edy is appropriate and available for tho vio
lation of the charter found to have been com
mitted by the Civil Service Commission as
.shown by the findings of raid committee, the
pertinent and essential parts of which find
ings arc in brief a follows:
Itccitcs Committee's Findings.
Patriok Bruin came to the City of Port
land In tho month of December. 1808, and re
mained therein until the month of August,
IMtO. when he went to Grand Rapids. Mich.,
whore he enlisted in a regiment of United
States Volunteers, and In November of the
fume year accompanied said regiment to the
Philippine Jfiland, and there remained con
tinuously until the month of .Tune. 1IK3, n
jMirt qf said time in the United States Volun
teer Service, port of the time as member of
the police department of the City of Manila,
and the remainder thereof as an officer of na
tive troops in the Philippine Constabulary.
In sold month of June. 1005, he left the
Philippine Islands on a five months furlough,
and arrived- in the City of Portland July "IS.
lsCI. continuing to draw his salary from
tlte United States Government until Novem
hei. i. 3905. Between the month of August,
If'Mi. and the month of October. 3005. he was
engaged In detective and secret service work
f'-r the Mayor of the City of Portland, and
uhllp so drawing a salary m an officer of the
Philippine Constabulary.
That In the month of December. 1803, at
I'hlrago. III., ho made a declaration of Inten
tion to become a citizen of the United States,
but did not apply for nor was he granted pa
pers of citizenship until October 24. ll05, on
which date the competitive examination was
held In which he participated as an applicant
for appointment to a place In the police de
jwrtment In the City of Portland.
Not Qualified by His Residence.
That he had not resided In the City of Port
land for three years next preceding his ap
pointment in conformity with section 29 of
the charter.
That he was not a registered voter of the
City of Portland at the time of his appoint
ment in conformity with section 128 of the
harter.
That the examination conducted by the Civil
Service Commission In which he participated.
was not an open, competitive examination in
conformity with section 30l of the charter.
That !ald examination was not conducted
under rule providing for promotions in the
classified civil service on the" basis of ascer
tained, merit and seniority in service, in con
formity with section 5J16 and other sections of
article ft of the charter.
That the want of eligibility on the part of
llruln was known to the Civil Service Com
mission at the time of the examination In
which he participated:
That he was not qualified to-partlclpato In
an examination which wao and should, have
been he3d for persons who were already in
the classified civil service; that the rules of
the Civil Service Commission were changed
ior the purpose of making Bruin a qualified
applicant and that he was recommended for
appointment by the Commission over other
persons who successfully passed the examina
tion for appointment to the position of Cap
tain of Police, and who were both legally and
In fact qualified for such appointment.
Can JTlnd Xo Penalty.
In compliance with tho request of the Coun
cil, I have to Inform you that I have carefully
examined all the provisions of the charter -of
the City of Portland- bearing upon the ques
tion referred to In the report of the special
committee, and tho duties and requirements
of the Civil Sen-ice Commission, out havo
been unable to find any penalty prescribed for
violation of the charter provisions relative to
the examination and certifying of applicants
for positions in the classified civil service by
raid commission.
The "remedy appropriate and available to se
cure the removal of a person appointed to the
classified civil service who Is not eligible tin
der the provisions of the charter would be &
quo warranto proceedings, in which proceed
ing either a person successfully passing the
examination for the position held by the In
eligible appointee, or a citizen and taxpayer
of the City of Portland, may be the relator.
Awaiting your further direction, I am, re
spectfully. Tj. A. "M'NART.
City Attorney.
"Is . there any statement you wish to
make 'regarding City Atorney McNary
opinion, as delivered to the Council?"
was asked of Captain Bruin last night.
"Not a thins," replied Captain Bruin.
Patrolman Oscar F. Isakson has a suit
pending In the Circuit Court to oust Cap
tain Bruin. A great deal of Interest is
taken In the case by policemen, hut Bruin
seems not to be very badly frightened.
At the time of the investigation by the
special Council committee, evidence ad
duced from many witnesses showed
strongly that Mayor Lane, the Civil Serv
ice Commissioners and others twisted tho
charter all out of shape and wiped out
all of the old rules for the benefit of
Bruin.
ACTORS 0R PREACHERS
Prison Canvass Being Made to Show
Up Both Professions.
Cleveland Corr. New York World.
A poll has been made of the stato
prisons of the United States to determine
whether they contain more actors than
clergymen, or The reverse. The result is
as yet not definite, alnce there is some un
certainty concerning the right of some of
the incarcerated persons to be' regarded
either as of the stage or of the pulpit.
Upon the -face of the returns, Henry E.
DIxey will, apparently, not be compolled
to pay tho $1000 he has promisod to give
to charity if it were proved that there
were more actors than clergymen In
prison. Nevertheless, the polls indicate
that ho will have to make good the $1V)
lie pledged himself to pay If there could
be found any state prison that did not
liavo at least on minister in custody.
Mr. DIxey was moved to nwke this
novel offer by Indignation on account of
the action of the Pittsburg V. M. I. A- in
Icciining to receive an actor Into its mem
bership merely -upon the ground tlwt he
was an actor. The comedian, in offering
to give hJs money away, defended his pro;
feseloii. calling attention to tho manner
In which the stage lightens the cares of
life, educates the public. Is always flrst In
charity; -to the high character and repute
of so many of the stage folk, and to tho
fact that actor Ik no synonym for sinner.
He compared the laughter-making mis
sion of the actor with what ho termed
the "gloomy- aspect of Hie man of the
pulpit, declaring tlwt as a bonencont mis
rtonary to mankind the stage was at
least as valuable as the church.
Mr. DIxey tlectarod that the action of
the Pittsburg Y. M. C. A. Wk one of big
otry. Jl ascribed th- Mgotry extetlncr
among clergymen to their Ignorance of
life of nioii and things which leave
them uiHiualiflfHl to Judge eWrly and
without prejudice. The actor, on the con
trary, lived in the world, and was con
stantly holding tho' mirror up to htmian
nature, teaching groat trutlm and correct
ing evils.
Aside from conshlermg men as to whose
antecedents there Is doubt, the poll of the
prisons stand as follows:
Arkansas Four clergymen: no actors.
Arizona Two cl'-rgymeti o actors.
Connecticut One clergymen: no actors.
Colorado No clergymon or actors.
Delaware No one of either.
Florida Ms ny colored preachers; no ac
tors. Gcorgia-tSeven negro preachers: no ac

