HARMONY
HIS PLEA

Put under vigorous
cross-cxaminatiOn by Mayor
Fawcett at Thursday mora
ing's session OF the Drake
impeachment hearing, Elec-
trio Supt. Ii. w. Collins,
who resigned his position
the day before the hearing
started, admitted that he
had never been held in Conn
missioner brakes conf
dence.
IL was not afraid of losing my
job, but / wanted to maintain
harmony in the department, so |
did not tell everything l knew"
he testified.
Isn't it true that ] reported
several times to you about con-
ditions at the Nisqually power
plant, and about other rottenness
in the Department." demanded
Fawcett. ~,
Yes, you reported them to me.
The same reports were made to
Mr.. Drake. But he had the con-
fidence of Mr.. Holmes tformer
superintendent at La Grande)
and of other heads of depart
ments. Anyhow, it was none of
my affair"
didn't you tell me that
you did not dare to be seen
talking with me or with 9TH
err commissioners, because
Drake would cut off your
head II he knew you were
telling us anything?" asked
Fawcett.
II told you that it would not
be wise for me to be seen talk
ing with you, Mayor replied
Collins. Drake did not have
much confidence in me and l did
not want him to know that / was
going to you. | was not afraid
of my head.
"Wanted Harmony"
"All l wanted was harmony"
"Huh!" said Fawcett. when
things are running rotten, you
don't expect much harmony, any
way, do your"
Outside of his one admission
that Drake had been cognizant of
conditions in his department and
had taken no action to relieve
them, Collins continued Thurs
day to shoulder practically all re-
sponsibility for discrepancies and
Irregularities in the light depart
ment.

Admits Charges.
On cross-examination Thurs
day morning Collins admitted
that Commercial Agent Rhodes
was using a cityowned car for
private purposes. He also ad-
mitted that he had received sew
eral reports that Rhodes was
drinking to excess, but explained
that he did not have direct super
vision over the commercial agent
Collins admitted that he had
demonstrated with Drake on nu-
merous occasions over the large
number of men carried on the
light department payroll. Drake
told him, he testified, that these
men were given work because of
the hard times" and that it was
better to have the city pay them
a salary than to allow them to
become objects of charity.

van. representing Commissioner
