0'NEIL HEARING
Be Had Tonight Before Civil
Service Commission.
Supreme Court Decision May
Affect Discharged Policemen.

| A hearing not more than five min
utes long but of much significance in
municipal circles will take place be-
fore the civil service commission to-
night. 1t will follow the case of Geo.
! O'Neil, discharged superintendent of
the electric light plant, and is sched-
uled to begin at 8 o'clock. The five
policemen laid off by Mayor r. L. Cof-
ran-Dan Garden, Rufus Frazier Otto
| Anderson, w. H. Wilt and o. F. Haney
will demand reinstatement. They
| base their claim on the decision hand
! ed down last Saturday in the supreme
service appointees cannot be dis
charged without cause. The case was
brought by fifteen discharged en-
ployees of Kansas City, Kan, against
the municipal officers of that city.
When at the beginning of his ad-
ministration the mayor discharged the
five policemen without preferring
charges he was heard to remark that
he had plenty of cause did he care to
state it. Garden, Frazier and Ander-
son promptly appealed their case; the
civil service commission demanded
that the mayor reinstate them. The
mayor declined to do SO, preferring to
await the decision of the supreme
court.
1.-The decision has been made, and
there is no room for controversy" said
l. b. mum pnTleS, VINO Is HdnOllHS the
patrolmenS case. This evening I
imagine the civil service commission
will order the men reinstated. If the
mayor refuses to do so, further legal
proceedings will be started at once.
Tonight the petition and the supreme
court decision will be read. There's
nothing more to do. The whole af-
fair should not take more than five
minutes
This morning the mayor had heard
nothing about the hearing, and does
not intend to be present.
What action will you take If the
civil service board demands reinstate-
ment of the patrolmen? he was
asked.
The mayors answer left little doubt
as to his intentions.
"Fll pull the papers on them" he
replied.

The fighting continued throughout
the day but the federal guns were in
effective in dislodging the rebels
from their intrenched and fortified po
sitions. Furthermore, the federals did
not show the same aggressiveness
which characterized their action in the

lieved to be due to the fact that they
realize that for the present the gov.
