SCHOOL POST TAKEN FROM HJJSLER Five Other Buildings and Grounds Employes Are Dismissed. Dismissal of H. Frank Osier, schools buildings and grounds assistant superintendent, and five other employes of the department,* 4l in the interests

of economy,” was revealed today by school officials. In addition to Osier, those dismissed, effective today, include Julius Emhardt, office clerk; Andrew Wall, mechanical repairs department; G. T. Gurley, inspector of new outside work; A. L. Knox, shrubbery maintenance man, and

H. T. Kramer, shops storeroom employe. The dismissals were ordered by; A. H. Sielken, buildings and grounds superintendent, and will become effective formally with action at the next school board regular meeting, j Oct. 25. Osier first was employed by a j previous board in 1922 as chief engineer, holding that position until 1928, when he became assistant superintendent of buildings and grounds under Carl W. Eurton. Places Not to Be Refilled He became acting superintendent, succeeding Burton, Jan. 1, 1930, i when the present board assumed office, being appointed formally to the superintendency in September, 1931. He was demoted to assistant last August and Sielken named to succeed him. At the same time, Jesse McClure, former city recreation director, was named superintendent of janitors. Russell Willson, board president, said positions of none of those dismissed would be refilled. It is understood Sielken's action in ordering the dismissals has approval of at least a majority of the board. Cut Operating Expenses Sielken said he will take over most of the duties of those dismissed, adding that with heavy reduction in the department's budget in the last two years, there is less work to do. “With a heavy budget cut already made by the county tax adjustment board,” he said, “and prospects of further cuts through appeals to the state tax board, we are forced to cut operating expenses to the bone and operate with what money appears to be available. We will have to double up on the work.” Most of those dismissed had been in the board’s employe several, Emhardt had been employed since 1919. Knox had been employed at least five years and Kramer since 1930. Janitor Force “Shaken Up” Both Wall and Gurley had been employes previously, and had been laid off by the previous board, being returned to work in 1930 under Osier. Osier’s dismissal will not become effective for two weeks, although he started his “vacation” today. Dismissal of the other five men was \ effective Saturday. Shakeup in the janitorial forces of the schools has been in effect since McClure was appointed, several janitors having been dismissed on charges of inefficiency and insubordination, and a number of others transferred with further changes anticipated.

Editor Patterson Stirs Up Her Feud With Alice

Suggests Roosevelt ‘lsn’t So Crazy’ About Mistakes on Relationship. By t n'tril /Ve<l* WASHINGTON. Oct. 17—Mrs. Eleanor Patterson, editor of the Washington Herald, had added fuel to her feud with Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth by a front page edij torial in which she suggested that maybe Governor Franklin D. Roose- | velt “Isn’t crazy about” being “mistaken for Mrs. Longworth’s brother.” The socially prominent editor referred in her Sunday editorial to the “fascinating first installment” of Mrs. Longworths magazine published reminiscences in which Theodore Roosevelt’s daughter, according to Mrs. Patterson, "tells the world that Franklin D. Roosevelt is only her fourth cousin, once removed.” “It is evident,” said the newspaper editorial, “that Mrs. Longworth and her family are irritated by the possibility of a confusion between Governor Roosevelt and Junior T. R. “But what is the Governor’s reaction to this case of mistaken idenity? Maybe he feels flattered and complimented to be mistaken for Mrs. Longworths brother. Maybe, though, he isn’t crazy about it at all.” The difficulties between Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Longworth first came to public attention two years ago. It was the time Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick was running for the senate in Illinois. Mrs. Patterson, in an editorial, commenting on a report that Mrs. Longworth would campaign for Mrs. McCormick, said in conclusion “her assistance will, therefore, resolve itself, as usual, into posing for photographs.” STANDHOLDERS TO FIGHT MARKET RULES Protests on Proposed Ordinance to Be Heard by City Council. Opposition to the proposed ordinance recodifying regulations governing the city market will be voiced tonight by standholders at the city council session. The ordinance was introduced several weeks ago by the board of safety In an attempt to bring regulations up to date and eliminate obsolete provisions. Although approving the ordinance in general, the standholders have voiced opposition to change in the method of leasing space within the building. At present, space is assigned on a ’’early lease at a definite price with rent payable each six months. Under the proposed ordinance stands will be rented by sealed bids with the highest bidder receiving the right to each stand. Rent will be payable monthly.

