Additional dismissals of Government

It Is pointed out, effect any great sav

added to the uneasiness of the employes
at the Postoffice.
th. .mnloTM feel that the depart
. ,hnnii hivn taken care of its
regular employes, particularly as the
falling off in receipts of the Portland
office has been small. They point out
ih.t th Government, which has just
organized a bureau to find Jobs for
the unemployed, is now adding to the
unemployed its own men. uo uu
every reason to consider their positions
permanent.
Other Departments Seem Immune.
Nor Is the new economy rule in ef
fect in other branches of the Govern
ment service here, so far as can be
learned. No such move is contemplated
at the Custom-House, despite a heavy
falling off in customs duties, at
tendant upon the inauguration of the
new tariff laws of the Democratic Ad
ministration. Employes of the postal department
In this city, both those affected by the
new order and others who may lose
their positions, are afraid to discuss
the new order, even though they are
hard hit by it. United protests were
announced when the first retrenchment
order was made, but it appears now,
from what can be learned, that the
men will not risk Incurring further dis
missals bv entering a formal protest.
Indeed the order of the Postmaster
to employes that they permit no ex
aggerated statements to be made about
the retrenchment policy at the Post
office, lest they aggravate the situa
tion, appears to have been taken to
mean that they had best make no state,
merits If they value their positions
on the substitute roll. This order ap
plies as well to those on the active
list, it Is understood, and has been so
Interpreted.
No Protest Expected.
"No nrotest from the men has been
received and none Is expected," said
Postmatser Meyers yesterday. "The
employes realize the order Is in the
Interest of efficiency and economy.
Supervisory officers have been given
more work to do and this, together
with the falling off in business, made
the changes desirable.
The eight collectors who have had
their salaries reduced from $1200 to
$1000 had a chance to retain the former
salary by being transferred from the
position of collector to carrier and In
proof of the fact that a collector's
position at $1000 is preferable to that
of carrier at S1J30, these eight col
lectors declined to make the change.
The choice Is still open to them if they
desire.
"The fact is that the position of
collector calls for but little physical
and mental effort and the job of car
rier Is a more strenuous one. Here
after, the salary for collector will be
$1000 instead of the former $1200. This
cut in salary is the general order of
the department.
Too Many Clerka" la Explanation.
"The dismissal of eight clerks and
one carrier from the regular list,
placing them on the substitute roll,
was In accordance with the needs of
the service. We had more clerks than
the office required to carry on the work
and the men are reduced to the sub
stitute roll, where they will be em
ployed as needed and paid by the hour
as their services are required.
"There has been a general decline
In recipts of the office, due to the causes
growing out of the European war and
the falling off in business. The clerks
have been admonished to tell the facts
In the case and not to give exaggerated
reports which at such times become
current and which aggravate the sltua.
tion by adding to the business depression."

RUDOLPH GANZ. WHO WILL APPEAR IN HEILIG RECITAL OS

SCHOOL FOLIGYTOLD
Board Answers Suit of Mrs.
Maud L. Richards.
HEARING SET FOR TUESDAY
RUDOLPH GANZ, the Swiss pianist
.whose glowing temperament and
poetry of interpretation have
given him rare prestige in the world
of music, will be heard in recital at the
Hellig Theater Monday, March 1, under
the direction of Steers & Coman.
Ganz has electric energy, that, com
bined with a subtle instinct for dis
covering new, unguessed emotional ele
ments hidden away in a composition,
seems to produce a new masterpiece,
fresh with creative genius, as though
it had just emerged warm and living,
from the band and brain tnat first gave
it to the world.
The effect "upon an audience is start-lino-.
His is a delicate, sensitive soul.
alive to all the tender nuances, shifting
color of tone and poetit idea, yet strong
and imperious when forcing a great
dramatic climax fiome to the emotions
with inevitable conviction and pas
sion. No other pianist now living is capable
of revealing to an audience the true
majesty of Liszt, his imperious, en
thralling passion, at once grand and
tragic, the touch of primal, somber sim
plicity that is a dominating element
of his genius, despite its technical com
plexity. The real spirit of Liszt lives
In Rudolph Ganz, and in him alone to
day. ,
That Ganz is also the greatest living
interpreter of Brahpis, the mystic, only
proves the breadth of ' his genius.
Brahms' music, subtly beautiful as it
is, comes straight from the heart, and
it Ir this quality that Rudolph Ganz
brings home to his hearers.

