lO THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1907. i mm DEMAND A TRIAL In fact conditions were found to be much better than was supposed. Business men have used every possible means to get rid of the rats from the standpoint of economy and since the plague outbreak in San Francisco are more than ever determined to rid this city of a possible means of Introducing the disease. PUTS ON REFRIGERATORS Want' a Showdown in Their Harriman Lines Will Take Over Ar HnntrnVPrSV With fiantnin mour's Coast Business. Of POllCe Brilin. C- M- Se-it. general manager of the jr-acinc f ruit Express Company, with headquarters at Chicago, is In the city for the purpose of establishing a , local service of this department of the Harri man system in Portland. The Harriman Interests have succeeded to the refrigera tor car business heretofore conducted on the Pacific Coast by the Armour carline, which expects to withdraw from this field about October 1. The Pacific Fruit Express Company Is a new department for the Harriman lines, and under it Is directed the movement of all refrigerator cars. There Is a large and growing demand for refrigerator cars on the Pacific Coast for the movement of fruit and other products requiring storage accommodations. The transfer of the business at Port- BREACH NOT TO BE HEALED Moral Squad Detectives Accused of Insubordination Eager to Tell All They Know About Su perior Officer. Written charges of insubordination, pre ferred two months ago against Acting Detectives Kay and Kienlen by Captain of Detectives Patrick Bruin, are still un tried and the open breach between the head of the secret service department and his two subordinates Is still unhealed. Chief of Police Grltzmacher has never given the matter serious attention, and Chairman Greene, of the police commit tee of the Executive Board, has not yet called up the cases before the Police Commission. In the meantime the feud between Cap tain Bruin and Acting Detectives Kay and Kienlen has widened in scope until it has permeated the entire Police De partment, and two distinct factions have been formed as a result. That this con dition of affairs prevails is acknowledged In official circles, and it is also admitted that both branches of the service are greatly impaired as a result. The two factions, at police headquar ters are known as the Gritzmacher and the Bruin factions, and all members of the patrol and detective branches are ar rayed on one side or the other. Acting Detectives Kay and Kienlen, .who are now on their vacations, have long formed what is known as the moral squad. Their work has to do with the regulation of saloons, lodging-houses and gambling, in cluding Chinatown, and all matters per taining to the morals of the city. Kay Kefuses to Report. For many months they worked under direct command of Captain Bruin, but tome time ago Kay, the leader of the squad, broke with his captain, refusing to act under his orders longer. Instead, he reported directly to Chief Grltzmacher, and declured openly that he would never report anything of importance to Captain Bruin, asserting that the latter had often foiled plans for raids and interfered with reform work for various reasons. Matters continued in this shape for many weeks. At last Captain Bruin tiled written charges of insubordina tion against Kay and Kienlen, accus lngthem of failure to report to their superior officer, himself. A copy of these charges was filed with Chief Gritzmacher, who made light of them, and never gave them serious attention. Captain Bruin, however, being aware that Kay was "solid" with the Chief, took the precaution to file a carbon copy with Chairman Greene, of the po lice committee. It is therefore thought likely that some time the charges will be heard. After Captain Bruin filed the charges Kay gave out an interview, in which he declared that he tried to report to Captain Bruin several times, but that for a period of about four weeks prior to the last city election he and Kien len were unable to locate Bruin. Kay declared that the captain was out working In the interests of Thomas C. Devlin, the Republican candidate for Mayor. , Anxious for a Hearing. Kay now says that he and Kienlen are anxious to go on trial, as Kay de clares he will "make Bruin elck" if ever placed on the witness stand. Kay asserts that he knows many ' things detrimental to Captain Bruin, and says he is more than willing to tell all his reasons for refusing to report to Bruin. Chief Grltzmacher, never friendly to Captain Bruin has grown more dis tant with the progress of the captain's trouble with Kay, and though some times countermanding Bruin'a orders, has steadfastly upheld Kay in his moral reform work, and now declares that Kay is an exceptional officer the most successful and efficient in his special lien of work that he has ever known. Kay has made more sensational raids and more arrests involving prom inent persons and establishments than any five members of the force com bined since he has been doing re form work. He has become the target for criticism, has been "ham mered" by lawyers and has taken much abuse, the chief says, with great patience, and through it all has proved himself absolutely honest, fearless and capable. Case May Come Up Soon. Kay and Kienlen will return to duty next week, and it is believed that at the next meeting of the police com mittee the