1 DEAD. 23 HURT IN PRISON RIOT Outbreak Begins During Football Game. By l niled Prran MONTGOMERY, Ala., Oct. 17. One convict still was at large today after a prison outbreak that began during a prison football game at Speigner prison, and resulted in one convict being killed, and twen-ty-three others being wounded. The outbreak began at 3:45 p. m. Sunday. Prisoners taken to the prison yard for exercise, were playing when sixteen broke and tried to scale the fence. Guards started firing. Other convicts —about half the prison's population of 840, according to Warden A. B. Smith—tried to take advantage of the disorder. The guards subdued them. One of the original sixteen escaped across the prison farm. Carl Singleton of Marshall county was the convict killed. He was serving a one-to-two-year sentence for larceny and burglary. Warden Smith said the wounded were only slightly injured. The convict who escaped was Reuben of Montgomery. Ten of the fifteen men, who were returned to the prison after the attempted break, were tricked by the whose home was across the field from the prison, about twenty-five miles from here. When he heard the shooting, he picked up a scrub brush in his kitchen and ran toward the scene. Smith flourished the brush in his coat pocket as if it were a pistol, and herded the ten uninjured men back toward the prisbn gatbi '” sir The other five escaped, but were caught within a few moments with the help of bloodhounds. batteFsafe: get ;5300 Yeggs Hammer Open Vault in Paul H.

THOMAS LIKELY TO GET LARGE PROTEST VOTE ( Desire of New Generation to Build New Party Also Reflected. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Tress SUIT Correspondent iCopjrrisht, 1332. by United Press) NEW YORK. Oct. 17.—The pros- j pect of a large vote for Norman . Thomas, the Socialist candidate for President, is reported in some states in the United Press national political survey. This is regarded in part as a protest against the two old parties, in part as a general expression of dissatisfaction with the economic situation, and in part the desire of a new, generation to build anew major party. Many Thomas supporters, regard the Republican and Democratic parties as t,wo wings of the same economic school. They believe anew political vehicle is necessary to espouse policies which now find little place in the Republican party of Herbert Hoover, Calvin Coolidge, Charles G. Dawes and Ogden Mills, or in the Democratic party of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Albert C. Ritchie, Gvcen D. Young and John W. Davis. Some Protesters Are Silent How widespread this feeling is j will not be known until election. Some “protest voters” are cxcepj tionally voluble in advertising their | attitude, but others for various reasons outwardly are silent. Some reports in the United Press . political survey showed sentiment | for Norman Thomas in unexpectj ed places. One source reported that in New : York state “an Oneida county | farmer said a lot of farmers, both j Republican and Democratic, were going to vote for Thomas.” A similar report came from another western New York locality. Seme of those at national Democratic headquarters here fear that in close states the Thomas-“protest vote” seriously may endanger Roosevelt. Industrial Centers Asked One upstate source reports: “Several liberals—not Socialists—have said that they would like to vote for Thomas as a protest, but won’t as they fear a large protest vote of this kind would allow Hoover to win.” In Massachusetts, some industrial workers are talking Thomas, due to the fact that because of the earlier Roosevelt-Smith coolness, they refused to support the Democratic candidate. This may be changed to some extent by Smith’s forthcoming speaking trip into New England. “In industrial centers, such as Lawrence, there is, I am. informed, so much of dissatisfaction with Roosevelt that many Democrats are said to look favorably on the candidacy of Norman Thomas,” one report stated. Large Vote Is Predicted “On the other hand many of these mill workers are IrishCatholics, and it is not regarded likely that they actually will vote for Thomas election day. But Thomas probably will get a fairly decent vote in Massachusetts, anyway.” Some political experts estimate that on the basis of the Literary Digest poll, Thomas may receive between 2,000,000 and votes. He drew 267,420 votes in 1928 and William Z. Foster, of the Workers’ party, received 48,770. Foster is a candidate again this year, but the Literary Digest poll shows him to be receiving a negligible vote. Tennessee and Vermont lead the states in production of marble.

Oct. i7._ A na- , tion-widc campaign for funds to provide fpr the needy during the coming winter was inaugurated by President ■ Herbert Hoover Sundav night. The President appealed to the 1 “great heart of the American people” to support the recently organized welfare and relief mobilization body's drive for funds in every state in the country. The appeal urged that each community care for its own destitute through the medium of the relief body, working through the national organization of community chests. “I take profound pride in the fact that my countrymen have acc-pted the responsibility, each in his own community, to meet the need,'’ the President said. “That is the only way to meet it effectively—in the neighborhood itself, where the need Is known.”
