Interstate Commerce Commis sioners Construe Law. PATROLMEN GO HIGHER WARNING GIVEN SHIPPERS TIMBER BROKER EXONERATED DECEPTION A CRIME I. E. Maloney, C. H. Tichcnor, J. H. Price, Tom Coleman and Glenn Howell Are Promoted Lat ter From the Ranks. Reorganization of the city detective etafr is now virtually complete. Five rfiw members were appointed by the Kxecutive Board yesterday afternoon, brnlglng the quota up to within one officer of the full number allowed by Jaw. Those named are Patrick E. Ma loney, Carroli H. Tichenor. John H. Pric e, Tom Coleman and Glenn Howell. The action of the Executive Board followed the recommendation of the police committee, and the appoint ments were made without a hitch. Those so fortunate as to receive the commissions as detectives will begin drawing salaries of $115 a month at once, whereas four of them were draw ing only $100, the pay of patrolmen, while in plain clothes. Vacancies in the detective staff were occasioned by the discharge of Joe Iay, Frank J. Snow, Joseph F. Resiug. 1 G. Carpenter and A. G. Vaughn, by order of Mayor Lane, 18 months ago, nd by the resignation of L. C. Hart man. No appointments were mado to 1111 these places until yesterday, be cause the former officers have been lighting for reinstatement and back salaries, and it was unknown whether or not they would succeed. It being generally agreed that they cannot now regain their positions, it was deemed wise to name officers to take their places. The most surprising feature of the appointments lies In the fact that Glenn Howell, one of the appointees, has never done plain-clothes duty, ex cept on special occasions, when de tailed by Captain Bailey, under whom lie has been working as a patrolman. It had been thought that none but those who have been acting as detec tives would be named for promotion. Howell has been a member of the po lice force but one year, all of that time serving on the second relief, com manded by Captain Bailey. He has been a vigilant officer, but has never performed any work of unusual char acter. All the others have been working as acting detectives. Patrick Maloney has served as a member of the plain clothes staff for several months and has shown marked ability. C. H. Tichenor has served for more than a year. John Price has served about the same length of time, while Tom Cole man has been working as a plain clothes man for about five months. He was appointed as a patrolman a few days previous to that time, but had served on the force during past admin istrations. II. H. Hawley and C. R. Hellyer were the two detectives of which the de partment could boast prior to yester day afternoon since the discharge of the old detectives. There is one va cancy now, as the law provides for eight detectives. Chief of Police Gritzmacher said last night that other officers, who have been working as- plain-clothes men for n long time, will continue as such, as they are required to handle the large amount of work coming up all the time for attention. These are Acting retectives Kay, Kienlen, Smith, In Kkeep, and Aldcn. The latter acta -as elerkto Captain of Detectives Bruin. Kay and Kienlen are the Chinatown officers, and Smith looks after pawn Fhops. Inskeep does regular criminal Investigation duty. Detective Ser geants Baty and Jones will continue 1 as plain-clothes officers, at least for the present. SEVEN DIVORCES GRANTED JUDGE BROXAVGH ALLOWS ALL DECREES BY DEFAULT. Court Withholds Its Decision In Suit or Ella X. Bradford Against It. P. Bradford. Seven divorces were granted by State Circuit Court Judge Bronaugh yesterday morning, three to husbands and four to wives. An eighth case was heard, but as no evidence was at hand to corrobo rate the testimony of the wife, it was continued to allow the court to look up the authorities on the subject of decrees granted on the testimony of the plaintiff only. This was the case of Ella N. Brad ford, who said that her husband. Ran dall P. Bradford, carried on a clandes tine correspondence with a woman named Delia, until Mrs. Bradford opened a mysterious letter one day and discovered that her spouse was planning, to elope. Mrs. Bradford testified yesterday that her husband flew into a rage when given the letter, and left home. That was last February. The wife said she last heard from him when he was at Salt Iakc City, receiving a card saying he was well. The Bradfords were married in San Francisco. September 15, 1001. and were living in Salem at the time of the separa tion. Ina Stepp testified that her husband. Joshua Stepp. had lived with her 6 years when, in 19V. he said he wanted to go to Alaska. Mrs. Stepp said she told him that If he went it would be for good, as he had left home twice before. Stepp, she thinks, is in Portland now, but is planning to return to the North. This case went by default, as did all the others. Divorces were also granted John Wilson from Maud P. Wilson, on ground of in fidelity: Mary K. Wilkins from M. T. Wilkins. non-support: Nell ThornhiH . from William Jay Thornhill. drunken ness and cruelty; A. J.

