DR.. Riordan's Salary
Held Up by Court
Injunction Issued on Ground
That He Is Not Competent
To Be Medical Examiner

The Civil Service Reform Association
took action yesterday against Mayor

dan, former coroner, as chief medical
examiner at $500 year. Russell II.
Loines. of the association, obtained u
temporary injunction from Justice
Nathan BLUR restraining Controller
Craig and City Chamberlain Johnson
from paying Ricrdan's salary. on the
ground that he was not skilled pa
biologist, as required by law.
Justice BLUR granted the injunction,
which is returnable before Justice
Finch on Tuesday, on atfidavits sub
mitted by Mr.. Loines, DR.. Howard {.
Taylor, president of The New York
County Medical Society, and DR.. Fred
S. Mandelbaum. of Mount Sinai Hospl-
tai. The two physicians made affidavit
that the amount of training in pa
thology which Dr.. Riordan testified to
having received, in his examination
before Commits sioner of Accounts Wall
stein in 1914, was not sufficient to
qualify him as an expert in that branch
of medical science.
DR.. Riordan is holding office under
q ifteen-day appointment by Mayor
Hylan. Meanwhile the Municipal Civil
Service Commission is taking steps to
have the Office taken from the CLASH

Lahti went to Wisconsin,. where she
found work in a dairy, where her ex-
perlencc stood her in good stead. She
had not come to the United States to
be dairymaid-even trousered
rymaid-however. Her thrift en-
abled her to save the price Of railroad
fare to New York and nearly 500 be-
sides, and she set out.
Found Attire Convenient
BY this time any carly doubts that
she had entertained concerning the
trousers had vanished. When she got
to New York she intended to take to
skirts again for good and all and be a
woman again, but she found that the
trousers had charm and conven-
fence which she had not fully appreci-
ated. Likewise it dawncd upon her
that EMBARRASSING questions might be
asked of a young man who went about
buying women's garments.
She was still in this dilemma when
detectives arrested her and hailed ne,'
to court on the charge Of impcrsonat-
ing man.
