Want a Job?
Peder's Out

Do you want a job as civil ser
vice commissioner?
Peder Jensen resigned this
morning and his resignation was
accepted by the council. Jensen
said he had a better job as SEN
ator.
He took a few parting shots at
the commission for not being
more enthusiastic over civil SER
vice and said the improvement
clubs were back of a movement
to have the whole charter amend
ed in this respect to provide a
civil service that will be effective.
Mayor Fawcett says he is in
favor of this but that the present
attempt at civil service Is a farce
for the employe is given no pro-
lection in his job.

of $500, Edward G. Fox, a local
milk dealer, alleges that his wife
secretly adopted baby from a
hospital and made him believe
that she was it's mother. Fox is
seeking damages from DR.. Dean
for participation in the alleged
plot to make him believe he was
a father when he was not.
The complaint alleges that Mrs.
Fox felt her husbands love wan
ing, and with the view of strength
ening the matrimonial bond pre-
tended to become a mother. For
eight months afterward their mar
ried life was happy, then Fox sued
and secured divorce.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 80.
Whether Joseph G. Cannon will
be speaker of the last session of
congress, when it eonyenes next
week, is a question which is agi-
tating the political world here.
That James r. Mann, of Illinois,
may be speaker is a report that is
being circulated today, following
a conference between the speaker.
President Taft and Mann.
None of the principals in the
conference, which lasted more
than two hours, would say what
its subject was, but that it was
held before the caucus for the Sc
lection of the republican nominee
for speaker is considered signifi-
cant by many of the congressman
already in Washington.
Mann, it is believed, would be
acceptable to the insurgents as
well as the regulars.
