"INS" TO HOLD ON
Minor Federal Jobs Under
Civil Service.
SAD BLOW TO HON. BILL BANKS
Be Cant Get That Job and the Bat.
tened Barn Mar After All Rear
IU Unxlsntlr Front
Before lllm.
TheUew Civil Service rules put In effect
by the President last "Wednesday will
ehut out many gentlemen who aspire or
who hunger for office. Recently there
has been a fierce scramble between a
number of estimable gentlemen for minor
Jobs In the Federal service, such as those
of Deputy District Attorney and Assist
ant Postmaster in Portland. The sew
rules will end that scramble and will
make the "ins" exceedingly glad and the
"outs" exceedingly ad.
By the new rules Edwin Mays, at pres
ent the Deputy District Attorney, will
bo retained in office whether Browne!!
or More land succeeds to the attorney
chip. By the new rules all pledges made
to William 'Wallace Banks by Senator
Fulton are set at nought so far as Mr.
Banks aspirations go for appointment as
Deputy District Attorney. Mays was
greatly rejoiced when he beard the glad
tidings yesterday, and Jumped so high
that he almost struck the celling. When
Banks scrambled aboard the Fulton bana-
wagon at the last minute of the "last
night" Of the Legislature he declared that
be was determined to go to his heart's
choice even though he and his wife ever
after should have to live in a barn with
battens in It It was pretty well under
stood that Pulton had promised some
thlnx better than battens. But of course
f lnce Banks will need some other re
ward now that the first has gone glim
mering. Senator Fulton will feel obliged
to save hia friend from getting down
to the mean existence of struggling for
the battens.
Among some of "the other estimable cel
ebrities who will be cut out by the new
rules are Jim Campbell, of Oregon City,
Brownell'a right-bower; F. G Grant, of
Portland, who greatly admires the senior
Senator "with the long whiskers," and
Hedges, of Oregon City, who hat Im
agined all along that he had a first mort
gage on the Job.
The new rules prescribe that "the clas
sified service shall include officers and
employes In the Executive Civil Service
of the United States heretofore or here
after appointed or employed. In positions
now existing or hereafter to be created,
of whatever function or designation,
whether compensated by a fixed salary or
otherwise, except persons employed mere
ly as laborers and persons whose appoint
ments are subject to confirmation by the
Senate."
This means that the "big" Jobs, such
as that of District Attorney, Marshal.
Postmaster, Collector of Internal Rev
enue. Collector of Customs. Surveyor
General and Receiver and Register of
the Land Offices will be appointed In the
same old way, namely: By confirmation
of the Senate. But all the Deputies and
clerks In the above named offices will
hold office under Civil Service regula
tions and may not be removed without
cause.
present tracks are with the rota worn
along side of them. i
Mr. Russell, of RnsseU & Blrta. wane
on a visit to Great Britain, will investi
gate the various kinds of wood block
pavements in use in the large cities there.
and the different methods of treating
them, and will report to City Engineer
Elliott on hU return. It is probable that
t.he Executive Board will also let con
tracts today for the Improvement of Ai
der1 street from Sixth to Lownsdale with
asphalt.
It is intended that Morrison street and
Washington street, as well as Alder,
Third street and Seventh, as well as
Sixth, shall all have good asphalt pave
ments before lfng, and a little improve
ment on Fifth street will make It a fine
street.
When all these Improvements are com
pleted, there will be & fine system of
streets In the center of the city. The
public has been looking forward a long
time for this, and when it is completed
the streets will all wear much longer
than when all the heavy traffic is con
fined to two or three of them.
CAMPAIGN SOOJT TO OPEX.
Democrats "Will Make Vlsrorom War
In First District.
Democrats are going to open their
campaign in the First district very soon,
perhaps next week. Sam White, chair
man of the State Central Committee and
of the executlvo committee of the dis
trict, is expected to arrive from Baker
City in a day or two. lie will fire the
first Democratic gun. probably from the
Democratic headquarters at Eugene.
Eugene will probably be the citadel of
Democracy In the district, partly because
of its good hotel accommodations, and
partly because of its central location.
The party will send its orators after
Hermann into every nook and cranny of
the district. Among them will be Gov
ernor Chamberlain, P. IL D'Arcy. of Sa
lem: C V. Galloway, of McMlnnvllle:
Alex 8 week, of Portland: Sam White and
their candidate. A. E. Reames. The execu
tive committee has one member from each
of the 17 counties, who will manage the
campaign In their respective localities.
R. W. Montague, of Portland. Is secre
tary of the committee, but J. E. Lathrop.
of Portland, has been named by Sam
"White as assistant secretary and will do
the active work of secretary In the district.

