THE MOKNING OEEGONIAN. TUESDAY. JULY 24 1906. 11 IS OTHERS MAY GO Half of the Employes of City of Portland Hold Jobs Illegally. - FLAWS IN CIVIL SERVICE Examinations by Commission Hare Been Held Without Sufficient Notice Chief Campbell Is on the Jjlst. THE JOB THAT PUT BKUIX IX. A special lnvestlg-atlon of th. ap pointment of Patrick Bruin was con ducted by a committee of the Coun cil, which rendered a report January 24. 1905. in which it held that the charter civil service rules had been flagrantly violated and that Bruin had been holding office Illegally. The committee found that Bruin had been examined orally In a private room by Postmaster MInto and Jamea Kevins; . that no notice of an oral examination was given; that the provision of the charter calling for competitive exam inations was practically abolished In order to boost Bruin Into a captaincy. Among other findings of the commit tee were the following:' That Patrick Bruin waa not a reel dent of Portland. That Bruin's appointment waa there tore Illegal. That Bruin was not a registered voter, and his appointment, therefore, violated section 128 of the charter. That Bruin waa not a citizen of the United States, nor had he resided In Portland a year prior to his exami nation. 1 That changes In civil service rules aided Bruin. That section 811 was violated In the oral examination that resulted in Bruin's appointment. By rendering: a decision ousting; Captain of Detectives Bruin from his office, Judge A. L. Frazer, of the State Circuit Court, took action yesterday which may be much more sweeping In Its results than was at first realized. ' It is alleged that the same irregularities which rendered Bruin's appointment in valid have occurred in the selection of a large proportion of the city employes who have received their appointments under the Civil Service Commission, and that all who have been so appointed hold - their positions without any legal title. It appears that the decision In question may prove- to be the opening of Pandora's box among; the members of the various civil service departments. The ousting of Bruin is based on the fact that two weeks' notice of examina tion was not given at the time of his ap pointment, as is required under the city charter. Section 311 of the charter pro vides that "Notice of the time, place and general scope of every examination shall be given by tha Commission by publica tion in the city official newspaper once each week for two successive weeks and by posting such notice in a conspicuous place In the office of the commission for not less than two weeks preceding the examination." ' Half of City Employes Affected. . In the case of Bruin, only nine days' notice of examination was given, and on this ground Judge Frazer has declared his position forfeited In response to proceed ings Instituted by Oscar Isakson. It is now said that as many as one-half of the city employes received their appointments as a culmination of the same irregular proceedings, and that their position would be declared forfeited by the courts if FACTS ABOUT BRUIN'S TENURE OF OFFICE. - Took out first naturalisation papers December 12, 1895. ( Took out final naturalization pa pers October 24, 1005. Began civil service examination the same day. Obtained his position November 17, 1805. The fact that notice of examina tion was not given two weeks In ad vance are the grounds upon which he Is ousted. Many other examinations have been held in the same irregular manner and the decision may affect a large portion of the civil service appointees. action should be brought against them. Among those whose official heads. It Is alleged, would fall are Chief Campbell, of the fire department, and other Important officials, as well as scores of minor ones. An investigation into the manner of the appointment of all of the city employes who hold office through the Civil Service Commission is to be made by O. L. Mc pherson, secretary of the commission, upon the Instruction of Mayor Lane. The Investigation will take several days, and at that time the results will be reported to the Mayor. Already it Is known that wholesale cases will be discovered where the technicality of the charter has been violated. All Could Be Ousted. "I should not be surprised if fully one half of the city employes who hold their positions through the civil service have received their appointments within the ten days' notice of examination having been given," said Mayor Lane. "In this case they would have no more title to their position than Bruin, and action could be brought to oust them by anyone who desired to institute proceedings." There are about 671 employes of the city government holding ofnce under the civil service. If It is found that any large number of them have received their ap pointments without- ten days' notice of examination being given. It la- probable that the decision of Judge Frazer will be appealed, and that in the meantime a fitay of execution will be asked for. McPherson Is Surprised. Secretary McPherson was greatly sur prised at the decision of the court, as he believed that the requirements of the charter had been obeyed. "We have al ways considered that we were complying with the charter In having notice of ex aminations advertised in the official pa ' rr two consecutive wbIcr TVd . interpret the provision to mean that it was necessary to give notice the full 14 Jays in advance. If the latter is the case, tis held by the decision of Judge Frazer. many of the appointments have been in valid. I would not undertake to say how large a per cent. Sometimes we have given 14 days' notice, but have made no special effort to do so. and there la no BhUIN DUSTED doubt that a large portion of the examina tions have been made within ten days after the notice was first posted. "I have only begun to search the rec ords to determine in what particular cases the notice of examination has been de fective. I have found, however that there is no record of two weeks' notice having been given at the time of the first appointment of members of the fire de partment after the present charter went into effect. This occurred May 25. 