14 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, JUXE 7, 1907. NUN POLICEMAN LOSE STAR Charges of Gross Immorality and Unbecoming Con duct Made. C. C. GLOSS IS SUSPENDED Annie Gordon Makes Sensational Ac cusations in Writing Against the Man With Whom She Says She Sustained Illegal Relations. C. C. Gloss, recently appointed a. patrol man In the, police department, was sus pended from duty by Chief Grltzmacher yesterday, pending trial on a charge of gross Immorality and conduct unbecom ing an officer. The entire department la humiliated and chagrined over the revolt ing accusations filed against the roan, and the Incident forcibly demonstrates that the civil service examinations and subse quent investigation of the records of eli gible do not guarantee the moral char acter of those who pass muster. Gloss is charged toy Annie Gordon with sustaining Immoral relations with her after his appointment on the force and after she had been ordered out of the city by Municipal Judge Cameron; also with brutally beating her in the exercise of his authority over her as his mistress, and 'with plying her with liquor and allowing her to fall into the hands of the police for drunkenness. In an Interview with Chief Grltzmacher Gloss denied every accusation made by 'the woman, but she produced a letter, written to her by Gloss, in which Gloss told her to return to Portland from As toria, where she was on April 19; that an election was coming and that a big "Rack" was being secured to elect a man who would "open up the town"; he would meet her when she reached Portland, and that "it would be all right." Miss Gordon declared In written charges filed yesterday that she did return to Portland In violation of the Police Court's orders, and that she met Gloss and lived with him at a local lodging-house until a few days ago. They had a quarrel one night last week, she declares, and the po liceman assaulted her and beat her with such violence, after locking the door, that she was forced to jump through the transom In desperation to escape from him. Letter she was arrested for drunkenness and at police headquarters begged for Gloss, saying that he would see that she was not locked up; that he would protect her. She was In contempt of court, how ever, for having returned to the city, and was held and takeu before Municipal Judge Cameron. She was released yes terday and will remain here to prosecute the suspended policeman. . This Is the latest of several revolt ing cases brought to light among new ' policemen who nave been passed by the Civil Service Commission during the pnst two years, notwithstanding the fact that when applicants take the examinations they must furnish flrst- , class references as to character. After passing all of the examinations and tests, the moral ' character of each eligible is investigated by the police department, but it is declared that the Investigation is far from thorough, as Is evidenced by the disclosures concern ing Gloss in this Instance, and several other cases similar in recent months. Chief of Police Qritamacher said last night that Gloss gave first-class references as to his moral character, and, furthermore, that police lnvestt- I jvatlon, after bis certification as an eligible, bore out those references for : the position of patrolman. Of the 16 1 names certified by the Civil Service Commission, investigation by special agents of Chief Grltzmacher .resulted in the rejection of but one man. After Gloss was accepted and ordered to report for duty, he was assigned to 'duty as a member of a squad of three plain-clothes men who have been doing special work looking after the morals of the city. Because of this fact the charges against Gloss are the more startling. BANKERS TO MEET HERE Convention of State Association to Be Held June 14-15. J. Tj.

START BUILDING THIS YEAR Power and Railway Company Com pleting Plans for Central Station. Work on the new depot of the Portland Railway, Llght & Power Company, which with its site is to cost $1,000,000, will prob ably begin late in the Summer. So many details are to be settled before work can actually commence that the company is not ready yet to announce plans in de tail, but It Is known that construction will be under way by Fall. All the buildings will be razed on the block bounded by First, Second, Pine and Ash streets and a water-tight basement Installed. The present tenants of the buildings occupy their quarters under leases that require them to yacate on 60 days' notice. Other improvements are progressing in the same district. A permit was issued yesterday to Jay Cooke to make altera tions in his four-story brick on Front street, between Ash and Ankeny. i The work will cost J10.000. The Noon Bag Company will also spend $1000 on its building on First street, between Couch and Burnslde. F. A. Kribs yesterday took out a per mit for the erection of a $17,000 residence.

It is annuonced that an effort may be made to defeat the adoption of the new charter which has been prepared for St. Johns, at the special election, at which It will be submitted to a vote.

Mr. Greene informed the Council that It had been chafed that there was a "Job" in the new charter, and that It was slated to be defeated.

