W- Inskeep, of City Force, As signed to Aid Kavanaugh Gen eral Ke-Arrangement of De tective Assignments. ' Through the rearrangement of details for the staff of plainclothes officers at tached to the Portland Police Depart ment, it became known yesterday that City Attorney Kavanaugh Intends to be Kin at once the enforcement of the anti trust ordinance, recently enacted by the Council. Acting Detective J. W. Inskeep. who has been doing regular duty in the secret servk-e branch, was transferred to the new and very important assignment of gathering evidence for use by the municipality against violators of the Beldlng law. Chief of Police Gritzmacher stated yes terday that he had made the transfer ol Inskeep and the consequent changes ol the other members of the plain-clothes staff, because of the necessity of detail ing lidotectlve to the office of the City Attorney, who is preparing to proceed against some of the combines, which are FHid to abound in Portland. The ex clusive duty of the officer will be to work under the direction of Mr. Kavanaugh and his assistants, gathering necessary evidence to he used against trust offi cials, who evidently are facing trouble. This Is the lirst move made looking toward the enforcement of the Beldlng anti-trust ordinance, which was recently passed by the City Council. Chief Gritzmacher, in assigning Acting Detective Inskeep to the new position, ordered the other changes made In the details of members of the staff. Ser geant Baty remains a "free lance. and is in command of the staff during the absence of his immediate superior officer. Sergeant Jones and his working part ner. Acting Detective TIchenor. are as signed to day hours, and general detec tive duty; Acting Detective Price will have C. R. Hellyer as ,a partner, both being assigned to general work on the day shift. Acting Detective Smith is to have special charge of pawnshops. Act ing Detectives Kay and Klenten remain in Chinatown, but are given night hours, whereas they have been on duty days. P. Maloney and Tom Coleman are de tailed for general detective work on the night shift. Those who are working as acting de tectives are holding the rank of patrol men, and do not benefit by the Increase In pay recommended by a Council com mittee yesterday, but they expect to re ceive appointments as detectives when the former members of the staff, now fltfhtlng charges of Incompetency made by Mayor Lane, are discharged. This is expected to occur upon the conclusion of the trials before the police committee of the Executive Board, and it is thought In police circles that an immediate re organization of the secret service branch will be made. , ascertained that the rental paid amounted to an annual rate of 6000 per cent on the value of the furniture. On this showing it was concluded1 that the ctty would do much better to buy the furniture out right and store it in the city barn or some other convenient place between elections. the completion of the road, which the Company guarantees will be ready for operation not later than December 1, 1909. CITY WILL BUY FURNITURE Council to Save Money by Purchas ing Klet tlon Paraphernalia. Warned by the experience gained at the municipal primaries and election last Spring, the Council is preparing to buy furniture for use In future elections and thereby avoid the payment of rental charges in the future. The ways and means committee yesterday Instructed Auditor Barbur to ascertain what furni ture Is needed and the cost and also enter into an agreement whereby Multnomah County will meet a share of the ex pense and use the furniture In county elections. In the past the city has always rented election furniture as occasion required and In this way has paid, out many times Its value. When these bills were received after the last election they wereheld up for several months by the Council but were finally paid, although most of them were considered exorbitant.

This Is the . question which has 6een asked over and .over in the minds of the deputy clerks at the Courthouse for the last week, whenever they had time to stop and think about matters foreign to their- work. The problem was a deep, one, for whenever he was approached upon the subject, Mr. Fields always laughed, ar.d said he was feeling as well as ever. But the clerks knew better, and yesterday the whole story came out. When the facts were known they did not wonder that their superi or officer was crestfallen. One Friday, a few weeks ago, when hardly one prospective bride srroom had leaned his elbows on the clerk's desk under the triple wed ding bell, and witnessed the deputy clerk make out the license whloh would permit him to realize the supreme moment of his life, Mr. Fields began to scheme how to get more license fees into the treasury. At last he hit upon the very thing, an advertising scheme, and offered to issue a license free to any couple who would be married in public at the Oresham Grange and County Fair. He furthermore offered to kiss the bride. In a short time the County Clerk received a picture postal from Grcsham conveying to him the comforting, news that his offer would doubtless be accepted in a short time, but that the bride to be kissed would be of a dusky shade.
