Portland business men and other heavy taxpayers view with disfavor the pro posed overturning of the Police Depart ment as undertaken by the Multnomah delegation at Salem. The following Inter views obtained yesterday by Oregonian reporters fairly show public sentiment on the subject: Edward Ehrman, of Mason, Ehrman & Co.

It Is satisfactory. Chief McLauchlan is a good man, and has shown himself to be competent and honest in the discharge of his duties. J. C. Luckel, of the Luckel, King & Cake Soap Company. So far as the Po lice Department is concerned, I am sat isfied with it. The Chief is a competent man. and is honest and sincere In doing his duty. He has kept the city as free from crime as any of his predecessors, and with a smaller force. W. B. Glafke Company. The Chief of Police is satisfactory, and we don't think a new police force is desirable. There has been less crime during the present regime than before. John Clark. The Police Department is all right, and so is the Chief. I don't wish to see a force of untried men, and think that politics should be kept from police maters. Honest service should be the first consideration. Richet & Co. There should not be a change in the present police force. We know we have a good man in Chief Mc Lauchlan, and we don't know what we might get. Let well enough alone. Page & Son. We are satisfied with the present Police Department, and have no complaints against it. B. H. Levy, of Mark. Levy & Co. The police are all right. The Chief Is satis, factory, and I desire no change.