I ' -S f ' A i I : , ; j K . V 1 I J . ff i V K AUTO ON CAR TRACK United Railways to .Operate Machine on Steel Rails. FIT CAR WHEELS ON TRUCK Purpose, Besides1 Hattling Material, Is to Hold Franchise, as Road Must Be in Operation by June 1 . An electric .automobile running on a railroad track is an unaccustomed sight that may be presented to Portlanders within a few days if an experiment now being planned is carried out. A big freight truck belonging to the Auto Dispatch Company Is being fitted with standard gauge electric car wheels and will be tried out on the newly-laid United Rail ways Front-street track. It is believed that the freight truck will operate suc cessfully on steel rails and It is likely this unique motor car will remain in service on the United Railways line un til the' trolleys are put up and the other overhead material Installed, permitting the use of electric locomotives and the regulation electric cars already ordered in the East. The placing of an automobile on trucks and running it on the United Railways' track in lieu of an electric car has an other purpose to serve besides that of hauling freight, for by the terms of the franchise, it is stipulated that the road 6hall be In operation not later than June 16. Without resorting to some makeshift this will be impossible because of the delay -in arrival of overhead material. This is not the fault of the company, and because of other unavoidable delays In delivery, it is supposed that the Council would grant such extensions in the terms of the franchise as may be necessary, but to make sure and comply with the words of the franchise, this temporary car will be run on the Front-street line. The rails are now laid the eirtire length of Front street covered by the United Railways franchise, so that the experi mental electric car can -operate all along the street. It is expected this heavy truck will be able to haul even bigger loads on the railway track than it was capable of doing about the streets. Wabash Makes Concession. A concession has been made in favor of traffic coming to Portland from St. Louis by the Wabash system. Hereafter in competition with the Burlington and Northern Pacific, the Wabash will carry less than carload merchandise daily to Council Bluffs, where it will be promptly transferred to through cars to the Unfbn Pacific at Omaha. Formerly the business moved locally to Council Bluffs and waB not handled so promptly as is now prom ised. Tourist Parties Coming. Two parties of tourists, under the di rection of the Raymond-Whiteomb tour ist agency, will reach Portland Sunday and will remain here until Tuesday, viewing the city and its surroundings. About 30 of the visitors will come from California in the Pullman "Fresno," and about 20 others come from Puget Sound. They will go to Seattle together, where the united party will be again divided, a part going to Alaska and others fo Yel lowstone Park. Make Annual Pilgrimage.

The season at the Park opens this Summer on June 10. BABY CRUSHED BY WAGON Mother Left Child In Cart on Side walk; Wind Shoved It Into Street. CHICAGO, June 6. Carried by a gust of wind that whirled her go-cart to the curbing at Wentworthi avenue and Twenty-ninth street last night, Madeline E. Johnson, 14 months old, was struck by a passing sprinkling wagon and almost Instantly killed. The child was thrown from its place in the tiny cart and dragged along the pave ment for some distance. Mrs. Minnie Johnson, the mother, was making a purchase in a bakery at the time and was Just leaving the place when the little cart was moved from its position and swiftly carried to the street. With a scream Mrs. Johnson ran after the moving vehicle, but she was too late, and an instant later the con veyance was toppled by the sprinkling wagon. Charles Strubln, the driver of the wagon, failed to see the rapid approach of the unattended go-cart and learned of the accident only when he heard Mrs. Johnson call to him to stop. Stru- DAINTY FOOD Turns Pale Cheek, to Pink. Our best physicians of the present day seek to cure patients by the use of food, rather than drugs, and this is the true method, for all physicians agree that only from food can the body be rebuilt. Many people fail to give their physicians credit, for after living on poorly selected or badly cooked food for a long time, perhaps, and when their ailments be come chronic, they expect the doctor, with some magic potency, to instantly rebuild them. This is not possible. The only true method is to turn as quickly as can be to proper food. A Cincinnati, O.. young lady says: "I was variously treated for my nerves, muscles, lungs, etc., but the treatment gave me no relief from my alls. "Finally, my appetite failed complete ly and I began to have sinking spells similar to fainting. I took all manner of tonics and stimulants, but they were of no effect. I had been brought to quit drinking coffee and taking Posrum Food Coffee in its place, and gradually began to get a little better. "Someone suggested that if I found Postum so beneficial I had better use Grape-Nuts food, as they were both the children of one brain. I commenced on Grape-Nuts food for breakfast, having Postum -with it. I found the food so dainty, delicious and appetizing that I always looked forward to breakfast with pleasure. "Shortly after commencing this diet, my wretched pain in the side was greMly relieved, and now It has gone entirely, also the sinking spells: in fact, my pale cheeks have changed to pink. I have gained back more than the 20 pounds I lost, and am thoroughly well in every way.- Read 'The Road to Wellvllle," in pkgs. "There's a Reason."
