.HANLEY FACES
MORE TROUBLE
CANNOT CUT FORCE; MUST CUT
EXPENSES
Street superintendent In Hard Straits
Between Civil Service Rules
and Order to Reduce
His Force

street Superintendent Hanley Is
looking for some kind hearted person
who will present him with plans and
specifications showing him where he
Is at" He threw up both hands yes
terday and confessed that he didn't
know.
BY the advice of the city attorney
he yesterday replaced the three in
spectors whom he had discharged Mon
day, with the understanding that he
keep them there until a delicate civil
service point is settled.
The three inspectors are Pat Quinn,
assistant excavating Inspector; Henry
Bohrman, general office inspector, and
Fred Jacobs, sprinkling inspector.
With about fifty laborers these men
were discharged last Monday in or
der that the street department might
no longer exceed its appropriation for
salaries. All three are civil service ap-
pointees, and at the meeting of the
commission last Tuesday evening one
of them appeared before that body
and stated his case.
DR.. 1Cdelman, chairman of the COM
mission, expressed an opinion that as
the inspectors were holding positions
which had been created by the coun-
cil the street superintendent had no
right to discharge anyone holding such
position. but declared that 1t was not
q case for the commission and that
the city attorney would have to de-
eide
Council Must Act
The question was brought to the at
tention of the city attorney and he
advised Mr.. Hanley that he believed
it would be necessary for the city
council to pass an ordinance abolish
ing the positions before he could WELD
the ak.
And there you are" said Mr.. Han
ley yesterday. II have to keep within
my appropriation in order not to come
out with q deficit, and still l cannot
cut down salaries by discharging the
men who are drawing them. What am
| going to do?"
The street superintendent has been
Worrying about the Christmas turkeys
of the men he was compelled to dis
charge and believes that he has found
q method whereby all may have a
bird on the table December %. His
plan is to take back the laborers in
about two weeks and lay off the same
number for two weeks. and then take
them back and lay off men in their
place.
II believe | can do this without con-
1ictine with civil service rules, and
as long as we haven't enough money
to go all the way around, I believe in
dividing it UP little. The plan Will
not be Il detriment to the depart
ment as every man is experienced and
knows just what to do. | believe the
plan is worth trying, anyhow"

A PRAYER

Teach me, Father. how to go
Softly as the grasses grow:
Hush my soul to meet the shock
OF the wild world as a rock;
But my spirit, propt with power,
Make as simple as a flower:
Let the dry heart fiji its cup,
Like a poppy looking up;
Let Life lightly wear her crown,
Like the poppy looking down.
When it's heart is filled with dew,
And its life begin anew.
Teach me, Father. how to be
Kind and patient as a tree;
.Joyfully the crickets Groom
Under shady oak at noon,
Beetle. on his mission bent,
Tarries in that cooling tent;
Let me, also, cheer a spot.
Hidden field or garden gTot-
Place where passing souls can rest
ON the way and be their best.

Senator Flint's first interview with

posed to have been in relation to the
senator's choice of a California man
for the vacant place on the interstate
commerce commission. Assuming that
the senator presented his own choice
for the place, his first effort at fed
eral patronage control must have been
turned down with something akin to

KANSAS CITY. Dec. 9.-"Here's a
dime. Kindly pay my fare for me-"
The speaker was just alighting from
a Union avenue street car. The con-

"beating" the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way company out of nickel. His re-
quest was made 10 a man who was get
ting on the car at the same time that
he was getting off.
II haven't a nickel in change: so keep
the extra five cents for your trouble, "
the honest ono added as he hurried
away.
The passenger who took the money
gave the conductor the dime, and ex-
planned how he had come by 1t.
That's certainly an honest mar"
commented the conductor. This world
holds few like him"
But how about me-" inquired the
passenger.
"Oh, you're honest, too" said the con-
ductor. Still you got paid for your
trouble, you know"
