INSPECTOR ELkEN
IS DISCHARGED

- AS a result of the disclosures con-
cerning the issuance OF bogus inspec-
tion certificates from the Office of the
Department of Electricity. Arthur Ell
ken, an inspector Of that Office, was
summarily discharged yesterday by W.
Electricity, with the sanction of the
joint Board of Commissioners of vthe
Electrical Department.
When faced with the charge of hav-
ing given certificate of inspection to
H. Morgan and B. MCGUIRE, employees
of the MARYLAND Electric Company,
whose certificate OF qualification and
bonds were not on file in the Office Of
the department Elken admitted having
done SO without authority, but denied
having taken any fee. The case was
brought to the attention of the Com
missioners by Chief Hewitt, and let
ter In answer to his communication was
received yesterday morning. The let
ter said that II his report was correct
there could be but one remedy, and
that was prompt dismissal.
The discharge Of Elken does not con-
fict with the authority of the Civil
porary employe, appointed to the posi-
tion he held. Chief Hewitt said that
while forgery had been committed by
Elken in signing his name to the fake
certificate he would take no further
steps In the matter, and that In view
OF Elken's confession the dismissal
must be considered as a discharge for
taking the blank inspection form from
the Office and not on the ground that
he had collected an illegal fee
In answer to the suggestion that
Elken's act might have been due to
influence exerted by other members OF
the department, Chief Hewitt took de-
oided exception He said yesterday;
know nothing about this matter being con-
nected with any one higher up. II any sus-
picion OF that nature attacnes 70 tne sya eon.

The spectators did not agree with the
decision Of the judges in the opening
bout of the night between Tom McCar-
thy and Eddie Hardes. Two of the off,
Gals decided in favor of Mccarthy, who
finished strongly in the last round. His
opponent did all the forcing. Neither
made any pretensions to boxing skill,
but they put up two spells OF slugging
which pleased the crowds.
Jerry Fairbanks was given the deci-
sion over Al Schrein after four rounds
full Of desperate lighting. Both are
lzO-pounders, but they hit like middle
weights. Fairbanks was knocked down
In the second round and took the count
Of eight. In the fourth round both
were Knocked down at the same time
one by a straight left to the body and
the other by left hook to the body.

Eddie, Madison cleverly outpointed
Rudy Morve in their four-round bout.
Madison used a left jab to the face
with marked effect on his opponent. He
blacked both Morve:s eyes and cut him
about the mouth. Madison tired badly
In the last round, but he won by good
margin.
