OHICAGO, June 23. In a riotous
session last night, which followed a
week of public clamor over the oust
ing officials of the school board, the
city council by a vote of 45 to 22, on
reconsideration, refused to confirm
Mayor Thompson's school board ap
pointees. The action was taken without the
presence of the mayor who had de
clared tho session adjourned some
time boforo the confirmation was
called up. He loft tho chamber and
the aldermen re-convened the meet
ing. A resolution by Alderman John C.
Kennedy, socialist, moving tho im
peachment of Mayor Thompson, was
sent to tho judiciary committee.

Nine school board trustees, two of
them holdovers, were appointed re
cently by the mayor and confirmed by
tho council. Tbe first act of the new
board was to elect Edwin 8. Davis

who had como into bad favor with
Thompson. Lewis Larson and Angus
Shannon, for many years secretary
and counsel for the board, also were
roplaced. Tho removnls and tho Idea
of making the schools the subject of a
pollticibl disturbance caused much
criticism and the aldermen, who had
voted for tho confirmations met to
day to reconsider their actions.

NEEDED 10 SAVE
To the Kttitnr Byintf one of the
"certain ladies" Mr. W. K. l'hipps re
ferred to in his article in your Friday
issue on the Notional Hed Cross in
general and the Medford chapter in
particular, permit mo to make a lew
remarks explanatory of the work of
the local Hed Cross chapter:
The board of education allowed the
Medford Hed Cross society tho use
of the sewing- room nnd five machines
in the high school buildiut: during
the summer months of Two
of the machines were ill such poor
repair that it was impossible to use
them; the others were not in nny too
Ifoucl luiw, but we used them nnd
they were in ns good condition vlien
we left as whei tvc came.
Wo only met once a week for n
half day, and a great deal of the work
we did was hand work.
As there is no account on the school
board books of nny repair work on
iniichiucs until February, 1017, we
could not have injured them to any
great extent.
However, there is no use of need
less unxicly about tho machines bc
longinj; lo the school district being
injured, nor the board being- culled
upon to break the "oath taken to
support and maiiitaiii the law." Nor
need Mr. l'hipps or other outr.ieed
taxpayers apply for the threatened
injunction, ns it will probably not be
necessary for the Hed Cross to use
the machines. Several sewinir ma
chines were loaned uud several piven
outright to us by patriotic citizens
as soon as the board of education
refused us the use of those in the
high school.
A number of our members have
been luakine; Hed Cross supplies for
two years and no supplies, ns yet,
have been rejected. So it is possible
Unit the work that is being done now
wilt be uccepted.
All of our supplies are beintr made
for the Pacific Const hospital uud
everything is sent to San Francisco,
hence there is not the "poor economy
to pay transportation charges
across the continent" which is sug
gested. Most of the surgical dresings nre
always made by hand, in all the hos
pitals and are not manufactured in
factories, to my knowledge.
Our supplies, we get practically nt
wholesale rates, buying lo a great ex
tent from the trnveling salesmen anil
thru the courtesy of Mr. J. C. Mann,
gcltinc: such other material as we
need at a liberal discount. The head
quarters in San Francisco carry some
supplies, which they sell nt cost, lint
so far our prices here have been about
the same.
Our 'JOO workiuv members varv in
au'e from 7 years to hit years, so tunny
would be barred from the useful oc
cupation Mr. Philips suggests ns a
method of hclpini; llie Hed Cross.
TO RED CROSS
Colonel Georee P. Mims. postmas
ter of Medford, enjoys an unique dis
tinction, for he is the only postmas
ter in the Oregon naval recruiting dis
trict, which takes in nil of this state
and a large part of Washington and
Idaho, who has not asked the gov
ernment for the $5 fee allowed by
the government for each recruit en
listed by him. ,
This news was brought back to the
city the other dny by n Medford man
who was told of Colonel Minis' unique
record while visiting at the ncvy re
cruiting headquarters in Portland. At
the commencement of the war Post
master Mims announced that be would
not ask for the $5 fee, but would be
only too glad to enlist all the recruits
he could obtuin.
The local Hed Cross chapter, how
ever, will be enriched by about $100
thru Mr. Minis' pnlriotic financial in
difference, for whei one of the Hed
Cross teams called upon bun yester
day lor his regular subscription
and after it hnd been obtained, he
happened to think of the recruiting
fees as Sergeant lirooks and liuucr
had called nis attention only a short
time before to the fnct that he had not
applied for them.
Colonel Mims told the committee of
the situation nnd lit onco agreed to
write to the Portland navy recruiting
unnrlers, apply for the fees nnd turn
whatever amount- is coming to him
over to the Hed Cross chapter, lie
has kept no record of the number of
recruits he enlisted but thinks thai
there were about twenty.
GIVE ONE PERCENT
The employes of the Medford post
office toduy set, an example which,
if followed by the employes of all the
other postoffices tbruout the United
States, will result in a huge sum of
money being raised annually from
the postal employes of the country
thru the duration of the war for the
benefit of the Red Cross.
Every employe of the postoffice
this forenoon from the postmaster
down to the janitor nnd including nil
the rural and sub-carriers, 28 men in
all. voluntarily signed a resolution to
fpay one percent of his annual salary'
to the Hed Cross during the duration
of the war, beginning with the first
dny of the present month.
So far ns could be learned this is
the first postoffice in the United
States to take such nction, and notice
of the local action wus forwarded to
the postmaster general and will be
published in the official bulletin news
paper issued by the postoffice depart
ment. ...
This nction of today was taken in
dependent of tho contributions the
postoffice employes .are making in
the present lied Cross drive to raise
$10,000 in Medford and the north end
of the county.
And the majority of them nre women
with families who give up their vec
reation to work several hours dur
ing the week. The headquarters ure
open from 0 lo 4 o'clock 3 times n
week, with women in charge of the
work room and cutting room. About
"0 women give their time scwinc nnd
making surgical dressings nnd it
keeps from three to five women busy
cutting materials to have enough work
on hand.
All the surgical dressings afler
they have been pnsscd iqion have lo
be dropped in small pnekages ready
for sterilizing.
We have several boxes of these
dressings finished ench box con
laining about 320 yards of gauze be
sides a large quantity of muslin ban
dages of various kinds and a number
of outfits for patients. F.aeh outfit
of this kind contain li sheets, 4 pil
