THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1905. PROMISE MD FOR THE JETTY Senator Ankeny and Repre sentative Jones Give -Assurance of Assistance. DEEP WATERWAY NEEDED Washington and Idaho Arc as Much. Concerned as Is Oregon in. Improvements for "thq Columbia 'iRlver. . Every day'ftrlngs-added hope-oC'the suc cessful .conclusion ofthe strenuous efCorjts which are now being 'exerted, agd .which, arc to be. exerted In still greater degree, cn behalf of Congressional appropriations for the improvement of the -Columbia Riv er and thc channel to'llie sea. Never be fore In the, long struggle for a deeper wa terway down the Columbia to the Pacific has there been such united effort and such a spirit of deep determination as at pres ent. The fight Which is to be waged for appropriations at the coming session of CongrcsSjsWill have behind it not only the people oflPortland and of Oregon; it will be backed by the members of Congress and the citizens of Washington and .Idaho. The three states are banded together, llrmfy resolved that the urgent-call -for a deeper channel must be answered, and answered now. Assurance of Support. Assurance of the hearty support of the Washington Congressional delegation was given by Senator Levi Ankeny and Repre sentative W. L. Jones, of that state, yes terday afternoon, during their conference with the trustees and members of tho transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce. The meeting was of an en tirely Informal character, and discussion showed', above all else, that the people of Washington regard the improvement of the Columbia River and bar as of vital Importance to their state, as well as to Oregon. 'Yoa must not forget that the Columbia River is half ours," said Senator Ankeny, and we are as much interested in its im provement as the people of Oregon. We not only wish to see the upper river im proved, but we are anxious for the wdrk to go on at the mouth, so that the jetty work already done will not be wasted. -It Is not an Oregon proposition alone. It Is a family matter, and Oregon, Washington and Idaho are the members of the family. '"As l well known, the main shipments from Washington are lumber and grain. These, to yield profit, must be sent In large vessels, and so we are vitally inter ested In the deepening of the channel." Promise of Aid. Mr. Jones spoke In similar vein on this phase of the matter, and assured those present that the remaining members of the Washington delegation would also work heart and soul with the people of Oregon in this matter. Mr. Jones is a member of the rivers and harbors com mittee of the House, and was responsible, more than any other man for' gaining the appropriation fdr the Celllo canal. He will, doubtless, be a strong force in secur ing the passage of an appropriation bill which comes up for consideration In the Hoiise. Mr- Jones, said that he believed that it could be positively stated that there would be no river and harbor bill at the coming session of Congress. The appropriation for the Columbia will have to go before Congress as a part of the sundry civil bill, or attached to some appropriation bill In the Senate. "No matter in- what way the subject comes up, it will require a great amount of work to secure the appropriation," said Senator Ankeny, "and I think that the people realize that fact. There is a move ment Just now to cut down expenses, and It will be necessary to convince the mem bers of Congress of the urgent need of this appropriation at this time." On a Different Basis. Both Senator Ankeny and Representa tive Jones are of the opinion that the situation at the mouth of the river puts that project on a different footing from other needed appropriations at this time. If only the mere delay were involved, it would probably be Impossiblo to secure any appropriation at this time, they said. The fact that tho work already done will be -wasted, and the jetty be of practically no service if the improvements are not continued now, is the greatest lever that the people of the Northwest have to se cure a special appropriation. The one point which must be made prominent and driven home to every member of Congress, they asserted, is that, if more money Is not available at this time, the $500,006 or more which have been spent will be prac tically thrown away. As to the Celllo project, it was stated that there was little doubt that its -speedy completion was a certainy. "The people of Oregon have certainly done their part towards building the Celllo canal," said Mr. Jones, and this will be the strongest possible argument in securing the addi tional appropriations. The demonstration that the portage railroad is generally aiseB. will be another almost irresistible argu ment." Pleased AVith the Aid. The expressions of the Washington Con gressmen were considered very favorable b those present, and it Is now assured that the work Tor a deeper river will re ceive their undivided support. Senator Fulton was to have been present at the conference, but was prevented at the last minute from attending. Joseph N. Teal acted as chairman. Others present were: E. C. Giltner and M. Mosessohn, secretary and assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce; W. J. Burns, C. F. Adams, Henry Hahn, I A. Lewis, A. H. -Devers, J It. Meier, J. Couch Flanders, J. E. Laldlaw, George Taylor, P. I. Willis, rep resenting the Port of Portland Commis sion, and G. W. Allen, president of the Board of Trade. HURRYING THE TRACK WORK Portland Railway Building Its New Iiine to Vancouver Ferry. Aware of the possibility of weather less promising for railroad building as the sea son advances, the contractors