Democrats Want One of Their
Own Put In as Chief
of Police.
MAYOR LANE MAY ACT NOW
New Civil Service Kules Make It
Possible for City's Chief Exccu
; the to Build lip
His Machine.
Democrats arc asking each other who
Is to be the new head of the Police De
partment, now that the time has come
for Jlayor Lane to redeem his pledge of
appointing a new post-Exposition Chief.
The Democratic brethren aremuch exer
cised, over the matter, and a belligerent
bunch is clamoring for the scalp of Gritz
macher, acting Chief, and for the ap
pointment of a dyed-in-he-wool Demo
crat, who will aid the -unlerrllled "hosts
In the next June election, when Governor
Chamberlain and Sheriff Word will como
up for re-election.
Want Change Made.
When Grltzmacher accepted the Chief
tainship last July, it was understood that
he would head the bluecoats only tempo
rarily, or until Mayor Lane could find
another man, or until after - the Fair.
Gritzmaoher was a captain of police, and
though by reputation a Democrat, is
branded by cast-iron patriots of the Dem
ocratic brood as being a brother who
trims his faith to fit the style of politics
that sits in the Mayor's chair. Demo
cratic or Republican, for they say he has
dabbled In the wars between tse Repub
lican factions and has held omce uncer
Republicans by his success at that game.
They cite that Mayor Pennoyer. the last
Democratic city executive before Lane,
threw him out for being the kind of Dem
ocrat of which they now complain.
Desire Rock-TClbbcd Democrat.
Anyhow, all Is not milk and honey for
Grltzmacher in the Democratic camp, for
the braves who are fighting Sheriff
Word's and Mayor Lane's system of ad
mitting Republicans Into Democratic of
fices, have gone on the warpath against
Gritzmacner and arc clamoring for the
selection of a rock-ribbed Democrat, the
kind that will help the Democratic hosts
in the election wars next Spring. Gov
ernor Chamberlain is much concerned in
the matter, and his friends have been
trotting to the City Hall to "see" His
Honor about It;, likewise friends of Sheriff
Word, who also aspires to re-election. It
Is reported In political circles that Mayor
Lane and Governor Chamberlain have had
frcquont conferences lately, and that the
latter has proposed division of patronage
between them, in the Interest of Demo
cratic politics next year, but that Mayor
Lane has "kicked like a steer."
May Be Given Lower Hank.
It is not unlikely that Grltzmacher
would be cast Into outerdarknoss, should
his scalp be lifted. Mayor Lane might
place him In a job like that of' captain
of detectives. Each member of the de
tective force draws $115 a month, but the
City Council might be induced to provide
a higher salary for captain; at least, such
is the hope of the Democratic board of
strategy. Should he take the Job which
he vacated to become Chief at $200 a
month, he would receive but $90 a month,
the salary of a captain of police.
The petition for Grltzmacher's retention
as Chief, from the patrolmen, was not
signed with good grace by all the men
who put their names to it: Several of
them have said that they signed, not be
cause they agreed with the sontlment of
the petition, but that they could not af
ford to have the absence of their names
noted by the Chief, Inasmuch as In the
end It might cost them their jobs or stand
In the way of their promotion. The peti
tion Is understood to have been gotten up
by Archie Leonard, now stenographer in
the City Jail, and by Qulnlan, a patrol
man, now acting as captain of police.
Leonard would like to be captain of the
detective force, and Grltzmacher, who
thinks highly of him, has said he would
fill that posiU6n well. Qulnlan would like
to retain the captaincy which he now
holds temporarily.
May Build Up 3Iuchine.
Under the recont rulings of the
Civil Service Commission the Chief
has power to promote and ' reduce In
the police ranks as he sees fit. He
can promote a patrolman to detective
or reduce a detective to patrolman.
Any person outside the police force
can take an examination for patrol
man or captain of police, but he must
be a member of the department to be
come a detective
All this is fraught -with a meaning
to the gentlemen who are waiting their
turn at the pie-counter, for. under the
foregoing rules, momentous changes
are possible in the personnel of the
detective force. The new rulings make
It possible -for the Chief of Police to
degrade all the detectives now on the
force and to supplant them with full
fledged Democrats, who will help the
upbuilding of the Democratic power in
the city and state. They make it pos.
sible for the .Mayor to have the men
on the detective force who opposed
his election, reduced to the rank of
uniformed patrolmen, and this seems
likely to be the next move of the
Mayor.
Detectives Carpenter, "Vaughn, Day
and Reslng. are believed to be booked
for retirement to humble stations;
perhaps also Kerrigan and Snow. This
would cut the salaries of the present
detectives from $115 to $80 a month.
The word is going the 'rounds that Joe
Day. whose profanity is objectionable
In the Police Station, may be made
night Jailer at $80 a month, In which
job his rhetorical explosions .would be
offenslveto a lesser number of citi
zens. Speculations as to New Chief.
