THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY. JULY 10, 190S. 15 DETECTIVES' CASE T Gritzmacher Opposes Putting Joe Day on a Beat in Uniform. DAY WOULD BALK ANYWAY Commissioners Criticised for Alleged Arbitrary Tactics la Keftising Postponement Greene Him self Presides at Hearing. Testifying before the police oom mlttee of the Executive Board at the City Hall last night. Chief of Police Gritzmacher, answering a question by Attorney Logan, declared that it was not in his judgment for the best inter ests of the service to put Detective Joe ray on a beat in uniform. The Chief's Ideas on this matter conflict with the orders of Commissioners Greene and Babln. who "suggested" that Day and three others be ordered into uniforms and put on patrol duty. The officers refused to do this, under advice from counsel, and were again cited to ap pear for a hearing. Insubordination and refusal to obey orders were the charges. After two hours of taking testimony, hearing objections by Attorney Logan and Wolfe, who appeared in the ab sence of the regular counsel, Ralph E. Jioody, Commissioners Greene and Sa bln last night took the case under ad visement. They steadfastly refused to postpone the hearing, although Chair man Greene admitted that he knew be fore preferring these latest charges that Mr. Moody .was to leave the city on a trip to Texas, and would, there fore, be unable to represent his clients, whose cause he has championed for two years, since they were discharged by the Executive Board. Chief Gritzmacher, it is declared by Attorneys Logan and Wolfe, is in con tempt of court, since he took the stand last night and testified in the case wherein Detective Day 1b defendant, inasmuch as the Chief was enjoined from doing anything further toward carrying out the recent order to put Day and the others in uniform. The injunction Is still pending in the Cir cuit Court. Did It Because lie Had To. Chief Gritzmaclier's sworn testimony clearly showed that he is out of i, sym pathy with the proceedings and with the orders of the police committee in order derlng Detectives Day, Reslng, Snow and Carpenter Into uniform as patrolmen, and he so stated, in effect, by saying that he simply obeyed what he regarded as a direct order to force them to don the hlue cloth and brass buttons of the patrolman, "suggested" by the commis sioners. -The Chief swore that Joe Day is one of the most competent detectives In America and a most valuable man as (uch. but said that, under the written "suggestions" of the commissioners to put Day and the others in uniform, he was obliged to carry out the order. There was much adverse comment among the large number of persons at tending the session last night as to the manner In which Commissioners Greene and Sabin overruled the petitions of counsel for a -postponement of 10 days, until Mr. Moody could return, and the fact that Commissioner Greene, the au thor of the charges, sat as presiding of ficer at the hearing. That an unfair advantage was taken of the defendants seemed to he the general belief, and it is certain that, if the commissioners re port In favor of the discharge of the four officers, the case will be appealed to the Civil Service Commission. What Pay Will and Won't Do. . None of the accused officers except De tective Day took the stand. He testi fied to his many years of service in the department, on direct examination, and when asked by Commissioner Greene If he would be willing to report at head quarters and perform whatever service might be ordered by the Chief. Day re plied very emphatically that he would work only as a detective in plain clothes, and not In uniform. "I positively will not work except as a detective in plain clothes," said Detective T)ay. "I have served 27 years as a de tective, and I will not lie to you; I will tell you right now that I will not stand to be humiliated." Detectives Reslng and Carpenter were present, but did not testify, except that Mr. Resing said he was very sorry the case was pushed to a hearing without the presence of Mr. Moody, who had guarded tho interests of the four officers for two years and who alone Is familiar with all of the details of the case. Reslng said ho might be willing to work in uniform, but in the absence of Mr Moody de clined to commit himself. Commissioners Greene ana Sabln ex cused themselves for the arbitrary rulings and the forcing of the case to a hearing without the regular attorney for the de fense present, on the ground that this is a new case; that it has nothing to do with the old cases, which have been drag ping along for two years and that the Commissioners have no personal feelings whatever In the matter. MITCHELL XOT A CANDIDATE Sior Will Governor Francis of Mis souri Enter Race. DENVER. July 9. John H. Mitchell, ex-presldent of the Mlneworkers, and David R. Francis, of Missouri, have de clined to allow their names to be pre sented before the Democratic Conven tion as candidates for the Vice-Presidency. Governor Francis this afternoon noti fied the Missouri delegation that he la Rot and will not be a candidate for Vice-'-esldent. The Massachusetts delegation says Governor Douglas' name will not be pre ented for the Vice-Presidency. Georgia will present the name of Clark llowell for