Po8tm aster Takes Charge. Mayor Valentine having received his commission from Washington, yesterday morning took charge of the Postofflce in at. Johns, with W Moxon as his assistant. It has de veloped that while the protect forwarded by his opponents was received, no in vestigation was ordered, and immediately on receiving and approving his bonds, Mayor Valentine's commission was for warded. Hia appointment is not likely to affect his position aB Mayor of St. Johns, at least the Postal Department has not raised that question. He received congrat ulations yesterday on his accession to the office. The St. Johns Postofflce on -Tuly 1 was advanced to the third I'lass, and will pay the Postmaster J1100 per annum. It will be moved into more commodious quarters as soon as such a place can be secured for It.

Nine cottages have recently been de stroyed by Are at Arleta and along the Mount Scott railway, the last one being the home of A. B. Cherry, at FIrland Sta tion.

Judge Gantenbeln will leave next Wednesday for his vaeaion, which he will spend with the Oregon National Guard at the American Lake Encampment- Judge Cleland is spending his vacation at the seaside, where he owns a cottage. Presiding Judge Bears Is enjoying mountain ozone. Judge Frazer is. spending his vacation In the same way he spent it last Summer. He was presiding judge a year ago, and, coupled with his work in the Juvenile Court, he found himself too busy to take a much-needed rest. "I intended to take a short vacation this, year," said Judge Fraser yesterday, "but I find that I have so much work to do that it will be Im possible for me to get away. I have concluded that I won't bother taking a vacation this year." Judge Frazer is deeply interested In his Juvenile Court work, and has decided not to take a vacation this Summer. New Four-Story Brick. Plans are be ing drawn for a four-story brick building to be erected at the corner of Twenty second and York streets, by the Pacific Coast Syrup Company.

The plant will be In operation by next May, and ready to handle the fruit crop of the state. The company has a large plant in operation at Los Angeles, but the Port land plant will be made headquarters for handling Oregon fruits and vegetables. The company piakes and exports large quantities of syrup to all parts of the Coast and to the East. Its San Francisco factory was completely destroyed last April, and the insurance losses there have not yet been' adjusted.. Ask Removal of Oil Tanks.-'A discus sion of the oil-tank situation on the East Side drew a large delegation of resi dents of that-section of the city to the meeting of the health and police commit tee of the Council yesterday morning. Sev eral were In attendance as representatives of the East Side Improvement Association, and all asked that an ordinance be passed which should force the removal of the tanks from the city limits. An ordi nance to provide for the removal of the tanks has been presented to the Council by Councilman Sharkey and is now before the health and police committees. Some changes in the ordinance as drawn up were suggested and the entire matter was postponed until the next meeting prior to which another ordinance will probably, be prepared. Drunken Sailor Falls From Dock. Peter Poulsen, a sailor, fell from the upper to the lower dock at the foot of Couch street early yesterday morning. He was severely hurt- . The sailor was drunk and walked off the upper dock, falling 16 feet. He was arrested, but when tlie hour for his appearance In Police Court came, his condition was such that he had to be taken to the Good Samaritan Hos pital. An effort was made by the police to get the Sailors' Union to care for him, but that organization refused to have anything to do with the man because he had been ashore several months and was consequently not regarded by the union as a full-fledged sailor.