1903. and at that time Chief Campbell, Assist ant Chief Laudenklos and Battalion Chiefs Holden and Young, and many oth ers of the present department received their positions. If I am right that due notice was not given at that time, these appointments would be invalid under the decision of Judge Frazer." In the case of Bruin and any other city officials who might be ousted from their positions the Executive Board would de clare vacancies, and it would be necessary to hold new examinations under the Civil Service Commission. Judge Frazer 's Decision. ' Patrick Bruin has illegally held the of fice of Police Captain and Chief of De tectives for eight months, according to tha decision handled down by Judge Fraz er. Temporarily, at least, the place filled by Patrick Bruin will be vacant. Captain Bruin was given the position he held until today November 17, 1906. A civil service examination was heldf Oc tober 24 and 25 of the same year to pass upon the qualifications of applicants for the- office of Police Captain. Among those who took th.e examination was Oscar F. Isakson, and when the appointment of Bruin was announced Isakson objected to being placed under a man who, he claimed, was not legally entitled to the place. November 27, 1906, Isakson filed suit in the State Circuit Court to oust Bruin from Office, and after many de lays, due to legal technicalities, Judge Frazer rendered his decision yesterday. The question of Bruin's eligibility for the position of Captain of Police was not gone into by Judge Frazer; neither was the question of his citizenship taken into consideration by the court. It being held that there was no ground for action with regard to the matters. The legali ty of the examination and the appoint ment alone were the questions consid ered. "If the Civil Service Commission had jurisdiction In this case," said Judge Frazer, ''being a quasi-judicial body and exercising a judicial function, its action would have the same binding effect as that of any inferior judicial tribunal, and this court could not review of annul such action, however irregular it might be, in a collateral proceeding such as this. The Supreme Court has often held that de viation from the legal requirements in tha matter of giving notice makes ac tion in cases such as this wholly Ineffec tive. The notice for the period prescribed by law was not given, and the jurisdic tion of the Civil Service Commission wholly depends upon the giving of notice in accordance with law. "It follows that no legal notice of the examination -having been given, the com mission had no authority to hold the ex amination, and legally there was no ex amination. The list of eligibles prepared by .the commission at that time was L ; 6r j Patrick Brain. Who Holds Office of Captain of Detectives Illegally. therefore wholly void, and appointments made from that list have no binding ef fect whatever." Another Examination to Be Held. In the complaint filed in the State Cir cuit Court by Isakson it was further claimed that Bruin had not been a resi dent of the State of Oregon for three years preceding the examination. Evi dence adduced during the bearing of the case went to show that Bruin was a na tive of Ireland, that he took out his first papers in Cook County, Illinois, Decem ber 12, 1895, and that he did not take out his final papers until October 24, 1S0B, the day on which he started to take the ex amination for the position of Captain of Police. Since Isakson brought suit against iBruin he has been ' dropped from the force on a eharge of making an unwar ranted attack upon petty officers of the United States war vessels Chicago and Princeton. It Is probable that another examination will be held to fill the place made vacant by the ousting of Bruin as the only eligibles on the list took the ex amination at the same time as Bruin. KNOWS NOTHING OF GAMING Declares That He Will Investigate ' Conduct of Police Department. Mayor Lane disclaims any knowledge of gambling being as prevalent in Portland as reported. He declares that he has known Chinese lottery games have existed to some extent, but de clares he knows nothing; of regular poker games and other systems of chanoe being conducted in Portland in many different places to which access can be easily obtained. That poker games engaged in by private parties in the backs of saloons, ho says, is news to him. "It has been my policy in the past and will continue to be my policy in the future to keep down gambling as much as possible," stated Mayor Lane yesterday. "I have given rigid in structions to the Police Department to suppress gambling, and will immedi ately call attention to my orders, and will most assuredly ascertain whether they have been carried out- "All this publicity of alleged gam bling Is news to me. I am utterly unaware of it. Through the Police Department, I have known that the Chinese played lottery, and we have tried hard to stop that, but I have had no idea that gambling was so wide spread as it is said to be. I will en deavor to find out the true conditions." "SEX AMERICA FIRST."

