WHITE TO GO FREE.
Former Patrol Driver Won't Be Tried
After All.

The assault case against ex-Patrol
Driver VIII White, which grew out Of
the scandal in the police force and i'm
plicated Chief Goodwin some weeks
ago, will be dismissed in the district
court tomorrow morning.
The assault charge was sworn to by
the parents of Frances Main who
claimed that their daughter had been
maltreated by the patrol driver The
charge at the time caused great indig-
nation and cost White his position on
the police force and started an investi-
cation by the city council whcih caused
Chief of Police Goodwin considerable
uneasiness.
At the time of the assault the Main
girl claimed that she had been enticed
into an alley by the patrol driver while
the chief of police and Mabel Scott
walked up an adjoining alley. The
story has since been denied and the
girl went before County Attorney Hun
gate and swore that the story which
she told and which caused the arrest
of White was entirely false. She
claimed taht she had been out too late
and that she had to tell her parents
something to excuse her conduct. AS
she insists that her first story was un-
true there is nothing for which White
can be held.

information that Eugene Wares ia
nous pension order No. IS, providing

clared invalid by the attorney general
of the United States. If the report
is true, it will have the effect of taking
away pensions from a large number

ceiving them.
The order provided that veterans
of 81 should have a pension of s6
per month, 65 would get So per
month, 6s- would get $40 per month.
and 10 or over S12 per month.

commissioner, who issued order No.
IS, said today:
II have not heard whether it is true
that this order has been declared in
valid, but I should not be surprised if
the report is correct. believe in the
order, and in the spirit which it man
ifests. Age is a disability. An old
man is no more able to make a living
than a one-legged man. or one
armed man. That is the basis of the
order. I think it is good sense and
good law. If the order is knocked d
out, ] suppose all the pensions grant
ed under it will also cease

no estimate on the number of pen
sions which would be affected, but
that it would be much in excess of
