficking In committee
chairmanships in order to win the
place.
Thomas Would Not Refuse.
C. M. Thomas, who expects to be
elected State Senator from Jackson
County in November, has let it be
known that he would not turn down the
Presidency If a majority of the mem
bers of the Senate should conclude that
he is the proper man to select.
Fo Speaker of the House, Multno
mah County is to the fore with a
quartet of candidates. K. K. Kubli.
Herbert Gordon, John B. Coffey and
D. C Lewis are the aspirants. Of the
foun, Kubli. Gordon and Coffey are
all busy.
Seymour Jones, of Marion County,
has been nursing his candidacy for
Speaker even since the last Legislature
adjourned. Anothen active seeker after
this honor is Benjamin C. Sheldon, of
Jackson County, a member of the 1917
session. Mr. Sheldon has been in Port
land for a number of days feeling out
the situation. With the Multnomah
delegation spilt among three or four
candidates, the Southern Oregon man
is hoping that a situation might de
velop in which he could be counted
the logical man for the place.
Mae Yet May Hspsn,
In any event, with six months inter
vening until the Legislature meets,
there is every prospect that the con
tests for President of the Senate and
Speaker of the House will assume in
teresting proportions before the choices
are finally made.
.
George T. Baldwin, boldover State
Senator from the district embracing
Crook, Jefferson. Klamath and Lake
counties, is sojourning in Southern
California for the benefit of his health.
Senator Baldwin's condition is not seri
ous, but Is the result of a too close ap
plication to hi business interests in
Klamath Cousty, where he has been
located for 35. years.
F. C. Harley, Mayor of Astoria and
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion for Governor in the recent pri
maries, has become an independent
candidate for State Senator from Clat
sop County. In the November election
he will oppose A. W. Norblad, the reg
ular Republican nominee for that of
fice. George R. Wilbur, holdover State
Senator from Hood River and Wasco
counties, who was in Portland a few
days ago. said that if he decided to
remain in the military service, he
would resign as State Senator in time
for his constituents to elect his suc
cessor in the November election. Sen
ator Wilbur Is stationed at Fort Stev
ens as Captain in the Coast Artillery.
