FALSE REPORT

For some weeks past all incoming

as far as San Francisco if is report
ed that the Ely district is booming
and that labor of all kinds is Il

stated although the Record has
been unable to verify this report.
that an item was published in one
of tn San Francisco papers to the
effect that 5000 men were wanted
in the Ely district
The spreading Of these reports is
very much to be regretted. The
Nevada Consolidated is not putting
on any more men and it is not likely
that any moro will be put on for
several weeks. Many of the men
who came here have spent almost
their last dollar to pay their fare
and when they arrive they are
broke, and finding it impossible TO
get a job they are a burden on the
community.

DEMAND COURT END
LAHEY'S POLICE PAY
As Commissioner, Is No Longer
on Force, Citizens Union
Contends.

A decision Of the Appellate Division
Of the Supreme Court handed down on
March and ruling that Commissioner
Richard Enright as head of the Police
Department cannot pay himself a pen
sion as retired lieutenant because he
ceased to be a policeman when he be-
came Commissioner. is relied on by the
Citizens Union, which, with William J..
Schieffelin, Its president, as complainant.
began an action in the Supreme Court
yesterday demanding that Chief Inspec-
tor William j. Lahey be adjudged to
have endad his connection with the Po-
lice Department, and be enjoined from
accepting pay that goes with his job.
The action names Comptroller Craig
and members of the Civil Service Com
mission as codefendants, and asks that
they be enjoined from certifying Inepec-
tor Lahey's name on any payroll. The
Citizens Union in statement said
1.-THE action is brought because 1t is
vital that the law governing the police
force shall be strictly followed and be-
cause of the belief that law and order
in this city will be promoted il some one
better qualified Is clothed with Mr..
Lahey's great power as Chief Inspector
Of the force"
Allegations of the complaint follow
closely the decision of the Appellate Di-
vision holding that Commissioner En-
right ceased to be policeman when
he became a commissioner. and insist
that when Lahey was appointed a
deputy commissioner In 1918 he ceased
to be a policeman. The complaint de-
clares also that when Lahey resigned
his deputy commissionership in 1920,
and Commissioner Enright made him
Chief Inspector, the appointment was in
violation of the City Charter and mu-
nicipal civil service law.