charges against them will be brought up and heard. Whenever this is done, it is asserted in police circles, a battle will be waged by Captain Bruin, who is to inflict se vere punishment upon Kay and Kien len, who openly decjare their contempt for the captain. It has sometimes been said that Captain Bruin and Mayor Lane are at outs, but this seems uncertain. At any rate, it is said that the outcome of the Kay and Kienlen cases will re veal the true status of the matter. CONDITIONS ARE NOT BAD Wholesale Houses Have War on Rats Well In Hand. Every effort Is being made to keep Portland free from the bubonic plague. One of the measures In the campaign against the scourKe was inaugurated yes terday when C. W. Hudson, president of the Commercial Club, appointed a com mittee to visit the owners of business houses on the river side of Front street and ascertain what is being done to ex terminate the rats which infest the build ings adjacent to the wharves. Tom Richardson of the Commercial Club and W. B. Glafke, members of the committee yesterday afternoon called upon the various business men on Front street to acquaint them with the pro jected campaign to rid the waterfront of the germ-carrying rodents, and to ascer tain what measures will be adopted to secure that end. Mr. Richardson and Mr. Glafke reported that they found the business men on Front street more than willing to co operate in the extermination of the pests. In almost every store the visitors found that a vigorous war has been waged against rats for many weeks. Rat traps and cats are in use everywhere. In many places no rats had been seen for weeks. TAKE UP THE TRACK Rails on Killingsworth Avenue . Must Be Removed. FRANCHISE NOT GRANTED Council Decides Company Must Make Application In Regular Way Sub-Contractors Want Bridge Warrants Stopped. By a resolution adopted by the Execu tive Board yesterday afternoon- notice was served on the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company either to remove its single track on Killingsworth avenue, committee express themselves as favor able to the purchase of a tower, and while the matter has been postponed from time to time, say that they are now ready to .act. "We shall probably take up, at our next meeting, the resolution from the Execu tive Board asking for money to buy a water tower," said Councilman Vaughn, of the ways and means committee. "It was our Intention to act in the matter when we met last Monday, but considera tion of a location for the proposed gar bage crematory occupied nearly all of our time. When we had concluded our consideration of that subject several of the members had to go, and we did not want to vote the appropriation without a full committee. "I fully recognize the need of a water tower in Portland, and shall vote In favor of purchasing 'one. I believe that the other members of the committee are of the same opinion, and there is no doubt that the expenditure will be au thorized at the next session and then taken up by the Council." Chief Campbell has been asking for a water tower for a long time, several costly fires could have been avoided, he thinks, If the department had possessed a tower several years ago. He is anxious to have the appropriation made immedi ately, so that bids may be called for as soon as possible. "Every large city has a water tower as a part of the equipment of its fire department," declared Chief Campbell PRICK LIST OF SCHOOL, BOOKS FOR THE STATE OF OREGON The following official list of books adopted by the State Text-Book Commission for use In the public schools of OTegon for the oix years ending June, 1913, with exchange and retail prices, Is printed in view of the fact that the public schools open Monday: COMMON SCHOOL IilST.

TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 13. (Special.) No trace can' be found in Tacoma of C. S. Wagley and Mrs. Bond, who disap peared from Forest Grove. Efforts to secure Information as to their identity have been without results, ... from Union to Grand, or apply for a fran chise to lay a double track. An investi gation by the City Attorney developed the fact that the company is on the street without a franchise or permit, and the Board will require it to secure a franchise In the regular way. Killingsworth avenue is soon to be im proved with hard-surface pavement, and before this is done property-owners want the present single track taken up. It is only a spur line half a mile long, for the switching of cars, and no service for the public is maintained on it. Fourteen days is given the company to remove the track or apply for a franchise. Want Bridge Warrants Stopped. t J. B. Tlllotson and Joseph Paquet, sub contractors on the Grand-avenue bridge across Sullivan's Gulch, petitioned the Board to withhold payment for that structure until they should receive pay ment of claims amounting to $2544.20 from the International Construction Company, of Seattle, the head contractors. It was found that the bridge warrants had all been Issued and that the sub-contractors will have to go to the Seattle company for their payment. The street-cleaning department was au thorized to purchase 15 horses and the fire department to purchase one horse. It was reported that the streetcar company has agreed to replace one of the Are de partment horses that was recently killed by a shock from the rails. Bids for Street Work.