and forces of the Portland Railway Company are concentrating a large number of men and teams on the portion of the new line to Vancouver Ferry that has to be graded. Beginning at Portland Boulevard, the line extends north from the end of Union ave nue, and Just beyond the junction where the new track leaves the present line the work is being hurried to completion. West of Woodlawn the route of the new line takes it across the garden tract in cluded In the Lewis Love -donation claim, where the right of way is too narrow to permit of grade as high as necessary to keep the track at the proper elevation, and in order not to extend beyond the right ot way with" tho grade the All is partly held by heavy bulkheadlng on cither side, at the right-of-way line. This Is an un usual and interesting bit of construction work. The track will rest on solid earth All until a point is reached toward the north side of the Lewis Loe land, whore the trestle begins which carries the track across the slough. In every respect construction of this lino is of tho best character of railroad track building, and It will be laid with heavy steel, to enable operation at high speed and with absolute safety. Contrac tors on the piling and trestle work aro getting material to the ground for prose cution of that portion of the work. CONGER ON THE BOYCOTT Former Minister Declares That It Will Not Last, "t do not look upon the Chinese boycott of American goods as a very serious matter and I think that if the Chinese government will stop the agitation the boycott will spmo to an end." Such Is the opinion of E. H. Conger, ex-Minlster to China, on the subject which is of vital' Importance and interest to the Pacific Coast states. Mr. Conger is a guest at the Hotel Portland on a pleasure trip through tho West. He Is accompanied by his wife and will remain In Portland until today. He arrived in Portland last night from Hood River, where he was the guest of E. L.' Smith, whom he used to know when a schoolboy. Mr. Conger Is thoroughly acquainted with the Chinese, having represented the United States at Pekin for more than seven years. Altogether he has been in the diplomatic service about 16 years. He was Minister to Brazil for two terms and was Ambassador to Mexico until about a month and a half ago. Mr. Con ger says that he has been away from the United States long enough and that !from now on he Intends to remain In. this country- Xo Outward Signs Then. "When I left China about seven months ago there were no outward signs of the Chinese cherishing any animosity toward the Americans and the boycott was un heard of," said Mr. Conger at the Hotel Portland last night. "The Chinese, how ever, have always complained of their treatment, but they seemed to be friendly toward the Americans and our 'Govern ment. "The complaints were directed partly to the construction of the immigration law which excludes professional Chinese, which I do not think was the spirit of the law when enacted. Everybody knows that the Chinese have "been mistreated by our officials. Heretofore all Chinese have been treated with the presumption that they were coolies and all classes suffered a great deal of annoyance and experienced many Indignities whether they deserved them or not. "If the officials had simply done what the President Instructed them to do about three months ago I do not think that there Would have been any boycott of American goods. It has been reported that the Japanese were at the back of it, but nuoh a conclusion Is wholly without foundation. "The Chinese, as a race, are vory per sistent when once they have started any thing, but I think that the government will stop the agitation, and that will be the last of it. The Chinese ofliclals are intelligent enough to know that such a course will not. result in anything that will be to their benefit. It Is true that the officials have strongly protested against the treatment they have received, but I do not believe that they are In sym pathy with this movement. "In my opinion, the immigration lav should "be modified so that under restric tions some of the coolies could come to this country, as we are In need of a cer tain number of them. I do not advocate that the doors shoulde thrown open, aH the coolies would pouf in by the thousands and before iong the country Would bo flooded with them. The Chinese are very anxious to come here, as they know of the opportunities. Too many of them, however, would be a menace to the labor ing men. Would Construe Law Differently. "As it now stands, we could do ourselves a great deal of good by placing a different construction on the laws and executing them so that the Chinese who are privi leged to come would receive more cour teous treatment. I do not think that it will be a difficult matter to ovorcome the effects of the boycott. Our Government thoroughly understands the situation. When I saw President Roosevelt, several months ago, he did not seem alarmed over the boycott. "It Is probable that in his message to Congress the President will disclose still further facts about the Chineso boycott of American goods, and that he will rec ommend such legislation as he thinks the situation warrants. In an answer to a question, Mr. Conger said that the Consular Service in the Orient was very efficient, and that very little fault could be found with it. He said that some years ago, when the Ap pellate Court In this country was organ ized, through some oversight the right of appeal from the Consular courts to the Circuit Court in this country was de stroyed, and that he thought that this feature of the system should be amended. With tho restoration of the right