BY THE
JURY
City Officials of Chicago, Implicated
in the Famous Shale- Rock Scan
dal, Must Now Stand Trial on
the Charge of Conspiracy.
ROCK WAS NOT ROCK AT ALL
By Associated Press. ]

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Four true bills,
charging city hall officials with con-
'spiracy in connection with the $45,-
600 shale-rock scandal, were returned
by the county grand jury today.
The men who are indicted are John
Erickson, city engineer; Michael Nc
Govern, contractor; Paul Redieske,
former deputy commissioner of pub
lie works, and Ralph A. Bonnell, for
mer assistant city engineer.
All of the above men. with the ex-
ception of Erickson, were indicted Il
short time ago in connection with an
alleged attempt to defraud the city
out Of about a quarter of a million
dollars In the building of section N
Of the Lawrence Avenue sewer.
The shale-rock scandal, also, was
unearthed in the construction of sec
ton d of the same sewer. The city
paid McGovern's company more than
$4,000 for the removal Of a large
quantity of so-called shale-rock. Up
on examination by experts 1t was
stated that the shale-rock was no.
thing more than hard clay and Of
fered little obstruction.

TODAY IN THIS CITY FORTY
PEOPLE SEEKING Fifteen
CENSUS ENUMERATOR PLACES

Today on the second floor of the
Y. NJ. C. A. building Is being held
the largest civil service examination
which was ever held in this city. The
examination is under the charge of
census supervisor of the western
slope district, Henry j. Baird, of
Delta. who was appointed to the
position by President Taft. He is
assisted by Civil Service Examiner
Rider and one or two of the postal
service men.
Supervisor Baird stated to The
Sentinel that he was extremely well
pleased with the class of applicants
which faced him this morning and
while there are some forty names on
the list and only fifteen appointments
he is sure that any of the large num-
ber would ably fill the positions.
In the last census in 1900 for par
ticularly this district, there were only
seven officials chosen and II is upon
the recommendation of Mr.. Baird
that this number Is increased to fif-
teen. necessitated by the remarkable
increase in population of the valley
Supervisor Baird is one of the lead
ing attorneys of Delta.
The examination papers are first
graded by Mr. Baird and then sent to
Washington for approval and the an
nouncements of the successful com
petitors will be made in period of
about four weeks by Supervisor
Baird.
The following local people are TAX
ing the examination:
John Sidwell.
Grace W. Wheeler.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Thc bill pro-
vides that the proposed commission
shall consist of nine members, three
of whom are to be members of the
senate, three members of the house
and three to be appointed by the
president. The measure grows out OF
efforts of the public expenditure COM
mittee TO reduce government expen-
ditures.
Senator Aldrich stated that the bill
had the unanimous sanction OF the
expenditures committee and sought
to obtain immediate consideration.
In this request he was antagOnized by
Senator Elkins, who said he desired
an opportunity to determine whether
the commission would interfere with
the functions Of the congressional
committees. Accordingly the bill
went over, but Mr.. Aldrich gave no
tce that he would call It mp again.

pie"