I should like to see the force remain as it Is, believing that a change would be det rimental to the best Interests of the city. I. Lang, of Lang & Co. I am opposed to making a change In the Police De partment at the present time, to satisfy petty politicians of different political fac tions. If It were for good, substantial business reasons, then the matter would be worth considering. Chief McLauch lan and his force have kept the city clean that speaks for itself. Frederick H. Rothchlld, of Rothchlld Bros. Irrespective of politics, there should be no change in the personnel of the present Police Department. It has shown Itself to be as efficient as others we have had. I am personally ac quainted with Chief McLauchlan, and know him to be capable, conscientious, and painstaking, and as good a man as it has been possible to secure. The city is as free from crime now, and probably more so, than In former years. M. Seller & Co. As far as- our judg ment goes, the present Police Department is efficient and satisfactory. F. A. Spencer, manager for Allen & Lew is. Considering the limited number of patrolmen and detectives at his disposal. Chief McLauchlan has made a magnifi cent showing. I .know him to be consci entious, energetic and honest, and believe his removal would, not serve the best Interests of the city. The whole Police Department Is satisfactory. Wadhams & Kerr Bros. The present Police Department Is unquestionably ef ficient and capable, and In our opinion it would be a grave error In judgment to make any change In the personnel of the Chief and tried and efficient officers who have thoroughly demonstrated their abil ity. Chief McLauchlan has been one of the very best officers the city has ever had. Portland Coffee & Spice Co. So far as our knowledge goes, the Police Depart ment Is honest and efficient. So long as they do their duty, politics should- not interfere with them, and we don't want untried .men to take the places of officers of experience. J. Walrath, manager of the Bishop Cracker Company. I see no reason why the present Police Department should be displaced, so long as they perform the duties devolving upon them and carry out the enforcement of the law, as well as new men. I believe Chief McLauchlan to be a competent and, reliable official, and don't wish to see the present officers changed. Rosenfeld-Smlth Company Chief Mc Lauchlan Is efficient and honest, and with the limited number of policemen at his disposal he has done the best he could for the best Interests of the city. "We do not wish to see any change made in the police force. Thanhauser Hat Company. We desire no change In the Police Department, be lieving it to be very efficient. Politics should r.ot interfere with the officers of the law. so long as they are competent. Chief McLauchlan Is as efficient an of ficial as the city has had. He Is honest and strictly attentive to business. Beno & Ballls. We are satisfied with the present Police Department. Wadhams & Co. We are perfectly sat isfied with the actions of the Police De partment, and see no reason why there the Chief, whom I know personally, can not be Improved upon. He is honest and efficient, and I desire no change. . SOME HOPE FOR HIM. Messenger Dor Convicted of Kldnap ing Not Altogether Depraved. Chester Van Hoy, the 15-year-old mes senger boy who kidnaped the son of John Dltchburn, December 17, was examined yesterday by County Physician McKay and Dr. Harry F. Lane, for the purpose o determining the mental and physical condition of the boy. Sentence will be pronounced upon the boy in a few days, and the peculiar circumstances surround ing the case, the boy's youth and previous good character, was the reason the ex amination as to his sanity was made. Regarding the boy's condition. Dr. Lane said yesterday: "We found that the boy was perfectly sane, although weak-minded and easily led. He is also far from being In a strong physical condition. He tells a straight story in regard to his connection with the man who, he says, lured him from home on the promise of taking him to a Government school, got his money away from, him, and then duped Into the kidnaping job and left him. I nave no doubt that there was such a man in the case, and that the boy was thus led Into mischief. His story of leaving home with the Intention of enter ing this Government school Is confirmed by a letter from his father. The boy is at a young and Impressionable age, and I believe, if properly trained, would make a good man. He has always been a good boy before, and the Penitentiary Is no place for him." BANQUET TO DAVENPORT. He Rctnrns Thanks to His Native ToTrn for Being Allowed to Live. SILVERTON, Feb 18. (Wirelese spe cial.) A banquet was given here tonight to Homer Davenport, of East Orange, N. J., who is at present engaged in drawing Inspiration from the roar of Silver Creek and the pure air which he breathed In the days of his childhood. John Wolford and Chief of Police Slmeral were among the guests of honor. During the course of his telling and effective speech, Mr. Daven port said: "As my friend, Mark Hanna, would eay, 'Ich bin heute gariz zufrleden. This !s the happiest day of my life. After the way I threw it Into my friends up here In that classic bit of literature I penned on the Silverton fire, I expected an awful fate. Instead, this Is the most enjoyable fete which has fallen to my lot. I am glad to be in Silverton again. It fills my heart with pleasure to hear the lay of the chlckenis whose ancestors laid for me: the gobble of the turkeys reminds me of how thankful I should be that you didn't hang me. "I have been accused of drawing checks on Mark Hanna. They were never more than ?1 each, however, end I have never cashed any of them. Be that as It may, 't is time to check this flow of oratory, so let's drink the health of Silverton." The report of the death of Preacher Harris, who was pastor for about one year of the Calvary Baptist Church, East Eighth and East Grant streets, sevcra' years ago, has been confirmed by a well known Baptist minister on Information that ho drems authentic. According to this Information Harris committed suicide in San Francisco several months ago. The only doubt about the matter Is In 1 the statement that he committed suiciae out of remorse and chagrin over the crim inal actions of his son, who was also a well-known character on the East Side. His former acquaintances and the mem bers of Calvary Baptist Church will hard ly accept this explanation of his taking off by his own hand, as they are now as sured that he was a sort of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, living a dual life, while acting as pastor of the church. His case was a most remarkable one. For the first six months he was very pop ular with the church, and also with the community. He was a bright, forcible speaker, and took well socially, but cer. tain peculiar actions caused uneasiness on the part of the leading members, and yet he had gained such a strong hold that he came near dividing the church. Considerable money was appropriated for the purchase of wood, more than was con sidered necessary, and when questioned what he had done with the wood, replied, "I ate It." He noticed that the congre gation was falling "Off, and ho said: "If you don't like my preaching you can go h 1." iHe said that he had been a lawyer of repute back In Illinois, and he carried a scrapbook full of clippings of what the newspapers had said about him. In many respects he was a remarkable character. He was particularly active In looking af ter the poor In the community and those who needed help. But one thing that puz zled even his friends, was that he was constantly appearing with a pocket full of gold and silver, at a time when the church was hardly able to pay current expenses. He frequently remarked that he made more In one day than the church paid him In three months, but always In timated that he was in the real estate business. Landmarks Going. With the Improvement of East Thirty third street, at Sunnyside, the row of shade trees planted by James Abraham 40 years ago or more will disappear. Al ready the work of destruction has been commenced. The trees for about two blocks have been sawed down preparatory to grading out the street. The land oc cupied by Sunnyside was the old home of the pioneer, and he planted the row of shade trees from the Base Line road south nearly to Hawthorne avenue. The farm was the ground work of the big for tune he amassed, which has been large ly dissipated. The New Central Scltoolhonse. The south wing of the old Central Schoolhouse has been completely torn down, and most of the dobrls removed from the grounds. The brick from the foundation were carefully cleaned and piled up. Now that the grounds are clear the board will shortly ask for bids for the construction of the basement. The mat ter will probably be taken up at the next school meeting. Specifications have been prepared. East Side Notes. The Portland Railway Company will put In a switch on East Eleventh street, be tween Caruthers and East Division, so there will be less delay of cars. Ralls for the switch are on the ground, and It will be built in a few days. The funeral of Mrs. Annie Trowbridge, wife of John Trowbridge, was held at the Sunnyside Methodist Church yester day afternoon. Rev. H. B. Elworthy con ducted the services. Lone Fir cemetery was the place of Interment. Mrs. Lucia Additon, national lecturer of the W. C. T. U.. will hold a children's meeting In the Evangelical Church at Milwaukle, tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, and In the evening she will make a public address at the same place. The funeral services of Otto B. Wllskey were held yesterday forenoon at his home at Midway on the Milwaukle road. Mult nomah cemetery was the place of Inter ment. The deceased was 3S years and 7 months old. and had lived at -Midway three years. He left a family. An effort Is being made to start a bi cycle club on the East Side. A meeting will be held next Saturday evening for preliminary organization. The Zig-Zag Hope's Drama Pleases a Good Audi ence at the Marqtiam. "The Prisoner of Zenda" opened a half week's engagement at the Marquam Grand last evening to a well-filled house. The audience evidently enjoyed the perform ance, as the expressions of outward ap proval were often and freely given, and the Interest both In the play and players was at all times appreciative and sus tained. "In the Prisoner of Zenda" Anthony Hope rediscovered. If that word may be used, the long neglected field of ultra romantic themes for dramatic representa tion. Tho many romantic successes of tho past five years, which followed hard upon the original "Zenda" production are strong proofs that the school of Dumas and Sir Walter Scott yet lives. No one minds a Jot if the story is as lmprobablo as the famous orange grove on Green land's ley mountains, or that the charac ters live and move and have their being in a world that never existed when the third George was King and could not in tho prosaic present. The audience last evening enjoyed tho play with all the ap parent relish of those who believed every word they heard and had faith In the ex istence of every character. The fact that the book had been read before or that tho plot was familiar did not seem to forestall the pleasure of witnessing the pretty stage pictures and dramatic de lusions. The company which gives us the present production of "The Prisoner of Zenda" compares in many respects favorably with the original Ftohman presentation. Mr. Vaughah Glaser, who enacts Prince Ru dolf, has not the personal attractiveness of Hackett. and falls of his best work In a too evident desire to copy the car riage and voice of that actor. He has a fine presence and Is an earnest actor. Ruth Aldrldge, as the Princess Flavia, pleased her auditors and filled the char acter with credit and taste. She wore some very pretty gowns. Louis Gilbert and Daniel Dickens, as Tom and Ludwlg, proved themselves actors of the first or der and deserve especial credit. The scenery was particularly notlcable for the fine stage pictures It made, and the mountings as well as the fine lighting added considerably to the evening's en joyment. The same programme will be repeated this and tomorrow evening. INDOOR BASEBALL MATCH. Judge George Denies Nevr Trial for Insurance Company Against Tom Connell Conrt Notes. R. A. Gibson has filed a $10,000 damage suit against the Southern Pacific Com pany, alleging unjust and Illegal eject ment from a passenger train when he had furnished a ticket to the conductor for his passage. Gibson states In the complaint that he bought a ticket from Medford to Grant's Pass, for which he paid $1 30. This he gave to the conductor for his fare between the two places, and he states that it was accepted for such by the conductor. At Central Point, a station between the two places. Gibson asserts that the con ductor demanded his fare again. This he refused to give, stating that he had given up his ticket and was entitled to ride to Grant's Pass. "This the conductor de nied," the complaint goes on to say, "and the conductor then and there summoned the brakeman on the train to his assist ance, and, In the presence of other persons on the train, assisted by the brakeman. wrongfully assaulted and laid violent hands on the plaintiff, Gibson, and wrong fully and unlawfully and forcibly ejected him from the train at a point 1 miles from the town of Central Point." In order to secure shelter, Gibson states that he had to walk to Central Point; that he was of weak constitution, and suffered greatly from the exposure; that he was encumbered with a valise, also thrown out, weighing 35 pounds, "and that by reason of these facts he has been greatly humiliated. Injured and dam aged," and therefore prays for damages to the extent of 510,000 and costs and dis bursements of the suit. ADVANCE DISPLAY 0F- Wc yesterday received an additional .

