Efforts of Bankers and Others to Have Tliem Canceled Nullified liy the LaTr. Some time ago the Portland Clearins House Association sent a communication to Internal Revenue Collector D. M. Dunne, requesting that steps be taken to have the Treasury Department send a deputy collector or special agent out here "by July J. to inspect and cancel the im printed revenue stamps of the associated banks of this city, thus saving the annoy him about It. and he spoke well, In a way he should not have spoken." Quinton, who comes from Kentucky, Is one of the largest men on the force, and previous to the recent charter bill agita tion he was night, jailer, but the bad sanitary arrangements of the city Jail af fected his health, and he was transferred to a beat in South Portland. He was dis satisfied with the beat assigned to him, as he wished a beat In the business section of the city. Lately the- relations between Quintcn and several of his brother officers have not been over-cordial, and the fact that he has been suspended does not come as a surprise to some people.

OF COBIMERCE INDORSES HIM FOR CHINESE POST." Pacific Const Commercial Organiza tions Uniting to Support His Candidacy. Efforts to Erect Sheds to Protect Pe destrians Balked. H. BInnlan and other East Side resi dents, who have been agitating in various 1 wars th Trrnivdflnn tn hmlri on encn sloe ance and expense of sending stationery j of he draws of tne city'6 bridges sheds containing Mich stamps to Washington , t0 shelter the pedestrians waiting for the draw to close, are experiencing difficulty for cancellation and credit. Collector Dunne has received a number of commu nications of much the same tenor from banks in all parti, of this district. Some two years ago most of the banks bought a large number of check books. books of drafts, etc, with imprinted in accomplishing this simple reform. The proposal. Mr. BInnlan saye, does not in volve a cent of expense either to the Coun ty Commissioners or the O. R. & K. Co., which controls the steel bridge, as the citizens plan to raise the $40 necessary to stamps. It was not Supposed at that time i build each shed by voluntary contributions that the use of revenue stamps on such documents would be done away with so soon, therefore many banks lind a large number of these checks and drafts Wt on their hands. The Government will refund the money paid for the imprinted stamps, but requires the checks and drafts to be sent to "Washington. The bankers thought that if an agent were sent here to cancel the stamps and give credit for them they could go on using these checks and drafts, Hhlch cost them a lot of money. Commissioner Terkes writes to Collector Dunne to call the attention pf the bankers to the following provision of the law In regard to the redemption of stamps: The owners of Imprinted instruments checks, drafts, etc . who desire"- to have the stamps thereon redeemed must. In addition to filing claims as aforesaid, forward all such im printed instruments securely packed to this of fice. Packages -containing the same should be addressed to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, "Washington. D. C, and each pack age shbuld he plainly marked with the name and address of the owner w ho made the claim for redemption, and a statement of the num ber and lilnd of instruments contained in the package. Stamps for each claim should b" packed separately, and no package should con tains stamps presented for redemption on more than one claim. Tnder the law and regulations oil stamped instruments and all imprinted checks, drafts, etc , presented for the redemp tion of the stamps thereon must, when the stamps are redeemed, be retained with the. claim; therefore, no such Instruments can be returned to the owners thereof. All packages of stamped papers and stamps fdrwsxded to this ofllce for redemption should be transmitted by express or registered mail, and all expense of forwarding same must -be paid by the claimants, as the Government is not authorized under any circumstances to pay such expenses or any part thereof. Collectors are instructed to see that claims are completed in full compliance -with law and regulations before the same are forwarded to this office. The books of checks and drafts, etc, which must be sacrificed under the law, are of considerable value, some of the drafts in particular .being worth about half as much as the stamps. of the patrons of the bridges, but the difficulty they are meeting is that they are unable to get permission to put up the sheds, in case the money is raised. Mr. Binnian and his friends first ap plied to the County Commissioners for permission to erect the sheds. They were referred to the O, R. & , Co. for permission to erect the ones on the steel bridge in which they are especially interested. Chief Engineer Kennedy, of the O. R. & N. Co., raised some objections on the grounds that the sheds would be unsightly, and referred the petitioners to President Mohler. Yes terday, Mr. BInnlan received a letter from President Mohler stating that the engi neering department of the road did not regard the project favorably, and also stated the draw of the steel bridge turned as promptly as any other draws in the city, and that no other bridge In the city had these sheds. The advocates of the sheds say that they simply desire a covering over the foot path for about 30 feet on each side of the draw to serve as shelter from the rain and sun, and, since they are willing to raise the money to build the Improvement In a neat and sightly manner, they are at a loss to know why such a simple re quest in the Interest of the comfort of the bridge's patrons should not be grant ed. Mr. Binnian also says that he is at a loss to know just exactly what to do further in the matter. TALKED BACK TO THE CHIEF Therefore Patrolman Bis- John Quin ton "Was Suspended.
