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

Took out final naturalization pa
pers October 24, 1005.
Began civil service examination the
same day.
Obtained his position November

The fact that notice of examina

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."

EAST SIDE DROPS .
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.
