contended that the Health Board had

NO MEDICAL EXAMINATION
FOR POLICE PROMOTIONS
Civil Service Commission Adopts New
Policy and Will Hold Tests for
Several Positions

The Civil Service Commission de-
cided yesterday to abolish the medical
examinations for promotions in the
Police Department. The commission
assigns as a reason that the re-exam-
ination of employees of the department
is superfiuous because If they are re-
Jected by the medical board they are
still retained in the department in the
positions they occupied when apply
ing for promotions. 1t is said that the
board rejected fourteen applicants of
patrolmen for rhe last civil service ex-
animation for corporals as medically
unfit, but they are still performing the
duties of patrolmen.
In this connection the commission
viii on next Monday evening set
date and adopt a scope for the next
examination for promotions as police
sergeants and lieutenants. EXamina-
tons will also be held for police patrol
drivers and ambulance drivers in the
Department of Health.

there would have been nothing doing
on that occasion if the policeman had

averred, Harvey has pursued him for

anything to merit such tenacious at
tention. 1t was true that he had been
drinking, in fact, was drunk, on the
afternoon Of Monday, but he had
slumbered in a saloon chair and was
sober in the evening, when the arrest

began yesterday afternoon the prelimi-

son, charged with having solicited
Eric Gustafsen, another member of
the crew of the steamer Coquille River,
to join them on a strike in the harbor
of San Pedro.
II. w. Hutton of counsel for the
defense insisted that the crew had a
right to quit work in port and that
from that moment they became pas
sengers and ceased TO be members of
the crew and were not bound by the
statute.
Ben L. Mckinley cited authorities to
show that. Notwithstanding the with
drawal of the crew as such, they were
amenable to the statute.
Hutton's motion to dismiss was de-
MED and the case went over until 9
o'clock TODAY.

FIXES RESPONSIBILITY
Says City Fathers VIII Be
to Blame if Municipal
Sweeping Proves Failure

President Herbert Schmitz Of the
Board of Public Works yesterday
transmitted the formal protest of the
board against the appropriation OF
S2l5.0O0 made by the Board of super
visors in the next municipal budget
for the cleaning Of streets. Schmitz
declares that the amount appropriated
is insufficient to sweep the streets, IN
view of the fact that the city is to do
the work, and plainly states that the
responsibility for the improper per
formance OF the work viii be placed
on the Board of Supervisors. The board
requests that $3.50 600 be allowed if the
work is let out bV contract and $30O,OOO
if il is TO be done by the city, so that
the necessary apparatus may be pur-
chased. The protest says:
There are two principal objections TO the
above appropriation. first. the tnsul nciency o.
the sum appropriated. and second, the re-

v ARDEN EBERT
TO Be REMOVED
Head of City and County
Hospital Slated for Dis
missal by Health Board
ADMINISTRATION BAL
Frequent Clashes With His
SubOrdinates May Result
in Enforced Resignation

John n. Elbert, warden Of the City
and County Hospital, has been slated
for removal by the Board of Health
and his dismissal from the position
will be formally acted upon in a day
or two. In all likelihood Elbert will
be given an opportunity to resign, as
one or two members of the board are
disposed to favor him to that extent.
Eberts dismissal is to be brought
about in the interest of harmonoy, and
has been under consideration almost
from the time he assumed the office
on January last. Elbert has not been
on the best of terms with his subord-
mates, and the clashes have been fire.
quent and more or less of a violent
character.
For the last three months COM
plants regarding EIberts administra-
ton of the City and County Hospital
affairs have been filed by the en-
ployes of the institution that happen
ed to come under his displeasure.
These complaints have come not only
from minor employees. but also from
the nurses, apothecaries and internes,
and even from orderlies. The COM
plainants have accused Elbert of being
of a domineering disposition and of
possessing a manner that is dictatorial
in the extreme. In fact 1t is charged
that it has been found impossible by
those under his Immediate jurisdiction
to get along with him.
After a complete investigation Of the
accusations made against Ebert the
committee of the Health Board on
City and County Hospital, composed or
Drs. Poheim, Stinson and Harvey, has
reported that the accusations are we'll
founded The committee further rec
ommends that, to prevent what may
result in the absolute demoraliza-
tion of the conduct OF the hos
pital, it is imperative that the services
of Elbert be forthwith dispensed with
and that he be relegated to some other
sphere.