Indiana Neither actor nor clergyman.
Iowa Three actors; no clergymen.
Kansas One negro preacher; no actors.
Kentucky Three ministers; one actor.
Louisiana None of either.
Maine Neither clcrsymtut nr actor.

Massachusetts Neither profession rep
resented. Michigan Ose actor: one clergyman.
Minnesota Three actr; ono clergy

AGAINST LIQUOR LICENSES
32x-Mnvor C. A. Cook. Heads
"Dry' Ticket in St. .Johns.
the
"The Taxpayers' Progressive ticket'
nnido its appearance yesterday In St.
Johns, and wag placed on file with the
Acting Recorder. It is as follows: Mayor
C. A. Cook; Recorder. W. L. Churchill:
Treasurer. C. W. Portor;- Councilmcn-at-
large, H. W. BrJce, R. C. Clark B. D.
Hurlburt; Finn Ward, O. E. Learned. J,
H. Black: Second Ward, L. Badger. E. C.
Thourston.
This Is the temperance ticket. Mr. Cook
was St. John's first Mayor, and stands
squarely for a "dry" town, and the clos
ing up of the present saloon. An effort
was made to eliminate the liquor Issue
and make the water and improvement
questions prominent, but this now l all
off and there will now be a straight fight
on the "wet" and "dry" Issue. The ticket
headed by F. W. Valentine stands for
issuing liquor license. Whether there will
still be a third ticket remains to be seen.
Only H. W. Brlce. of the present city
government, is represented on the "drv"
ticket. If a third ticket is nominated It
may result in splitting the opposition to
the Valentine faction and result In elect
ing the latter ticket. Ex-Mayor Cook Is
considered a vers- strong man with the
conservative and church element of St
Johns, and the race between him and
Valentine will be close, if there Is not a
third ticket.

High Ridges Leave East Ninth Street

Ex-City Engineer W. B. Chase said on
the wlimsM-stand at the gas Investigation
Tacsdar that while in offlce he bad no
trouble with the Portland Gas Company,
leaving the impression that "whon it tore
up streets to lay mains It restored them
to as good a condition as tlwy were oe-
fore work was started. If this were true
while Mr. Chase was In office. it is also
rue that the gas company has ceased to
make a pretence to restore a street where
It lays mains of any dimensions. There is
unmistakable evidence of Its destructive
work In many places. Newly Improved
streets have been torn up and damaged
to the amount of many thousands of
dollars.