to ap peal, Mr. Conger said he did not sec how any complaint could be made. EXPOSITION SALE TO END .A surprisingly largo number of fine pianos, pianola pianos, pianolas and organs have been sold by Eilors Piano House during tho past couple of weeks, and the great Exposition aalo Is rap idly drawing to a close. There are still left for sal several vers choice styles of the most costly of Chlckprlngs, also two very fancy up right Kimballs. three Webers, one vory fine Haddorf. two beautiful Schumanns, and" one pianola piano, together with several pianolas, and less than a' half dozen "second-hand" pianos of various makes. If you ever hope to own a really choice piano, an instrument that has been selected by sorao connolssuor or high-class artist, specially for Fome prominent feature of the musical work of our great Lewis and Clark Expo sition, and secure such a musical gem at a very substantial reduction In prico, you -will have to attend this sale with out delay. Payments have been made so thoroughly easy, too, that no one whose home is without a really fine piano need hesitate to secure one. "Money back," wo say. If the purchase, after delivery, is not in every way acceptable to you. What more can be done. If you're com ing, come this afternoon or evening1. Eilers Piano House, 351 Washington street. Heal tli Board's Session. At a special meeting of tho City Board of Health last night, it was resolved, to ask tho City Council today for an ap propriation granting authority for the purchase of a pair of scales for the pur pose of weighing the garbage at the cremators and also for a large va.t to be used in trying out the fat from dead ani mals. The idea of tho scales is to take the weights of the garbage consumed for a few days, in "order to make up the estimate of cost of running the institu tion, while it is claimed that quite a reve nue can be derived from the sale of tal low, bones and hides, together with other by-products of dead animals. Dr. Loveberry. of the Government Bu reau of Animal Industry, appeared before the board with a view of ascertaining the condition of the meat inspection ordi nance recently pasped upon in the State Circuit Court. The City Attorney was asked to. give an opinion defining the pres ent status of the ordinance. BUI NEW SITE FOR BIG WORKS Most Complete Boiler, Iron and Steel Plant on Pacific Coast. BIG WATER-FRONT TRACT Willamette Boiler and .Willamette Iron and Steel Works Plan Extensive Improvements Jn "North Portland. Portland is lo have the most complete and modern boiler. Iron and steel works on the Pacific Coast The Willamette Boiler Works and the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, affiliated companies, have Just completed the purchase of. a large tract of water-front property In the very heart of- the manufacturing district of North Portland upon which will be In stalled Immediately wharves and thor oughly up-to-date bollor works. Ultimate ly the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, now locatedat the foot of Third street at the west end of the steel bridge will be moved to the new site where It will be housed in larger quarters than the present and tho most Improved equipment added. The entire enterprise will Involve the expenditure of a vast amount of money and is of greatest Importance to industrial Portland. Buys Old Government Mooring. The announcement of this purchase and the concentration of the Willamette Boiler Works with, its parent company, the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, fol lows closely upon the sale of the plant of the former concern at tho foot of Davis street to an unknown buyer, pre sumably the Harriman interests. That deal was carried through by C. K. Henry, who Is also connected with the present transaction. The site purchased Is at the old Government mooring grounds and will give the new owners 300 feet of river frontage. The tract extends .baok from the Willamette about SCO feet, making a total area of more than five blocks. The boiler works and wharves will be hurried to completion as rapidly as possible and it Is expected that the construction of the Iron and steel works will follow imme diately. It is rumored that the sale of the present site at the foot of Third street is now practically completed, al though W. H. Corbett refused to confirm this report last night. The main building of the boiler works will be approximately lOOxXO feet, and the total space will be taken up with the most modern machinery for the Handling of heavy plate steel work. In order to handle work In process, as well as com. ploted boilers, in the must economical manner, the 10-ton electric crane which has been operated In Machinery Hall at the Lewis', and Clark Exposition will be Installed, Its opera t! Jig bay being cross traversed by the 20-ton electric crane which Js In use In tho present Willamette Boiler Works. Central Power Station. Particular attention will be paid to tho installation of a central power station, which will be located In a fireproof build ing and will be laid out with a view to take care of the ultimate power require ments of the consolidated concern. In ad dition to the electric generating plant, from which power will be distributed to the various shops, there will be central compressed air and hydraulic plants and a most complete flre-scrvice system, the underwriters' pumps and distributing sys te being amply protected from possibility of any accident. One of the most iportant features of the entire plant will be a wharf system con structed along lines that are entirely an innovation in this locality. The wharves will be arranged at right angles to the