Vice-President. John Mitchell today made a 'personal ap peal to the Alabama delegation not to present his name to the convention for the Vice-Presidential nomination. Ala lama, being the first in the alphabetical roll of states, could give the Mitchell movement Impetus by presenting the mime of tho labor leader in advance of other candidates. When Mr. Mitchell heard that the. delegation had planned such a step he lost no time in trying to head it off. In discussing the situation at the Alabama headquarters, Mr. Mitchell said that, while he would possibly strengthen the Democrats ticket In some quarters, he would weaken it In others and there he advised the delegation to abandon its plan. Speaking of his per sonal wishes, he said he had made plans for the future which meant much to his family and that he would like to be un disturbed in carrying out his programme, particularly as he was greatly averse to enterlnsr uoon a political c&mnalra. The Missouri delegation today- called UNDER ADV I5EMEN en ex-Governor David R- Francis and announced a decision reached today to put him in nomination for the Vice Presidency. The Missourians expected to secure for Mr. Francis the support of Eastern Democrats because of the fact that he was a member of the Cleveland Cabinet. The Indiana delegation today began working earnestly among other delega tions in an effort to arouse sentiment for John W. Kern for the Vice-Presidential nomination. His delegation is solidly behind him and more than a dozen states have been pledged to support . him in the event that Judge Gray, of Delaware, is not available. A QUESTI0N0F SPELLING. International Copyright Law Leads Cs to Old Standard. New York Mail. Could any one have foreseen, when the present international copyright law of the United States was passed, that It would tend to overthrow the "American" orthography and assimilate our spelling to the cumbersome forms In vogue in England? That is, that this public spirited law would in a considerable de gree dragoon us Americans into spelling "honor" and "favor" with the "u"? Surely no one could have predicted it. Tet that has been the result. Every year scores of American books are print ed which have their pages sprinkled with "humour" and "flavour," and In which "civilize" is spelled in the last syllable with an "s" and other words in English fashion. Any popular novel, written by an American and dealing with American subjects and characters, Is as likely as not to be as Brltannio in Its orthography as an Oxford prayer book. Why is this so? It Is easy to explain. The American law restricts copyright to books printed from type set within the limits of the1 United States, while the British law. has no such restriction of the right in that country to books printed there. In other words, a book printed from type set In America may be copy righted in Great Britain and elsewhere in Europe, whereas a HDOok printed from types set abroad may not be copyrighted here. Now, the English abhor our Web sterlan spelling, and will not have It if they can help it. But many of our books, and especially a certain class of novels, are Intended to have a circulation in Great Britain. Though the English are so devoted to their own spelling, they do not care so much about their compositors. They are perfectly willing that the books they read shall be set up in the United States, pro vided they are properly that is "honour ably" spelled. Our own publishers do not care how the books are spelled, pro vided they get the British sales. So in our book printing establishments the order often goes forth. "English spelling" and the Yankee presses groan with volumes in the old orthography. Apparently the American reading public does not care. "Favour" and "humov-r," "plough" and "connexion," do not offend it. Perhaps it rather likes them. Every day the people become more accustomed to them. Already in wedding and social invitations, the "u" is always employed In honor." and so forth. It looks very much as if we were gradually returning, in spite of spelling reform agitation, to the old standard. And It Is this patriotio copyright law that is doing it. Yet, the reaction would not have taken place if the decimal-hating, reform-scorning British public had been more considerate of its printers than of its prejudices if, In the words of tho poet, It "loved not 'honour' more." RUSSIA WANTS A FRIEXD Would Foster Closer Relations With American People, ST. PETERSBURG, July 9. The Ros sia today publishes a "letter from its1 cor respondent in the United States, who urges in strong terms the necessity, par ticularly for Russia, of a better under standing between the Russian and the American peoples, and who proposes a method by which this highly desired end can be accomplished. The correspondent deplores what he calls the animosity of the American, peo ple today toward Russia, and says this is a direct outcome of the persistent ef forts of the enemies of the Russian em pire, the Japanese during the late war, and subsequently Russian political agi tators who visited the United States and gave the American people a false and mystifying Idea of conditions In the em pire. To remedy this deplorable condi tion, the correspondent says the Ameri can people must be