Editor Statesman:
Will you kindly do me the justice of
correcting an erroneous statement in
your Sunday edition in regard to my
being an applicant for sergeant of po-
lice.
l have not been an APPLICANT for any
position in the police department I'M
der the present administration.
Unsolicited, the chief position in the
plain clothes department was offered
to me by Chief Robinson and on Fri
day night 1 refused to accept.
l was called by the phone at my
home on Saturday morning and asked
to reconsider my answer of the night
before and I again refused.
Mayor Hodges requested me to come
to his office at o'clock on Saturday
afternoon and offered me the position,
but l refused once again, as it would
interfere with my business as a pri-
vate investigator for other clients.
Very truly yours,

good many remedies for eczema, both
liquid and salve, but they did me no

Quoted before Probate Judge De Haven

pected to camp for a week and shoot
elk for their teeth.
