POLICEMEN REFUSE
IOTDUTY ON CARS
Mayor Orders Men to Face
Stones, Bricks and Bullets
at Night in Strike

COLUMBUS. O., Aug. 12-Thirty- five
out of 40 members of the night police
force rebelIed tonight when called upon
by Mayor Marshall to board streetcars
in an effort to catch persons attacking
cars with stones. bricks and bullets
The mutineers, Mayor Marshall an
nounced, will be dismissed from the
force tomorrow
The mayor called only upon regular
policemen to assume the duty on cars
One hundred and thirty-seven special
policemen engaged especially for riot
duty in connection with the strike were
not drawn on for, this service, as they
were assigned to places where trouble
was expected. Included in the 80 who
refused TO board the cars are some of
the oldest men on the force.
Until today Mayor Marshall had with
stood pressure brought to bear by Off
eials of the Columbus railway and light
company to put policemen on cars. City
officials and members of the chamber
of commerce Joined in urging the
mayor to take this step and he con-
sented. although he said that he did not
favor the plan.
Within a few hours his change of
policy became known to the police and
there was widespread dissatisfaction
This reached elimination at roIlcaII
this evening. The mayor began to
make assignment and those in rebel
lion stepped out of the ranks.
There was little i'll feeling expressed.
although one policeman took of his
coat and asked the mayor to don it and
then board a car.
AS reason for their mutiny some said
that they had been warned by grocers
and butchers that If they rode on cars
they would be refused provisions.
Others said that they had belonged to
unions and others that they might wish
to join at some future time
After being told that If they refused
to obey the new orders they would be
dismissed, two men who had at first
rebelled stepped back into the line with
the regulars.
The mayor said later that he had
enough officers to man the so cars that
the company expected to operate to-
night.

Coal Oil
Army and Postal Authorities
Seek Light on Postmaster
Josephi's Thrift

Uncle Sans right hand tried to find
out what his left hand did at the
Presidio and in consequence two
branches of the United States govern
ment have become a trifie involved over
a, matter of ten gallons of coal oil and
half an hours delay of the insil wagon
The postmaster at the Presidioi is en-
titled to coal oil from the military
stores to light his postoffice as that
is a quartermaster building.
Friday of last week the Preside au-
thorities were informed that Postmas-
ter William NJ. Josephi had secured two
five gallon cans of coal oil for his
office. Instead of keeping. it to illuIEi-
nate it's legitimate circle. however, il
was believed that he was about TO send
it to his own home in Union street by
the mail wagon which left ar noon.
The officer of the guard was ordered
to search this wagon. He gave orders
to the guard at the Presidio avenue
gate to send the mail wagon back TO
the Lombard street gate should ii at
tempt to leave the reservation by the
former route
This was done and the wagon jour
neyed down the hill to Lombard street.
. where it was opened and found 10 be
guiltless sof even taint OF oil.
Further inquiry showed that the
kerosene had left the postoffice for
Postmaster Josephi's home but in
post exchange delivery wagon.
Letters were sent to him demanding
an explanation of this misappropria-
tion of government supplies and he
responded by declaring that the mill
tary authorities had laid themselves
open to serious charges also by delay
ing the progress of the United States
mail for 35 minutes and inspecting the
mail wagon.
Postoffice inspectors visited the
Presidio yesterday. The authorities
there said that they had no intention
of delaying the mail wagon. but deemed
it necessary to take the quickest and
surest means of preventing the theft
of government property. They apollo
gized to- the inspector.
Postmaster Josephi said that he did
not understand the military regulations
and thought the coal oil was for his
use anywhere he needed light. He
promised to send baek~the two cans.
The matter is not yet completed as
further investigation will be made by
postal authorities.
1t is understood that the war depart-
ment has been notified and what action
will be taken in regard to the post
master will be matter of later dem
onstration.
