Tr 1I0RNIXG OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 190S. WILL TRAVEL III LUXURIOUS STYLE Splendid Train to Carry the In land Empire Excursion ists to California. EVERY COMFORT PROVIDED Tarty Numbers COO and Portland Will Be First City Along Route to Offer Entertainment-r-Ar-rlve Hero Saturday. The last word In luxury, with modern conveniences and comforts that no other special train ever run over the Shasta Rout", from Portland to Los Angeles, ever had, the Inland , Empire Special will attract a great deal of Interest on Its way South through Portland, not only because of the commercial interest In ! the journey, but from railroad men as ' well. Under the personal direction of William . McMurray, general passenger apent for the Harriman lines in this ter ritory, not a detail has been overlooked ; to make every arrangement complete for the pleasure of the Southern Pacific's Buests. , Many things that the passenger would never think of have been provided by the company. Outside of the entertain ment to be offered the excursionists at every point on their long journey, the appointments of tho train are such that royalty itself could not excel it In luxury. The value of the palatial Pullman cars that will carry the excursion is very large. They are of the most modern and comfortable pattern. The money value represented by the train of 12 cars is over S)0,W0. Fare for the trip will cost the travelers $20,000, but it is estimated they will spend outside of this figure on the average $150 each while away, mak ing $30,000 additional. The special tele phone system installed in the' train for the convenience of passengers represents ;a value of $.m There will be a $1000 nutomatic piano on board. These figures' do not Include the wages of the 42 people on board the train, whose only duty will be to look after the comfort of the gnests of the Southern Pacific, nor the englpe crews that will haul the train on its way south. Fuel for the locomotives and cost of operation are not included in the above figures, so that the amount or money represented in this excursion frorfl Spokane to Los Angeles will total an enormous sum. There will bo 200 excursionists, and from the flrstcity they reach on their way until they arrive at the most south erly point on the trip, they will be of feror hospitality by the people. Portland proposes to be the first to extend a wel come and send the Spokane people on their way with good wishes. An elab orate entertainment is being planned for them while in the city. Flowers will be sent up the line to ine special train, and while here they will be shown about the cily and entertained at the Portland Hotel and the Commercial Club. Ashland people send word they will shower the visitors with flowers and give them cider to' drink. MCdford wants the party to leave the train at that point and take an automobile ride about the nearby country, rejoining the special train at Ashland. The special train will reach Portland on the morning of February 8, and after romaJning here all day will leave the snme night on its way south. The visitors will be furnished Wjith packages of postal cards, stamped and rcudy for mailing, each having colored views of the city and harbor. Cards are to be distributed to merchants and others for display in show windows bearing words of welcome to the visitors. At the Theaters What the Preaa Agent Say. I'RAXK .

MEN Radical Changes in Detective Staff Made. " RUMORS OF DISHONESTY Xo Official Investigation-of Keports Will Be Made, It Is Said, Owing to Their Hazy . Nature. Although no public announcement of the fact has been made at- .police head quarters, a "shake-up" In" the detective department that has set the tongues of the gossips to ' wagging busily has been made since . the first of the month. A complete rearrangement of .the detective staff has been ordered and details dis tributed to throwr certain specific duties into the hands of the several men on the staff, who will be held responsible for their respective departments of crime. Failures of . certain detectives to . con scientiously carry . out .work assigned them Is said to be responsible for the shake-up, and while no official investiga tion 'is under way. It is hinted that it is only because the evidence against them is not tangible". The shake-up came in the form of an order Issued by Captain Patrick Bruin, the head of the detective staff and in spector of police, which outlines for the future the special duties of each member of the staff. Under this order the de tective force is 80 divided that one-half of its membes are aval able for night work, which change fills a long felt want in the department. . One of the principal changes in the duties of individual detectives is that of Kay and Keinlen, formerly known as the "moral squad." These men have been relieved of this class of work and In their place Detective Hawley and Acting De tective Inskeep have been detailed. Kay and: Keinlen have been assigned to the enforcement of the liquor traffic laws and the regulation of the various forms of gambling. Detectives Price and Cole man, - who have heretofore devoted a greater portion of their time to criminal investigation, have been detailed to serve all warrants turned over to the depart ment. Detectives Hcllyer, Maloney, Jones, Tichenor, Howell, the new ap pointee, and Acting Detective Smith are assigned exclusively to criminal Investi gations. Hawley and Inskeep will have the supervision of places of disorderly char acter and these two men, together with Kay and Kienlen, who will have the supervision of gambling, will be held to strict account for the doings of . the resorts which furnish the department with its. greatest source of trouble. . The night force will consist of De tectives Hawley. Kay, Kienlen, Price, Coleman, and Acting 'Detective Inskeep, who will be under the charge of De tective Sergeant Baty in the absence of Captain Bruin. Captain Bruin, who is unable fo be present at the police station at all hours of the day and night, has arranged for his assistant. Acting De tective Alden. to be in charge of the de tective office .during his absence. While seven men are specially detailed for nipht work, they will be expected to do day duty as well in cases of emergency. Seamen's Institute Concert.

There was a larlte attendance last night at Eilers Hall . .of the chorus which, under the direction of William H.

The vocal work consists of Handel's "Messiah," Max Bruch's "Fair Ellen," and Cowen's "Skylark." Much enthusiasm is being shown by the chorus, which at present consists of about 150 voices, but it is the desire of the management . that a larger , chorus worthy of Portland be organized, one at least of 200 voices.