Instructed in what Russia really is. The press is not the way to do It, nor must the method Tie tainted by an official connection. Rus sian society must act by itself unaided. WATTERSON ADDS HIS PLEA Vainly Crges Gray to Accept the Second Place. WILMINGTON. Del., July 9. Despite the absolute quality of his refusal to ac cept a nomination for Vice-Presidency at the hands of the Democratic National convention. Judge George Gray continues to receive communications in reference to the subject. Answering Inquiries to day. Judge Gray stated that he had re ceived no letter from Henry Watterson, of Louisville, pleading with him to accept the nomination for Vice-President, as had' been reported, but that he had received, last Friday, a telegram from the vet eran editor urging him to acquiesce In the proposition. He replied, as he had replied to the As sociated Press, that he would "under no circumstances accept such a nomina tion should it be made." This, he says, is still his attitude and will be unaltered. Killed in Auto Accident. OAKLAND, Cal., July 9. Ernest T. Scribner, of Rockland, Cal., was In stantly Killed by an automobile acci dent on the Hayward road, about a mile southeast of Hayward. at 6 o'clock this morning. Three other per sons were severely injured and were removed to the Alameda County In firmary for surgical treatment. The injured are: Mrs. Hazel Llddell. J. J. Nelson; Major John D. Jeffrey, a re tired Army officer and well-known clubman. At last report the patients were resting easy and there Is no serl. ous danger. Carry Out Xordica's Plans. NEW YORK. July 9. Active work has begun on the plans for the administration building of the Lillian Nordica Festival House to be erected by the singer at Harmon-on-the-Hudson. This is the first of the group of the handsome and artistic buildings that, fostered by the prima donna and three men and women of wealth and society, who are to make up th board of managers and patrons, will go to make up a musical institution sim ilar in every respect to the Wagner Fes tival House in Bayreuth. Bavaria, found ed by the late Richard Wagner. Will Codify Canon Law. ROME, July 9. The codification of the canon law of the church, upon which Cardinal Gasparri has been working for the lest year, will be finished some time in 1908. A copy of the new compilation will be sent to each bishop in the Cath olic world for criticism and it is estimated that this work of revision will take two years more. .

(Continued from First Page.) tlonail expenditure of nearly $70,000,000. as against only 10.279 new offices created un der the Cleveland and McKlnley adminis trations, which involved an expenditure of only S6.0OO.O0O. We denounce this growing increase in the number of office-holders as not only unnecessary and wasteful, but also as clear ly indicating a deliberate purpose on the part of the administration to keep the Re publican party in power at public expense by thus Increasing the number of Its re tainers and . dependents. Such procedure we declare to be no less danerermia nnd corrupt than the open purchase of votes Economy In Administration. The Republican Congress, in the session Just ended, m has made appropriations amounting to 11,003,000,000, exceeding the total expense of the past fiscal year by S0,000,0u0, and leaving a. deflclt of more than $00,000,000 for the fiscal year, we denounce the heedless waste of the peo ple's money which has resuHeri in thi n palling increase as a shameful violation of all prudent conditions of government, and as no less than a crime against the mil lions of working women and men, from whose earnings the great proportion of these colossal sums must be extorted through, excessive tariff exactions and other indirect methods. It Is not surprising that in the face of this shocking record the Republican plat form contains no reference to economical administration or promise thereof in the future. We demand that a atop be put to this frightful extravagance and Insist upon the strictest economy In every department compatible with frugal and efficient admin istration. Curb Arbitrary Power of Speaker. The House of Representatives was de signed by the fathers of the constitution to be the popular branch of our Govern ment, responsive to the publio will. The House of Representatives, as controlled la recent years by the Republican party, has ceased to be a deliberative and legislative body, responsive to the will of a majority of its members, but has come under the absolute domination of the Speaker, who has entire control of its deliberations and powers of legislation. Wo have observed with amazement the popular branch of our Federal Government helpless to obtain either the consideration or enactment of measures desired by a majority of Its members. Legislative gov ernment becomes a. failure when one mem ber, in the person of the Speaker, is more powerful than the entire body. We demand that the House of Represen tatives shall again become a deliberative body, controlled by a majority of the peo ple s representatives. and not by the fapeaker, and we pledge-ourselves to adopt such rules and regulations to govern the House of Representatives as to enable a ma jority of its members to direct its delib erations and control legislation.

