The head of the civil service commission will be questioned by the Hennepin county grand Jury Tuesday in the investigation into complaints that employment of bridge watchmen by the city is a waste of public funds.

The jurors want to know what procedure will be necessary under civil service to dismiss Peter J. Pryts, former Socialist alderman of the Eleventh ward, from his job as watchman on the Lake street and Franklin avenue bridges. On the other hand, Mr. Pryts stands ready to tell the civil service commission, the grand jury and the city at large what an Important job the position of bridge watchman really is and what a "foolish mis take the city would make by attempting to get along without the watchmen." Pryts Describes His Duties. When he learned of the develop ments in the investigation he wasted no words Monday night outlining the duties incident to watching bridges.

His is a job that cans not only for watching the bridges but for mani curing the structures, sweeping, doing minor repairs and "talking peo ple out of the idea of ending their lives" once in a while. His hours, he said, are from 7 a. m. until evening and sometimes he's around the bridges until 8 p. m.

"In the winter there's more work to be done," he said, "I shovel snow from the bridges and keep them clean." The city has employed bridge watchmen since the horse and bugy days. Originally it was the duty of the watchman to prevent drivers from urging their horses across the bridges at faster than a walk, In compliance with a city ordinance. When tne horses were replaced by motor vehicles the bridge watchmen still kept their posts. A few years ago some taxpayers complained and several of the watchmen were dis charged. At present former Alderman Pryts and Chris Johnson, who is watchman on the Tenth avenue bridge, are all that remain.

Injured in City's Service. N. W. Elsberg, city engineer, told the grand jury Monday that Mr, Johnson was Injured in the city's service several years ago, and in stead of paying him compensation the city offered him the job of, bridge watchman. The city engineer said he felt the city should retain Mr, John son.

Mr. Pryts was appointed as watchman In 1927, after being defeated for re-election to the city council. At first he received $100 a month. Dan C. Brown, city comptroller, told the Jurors that the pay of bridge watchman recently had been cut to $95 a month.

Mr, Elsberg said the city probably could get along without a watchman at the Lake street and Franklin avenue bridges. He said, however, that Mr. Pryts has seniority rights under civil service, and that the city engineer could not discharge him without preferring charges with the civil service commission. Mayor Anderson, another witness before the grand jury, was asked what steps were necessary to bring about the removal of Mr. Pryts.

The mayor is said to have suggested that the jury question the civil service commissioners. TRAFFIC VICTIMS Death Record in Minneapolis 1930 Total Killed 94 1931 Total Killed 89 1931 To This Date. ...56 1932 To This 38 THE DEAD. G. ARTHUR WRIGHT, 21, of 923 Twenty-second avenue southeast.

Colored Flyers Settle Sprint Supremacy of World. Run First and Second in 100-Meters in 10.3 Seconds. By Grantland Rice, CoDjriiht. 193, by Inc. Los Angeles, Aug.

1. The one picture that will remain fixed in memory long after these Olympic games are over is the flash of two streaks of black lightning thrown against a cloudless summer sky. Two black bolts from the azure of a California day. This was the picture of Eddie Tolan of Michigan and Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette, two Negro flyers from the midwest, who settled beyond all doubt the sprinting supremacy of the world In one of the closest fin ishes ever known. It was ebony shot from the starting gun that told the story of the greatest 100-meter run the Olympic chart has ever shown.

And you can go all the way back to the first Greek that ever set his feet upon a running track. They gave the race to Eddie Tolan but Metcalfe was so close that only a gnat's eye lash could have shown the differ ence as both tied the world's record at 10.3 seconds and broke the old Olympic mark with three-tenths of a second to spare. Pick of Sprinting World. But to get the complete picture or this human sweep of the double cyclone to the tape, one must go back to the two semi-final heats. In each case there was a desperate, heart-breaking struggle to survive with the world's greatest runners battling for the last six places.

In the first heat Tolan of the United States, Joubert of South Africa and Yoshioka the little brown whirl wind of Japan, were so closely bunched that more than half the crowd at the finish line gave the verdict to the Japanese schoolboy as his spinning feet flashed along the open path. Tolan, Joubert and Toshloka were in a straight line, shoulder to shoul der, as the tape gave way. but even this great race lacked the thrill of the second and hardest They were away together and as they passed the 60-meter mark, Afetcalfe of the U. 8., Simpson of the U. 8..

Action of the board of equalization Monday followed a conference of Mayor Anderson with George Wallace of the Minnesota state tax commission in which, according to the mayor, Mr. Wallace declared he would move to have the state commission put the amounts on the tax rolls as "omitted" property. The letter to the mayor explains that the city charter provides the board of equalization with full power to raise property valuations where they are found to be too low, and to place property on the tax list where It Has been omitted. The mayor was told that the board is desirous of taking action on any Information showing that taxable property has been omitted from the rolls.

Johnstown. Aug. 1. The specter of pestilence and disease moved Monday night through the camp of the bonus expeditionary force on the outskirts of Johnstown. Medical investigators said after a tour of the billets that conditions are "bad very bad and dangerous" to the health of the campers.