seen in Brooklyn. East Side, where the
company is putting down mains on all
the streets. The new pavement on East
Ninth street, between Ellsworth and
Beacon, lias been damaged probably to
the amount of at least &) by failure to
restore the pavement the same as It was
before the destructive work- was begun
The gas company put down a four-Inch
main along the west side, about six feet
from the curb between Ellsworth and
Beacon streets, covered the pipe loosely
with dirt and then heaped big stones.
gravel and some dirt on top. leaving a
ridge from three to four inches high tho
entire length. It has destroyed the at
tractive character of this street, and has
made no effort to repair the damage. The
stone? are being scattered, and the drain
age on the west side of the street I com
pletely destroyed, preventing the water
from running off. and diverting it to the
middle of the street instead.
Work Must Be Done Over.
Even If a heavy roller were put on this
ridge it could not level it down, and the
only way to restore tho street Is to un
cover the pipe, remove part of the dirt
and then replace the gravel. Then the
roller would restore the street, but this
would cost the company considerable
money.
East Ninth was recently paved at an
expense to the property-owners of 53700.
and they were feeling pleased over the
appearance of their pavement; but now
the beauty of the street Is destroyed, the
pavement practically ruined, so that 530)
is a small estimate of the amount the
property-owners have been damaged on
this single new street. Tct the gas com
pany has Just started. When it lays pipes
to the houses along East Ninth, and if
It does the same work undisturbed by
any city official, there will be ridges ex
tending from one side of the street to the
other, and the whole Improvement will
be practically ruined.
To simply watch the outrageous work
of the gas company on this new pave
ment, without power to prevent or pro
test, or without Interference from any
source, was roost exasperating to the
property-owners who had to pay for the
improvement in the first place, especially
when neither the City Engineer, who is
supposed to have some oversight over the
streets, nor his deputies, never ?jo much
as mace nis appearance.
East Ninth street is not the only
street In Brooklyn where this destruc
tive work has been and Is being done.
On East Eighth street, south from Ells
worth, for many blocks there remains
a ridge several inches high, where not
the slightest pretense to restore the
pavement has been made after laying
the gas main.
Spoiled Street's Drainage.
On East Eighth street pipes have
been laid Into tne houses and rldices
and chuck holes extend from one side
of the street to the other. East Eighth
street was an old improvement, but it
was in good condition before the gas
company began laying mains on IL
Its drainage was perfect, but tho-drain
I ago on the west side is destroyed, as
the water is forced but toward the
middle of the street away from the
curb, and the street Is in worse condi
tion than before It was Improved. Tho
damage to East Eighth street cannot
be estimated directly, but it can hardly
be less than 5500, and as long: as left
in Its present condition the pavement
will deteriorate rapidly, because of the
destroyed drainage.
The same kind of work is being- done
on Ellsworth street, where gas mains
arc being laid along the north aide be
tween the street-car track and the
curb. Although a small pipe is being
put down, a great ridge of stones and
gravel has been left between East
Tenth and East Seventh, which is as
far as the work extends. This street Is
only SO feet wide and this ridge raised
the" north side above the car track so
that it Interferes with the proper
drainage.
The heaviest roller in the city could
not restore these streets. It would press
down and harden the ridges a little,
but the stones and loose gravel torn up
In laying the main will scatter and tho
proper drainage of the street will be
interfered with until the ditches are
uncovered and some of the dirt re
moved before the gravel Is put back.
It Is the conservative estimate that
the damages already done to the few
-streets In Brooklyn will foot up prob
ably to $1500.
Little Help From Council.
When the gas company laid Its main
on Mllwaukle street. Councilman Rush
light demanded that the street be re
stored, and It was dono partially. A
property-owner on East Ninth street,
who paid out nearly $200 for the im
provement, exasperated at the damage
to the costlv pavement, asked Council
men Wills and Kellahcr If there was
any remedy for the condition, and was
Informed that as far as they knew
there was none whatever.
But the new streets in Brooklyn are
not the only ones that have been dam
aged. Dr. C. H. Raffety. of the water
committee, said: "There should be some
way to compel the gas company, the
wa:cr committee and sewer and street
contractors to restore streets after
tearing them up. Wc. of the water com
mittee, arc doing better now, ami
should do even better. "We tamp down
the dirt and nil tne trendies witn
water until the material pacs wcu
and then put on the gravel. Then wc
put on the city roller, and witn excep
tion of a slight elevation tno street is
restored. This is the only way to rr-
storc the street .But. as i snia nerorc.
there should he some way to compel
the companies to restore all streets to
ss cood condition as tney were before
they tear them up for mains or sewers.
