JONES IS OPPOSED
TO SPECIAL HELP
Says Wire Ordinance Was Passed With
Understanding 1t Would Not
Create New Job.

There was a prolonged discussion at
the council meeting last evening over a
proposition to hire an o. A. G. man to
act as electrical inspector under the or
dinance recently passed. The matter
was brought up by Councilman Stolz,
who stated that the city engineer has
been called upon to perform additional
duties as a result of the ordinance re-
Gently passed, and the office was al
ready overloaded with work. He called
on City Engineer Tillman to explain
the situation.
Engineer Tillman said he could get a
young man for SO per day, and that,
besides his duties inspecting wires, the
employe would assist in engineering
work. He figured he would need him
three or four months.
Councilman Jones strenuously object
ed, declaring that when the ordinance
was passed it was distinctly understood
that it would not mean the employment
of additional help in the engineers Of
flee. He declared it was a disgrace to
foist another man on the city, and said
it looked to him as though the council
was trying to give some one job, He
declared that the expert who was here
at the time the ordinance was consid
cred had declared that any man could
learn to do the inspection work and il
was unnecessary to have one who, had
had special course in electrical wir
ing.
1t was finally decided to refer it to
the committee on ordinances.

PRISONER BANGERT
STABS GUARD FISHER
Wounds Guard in Side With a Sharp
File-Wound Bad but Fisher
viii Recover.

While in eft" Henry Bangert, a
prisoner at the penitentiary yesterday
stabbed Chapel Guard William Fisher
in the side with sharp-pointed file.
The injured guard was taken to thr
Willamette Sanatorium where DR.. w.
II. Byrd dressed the wound and the
hospital authorities pronounce his con
dition much better today and say that
he will recover.
While Bangert is subject to spells Of
insanity and has been treated at the
insane asylum here for some time, it is
said that he is possessed of no small
amount of just plain meanness, and
that he is dangerous man to be even
in the prison unless watched very care.
fully. Superintendent Steiner, of the
asylum, declared yesterday that tho
prisoner is naturally mean and with a
touch Of insanity to add to his unsav.
oEy disposition, he is capable of doing
almost anything.
The stabbing occurred while Bangert
was being halted in his flight from the
chapel yesterday afternoon about 4
clock. He showed signs Of doing
harm while he was walking through the
chapel to his work Of cleaning brick on
the outside of the building, and Super
intendent Lawson ordered him to his
cell. Bangert ran out in the prison
yard instead and Chapel Guard Fisher
went after him. Just as the guard
placed his hands on the prisoner Ban.
CERT whirled and drove the sharp.point.
ed file deep into Mr. Fisher side, just
above the left hip. Superintendent
Lawson came to Guard Fishers as.
sistance and succeeded in wrenching
the weapon away from the prisoner and
taking him to his cell.
Although the prison authorities be.
lieve that Bangert is more subject to
downright meanness than insanity, it is
probable tho man will bo sent back to
the asylum.

THE DRY ELECTION TO
Be HELD IN DECEMBER
Councilmen Opposed to Saloons
Believed This the Fairest
Course.
CITY NEEDS THE REVENUE
And as Law Would Go Into Effect in
July It Would Be Unfair to
Those in Business.
CITY NEEDS THE REVENUE

The city council last evening decided
against holding special election June
II to vote on the proposition to abolish
saloons in Salem, and adopted a resolu-
ton to have the ordinance committee
amend the ordinance by providing that
the election be held at the regular elec,
tion time, the first Monday in Decem.
ber. The motion was made by Turner
Cummings opposed the amendment,
stating the people had petitioned for an
election in June, and should have il at
that time. He told of the growth of the
movement all over the United States.
Skaife said he would vote dry, but
he did not believe that it would be
honest and square to vote out saloons in
June, to take effect July l, after they
had paid licenses for the year, and be-
sides the city, already in bad shape,
would be saddled with $4,000 or $4,000 in
additional debt through the loss of rev.
enue. He had lived here so years, was
opposed to whiskey, and wanted it
abolished, but felt that it would be bet.
ter to put off the election.
Jones said the people had asked for
an election in June, and he was going
to give the people what they wanted
He did not see how the council could
kick on a loss of $4,000, when it had re.
Gently purchased $4,000 fire pumper,
which was not needed.
Brown said many people had signed
the petition without understanding that
IL might put Salem dry July l. He did
not like saloons, but believed it would
be unwise to confiscate their property.
Minton spoke in favor Of an election
in June. He asserted majority of the
people had signed the petition.
Hatch said he had talked with a good
many people who had signed the petit
ton, and had failed to find any one who
understood what it would mean. He did
not believe it would be right to put
the city $1,000 or $4,000 in the hole.
Turner said the credit Of the city was
very low, and warrants were being dis
counted per cent right now. If the
city was plunged deeper in debt they
would be discounted still further.
Macy said the petitions contained g.
100 names and 1900 names, while 1000
were registered as voters and thousands
were not registered.
The proposition carried 8 to 8. The
vote was as follows;
For election in December-Brown,
Hatch, Macy, siegmund, skaife, South.
wick, Stolz and Turner.
For election in June-Constable,
Cummings, Jones, Minton, Waring.
City Attorney Page made a statement
that without further action the vote
could be taken in December.
