OUSTED COPS ELIGIBLE
FIVE POLICEMEN DISCHARGED FOR
GAMBLING ON LIST.
Mayor on Killing; Twelve Vacancies
Opposes Reinstatement, bat May
Have to Name Two, Anyway.
Difficulties loomed yesterday, when
Mayor Albee asked the municipal civil
service board for a list of eligibles for
positions as policemen to fill 12 va
cancies in the police department and
was supplied with a list ot it names
containing five of the 11 policemen
who were dismissed by the Mayor last
December after investigation of gam
bling at the Police Athletic Club. The
Mayor has announced that he is op
posed to appointing any of the men
who were let out. His attitude has
raised the question of his ability to
avoid appointing the men under the
conditions.
The five men were dismissed by the
Mayor, with others involved In the
gambling charges. The civil service
board, after hearing evidence in the
cases, reversed the ruling of the Mayor
and suspended the men for six months.
At the end of that time their names
were placed on the civil service eligible
list with the names of men placed on
the list after examination. The dis
charged men were given places on the
list according to the ratings received
when they were examined in 1912.
The Mayor called for a list from
which to make 12 appointments. Five
of the discharged men. being high on
the list, were certified. Inasmuch as
12 men must be selected from the 14
names certified, it is considered cer
tain that the Mayor will have to ap
point two of the five men he ousted.
The five are Thomas Casey, John M.
Jones, A. Schlrmer. R. L. Whiteside
and A. L. Pressey. The names of Casey
and Jones top the list.
Under civil service rules the Mayor
in making an appointment may select
any one of the three names at the head
of the eligible list. In case of 13 ap
pointments to be made from a list of
14 names any of the 14 men may be
selected to fill the 12 vacancies.
JUVENILE EXHIBITS BIG FACTOR OF
SUCCESS, SAYS W. C. MARIS.
Educational Day Featured by Attend
ance of.5SO Children and 60 Teach
ers at Bis Programme.
"Perfect weather, a liberal prize list
and plenty of hard work on the part
of the management made the Grant
County Fair, held during the week at
John Day, the most successful event in
the history of the organization," said
W. C. Marls, of the state department
of education, yesterday.
"The stock show was not what might
be desired, but about the same as for
mer years. Most departments in the
pavilion, however, were larger and bet
ter filled, and it Is unfortunate that an
exhibit from that county could not have
been sent to the State Fair.
"The juvenile department is one of
the most important features of the
Grant County Fair. To give the teach
ers and pupils of the county an oppor
tunity to attend the- fair, the county
institute Is held the same week as the
fair. Wednesday. Educational day, all
the pupils and teachers are admitted
free. There were 60 teachers and 60
pupils in the line that marched from
the schoolhouse to the grounds.
- "The day was given over to an edu
cational programme, music, an address
by Professor M. S. Pitman, of the State
Normal School: an address by M. C.
Reed, of Portland; declamatory con
tests and athletic contests. The County
School Superintendent, W. W. Austen,
is an enthusiastic and tireless worker
along this line, and the great success
of this day is largely attributed to his
efforts.
"The fair board appropriated $400 for
prizes in the Juvenile department, which
covers all lines of industrial products
as well as schoolroom work. They also
appropriated $100 for prizes in athletic
contests."
