1G THE MOKNTNG OREGONIAN, SATUiUJA, UUTUIS15JK 1U, 103 ROBERTS IS GUILTY Police Committee Suspends Him for Three Months, BUT CLEARS CHIEF HUNT It Reports That Accnjted Policeman JDIsobeycd Chiers Oriew-ExecH-tlve Board Adopts Report Without Debate. Three months' suspension from the po lice force is the punishment Inflicted by the police committeo upon Special Of ficer Jack Roberts, charged with collect ing money from illicit sources. At the meeting "of the Executive Board yesterday the police committee, composed of General C. F. Beebe and Big Slchcl, presented the report upon the investiga tion, which closed two weeks ngo. Tho report was read by City Auditor Devlin, as follows: "To the Mayor and the Executive Board of the City of Portland: . "Gentlemen: Your committeo on police, having in charge the investigation of the charges against Special Ofllcer John R. Roberts, beg leave to report that the committee has thoroughly examined into such charges and found that Special Of ficer Roberts was shown to have dis obeyed orders of the Chief of Police, and we recommend that he be suspended for a period of three months. "CHARLES F. BEEBE. "SIG SICHEL." Silence' reigned when the report was concluded. No one wanted to say any thing first, for all wanted to see' what others thought of the decision. Mayor "Williams broke the ice. "If there are no objections tho report will be adopted," he said, and not an ob jection could be beard. The report of the police committee has been long delayed through the time re quired to transcribe tho stenographic notes of the two sessions, one of three hours' length, which tho investigation consumed. This work was completed this week and the members of the police com mittee met with Mayor "Williams and pri vately decided upon the decision. Though the decision does not entirely back up the charges, it shows conclu sively that they were not without founda tion, and that the evidence revealed at the investigation could not be sidetracked by the police committee. Roberts has had a North End beat as special ofllcer, and the charge made was to the efTcct that he had regularly collected money from fallen women and saloonkeepers for unlawful privileges.

The tarantula had bitten the index finger savagely.
