RESIGNS PLACE AS
HEAD Of UMAT|lLA
COUNTY POOR FARM

Joseph B. McDill, for the past fif-
teen years superintendent of the
Umatilla county poor farm and hos
pital. today rendered his resignation
TO the eaunty court to take effect on
March 1s Hts resignation was writ
ten and In !. Mr.. MeDil! statss that
his personai business now requires
so much of his time that he feels he
should reiinquish the office
No successor has as yet been nam
ed by the court and the members have
been too busy with other matters to
discuss an appointment yet. McDfl
has held the office during the admin
istrations of many courts and. while
his regime has not always been peace
full. II has been unbroken since he
began. Grand juries have come and
gone and each one has investigated
the poor farm with widely divergent
reports. Some roundly scored the
management, while others as rouni-
ly praised 1t and the public was new
er sure.
The announcement of his resigna :
IN comes as surprise to many peo-
pie as no intimation had been pre-
viously given.

NEW YORK. Feb. Guy Biddin-
ger. now assistant general manager
of the Burns Detective Agency. and

Mitchell for second deputy police COM
missioner and chief of the detective

police force by Mayor Harrison after
civil service examinationI On his
fourth day in uniform he arrested
dangerous negro hold-up men. He
was made detective at once. Later
he took three dangerous bank sneaks
and for that was made a detective
sergeant. Eight years ago he was
made civil service detective sergeant
and in that position had many excit-
ing experiences In Chicago.
Four years ago he went to the
Burns agency.
He had more to do with the McNa-
mara case than to run down the Nc
namaras, for he II was who supplied
the strongest evidence against Clar-
cnce s. Darrow. the labor lawyer. who
was tried for bribery.
Another famous case was that OF
the seven members of the West vir-
ginia legislature who were trapped In
bribery in the contest which resulted
in the election OF Judge Goff to the
United States senate. He worked
with Burns in the trapping OF five al
dermen Of Atlantic City who accept
ed bribes.

ing eight men available during the

HEMBERS0F WATER BOARD TO HOLD Places
City Attorney Carter Gives Opinion Holding That Matter Of Interest to
Certain Persons Who Should Bear Expense Of Investigation
ity Of Actions Of Commissioners is Jnquesioned, He AYERS

Acting upon the advice of City At
torney Charles A. Carter. the city
council last evening refused to act
upon the petition presented a week
ago by Judge S. A. Lowell asking for
an investigation OF the eligibility OF
Marion Jack. Will Moore and DR.. J..
A. Best as members Of the water COM
mission and for the institution OF quo
wartanto proceedings against them.
The city attorneys opinion in effect
Is that the matter Is of interest to
certain persons as individuals and
that these persons should bear the
expense II they wish to satisfy their
curiosity or interest. The validity Of
the actions OF the commissioners, re-
gardless Of whether or not they are
qualified to act, Is unquestioned. in
his judgment
Judge Lowell submitted another
communication last evening explain.
ing his reasons for asking that the
district attorney rather than the city
attorney commence proceedings. The
law requires 1t. he said. Also. he
stated HIS belief that It was incum-
bent upon the council to take the ini.
tiative In the matter.
The communication was referred
tc the city attorney. Reporting up
on the petition, the city attorney re-
ported as follows:
To the Mayor and Common Council
OF the City of Pendleton:

ton from Honorable Stephen A. Low

exists, possess the qualifications pre-
scribed by Section 4 of Article X OF
the charter of the city of Pendleton.
and as to whether three of the MEM
bers of that commission are eligible
to act as commissioners, l desire to
report:
That fail to see why 1t Is incuni. T.
bent upon the common council Of the
city of Pendleton or the mayor there
of to initiate proceedings against

nmmission who have been regularly
elected or regularly appointed. have
taken the proper oath of office and
are acting as such commissioners: the
acts of such commissioners at their
board meetings consider. as circum-
stances now exist, valid and binding.
There has been much discussion oral
ly and through the newspapers. as TO
whether certain members OF the COM
mission possessed all of the qualifica
tions which the charter requires but
l think the question is one more OF
personal interest to certain persons az
individuals than of public interest to
the city and its inhabitants and the
public at large. and to require eth

control to investigate the matters
