CADET OFFICERS NAMED
DEATH WARNING HEARD
Police Sergeant Said to Have Been
AVarned to Keep Away and Two
Yives Have Conference.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 3. (Spe
cial.) Did Guy Carleton, police ser
geant. pay the death penalty at the
hands of a brother officer because he
failed to heed the warnings of an en
raged husband?
Charles A. Roselius, motorcycle of
ficer, was held in the city Jail today,
his nerves shattered and his spirit
broken. He admits killing Carleton at
8:15 Sunday after a wild automobile
chase. Carleton was motoring with
Roselius' wife when overtaken and
shot through the heart.
In another cell at the city fall Mrs.
Jennie Roselius, 29, is held pending
investigation of her case. With her
Is their little adopted daughter,
Naome, aged 4.
Confronting Capbaln of Detectives
Tennant and Prosecuting Attorney
Brown is the task of sifting eyery
angle of the tragic triangle. Police
officers say that Roselius had warned
Carleton not to continue his atten
tions to Mrs. Roselius.
Child Clnpaed la Anns.
Tennant and Brown spent this
morning questioning the motorcycle
officer and his wife. As Roselius was
going down the police elevator to
face Tennant, he met his little daugh
ter, with Aliss Ruth Darling, 7341 Cal
ifornia avenue, who was taking the
bewildered child to her mother.
Roselius clasped the child in his
arms for an instant and sobbed bit
terly. "I thought wo were to find mother
in a department store," cried the
little girl. "This is a jail."
When Prosecutor Brown emerged
from Tennant's office he said he was
not ready to take action in court
against Roselius.
"Until I have interviewed more
witnesses I can't say whether or not
III file first degree murder charges
direct," Brown explained.
Among the policemen to be called
was Thomas E. Bell, patrol driver,
who is stationed at West Seattle.
Warning: I Reported.
According to officers Roselius told
Bell that he would shoot Carleton If
the sergeant attempted to further his
friendship with Mrs. Roselius. Carle
ton was told of the warning, offi
cers say, and replied that "It will
take a fast man to get me."
Two years ago Roselius was in
jured grappling with a burglar. One
of his spinal vertebrae was dislocated.
He was sent to the Mayo brothers for
expert care and returned wearing a
steel Jacket. Later, he was again in
jured en duty. His suffering, brother
officers explain, was augmented by
strained domestic relations His wife,
they say, and Mrs. Carleton had both
threatened to start divorce proceed
ings, believing that Carleton and
Mrs. Roselius were enmeshed in i
love affair.
The Roselius-Carlton trouble be
came so acute that about two months
ago, according to Mrs. Roselius, her
husband went to see Mrs. Carleton at
her home and told her about it. Mrs.
Carleton went to see Mrs. Roselius
and told her what Patrolman Roselius
had reported to her.

years I have conscientiously given
the best I have in connection with
employment and unemployment and
police service. I feel that I have
done my part and therefore can con
sistently withdraw, now that the war
emergency which held me in duty
bound to remain on the job has
passed.
"The salary of the chief of police
ts entirely too small for the responsi
bility the position carries; the work
ing hours are 24 per day; and the
work consists of the most nerve
racking and health-breaking labor in
the world. The honor and thanks foi
conscientious endeavor are nil.
Chief Thanks Mayor.
"In tendering this letter, which
deem to be my resignation, I wish to
thank you from the bottom of mj
heart lor the confidence you have
given me. I have always had your
aid and your backing in fighting for
decency and law enforcement. It is
a pleasure to know that I have never
been asked by you to do an act tha
was not open and above-board. This
has been one of the big consolations
to me during the two years that
have been chief of police. I have no
ambition to continue police work, and
therefore feel that when opportunity
presents itself, as it does at this time,
1 should take advantage of it.
"I shall continue to make Portland
my home. I have associated myself
with the Multnomah Lurrrber & Box
company and its associated enter
prises, where I will, as employment
manager, have supervision of their
more than 1500 employes.
"It has been a pleasure, my dear
mayor, to serve under you in police
work, and if in the future my volun
teer services can in any way be of
value to you, they are always avail
able." Resignation In Accepted.
Mayor Baker's letter of acceptance
is as follows:
"It is with reluctance that I accept
your resignation as chief of police in
accordance with your letter handed
me today. I can appreciate the fact that
you feel it your duty to your family
to accept the business opportunity
that has presented itself and 1 can
but wish you all the success in the
world.
"I wish to express my thanita for
the able and painstaking service you
have given during the trying times of
the past two years., There has never
been a time when police work has
been harder or more exacting because
of the new and difficult problems
that have arisen.
"I feel that you have a record to be
proud of and I know it has been ac
complished by hard work and long
hours in which you have received lit
tle commendation due for the good
dene, and have received condemna
tion in full measure for everything
that has Si"ne wrong."