Sinshelmer. 72 Third L I THINKS MISSING CECIL BRITTON IS IN A PORTLAND GYPSY CAMP Mrs., Poole, of Fulton, Reports Having Seen Lad Resembling Walla Walla Boy With Wanderers, and Police Investigate. IS CECIL BRITTON. the 4-year-old lad whose strange disappearance from "his parents' Summer camp at the toll gate in the Blue Mountains, near Walla Walla, about two weeks ago, aroused the Interest of several states, the victim of a Gypsy abduction, and are his captors now in the vicinity of Portland? This is a question which Mrs. E. Poole, of Fulton, answers in the affirmative, and which the police are now trying to solve. Mrs. Poole has informed the police that she saw the missing child In company with two disreputable-looking Gypsy women Wednesday afternoon. She had seen a picture of the missing boy and rec ognized htm at once. Yesterday morning Chief Gritsmacher decided that Mrs. Poole's statement was worthy of investigation. He detailed Offi cer Inskeep to visit every Gypsy camp in the city and suburbs and to search every tent. The officer spent the day among the camps on the White House road. He found one little boy in a Gypsy camp who answered somewhat to the descrip tion given by Mrs. Poole, but this lad BAILIFF WINS SUIT Court Decides MacDonald Is Entitled to Salary. MAYOR SHORN OF POWER Appointment of Municipal Court Crier by the Council legal, Ac cording to the Opinion of Judge Gantenbeln. One of the most important decisions handed down in the State Circuit Court during the Summer vacation term was rendered by Judge Gantenbeln yesterday, and by its terms Mayor Lane is shorn of much of the power that he was supposed to have vested in him under the provisions of the new city charter of Portland. . The decision was made in the case of James MacDonald, bailiff In the Municipal Court, who sued to recover salary lor the month of May. The office held by MacDonald was created by the Council in an ordinance passed over the Mayor's veto by a vote of 11 to 2, and MacDonald took the place May 3. When the time came' for receiving his first month's pay the salary was withheld on instructions from the Mayor. MacDonald brought mandamus proceedings to compel the Is suance of a warrant in his favor. Judge Gantenbeln held that tha Council was wiiuin the scope of its authority v. hen It appointed MacDonald as bailiff. Section 156 of the city charter provides "that the Mayor shall appoint all officers of the city whose election or appointment is not expressly provided for in this char ter or by law." . It was held by Judge Gantenbeln that the words "by law" means by statute or by ordinance, and that an appointment by ordinance is an appointment by law. and, therefore, does not infringe upon the Mayor's right of appointment. "There is no restriction on the right of the Council to provide by ordinance for an appointment of this kind," said the Judge, "and the appointment of MacDon ald as bailiff was vested in the Common Council by reason of this ordinance." Judge Gantenbeln said the appointment of MacDonald by the Council did not con flict with the civil service provision, which says that all offices shall be filled through the civil service commission except those that are filled by popular election, by ap pointment of Council, or otherwise. Judge Gantenbeln granted a five days' stay of judgment, on request of R. W. Montague and T. G. Greene, attorneys, who appeared for Mayor Lane, in order to give time to decide whether or not they would appeal the case. Lawyers say that Judge Gantenbein's ruling on the charter is important, and should it stand the test of an appeal to the Supreme Court, almost unlimited power is placed in the hands of the Coun cil. One attorney went so far as to say that the Council could create as many new offices as that body desired and ap point its own favorites to fill them. ' John F. Logan and John C. Shillock 'ap peared for MacDonald. TWO DIVORCES GRANTED. Washington Porter and Ethel Ford Freed From Unhappy Unions. Yesterday was an off day for divorces, and only two decrees were granted. It took more than 25 years tor Mrs. Edea Porter to ascertain that she had made a grevlous mistake and did not marry the man she loved when she wed ded Washington Porter at Litchfield Minn., in May, 1877. In the meantime three children had been born of the union. It was a case of a husband suing for divorce on the grounds of cruel and in human treatment. Inoffensive in appearance, mild of man ner and soft of voice, Washington Porter told the story of his wrongs in Judge Gantenbeln s court yesterday. "She had always been a good woman until she came under the influence of a man named Becker, here in Portland,' said Porter. "Then she developed a tern per and forgot household duties, neglected the children and told me that she no longer loved me. She would spend hours of her time in the company of Becker, drinking beer and carrying on in a way that sorely grieved me. Mrs. Skaggs and William Porter, a 14- year-old son of the warring couple, swore that the conduct of Mrs. Porter was, to put it mildly, reprehensible. The divorce was granted and the father was given the custody of the children. Ethel Ford was granted a divorce from Robert J. Ford yesterday afternoon on the ground of desertion. They were mar ried at Vancouver, Wash., in 1S97, and three years later the husband went away. Mrs. Ford was awarded the custody of a minor child. Contracting Company Incorporates. Articles of incorporation of the Empire Contracting Company were filed in the office of the County Clerk yesterday, with F. H. Stow, A. King Wilson and O. A. Neal incorporators. The company will carry on a general building business, in- eluding railroads, bridges, telegraph and telephone lines. Portland will be the head office of the company, which is capital ized at $100,000. - Will Render Decision Today. Judge Gantenbeln will render a decision in the divorce case of Erlckson against Erlckson today, and also pass sentence on Charles Bock. Monday and Tuesday turned out to be a full-fledged member of the tribe of wanderers. Hia hair was coarse like that of an Indian, and was done up in braids. Mrs. Poole states that the child she saw had fine curly hair. She Is sure the child was not a Gypsy, and immediately on seeing it was struck by its close resemblance to the missing boy's photo. Today the search will be continued by the police department. Little Cecil Brltton's disappearance from the tollgate camp was a most mysterious afTair. At first it was thought the child had been lost in the mountains. Search ing parties spent days hunting for the tad, and bloodhounds were finally ' employed, but to no avail. The child seemed to have gone up Ift thin air, so complete was the disappearance. The search was finally dropped, a conclusion being reached that the boy had been abducted. Mrs. Poole's theory is regarded by the police as being entirely probable. Some of the Gypsies now camped in the vicin ity of Fulton are known to have come here from the vicinity of Walla Walla and Spokane; and they would have had plenty of time in which to make the trip between Walla Walla and Portland since the date of the boy's disappearance.

