BOTH SIDES DETERMINED Longshoremen's Union to Aid Pros ecution Suitlcr Wants to nold ( Ofr Trial Vntil After the June Election. Patroiman Nathan Sultter, who killed TTenry Shaffer last Sunday, is negotiat ing for the services of Attorneys John M. Logan and Dan J. Malarkey to defend him at his forthcoming trial on the charge of second degree murder. He has said. too. that he will seek to have his trial postponed until after the coming election, even if that does entail his lying In Jail for several months. : Siiitter intends to fight hard for his liberty, claiming that he is -wrongly de tained for performing his duty. He says the man he killed was a notorious brute and wife beater a man who had been publicly thrashed at the whipping post for wife beating. Tt will furthermore be his contention that his life was in dan ger when he fired on a man twice his 'Z, who was assaulting him even after being warned that death would be the penalty. The prosecution, on the other hand, will be waged in earnest and special pros ecutors are to be secured by the Long shoremen's Union and by German people who are interested in the case because of Shaffer's nationality. It is known that very effort will be put forth to secure the policeman's conviction. Suitier complains that political consid erations are, playing a considerable role "f in his summary treatment. When taken to the Municipal Court yesterday forenoon to testify against the seven men arrested for disorderly conduct at the time of the killing. Shaffer said it was only wast ing time, since it was a foregone con clusion that the accused men wf lid be dismissed in the fact of public sftiment over the kilting. Testimony of neighbors and persons present at the fatal birthday party was heard and they admitted there was con siderable noise dancing, shuttling of feet and clapping of hands when the officers called on the people and requested them to be more qulsji. It waa denied, however, that this conduct, even on Sunday nighl. could be termed disorderly. It was gen erally denied that the party had been drinking to excess. Judge Cameron dismissed th cases against the seven men, saying he believed, from the testimony that those present at the Shaffer home were making no more noise than is usual to a social affair of that kind.

PORTUAXD. March 6. (To the Editor.) Tha cultured American of these cul tured times may find himself asking his cultured self: "What the devil ails our public men?" It is a profound query and profoundly will I endeavor to fathom it. Our public men are too pert. Among the ancients adolescence vaa not a concomi tant In the serious direction of govern ment. Acuteness. rather, was the domi nant attribute. Our public men are too gay: they pounce on opportunity of the alluring kind, pounce off again to pounce on again to the next fair flower, like a pouncing bee in a garden of loveliness. Unlike the bee, they extract no honey, for honey and government don't mix. Some dreamers have it that opportunity comes but once in the span of human life. Bosh! Nonsense! To one kind of a bunch it comes as often as there is a drink in sight; to those of nobler tastes as often as one embraces it; but the em brace itself is the crux of the situation. Few men know how to embrace a thing without making an ass of themselves. But I say unto you that opportunity is here and that the psychological moment is trying to bore a hole through our skulls. Once inside it ought to be fer tilized and once fertilized in those moral cocklofts who are too good to be Re publicans and too pious to be Democrats, it bursts forth like a North Head blow, sweeping before it the odoriferous exhala tions of the political swill-tubs. The psychological moment is here, clanging and banging the alarm-bell of opportunity besides which Statement No. 1 looks like that fake flyspeek which sep arates U'Ren's U from U'Ren's R as a bid for the Celtic vote. All this with one qualification, to-wit: He who makes a grab at opportunity should surround himself with good advisers. Good ad visers never bump a man into one in vestigation and haul him out again to shove him into another: nor do they keep him perennially In court, nor advise such dangerous pastimes as shaking a red flag before an Irish bull. Enough sftid. Opportunity is here. Seize it. Study the psychology of the angry Irish. It is worth while. It might suggest a scien tific experiment to hypnotize the Micks again. Get next, for St. Patrick's day is approaching. Celebrate It and by cele brating it give thine enemies thine thumb to thine nose. Fail not or all is lost; carry it through and ambition's thirst for power Is satiated. Here's a programme that will make the gods crane their necks: Opening number, grand shamrock chorus by the full Municipal .League. Sam Con nell leading. "Paranoia Reforn-tatorla." : ad dross by the chairman, his Honor the Mayor, "The Evolution of a Cronpy Into an Anglo-Saxon"; Recitation, "Harry's Baby Boy." by Dick Montaue: tenor solo, "A Cushla Gal Mo Three." by Ed Deady; patri otic tocm (original). "The Ideal Ameri can: Horny-Fisted. Horny-Muscled. Horny Chested. Horny-Headed. Horny-Minded." by Hon. John P. Logan: kerry Jig, by Charley Grit-tmacher; oration. "Bruin Boru," by Hon. Tom Greene. This programme. once advertised, ought to attract a full house, it not a full police force. J. HENXF.SSY MURPHY. SNOW COVERS WHEAT LAND Condon Farmers Jubilant at Pros pects for Bnmpcr Crop. , CONDON. Or.. March S. (Special.) Six inches of snow fell in Condon and vicinity on Tuesday night, and farmers are jubilant. Early-sown Fall grain looks well and this precipitation will bring up that sown later.

