Evicted Blind Man .
Is Pessimist," Says
Supt. J. F. Myers
Charles Lj. Bishop, inmate of the Ore
gon Employment Institution for the
Mind, is a pessimist.
This is the reason, says F. L. Myers,
superintendent, that he and his pal,
Oscar Lk Johnson, also an inmate, spent
Friday night In the city Jail on charges
or trespassing.
Bishop, who went to the Institution
last June, according to Myers, continu
ally found fault and tried to give other
Inmates his darksome viewpoint.
"He was destroying the morale of the
others and ruining the little discipline
necessary to the successful operation of
the institution, so when the state board
of control authorized me to evict him,
together with Johnson, who has not been
in the state long enough to receive state
aid, I called the police," said Myers, in
explaining his action.
The two blind men were ordered re
leased Saturday by Municipal Judge
Rossman, who reprimanded Myers. Sat
urday night they were back in their old
quarters at the Institution.
Although neither man is known to have
relatives In Portland, both, according to
Myers, have places at which they could
be cared for. Bishop; a member of the
Hoquiam lodge of Odd Fellows, could
go to" the lodge's home In Walla, Walla,
IX he. wished, said. Myers, and Johnson's
parents have a poultry ranch la Battle
ground, Wash, i.f;:;-..jb-:: '
Further -action to remove the men will
be taken, said Myers. y v