We demand Federal legislation forever ter minating the partnership which has existed between corporations of the country and the Republican party under the expressed or im F iSd.."re.ment that in return for the con tribution of great sums of money wherewith to purchase elections they should be allowed to continue substantially unmolested In their efforts to encroach upon the rights of the people. ..Any ,reasonable doubt as to the existence of tnis relation has been forever dispelled by the sworn testimony of witnesses examined in the insurance investigation in New York and the open admission, unchallenged by the Re publican National committee, of a single in dividual that he himself at the personal re quest of the Republican candidate for the Presidency raised over a quarter of a million dollars to be used in a single state during the closing- hours of the last campaign. In order that this practice shall be stopped for all time, -we demand the passage of a statute punishing, with imprisonment only, officers of corporations who shall either con tribute on behalf of or consent to the con tribution by a corporation of any money or thing of value to be used in furthering the election of a President or Vice-President of the United States or of any member of the Congress .thereof. Denounce Republican Dodging. We denounce the action of the Republican party, having complete control of the Federal Government, for Its failure to pass the bill. Introduced at the last Congress, to compel the publication of the names of contributors and the amounts contributed toward campaign funds, and point to the evidence of their Insincerity when they sought by an absolutely Irrelevant and Impossible amendment to de feat the passage of the bill. As a further evidence of their Intention to conduct their campaign in the coming contest with vast sums of money wrested from favor-see b icj: corporation, we call attention to the fact that the recent Republican National convention at Chicago refused, when the issue was pre sented to It, to declare against such practices. "We pledge the Democratic party to a law preventing any corporation from contributing to a campaign fund and any individual from contributing an amount above a reasonable minimum and providing for the publication before election of all ouch contributions. Oppose a Centralised Government. We assert our confidence In and admira tion for the wisdom of the fathers in so organizing the Federal Government as to secure rule to the people of each state; and we pledge ourselves to combat with increas ing vigilance the efforts of those who are striving by usurpation to seize the powers of the people of the state for exploitation by the Federal Government. Believing, with Jefferson, in "the support of the state governments In all of their rights as the most competent administration for our do mestla concerns and the surest bulwark against anti-Republican tendencies and In the preservation of the general government in Its whole constitutional vigor as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad," we are opposed to the cen tralization Implied in the suggestions now frequently made that the powers of the general government should be extended by executive and legislative action and by ju dicial construction. There is no twilight zone between the Nation and the state in which exploiting Interests can take refuge from both, and it is as necessary that the Federal Govern ment shall exercise the powers delegated to It as it Is that the state governments shall use the authority reserved to them, but we insist xthat the Federal remedies for the regulation of interstate commerce and for the prevention of private monoply shall be added to, not substituted for state remedies. Revision of Tariff. We welcome the belated promise of tariff reform now offered by the Republican partv in tardy recognition of the righteousness of the Democratic position on this question; but the people cannot safely entrust the execution of this important work to a party which is so deeply obligated to the highly protected Interests as is the Republican party. We call attention to the slpniflcant fact that the promised relief was postponed until after the coming election an election to succeed In which the Republican party must have that same support of the beneficiaries of the high protective tariff as it has always heretofore received from them; and to the further fact that during years of uninterrupted; power no action whatever has been taken by the Re publican Congress to correct the admittedly existing tariff lnfquities. We favor immediate revision of the tariff hx the reduction of Import duties. Article PLATFORM MAD entering Into competition with trust-controlled products snouki oe pi a ceo on tne rree nez. Materia) reductions should be made in-the tariff upon the necewaries of life, especially upon articles competing with such American manufactures as are sold abroad more cheap ly than at home; and graduated reductions should be made la such other schedules as may be necessary to restore the tariff to a revenue basic. Existing duties have given the manufac turers of raper a shelter behind which they have organized combinations to raise the price of pulp and of paper, thus imposing a tax upon the spread of knowledge. We demand the immediate repeal of the tariff on wood pulp, print paper, lumber, timber and logs and that these articles be placed upon the free list. 