10 THE MORNING OREGON IAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1907. CITY EMPLOYES MAY .BE -OUSTED Captain Bruin and 174 Others Said to Hold Municipal Positions Illegally. iSAKSON WILL BRING SUIT Action of Kx-Patrolinan for Rein statement Is Br.sed on Decision of State Supreme Court, -Hid to Be Sweeping. Captain of Police Patrick Bruin and 174 other municipal employes are not legally entitled to their positions and may be ousted in a court proceeding, to be brought by O. F. Isakson, a discharged patrolman, through his lawyers, John F. Logan and John C. Shillock. The latter, after careful investigation, announced yesterday that a special act of the last session of the Oregon Legislature, at tempting to validate the appointment of civil service workmen in Portland, is un-, constitutional, according to the recent de cision in the Port of Columbia case by Chief Justice Bean. If the contention of Lawyers Logan and Shillock be true. It is regarded as alto gether probable that Captain Bruin and those In the same legal position with him, will have to put up another fight in the courts to retain their places, or step out. Isakson, the deposed .policeman, has con sulted Logan and Shillock. with a view to Instituting proceedings to collect his salary from the date of his dismissal by the city authorities to the present, and for reinstatement to his former position, as a patrolman in the local department. The point made by Lawyers Logan and Shillock is based upon the following para graph of Chief Justice Bean's decision In the Port of Columbia case: "Article 11 of the constitution (of Ore gon), as amended June, 1906, providing that corporations may be formed under general laws, but shall not be created by special laws, and that the Legislature shall not amend, enact or repeal any act of Incorporation for any municipality, city or town, deprives the legislature of power to create a corporation for muni cipal purposes by special act." The special act of the Legislature re ferred to was passed because of a de cision rendered by Circuit Judge Frazer, which in effect invalidated the appoint ment of Captain Bruin and 174 other mu nicipal employes, who had been named to their places, but who. It was proved, were illegally commissioned because of the fact that their examinations were void, there having been no published notice of the same, as required by law. Owing to the large number of men involved, friends of those affected laid the cases before State Senator C. W. Hodson. of Multnomah County, who introduced the curative act Into the Legislature. It passed, and it has been supposed that the matter was ended, but it now appears that, by Jus tice Bean'B decision, the special act Is unconstitutional, and that Captain Bruin, and those interested with him, stand just where they did , when Circuit Judge Frazer declared them Illegally appointed and therefore as having no standing in court. Those affected passed examinations and were appointed to city positions, under Civil Service rules, between April 25, 1903, to October 24, 1905. The alleged ille gal appointment of Captain Bruin to the police department started litigation, which continued until the decision of Judge Frazer was rendered. O. F. Isakson, who was at the time a patrolman, instituted ouster proceedings against Bruin, seeking to have himself seated In Bruin's office. Isakson was later discharged because of trouble with United States seamen, from one of the naval vessels In the harbor. It was alleged that he used brutality toward them in maKing arrests. Isakson now purposes instituting, through Messrs. Logan and Shillock. pro ceedings In the Circuit Court to collect from the City of Portland the regular monthly salary of patrolman from the time of his discharge until now, and for reinstatement to his former position. This will reopen the entire matter, and It is understood that no remedy is at hand to save those involved from the loss of their positions, at least not until such time as an amendment can be voted upon by the people as a curative measure. FINE PAINTING EXHIBITED 'Lot and His Daughters" Shown at Store of Woodard, Clarke & Co. "Lot and His Daughters," a life-sized group of three figures by Edouard Zler, illustrating a story from the Bible, is on exhibition on the fourth floor of Woodard, Clarke & Co. 's store. IC Is a registered canvas valued at $10,000. The painter was born In Paris and was a pupil of the elder Zler and of Gcrome. At the Cen tennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876 Zler exhibited his "Julia" which was awarded a medal. The next year he hung his "Departure of Judith" .and his "Acls Galatea" In the Salon Paris, and sold the latter painting for J20.000. The canvas on exhibition shows two full-sized female figures and that of an old man, their father, with a dimmed fiBure In the back ground supposed to be the third daughter turned into a column of salt because she looked back against divine instruction, to see the burning of the city from which they all were escap ing. As a study of a certain school of French painting, the picture is well worth seeing. No admission is charged. HARKS TO UNWRITTEN LAW Ex-Judge Lowell Against Mr. Roose velt as Next President. PENLDETON, Or., Nov. 20. (To the Edi tor.) Permit me to strike a note of discord In the seemingly universal Roosevelt sym phony now tfelng presented in the matter of the Presidential succession, and to appeal tc thoughtful men to pause and consider the history of that unwritten law w"hich thus far In this republic has prohibited a third term In the Presidential office, and to weigh with calm patriotism the possible results which may flow from its breach. For more than 100 years this law has ex isted. It finds Its source In Washington's voluntary retirement at the end of eight years of service, and in that paragraph of his famous farewell address which reads. The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of re venge natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frlgm fal despotism, Ijut this leads at length to more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result grad