Police Inspector Resigns With
Denunciation of Sham
Reformers.
Weary of being a tool
Head of Detective Department Makes
. AVrlUen statement, Savagely As
sailing Mayor l.nne and Others
of His Administration.
The storm that has been brewing In
the police department since the announce
ment of the fact that Captain Patrick
Bruin had been reduced In rank, from
police inspector to captain and trans
ferred by Chief of Police Grltzmaeher
from command of the detective staff to
command of the second night relief, be
In? replaced by Captain George H.
Bailey, broke last night when Bruin re
signed from the service and preferred
sensational charges against Mayor Lane,
Chief of Police Grltzmaeher and Police
Commissioner Thomas Greene.
Captain Bruin last night presented
to The Oregonian the written state
ment appended, dealing with certain
things having a bearing on his seduction
In rank and consequent resignation.
He. virtually charges the Mayor, Com
missioner Greene and Chief of Police
with catering to the disreputable ele
ment of the North End), says that the
protestations of reform of the Iane ad
ministration are a sham and a bluff and
Intimates that he was used as a tool by
the men higher up. He says that after
they had found that he could no longer
be of the kind of service they desired,
and that he was really In earnest and
wanted to close the dives and did not
care to be a party to an attempt to regu
late them and leave the way open for
graft, he was then kicked out in cold
blood.
More Charges to Come.
As shown in his written statement,
there appears to be something more be
hind what he now says and more sensa
tional charges will In all likelihood be
forthcoming. Owing to the lateness of
the hour Rt which Bruin prepared his
statement, he was unable to embrace all
the points he says he will bring to the
attention of the City of Portland, and
left out facts which he says he will
surely give before he is done and which
will cause the people of Portland to "sit
up and take notice."
Bruin's resignation was handed in at
the police station at 10:45 last night.
Chief Grltzmaeher was absent and Cap
tain Slover was in command at the time.
With the remark that it contained his
resignation, he placed an envelope on
Captain Slovers desk and, drawing out
of his pocket his star, manual of the
police department and keys, surrendered
them. His resignation was short and to
the point and read as follows:
"Police Committee, through the Chief:
Please accept my resignation, to take
effect at once. 10:45 P. M., February 6,
1S0S. Respectfully, Captain P. Bruin."
Immediately after handing in his resig
nation Bruin walked directly to The Ore
gonian office and prepared the written
statement, which follows:
Te.t of Statement.
"With regard, to my reasons for resign
ing from the police department I have
to say that the liquor element and dive
keepers have scored one on me. I may
say that these elements have received
substantial help from the Chief of Police
to have me reduced to the command of
the- second night relief. The fact of the
matter Is that as the Inspector of the de
partment I was in a position to know
too much. I always did my best to carry
out the instructions given me by the
Mayor, and I always thought that he
meant Just what he said but I found out
different.
"It is very plain o me that he is not as
good a reformer as he told the people ho
was during his last campaign. He ac
cused his opponent of standing in with
the North End red light element, but I
doubt very much if that was a game of
good faith.
"I do know that a divekeeper, known
as Peggy Clarke, informed me about three
'weeks ago that my official head would
drop into the reform basket within a few
days, and it almost did. I just saved my
self by the skin of my teeth. Now, how
she knew this is no mystery to me.
About six months ago I received instruc
tions from the Mayor himself to keep
away from that place and not antagonize
the 'little woman.'
Another Link in Chain.
"Another little link I may mention here.'
A man who lives at the Chief's house and
has done so for the past 17 years is a
bitter enemy of mine. At the trial of
Conrad for placing his wife in a house of
prostitution this man was in evidence de
fending Essie Watkins (Mrs. Conrad). I
made the remark at the time that I had
discovered the missing link. Some de
struction was threatened me at that time,
but was very soon dropped.
"In giving up my position on the Police
Department I feel that it is my duty to
inform the people of the City of Port
land that I have been badly fooled by
the people at the head of the present
municipal administration. T thought,
when I first came into official contact
with them that they were 'on the square
and were really for reform as they had
represented themselves to the people of
the city and at the time of their election.
"I took them seriously and entered into
the movement against the vice in this
city with a whole heart, with energy and
with the ambition to abolish It. But I
now see that I was merely used as the
tool of the people who first stood behind
me In office and that instead of being the
official I really thought I was, I wn
made the 'fall guy" and used pufely for
the purpose of furthering their own In
terests. .
Sees TCeason Xow.
"I can now see that I was ordered to
make certain kinds of arrests in which
there was a motive behind them and
when I arrived at the point where I had
some of these dive-keepers on the - hip.
and had evidence that should have put
them out of business, then Mayor Lane,
Tom Greene, Dick Montague and others
who had been anxious for me to have my
position, turned against me and showed
that their way lay with the 'interests'
and not with the sincere enforcement of
the laws against crime in this city.
"Respectfully.
(Signed) "PATRICK BRUIX."
When he had finished this statement
and requested its publication. Bruin said
that he was sorry that the hour was so
late that he could not write more, as
there were other things that he thought
the people of Portland . ought to know
and which he would tell before he was
entirely through.. He said that so far as
his position was concerned, he was now
Klad to he out of it. but that he would
not allow those higher up to get away
without a parting shot.
"Uke Mr. Heney," said Bruin, "I have
or tne ponce department. 9
1 ne ncx-usaiions are an tne veriest
rot," said he. "Bruin was removed from
his position because he was incompetent
and a man placed In tne position who Is
capable of performing the duties. Bruin's
statements are nonsensical. I know of
my own knowledge that Mayor Lane r.nd
Commissioner Greene have been more
active and earnest in their desire to fight
down the. kind of resorts that he refers
to than Bruin was. There is no com
pact of any kind with the dive-keepers.
That is ridiculously and absolutely false.
"Bruin's whole position is one of cheap
theatrical posing and there is not the
slightest semblance of truth in what he
says regarding me."