Dn Puis on December 11, last, pleaded not guilty before Judge Cleland. of the Circuit Court, yester day. The trial was set for hearing March . Du Puis was shot in a sa loon brawl. Dudley Beamer. who was charged with stealing a gold watch and other jewelry from Julia Flory on October 15. last year, withdrew his plea of not guilty yesterday before Judge Cleland, W J. Cook Acquitted on Charge of Swindling Mrs. Kobidcau. Mrs. M. Robideau, who brought suit against W. J. Cook, a local timber broker, for $150, on the charge of de frauding her of that amount by locat ing her on a worthless timber claim In Malheur County, lost her case f n the West Side Justice Court yesterday. The case was tried before Justice Reid, and the verdict in favor of Cook was re turned in less than 5 minutes by a jury composed of F. D. Spencer. A. Chal mers. Charles Michel and W. D. Wheel wright. In defense. Cook declared that Mrs. Robideau had not been victimized in any way. He asserted that the land she had filed on was the same that was shown her when she made the trip to Eastern Oregon, and further intro duced evidence to show that since Mrs. Robideau had released the claim an option had been taken on It at $2500. "Mr. Cook sent Mrs. Robideau to Eastern Oregon with the agreement that if she did not file on the claim he would pay the expenses of the trip," said C. N. Idleman, Mr. Cook's attor ney, last night. "If Mrs. Robideau de cided to take the claim, she was to pay $150 for being located. "The brother and sister of a friend of Mrs. Robideau had taken claims In the same vicinity, and they located her after Mr. Cook had sent her to East ern Oregon. She filed on the land and paid Mr. Cook $150. Then, five months later, Mrs. Robideau got the impres sion that the land was worthless and released it. She brought suit against Mr. Cook for the return of $150, al though the option taken shows that the claim is now worth $2500. "Several of Mrs. Robideau's rela tives were also thinking of bringing suit against Mr. Cook, but her case was the best that they have, and no doubt the cases will be dropped. The suit was a great injustice to Mr. Cook, as was shown by the verdict." PURCHASER SETS UP FRAUD Mrs. S. J. Corcoran Sues on Lodging-House Deal. Four old cups without handles, two cracked platters, a leaky bucket, an old dishpan, four sheets, only one of which. Is without holes, and threadbare carpets: with these, Mrs. S. J. Corcoran said yes terday on the witness stand, before Judge Bronough, of the State Circuit Court, that she was asked to keep a rooming-house. She said she tried it for two days, but that when she found a no tice from the occupants of the upstairs rooms that they were packing up to leave because of the energetic attacks of small creatures too numerous to men tion, she told Miss Francis V. Powell, from whom she obtained the furniture, that she could have it all back again. Instead of consenting to this, however, Miss Powell soon afterward filed a suit in the State Circuit Court to recover $400 damages from Mrs. Corcoran. Then Mrs. Corcoran filed a suit in equity, and the Powell suit was held in abeyance until the latter case could be decided. From the testimony yesterday before Judge Bronaugh it seems that when Mrs. Corcoran went to look at the rooming house at 427 Salmon street, then in the hands, of Miss Powell, she was shown through the house, and told that the cur tains, rugs, carpets, furniture, bedding and dishes would be sold for $650. Mrs. Corcoran testified that Miss Powell told her the house rented for $35 a month, that the two roomers upstairs paid enough to cover it and that they had been in seven months and contemplated remaining. Miss Powell also said, ac cording to Mrs. Corcoran, that there was no vermin in the house. When she came to take possession, Mrs. Corcoran asserted yesterday, the curtains, rugs covering holes in the car pet, bedding and dishes had been re moved. She also found that it would be necessary to fumigate the house and that the rent had been raised .to $40 a month. The trial is still on. M'ALLISTER'S SUIT ON TRIAL Lawyer Asks Receiver for Hospital Association of Many Names. In Judge Gantenbeln's department of the Circuit Court, the suit of B. S. J. McAllister against the American Hos pital Association, the American Hos pital & Relief Association, the Ameri can Hospital & Indemnity Association, T. W. Martindale. F. A. Jones, George D. Peters, K. A. Marshall. F. S. Smith, Max G. Cohen and W. H. Moore, is on trial. McAllister asks that the action taken by the American Hospital Asso ciation in transferring its stock to the American Hospital & Relief Associa tion be declared void, that a receiver be appointed for the American Hos pital Association, and that a certificate for 5000 shares of stock in the Hos pital Association held by Cohen be de clared void, because improperly issued without consideration. It is alleged that these shares were first issued to one Jewell, then transferred to Fred Dole, who in turn transferred them U Max Cohen. McAllister asserts that not a cent has ever been paid for this stock. . It appears that the association, which was formed to provide sick benefits for its members, was incorporated with 25.000 shares at $1 each. According to the testimony McAllister agreed to aif as attorney for the association for three years, and was to receive 1500 shares of stock. With the forming of the new association he was left out. The trial will be continued today. ALL GARMENTS AT COST Kvory Suit, Coat or Skirt in the House Today at Actual Cost Price.

