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.
The St. John Gas Heating & Lighting
Company and S. V. Davidor yesterday
filed their acceptance with Recorder Es
son of the gas franchise which was
granted them a month ago. This accept
ance was filed by both Mr. Davidor and
the incorporated company to meet the
requirements of the franchise which was
granted to S. V. Davidor and the St.
John Gas Heating & Lighting Company.'
The owners of the franchise have now
one month more in which to file the $5000
cash bond for the faithful carrying out
of the terms of the franchise.
The company seems to be making every
effort to erect the plant and manufac
ture gas for the people of St. John. It
has secured a site of the St. John Ship
Building Company, consisting of about
half a block. On this site the buildings
for the plant will be erected. Mr. Davf
dor announces that the machinery, cost
ing $21,000, has been ordered from Cleve

Install Dredger Machinery.
An expert has arrived from Chicago
to install the machinery on the big
dredger that is being built for the Pa
cific Bridge Company at St. John. Mon
day the huge hull was launched and the
machinery Is now being put in. The ex
pert will remain while the machinery,
which came some time ago, is being as
sembled and he will look after its in
stallation. After the- machinery is in
place he will give It a thorough test.
Manager Simon, of the Pacific Bridge
Company, thinks that the dredger can
be placed in operation In from 40 to 50
days. This new dredger has a four-cubic
yard dipper and can be operated in 35
feet of water. Two large barges have
also been completed at the St. John ship
yard which will be the tenders to the
dredger, used in carrying away the ma
terial. This dredger is to be used in
filling in the low lands on the East Side.
There will be contracts enough to keep
this dredger busy for the next five
years. It will take more than a year to
complete the first contract.

Schornig, who lives at 9H4 Grand avenue,

Executive of Portland. While negotiat

found he had money to pay for but eight,
so left his watch with the Italian fruit
vender as security for the balance. When
he returned with money, watch, apples

yesterday at the jail, however, that he is
on the trail of the fruitvender, and will
catch him yet. ,

SONS OF OEtfiRQE C. BOWDBN.
Geo. C. Bowden, of Little Rock, 4rk., has used Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in his family for many years, and is seldom without it in the

relief to our boys in their throat ftnd lung troubles. A few do6es of it will
ward off a threatened attack of croup, and a bad cold is quickly cured by
its use. I take pleasure in reconamending it." The prompt cures of colds
and croups effected by this prejiaration, the fact that it can always be de
pended upon, is pleasant to take and contains no opium, chloroform or
other objectionable drug, has made it a favorite with the parents of voung
children. When you have a cough or cold, try it and see for yourself what

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.
And many other painful and serious