JANITOR PROBLEM TOPIC
School Board to Thxesli Out TTnion-
lzation Question.
Whether the janitor system in the
Portland public schools is to stay
union or non-union is a point to be
threshed out at the next meeting
of the board of directors Thursday
night. Both factions have been given
a hearing, the majority of the men
or those represented by the janitors'
association expressing preference for
the present contract system. This
does not comply with the demands of
the union men, or with the state labor
commissioner's regulations.
Directors A. C. Newell and Dr. E.
A. Sommer, it is understood, plan to
recommend provision in the budget
for salary increases for the janitors,
but suggest that the matter of em
ployment methods be left undecided
until an opinion may be obtained from
the state attorney-general. The prin
cipal objector to this plan is Director
George B. Thomas, who wishes the
board to go on record for the contract
plan in order to force action by State
Labor Commissioner -C. H. Gram. The
district attorney has upheld the con
tract or open-shop system as legal
and on. this account several board
members wish to delay action, as the
janitors already have signed con
tracts for this year.
Another matter to come up Thurs
day is Superintendent Grout's sugges
tion that November 11 be declared a
school holiday and that suitable ar
rangements be made to observe the
first anniversary of the signing of
the armistice.
cific International Livestock exposi
tion pavilion now being rushed to
completion for the approaching stock
show, yesterday renewed their efforts,
confident that the full quota will
have been subscribed by the end of
the week.
Milton R. Klepper, campaign man
ager, yesterday issued a call for mora
workers to assist in the drive. With
E. G. Crawford, financial chairman,
and William M. Ladd. Mr. Klepper
appeared yesterday before the mem
bers' council of the Chamber of Com
merce and obtained a pledge for 40
more workers from that organization
to be on hand bright and early today.
Mr. Klepper announced that the
campaign officials would appear be
fore every civic organization In Port
land this week asking for more can
vassers. With the present force aug
mented by 200 or more from these or
ganizations, he feels confident that
the JIOO.OOO will be procured. Offi
cials of the drive will speak before
the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs today.
It was announced last night at
campaign headquarters that 50.000
of the needed $100,000 has been sub
scribed. Of this amount, $30,525
came from small individual subscrip
tions exclusive of the larger dona
tions made to the flying squadron of
canvassers which is going after only
the larger subscriptions.

the president's council of the civic
clubs of the city on the two mill tax
levy asked by the city council which

SEATTLE STRIKE ENDED
Building Trades Return to VorU
After 2 Months' Layoff.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 3. (Spe

months, building trades returned to
work Monday morning, pursuant to
orders issued by the Building trades
council Friday night.
In ending the strike, Frank Cot
terill, secretary of the council, said
the workers' action was merely a
"truce" pending arbitration by R. J.
Rhode, federal mediator, now here.
The men returned to receive the
same wages existing before they
walked out, but will work 44 hours
a week Instead of 40, master builders

If. you are suffering from eczema or

it by using Resinol Ointment? Unless
the trouble is due to some serious inter