Judge George yesterday denied tho Harford Insurance Company a new trial In its suit against Thomas Connell, which was decided In the latter's favor several weeks ago.

This closes one of the most daring real estate swindles ever perpetrated In Portland. Court Notes. Judge Sears allowed In part a motion to strike out parts of answer in the case of Joseph E.

Sale of Scats for Mrs. FlsUe Opens Today. Tho sale of seats for the engagement of Mrs. Fiske will open at the Mar quam box office today. She will begin her engagement Thursday night In "Becky Sharp." which will be repeated Friday. Saturday night "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" will be the attraction. The last act of "Backy Sharp" Is Mrs. Fisko's favorite act. Every one of tne four acts has a strong and legitimate Interest, and the great diversity in char acters and inr'd'enti; developed as the play proceeds and the story of Becky 3 adventures as unfolded in a measure ac count for the strong hold the drama takes upon the audience. From the moment the play begins the auditor is t- u, atmospnere or vanuy Falr," as one after another of the char acters appears they are recognized as re markamly faithful copies of Thackary's originals, and their, various emergencies as well as their language assist to an unusual illusion. Bin it Is the last act of the play, about which little has been said, comparatively, that is the most ai tlstlc of all. "The Eleventh Hour" nt Cordray's. The "Eleventh Hour" will be presented at Cordray's Sunday and all next week.1 This is the new play by Lincoln J. Car ter and justly considered by many to be his best.

During the third a:t -the working of the "block system" is shown Just as used on all railroads. The last act shows the drawins-room of one of Chicago's multi-millionaires, re produced from photographs of the orig inal; It is In this act that the terrific struggle for life occurs. While the two men strive for mastery. they break, smash and seemingly destroy all tho beautiful furniture, bric-a-brac and furnishings. "The Eleventh Hour" will be presented by a strong and capable company: the ladies showing some very handsomo costumes. Coclizitoo Shovr.