iously searching for her trunk, and ulti
mately lodged a claim for JIM damages
against the company owning the steamer.
Detectives Kerrigan and Show were
placed on the case, and they located the
missing trunk in a second-hand store
along Front street where it had been
placed by Plm. The tatter's arrest fol
lowed. "I took the trunk merely to get

POLICEMEN ON THE CARPET
Commissioners Investigate Charsea
Against Patrolmen,
Complaints have been mode against Po
licemen Welsh, Qulnton, Johnson and
two other policemen whose names are
not given at a meeting held yesterday
by the police committee of the Executive
Board, but no decision was arrived at
until the policemen s side of the stones
are heard. The whole of the charges
may tie summarized as neglect of duty,
The resignation of Policeman H. It
Parker was accepted, and ex-Policeman
Dan Conners was recommended to fill
the vacancy. A communication was re
ceived by the committee from Thomas
G. Mills, "proprietor of the Standard Ho
tel, complaining that Policeman Azel C
Welch had forcibly dragged him from the
Union Terminal depot and had humili
ated him. Mr. Mills wrote that he had
gone to the depot to return a baggage
check be had found.
The action ot Policeman Qulnton in the
part be took in connection with the strike
at the new Welnhard building was con
sidered, and In the opinion ot the Com
missioners he overstepped his authority.
Po'llceman Johnson was reported sus
pended, pending the Investigation ot a
charge that he had knocked down a man
in a saloon on the East Side. Johnson's
contention was that the man bad re
moved bis coat and was preparing to
right
Chief of Police Hunt reported that a
policeman, name not given, was present
on an occasion when a man accused an
other man of robbing him, yet the police
man did not make the arrest The po
liceman's excuse was that the victim re
fused to make a charge. The accused
man has since been arrested.
General Beebe remarked that while he
was on his way home after attending a
reception given by General Funston at
Vancouver, he stepped into a cigar store
early yesterday morning and found a
policeman seated on a chair telling yarns
with the proprietor of the place. Instead
of patrolling his beat On being interro
gated, the policeman admitted that he
was then on duty.

GUS ROUTH UNDER ARREST
Charged With Selling Liquor "With,
ont a License.
Gus Routh. who formerly conducted a
saloon under the notorious Cosmopolitan
on Third street near Everett was be
fore Municipal Judge Hogue yesterday
charged with selling liquor without a 11
cense, on the complaint of Deputy City
Attorney Fitzgerald, and was held in COO
bail for a further hearing April Zl.
There is a peculiar story back of the
case. J. W. Marshall was recently fined
J100 by Municipal Judge Hogue charged
with selling liquor without a license, and
pending an appeal to a higher court he
is now out on bail. Mr. Fitzgerald has
information showing that Marshall really
had been engaged to run a saloon for
Routh on Third street License Inspector
McEachern allowed the saloon to run.
thinking that the City Council would
grant Marshall a license In a few days.
But Councilman Flegel happened to be'
passing Just then, and he demanded why
the place was allowed to be open for
business. In the Investigation that fol
lowed. Mr. Fitzgerald discovered that
Routh was behind the scheme and the ar
rest followed.

