REFUSE To SIGN
SALARY WARRANT
OF POLICE Chief
Civil Service Body Ignores New
East Orange Of
fcer.

Chief of Police William H. O'Neill, of
East Orange, today received a war
AM for his salary which the Civil
Service Commission refused to certify.
Mayor Julian A. Gregory and Auditor
Campbell T. Hedge signed the voucher,
and Chief O'Neillt is paid as a city Off :
cial.
The commission did not hold up the
salary list of sergeants and patrolmen,
which was signed by Chief O'Neill. as
was thought might be done, the COM
mission refusing to recognize him as
chief.
The question of whether the matter
will be carried to the courts in order
that 1t may be decided whether a
civil service examination should be
held for chief, or that Mayor Gregory
has the appointing power, as he and
City Attorney Borden d. Whiting
contend, and the assistant attorney
general rules against, is yet to be
settled.
The procedure now necessary is for
the commission to get out a writ
against Mayor Gregory or have some
citizen sue the officials responsible for
Chief O'Neill drawing his pay. Mayor
Gregory says If the courts must decide
in the end he hopes 1t will be done
quickly.
The commission wanted a friendly
suit started to nave the courts decide
the question. This could have beer
brought about by the city compelling
Chief O'Neill to sue for his salary, but
Mayor Gregory does not desire any

of interest and energy on several mat

decided dislike for the failure of the
members of the committee to attend
TIE boards. sessions and to make an
effort TO secure the sentiment Of the
members upon matters of public i'm

Mr.. Eastwood's remarks were
prompted when Freebooter John H

that he had had a conference with
General Edwin w. Hine, of the Pub

TO REOPEN DIETZ CASE.

Attorneys representing the state
and John Dietz will appear before
Judge Reid in this city next Saturday.
Their purpose is to agree upon bill
of exceptions which will be filed with
the supreme court by the defense.
Attorney Maurice McKenn2 of Fond
du Lac, who represents the defendant,
claims that too much of the testimony
offered in the trial related to other
offenseS than the one for which DietZ
was tried. The testimony covers
about 1920 pages OF paper and
only about 300 relate to the killing
of Oscar Harp, for which DietZ
is serving a prison sentence. Mr..
McKenna claims that DietZ, who
conducted his own case and who was
unfamiliar with law, did not make
the proper exceptions. He wants the
bill of exceptions to show law ques-
tions which DietZ did not ask because
of his unfamiliarity with the law.
The defendant is also represented by
Atty. j. E. Malone of Dodge county,
and the state by Dist. Atty. A S.
Williams of Sawyer county, and ".
NJ. James of Eau Claire. 1t is quite
likely that the four will be in this
city next Saturday

R. E. PARCHER MEMORIAL.
Beautiful Ornamental Lights Given the Public Library on
Tuesday Evening Addresses by Prominent Citizens.

He read set of resolutions passed at
that time, recognizing gifts made by
our citizens and and among those
names was r. E. Parcher, who do
mated to the chemical equipment.
G. X. Ellingson of Hawkins, gave
his impressions of Mr.. Parcher as
friend. He recounted how when he
was starting out as struggling
lumberman, Mr.. Parcher had come to
him with finances. He lost his saw
mill by fire, and was owing Mr..
Parcher $4,000. The latter allowed
him to go on and carry out his plans,
without any interference by making
demands for the return of the loan.
Jas. Montgomery confined himself
SO "reminiscences of the man, gained
| from personal contact with him. The
stories the speaker told proved that
Mr.. Parcher was quick witted and
ever had a ready answer. By intimate
acquaintance one learned many of his
characteristics not perceptible to a
person of less familiarity with him.
S. B. Tobey said that the library is
| of the utmost Importance in any
community, for it stimulates the
mind-growth of the boys and girls.
That the local library is well patron
lied was illustrated by figures which
Mr. Tobey DrOduced. He was of the
opinion that if teachers used the Ii
brary more their methods of teaching
certain subjects would be stronger.
Louis Marchetti said that he had