BOARD IS NOT JUST
Mrs. B. H. Fisher Resents Its
Order of Dismissal.
NOT THE ONLY OFFENDER
Schoolteacher Dropped lYorn Rolls
After Marriage Intimates That
Others Higher Up Are Equal
ly Guilty of Deception. .
Mrs. B. H. Fisher, who Iras just been
dismissed by the Board of Education as
teacher In the Stephens School, because
of her marriage, which was kept secret
for a year, is not accepting the action of
the directors without protest. She believes
that the Board has not treated her fairly
in the matter. Not only does she think
that there was no good reason for drop
ping her from the teaching staff, but
she adds that the Board is either ignorant
of. or is Ignoring, many other and more
flagrant cases of deception on the part of
teachers.
"Deception in keeping knowledge of my
marriage from -the Board is, I understand,
the ground given for my dismissal." said
Mrs. Fisher yesterday. "In this connec
tion I want to say Uiat worse deception
Is practiced daily among the teachers and
that principals are among those guilty.
It seems to me that if the Board is going
to dismiss those guilty of deception, It
would be proper for it to begin at the
top."
Mrs. Fisher declines to say at this time
In just what way deception is being prac
ticed In the schools. She declares, how
ever, that she has the facts and is pre
pared to prove her statements to the

Board. . If the directors do not seek to
investigate the matter further, she " at
least is determined that it shall no be
dropped at this stage and proposes to tell
the Board what she knows.
. Mrs. Fisher's Statement.
"1 do not deny that I violated my con
tract last year by marrying." said Mrs.
Fisher. In commenting further upon her
dismissal. "If it had beecome known then
that I was married and the directors had
dropped me from the teaching corps, I
should not have considered that I was so
badly mistreated. I have taught this
year under a new contract and have not
violated it.- There seems to be no good

