GIVES HIM CLEAN BILL.
Mayor Davis Formally Reinstates City
Engineer McCabe.

James f. McCabe, city engineer. and
w. e. King, assistant city engineer,
who were suspended January IA pend
ing charges of graft in the Fifth ward
sewer contract were reinstated by w.
H. Davis, mayor, last evening, who an
nounced that as far as he was con-
cerned, the charges had proven I'M
founded.
The appointment and the reinstate-
meat power lie solely with the
mayor and the council simply acts
in an advisory capacity. Therefore
though several of the cOuncilmen were
inclined to disagree with the mayor
concerning the reinstatement of Nc
Cabe and King, they had no power to
oppose the wishes of the chief execu-
tive. The reinstatement .Of sMcCabe
has been expected for somer time. and
the announcement of the decision of
the mayor last evening was not met
with any considerable surprise.
Mr.. McCabe will be in charge of the
Office until his successory is appointed
which will probably be next Monday
McCabe himself is not an applicant for
reappointment.
the mayor has felt all along that
McCabe was guiltless of the charges
and his action was in line with this
feeling, though the thing has bad
look which has not been explained
away.
IT don't think that there is anything

mayor. az am going to reinstate Mr.
McCaOe. L take this occasion OF re-
Installing Mr.. McCabe.''
Councilman Jordan, inquired: ct
would like to ask the mayor if this is
not in the hands of the committee?"
"a portion of it is but not this" re-
piled the mayor.
1.-The Investigating committee is not
entirely through with this and it don't
seem to me that this is in order" pro-
tested Councilman Horn
ssAs far as the council is concerned
che reinstatement of McCabe is in the
hands of the mayor and not in the
hands of the council. Is that the way
At stands?" asked Jordan.
YES SIR" came back from the
mayor. "As far as this administra-
ton is concerned this thing is settled.
In Justice to Mr.. McCabe and his fam
fly he should be reinstated-"
Both Councilmen Horn and Jordan
protested that the sewer committee
were still investigating and that the
charges had not been finally threshed
out The mayor told them that the
would not interfere with
the progress of the Investigations and
that they could be continued.

noon entailing a loss of about $3.50. The
fire was not discovered until it had
gained considerable Roadway and by
the time that the department had made
the long run necessary to reach it the

A horse which was standing united

ness and an automobile which Mr..

known how the fire started as there
was no one about the building at the
time the fire was discovered. The
barn was the property of Mrs. Ward
Burlingame.
