Claims Contractors Whom He Caused to Be Arrested Have Xo Ground tor Complaint. Over the arrest of several contract ors, on complaint of Building Inspector Ppencer, there has arisen a loud protest. They allege they have been unjustly dealt with; that they have been humiliated In the eyes of the public and their opera tions Interfered with on unjust grounds. Replying to these charges. Inspector Spencer declares that every one of those who are crying out against him are vio lators of the law and that those who avoided the payment of fines when ar raigned In the Municipal Court yesterday morning escaped only through his leni ency. Building Inspector Spencer declares every charge made by the defendants untrue with the single exception that tha axe right when they aay they can not secure permits at his office in the morning. He says it Is true he has no one to help him. and that the building industry of the city Is impeded and con tractors greatly annoyed and Inconveni enced because of an Insufficient clerical force In his office. Inspector Spencer caused 'the issuance of seven "John Doe'' warrants out of the Municipal Court recently, charging contractors with neglecting to take out permits for buildings. The police brought In five of the defendants, two of whom were fined by Judge Cameron. Three were not fined, as they showed they had permits and that they were not breaking the law. One of these discharged defendants was Carl Wallauer. who was building a house at Union avenue and Klickitat street. He had a permit that was Issued by Deputy City Auditor Pierce, October 8, of which there was no record In the office of the Building Inspector. In his case. It was admitted, a mistake had been made, but Inspector Spencer claims he was violating the law anyway because, it is said, he started the Job before tak ing out a permit. The same. Inspector Spencer says. Is true of two others, Gus Erlckson and J. O. Trembley. Building contractors and others who have business with the Inspector's office declare they are put to great Inconveni ence to secure permits for buildings. They claim they have to go to the office repeatedly before they can secure permits; that there Is nobody present in the morning to issue permits, and that the building trade Is being crippled there .by. Inspector Spencer says he is doing the best he can under existing conditions. "I have no deputy to leave In the office when I am out," said Inspector Spencer, and I certainly cannot make tours of in spection and also be in the office all the time. I have been very lenient with con tractors In the past, and more so than I Intend to be in the future. I have given them much leeway, heretofore, but hence forth I 'shall issue complaints against all who do not- take out permits before be ginning work on Jobs, and I will also arrest those who fail to keep their per mits posted where they can be seen, as the law requires." The City Council recently passed an ordinance giving Building Inspector Spen cer an assistant, but Mayor Lane vetoed the measure", hence the lack of help in the Inspector's oce.

Mourns Loss of His Last Bottle Gun Schall Resents Well-Meant Ef forts of Salvation Army to Reform Him. GUS SCHALL went to a Salvation Army meeting last evening, but It was not his fault. He was so drunk he didn't know where he was going, and one place looked as good as another to him. Gus was quiet for a time, but the whisky be gan to talk before he had been in the barracks long, and he was the center of attraction. He was sought out by one of the workers, who tried to get him to reform. After some little persuasion Gus thought he would tike to do so. The desire to reform became so strong within his breast that Gus permitted a bottle of whisky to be removed from his coat pocket. It was thrown into a stove, the bottle broke and the liquor was lost. When Gus realized that his last bottle of whisky had been wasted he forgot all about reform, flew into a rage and left the barracks. He hurried to police head quarters, where he poured out his tale to Captain Slover. "I want to have those Salvation Army people arrested for stealing my whisky," said Gus. -"All right." replied Captain Blover. "I'll lock you up tonight, and If you still want to have them arrested when morning comes you can do so." Jailer Endlcott then led Gus to a cell, where he was left to sleep off his jag.
