POLICE CHIEF McWEENY HANDS
IN HIS RESIGNATION

IN HIS RESIGNATION
John McWeeny, chief of police
since the. spring of 1911, resigned
yesterday and completed his service
of twenty-eight years on the force.
Politics and Major Funkhouser are
said to be the reasons for his resigna-
ton.
McWeeny was the sort of a chief
that is soon forgotten. Strictly
honest, McWeeny never did anything
to uplift the police department, nor
anything to harm it. He was simply
a monkey-on-the-stick.
McWeeny has been showed into the
background since M. L. G. Funk
houser was made second deputy SUI
perintendent of the police. There
has been constant pickering between
the two, which eliminated in the re-
port on vice conditions made to the
mayor by Funkhouser.
A fight was started as to who
would have jurisdiction over the sup
preston of vice and gambling. The
ere ument reached such a stage that
the mayor took a hand in and the
matter was thrashed out in his Office
yesterday. At the end of it the mayor
sided with Funkhouser.
"All right, your Honor, I'm
through" said Chief McWeeny as he
walked away. A short time later his
written resignation reached Harrison
with the request that it become eff
fective Immediately.
1t was inevitable that McWeeny's
authority would be stripped from him
the moment a stronger man appear
ed. And such a man was Funk
houser
McWeeny was primarily police
man, and a good one. But as a chief
he allowed the department to become
stagnant. Under him the force got
into such state that the reorganiza-
ton plan was showed through, fos-
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-10-24

ranks and that no political pun would
get man the place. He thought the
ne whead would be named by Mon
day. He blamed McWeeny's lack of
sympathy with the reorganization
plan as the reason for his resignation.
Several names have been mem
toned for the place. Major Funk
houser is one Of them. But the
mayor at the time he went into Office
said he was opposed to a civilian
chief.
First Deputy Schuettler is also
mentioned. But Schuettler is now a
civil service man and it would be
hardly sane for him to take a job SO
full of thorns as chief of police win be
for the next year and half.
Next in line comes Capt. Paddy
LAWN Of the Hyde Park station, the
strikebreaking policeman, pet of the
packer sand friend of Andy Law
renee. But the mayor wouldn't dare
fiaunt the union men of Chicago by
appointing him.
Captains P. D. O'Brien and Capt.
John Halpin are also strong candi-
dates. Likewise Capt. Thomas F.
Meagher of Desplaines street station.
Congressman SABBATH, who is striv-
ing to become political dictator, is

TO COMMENCE BRICK MAKING

Williams & Finnie, owners of the

WORKING UPWARD

Most Of the old brakemen on the
passenger runs in and out Of Oroville
are now braking on freight and con-
struction trains This change from a
natty uniform and the luxury of a
passenger coach to overalls and the
smudgy work of wrestling with freight
cars may seem a singular choice to
the initiated, but it appears that under
the system of advancement in the rail-
road service nowadays once a passen-
n brakeman always a passenger

goes in for railroading is ambitious
FOR promotion he must start from the

BIG SCHOOL FUND

The apportionment of school mon
eys for distribution among the var
ious counties of the state LOT the
month of April was the largest
amount ever cut up at one time IL the
history of the state. This apportion-
ment of school money is based upon
the number of days attendance, and
the district that is Jealous in seeing
that every scholar of school age puts
in as mauy days in the school room
as possible is the district that draws
the greatest proportionate amount
Okanogan falls in for the helpful and
handsome sum of $15,635.6O, which
will come in very timely for the num-
erous school districts Of the county.
Albert Coy, of Chase, B. c., young
man who is in the real estate game
and plays it more successfully than
most of the older heads, was in town
couple of days the latter part OF
last week. He has taken a fancy to
Oroville and the Okanogan valley. and
may eventually locate at this place.
The young men about town have
put the tennis court, Just north of the
drug store, in shape, and the exhil-
arating game will be popular sport
during the summer. To play it right
| requires much skill and agility, and
| it is both healthful and interesting
pastime.

AN OkANOGAN BOOSTER

Jas. e. Forde rs,nrned to his home
1T Spokane Saturday after having
spent some three weeks in Oroville,
looking after the extensive work I'M
der way upon the several tracts of land
in which he is interested located near
this place. AS one of the pioneer
merchants of this upper country Mr..
Forde has a warm place in his heart
for Okanogan county, and apparently
he is never so happy and contented
as when up here looking after his
holdings. Nothing would better please
his friends in this place and vicinity
and their name is legion-than If he
would elect to return and make a
permanent home in Oroville He is
imbued with much public spirit, and
in his quiet way has a great influence
in promoting and fostering movements
for the common good.

WHY so CRUEL!

Miles Poindexter is the object of a
malicious attack in recent issue of
the Navy Yard American, a paper pub
lished by j. w. Bryan, representative
at-large from this state. Bryan. at
the present time, is a bull mooser. and
his assault upon PoindeXter is mex
plcaDie, unless he is preparing to
groom himself for United States SEN
ator in 1916.
Bryan's paper pictures Poindexter
as sort of Ishmalite, who stands
alone in his iniquity. 1t reproduces a
likeness OF Miles under which appears
the following scathing declaration:
Senator Miles Poindexter, the only
L. ). senator who, though elected a
republican, has filed as progressive,
and refused to add the word repub-
ilcan to his party designation"
Many harsh and caustic things have
Deen said about public men in this
state, but this is probably the mean
est cruelest, most brutal of them all
The Gazette has small regard for
Poindexter and ordinarily would have
little sympathy to waste upon him.
BUT this attack of the Navy Yard
American approaches calumny. If
may be true that Poindexter secured
ONCE under false pretenses. but if is
doubtful that he did so with malice
aiorothonght. Mr., Bryan surely knows
that Senator Pondexter changes his
Poilticai principles with the same
ease and uncoucern that he changes
MS shirt, and doubtless far ostener

Some kindly person ought to help
the Spokesman-Review to urtangle
itself and find out where it is at"
Last spring, as late as March 20. the
Review supported Pres. Taft for re-
nomination. After short period Of
silence following that date It went
over to Roosevelt body, soul and
breeches. From that time on until
election it hammered away against
the republican party, the republican
tariff and demand that the bull moose
be elected that the platform pledges
of immediate reduction of excessive
schedules be sacredly kept. This was
one of the clauses of that compact"
as the Review delighted in designating
the platform of the bull moose. Now
the Review is devoting columns each
week in protest against a reduction
in the tariff schedules as proposed by
the democrats. 1t simply wont be sat
