who. even tlien, I did not know was an
ofliccr. The way Henry was handled was
most brutal. He was clubbed Into insen
sibility and cast roughly into the patrol
wagon. There certainly were enough ofll
cers engaged to deal with my brother
without beating him. The assertion that
he was intoxicated is as absurd as it Is
false."
BONDING ASSESSMENTS DUE
There was n 1mm. time yesterday on the
Fide Uaes ot xhe lire. Henry C. Albers.
the firm of Albers Jfc ScbneMer, whose
liIerly rs entirely destroyed, was
I . .!y beaten by the police, and Is confined
i St. Vincent's Hospital from his wounds.
ii. de ; iTt he was et upon by the po
1' v- in a. most brutal and savage manner
f.r attempting to enter the burning build -'!
p. The episode caused a great deal or
t.-mmetu and excitement all over town
j terday.
Inasmuch as Henry Albers is n mem
bir of the llrm whose property was afire
and was entitled not only to the privi
lege of free access to the burning prem
ises but also to the jwotecUon of the
police, there lias been a great deal of
criticism of the savage Way in which
the oliicers handled him.
Mr. Albers had been present from the
time the fire started. After the obce ar
rived and established their lines around
the building. Mr. Albers attempted to
ntcr the building. He was held up by
Sergeant O. 1 Church.
Church, who had charge of the detach
ment of police at the fire, was in citizen's
clothes, with his overcoat buttoned to
the chin, and the Albers and a number
of spectators say. did not wear 'a star.
Church says he had his star conspicuously
displayod. Several other jralicemea make
the same statement. Mr. Albers was.
according to a number of people, in front
of his burning building, talking to two or
three men. Church, the same people said,
stepped up to him. grabbed him by the
shoulder and tried to load him away.
These people are positive that Cnurch did
not wear a rtar. Mr. Albers, they said,
apparently did not know Church was an
ollictfr, and refused to go with .him.

Flunk Albers raised his umbrella and
fctruck the ofllcer twice on the head.

Either the q:iarr4 or mistreatment by
t'M iatrolmen aroused Henry Albers'

S rgcant Church, when asked for his
st iteirnt of the trouble, said:
"My ttention was called to Albert by

Ilrutnl Assault. Says Frank Albers.
Frank Albers. whose umbrella handle
raised two knobs on the cranium of OHi
c r Church, declared last night that the
police had perpetrated a most brutal and
unwarranted, assault.
"My brother and I started to enter the
lulldlng." he said. "A man in ordinary
c othes took hold of my brother roughly
and tried to force him lack. This man