river, protruding out into the water in a manner which is much In favor at East ern ports. In this way the 300-foot water front will afford a very long wharf line which will be sufficient to answer all the requirements of the combined boiler. Iron and steel works. The plant will have one slip of sufficient length to secure a berth for a 500-foot ship. Another and smaller slip will be constructed to answer the or dinary requirements. The material se cured by dredging out for these slips will bo used to form a solid foundation for the plant, thus minimizing the fire risk to the greatest possible extent. Machinery Tor Wharves. Tho economical handling of ship work will be one of the special objects of the new plant. The wharf will be provided with 50-ton shear-legs. DO and 10-ton stiff leg derricks, and ultimately equipped with a traveling gantry of great power and speed, arranged to provide powerful lift ing facilities over any part of a ship moored in the long slip. In conjunction with the facilities of the plant Itself, recognition Is made of the demand for some economical handling of work at tho commodious drydock of the Port of Portland, and to this end a spe cial derrick scow with a complete repair equlpcnt, including a compressed-air plant and other details, will be operated. Ultimately the portion ot the tract pur chased, which lies between Front street and the Northern Pacific Railroad, will be entirely occupied by new brick shops. In suring for the City of Portland as com plete and modern an engineering plant as any on the Pacific Coast. The price paid for the new location and its exact location could not bo ascertained from Mr. Corbett last evening. The dis trict In which It Js situated, however, is one of the most desirable locations along the water front, being In the very center of the manufacturing interests of the city. Few more important Indus trial enterprises have ever been started In the Northwest. Mr. Corbett announces definltly that work upon the new enterprise will begin imme diately. IN MUNICIPAL COURT. Judge Cameron Says Perjury Is Frequent. Municipal Judge Cameron declared from the bench, yesterday morning, that alto gether too much perjury was committed in his court, and suggested strongly that the District Attorney's office should take up and thoroughly Investigate the testi mony of G. Rlnesteln. given In the case of the state aganst Frank Glide charged with threatening to kill. This matter was heard before His Honor, and, although Rlnesteln swore that he was present when the trouble occurred, many witnesses who were there said they did not see him. "I am tired of seeing witnesses take the oath, and then sit on the stand and He." said Judge Cameron. "Only last week we had a hoy from Alblna here, who swore to one thing, and, then, after being placed In- jail for a time, came back and admitted he had perjured himself. This ought not to be. and I think this case today should be taken up and thoroughly Investigated by tho District Attorney." Deputy District Attorney Haney. who was handling the case, made no reply. Gllck, the defendant in the cae, was ac cused of threatening to kill Mrs. Florence Griffith, residing at 233 Mead street, be cause her little son struck his wife with a football that was filled with water. He was discharged. James Gilbert, who charged Beatrico Russell with tho robbery of $21 from him in a North End resort, was permitted by the District Attorney's office to go with out ball, and he failed to appear to pros ecute. 'She was released. Herman Hcrbus. arrested yesterday morning for abusing his wife and children while drunk, was given the option of quit ting strong drink or going to jail for SO days. He swore ho would never drink again, and pleaded with his wife to for give him. There are six children, and the mother, while on the stand, told the court officials that she had but 23 cents to her name. It was learned that Herbua had $15 on his person when arrested, and this was taken from him and turned over to his wife. After promising the court ho would henceforth work and support his family, Herbus was permitted to go home with his wife and little daughter. O. C Potts, keeper of the Brunswick sa loon, was fined $15 for assaulting and beat ing J. W. Wilson. Potts had up bail at the Monday session of court, which was forfeited because he did not answer when Clerk Hennessey called his name. After the prosecuting witness left tho court room. Potts and "Bob" Patterson, who was acting for the defendant, said they did not hear the call, and asked to have the matter taken up again. This was done, with the results as stated. H. Miller, charged with cruelly beating a horse, was acquitted, after the state had produced a lone witness to swear that, tho defendant deliberately attacked the ani mal while driving at Falling street and Union avenue, and tho defense produced two witnesses who swore Just the oppo site. Deputy .District Attorney Haney recom mended mercy in the caso of H. C Burns, an O. R. & N. brake man -who stole a mir ror from a car. and Judge Cameron Im posed a fine of $25. Clemency was extend ed because the prisoner has a family liv ing living at Peninsular, and they need his help. A -jury In tho cases of James Randall and William Gibson, charged with setting up and maintaining a disorderly house, brought In a verdict of guilty late yester day afternoon. Sentence will be passed later. AGTiyiTY ON EAST 51 IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION" ASKS BETTERMENTS. Ynrloaft Projects Arc Dlncunned for the Welfare of That Part of the City. Nearly 100 business mon and property owners crowded Into the East Side court room last