Many Portland people take more than a passing interest In the acquittal by a jury in San Francisco Wednesday of J. A. Morrell, of the National Airship Company, who was charged with issuing a false prospectus in connection with his project. Several months ago Morrell was located In this city, where he had offices and by means of extensive advertising succeeded in selling considerable stock in his com pany, which agreed to establish an actual airship service between Portland and San Francisco as soon as -the necessary funds were subscribed to provide the equipment for such a service. So far as is known the Investors in this stock are patiently waiting for the promoter to "make good" on his extravagant promises. ROOF GARDEN. A-top Norton! Hotel, music ' R. F. Love's Home Burned. A disastrous nre occurred at the resi dence of R. F. Love on the Powell Val ley road at Kelly Butte on Friday, which consumed his 6-room residence and fur niture. There were seven or eight per sons in the house at the time the Are started and the family had just finished tea. when Mrs. Gindy. who was visiting there, chanced to open the door leading to the stairway. The sight that met her eyes caused her to fall in a faint. The whole tipper nat was a mass of names. In attempting to get the piano to a place of safety Walter Gibbons was badly burned on the left arm and Is laid up. The others escaped but without even their hats. The family was left destitute and would certainly have suffered had it not been for the big-hearted business men of Lents who came to their rescue with money and goods. The loss Is $3000, partly covered by $750 insurance in tne farmer a Mutual. Murderer's Estate Appraised.

FAIL TO , NAME CAPTAIN Board Declares Police Committee Is Trying to Evade Law and It Will Submit Xames of Those Eligible. Thomas G. Greene and R. L. Sabin, of the Executive Board's police committee. were the subject yesterday afternoon of perhaps the most severe adverse com ment ever uttered by the members of the Municipal Civil Service Commission, P. L. Willis, W. L. Brewster and J. W. Blaln. The cause of the caustic utter ances was the alleged attempt of the police officials named to dodge the rules of the civil service in relation to the vacancy that exists in the position of Captain in the department. The charge was openly made that Greene and Sabin are evading the law. After lengthy discussion of the matter. the Commissioners instructed Secretary Mcintosh to mail to Committeemen Greene and Sabin a list, of the certified ellgibles for the vacancy In the rank of Captain, giving three names. These are Patrolmen Fred Mallett, Harry Circle and Harry Riley. The police officials, who have charge" of the matter, have' been standing on a technicality for two months. alleging the Civil Service Commission Is negligent, n that the names of the three eliglbles have not been certified. That there Is an eligible list has been officially communicated. There the matter has rested, and tho opposing parties have stood on their official dignity. Meantime, C. H Baty has been in charge as Captain of Detectives. The Civil Service Commission took up the matter, at its regular meeting yester day afternoon, all members being present. Secretary Mcintosh read the report or the police committee made last Friday to the Executive Board and adopted, in which it was stated that, although the committee had requested the list of eligl bles for the position that is vacant, and although the request for the same has not been withdrawn, the names have not been received. This put the blame for the delay onto the Civil Service Commis sion, and was resented by the Commis sioners and Secretary Mcintosh. "It looks as though they are trying to dodge the question and lay the blame upon this Commission," said Chairman Willis. "How are we to know that they want to utilize the ellgibles and to fill the vacancy? They do not so state in their communication; they simply have taken a round-about way to lay the blame for the vacancy on us. If they want to fill the vacancy, let them come out and say so; let them, in the regular manner, apply In writing for certification. If they do not want the vacancy filled, it is their business; they run the police force, and we cannot make them select a Captain. Commissioner Brewster, while admitting that the communication from the police committee of the Executive Board "is In definite and uncertain," expressed the be lief that it would be the wisest course for Secretary Mcintosh to send a cer tified list of ellgibles, by name, so as to leave the responsibility clearly with Messrs. Greene and Sabin. "I think," said Mr. Brewster, "that, while they do not directly state so in their letter, the members of the police committee mean that they want the names of the ellgibles. We might Instruct the secretary to send that list, and also to suggest that in future letters they make themselves a little more clear. After reading very carefully the letter, Commissioner Blaln said: "It doesn't read much like a request; it is more like a harangue." Further discussion convinced the mem bers that the police committee really In tended to make a request for the names of the eliglbles, although the Commis sioners said they were scarcely able to make out, from the letter, just what is Intended, and Secretary Mcintosh was in structed to mail the list. He did so at once. Mr. Mcintosh remarked that it will now be interesting to note how promptly the ponce committee will act, upon re celpt of the names. Examination for Stenographers. The Municipal Civil Service Commission in session yesterday afternoon, ordered a special examination for stenographers in the office of the City Attorney. There are two positions, paying $50 and $85 each. The $85 position is desirable, but it Is said the work is so technical that It Is very difficult to fulfill It The $50 position is too undesirable. It is said, to be able to secure a civil service employe therefor. It is probable the City Council will al low an extra employe for the office, as it Is urgently needed, the work being heavy. Frazer Charged With Deception. The charge was made against G. N. Frazer, during the session of the Munici pal Civil Service Commission, yesterday afternoon, that he misrepresented tne number of years' experience he had as a machinist, in a recent competitive exam ination. Mr. Fraaer, according to Secre tary Mcintosh, said he had had 16 years experience, whereas it was found he had little more than five. He will not be em ployed. His deception, however, secured him sufficient points to place him at the head of the list. GROCER ASKS INJUNCTION ELEO WANTS HIS PUTATIVE PARTNER RESTRAINED. Says He Is Benefactor of John Ma- randas and Victim to Let ter's Ingratitude. Magdalena Eleo has brought suit in ths Circuit Court to have John Maris das restrained from Interfering with Eleo's business. Eleo explains that he owns a grocery store at 285 Burnside street. On November 4 he entered into a verbal agreement with Marandas by which the latter was to allow his name to be Inscribed on the store window as though he were a partner, and was to receive a share of the profits of the store. In return he was to devote his time to waiting on customers. But Marandas ie said to have been unappre ciatlve of his neighbor's philanthropic spirit, spending his time in drinking and hgh living, while the cash in the till decreased. Eleo asserts that he was compelled to terminate his contract with Marandas July 25, but that the junior partner continues to collect money from cus tomers, which he spends for his own pleasure.
