Examining
the Hale
Charges
State Board Settles It's Dis
pute by Turning Invest.
CATION of Reform School
Charges over to Treasurer

Seemingly averting a disruption of
the state board which threatened to be
the elimination of differences existing
among the members, the formal in
vestigation of the administration of
Superintendent Will s, Hale, of the
state training school was this morn
ing turned over entirely to State
Treasurer Kay, who will investigate
by private interviews with witnesses.
Secretary 0lcott is evidently the peace
maker Of the board.
The formal inquiry into the affairs
of Superintendent Hale and of Super
intendent Frank Smith, Of the state
school for the feeble minded, set for
TINS afternoon in the office of Governor
Wes., has been called off. Apparently
the Smith investigation is dropped en-
tirely

Treasurer Is Trusted.

State Treasurer Kay has been con-
sidered the member of the board most
to be feared by Superintendent Hale,
since he was the first to learn of the
charges made against the latter. How
ever, in a statement made yesterday,
Superintendent Hale expressed the
fullest confidence in the integrity Of
all Of the members of the board, and a
statement issued by the governor this
morning indicates that the executive
feels that Hale's destiny is safe in
Treasurer Kay's hands. The governor
is loyal to Hale.
The governors statement follows:
Referring to the matter Of investi-
cation into the affairs and manage
ment of the Oregon State Training
school, the board has referred the
whole matter to State Treasurer Kay
with request that he fully investi-
gate the charges that have been given
currency The board is satisfied that
any investigation made by Mr.. Kay
will be thorough and impartial, and
will therefore leave the matter entire
ly in his hands"
VIII Report to Board.
At the completion of his investiga-
tion Treasurer Kay will report to the
board and notice of further action will
be issued from that body as an organ
ization.
Treasurer Kay began his investiga-
tion this morning by taking testimony
from j. w. Saunders, the cook who
was discharged by Superintendent
Hale because he wrote a letter to
members of the board alleging too lax
discipline by Hale. Later Saunders
made statements that the moral stand
ards Of the boys in the institution was
deplorable. 1t is presumed that SINH
lar statements will be embodied in the
testimony taken from Saunders this
morning.
Two charges have been preferred
against Superintendent Hale, The first
was that he had purchased cattle for
the school without proper authority
The other was that his discipline is
too lax. The testimony Of Saunders
has bearing on the second charge. 9th
er employees, and also students from
the training school will be called Ia
testify by Mr.. Kay.
Smith Seems Clear.
All indications point to no further
action with regard to Superintendent
Smith. Governor West had called the
investigation because or charges made
against Smith to the governor by other
persons. When asked this morning
what statement he had to make con.
cerning the proposed investigation o.
Smith, Governor West said:
"The matter Is on the hook"
Treasurer Kay and Secretary o.
State 0lcott declared that there Is
nothing to investigate in Smiths cast
because no charges have been filed

BURLES0N HAS NEW PLAN
Political Activity Will Have no Effect
on Postmastership.

Washington. - Postmaster General
Burleson began developing his plan to
prescribe a civil service examination
for fourth-class postmasters. He con-
suited with Civil Servle Commission
er John A. McIlhenny, who told him
it would be practical TO hold examina-
tions that would be true tests of the
applicants ability.
OF the fourth-class postmasters,
nearly 10000 now are in the classi-
fled service, having been placed there
by executive orders under the Roose-
welt and Taft administrations. Post
master General Burleson said that the
spirit of the civil service was violat-
ed in putting all these offices into the
classified service and that he proposed
to place them on strictly civil SER
vice basis.
'Slany of those who hold positions
as fourth-class postmasters,' said Mr..
Burleson, secured them as a result
Of pernicious political activity. The
postoffice department should be a
business institutions, run on scientific
business lines. I intend to use the
weight of my influence to make it
such"
He added that the plan on which
he was working was his own; that he
had not discussed it with President
Wilson.
