ONE HUNTED HEAD
OUTW|TS TIE AK
Forearmed Assistant Clerk of
Supervisors Cheats Lord
High Executioner

Supervisor Nelson won a new title
to fame, Supervisor Loughery broke
from his union labor colleagues, and an
assistant clerk of the board cleverly
beat the executioner to the block, all
in 10 minutes of the session yesterday
devoted to some expected but long de-
layed ak work.
Nelson introduced a bill dismissing
Miss kathryn G. Sullivan from the post
of stenographer.
81 would ask of the clerk if Miss
Sullivan is not competent?" queried
Supervisor Hayden.
''She is competent" asserted Clerk
Hagerty.
well, then, I should have hoped
that Supervisor Nelson, who has earned
the title of lord high executioner, would
have at least spared the women in this
political warfare Miss Sullivan is a
noncombatant and should not be sub
jected to the penalty of political war
fare
The board voted the dismissal against
the following Noes: Bancroft, Cut
ten, Hayden. Harris, Hooks, Loughery
and Murdoch.
Miss Annie Murphy was then unani-
mously awarded the place.
CHEATS THE ExECUTIONER