reason why the Board should drop me
now. simply because I am married.
"If the directors were consistent in re
fusing employment in the schools to all
married women, It might be different,
but they are not. Among the married
women now teaching in the schools are
Mrs. Burnham, Mrs. Richards, Mrs. Pat
ton. Mrs. Kvans, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs.
Altman and perhaps others. Of these
Mrs. Evans. Mrs. Patton and Mrs. Alt
man were employed at a . later date
than I.
"I was married in December, 1906, but
my wedding was not announced, until
December, last. Then the directors asked
me to resign, but I refused to do so. I
told them that I could see no reason wly
I .should- resign when other women were
allowed to teach. They knew my po
sition In the matter then and could have
dismissed me at the end of the term, if
they had desired to do so. Insteal they
waited until the term was well under way
and then abruptly notified me last night
that my services would not be needed
longer.
Gets Little Satisfaction.
"Superintendent Rigler and the directors
have admitted to me that they found no
fault with my teaching. One of them said
that I had fooled them in regard to my
marriage and that people do not like to
be fooled. That was about as satisfac
tory an explanation as I could get. On
this ground they have let me out sum
marily, although they had not a compe
tent teacher to put In my place. The
ninth grade in the Stephens school, which
I have taught, has been supplied with
an inexperienced pupil teacher, who holds
only a primary" certificate and who, ac
cording to the state law, can draw no
pay for this work.
"I feel that I have been discriminated
against and I Intend to give the direct
ors facts in my possession which will
show whether they are as ready to act
against those higher up in the schools as
they were to act against me."

Husband Tells of Tragedy.
It was ot until several hours later
that Kluro was able to tell consistently
of the tragedy. Then he set out to deny
the impression given by Durrell regard
ing Mrs. Klum. The husband, who is
a butcher employed in a shop on Mis
sissippi avenue, talked freely of the af
fair after leaving his wife's side at the
Good Samaritan Hospital last night.
"That man has tried to make trouble
between us for the past two years," he
said. "He has been hanging about the
house, and at one time roomed with Mrs.
Klum's sister. But my wife had nothing
to do with him, except to be friendly.
What he says about her bejng at a rooming-house
for three days with him and
promising not to come back to me is not
true. My wife has been ill at home for
the past two weeks and I can prove It. I
I believe in her and am going to stick by
her in this afTair. She has done nothing
wrong. That fellow simply lost his head
over her and did the shooting because he
couldn't get her to leave home and go
with him.
Murderer Says Xot a Word.
"We were .just across the street fom
home whenNhe shot her. As we left the
house I saw Durrell across the street on
the corner but thought nothing about
him. As we walked up past the Norton la
I heard the shot fired. That was the first
I knew of his purpose. Then he fired two
more shots. He didn't say a word. After
he put the gun against his stomach and
shot himself he turned It on me. I
stepped back and said 'Don't do that."
The gun snapped and he sort of looked
Into the barrel and fired It again sou that
it went off In the air. He didn't say a
word to either one of us."
Eyewitnesses of the shooting say they
did not see the gun snapped on the hus
band and the police suggested last night
that Durrell's letter and conduct indicated
he intended killing only Uie woman and
himself. Klum Is positive, however, that
an attempt was made on his life, and
Bince the incident occurred in a few fleet
ing seconds and the eyewitnesses were
more or less excited, it is probable his
story is correct.
Durrell's farewell letter not only Rives
a vivid insight into the tortures that
haunt the primrose path, but ends with
a pointed suggestion .for improvement of
the city's morals. He said that the al
lowing of women in saloons Is responsible
for many unhappy homes. The letter fol
lows, in full:
Durrell's Farewell Letter.

