Aberdeen Rejects
Detective Bureau
Bitter Municipal Campaign Results in
Defeat of Mayor's Pet
Project
ABERDEEN, & D.. Aug. 4.-(Speclal.)
Aftr th most blttr municipal campaign
In years, th voter of Aberdeen, at a spe
cial lotlon yesterday rejected the ordi
nance fathered by Mayor Rock, creating
a city detective bureau, by a vote of 1,0,1
against the ordlnanc to 102 for th ordi
nance. Dr. H. J. Rock, democrat, waa
elected mayor over A. N. Aldrlch, re
publican, at the olty election last May by
a majority of close to 800 cut of a total
vote of 1,400. Th chief ot police under
Mayor Aldrlch was Charles B. Zlrbes.
Zlrbes became quit unpopular and shortly
before election resigned and Ostensibly
left the city. He was an Issue In the
campaign, however, the opponents of Mayor
Aldrlch claiming that if Aldrlch was re
elected be would reappoint Zlrbea
Shortly after Dr. Rock was elected, Zlrbes
returned and was appointed to a placa
on the police force as a "plain clothes"
man. It was found th mayor did not pos
sess th power under th city ordinances
to mak snch a position permanent, and
th friend of the mayor and of Zlrbes
on th council then passed an ordlnanc
creating a city - deteotive bureau. Mayor
Rock thereupon appointed Zlrbes chief of
deteotive with th same salary as that
reoelved by th chief of police. A refer
endum petition was presented, asking the
mayor and council to present the new or
dinance to a referendum election.
Mayor Rock threw th petition out on a
technicality. Th council later took th
matter up, accepted th petition and called
a special election, which was held yester
day, resulting in th defeat of th ordi
nance. During the campaign numerous
affidavits relating to Zlrbes' alleged short
comings as an officer, and counter affi
davits reflecting upon the moral character
of the men signing the anti-Zlrbes ordi
nances were printed In th local paper.
