Emma Sholly Again Wears Badge of City Cop-Woman Twice Fired When Pressure Bronnht to Bear, But "Pull" Returns Her to City Police Department On "Special Duty," Safety Board Clerk Finally Says.

Mrs. Emma Sholly. the woman who has been hired and "f.red" from the local police department twice since the Carson regime took the reins of the city government, broke back onto the city payroll June 10. according to information "primed" from Harry E. Josephson. clerk of the board of safety. Friday night. The reason for the safety board rehiring her could not be learned, neither could the motive behind her her "mysterious appointment" be ascertained. " All of the information that could be gleaned from Mr. Josephson was that she had been given back "her old job" on the department, and that at the present time she was assigned to "special duty." This "special duty" is said to consist of very little or no work at all, the "big item" of "work" was said to be her signing her n?fnie to the payroll every two weeks. It 13 further declared that Mrs. Sholly made the statement, shortly after she was ielieved of her "police job" for the second time early this year, that she was only laid off temporarily and that she would again HOWAT AND DORCHY! CONVICTED BY JURY Find Union Leaders Guilty of Misdemeanor File Motion For New Trial. By AFSorjateil Tress: COLUMBUS. Kas.. July 1 Alexander Howat and August Dorchy. president and vice president of the Kansas miners' union, were found guilty by a jury' Friday afternoon of violating criminal provisions of the Kansas industrial court law by calling a strike. The jury found Howat and Dorchy guilty of a misdemeanor. Both men were released on bond pending appeal. A motion for a new trial will be filed, attorneys for the convicted unon leaders said. Judge Frank W. Bo.sk will pass on the motion July 8. If it is denied he will then enter sentence. Although Howat has been convicted of several offenses in connection with the calling of strikes and his alleged defiance of the inductrial court, this was his first conviction by a jury. "It was the judge's instructions that did it." Howat declared soon after the verdict had been read. "I was guilty of a felony or guilty of nothing." said the miners' president. The court room was filled when the verdict was read. There was no demonstration. BURY WAR VETERAN WITH MILITARY RITES CHICAGO. July 1 Maj. Gen. Edward W.

The reason for Mrs. Sholly being able to "land" a position on the police department at any time she wants to it is asserted, is that she "has something on" three city officials, and that at any time she appears at the city hall with "revenge" written on her countenance the trio of officials proceed to make room for "her name on the city expense roster. Wat the "Sholly expose" of the certain city officials would include could not be learned, but it is said to be sufficient to make them "jump through" whenever she says the word. Mrs. Sholly wsi discharged from the department on two different occasions after the citizens of South Bend brought pressure to bear on the city officials. In these complaints against her, the citizens contend that she was not the proper person to represent the city as a policewoman. How long her "special duty assignment" will continue could not be learned from Mr. Josephson. but it was said she will again be dropped from the poyroll now that the information concerning her third appointment has reached th- public.