More than 7,000 men, women and children are encamped and others are arriving hourly. Signs of dissatisfaction and impatience reared themselves Monday. Complaints were to Matthew Burke, finance officer, and R. B. Ellison, national contact officer, that some of the men have not had any food for two days.

Leaders of the B.E.F. received In silence a telegram from General Smedley Butler admonishing them to arrange for the veterans to return to their home states. While the situation at the camp grew more serious with every pass ing hour, police in Johnstown clashed with alleged Communists. The clash came after a crowd of several thousand Jammed downtown streets when word spread that reds would attempt to hold a meeting in aenance of police orders.

1. Nearly 1,200 member of the Gopher Campfire club Monday night sat around the glowing embers of a campfire' to discuss conservation problems in an out-of-doors setting at the twenty-second annual summer outing of the organization at Belle lake. The need of immediate strict conservation measures to insure protection for the state's wild life was told the sportsmen at the meeting. Speakers included Dr. C.

M. Aldous of the United States biological survey, and W. I. Stewart, head of the state game and fish department. Telling of the progress being made at the Thief I.ake water fowl sanc tuary, Mr.

Stewart declared that at present there are nearly 200.000 ducks In that area. He reiterated that he will strive tn keep the area closed to any shooting this fall. Birds there are so tame, he said, that boats ran pans within 10 feet of them without any trouble. Dr. Aldous urged strict conservation measures to protect Minnesota's few remaining woodland caribou last of their kind in the United States, if they are to be saved from extinction.

Coprrttht, 193 br Associated Pre. Berlin, Aug. 1. Chancellor Frans von Papen told the Associated Press Monday he would not attempt government by coalition in Germany but would present his ministry to tne new reicnstag late this month and defy the members to oust it. In an exclusive Interview, the chancellor made it plain he intends to continue ruling Germany without party support.

His cabinet was formed at the direction of President von HIndenburg June 1 and immediately afterward the relchstag was dissolv ed In order that he might not have to stand a test of confidence. "If Sunday's election had any significance," Lieutenant Colonel von Papen said, "it was the Indorsement by the German people of tho government's efforts to rid the coun try of party control. Dares Reichstag. 'All we ask for is toleration In our endeavor to bring Germany out of her trouble. My colleagues and I intend to go before the relchstag with our program of constructive effort and dare the members to unseat us in the face of crying need for objective non-partisan work." He denied that he had any intention of outlawing the Communist party, which showed a surge of new strength in Sunday's voting, and on the subject of Adolf Hitler he said the time had come for Hitler's Nazi movement to lend a hand in the reconstruction of the fatherland.

The chancellor expressed hope that the Centrist party, of which he was a member before he headed the cabinet and which has been fighting him bitterly, would not take upon itself the odium of provoking a new cabinet crisis. He also cieared up what he meant by hinting in his election eve broadcast at possible revision of the con stltution. "The present relchstag, composed as it of only one chamber, does not have the checks and balances for instance, your American congress has in the senate. Our relchstag, or federal council, la not comparable to your senate. Its powers are far smaller.

I believe Germany needs an upper chamber. "Another thing that should be corrected is our so-called list system, by which each party names a list of candidates from which, for each 60 000 votes cast, one member is declared elected. Personal Responsibility. "There is no personal contact, or practically none, between the candidate and the voter. The voter hasn't even a hand In nominating him.

This usually is done by a small executive committee of the party. "In England and America a candidate Tn us stand in his district and gain the confidence of the voters electing him. In Germany the voter decides upon the party he wishes to support, but has no contact with the candidate. I am hoping to see the electoral ssytem so revised that ths personal responsibility of the relchstag member is again established. "Had such a system obtained Sun day I should have stood in my West-phalian home district, where every body knows me, and should havsi announced myself a candidate on th Centrist ticket.

I am sure I would have been elected." The chancellor remarked that political leaders of every camp had been talking administrative reforms, but nobody had acted. "Within some days after I became federal commissioner for Prussia merged 68 administrative districts with larger ones and simplified administration by eliminating 60 county governors," he said, "Along the same lines we Intend to bring about additional administrative and financial reforms, all of which cry for so-lutlon both In the reicb and in Prussia." Form of State Not Issue, When the chancellor's attention was called to the fact that some American newspapers were Interpreting Sunday's election to mean that 60 per cent of the new relchstag was anti-Republican referrinr to the Nazi, Nationalist and Communist members he observed: "The question of the form of the state does not enter into the discussion at all. That never was an Issue in this election. The whole German nation is anxious to set its house in order and we have no time to think of the form of the state." The chancellor denied that the German government was pursuing a policy under which Germany would live to itself, refusing to co-operate with other nations. "Such efforts as we are making have been forced upon us by the world situation and are not of our volition." he said.

"We will go as far as any nation In letting down customs barriers and facilitating th Interchange of goods. 'Livs and let live' Is our motto." At the close of the interview tha chancellor was reminded that the Leftist press was criticizing the government for denouncing Communist outrages, but saying nothing when Nazis overstepped the bounds. He replied: "Whoever should be proven responsible for incidents like the regrettable) Koenigsberg events will find us determined to deal swiftly and sum marlly with them."