TOTEST FIREMEN'S NERVE
MUST CLIMB DIZZT LADDERS AMI
RUX SPEEDY DASH.
Chief Campbell Will Head His Men
la, the Physical Examination
Under Civil Service.
Not-only must the firemen run SO yards
in 15 seconds as did the patrolmen, but
they must climb ladders' hand over hand,
carry a 90-pound weight up another lad
der, and Jump from the dizzy heights of
a second-story window Into a life-net
Chief Camnbetl Is tn lead the tiroees
slon which is to- take the athletic testa
nnder the Civil Service regulations. The
entire fire department except the engi
neers, will participate In the athletic
feats which will be held about May L
After a lengthy discussion as to mark
ing, relative merits of the different tests.
and so forth the Civil Service Commis
sion, at It meeting list evening, decided
that the firemen are to pass three of five
prescribed tests In crder to be eligible to
a place in the department The only part
of the examination upon which the com
mission Insists is that of carrying the
Babcock extinguisher to & second-story
window.
"If a man can't .carry a Babcock that
far he has no business being In the de
partment" said Chief Campbell. The
members ot the Commission relied upon
the Chiefs word for this and according
ly made this test an absolute one.
The physical feats are as follows: car
rying a Babcock extinguisher, weighing
90, pounds, to a second-story window, 30
feet from the ground: ascending and de
scending the aerial' ladder run up to TO
feet: Jumping Into a life-net from a second-story
window: climbing five rungs
of a ladder hand over hand, up and down;
running SO yard In IS seconds.
The Babcock test was made compul
sory because it is something which,
every fireman may be called upon to do
at a moment's notice. When a small
fire is discovered in the upper floors of
a building, the Chief calls to the men
below to bring up the Babcock extinguish
er, and in many cases this can only be
done by. climbing a ladder. The extin
tlngulsher. which Is strapped to the back
of the carrier, is a bulky Instrument
weighing 90 pounds.
The nerve test is that ot the aerial
ladder. This is a part of the mecha
nism of a hook and ladder truck and is
operated from a turntable tn the bed of
the vehicle. Though supposed to be en
tirely safe, it is a somewhat hair-raising
performance for a greenhorn to feel
the ladder sway under him when at a
height ot TO feet The men of the depart
ment are seldom called upon to make
this climb and the test was placed upon
the list simply to try the "nerve of the
applicants.
"I think more men will fall on this
test than on any other," said Chief Camp-
belt "When a man Is TO feet up In
the air and feels that ladder rocking and
swaying under him, he will lose his nerve
if he ever will in any position. It is at
the top where the rub comes, for it's
a mighty ticklish matter to get over
the top and start down the other side.
As to-the other tests. I think that al
most every man now In the department
can pass them.
Much latitude Is allowed by the teats
as given by the Commission. It was the
original Intention to allow so many cred
its for each of the tests, placing that
of carrying the Babcock extinguisher at
SO. As it was difficult to arrange the
other marks so that an applicant might
tail on the aerial ladder and still pass,
the whole marking system was aban
doned. Instead the applicant must take
the Babcock test and any two of the other
lour.
"We don't want to shut out any man
because be cannot climb five rungs of a
ladder band over hand, or another man
because he cannot run 80 yards In IS
seconds." was the chorus heard at the
meeting.
"And gentlemen." said the Chief, "if
you make the test too hard the boys will
say that they are required todo a lot
more than the patrolmen. I understand,
of course, that a fireman should be more
of an athlete than a policeman."
Part of the test will probably be held
in the gymnasium of the Multnomah
Club. When It will take place Is a matter
as yet undecided.
"Near the first of May, but perhaps in
Aprlt" said P. L. Willis.
Chief Campbell will be the first man
to go over the ladders and through the
entire test "The men can't refuse to
try them If they see me go first" said
the Chief. The Commission appointed
Mr. Campbell the chief examiner of the
occasion. He asked that at least one
member of the Commission be present to
Judge of his performance.
The Chief did not think that the speed
test would trouble the flre-laddles to
any extent "Why. of course, they can
do It; the. Mayor said he would be will-
lng to bet he could do it himself." said
be. As Mayor Williams was not pres
ent to contradict this statement of bis
speed It remained unquestioned.
The Commission wishes any one who
has positive evidence as to the Immoral
character of any man In 'either the fire
or police departments to come before the
Commission and give It openly, or to for
ever hold his peace.
"People meet us privately and tell us of
horrible things which policemen and
firemen have done., but when It comes to
making a sworn statement It is another
thing." said C W. Hodson. "Why. a man
sat In that chair the other day and told
me of all kinds of crimes being com
mitted Dy memoers of the departments.
I tried to get the names ot those he
indirectly accused but then he backed out
If. however, the men whom, he thinks,
are guilty get places under the Commis
sion, he will tell every one what a lot of
corrupt men we have in the city's em
ploy. When charges are brought against
a man he will be given a chance to
make a statement in regard to them. We
are also going after those who endorse
the application of men of whom ther
probably already know very little. In
one or two cases applicants have al
ready got "Into trouble and we will aslr-
tnelr vouchers to come before us and tell
why they swore to the moral character
of such men."
TURNED THE TABLES.
Man Who Accused a Woman of As

Mrs. L. D. Reed, of Ninth street near
Couch street has come off with, flying

Hewitt sells butter and eggs, and he called
