Richards, who was rearrested on a farm near Cleone. Is In the County Jail, and Chief tlover said yesterday morn ing that he would not send him back o IJnnton. ' "I don't want to see the man mur dered." he said. KU a borate negotiations, reaching all the official concerned In Richards' Im prisonment, preceded his release, which Is said to have been granted by Rrljrsjs for a consideration. Rich ards, a music teacher, was arrested last June on a chance of assaulting a young woman with a deadly weapon. Ttiref Month I Sentence. At the trial.

Chief Mover ana h.irmjn Coffv went to Crane's farm Wednesday afternoon and obtained a statement from Richard, who made a full admission. Chief Plover swore to a complaint against Brlggs yesterday morning. Aiding Escape Is Charge. The District Attorney waa In a quandary as to Ike charge to make. Rrlggs Is a policeman, but the alleged transaction took place outside of the Jurisdiction. Complaint was drawn finally under the statute against aiding a prisoner to escape. The penalty pro vided Is that the guilty person shall be punished the same as tba one he aided to escape. Thus Brlggs. If con victed. Is liable to 0 days' Imprison ment and a fine of tioo. The District Attorney Is expecting that if the case comes to trial, the validity of the city's system of con fining its prisoners outside the city limits will be questioned. If it can be established that it haa no right to uo so. Brings could make a valid de fense that the men under his care were " not prisoners and that no offense had been committed. I'nder the system In vogue, there has been great looseness In the method of handling the city prisoners and ac counting f r them. After they go Into nr-ires' hands there Is no method of . knowing how Ion they remain, unless a new question arises. Brlj:g I-ong Suspected. Trevlous actlona of Brlggs have been looked upon with suspicion and It has been said frequently that an excessive number of prisoners escaped from the Llnnton stockade. About a year ago Arley J.

STEP SPIEO Wooden Block Interests Seen Behind Withdrawal. BITULITHIC IS CANCELED Improvement of Kearney Street lie ctnded. New Bid Ukely to Show Which Tpe or Street Work , I Cheapest War Iue. Action bv the City Council In re sclndlng proceedings for bltulithic pavement on Kearney street. In North Portland, hae disclosed what is regara ed as one of the most significant movea In paving circles for years. V hile the provisions or trie eo-cniirn r..i- mnt to the charter, calling for at leas two kinds of hard-surface pavement on all calls for bid. Is used aa a basis for the action. It Is believed that the manu facturers of creosoted wood blocks ara behind It. . This Is believed for the reason that several months ago many property owners on Kearney street petitionee; tha City Council for wood blocks and It waa thought for a time that their petition would be granted, but the Council flnallv refused the request, ordering a bltullthlr pavement Instead. This had been sought by a smaller number of persons Interested. It was supposed un til now that It was a closed Incident, but H develops that the Bltulithic Com pany, not having laid the Improvement, made a fatal mistake, for aome Inter ests got to work and obtained tha action noted. Bitter Wiir Tends. With the ordinance ordering bltu lithic paving repealed, tha Kearney street proposal la left Just as It was before tha big fight of last Winter. What the next step In this battle be tween paving companies will be Is un known, but it es believed at the City Hall that the war will be bitter. Under the F.iila amendment, however. If any pavement la laid there at all. at least two kinds must be specified. In point of fact. Mayor Rushlight haa Instruct ed City Engineer Hurlburt always to present to the Council three sets of plans and apeclf Icatlons. and In proper i districts these will Include wood blocks. In view of-the fact that many poperty ownsra have previously petitioned for blocks on Kearney atreet. It seems rea sonable to believe that these will be among the kinds submitted In any fur ther contest there. If wood blocks are submitted In com petition with bltulithic. asphalt or ! m. It will resolve Itself Into a question as to which is rheapest and best In tha long run; whether wood niorks. although costlngvmore In the Initial step, will last sufficiently longer than tha others tomake them. In re alltv, cheaper In tba end. It is within the'Councll'a discretion to decide this, under the Kills law. which now gov crna In all cases. Wood Regarded Cheaper. At a recent special session of tha street committee of tba City Council, statements by experts were received to the effect that wood blocks are much cheaper In tha end. because of their en durance and the further fact that they require little or no repairs during a long term of years, than any other pavement, although they cost more In the first Instance. A committee of representative business men. having made a atudy of treated blocks fot pavements, urged that these be given a good trial here. " , Since the Ellis amendment became a law. there haa been constant effort In various aectlona of the city to have pro ceedings already carried through for hard-surface pavement resclndej tnat the property-owners may have the benefit of Its provisions. It Is said tnat property-owners living In a large district, bounded by Gllsan and Hoyt and Tenth and Fifteenth streets, are seeking to obtain this action, that they mav have the benefit mat may reeuu it the Council orders competitive bids sub mitted there. The ordinance now calls for Belgian blocks, one of the most ex pensive of pavements, but It is said that a petition Is to be presented to the Executive Board, asking the mem bers not to award any contract at this time, but to recommend competitive bids.

