ATKINS KEEPS
WATCHFULEYE
ON CITY HALL

Commissioner Atkins today
caught the light department try
ing to evade the charter.
He remarked to the council
that two eonsignments of electric
wire had been bought on the same
day from the same firm for
$4,000 each. The charter saws
that all purchases over $500
must be made by contract, and
this method of splitting the bill
has been done to evade the char
ter.
Its Just another way of get
ting around the charter" said
Mayor Fawcett.
= I'VE had to do IL in order to
get a rush job" said Supt. Col
Inns OF the light department.
and the matter was droppes.
after a significant warming had
been given the commissioners nv
Mayor Fawcett that the charter
was written with a purpose and
that they had better remember it..

BUTCHER HAS
LIVELY Time
WITH POLICE

GRANTS PASS, Ore, june II.
William Redzom, a butcher
who was evidently insane, ran
amuck through the streets OF
Grants Pass today and after fight
ing a duel with Chief of Police
Lewis on a crowded street was
captured by officials. Redzom
secured a revolver and ammuni-
tion and then with this one held
up a second store for another re-
volver and more ammunition. He
raced up the street with the Off
GERS in pursuit and after ex.
changing shots with Lewis threw
his guns in the grass and sur
rendered.

announced today that there were
~ more signatures than were ne
eessary for the recall. There were
30 new signatures submitted to-
day by the recallers, but Attorney
Gilbert Peterson. representing
Comii sioner Mills. submitted I2s
Withdrawals, making the recall
an almost certain failure against
Mills, as we'll as Woods.
The recall law, coupled with
Mills tactics in fighting the re-
call, are blamed by Secretary
Durant of the recall COMMITTEES
for the loss of the recall.
The recall law was written By
persons who wanted Ioop-hoIes
to get around in future elections"
said Durant. ut is as full OF
holes as a piece of Swiss cheese.
and attorneys find IL an easy mat
ter to block the recall by any
number of technicalities.
I'VE thought that we could get
plenty of signatures on the sup
Elementary petitions. hut we
found that Mills friends har
thrown a scare into the citizens
TO the extent that they were
afraid TO sign the recall I'm fear
that they would be refused favors
or jobs by Mills or his friends
later on"

sEsAE5 U YES

The recall against Commission
err Owen Woods will not 20 to an
election. Unofficial figures today
resulting from the city registra-
ton clerks check of recall petI-
tons showed that the documents
lacked 20 signatures.
Commissioner A. u. Mills re-
call still hangs In the balance,
with Mills friends empbaticaIIy
prociaiming his victory over the
recaliers, and the recall commit
tee hold out feeble hope of GUST
ing him from office by means of
the recall law.
IL Mills escapes recall, IL will be
because of his INSCRIPTIONS meth
DDS in fighting the recall commit
tee, and the fact that his workers
have tntimidated citizens to the
extent that they have refused to
sign supplementary petitions.
City Clerk Nickeus today ad-
mitted 80 supplementary sigma
lures and 1875 Withdrawals on the
recall petitions. He announced
that he would attempt to finish
up the check tonight, working all
night IL necessary, and would Of
ficially transfer the recall petit
tions from the registrations office
to the city clerk tomorrow morn
ing. The petitions will then be
officially canvassed and counted.
Out of f55 questioned sigma
lures decided on by Clerk Nickeus
on the Woods petition SO were tle-
cIared- valid leaving 4AQ vaIfsl
signatures on the petitions. Using
the 1912 election as n basis Of the
recall, and the fact that 20 per
cent of the voters must sign the
recall, the recall petitions would
require 4 ,527 signatures.

YOU CAN HAVE YOUR STAR
BILL IF YOU CALL FOR IT

william Dobson Is a most un-
fortunate man.
On Saturday midnight he re-
ported to the police that he had
been held up by a bold, bad high
wayman on the 18th street
bridge. And he said that the bold,
bad man stole his police badge
but failed TO take anything else.
Dobson Is special Waterman for
the Pacific Glass A. Paint com.
pany.
Today, 1t develops that Dobson
was not held up.
He was relieved of his star by
some irate citizen. who modestly
withholds his name, after he had
aroused the ire of aforesaid efsi-
zen. This citizen writes to the
Times that he is not a hoIdup mar
but that he is frank TO say that
he has Dobson's badge in his pos.
session and will give IL up to the
proper authorities.

thirty years as a senator he left the
office poorer than when he entered it..
He had no income outside of his sail
airy. The home he formerly owned
in Springfield was sold some years
ago to help pay his expenses, and
lately when visiting the Illinois capt.
tai he resided at a hotel or at the
home of his son-in-law.
When the United States took over
the Hawaiian Islands, Senator Cullom
was a member of the commission ap-
pointed to prepare a system of gov
eminent. He was also prominently
identified with railroad legislation,
both in the Illinois legislature and in
the National Congress. He was made
chairman of the committee which
travelled through the country to study
the interstate commerce problems, be-
fore the establishment of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, and
aided realty in the establishment of
the commission of which he was a
member. He drafted the original In
terstate Commerce Act.
