Mayor Fawcett was not present
at the social service board meet
ing yesterday. He said today
that he attended a funeral, but
probably would not have been
present had he been able.
REV. McGinnis controls the
board" declared Fawcett today.
He urges his board members to
take up unimportant matters,
rather than investigate vice con-
ditions, because he knows the
police do not want him to. For
instance, he has the board devot-
ing its time to planning checker
playing resorts In the saloon
buildings after the state goes
dry, when he might accomplish
something by investigating d

The mayor declared Rev. A. J..
Sutton, another members, who
has refused to tolerate Rev. Nc
Ginnis' actions, will resign.
THE only way to get anywhere
Ia to let the board die natural
death, then create a real board
not composed of figureheads con-
trolled by the police said the
mayor.
The board yesterday afternoon
studiously avoided any reference
to the Tacoma vice crusade. or
the expose of conditions on d

bookkeeper for the entire fiscal trans
actions, both income and outgo, has
figured out the financial situation and
has come to the conclusion as result
of his figures that there will be de-
ficit of approximately 100000 at the
end of the calendar year. Discussing
the situation, Mr.. Thompson says:
"As the monthly expenses of the
state government are about $1S0,000,
the deficit in the treasury on Jan. l.
1916, will be in the neighborhood Of
100000, which will be in the form ol
outstanding warrants. The cash bal
ance at the beginning of this montf
was about $4,000.
''The amount for the pro rata, o.
general pensioner is s120 less than il
1914. This is due to the fact tina
many widows are being added to th'
Ipension rolls annually, and also tha
county pension boards are continual

OBJECT TO SWITCHING

A special committee consisting oil
ID. e. McInnis, r. G. Hauenstein and
DIR. G. C. Hightower was appointed to
take UP with the officials of the New
Orleans & Northeastern Railroad
Company the question of switching
its cars at some point other than on
the Main street yard. Prof. Woodley
said that because of the large number
of trains crossing the street at that
point, parents of children living in
one part of the city declined to permit
their children to attend school in an
other part, if the Main street crossing
fintervened. He said that he knew
that certain amount of switching
was necessary there, but asked the
committee to request the company tt
do as much of the work of transfer
ring it's cars at some other point al
possible.

of the yards, and that it is only whel
absolutely necessary that the street a
