Hoover Is Keeping
yatch on Condition
Of Dr. Minthorn
Charges of "shady dealings," were
hurled .at E. F. Stuart, auperintendent
of operation, by Director George t B.
Thomas of the school board Wednesday college, who ia near death at the Port-
Herbert Hoover, secretary of com
merce, is keeping close watca 'over the
condition of his benefactor. Dr. H. J.
Minthorn, first president of Pacific
night, and a verbal clash between the
director and the superintendent was
ended only by the gavel of Chairman
Shall.
Discussion of the janitors' examina
tion brought about the attack. The
board, on the recommendation of a
special committee, consisting of Di
rectors Thomas, Pickering and Mar
tin, voted that such an examination
be held between November 1 and 30,
that It be open to the public and that
a committee of experienced men sleet
ed by the board shall conduct the ex
amination. SCEAP OVER JAXITOK
On the suggestion of some of the
ooard that Matthew Odell, superintend
ent of properties, conduct the exam
ination, Thomas said ho did not be
lieve Odell was qualified, but should
tp.V.o t.lie examination himself.
SuvoKntendent Stuart, called upon
to answer whether the janitor dis
charged at Couch school last year for
allowing a boiler explosion has not
been re-employed, admitted the Jani
tor was now employed at Portsmouth
school.
"I sent a man to Stuart", who wanted
a Job." ,said Thomas, '"and Stuart said,
'to hell 'with the school board. 1 am
running this.' "
PROMISES REPORT
Stuart explained that the man had
become so insistent, and since there
were no vacancies, he had told him
that the only way for him to get a Job
was for Thomas to fire some man and
put htm over his head.
"But I did not say anything about
the school board." said Stuart, "only
about you."
. J. It. Snee, secretary of the Marine
Kngineprs' association, which at the
last meeting accused the board of hav
ing Janitors in the schools who could
not speak the English language and in
nt least one instance had to have an
interpreter, admitted that he was un
able ir name the Janitor in question,
although challenged by the board to
do so. Pressed by the board to prove
the charges or deny them, Snee prom
ised to have a retort at the next meet
in?. WAXT NEW BriLTUNG
Answering a delegation of Laurel
hurst residents, petitiriing for a new
building to replace the Scott school,

room Hrildh.gr should be begun et as

that he received a message from

be advised Instantly of any change In
the condition of the patient.

AUTO RAFFLES
Police Chief Jenkins wiJl be upheld
in his war on automobile raffles an
nounced Tuesday, according to state
ments made today by District Attor
ney Stanley Myers, in whose hands me
case was placed for legal advisement.
Chief Jenkins informed the district at
torney of his stand on the public raffles
and Myers stated immediately he is
behind the police head.
"Public automobile raffles, such as
we have seen frequently of late on the
streets, are clearly in violation of the
law," the district attorney stated. "The
law is very clear on this point and the
time has come when we must uphold it.
PRIVILEGE ABUSED
"During the war and immediately
after we permitted automobile raffles
because the funds derived from them
were turned for the public good.
Friends of veterans were allowed to
conduct them because we could see
they were , doing no harm, but were
rather doing a lot of good.
"However, it became apparent, to
some that the plan is a good money
maker, and it was then turned into a
private enterprise. I have been In
formed that promoters approached vri
ous organisations with propositions
whereby the name of the organisation
would be used in putting over the raf
fle and the promoter would talfe at
least 50 per cent of the net proceeds.
INFORMATION LACKING
"I do not know if any of those raffles
which have been conducted of late were
presented to the public under any such
circumstances because I haveno posi
tive information on the business ar
rangement of any of them.
"Representatives of some of the vari
ous fraternal organizations have come
to me for advice when they were pre
sented with schemes by promoters, and
in an cases I bave told them we could
not allow them to operate.
"Furthermore they are a public
nuisance and I believe the . people Of
the city will be glad to know they will
not be annoyed by them 'in the future.
I trist that the people will understand
our position in the past and at present."