time there were no means of knowing it.
He wore no uniform and displayed no

somebody whom we had no means of

ing lime. AVe had a conflict, and I struck
w.th my umbrella a man who turned out
to be an ollleer in disguise. Immediately
;o'oenaen sprang forward from every
side fo many of them that nothing couiil
be seen but stars, blue coats and clubs.
lllccmc:i lsi CIub to KfTect.
"My brother resisted going into the pa-tr-M
wagon. He was pitched into the
wagon roughly, but slid down again. He
wns then set upon with clubs and beaten
'r.to insensibility. Rendered thus docile,
he was thrown aboard and held down se
curely, lest he might recover conscious
ness and offer resistance. He did not re
T've until after the police station was
reached. It is a lie that he had been
drinking."
"Church Ilnd No Stnr." Says Ilernnrcl
Alber.s.
Bernard Albers. president of the firm,
saw the fracas, but took no part In It.
for he realized the officers were bnt on
having- their wav and were strong enough
to enforce It. He sold:
"Church had no star. He had no mark
whatever to distinguish him as an 'officer.
I thought at first It was an altercation
between my brother and an ordinary per
son. Church might have had a star under
his coat or in his pocket, but it was aD
solutely not visible, 'When the regular
officers took charge of my brothers Frank
and Henry I asked them: 'Why don't you
take hlin, too?' and I pointed at Church,
Xotlce'Givcn for Annual Installments
I,eilcd by Common Council.
City Treasurer Werlein gives notice that
the annual installments levied by the
Common Council under the bonding act
for street and sewer Improvement assess
nents on property bonded prior to April
1. 1501. are now due. and payable at his
office, and unless paid before April 1, 19C2,
will be declared delinquent.
As there has been some mlsunderstana-
Inc lr rTorl tn nOT-montS flf installments
under the bonding act, Mr. Werlein gives
the following information for the benefit
of those who have taken advantage of tne
bonding act:
Up to March 22. 1901, all property bonded
was required to pny one-tenth of the
amount annually and Interest on deferred
or delinquent payments only. All prop
erty bonded since March 23, 1901, pays one
tenth of the assessment annually, with
Interest at C per cent per annum on un
paid 'alances.
Ordinance 12,310 makes a levy of a spe
cial tax, equal to the annual installments
and unpaid balances upon certain property
assessed for the cott of the improvement
of certain streets and the laying of cer
tain Kwers. the owners of which property
made application to pay their assessments
for the cost of.such improvements, by in
stallments, as provided by an act of the
Legislature of the State of Oregon. This
ordinance was parsed by the Common
Council, and is now in the hands of City
Treasurer Werlein. with a warrant In
structing him to give public notice of the
tax, and whin the same becomes delin
quent, immediately after April 1. 1902, the
treasurer will make a report and return
to the Common Council showing the
amount of said special tax collected and
the amount remaining unpaid.
There are over 4&0O lots assessed under
the precision of this ordinance, and all
property-owners, to avoid a tedious wait,
will do well to call at the Treasurer's of
fice at once.
To facilitate and simplify the collection
the City Treasurer has prepared an al
phabetical index of each name, where it
appeals on the roll, the nature of the as
sessment and the amount.
Many people have an Idea that property
bonded under the provisions of the act
passed by the Legislature February 22.
Ia82. docs not bear Interest. This Is cor
rect, so long as the installments are paid
prior to delinquency, but interest on de
ferred payments is charged and collected
at the legal tate of Interest, the city's
authority in this matter having been
passed upon by the Supreme Court of the
slate.
The operation of the law under the pro
visions of the act passed February 22, 1S93,
and of the uct passed February 2S. 1901,
is dUl'erent in regard to interest payments,
the act of 1SB being construed by the
courts to prevent interest collections on
''efern-d ijments only, while the act of
1S01, directs the collection of interest on
unpaid lialances. This slight difference
In the woruing of the two laws has caused
a heavy draft on the general fund to meet
the dencleney In Interest payments for the
redemption of matured coupons.
Under the new act things are different.
For instance, A bonds a lot for the im
provement ot a street for ?HW on February
21. 1991. On February 21, 1992, he would
have to pay a 10 per cent Installment and
M interest, while under the old law only 10
per cent installment coukl be collected, and
no interest. If the assessment under the
old law should run delinquent for one
year, and the next year said delinquent
iaid. only CO cents interest would be
chargeable. Under flie act of 1901. in
stead of there being one levy in January
of each year, the installments will be due
one year from the date of the application
to bond.

FUXEUAL, OF F. A. MIEXIG.
Founder and Pioneer Ite.siilent of
Sandy 1 Hurled.
Tho funeral of F. A. MIenlg. a pioneer
resident of Sandy, 27 miles from Port
land, was held yesterday at that place,
and the Sandy cemetery was the place
of Interment. Mr. MIenlg was one of the
best-known men In that portion of Clack
amas County. He was the founder of
the Sandy settlement, and went there
about 2S years ago, when there were no
other settlers for miles. He put up a ho
tel, a saw-mill and other buildings, and
encouraged improvements. His hotel was
the stopping p'ace of Mount Hood tour
ists. Ho encourages the building and
planking of the wagon road from Tlens
ant Home to Sandy, a work of no small
magnitude and Importance, as it has done
more to open up that district to settle
ment than anything else, as It provided
easy access to Portland. He was justly
regarded as a man of influence In the
community, and his funeral was largelv
attended.

three nights, with a matinee Wednesday,
presenting Lorlmer Stoddard's dramatiza
tion of F. Marlon Crawford's romantic i
love story of old Madnd "In the Palace
of the King." Miss Allen's success In this
nfw play, replacing the popular "Chris
tian." has been extraordinary. In every
city where the play has been presented
the receipts have been to the capacity of
the playhouse. The new play Is described
as being one of great dramatic power. It
Is divided Into six scenes, and In only one
particular does It differ from the book. In
Mr. Stoddard's dramatization a new char
acter Is Introduced, that of Cardinal Luis !
de Torres, and It Is he. insjtead of Don J
John, who is stabbed by Philip. Tiiose
who have read the book and witnessed
tho play will quickly discover the dra
matic value of this change by Mr. Stod
dard. Miss Allen's role, that of Dona
Dolores do Mendoza. Is said to be one
particularly suited to her spkmdld talents
nnd in which she shines with great bril
liancy. The scenery and costumes, deplet
ing the splendid era of Philip II, are de
scribed as being of great magnificence.
Owing to the length of the performance,
the curtain will rise promptly at 8 o'clock.
Late comers will have to remain standing
until the fall of the curtain on tho first
act.