night, at the meeting of the East Side Improvement Association. Greater interest and enthusiasm were dis played in the work that has been cut out than ever before. W. L. Boise presided, and commented on the enthusiasm displayed In what had been undertaken. G. C Flan ders and Mr. Boise reported progress In the matter of fills, and gave the details of the action taken to get the Port of Portland to dredge the river and fill the streets and low grounds with the debris. President Boise congratulated the associa tion on the progress made, and said It was In a highly satisfactory situation, and was In the hands of working committees. In order to facilitate the work, the chair man was authorized lo appoint a special committee of two for each street to be filled. The duty or these sovenil commit tees Is to interview each property-owner and get his consent to have the street filled under the proposed arrangement with the Port ot Portland. Already maps have been made of the street. In the low grounds, and now the work will be to get the property-ownora to consent to pay for tho filling of the streets by the dredger. This will supplement and assist tho reg ular committees which have the matter in hand. Mr. Boise said that the outlook for the fills was most encouraging. Parks for the East Side. F. Perkins, of the Mount Tabor Asso ciation, brought up the question of buying Bi acres on the top of Mount Tabor for a public park. He said that the water com mittee must have a site for a reservoir that would hold at least 2.000.000 gallons of water, and the city needed another nark on the East Side. He argued very strongly for the purchase of the top of Mount Tabor, which he said could be had for JOO.OCOl Councilman A. G. Ru3hllght spoko strongly for the purchase of Hawthorne Park, and against the purchase of the Forestry Building on tho Lewis and Clark Fair grounds. He safd he considered It poor Judgment to purchase the Forestry building. "The two acres on which It stands will cost JH.0CD." said Mr. Rushlight, "but that will be the beginning of the expense ac count. There will have to bo a new roof and a new foundation, which will take at least yX.0. Then there must be a heating plant and a new floor. After all this ex pense, a keeper must be omployed at a salary of from $S0 to $1(0 a month. It Is my Judgment that all this money should be used In the purchase of a pormanont park. Besides, the building Is not situated where It will be visited by tourists. Wo need the money for parks, and I am in favor of uslns this money for parks on the East Side, where there are now no public parks." Favors Hawthorne Park. George C. Flanders approved of Mr. Rushlight's position on the park question, and said he was opposed to the purchase of the Forestry building. "It was a great mlFtake." he said, "that the offer to buy tho Forestry building for Coney Island was not accepted. Located there. It would have attracted world-wide attention. Wo need the money with which to purchase a park on the East Side, where there are none, and where there are now more than 50.000 inhabitants." W. B. Chase said he had always favored the purchase of Hawthorne Park, and declared it folly and waste of park money to purchase the Forestry building. "We are used to seeing big trees out here, said Mr. Chase, "and don't care much for them. We need the park. The Forestry building should be sold." Joseph Buchtel gave the number of parks on the West Side, and said the East Side was entitled to one. The matter was referred to the committee on parks, of which Mr. Rushlight Is chairman. ota'kllSTyuyN etaoln shrdlu cmfwyp mb Thomas HIslop said that Hawthorne Park should be purchased, and that tho Oregon Historical Society should be pro vided with a homo in the building. High Insurance Bates. In the matter of reducing Insurance rates on the water front, O. M. Scott, chairman of the committee On fire pro tection, spoko strongly for effective ac tion. He said that the rates had been and continued to be almost prohibitive. "When we got a water main on East First street." said Mr. Scott, "we were assured that our rates would bo reduced, but this was not done. We were again promised that If tho people of Portland would get a flreboat the rates would bo reduced, but the flro companies have not reduced the rates because of the flreboat. but have appropriated the benefit of the. LITTLE BOY ONE WIASSOFSORES Not One Square Inch of Skin on His Whole Body Unaffected Awful Suffering from Raw Itching Humor Screams Were Heart breakingSkin Peeled 20 Times, WONDERFUL CURE BY CUTICURA REMEDIES "My little son, a boy of five, broke out with an itching rash. Three doc tors prescribed for him, but he kept getting worse until we could not dres3 him any more. They finally advised me to try a certain medical College, but its treatment did no good. At the time I was induced to try Outicura he was so bad that I had to cut his hair of! and put the Cuti crura. Ointment on him on bandages, as it was impos sible to touch him with thebare hand. There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. He was one mass of sores. The band ages used to stick to his skin and in removing them it used to take the skin off with them, and the screams from the poor child were heart-breaking. I began to think that he would never get well, but after the second application of Cuticura Ointment I began to see signs of improvement, and with the third and fourth applications the sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty times, but it finally yielded to the treatment. Now I can say that he is entirely cured, and a stronger and healthier boy you never saw than he is to-day.