Must List Freight Under True Class ification If Damages for Loss or Injury In Transit Are to Be Asked. That shippers who list freight under one classification, then seek to recover damages under another are guilty of a crime has been called to the attention of the Harrlman lines by a letter written by E. E. Clark, -a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The letter, a copy of which has reached this city, cites the statute applying to the subject, and was written by Mr. Clark with the concurrence of the en tire commission. In part it follows: The question of an expression by the Com mission concerning the existence of several different classification rates on the same com modity of different values or shipped under release or common carrier's liability, baa been given the consideration of the Commission as a whole, and I am authorized to say that in its opinion where a shipper consigns his freight on a declared valuation, thereby se curing a lower rate of transportation, and later undertake to collect damages in con nection with that shipment on a basis of a higher value than that originally stated, he commits an act that is prohibited in the third paragraph of section 10 of the act to regulate commerce, as amended. The Commission is further of the opinion that If a carrier recognized In the settlement of a claim for damages a valuation higher than that which was the basis of securing the transportation rate. It and its officers would thereby violate the provision of the law. This decision, according to Assistant General Freight Agent Skinner, is not generally known by shippers, and many cases arise Involving the point. There is frequently an advantage in rate to be gained by shipping goods under a lower valuation" than their true worth. When claims for damages arise, however, the shippers often seek to recover for the full value of the goods. This action, the letter vnakes clear, is not only illegal, but tha pay ment of the rat by the railroad would also be illegal. There are not a great many com modities shipped under classification, according to value, but the cases that arise are often important. Liquors and furniture are two lines that are usual ly classed in .this way. The letter from Mr. Clark was forwarded to the Har riman officials here for use in connec tion with local disputes that have arisen.

DEFENDS BAKER PLAYERS "Writer Says Miss Barney and Mr. Webb Are Unjustly Attacked. PORTLAND, Jan. 24. (To the Editor.) My sense of Justice and fair pla prompt! me to voice my protest against what seems to me. an unprejudiced observer, a most unwarranted and vicious attack by the Baker Theater management upon Mlsa Barney and Mr. Webb. I have no desire to discuss personalities and I doubt not that Mr. Baker may be well within his legal rights in terminating his contract with these persons, but nothing short of a flagrant violation of the criminal code could juntlfy a man in thus attacking, through the public press, those who are leaving his empioy. I wish to say, further, that I regard the present leading man and woman of the Baker Company as by far the best that that company has presented to the public during my four years' residence In this city, and this opinion I know to be shared by a large proportion of Portland play-goers, if not by the majority of Mr. - Baker's pa trons; and Anally. I desire to congratulate and commend both Mr. Webb and MIps Barney on their brave and dignified bearing at last night's performance In the face of mot trying circumstances.

"The present is an ideal time for spraying rose bushes, but If the -work of planting and pruning was not done in November, it should be delayed untl the- first week in March." This statement was made by Frederick V. Holman last night in reply to a query as to the proper time for pruning and setting out new plants. "If one could be sure of the weather said Mr. Holman, "now would be as good a time as any for planting and pruning; but we are apt to have some very cold weather be tween now and the first of March. Those who undertake' to prune at this time run the risk of having their plants Winter-killed. February is al ways an uncertain month, and I should not advise setting out new plants be; fore March at the earliest. "Just now is an excellent time for spraying for scale, if there is any in dication of it. Tou can use a strong er solution now, as the new growth is not far enough advanced to be in jured by the chemical." Moser Resolution Affirmed.. Ten of the 16 Republican permanent CoughCoIds CROUP.

C0MPLETE-H0U5E-FURIIMER5I h root attorn It MOP j committeemen of the Eighth Ward held a meeting last night in the offices of R. C. Wright in the Dekum building. The resolution passed some time ago by the committees approving the candidacy of Gus C. Moser for District Attorney, was ratified. Not only did a majority of those present refuse to rescind the previous action in Moser's case, but a resolution was passed pledging the committeemen to watch all candidates, whether new or old, and measure them by the same standard as they did Moser. If the can didates do not meet with their approval they will be rejected. The meeting was called tor the pur pose of taking up the Moser resolution, and a motion wa3 introduced to rescind the action of the committeemen. The ten Republicans present spent more than an hour discussing the resolution, but when It was put to a vote it was lost. The Eighth Ward precinct committee men declared they will carry the fight into the meeting of the City and County Republican Committee, which is scheduled for next Tuesday night. Richard Deich, president of the precinct committeemen, presided at the meeting. Mr. Moser, when informed of the action of the Eighth Ward precinct committee men, said last night that majority of the ward committeemen in the city would adopt resolutions favoring his candidacy, if such action were not contrary to the spirit of the primary law.
