It appears that Walsh received zero in arithmetic and that former Com- missioner Mershon had admitted to him he had changed the figures which made ‘Walsh eligible. District Attorney Byington was present during the investigation and as he had to leave on important business the matter was postponed until next Friday. In the meantime the committee on clvil service, which is composed of Samuel Polack, Henry Trevor and J. S. Webster, is maky ing a searching examination of the com- mission affairs. /It is stated that the Grand Jury will make a thorough inves- tigation and if it is possible will bring in an indictment against Mershon for vio- lating his oath of office. The Grand Jury also took.up the af- fairs of the Universal Automobile Com- pany.~ Witnesses were examined, but no action was taken. Harold McLoon, H. C. Biggs and R. B.

Dracher, on Wednes- day afternoon and the police are now searching for the men. Both ladies were able to give an accurate description of them. One of the men entered the bakery and bought a dozen eggs from Mrs. Deering, tendering a $10° bill in payment. About twenty minutes later, while Mrs. Dracher | was in the bakery, another man entered | 204 asked if she could give him a $10 bill | in exchange for silver as he wished to| irclose it in a letter to his mother. Mrs. Dracher gave him the note and he placed a lot of silver on the counter. She| counted it and found there was 20 cents short. The man pretended to put the bill in the letter, which he handed to Mrs. Dracher, and, picking up the silver, said he would return in a minute with the full $19. He did not return and on opening | the letter Mrs. Dracher found some cigar coupons, but no $19 bill.