All this Is interesting enough Inside
the police force, but outside the main
concern centers inthe Chieftainship.
Dave Houston is making a strong
fight for the appointment. Dave Is a
railroad conductor on the Southern
Pacific, between Portland and Rose
burg, and Is accounted a staunch Dem
ocrat from hide to spinal marrow.
Dave seemed to be in a fair way to
land the job last July, and now is in
the game bigger than ever before. But
there are other patriots who would like
a slice of pie too. such as John La
inont, whom the Mayor, prompted by
the "MunicipaJ Association already has
turned down;- M. J. -Clohessy, who was
Chief, under Pennoyer J. B. Ryan, secretary-
of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee, and Joe Rellly. detect
ive in the service of the OR. & N.;
James Budd. to whom the Mayor offer
ed the chieftainship last Summer, but
tt-bn declined the place, is supposed to
GRANGERS OFFER THEIR AID
They Are Interested in Getting Deep
Ship Channel to the Sea.
By direction of the committee appointed
by Evening Star Grange. No. 27, Patrons
of Husbandry, to ascertain if the farmers
order can assist in securing Government
aid in deepening the ship channel from
Portland to the sea. B. Lee Paget has ad
dressed letters to both the Board of Trade
and Chamber of Commerce. This com
mittee met Saturday, and. after discuss
ing the situation, decided first to find
out if the Patrons of Husbandry could
render these commercial bodies any as
sistance in this direction. By telephoning j
extensively it was ascertain from Captain i
Buchanan, chairman of the committee on
deep ship channel, that the- action taken
by Ex-enlng Star Grange anticipated the
effort that was contemplated to get the
support of the Patrons of Husbandry and
similar organizations In this state. How
ever, as members of these, commercial j
bodies were cither at the Exposition or '
absent Saturday, no definite Information
as to a plan of action could be secured.
Mr. Paget was authorized by the commit- j
tee today before the Board of Trade and
the Chamber of Commerce to offer to ',
secure the indorsement of the Patrons in ,
this state and iri Washington to the effort .
to secure Government assistance In deep- ,
enlng the ship channel, and these com- i
munlcatlons Mr. Paget has already sent, i
The, Patrons have something over 5000
members In Oregon, and about the same
number in Washington. It was the opin
ion of the committee that the Patrons of
Oregon practically as a whole would sup
port the movement for Government aid.
J. J. Johnson, chairman of the commit
tee and master of Evening Star Grange.
said, at the committee meeting: "Everyj-
ington. Is interested in getting a perma
nent deep river channel from Portland to
the sea. Farmers are interested for the
reason that such a channel will make
Portland a better harbor and market for
their products. I am sure that they stand
ready to do what they can In that direc
tion, and we arc ready to tnke up the
matter as soon as the commercial bodies
give us the word."
BURGLARS STEAL JEWELRY
Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Smith Return
Home' to Pind Valuables Uone.
While absent from their residence at 326
Halsey street, ' Saturday night, robbers
stole Jewels from Mrs. S. B. Martin and
Mrs. W. G. Smith, valued highly as heu
looms and for their Intrinsic worth. En
trance was gained to the residence
through the front door, by means of a
skeleton key. The articles, which were
taken from the sleeping-room of Mn.
Martin consisted of two gold watches.
Mrs. W. G. Smith, who lives with Mrs.
Martin, had a watch stolon, a large star
garnet ring, a garnet bracelet, an emerala
ring, a sapphire ring, a gold ring wltn
moonstone and ruby settings, and an old
fashioned necklace. Besides these, numer
ous small trinkets of small value were
stolen.
The room was rifled for anything of
value and the bureau drawers were turned
upside down. Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Smith
were absent for several hours, giving the
robbers plenty of time in which to ac
complish their wprk. An inspection of the
house showed that no windows or doors
had been broken by which the robbers
could have gained entrance, and as the
front door was barred by nothing but the
ordinary lock. It is supposed that en
trance was gained by means of a skeleton
key. Detective Hartmen hag been, as
signed to the case.
Watch for Oakland Elopers.
A close watch is being maintained by
Portland detectives for Henry Logan, a
married man. who eloped with Ethel Cook,
a 16-year-old girl , from Oakland. Cal.
Word was received yesterday that Logan
and the girl would probably head for
Portland.
Logan, who was a pillar of the First
Baptist Church of Oakland, has left a
young wife and a little boy that he might
elope with a high-school girl and a Sun
day school teacher much loved by her
companions. Logan, it is said, by hts
wiles and endearing words, succeeded Jn
enticing the maiden from her home, moth
er and church, with promises of marriage
and undying devotion. Mrs. Cook has
caused a warrant to be Issued for Logan
on a charge of kidnaping.
By members of his church Logan wfu
considered a model of propriety and was
pointed out by members of the congrega
tion as a most pious young man. He wa3
last seen in Oakland. October 11, boarding
one of the, northbound trains.