Durrell Succumbs to Wounds.
Examination of the wounded couple at
the Good Samaritan Hospital at 3:40
showed that they were In a serious con
ditior.. Durrell was thought to have the
best chance of surviving the night. The
self-inflicted ball entered the left side of
his, abdomen and ranged upward, parsing
out through the back. The woman's
spine was struck and she had another
wound In the left forearm. Durrell died
shortly before 7 o'clock. His body was
removed by Coroner Finley.
Durrell had lived in Oregon all his 1 life.
He was born near Woodburn, where his
aged father and mother now live. He
practically deserted his family at
Gresham two years ago. Besides a wife,
there are six girls, two of them mar
ried. The youngest Is little more than a
baby. The persons named in his farewell
letter are brothers and sister. The fellow
traded horses and worked at odd jobs.
Mrs. Klum was about 32 years old and
with her husband had lived in Portland
Xor several years past.
Council Authorizes the Park
Board to Employ New
Superintendent.
THREE DISSENTING VOTES
Citizens and Representatives df
Commercial Bodies on' Hand to
Request Favorable Action Su-j
perintendent Monteith Talks.
By a vote of 11 to 3, with one member
absent, the City Council yesterday after
noon authorized the Park Board to em
ploy Emil T. MIsche as superintendent of
parks at a salary of $2500 a year. Large
delegations were present from the Cham
ber of Commerce and the Commercial
Club to request action that would enable
the improvement of the parks to be car
ried forward as desired by the Board, and
after lengthy dts-eussion and a complete
hearing of all sides of the controversy
this was done. The only members oppos
ing were Councilmen Bennett, Belding and
Concannon. Wills, was absent. Those vot
ing in favor were: Councilmen Annand,
Baker. Cellars. Cottel. Driscoll, Dunning,
Kellaher. Menefee, Rushlight, Vaughn
and Wallace.
During the hearing C. W. Hodson. pres
ident of the Commercial Club: S. H.
Gruber. representing the Chamber of
Commerce; I. Lan?. of the Park Board:
Superintendent Monteith and some of the
members of the Council spoke. Mr. Gru
ber's remarks carried an implied threat
that any Councilman voting against the
passage of the ordinance "would later
hear from the people," and Councilman
Bennett took exception to the statement.
Mr. Bennett, in a heated retort, declared
himself strictly opposed to paying so high
a salary to Mr. MIsche, and said he did
not care who knew It; that he would vote
against the ordinance and take the con
sequences. He charged, that the delega
tions present were .there "just because
some one asked them to be,' and said
most of them did not care what action
was taken!
Herman Wittenberg and others replied
to Mr. Bennett, saying he was much mis
taken; that they were there because they
wanted the Park Board to be given power
to carry out its parking system and make
the city more beautiful.
President Hodson, of the Commercial
Club, said that the business interests of
the city want the parks improved and the
system developed so that it will be sec
ond to none in the country. He said that
the details should be cared for by the
Park Board, but urged the Council to as
sist by voting the proper appropriation.
Councilman Rushlight, chairman of the
committee on ways and means of the
Council, explained that. It was thought by
the members of the committee and by the
entire Council, when the appropriations
were made, that the park fund was satis
factory. He said the Council had no Inti
mation that the Park Board intended en
gaging' a new superintendent at 2500 a
year, as there was nothing in the esti
mate of the Board to signify such an in
tention. Arthur D. Monteith, the present super
intendent of parks, made a heated speech
in which he charged the Mayor and the
members of the Park Board with "turn
ing down" every recommendation he had
made. He said that the Mayor and the
Board violated the charter by holding a
secret meeting, at which they engaged a
new man for the office, and said that the
first he knew of the employment of Emil
T. Mische was when he read of it in The
Oregonian. Mr. Monteith said he thought
himself fully as capable as Mr. Mische,
and declared that the Park Board had not
given time for Mr. Monteith to prove his
ability. He said all he wished is a
"square deal.
1. Lang, a member of the Park Board,
explained the attitude of the Board, and
said that it was planned to make Mr.
Monteith park engineer at a salary of
J1SO0 a year, wlven Mr. Miehe takes charge
of affairs as superintendent.
Councilman Baker made it clear that
the Council had granted the request of
the Park Board as It understood prior
to this session of the Council, and Mr.
Baker declared that it was needless for
the lane number of business and profes
sionai men to come to the City Hall, as
they had, to request the Council to do for
the Park Board what It had all along sup
posed had been done.
After every one else had finished their
remarks. Mayor Lane took occasion to
say that the service rendered by Mr. Mon
teith had not been satisfactory to the
Park Board, and said it was necessary to
have a new superintendent.

There is one sure way to secure and

trouble as men, which fact is often
overlooked.
Many women's complaints often
prove to bo nothing else but kidney
trouble, or the result of kidney or
bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they will cause the other
organs to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with
pain in the back, bearing-down feel
ings, headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri
table and maybe despondent; it makes
any one so.
But thousands of irritable, nervous,
tired and broken-down women have re
stored their health and strength by the
use of Swamp-Root, the great Kidney,
Liver and Bladder Remedy.
Swamp-Root brings new life and ac