ually incline the minds of men to seek se curity and repose In the absolute power of an individual, and sooner or later the chief of rome prevailing faction, more able or more- fortunate than his competitor turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty." Belief In the wisdom and foresight of the first president has been enhanced and but tressed by the experience of substantially every other popular government which has ever existed, while Mexico and Venezuela are concrete examples in our own time of the conditions which this unwritten law Is Intended to prevent. The advocates of another term for the present incumbent of the executive office will admit all this, but they Justify their attitude by declaring either that Roosevelt has een but once elected, or that this Na tion Is too intelligent to be in danger of drifting toward monarchy. The first excuse is too specious to mislead, for the President will have occupied his office practically seven years when his present term shall ex pire and his renomlnation would he as clearly a breach of the Washingtonlan prece dent as though he had been already twice elected The second excuse is more dan gerous because of Its subtle appeal to the pride of the people. It has been the cry all through history when the enemies of popu lar government have sought to insert the thin edge of the wedge ultimately to under mine the fortresses of civil liberty. Do not let me be misunderstood. I do not think that the present occupant of the White House, were he, to be again elected, would have any Imperial designs, but the danger lies In the fact that when his per sonallty haa been used to break down this barrier there is nothing to prevent another generation, when other forces are in power, successfully retaining as head of the Gov ernment another man who will revive the past and crush liberty at the head of the Army. These words are not written In any spirit of antagonism toward the President. He has accomplished a wonderful work in turn ing the Nation back to the principles of common honesty and civic righteousness. Under his administration, for the first time since Lincoln died, lawbreakers in high places stand at the bar of Justice, and the grip of corporate interests ceases to stran gle popular government. The work he has begun must continue, but its continuance does not depend upon any one man. The safeguards of the republic do not need to be destroyed to assure the accomplishment of all the purposes for which his administration stands A docen names can be mentioned of men who will lead quite as ably and cer tainly the movement which Roosevelt rep resents, and which Is in fact but the reflex of a revival of public conscience. Assuredly the present Governor of New York, with his magnificent public record, ability, independence, courage and align ment with the people, can b trusted to ad minister the general Government wisely and well. Is It not time that this feverish movement for a third term, found cessa tion in the considerate Judgment of an electorate finally mpved by patriotism and not by sentiment? STEPHEN A. LOWELL. TO LEAVE CITY POLICE JUDGE GIVES BRUTAIj HISBASD OXE CHAXCE. If He Shuns Drink for a Year, Ij. H. Williams May Re turn td Portland. Lawrence H. Williams, of 329 Burniiide street, was given the alternative, in the Municipal Court, yesterday, of leaving his wife or spending the next 140 days on the county rockpile. He thought the propo sition over briefly and decided to leave his wife. In accordance with his agree ment with Judge Cameron, the young husband will take the morning train for Tacoma today. His wife will not ac company him and while the seperation is not necessarily Anal it Is to continue until Williams overcomes certain bar barian instincts and gives assurance to Mrs. Williams that he will treat her more as a woman should be treated and less as he would treat a dog. As a domestic man, it was shown, "vi 11 liams is a total failure. His tempera ment very clearly is better adapted to the life of a bushranger or pirate than to the needs cf the head of a family. His wife says he has been constantly brutal and unkind in his treatment of her. But the climax did not come until Wednes day night when he invited her to a thea ter and then came home half drunk. They left the house together and then the husband began abusing her on the street. He did not strike her but repeatedly said he intended killing her. She says when she tried to calm him he nourished a knife and said she was heartless and it didn't matter how he treated her. When she denied his accusation he said he'd remove what heart she had with his knife and show her it wasn't larger than a pea. Unable to bear such abuse and be coming afraid the man would attempt to carry some of his barbarian ideas into execution, Mrs. Williams called the police. Later, she appeared before Municipal Clerk Hennessy and swore to a complaint charging threats to kill. Williams was a very humble man when he was led before the court for trial yes terday morning. He said he had no recol lection of threatening his wife but that If she said so it must be true as he had never known her to He. "She's the best woman in the world and anything I did against her was due to drink," he said dramatically. He didn't explain just why he persisted In drinking when it had such an effect. Judge Cameron thought he detected a spark of latent decency in the man and said he was Inclined to give him a chance. In sentencing Wlllams to the long term in jail, Judge Cameron said he would suspend sentence provided Wil liams would leave the city and molest his wife no further, if he succeeded in fighting the liquor question out with him self and coming out on top he might in time be permitted to return to Port land. But this return was not to be made within a year, unless Williams wanted to serve the sentence. Williams accepted the alternative and said he would do his best to make a man of himself. He agreed to leave Portland on the morning train today. His destina tion is Tacoma where he will seek em ployment. ACCEPTS THE FRANCHISE St. John Gas Company Prepares to Put in Plant.