CITY BARN FIGHT Mayor Offers to Sell Site to Property-Owners If An other Is Offered." COST BARS COMPROMISE Committee of Citizens Ascertain That $3000 Would Have to Be Raised In Order to Have the Barn Moved Elsewhere. Property-owners in the vicinity of Han cock and East Seventh streets will make no further opposition to the erection of the new barn for the street-cleaning de partment. A committee of representative citizens, all of whom possess largo prop erty holdings near the site of the new barn, waited upon Mayor Lane yesterday afternoon and after the meeting was over concluded it was useless to do any thing except to let the matter drop. The members of the committee, after a long discussion with Mayor Lane, real ized that there were but two alternatives for them to adopt. Either to raise a sum of not less than $3000 to purchase the lot and cover the money already expended on the foundation of the new barn, or to let the matter stand as it is. After a lengthy discussion with Mayor Lane and among themselves they decided that the only coures left open for them is to adopt the latter alternative. As snuch of the property surrounding the site of the barn Is represented by the committee, it is thought that the other property-owners will abide with the decision arrived at by the committee. Mayor Lane and C. A. Cogswell, of the Executive Board, entered Into discussion with the members of the committee and informed them that they had to protect the rights of the city at all cost. They stated, however, that they believed the difficulty could be adjusted if the property-owners would purchase the site, make arrangements with the contractor, who now has a force of men at work upon the foundation and secure for the city another site equally as attractive as the present one. The members of the committee con sulted among themselves and estimated that they would have to raise in all about J3000. This they agreed was too much. -The city paid 1200 for the site and J1000 or more has already been expended upon the foundation. Thomas Mulr is the con tractor and they figured that, at the least, he would ask $S00 to relin quish his contract. Then after that would come the extremely difficult task of find ing another location for the barn. The committee laid stress upon the point that the city had made a bad bar gain, and on behalf of the property-owners offered to take over the site of the barn. Various members quoted estimates made by the City Engineer's office that to repair the streets so hat entrance could be obtained to the barn when.it is erected would cost in the neighborhood of 5000. But the Mayor and Mr. Cogswell con tended that tha streets could be filled with sweepings at minimum expense. "My duty is to convey a good title to the city and if I haven't I most as suredly will," remarked Mr. Cogswell when asked- what action would be taken if the city were enjoined from building on the grounds that the title was de fective. Bought Property "Sight Unseen." "This piece of business doesn't look right and we haven't had a chance to protest," declared C. G. Pawling, a mem ber of the committee, with rising anger. "You evaded us and purchased the prop erty without seeing it," he continued, ad dressing Mr. Cogswell, - who purchased the property and then delivered the deed unto the city. "What if I hired an agent and he bought a farm for ma without seeing it?" i "I acted upon the advice of Superlnten. rent Donaldson of the street-cleaning de partment, and he ought to know whether the location is suited for the purposes in tended better than any of us," retorted Mr. Cogswell. "Maybe I should have acted a little differently, but I took his advice and am open to criticism." "Are you wedded to the idea of building a barn there irrespective 'of the wishes of the property-owners?" inquired Attorney Dan K. Murphy of Mayor Lane. Barn Needed on East Side. "We dpn't want it there more than any other place that is centrally lo cated," replied the Mayor. "We have to go some place. If we should hunt out another site we would be subject ed to more protests. We must have a barn on the East Side. We have purchased that site, the contractor has given his bond, and now has a large force employed, and what can we do but allow the work to progress? If we take the barn someplace else we will receive just as much protest." "It reminds me of the man wltk the smallpox; nobody wants him near," broke in Mr. Cogswell. "So." you are going to clean the streets, and then dump the unwhole some and disagreeable sweepings in front of our residences," remarked J. F. Sinnott, a member of the committee, "The street-cleaning department In forms me that we are in need of some gulches to-flll up," said Mayor Lane. "We will construct a plank bridge to the barn when it is completed, and Inside of a - comparatively short time we will have a good, level street, be cause the sweepings are Immense," said Mr. Cogswell, who was In the thick and. thin of the conversation. And so it was all afternoon. Tha members ' declared the barn would paralyze , building operations . in that vicinity; depreciate property . values, and some contended that as a general thing street cleaners were not a very desirable class, and that their morals are low. Mayor Lane and Mr. Cogswell both were of the opinion that it was to be regretted that the barn was to be lo cated - in a place 'which called out -a protest of the- citizens, and said they were sorry that nothing could be done. They said the Council had ap propriated the money, and that they had to put it to the proper use. They said they did not have, the power to settle a large sum of money upon con tractor and' then ' go build somewhere else. Property-Owners Had Protested. In answer to a question propounded by Mayor Lane why - the committee had not made a protest ' before the committee answered that the property