BRUIN MAY FIGHT
FOR HIS POSITION
Will Not Surrender Command
of Police Detectives,
Friends Say.
IS UNDER CIVIL SERVICE
Therefore, His Supporters Allege,
Chief Gritzmacher's Attempt to
Make Him Relief Captain
Cannot Be Effeetive.
That Captain of Police Bruin Intends
to resist the recent order of Chief of
Police Gritzmacher, which deprives him
of the command of the detective bureau,
and assigns him to the second night re
lief, heretofore commanded by Captain
George H. Bailey, who, by the same or
der, is placed in charge of the secret
service branch, is the belief of many per
sons familiar with police department af
fairs. ,
The order, Issued by the chief, was
posted Frjday night, and was lo have
gone into effect Saturday. Captain Bruin
has not yet reported for duty under the
order, and at the request of the chief.
Captain Bailey will retain command of
his relief until Bruin's decision is made.
Captain Bailey has undertaken the task
of rearranging the beats as provided in
the chief's order.
At headquarters it Is given out that
Captain Bruin is merely taking a layoff
the few days as yet remain of his annual
vacation, and during that time is having
a captain's uniform made; while captain
of detectives, he was not required to
wear one. But a persistent rumor is that
he intends to contest removal as captain
of detectives. It is said that Captain
Bruin will contend that the chief exceeded
his authority when he placed him In com
mand of a relief, and will likely main
tain his right under Civil Service rules
to the office of inspector of police with
the rank of captain, which position was
created at the time he took the exam
ination. The city charter, however, does not pro
vide for an inspector of police. Neither
does it provide for the rank of sergeant,
yet there are three sergeants drawing
$1 15 a month.
Is Under Civil Service.
In Captain Bruin's case it Is maintained
that he was legally appointed captain of
police, and that at the time of his ap
pointment the special office of Inspector
of police was created for him by the
executive board. Therefore it is held he
cannot be removed, unless for cause, and
furthermore, that if there Is a cause, he
would have to be dismissed from the de
partment. Captain Bruin's friends also
assert that he has made a good and ef
ficient officer and that his removal is
not Justified.
Chief Gritzmacher contends that the
ihfliiff, xvaa mnHa fnr the ffnnri of the
service, which is construed to mean that j
the head of the department believes bet
ter results will be accompllshd by having
Captain Bailey in charge of the detective
branch.
There is another rumor equally per
sistent which has it that this move on
the part of the chief Is merely a pre
liminary toward the ousting of Captain
Bruin from the department. Ever since
Bruin entered the department there has
been more or less friction. His right to
the position has been contested on several
occasions but each time he won. During
these attempts to oust him Mayor L-ane
stood loyally by him, and when it be
came known that the order transferring
Bruin to the command of a relief had
. been issued considerable surprise was ex
pressed, for it was generally believed that
he would remain In his original position.
Bruin Not to Be Found.
Captain Bruin could not be found last
night and his stand in the matter can-not-be
definitely stated. But as some of
his best friends have quietly Intimated
that he would make a fight before he ac
cepts the chief's dictum it is believed
that he will appeal to the executive board,
and' probably to courts in case the head
of the department is upheld.
Captain Bruin was appointed to the
position of captain of police in Novem
ber. l9fto. having taken the Civil Service
examination which was held to select
" two police captains. He and Captain
Slover, who now commands the first night
relief, were successful. The other officers
taking the examination at that time were
Sergeant T. W. Taylor and Patrolmen
George Quinlan. John A. Lee and O. F.
Isaakson. The first three named have
since resigned from the department and
the latter has been discharged.
What steps Captain Bruin will take, if
any. in the matter, will be known defi
nitely within a few days.

