BOYLE MAY FIGHT
TO RETAIN OFFICE
Ousted President of Board OF
Education Will Seek Legal
Advice in Matter
Asserts School Directors Hold
Positions Under State Law
and Doubts Mayors Power

Thomas Boyle, president of the board
of educa ton. dismissed on Tuesday by
Mayor Taylor, limited yesterday that
he intended to fight the process of law
under which he was deposed.
Il understand that a school director
holds office under state law and that
the mayor has not the right to dismiss
an officer in the school department
summarily. Mayor Taylor asked me
two weeks ago for my resignation.
| refused to comply. | told him that
believed that his mind was set on
gaining control of the board of edu-
cation by making two new directors,
one in my vacated seat and another
in the place of Director Altman, whose
term expires on the first of the year.
THE mayor admitted that he took
great personal interest in the police
and school departments. He suggested
to me that he intended to have Direc-
tor Joseph O'Connor- president of the
board. He said that he would make it
easy for me to resign. If 1 would, leav-
ing me on the payroll until February
L. l refused to resign.
Il will consult Garret McEnerney,
my attorney on the legality of the dis
missal, and will abide by his decision.

about it at the time of our conversa-
ton. / may say that there has been

department, and that no new office.
as intimated, was created. The motion
was not made by me for his appoint
ment, and was carried when presented,
as the record shows, by the unanimous
vote of the board.
The board of education met yester-
day to transact routine business, and
Aaron Altman was chosen temporary
chairman of the board, to act in the
place of Boyle.
Director OsConnor made the motion
appointing Altman and Director oliver
seconded it.
The board adjourned until o'clock
this morning, when number of trans
fers of teachers will be made.

ORDER HITS FERRY
BUILDING TENANTS
Harbor Commissioners Forbid
State Employees to Work
for Private Concerns
Jealousy Among Workmen Is
Cause of Edict Which Leaves
Many in Quandary

on and after January 1 ferry build
ing tenants must procure their Janitors
from among others than employees Of
the state of California This edict has
been issued by the harbor commission
ers, landlords of the building.
In letter addressed to J. T. Car
penter. superintendent of janitOrs and
sweepers at the ferry building. Presi-
dent Stafford orders that all janitor
work in the building, outside of that
part used by the state, must be done
by janitors not in the states employ.
There seems to be considerable dis
satisfaction and discomfort over the
fact that some OF our janitors are per-
forming private janitor service for a
number of tenants. for which they re-
ceive additional pay" reads the letter.
1T has always been claimed that
this service was performed after hours
and was done strictly during the mems
own time. There is so much charge
and countercharge to the contrary,
however, that L think it viii be well
if we eliminate the business alto
gether.
please advise all concerned that on
and after January l our tenants must
make other arrangements No jani-
tors will be allowed to perform serv-
ice of any description around the build
ing for any one whatsoever except the
state
STAFFORD said yesterday that he had
become tired of the complaints that
had come to him from several of the
janitors, who, from all appearances,
were jealous Of their more fortunate
fellow workmen who did extra service.
The tenants refuse to make any
statement. They declare that they can
not understand the order and are in
a quandary as to where they shall pro-
cure janitors to clean their Offices

The alleged swindler is registered at

Count Winnick Won Gassendorf He ar
rived several days ago from the north
and has been posing as wealthy man
of leisure AT the time the telegram
from Seattle was received the count
was Negotiating for the purchase of a
high priced automobile from the Stude-
baker automobile company. The pur-
chase was made. 50 far as signing an
order was concerned. but GassendOrf's s
failure to find enough money TO pay for
telegram led to a suspicion. which
was later heightened by his story Of
the loss Of a NEUROLOGICAL purse.
WANTED IN SEATTLE
Invest tigation brought to light the fact
that Gassendorf is wanted by the Stude-
Baker people in Seattle and in several
ether cities by large firms which he is
accused If having mulcted Of consider
able sums. He is said 10 have worked
ais game in many parts of the United
States. and a number Of warrants are
said 10 have been issued for his arrest.
Tuesday afternoon G8ssendorf called
at the salesroom Of the Studebaker
eonpany, shortly before closing time,
and said that he wished to purchase a
high priced car TO use on a trip to
Mexico. He asked to have a car sent
10 the Fairmont yesterday morning for
q demonstration. He said that he had
owned a smaller Studebaker machine
but desired the larger car and would
pay cash for il with a letter of credit
which be would present to local bank