owners had signed a protest before the contract was let, and that it was submitted to Auditor T. C. Devlin. They supposed that the protest had been presented for the consideration of the Executive Board. Mr. Devlin ex plained that the document had been sent to the police and health commit tee, and that members of the Execu tive Board had been apprised of its existence. There is an ordinance to the effect that before a barn -can be erected in certain districts the oensent of the property-owners within 200 feet of the proposed building had to be obtained. The property-owners affected by the 200-foot limit signed the protest and submitted it to Auditor Devlin, think ing that was all that was necessary. They learned later that the ordinance was admittedly unconstitutional. Had they known this sooner they probably could have done something effective. D. G. Tomasini, a member of the com mittee, stated that the city bad paid an exorbitant price for the property, and said that William Reidt. tha owner, had been advised of the inten tions of the Executive Board and ad vanced his price. He said he had obr tained his information from W. C North, of the Assessor's office, but the latter g-entleman was called, and he declared that ha had been misunder stood. Protest Will Be Dropped. The meeting began at 2 o'clock and lasted until about a o'clock." Then the members of the committee conferred among themselves for half an hour or more in the hallway, after which they announced their decision. They be lieved that if the city was enjoined because of an alleged defective title Mr. Cogswell could receive back the title and transfer It to some one else, who would then return it to the City. It is -held that Mr. Cogswell, inasmuch as he occupies a- position upon the Executive Board, cannot legally trans fer property to the city. He bought it himself, believing the property could be purchased cheaper In this -way than if it were known that it was Intended for the city. Those who composed the committee were: Frank D. Jones, John A. Pater son, J. F. Sinnott, C. O. Pawling, W. J. Hughes, D. G. Tomasini, J. L. Mor gan, E. ' J. McKltrick and Attorney Dan K, Murphy. UNITARIANS WILL NOT SELL OFFER OF $100,000 FOR CHURCH SITE IS REFUSED. Unanimons Sentiment of Trustees Is Opposed to Disposing of Prop erty to Business Firm. Members of the First Unitarian Church have determined not to sell their property at Seventh and Yamhill streets, upon which they recently received offers from a firm which desired it for commercial purposes. Two offers were received for the quarter-block, the first being for J75,- 000. When it was found that the i congre gation would not consider that amount, the same people offered tlOO.000 for the Bite, giving the present owners the privi lege of removing the church. No meeting of the trustees was held to consider the sale, but they were consulted individually and it was found that there was almost an unanimous ' sentiment against disposing of the property. The church is one of the oldest In the city, and the congregation dislikes to sell be cause of the old associations and the fact that they believe much more good can be accomplished in the present location than If a less central site were secured. It is known that the firm which made an offer ior the property would have erected a large brick block upon it, and still wishes to build in the same district. An offer was also made upon a neighbor ing corner. CHINESE GAMES ARE RAIDED Three Denizens) ofFantan Den Are Arrested. Ah Son, Ah Yong and Ah Sule could not find the trapdoor at 93 Second street quick enough yesterday evening to escape the clutches of Acting Detective B. F. Smith, who was on the lookout for just such a quiet fantan game as that with which these Celestial worthies were amusing themselves. Smith made his entrance to the scene of operation by means of a sledge, but when he arrived on the ground most of the wily Chinese had all made their escape by means known only to themselves. The three sons of Ah alone were unfortunate enough to be detected with their hands unwashed. Acting Detective C. H. Hill, several hours later, did not look good to another crowd of yellow devotees of fantan at the corner of Second and Alder. These play ers calmly threw their chips out of the upstairs window when they heard Hill coming, and thereby cleared themselves of any evidence which Judge Cameron might be convinced gave proof of the ex istence of a game. VISIT OF GENERAL GREELY Relief Work Over, Ho Inspects Northwest Army Posts. General A. W. Greely, TJ. S. A.; com mander of the Pacific Division, was at the Hotel Portland yesterday on his way to Seattle. He was accompanied by Mrs. Greely.

Three weeks ago the Government ' re lief affairs, which have been under the charge of General Greely sitae the earth quake, were turned over to the city of ficials at San Francisco. He is of the opinion that Brigadier-General A. "L. Mills will be the next commander of the Department of the Columbia, to succeed General Williams. Captain Frank S. Winn accompanied General Greely, who came direct to Port land from San Francisco. Three Boys Set Out to Ex plore the City and Are Lost THE pleasant weather of last evening just suited the small children for an exploration ' of parts unknown, " and in consequence ; the police were kept busy watching for runaway young ones. The 6-year-old son of Mrs. Buckman, of 385 Yamhill street, and two sons of E. Broth ers, 349 Yamhill, set off in company to explore the city alone. Up to a late hour the wandering youngsters had not been located, although all the officers were no tified 'to keep a sharp lookout' for the' group of knlght-errants. Two little girls were also reported -lost early in the even-' ing, but these were found soon after straying. from home. .' . .. EASTERN EXCURSION RATES August 1, .8, 0, September 8 and 10.