The reply was to the following effect: In the Summer of 111 two young men from the East came to Oreion to apend the Summer on a visit. They took a hunting and fnhlng trip Into the Cascade Mountains, and pitched camp on the bank of an un known stream, mhose beauty, purity, clear new and fecundity of fish fascinated them.

I POLICE SERGEANT COLE DISCHARGED Incompetency and Appeal Over Chief's Head Cause Dis , missal by Mayor. ACT TESTS CIVIL SERVICE Tjushllght Notifies Executive Board and Commissioner of Step Taken. Alleged Graft hy Accused Man Not Mentioned. Mavor Rushlight filed with the mem ber of the police committee of the Executive Board yesterday his reason for 'dlschsj-ging" Sergeant Cole from the nollce force. He assigned incom petency, -taking advantage of Section 117. as amended by vote or tne people, relative to Civil Service rules. The statement 1 addressed not only to the board members, but also to the Civil Service Commissioners. The basis of the charge Is, that Ser- geat Cole, who had been' transferred from a district on the West Side to one on the East Side by order of Act ing Chief Slover. without the knowl edge or consent of the Chief, appealed neraonallv to the Mayor for an order annulling the order of transfer. Thl is the first time in the history of the city that an employe of the Civil Service departments has been dis charged by the Mayor, or has been dis missed on general charges ot incom petency In such a manner Irice the Civil Service rules were amended. It Is to be a test of the question as to whether this can be done, or whether other specific charge must be pre ferred and proved. Graft Not Mentioned. When Sergeant Cole was discharged by the Mayor. It was said that he wa Involved in "grafting" money from women of the underworld, but nothing Is said about this In the charges of the Mayor filed yesterday. Cole is at lib erty to take an appeal from the May- or' action, going either to tne execu tive Board or Civil Service Commission. It would be useless for him to seek relief from the board, however, as there Is no doubt the member would sustain I the order of dismissal. He win proo ably take his case direct to the com mission, as there Is where the big fight will take place. The full text of the Mayor's notifica tion of his "discharge" of Sergeant Cole 1: -v . . . . 'This is to Inform you that I nave discharged from the service Sergeant Cole, of the police department, and I make the following statement in ac cordance with the provisions of Sec tion S17, as amended, of the charter. reaulrlng me to state my reasons ror such discharge in general terms: Service's Good Intended. 'I discharged said Sergeant Cole in good faith and for the good of the service. Sergeant Cole had been trans ferred by the Chief of Police to a dis trict on the east side of the river, and said Cole, without the consent of the Chief, and without his knowledge, ap pealed to me personally to change him from the East Side district back to the West Side district, dlsregaraing tne Chief entirely. "His act In Ignoring his Buperior ana appealing to me as Mayor Is a violation of the dlsclpllnee of the police depart ment, and Is a proceeding that should not be countenanced. The Chief is the head of the police department, ana no other officer In the department has a right to go over his head to any other officer of the city government. "Sergeant Cole a work is not satis factory to the department, and he 1 not an efficient officer; and I. there fore, considered It my duty, tnat proper discipline could be maintained, and that the ervlce of the police department could be Improved, to discharge him from the service."