This committee will also take up the matter of better police protection for the water front, where a special watchman has been employed for tho business houses. Freight Depot Situation. George C. Flanders said that he had hoped that the Southern Pacific would establish the freight depot, as had been askod for the warehouses and other busi ness houses. . Mr. Flanders said that he bad a visit from two railway men during the week, who stayed with him 45 minutes. trying to convince him that such a depot was impossible, but that they went away in another frame of mind. It was his Judgment that the Harriman interests would require the depot, and that the managers would In the end deal fairly with the people of the East Side. They had agreed to give the passenger dopot and were making arrangements to estab lish It, and he felt confident they would also grant the freight depot. Overcrowtllnjr of Curs. Dr. A. AV. Moore reported progress In the matter ef crowding of street-cars. Councilman Rushlight said he was with the committee which visited the managers of the street-car companies. He explained his plan to afford relief. He said that he bad consulted with City Attorney JIc- Nary ami other attorneys relative to legal relief. He thought an ordinance might be drawn up which would make it a mis demeanor for a car conductor to collect fare from a passenger who was not pro vlded with a seat. Councilman Rushlight admitted that It might not be feasible, but he was looking into the matter. Coun cilman Kollaher also said he had the mat ter under consideration, and that some thing would be done. Theater and Department Store. An effort will be made to set a theater and department storo for the East Side. W. I. Boise, who represents tne .Haw thorne estate, said he would guaranty Inn it lAAjte. free of charce of sufficient land for the theater. The department storo movement will do taken up later. Dr. S. E. Josephl called attention to the onmiltlnn of streets where cut had been made and earth constantly fell on tho sldowalks. causing public Inconvenience. Councilman Kollaher. who was present, mrroed to look after these daces. C. W. Nottingham called attention to th initiative of the S3 charsre made bust ness houses for switching O. R. & N. nr on the Southern Pacific lines in tne city. He said that the chargo wag not Just and should be cut out. Tne suDject was continued until the next meeting oc the association. For Selling Tobacco to Minors. r v Haneean. a storekeeper at Sell wood, was tried and convicted In Judge Frazer'H court yesterday or selling to bacco to Clarence Hoard, a boy 16 years eld. He was fined $25 and costs, amount ing to a total of nearly $30. On Sat urday last B. S. Pague appeared, in court representing Hanegan, and said while his client was not guilty he was willing to plead guilty to save the trouble of a trial. Deputy District Attorney Gallo way objected, saying he did not want to railroad anybody, and If Hanegan was not guilty he ought to stand trial and establish his Innocence. His case was set for trial and several boys testified yesterday afternoon to having bought to bacco In Hanegan's store.

Seveatii aad Washington European Plan DETECTIVES WILL FIGHT WILTj not consent to be de duced TO THE ItANKS. Declare Tliat Such Change Cannot Be 3raile Unless Churges Are Preferred. Before a detective of the Portland Police Department will consent to be reduced to the ranks, .or degraded In any manner, a fight will ensue In the courts. Although unwilling, personally, to express an opinion on the legality of a reduction each detective Is known to .hold that -without charges being pre ferred against hlra no reduction can take place. That important changes are slated to take place In the detective de partment Is known, but to what extent such changes will take place nothing definite has been given out. It was said yesterday that all detec tives with the exception of Day, Hart man and Welch would be reduced to patrolmen. The detectives such a deg radation would affect are Vaughn, Snow. Kerrigan. Carpenter and Hosing. Chief of Police Grltzmacher, whom It is necessary to consult on all questions affecting tho vital worklgns of the de partment, said last night that If such reductions as mentioned were to take place he knew nothing about them. "I doubt whether such reductions could be made." said the chief. "As far as I know nothing definite has been decided about any reductions. It was said that several consultations had been held with reference to this point. But that is not true.

It Is generally understood among detectives and patrolmen of tno department that no such reduction or promotion would take place In the faco of civil service examinations which had been held to determine the qualifica tions of aspirants.