Adv.
Sir. Alderman Declares Teacher No
tified Him of Marriage, Saving
She Realized It Would Ter
minate Her Services.
"It has been the experience and ob
servation of the Board that the best
services are rendered by unmarried
women not burdened by home duties
and obligations."
This Is the definite policy set forth
by the Board of Education in answer
ing the complaint of Mrs. Maud I.
Richards, formerly high school English
teacher in the School of Trades, who
was discharged summarily on January
S because she married Oren R. Rich
ards, a lawyer. The answer to the
complaint was filed in County Clerk
Coffey's office yesterday.
Mrs. Richards' petition for a peremp
tory writ of mandamus ordering her
immediate reinstatement as a teacher,
will be heard by Circuit Judge Morrow
at 8 o'clock Tuesday night. Under the
alternate writ signed last week by
Judge Morrow, the Board was given
until February 20 to appear and show
cause for not reinstating Mrs. Richards.
The attorneys yesterday agreed on
Tuesday night for the hearing.
C. W. Fulton and Jay Bowerman will
represent the Board of Education, and
Oren R. Richards, the husband, will ap
pear for Mrs. Richards.
In the answer filed yesterday. City
Superintendent Alderman alleges that
on January 4 Mrs. Kicharas, men miss
Maud I Marsh, informed him of her
intention to be married, and said she
realized that her action would termin
ate her services as a teacher. Mr. Rich
ards denies that his wife told the su
perintendent this. He says that he no
tified Mr. Alderman that Mrs. Richards
would appear on the following morning
to teach her classes; tnat sne aia so,
and was dismissed.
A notice of appointment as a teacher,
offered to and signed by Miss Marsh on
May 19, 1913, is presented in ine
Board's answer as the contract which it
is declared she violated when she mar
ried. The contract, Mr. Richards as
serts, expired May 19, 1914, and that
since then there has been no contract
and the Board has had no power to
make one, for Mrs. Richards was from
that date a permanent teacher under
the laws of the state( and could not be
discharged without definite cnarges dc
ing filed against her.
The answer declares that It has been
the policy of the Board for many years
that no married teacners do empiuyeu
in the Portland schools except by spe
nial resolution of the Board.
Mr. Richards exhibited yesterday a
list of 47 school teachers whom he de
clared to be married and permanently
employed in the public schools.

Deetal Trusi Can Not
. Deey These Authorities
Every dentist who appeared in
Salem before the Legislature last
week as an advocate of cocaine and
arsenic is a Trust dentist.
VrHs The very Trustites, who have
been claiming; to be tne "guardians
kWll viuiiu"tj , I

