AS QUITE UNCALLED FOR
Belief Grows at City Hall That

j., Charging that someone has been
trying TO get his scalp" and to dis.
credit HIS official record, Mayor Lane
made firm denial To the Star-Bulletin
today to the inference that he has
tampered with department employees.
That opinion from Deputy City At
torney Lymer filed with the board at
the request Of the supervisors" said
the mayor, "and which states that
have no authority to appoint depart
ment employees is altogether uncalled
for There isn't a member of the
board who does not thoroughly under
stand the law regarding city employees
and their appointment, and there was
no occasion for the opinion.
Since taking Office named the
heads OF the various city departments
and the supervisors confirmed all Of
these" he continued, "and there are
no more appointments to make. / did
not and shall not attempt TO appoint
any department employe"
II was alleged that Mayor Lane re-
moved a member OF the instruction
staff at the city school carpenter shop
and appointed another instructor in
the removed mans place. Mayor Lane
denies this Incidentally. when the.
mayor said this morning that he had
no more appointments to make, the be-
lief was expressed that he does not In
tend to name successor to former
Building Inspector Murasky, who was

F.4 IS Being .
MOlEDUP AND
SHOREWARD NOW
With Only Three Lines Boat
Was Raised approximately
#. III Feet Yesterday " :.

The sunken submarine F-4 is well
on the way to salvage. Yesterday aft
ernoon, with only three lines around
her, the bow was raised about q feet
and the stern about Is feet, and the
boat was towed shoreward until she
GROUNDED again. 1t is estimated that
she lay in approximately II feet less
water at the conclusion of the opera
tion, and what Is, still more important,
the hosting power of the pontoons and
machinery has been tested out, and
the vessel so righted that it win be a
comparatively easy matter to sweep
another stern line under her today.
Attempts to get the fourth line Sc.
cure yesterday we're unsuccessful, ow-
ing to the position Of the boat on the
bottom, and it was finally decided to
start lifting with three lines only.
Everything held, and as the cable
came into the drums it was apparent
that success was at last crowning the
disappointing labors of the last month.
However, the ofncers are determined
to proceed cautiously, for fear OF an
other set back, and when enough lift
had been given to provide a thorough
working test, shoreward tow was or
dered. .--E .....
At IL O'Clock this morning the Ma
vajo was ordered out, and another at
tempt will be made to get the fourth
line under the stern, by sweeping from
the bow aft. With luck this should
be accomplished this afternoon, and
another lift given, with all four lines
fast In the event of the first sweep
failing to hold, it is possible that an
other lift will be made with only three
lines. 3. -.~.s.-.-
When the raise was made yesterday,
the fourth line, that was supposed to
be foul of the propeller, dropped away
clear. The reason for making the
sweeps from bow to stern, instead of
attempting to raise the stern and get
line under aft, is that the chain in
serts on the two bow lines have prob
ably bitten into the plates so as to be
absolutely secure as longsas a strain
is maintained. If they we're Stacked
off to hoist the stern, it might result
in losing good hold. ........~
While those in charge of the work
are making no predictions, there
seems to be general feeling of res
tored confidence. 1t Is hoped that a
gain of 40 feet a day can be made in
depth, and with each fathom gained
the work will become correspondingly
easier. No diving is being done to-
day. .z...- ~.
