lucige McGinn Seeks to Have
Light Thrown on Police
Captain's Case.
RESPONSIBILITY IS FIXED
Jurist Says Under New Charter
Numerous Boards Are Replaced
by Man Who Is Elected to Do
Things by Own Methods.
City officials should not be enjoined
from performing duties specifically
laid dowi: for them. Judg-e McGinn hel-1
yesterday in dissolving the temporary
Injunction issued by Judgre Morrow re
straining: the Civil Service Commission
from reviewing- the discharg-e of Police
Captain Slover by Mayor Albee. If the
officials abuse their power and author
ity. Judge McGinn said, Mr. Slover then
may have his day in court, when their
action may be investigated.
"Turn on the light and "go to it,"
Judge McGinn said. "If the discharge
.was made for political reasons, the
people will know and see that justice
is done. No man has a right to hold
office who will go into court and say
1 "My superiors want to investigate me
stop them.'
"Is the extraordinary writ of in
junction to be applied every time an
official is supposed to have departed
from the path of his duty? If the Civil
Service Boaard can be stopped from
making an investigation, who can make
an investigation? I have very strong
convictions regarding injunctions. This
extraordinary writ has been used in
the past like the thunderbolts of Jove.
I do not believe the injunction writ
should be granted by a court to re
strain officials from a proper dis
charge of their duties as they see
them."
Attorney Hears Remedy.
C. M. Idleman, attorney, who ap
peared for ex-Captain Slover, asked
what remedy they would have if the
injunction were dissolved, and urged
that under the present charter the
Council, and not the Mayor, has the au
thority to discharge employes of the
city.
"Under the present charter the re
sponsibility Is fixed," answered Judge
McGinn. "Under the old regime there
were boards and boards, but now a
man is elected to do things and he may
use his own means and his own meth
ods, but the responsibility for his ac
tions Is fixed, and if he abuse that au
thority, you have the right to review
his actions."
"The enjoining of an official from
performing his duties as they mti.y bo
prescribed by the existing laws is tyr
anny of the worst sort," said the
judge. "If the courts interfere with a
co-ordinate branch of the government
in the discharge of its duties I know
liot to what wo would come.
io Injustice Kxpectcd.
"I believe that no injustice will be
done to Mr. Slover If his appeal to the
Civil Service Hoard is taken up by that
board and disposed of in regular man
ner. If hn was discharged without suf
ficient cause the pub'ic will know, for
it is impossible to conceal these things
in this day of reaching the public
through the press."
Captain Slover was discharged fiom
the police department by Mayor Albee
last December. He took an appeal to
the Civil Service Board, bur. on the date
set for the hearing of his appeal by
hat board he brought a suit in Circuit
Court and asked for an injunction, re
straining that board from reviewing his
discharge.
IN VIEW of the fact that J. P. Slo
cum, manager of "The Quaker Girl,"
coming to the Heilig next week, is
a member of Medina Temple of the Chi
cago Mystic Shrlners, the Al Kader
Temple, f Portland, has purchased 500
tickets and will make Monday night a
"night in Shrinedom." The members of
the organization will attend in full
dress.
"The Quaker Girl" is a musical com
edy of lilting melodies and graceful
dances, and last season made a great
sensation in Portland theaterdom.
The cast of "The Quaker Girl" this
season is superior to last season. Vic
tor Morley, who headed the cast last
season, will be seen again in the same
part. " The rest of the company seen
here last season includes William
Blaisdell, Murray Stephen. Phil J.
Moore, Carol Parson and Harry Sin
clair. Of the New York company there

DALY PLAN. CRITICISED
MAYOR OBJECTS TO CITV MAKING
CARLINE APPRAISAL.
Mr. Albee Says Members of State Rail
road Commission Should Be De
pended on to Do Duty.
City Commissioner Daly may not be
sustained by the City Council in his
plan to have the city appropriate funds
to pay an experf public service statis
tician to make an official appraisal of
the property of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company, for use in the
presentation by the city of arguments
before the State Railroad Commission
in favor of six streetcar fares for 25
cents in Portland and other rate ad
justments of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company. The measure
met with opposition at an informal
meeting of the Council yesterday. To
day Mr. Daly will present an amend
ment in which he will ask $5000 instead
of $7500.
When Comn issloner Daly pre
sented his views Mayor Albee declared
that It looked as though the plan might
be a duplication of work, inasmuch as
the Railroad Commission has men at
work on such an appraisal of the com
pany's property. Commissioner Daly
intimated that the interests of the city
might not be properly looked after un
less the city made its own appraisal to
present.
"I look at this proposition in another
light," said Mayor Albee. '"At recent
meetings I have urged the people to
have faith in public officials and I be
lieve we should have faith in the Rail
road Commissioners. The minute we
find that they will not work with us
we can do something else. They are
appointed to serve for the purpose of
rate adjustments. That is their func
tion the same as the City Commis
sion's function is to govern the city."
Commissioner Daly declared that his
plan was one of co-operation with the
Railroad Commission. He said tlio
streetcar company has presented an
appraisal of its own and the city should
present an appraisal containing figures
that the city believes should go in a
report.
SLOVKIt CASE VP NEXT WEEK