Si-k-. y which, would stop the use of these

torn the mask of hvpoc-
w-,,r fvMn rie fnr-pst of these Trustites, so
that the people of Oregon who entrust
their health and life in the hands of the
Dental Trust may know them as they are.
By their actions in this matter they have
shown that they would see Americans
become a race of "dope fiends," rather
than admit that any measures proposed
by Painless Parker were for the public
good.
Rather than give up some of the ill
gotten gains extorted from the public by
special legislation these Trustites also
opposed ar measure requiring a dental
nurse, because they will not pay a living
wage to nurse girls.
These representatives of the Dental
Trust who appeared before the legislative
committee at Salem said that my two bills
were an insult to the dentists of the state.
The greatest authorities on dentistry in
this country and Europe say I am right.
They condemn the use of cocaine and
recommend a nurse in dental offices.
Professor Dr. Guido Fischer, director of
the Royal Dental Institute of the Univer
sity of Marburg, recognized as a world
. wide authority, in his recent book, "Local
Anaesthesia in Dentistry," says :
"The presence of a third person, an assistant
or a woman attendant, is recommendable for so
cial reasons. Several eases of sexual hallucina
tions following the injection of cocaine solutions
locally in extractions have been reported, in which
the operator had difficulty in clearing himself
owing to the absence of a third person, who could
easily have testified to his innocence."
Professor Dr. Kurt Hermann Thoma,
Harvard University, in his book, "Local
Anaesthesia in the Oral Cavity," says:
"It has therefore been established as a general
rule that neither the physician nor the dentist,
without urgent reasons, should induce anesthesia
when alone, but that a medical assistant, or at
least another person, should be present."
Professor Dr. Heinrich Braun, Director
of the Royal Hospital of Zwickau, Ger
many, says: "In surgery cocaine has be
come obsolete and is no longer used."
Fischer, in speaking of cocaine, says:
"It possesses, however, such a great many
disadvantages, especially a specifically
high toxicity, that its employment is being
limited more and more, greatly to the
benefit of suffering humanity."
Korner says : "It is a f ae, known to the
physician and dentist alike, that all
anaesthetics may produce erotic dreams.
This is true, not only of the agents em
ployed in general anaesthesia, but, accord
ing to published records and my own
experience, also of local anaesthetics, espe
cially cocaine."
Dorn says : "A girl, aged twenty years,
shortly after an operation under cocaine,
lapsed into a condition of tremendous ex
citement, respiration being considerably
accelerated, pulse 102, and made voluptu
ous motions with her lips, without notably
reacting upon being spoken to. After
having remained in this condition of
mental distraction and great excitrment,
for about ten minutes, she gradually re
gained consciousness, and explained that
she had dreamed of her fiance."
Hentze says: "A young woman had a
tooth extracted in the clinic under local
anaesthesia. She showed symptons of
cocaine intoxication and hysterical fits,
but soon recovered and returned home.
Soon afterward the assistant, who had
been present at the operation, and whom
she had not lcnown even by name, received
love letters from the woman, which
remained unanswered. Three days follow
in cr tho operation the Daticnt committed
suicide by shooting, after having written
to the assistant that she intended to take
her life unless she received a reply. It
was ascertained afterward that the woman
was engaged to some other man."
Fischer says: 'It is imperative not to
leave in the waiting-room by themselves
or without supervision, locally anaesthet
ized patients who have to wait for some
time before the operation, but to observe
them continually. The following alarming
case has been reported to the wnter:
After injecting, the operator left the
v surgery for the laboratory. Upon return
ing, after not more than one minute, he
saw, to his astonishment, the patient in a
helpless condition, having fallen back in
chair and being wedged between seat, arm
rest and back. The head was deeply
reclined, respiration was difficult and
slow, the pupils dilated, the facial color
cyanotic; in short, all symptoms typic&l of
approaching asphyxia were present. With
great effort he lifted the entirely insen
sible patient from the chair, and laid her
on the floor. Respiration ceased, and arti
ficial respiration was induced, which
proved successful after about two minutes.
The patient recovered relatively quickly
after cold cloths, fresh air, and amyl
nitrite had been applied, and despite the
serious character of the collapse was abla
to be sent home by carriage after one
hour. This accident is a further proof of
the necessity of having a third person
present for assistance in every case of
local anaesthesia."
Fischer recounts another case, and then
adds: "This again justifies the demand
that not only during general, but also dur
ing local anaesthesia, a third person should
be present to avoid all risks of suspicion."
I challenge the Dental Trust to produce
one single authority of the past ten years
advocating the use of cocaine and con
demning the presence of a dental nurse.
If I have insulted the dental profession of
Oregon, then it has also been insulted by
all the greatest authorities known in
dentistry.
Dr. Jene Cline, member of the Oregon
Board of Dental Examiners, said before
the committee hearing that there was no
necessity for these laws. He knew, or
should know, that the above authorities
cannot be denied. He said dentists seldom
used arsenic and the danger in cocaine is
largely imaginative. Dr. Guy S. Millbury,
who belongs to the trust in California,
where I have presented these same bills to
the Legislature, stated before the Legisla
tive committee hearing there that arsenic
was absolutely essential in the practice of
dentistry and had been used for 2000
years.
' I would suggest that if these Trustites
are going to try and fool the people of
these two states that they get together on
their statements.