yesterday morning to carry out the
demonstration. From the hotel they
drove to the First national bank, where

would cost 75 cents. and he appeared
to be exceedingly. embarrassed when he
could find only 65 cents on his person.
For awhile the count was inclined
to drop the whole matter. explaining
that he had accidentally left his purse
at the hotel. The necessary 10 cents
was loaned by Bradford and the tele-
gram sent on its way. Gassendorf ac-
cepted the loan with profuse thanks
and was then driven back to the hotel
in quest Of his purse.
After few minutes inside the hotel
the count returned with a somewhat
sheepish expression on his face, ex-
planning that the purse was gone and
that he believed it had been taken from
him by a woman with whom he visited
several beach resorts on the previous
night He said that he had drank large
quantities Of Rhine wine, topping it
off with champagne, and that he had
got very much intoxicated
Bradford suggested that if his Gus
toner had an open account in Seattle
he would have no difficulty in procuring
funds, and Gassendorf frightened at
once He accepted the machine and
gave an order for $4,000 in favor of

The Democratic organization was
niyided on athe matter OF fusion be-
tween the Democrats and Prohibi-
tionists. One division worked dill
gently to persuade the. Prohibitions
lists 70 permit fusion. while the other
worked as diligently in the opposite
direction and won. The latter de-
Glazed fthat they did not believe III
letting two or three hundred Prohi-
sbitionists control what little Demo
cratic party there is in Harrison coun-
ty. but that they believe there should
be a distinct Democratic party in
the county.
The other division of the organiza-
ton had more selfish objects in view.
1t, was not a matter of party welfare
with them but purely one of self In
terest. They hoped by using the
Prohibition party to get control of
the county and fill all its offices with
themselves.
Naturally, the Prohibitionists, If
left alone, are for straight party prin-
ctples and a straight ticket, and, with
this, and the pressure brought to
bear by that part Of the Democratic
party opposed to fusion, the declara-
ton against fusion was obtained.
This means there viii have to be
some shifting and changing of the
plans laid by the star chamber plot
tiers, as the situation now is entirely
different from that planned and hoped
for by them.
Efforts arc already reported look
ing to bargains and barterlng OF the
public offices. 1t Is known that over
lures have been made and that nego-
tiations are on for certain offices to
be shared in by others than those
who will be nominated to fill them.
The machine composed OF fewer than
a half dozen men are determined to
feed at the public crib, though not
openly, and the plan is to contract
with the .incumbents, IL they should
be Democratic, to divide with them
the spoils of office. No Democrat. If
elected to county Office this year. will
be permitted to draw and keep all
his salary, but every one of them
will be required to share their salar-
les with the members of the machine,
who, as stated are fewer than half
dozen.
1t remains to be seen whether the
rank and file of the party, which
boasts of Its Democratic Characters
tics and independence OF thought and
action and equalization of rights and
privileges, will stand for such hog
combine arrangement.

PEACHES SAVED
Crops Will Be Plentiful in the

The recent cool weather, covering
period of two weeks, has caused

in from the country, but summing
them all up and striking an average
1t is certainly safe to say that large
peach crop is apparently assured
Some small orchards on low lands
suffered severely from frosts, the
fruit, in some instances, being all
killed. In other orchards some
varieties were killed. In other or
chards the peaches are reported as
dropping badly, but in most of the
latter cases there will be an abun-
dance left ii rs per cent of them
