SHELTON
RESIGNS
POSITION
AS DISCIPLINARIAN AT REFORM
SCHOOL, AND so DOES CHESTER
CANNON-THEY CANNOT GET
ALONG WITH SUPERINTENDENT
HALE.

Roscoe Shelton, for the past three or
four years disciplinaran at the Ore
gon Industrial school, has resigned,
and it has come as a complete sur
prise, not only to the general pub
lic but also, to the members Of the
state board, for despite the fact that
that the law invests them with supreme
power to appoint the superintendent
for the institution, and all subordi-
mates, and also 10 prescribe the rules
and regulations, none of them, when
questioned this morning, we're aware
that Shelton had resigned, or that any
other changes had been made.
Inability to work in harmony with
the newly-appolnted superintendent,
W. s. Hale, is the reason for the res
ignatlon of Shelton. and it is under
stood other employees OF the instltu-
tion are contemplating resigning for
the same reason. There has been one
other Observation-Disclosures Cannon,
as farmer, but Hale declares that he
had rendered his resignation before he
was appointed superintendent.
The main thing upon which Hale
and Shelton could not agree was the
formers action in abolishing corporal
punishment at the institution. Shelton
is declared to have rebelled against 1t,
and just a few days before his resig-
nation went into effect, because Hale
saw fit to call him down for punish
ing an inmate, he bid farewell to the
school, and since then has not been
connected with It,
superintendent Hale, shortly after
his assuming charge Of the institu'
of intoxicants or tobacco by employees
would be allowed. He says this was
not made applicable to any one, but
made a general rule and 1t is said
that the innunendo contained in II
was resented by the employees.
Hale would not discuss the situation
any further than to say that Shelton
and he could not agree upon the dis.
clpline in the school.
Neither would Shelton discuss It
further than to say that he resigned
because of failure to work in harmony
with the superintendent, and that he
understood others we're considering
taking similar steps.
C. I. stahl, Of Portland, and former
ly a teacher at the school, has been
appointed to succeed Shelton, and
Herbert c. Davis. also a teacher, IL
succeed Cannon
Whether the state board now that
It Is advised that changes have beer
made in the staff Of the cshool, ant
also in the rules and regulations, will
ratify them. remains to be seen.

by Governor West, still is district at
torney Of Multnomah county, accord
ing to a ruling OF Judge McGlnn, in
the the circuit court today. Judge

ly, appointed by Governor West TO
succeed Cameron, while not district
attorney, is special prosecutor, with
full authority to conduct an investi-
cation for Governor West, in the lat
ter's crusade against vice in Port
land.
The courts ruling was made in
connection with the quo warranto pro-
ceedings brought by Cameron to have
Esterly declared ousted from the Of
flee Of district attorney, and himself
declared the legal occupant Of that
office,
The ruling satisfied both Cameron
and Governor West, Judge McGinn

that the interests Of the community
would be best served by Cameron's be-
ing retained in office, with Easterly
acting independently as a special pros
ecutor.

"deadwood." He said Governor West
was absolutely without authority to
remove Cameron.

open letter to the ''liquor dealers OF
