MAYOR OLES WEARY
 OF REFORMING JOB
YoungstoUn's Chief Would Qull
 if He Could Gracefully

Youngstown, Ohio. Jan. ls.-Mayor George l., Oles, Youngstown's unique reformer, has become disgusted with his job. At least he has so expressed himself to close friends and has sald that he would resign if he could do SO gracefully.
 Proprietor of a chain of produce markets, MT Oles rode to the mayors chair on platform calling for spoon ing liberty In the public parks, lower street car fares. lower taxes and lot of other reforms. After few weeks of office. Mayor Oles finds run ming a municipality is entirely diner ent from conducting produce busi- ness. In handling his big markets Mayor Oles Is the supreme dictator, but In running the affairs of the city he finds himself handicapped by red tape which he cannot cut
 No Pledges Fulfilled.
 So far he has failed to make ef- fective a single prediction pledge, In his campaign he declared that he would "clean up" the police depart ment and intimated that he intended to dismiss Chief Watkins. He has done neither. His proposal to reduce the personnel of police, fire and other city departments Is meeting with viz. orous opposition from the city council, businessmen, civic organizations and prominent citizens.
 How far Mayor Oles has ridden tho city of bootleggers, gamblers and un- desirable residents Is moot question. The average citizen can see no dimin- ution in the whiskey traffic. the op- portunity to gamble or the betterng of moral conditions. However, busi- ness at the various markets operated by Mayor Oles has made big gains. Most all city employees are reported to be patronizing them.
 Mayor Oles yesterday informed the Emergency Relief Association that he intended to give his salary as mayor, amounting to $500 month, to the poor. During his campaign he said he would not accept pay until the city was out of debt. He now finds, he says, that he must accept the com pensation under the law.

KNIGHTS TO ELECT
 ON JANUARY 31ST
Grand Knight G. NJ. Coholan Retires Because of Stress of Business
 Duties.

At a meeting of Daly Council. ;So. 12, K. of C., held last evening in the club rooms on Franklin Square, the resignations of Crank Knight Gerald M, Coholan and Trustee P. F. King were received and accepted. MT. Co., nolan has been appointed representa- tive of the Stanley Works on the road and as he will be out of the city for a greater port of his time, he found 1t necessary to resign as head of the council.
 Mr. King resigned as trustee be- cause of the fact that he is also member of the board of directors, and as such, he would be auditing the same bills which he voted should be spent.
 A summons meeting will be held two weeks from last night at which an election will take place. There will be two offices open, that of the grand knight and trustee. The cam- paign for grand knight promises to be a closely contested affair because of the number of candidates who are expected to try for the office. There have been several names mentioned, but up until last night, there has been no active campaigning. The names of Stephen Lynch and John Curtin were mentioned as possible candidates but both have stated that they will not run. Deputy Grand Knight Jeremiah Coffey has an nounced himself as candidate for the office and his chances of election seem very good. He has been a hard worker for the council ever since he was put in office, and he has many friends who would like to see him as grand knight