Mrs. Duniway Says Coroner
Obeyed Higher Law.
REFERS TO ROWLAND CASE
Speaker Deplores Double ' Crimes
, Which Meet With Vicarious Pun
ishment and for Which the
Lesser Offender
Suffers.
Mrs. Abigail Scott-Duniway, in accept
ing an Invitation to speak before the spir
itualists' association in Alisky Hall last
night, being given a' choice of subjects,
chose for her theme "It Is Condition and
Not Theory That Confronts Us." She said
In part:
I know It Is the fashion to sneer at women
who read the court notes as published In the
newspapers. Nevertheless, wise women will
GltANDSOIV OF THE FOUNDER
LAWYER OF ITHACA, N. Y.
read and carefully consider whatever Is aald
in the papers concerning court eocenes or trials
that affect women, who, whatever may be
their guilt or innocence, are haled before
judges and juries who are not of their sex, and
therefore not their peers.
"Go forth, my son," said an eminent chan
cellor, "and behold with what little wiadom
the T.-orld is governed." It is not neoeseary
in these reportorial days for women to attend
court in person; and unless their personal
friends are on trial, to whom they are drawn
by ties of affinity or consanguinity, women, as
a rule, will keep away from such scenes;
though I sorrowfully admit that there are ex
ceptions among both sexes, who seek every pos
sible opportunity -to feed upon mental and moral
carrion, especially If ihtj- have no other motive
than to cater to their own morbid curiosity.
it la a condition and not a theory that con
fronts us today. It Is a condition In- which
members of the mother half of our common
humanity are too often the victims of cir
cumstances which nune but women, them
teltts being mothers, are able to adjudicate.
So intent are our people upon the rush,
strife and struggle of this work -a-day world
that seldom, unless stirred into -activity by
the discovery of some, to ua, immoral tragedy,
does that great homogeneous, yet widely dif
ferentiated mass v4 the human family, known
in general terms as "the ieuple," and In gov
ernment and law-making as "the men," pause
in the pursuit of ile widely divergent alms, to
take official notice of such apecial tragedies
as are all being enacted under conditions of
successful concealment, but occasionally com
ing to the surface.
Refers to Recent Tragedy.
Quite recently the public pre.se has been
reeking with accounts of a tragedy in which
a humane undertaker and funeral director, in
whose breast the fires of a higher law than
man can make burst -temporarily into flame
and so far transcended hfs oath, of office that
he attempted to take advantage of a condi
tion and not a theory, hoping, by so doing, to
shield a family skeleton from the public gaze.
This act, which led the divinity within the
man higher than "that human imperfection
called the law" hast subjected him to censure.
but has not revoked that higher law which
Jesus of Nazareth understood when he said
to the i woman, who alone was haled before
him under the single charge of a double
crime, "Neither do 1 condemn thee; go, and
sin no more."
When euch a tragedy as the one under con
sideration comes to light, the public conscience
is temporarily aroused and smitten: and well
merited punishment is meted out to such
guilty parties as are caught and convicted.
When we are told, through the papers, that a
disgraced and murdered young mother of an
unborn babe has, through her lonely vicarious
atonement for a double sin, brought shame,
bereavement and sorrow upon her stricken
family, and learn through the, same -sources
that an honored public officer has subjected
himself to censure by trying- to obey the
Golden Rule, Isn't it about time o arouse the
public conscience? Who can fathom the
subtle, mysterious power, known to science
as the reproductive Instinct, which, meaning
Infinitely more to an untaught girl than any
man who takes advantage of It can under
stand, compels her, in her hour-of darkness,
temptation and suffering, to go down Into
the valley and shadow of death to pay, alone,
a double penalty for which, in the very na
ture of things, she could not, in her youth
and inexperience, have been the aggressor?
And who should blame her if she commits an
other crime to hide the first one 7 What won
der that such a girl should, in her peril, seek
the aid of some brute In human form to shield
hr. always for a consideration, from the con
sequences of a sin she would die to conceal?
I. there no balm in Gllead? Is there no
physician there?
Yes, yes; there is hope not for her in
dividual case, perhaps: for conditions have not
yet adjusted themselves to theories; but the
public conscience is being aroumd. Clergymen,
editors and officers of the law sire awaking
to a ar-nse of duty. Public institutions are
multiplying, the human conscience is soften
ing, snd at no distant day the wives
and mothers of Oregon will be led by the
noble husbands, fons and fathers of the land
to hold In execration, not only the fiends In
human shape to whom betrayed andt desperate
girls apply for refuge which always ends In
single and sometimes in double murder, but
they will seek out and punish, as they de
serve, the prime offenders who forsake their
prey. ''More and more." said the speaker, "as
the exigencies of trade snd the necessities of
industry drive young girls from the protection
of home to the marts of the wave-earner will
a change in both condition and - theories be
come necessary.
-r Duties of Mothers.
The mother is derelict in duty who doea not
teach her your.g- and Innocent children all she
knows herself concerning the mysteries of life.
No child should bo left to the tender mercies
of the street to learn tlifse myateriea. Knowl
edge is power. Ignorance Is the innocent young
girl or bqt'0 worst enemy.
"Bu what of a certain celebrated case now
being- aired In the courts and through the
papers, under our very noses?" asked a friend
as 1 was coming down the street. To this I
answered and I repeat it now. "The cases1 are
not parallel. A once Innocent and Ignorant
girl, shorn of all her Irtnocence and much of
her ignorance In the awful achool of betrayal,
becomes an awful avenger, of whom all men
should beware. Retribution is an Irrevocable
law of nature, 'With what measure ye meted
It shall be measured to you again " salth
Holy Writ.
The speaker told of a certain man
named Davis whom the papers, said had
been convicted of pawning-an old accor
deon that didn't belong to him "to get
money to eat on,"- for which offense he
was sent to the rockpile for six months,
leaving his wife in. a delicate condition
.and penniless. "Who was punished for
that husband's offense," asked Mrs. Duni
way. "Certainly not the man Davis, for
he is certain of food and shelter. But
what of the wife and prospective mother?
Is "her condition a mere theory?"
In summing up her address, which was
interspersed with many anecdotes, the
speaker paid a glowing tribute to the
chivalry and patriotism of the men of
Oregon, who. she said, initiated another
equal suffrage campaign, preparatory to
the next step in their chivalrous career,
when she was sure that they, as sons
of women, would invite the mothers of
the state to accept their rightful and
equal station in the larger home, the
government of the commonwealth. -1

- The goodness of Schlitz is due largely to them.
But the supremacy of Schlitz as a home beer has
been gained by the fact of its absolute purity.
Purity is not so conspicuous as some qualities in
beer, yet it is very expensive. That is why it is rare.
But what does it matter how good a beer is if it is
not a pure beer? If, its use is unhealthful? If its

able addition to the pitching staff. The

himself worth more money than has been

anxious to meet the Texan's exorbitant
