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

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

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.

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

Freight Depot Situation.
George C. Flanders said that he had

was impossible, but that they went away
in another frame of mind. It was his
Judgment that the Harriman interests

managers would In the end deal fairly

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.

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. I do not know
what steps Captain Bruin has taken In
the matter, but of such wholesale re
ductions I know nothing."
Captain Bruin admitted yesterday
that changes In the department would
take place, but could not be found last
nlgbt to give out definitely what
changes he had planned.

tives In the deoartment would be re

duced to the ranks caused consterna
tion on the part of those affected, and
much bantering on the part of patrol
men who would In no way suffer by the
order.
Detectives stand on the ground that,
as they nave passed the civil service
examinations for detectives, there is
no power that can remove them without
Just cause. Specific allegations In every
case must be made, they eontend, and
direct charges must be preferred before
a reduction to the ranks can be or
dered. Notwithstanding the fact th.it
the Civil Service Commission recently
gave the Chief of Police power to re
duce and to promote such men as Lo
saw fit. 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.
Dissension In the department Tiaa
risen rapidly in the last few weeks. Tho
entire department Is upset and hard
feelings now exist where a few weeks
ago there was nothing more harmful
than idle gossip.
Wholesale reductions, patrolmen and
detectives hold, would not only demor
alise the police business of the city but
if a new set of men were to be sudden
ly put In the shoes of men who haa
held the positions for years further dis
sensions than those already existing
would multiply. Polities, the detectives
say, is back of the whole business.
