MANY RETIRED ON PENSIONS.
Especial to Tie sentineI.1

New York, Jan. 5.-Some 500 en-
ployes of the New York Central rail-
road and its affiliated lines were re-
tired from active service by the new
pension order which becomes effect
ice today.
This order requires that all en-
ployes who attain or have attained
the age of 20 years in the service of
the road, shall be retired and those
who have been 10 years continuously
in the service Immediately preceding
their retirement, shall be pensioned.
The new plan means that about
S225, 600 will be distributed annually
among the old employees of the road.
The rate at which the men are pen
stoned depends on their salary during
the 10 years preceding their retire
ment and the length of continuous
service in the company. For each
year of continuous service the pen
stoned nan Is to get / per cent of
the average pay received for the 10
years next preceding his retirement.
Thus conductor who has been 4 o
years in the service and whose aver
age pay has been S1,500 year,
would receive a pension of 5000 an
nually.
The new order also requires that
any employe who has been at least
90 years in continuous service and
who, in the opinion of the board of
pensions, has become untitled for
duty, may be retired and pensioned.
The new order applies to all the
lines subsidiary or affiliated with the
New York Central system, including
the BOSTON 6 Albany. the Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Chicago & st. Louis, the
Big Four. the Lake Shore. the Michi-
gan Central and the Michigan South
ern.

retary of the board of pensions, "the
harness had to be cut off some of the
old-timers.'

How Police Chief of Portland,
Ore, Is Defying Ring That
Rules City by Maintaining
"Closed" Town Where "Nide
Open" One Was Exepcted of
Him.

PORTLAND. Ore, April 90
A man too honest to hold his job.
That's what they say of A. M.
Cox, head of the Portland police
department. For Cox, in his hon.
esty, peculiar from the viewpoint
of the politician and the parasite,
the corporation and the ones who
stand for wide open devil-may-
care town, has upset some of the
incest, prettiest little schemes of
the political ring that now has
control OF this city.
Cox doesn't believe in acctpa-
ing bribes. He says:
II would rather retire from Of
flee at the end of my term and go
to the poor house knowing that !
was still honest, than retire
wealthy and know that was a
crook"
Following the last city election,
when the voterr turned the city
over to the corporation taskmas-
ter, Cox started to do things. Cor
poration rule stands for vicious
ness, and wide-open town. with
gambling and the other evils that
follow in its wake.

Cox refused. He did more. He
acted. In the face of political Chi

lowed out his ideas of what a po-
lice chief should be. He closed

Nc. 2.
And there are goats to come
after Finney.
Sure, we're to be the goats, "
said one of the department en-
ployes who is still to testify. But
one of these days some of those
higher up will find we're tired of
being goats"
Who the final goats are to be is
still in doubt. Next to Ballinger
himself the two most important
witnesses to come are Land Com
missioner Fred bennett and Chief
i of Field Service H. H. Schwartz.
And all signs point to bennett and
Schwartz as the two final goats for
Ballinger's misdeeds.
1t is the prevent this shifting of
responsibility that Atty. Louis d.
Brandeis, representing CLAWS in
the hearings, keeps on clamoring
for Ballinger to be put on as wit
ness before the subordinates are
heard. But Ballinger's friends on
the committee have upheld Ver-
trees in keeping Ballinger from
testifying.
If the committee in its slow de-
alterations finally decides that the
interior department cannot be
whitewashed, one or more of the
goats will be gently headed off in
to the wilderness. But rest assur-
ed 1t won't be goat No. 3-Fin-
ney.
Finney, who is drawing gov
ernment salary designed to repay
him for devoting all his time to
his duties in the interior depart
ment, is constantly at the hearings
as the personal representative of
Ballinger. In build he is a good
sized fellow, but in actions he re-
sembles the mouse. He has a lit
tie twittering whisker on his up
per lip, and when he talks he
moves his lips just as little as pos
sible.
During his testimony only sharp
scrutiny could see that whisker-
twittering, indicating speech issu-
ing from his lips. Whenever
Brandeis got him cornered he
would suck his head down between
his shoulders and rub his neck
nervously against his collar.
Finney testified Ballinger never
tried to influence the acts of his
subordinates. Cross-examined by
Brandeis, he admitted having talk
ed often with Ballinger upon con-
servation. Nervous rubbing OF