ice Board AVill Hold Hearing.
Following the decision of Circuit
Judge McGinn yesterday dissolving the
Injunction brought by ex-Police Cap
tain Slover to prevent the Municipal

lis & St. Louis line. Mr. Worthington
win engage in the business of "rail
road expertlng" for bankers and bond
buyers who need such services. He
will have offices In Chicago.

085 in various parts of the city. The
principal district to be benefited will
be the southeast section.
Selection of the mains to be laid this
Spring has been under way in the engi
neering division of the water depart

Clarke has investigated a long list of
petitions for mains. Of the amount to
be expended, $48,230 will be for mains
to go in in advance of paving.
ent open Winter has prevented a short
age of stocks in the markets.

a prime necessity, will be roused to
learn that backbone, either fresh or
salted, is 8 cents and sparerlbs 16 cents
a pound, that beef tongues are 20 cents
and oxtails 12 cents a pound; that
tripe and kidneys are 10 cents and
liver 15 cents a pound; that smoked
ham is 18 cents and leaf lard 15 cents
a pound.
Poultry is rather scarce, owing no
doubt to the heavy roads. But the
stock offered looks "good" in every
sense and prices remain reasonable.
Turkeys are 30 cents, geese' 25 and
ducks 30 cents a pound. Spring chick
ens are 22 to 25 cents a pound.
Eggs have risen again 50, 45 and
40 cents a dozen for fresh ranch stock.

two-pound rolls.
One of the "newcomers" this week
in market was the skin of a small
bear, which was offered at $2.50 and
attracted considerable attention.
IRISH-AMERICANS IN CLUB
New Social Organization in Portland
Will Eschew Politics.
Persons of Irish descent living in
Portland recently completed the or
ganization of the Irish-American Fel
lowship Club, and elected the follow
ing set of officers: President, J. J.
Kenny; vice-president, Edward Ryan;
recording secretary, Richard Flannl
gan; financial secretary, Edward Flan
nlgan; treasurer, D. W. Lane; sentinel,
Dan Smith.
The organization is non-sectarian
and non-political, and is conducted
along social, educational and patriotic
lines. Meetings will be held every
Tuesday evening at 126 Second street.
The Government has issued a
timely warning against the food ' faddists who are offering to
cure all sorts of ailments with strangely concocted food prepar
ations that are supposed to supply the needed elements for restor
ing wasted tissue and energy. .
ft
is not a "food fad". It is the one universal, staple breakfast cereal
that has survived all the ups and downs of public fancy. It will
not cure disease, but its continued use will keep the stomach
sweet and clean and the bowels healthy and active. It will cor
rect many digestive disorders and thus restore health and strength
through proper nutrition- a food for invalids and athletes, for out
door men and indoor men. Ask your grocer.
Always heat the Biscuit in oven to restore crispness. Two Shredded
Wheat Biscuits with hot milk or cream will supply all the energy
needed for a half day's work. Deliciously nourishing when eaten in
combination with baked apples, stewed prunes, sliced bananas or
canned or preserved fruits. Try toasted Triscuit, the Shredded Wheat
wafer, for luncheon with butter, cheese or marmalade.

Matter of Hard Surfacing Base Line
Route to Upper Sandy River

Proposed hard-surfacing of the Base
Line road from the city limits to the
top of the hill .west of the Upper Sandy
River bridge will be discussed tonight
at a meeting to be held at Rockwood.
Commissioner Holman, Roadmaster
Yeon and possibly Engineers Lancaster
and McMullen will be present to ad
vise the affected property owners what
will be done and the approximate cost
if the ranchers along the route favor
the improvement.
"The matter will be put up to the
ranchers." said Mr. Holman, "and if
they want the road hard-surfaced we
will have it done. We are going out
to explain the process of hard-surfacing
to them and advise with them
to ascertain their wants."
Engineer McMullen, who is working
out much of the engineering details
of the road work, said that he was
preparing a map showing the exact
area which will be affected by the
hard-surfacing. The law provides that
property to a distance of one mile on
either side of the road may be assessed
to pay for half the improvements, but
where . two trunk roads are so close
that some property would be assessed
for both roads, the road department has
determined to decrease the assessable
district so that there will be no over
lapping of the districts, or one piece
of property assessed to hard-surface