Reports that worthless notes of the now defunct Consolidated Bank of Can ada are being circulated in Portland cause to be recalled a similar circumstance 16 years ago, when valueless paper of the same bank was passed on merchants here. Druggist Fred Beal at that time was mulcted for J10. A man came Into his store, bought a toothbrush for 25 cents, handed out a $10 note on the Consolidated Bank of Canada, located at Montreal, and received his change. Mr. Beal passed the note along to the wholesale house of Snell. Heitschu & Woodard, but It was returned. He later tried several banks, all of which refused it without giving reasons. Mr. Beal then deposited it with one of the local banks for collection, and received TWT reply that the note had been stolen from their counters, together with others amounting to J100.000, before being countersigned, and was consequently worfhless A year or so later, Charles Geyer, who ran a saloon across the street from Beat's drugstore, received a similar note. Subsequently the paper money was passed by boys into a Chinese lottery, both winning prizes. The bank liquidated some years later and the notes were suppressed, but are now being circulated again by some clev er swindlers. BAND CONCERT ON PLAZA Crowd of 3000 Hears Musicians Un der Direction of XV. E. McElroy. Assistant Director McElroy, of the Park Band, has been in Portland only about two months, but in that time many people have learned of his excellent taste in se lecting popular music for open-air con certs, and the 3000 persons who listened to the programme on the Plaza last night, went home well pleased with what they had heard. The programme consisted entirely of popular numbers. The lights went out during the rendering of "Tone Pictures from North and South," and the popular melody was completed after the intermission. This selection, a medley composed of strains from "Dixie," "Mas sa's in de Col', Col' Ground," "Arkansas Traveler," "Carry Me Back to Old Vir ginia." "Maryland, My Maryland," "Star Spangled Banner" and other old favorites. Is popular everywhere, and deservedly so in Portland, for the band renders it well. An extra number, the Intermezzo "Silver-Heels," and the overture, .-"Poet and Peasant," were received with loud ap plause. The next concert will be at the City Park, Sunday afternoon, under the direction of Conductor Brown.
