Such is Charge Made by
Republican Mem bers
I,sleib Introduces a Motion to En-
ploy a Special Attorney to De
tend City Boyd Replies.

Hot shots galore were fired at a
meeting OF the service board last
night and the general tprget of all
of the members was Elmer T. Boyo
Republican city solicitor whom the
Republican members charged with
being more in sympathy with i'm
terests opposed to the city than with
the interests which he should pro-
tcct.
For time It looked as though
thGe would be q serious clash be-
tween the solicitor aud the members
It all developed over question OF
barb wire fence around the Evans
property opposite the Commercial
club. The service board had declar-
ed war on this fence and ordered
tho city solicitor to commence pro.
ceedings to have it removed.
last night Boyd was called to ac-
count for his tardiness in sterling
proceedings. o. A. Busard, president
of the board in warm speech
roasted the solicitor and the othey
members helped him out little
Wiilc interest was at fever hept
Member Issdeib jumped up and in
troduced a motion 20 employ ex-
City Solicitor II. w Donithen Ia
defend the city and to look out for
the city's interests in pending liti-
gaticn. There was no second to the
motion. Everyone was too anxious I,
talk to think of stopping to Sec
ond q motion,
Boyd in a speech defended his
actions and resented the course pur-
sued by the members.
This Is not the first clash that
has occurred between the board and
the solicitor

NORMAL THEORY IS DIsPRovED
Quite Preposterous In the Light of
Present-Day Estremism.

Philosophers seldom tire OF booming
the normal and deprecating the all
round abnormal tendency. They insist
that the normal life is good for our
bodies, and exc for our consciences.
But this is absurd. We cannot en-
JOY ourselves and at the same time
be normal Every pleasure is some
thing which is abnormal to us. Every
man and woman at the present day
who sets out with the object of
achieving distinction, or popularity of
any description, must be abnormally
good or abnormally bad before 1t can
create an impression. The normal
theory is a preposterous one.
Imagine a woman in normal clothes!
At the present moment woman has
attained the pinnacle of notoriety in
the opposite direction, and on its top
most point is set her hat. Imagine
the successful athlete in a normal
condition. Imagine the winner OF a
motor race as q normal pleasure
seeker; and there are others--too
many to mention.-Philadelph Rec.

OPERATORS ARE ACCUSED
. OF SYSTEMATIC ROBBERY
Charge Made That the Western Union
Telegraph Company Has Beer
Muicted of Thousands of
Dollars

Portland, Ore.-A systematic inves-
tigation by the Western Union Tele-
graph company carried on during the
past six months has disclosed an or
ganized system of theft among rail-
road operators on the Pacific coast. by
reason of which the telegraph com
pany has been robbed OF an amount
estimated at several hundred thou
sand dollars, according to a statement
made by an official of the company,
who is in charge of the investigation.
Complaints made in several in
stances that messages fled at certain
stations had not been sent or deliv-
cred and the falling of of receipts at
other places on railroad lines caused
the Western Union officials to insti-
tute a thorough investigation A Sc
cret service was organized and it
was found that in some instances 60
per cent of the money received for
messages filed at railroad Offices
never reached the telegraph COM
pany The kilograms, with but few
exceptions, were properly transmitted
and delivered, but all record of the
dispatches so far as reports and
bookkeeping pertalned, had been de-
stroyed.
! Following the discovery and proof
| G. theft warrants were obtained for
the arrest of several operators in the
| state of Washington, and 1t is alleged
| ty officials of the company that at
least one Of the arrested men has
confessed The arrested men will be
brought to trial shortly after the first
| of the year.
According to the information gath
cred by the telegraph company, sys-
| tematic collision in the robberies ex-
listed among certain railroad opera
tors. In some offices the thefts, it is
asserted, aggregated several hundred
dollars a month, and officers of the
company believe that during the past
year the total Of the sums stolen Will
exceed 100000. Only railroad oper-
ators are said to be involved in the
| robberies.