In response to the requests that are coming in from all sides for the addition of . a water tower to the equipment of the local Fire Department, the ways and means committee of the Council will prob ably make the necessary appropriation at its next meeting. Members of the last ntErhr hefnre laairlnir enw v. i Portland Is behind in this matter, and me negieci to tjuy a tower sooner has probably been expensive. With the many tall new buildings, however, we need the tower more than ever. "While in the East I shall study the r.in.iB 01 water lowers In service and de termlne which r mtiaMo. t- . land. I hope that the Council will au thorize the appropriation at its next meeting, so that bids can be called for vwLuuuL aeiay. BUILDINGS ARE DEFECTIVE Building Inspector Lists Some That Are Dangerous. " That several old buildings in Portland are in such condition tfiat they are of danger to Inmates and in some cases to assersby was the report received by the Executive Board yesterday from Building Inspector Spencer. The communication was referred to the Council and the own ers will be required to make necessary repairs or the buildings will be torn down. Following Is a list of the buildings found by Mr. Spencer to be In some way defec tive: Four-story brick. 264 YamhiH street; three-story brick, 185 Second street; two story brick, 69 Third street North; Klncald building, northeast corner Ninth and Everett streets, and the rear wall of Fritz Theater on Burnslde street. The Building Inspector also recommend ed that a new ordinance be drawn up pro viding for more substantial bulkheads along the waterfront. A resolution was passed some time ago, requiring . bulk heads to be placed on the docks, but the order will not be enforced until the new ordinanca has been enacted. NEW ORDINANCE'S PROVISIONS Proposed Building Law Divides Structures Into Three Classes. Builders, architects and contractors are greatly interested in the new building or dinance that has been prepared by Building Inspector Spencer, and there Is certain to be a lengthy discussion of its provisions when it comes up before the special building committee of the Coun cil at a meeting next Wednesday .after noon. The bill covers more- than 150 type-written pages and its consideration Is one .of the biggest tasks that the Council has been confronted with for a long time. The most Interesting portion of the new law is that applying to the height limit ations. Buildings that may be erected within the fire limits, under the proposed law are comprised in three divisions, known as class A, class B and class C. Class A buildings are those of steel and reinforced concrete. Steel structures may go to a height of 200 feet, while those of concrete will be limited to 150 feet. Class B buildings are brick with wood posts, girders and floors. All woodwork, how ever, must be protected by metal lath and plaster. These structures may go to six stories, but not to exceed a height of SO feet. Class C comprises those not protected by the metal lath and are limited to four stories. Aside from these divisions, special pro vision is made for mill constructed ware houses. These warehouses may be erected alx stories in height, or seven stories if i OF THE HOUR, discussed with earnestness in hundreds of homes, and dealing with the future material welfare of thousands of young people, pertains to school matters. What course shall be taken? What will be best in the end? LET US REASON TOGETHER We may be able to help you solve the important question under consideration.

While this ordinance is more liberal than the present law, under which all structures other than those of steel and reinforced concrete are limited to four stories, it is more stringent than the building laws in other cities." said Mr. Spencer. "The regulations in New York, Chicago, San Francisco. Cleveland and any number of cities that might be named, are less severe than those that have been incorporated in this measure. "This ordinance will thoroughly protect the Interests of the city but it will not keep capital from investment here. All cities In the United States recognize mill con structed warehouses as desirable im provements and if Portland should leave the limit at four, stories, as at present, big wholesale firms, desiring to establish branches, might seek other locations. Several firms are now planning to erecf these large warehouses and will be ready to build soon after this ordinance is passed." BONAPARTE NOT TO RETIRE Wall-Street Rumor Caused by Dec laration Against, Trusts. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Sept. 13. There appears to be no foundation for the rumor that Attorney Genera! Bonaparte is to re tire from the- Cabinet, by invitation of the President or otherwise. Ever since the Attorney General referred flip pantly to certain law-breaking corpor ations, and expressed views somewhat more audacious than the public has come to expect from cabinet officers, the report has been circulated that Mr. Bonaparte would soon retire to pri vate life. Perhaps under some admin istrations Mr. Bonaparte might have been requested to tender his resigna tion because tf the offense he gave to corporate Interests, but this is not an administration when officials are sac rificed at the behest of Wall Street and its allies. True, other grounds were given as tho possible reason for expecting the retirement of Mr. Bonaparte. It was said that the President was Reeking the advice of other cabinet officers on points of law, and was taking their advice rather than that of the attor ney general, all of which may be true, but why should not the President have the benefit of the legal advice of such men as Secretaries Root and Taft? There is no abler lawyer in the coun try than Elihu Root, when it comes to questions of international law. In which he is intimately acquainted, or questions of corporation law. in which he was particularly schooled. And where Mr. Root advises from one standpoint of the lawyer, his colleague, Mr. Taft. advises from the standpoint of a jurist. Admittedly Mr. Taft Is big enough to fill the office of Chief Jus tice of the Supreme Court, and the legal opinion of such a man Is cer tainly of sufficient weight to be con- siaerea ty the President. If a President decided all questions or law on the sole advice of his At torney General: all questions of Inter national relations on the sole advice of nis secretary or atate, and all ques tions oi nnance on the recommenda tion of his Secretary of the Treasurv there would be no. need of cabinet meetings. Yet from time Immemorial it has been the custom of Presidents to call their cabinets together twice each week for the express purpose of Jointly discussing the larger affairs of Government. And it is not surprising that any President should have in his cabinet a number of good lawyers. Without discussing the relative legal ability of Messrs. Bonaparte, Root and Taft, it is ample to say that the President-has done what any "President would have done In consulting the best lawyers in his official family on all large questions Involving a construe tion of the law as it guides the Gov Persons wiii never know what a delicious breakfast food is until they have eaten 1 PBICS5 WHEAT FLAKE CELERY the ideal food for all classes, the result of years of investigation. For safe by all Grocers crnment. The President would have been remiss In his duty had he done otherwise. The rule that two heads are better than one applies with equal force to the Cabinet and to the outside world, and in following that rule the Presi dent gave no offense to his Attorney General. These consultations with Mr. Root and Mr. Taft were not of a nature to belittle or humiliate the Attorney General. Mr. Bonaparte recently announced that he had no intention of resigning and declared that he had heard no ru mor which would lead him to believe his resignation would be acceptable to the President. Under the circumstances the retirement rumor may safely be shelved. Plan to Settle Fishers' Strike. HOQUIAM. Wash., Sept. 13. (Special.)
