ATTACK ON THE MAYOR.
Complaint Fled Against Bremerton's
Executive.

Washington. D. C.-CitiZens OF
Bremerton and Sidney recently COM
planned to the navy department that
A. l.. CrOxtOn was violating the civil
service rules by holding position un-
der these rules while also acting as
MAYOR OF BremertOn.
CrOxtOn is an electrician a the
navy yard. The complaint charged
that this is in violation of the civil
service act providing that no person
in the government service has the
right TO use his official authority 10
coerce the political action Of any per
son or body.
Assistant Secretary Darling on
May % referred the complaints to
Capt Barclay. and asked also if the
MAYOR had reissued Or renewed any
licenses. and what was and is the
mayors attitude concerning police
regulations and good government.
Capt Barclay referred the papers
to Captain BleecKer captain of the
yard, whose report is just received
by the department. Capt. Blocker
says that CrOXtOn had not renewed
any licenses. but had protested against
the dCLlOu OI IHp COuHtlllueu III jUo
matter. His attitude was in favor Of
carrying out the police regulations in
the interest of good government. 1t
is not known that CrOXtOn used his
official authority to c0erCe any person
or body CrOXtOn was not employed
under civil service rules. but was ap-
pointed after competitive examination
He was interested and active in carry
ing out the wishes Of the department
relative to the saloon question, and
his duties as mayor did not interfere
with his work as a government en-
plOye.
The navy department may make a
fuller inquiry to ascertain whether
CroXton can perform the duties OF
both mayor and electrician. but Capt
Bleecker's report is regarded as ex-
Onerating him from charges.
Capt Barclays mailed report on
saloon closing has not Yet been re-
ceived.

saby Lions Born In Captivity.


Philadelphia. Oct. 19.-Sapho, one of
the biggest lionesses in the Bostock ag-
gregation, gave birth to three Of the
tiniest lion cubs ever born in ceptiy-
ity. Their advent was signaled by a
chorus of roars from the many other
lions who seemed to know by instinct
that something unusual had taken
place in the animal world. A constant
watch is kept upon the cage to prevent
Sapho from eating her offspring, an
occurrence not infrequent when ami
mails are born in captivity. Like kit
tens, it is several days before cubs can
see. and at present they look innocent
enough to be plsythings for infants.
In six weeks, however, their ferocious
nature will have asserted itself.