Determined to ascertain by personal ob servation and inspection whether or not the Montavilia public school is under good discipline, and otherwise protected from fire and panic, J. L. Yarnell, of 210 Misner street, who has children in the school, tried a novel experiment yester day afternoon. Without warning, he pressed the electric button that rings the gong for fire drills, and the 400 pupils marched out of the building In perfect order in Just &4 seconds the same time made by the pupils of the Ladd school Thursday afternoon. After trying this experiment, Mr. Yarnell inspected the exits, and the entire building, from cel lar to garret, and later pronounced him self thoroughly satisfied with everything. Nobody knew of the presence of Mr. Yarnell in the school building. He wished to try the experiment in his own way, unknown to- any save himself. He knew that in this manner he could secure the best results, and he, therefore, went about the matter cautiously. N. W. Bowland. principal of the school, and the staff of teachers were Ignorant of Mr. Yarneil's intention to test the discipline of the corps of Instructors and the utility of the safety appliances. Therefore, It is re garded as a most creditable demonstration that the building was emptied in so short a time. Further investigation of the conditions obtaining in the public schools of Port land has developed the fact that the rules as to fire drills are well, enforced, and the rules seem stringent enough, so far as learned. City Superintendent Rig ler. in an Interview last night, said that ''there had been a lot of noise about nothing." as regards the West Side High School and the Alder-street fire escape on the third floor in "foom 20. He in spected the building yesterday and de clares that it is perfectly safe and always has been safe. "The only mistake that was made at the West Side High School building," said Superintendent Rigler, "is that the words 'fire escape' were painted on the windows of room 20, when they should never have been put there at all; it was never intended there should ,be an exit at that point. I have ordered Architect Jones to remove those words at once and they will be taken off before Monday. I also instructed T. T. Davis, principal of the school, to remove one bench from the assembly hall, and with these changes, there is no cause for complaint: in fact there never was room for any complaints of a serious nature, because the Are escape was always accessible through room 15. the proper place, and everybody in the building knew it. "Now. there are some stories going the rounds about certain school buildings hav ing some doors locked." continued Super intendent Rigler. "All there is to this is that the double doors have one door bolted, so as to keep the doors shut: none of the doors are ever locked during school hours. The fact of the matter is that our schools are all in fine condition as to safety appliances. The children are well drilled and everything is all right, or as nearly so as it is possible for con stant vigilance and care to make it." Calls on Mr. Newell to Make Good. PORTLAND. March 6. (To the Editor.) In this morning's issue of The Oregonian an item appeared under the title, "School house Doors Locked." signed by Mr. J. P. 'Newell, which contained the . following sentences: "A reliable man. whose duties require him to visit the schools frequently, in formed me that it is a common occur rence to find some of the doors locked. The Ladd. Holman and Sunnyside schools have been recent offenders in this re gard." The object of this notice is to give Mr. Newell an opportunity to make good his statements as far as they apply to Sun nyside school. ED D. CURTIS, Principal. Says Xewell's Informant Is Wrong. PORTLAND. March 6. To the Editor.) The doors of Ladd school building, through which pupils pass from the structure have never been locked during school hours. Citizen Newell's nameless citizen of alleged reliability is, in this case, notoriously unreliable. C. M. HTGGINS. Principal Ladd School. BRICK, CONCRETE OR STONE Urged in Building Xcw Schoolliouses for This City. , PORTLAND. March 5. (To the Editor.) The horror of the school fire at Coiling wood. O.. calls up the thought of what would happen should one of our tinder box school buildings catch fire. An ounce of prevention is better than many pounds of medicine given after the patient ie dead. Every school building hereafter con structed In our city should be built of concrete, brick or stone, with iron doora and window frames. And in the dangerous schoodhouses which we now have, and must use for the time, let It be the rule, rigidly enforced, that during the session of school all outside doors shall be un locked. Again, let us throw away the abominable practice of compelling all the pupils to carry out their books at fire drill, especially since the teachers go without their books or even their hats and wraps. In large Eastern cities, scholars are forbidden to take their books at fire drill. The fire drill should be practiced more and made a habit. Let every possible device be put in practice to the end of getting out quickly and in good order. Something is wrong where any school building in thia city cannot be emptied in two and one-half minutes from the moment the fire bell sounds. Let's see it done. We want no holocaust "here. J.