Schornig, who lives at 9H4 Grand avenue, recently planned a huge banquet as a 'boom to his election to the office of Chief Executive of Portland.

TOR SAIi.E BY BANK WAS NEVER SOLVENT BONDING COMPANY DISPLEASED WITH OUTLOOK. Informed That Title Trust Institu tion Was Not on Business Ba sis Front the Start. That the Title Guarantee & Trust Company was never solvent Is the charge now being made by those di rectly Interested in probing into the affairs of the institution. The investi gation now being conducted by District Attorney Manning is expected to reveal some sensational facts, although he is not ready to announce his findings as yet. Vice-President W. J. Clemens, of the American Surety Company, which is directly interested in the condition of the bank, said last night: "I am informed that the bank was never solvent that is, that when the institution opened it owed more than its assets. If this is true, it will be a serious matter for the officers of the bank. I do not think the Governor should play politics at this time. We want him to leave things alone pending the arrival of our people and not to come out with declarations against State Treasurer Steel, whom we are protecting by our bonds, just now." President F. H. Lyman, or other of ficials of the American Surety Company, will arrive here about December 1 to probe Into the affairs of the Institu tion. It Is possible that the officers of the bank will be prosecuted by the eurety company. This will not be known until the company completes its investigation. "I do not expect the state to lose a single dollar through my conduct of the affairs of the office of State Treas urer," declared Mr. Steel last night. "I am prepared to turn over to my suc cessor in office every dollar that was entrusted to my keeping. Further than this I do not care to discues the mat ter. Of course, If the Governor wants to go ahead and talk politics, he may do so; I do not care about that. The statement that I have a personal note for a large sum in the Title Guarantee & Trust Company is false; absolutely nothing in the story. The Portland Fuel Company, in evhich I am interest ed, has carried on transactions with the bank along purely legitimate lines and probably does owe stiethlng, but that account is as good as gold." The petition for the removal of Re ceiver Hill of the Title Guarantee & Trust Company will come up for hear ing before Judge Wolverton in the United States Court on Saturday. SANITARY CONDITIONS BAD Brooklyn Improvement Club Finds Fault With Schoolhouse. At a well attended meeting of the Brooklyn Republican and Improvement Club last night, A. G. Rushlight, presid ing, it was announced that the general sanitary condition of the Brooklyn school is bad and that the ventilation is very poor. The following committee was appointed to take up the matter with the Board of Education: Frank Hatt, A. L' Keenan, Frank Stephens, A. L Barber and A. G. Rushlight. This committee also will urge that the ground In the rear of the schoolhouse be purchased as a playground for the school children. In view of the declaration of J. Poul sen, of Inman, Poulsen & Company, that he would resist the filling of East Sixth street across Stephens Slough, it was de cided that the Interests of the community should be looked after. G. W. Presser, M. Gregory, F. Stephens, A. G. Rushlight and M. G. Griffin were appointed to act as a committee in this matter. Part of the trestle for this fill has been built, but work has been suspended since Mr. Poulsen has threatened injunction pro ceedings. This proposed fill will cost about $25,000 and is through the property the mill company offered to trade to the city for streets which It occupies with Its lumber yard.