'Reform 1b Rankins; System. The panic of 1907, coming without any le gitimate excuse, when the Republican party had for a decade been in complete control of the Federal Government, furnishes addi tional proof that it 1 either unwilling or Incompetent to protect the Interests of the general public. It has so lined the country to Wall street that the sins of the specula tors are visited upon the whole people. While refusing to rescue the wealth-producers from spoliation at the hands ol the stock gamblers and speculators In farm prod ucts, it has deposited Treasury funds without interest and without competition in favorite bejiks. It has used an emergency for which It is largely responsible as an excuse to force through Congress a bill changing the basis of the bank currency and inviting mar ket manipulation, and has failed to give to the 15,000.000 depositors of the country pro tection in their savings. We believe that Insofar as the needs of commerce require an emergency currency, such currency should be issued, controlled by the Federal Government and loaned- on adequate security to National and state banks. We pledge ourselves to legislation under which National banks shall be required to establish a guarantee fund for the prompt payment of the depositors of any insolvent isauonai Bank under an equitable system which shall be available, to all banking in stitutions wishing to use It. , Postal Savings Banks. W'e favor a postal savings bank, if the guaranteed bank cannot be secured, and that It be constituted so as to keep the deposited money in the communities where it Is estab lished. But we condemn the policy of the Republican party in providing postal savings banks under a plan of conduct by which they will aggregate the deposits of rural com munities and re-deposit the same, while un der Government charge, In the banks of V.11 street,- thus depleting1 the circulating Tne dium of the producing regions and unjustly favoring the speculative markets. Improvement of Waterways. "Water furnishes the cheapest means of transportation and ths National Government having the control of navigable waters should improve them to their fullest capacity, and we earnestly favor the immediate adoption of a liberal and comprehensive plan for im proving every water course in the Union, which Is Justified by the needs of commerce, and to secure that end we favor, when prac ticable, the connection of the Great Lakes, with navigable rivers and with the Gulf through the Mississippi River and the navi gable rivers with each other and the rivers, bays and sounds of our coasts with each other by artificial channels, with a view to pro tecting a system of inland waterways, to be navigated by vessels of standard draught. W'e favor the co-ordination of the various services of the Govemmejit connected with waterways In one service for the purpose of aiding In the completion of such a system of inland waterways; and we favor the creation of a fund ample for continuous work, which shall be conducted under the direction of a commission of experts to be authorised by law. Against Ship Subsidies. We believe In the upbuilding of American merchant marine without new or additional burdens upon the people, and without boun ties from the public treasury. Railroad Rate Regulation, We assert the rights of courts to exercise complete control over interstate commerce and the right of each state to exercise con trol over commerce within its borders. We demand such enlargement of the Interstate Commerce Commission as may be necessary to compel railroads to perform their duties as common carriers and prevent discrimination and extortion. We favor the efficient supervision "and the regulation of railroads engaged in Interstate commerce. To this end we recommend the valuation of railroads by the Interstate Com merce Commission, such valuation to take into consideration physical value of the prop erty, the original cost of reproduction and all elements of value that will render the valuation made fair and just. We favor such legislation as will prohibit the railroads from engaging in business which brings them Into competition with their shippers; also legislation which will assure such reduction in transportation rates as such conditions will permit, care being' taken to avoid reduction that would compel a reduc tion of wages, prevent adequate services or do Injustice to legitimate investments. We heartily approve the laws prohibiting the pass and the rebate and we favor any fur ther necessary legislation to restrain, cor rect and prevent euch abuses. Increased Powers for Commission. We favor such legislation as will Increase the power of the Interstate Commerce Com mission, giving to it the initiative with refer ence to rates and transportation charges put into effect by the railroad companies, and permitting the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, on its own initiative, to declare a rate illegal, as being more than should be charged for such service. That the present law re lating thereto is inadequate by reason of the fact that the Interstate Commerce Commis sion is without power to fix or investigate a rate until complaint has been made to it by the shipper we hold to be evident. We further declare that all agreements of traffic or other associations of railroad agents relating to interstate rates, service or classi fication, shall be unlawful .unless filed with and approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission. We favor the enactment of a law giving to the Interstate Commerce Com mission the power to inspect proposed rail road tariff rates or schedules before they shall take effect, and If they be found to be un reasonable to initiate an adjustment thereof. Protection of American. Citizens. We- pledge ourselves to insist upon the Just and lawful protection of our citizens at home and abroad, and to use all proper methods to secure for them, whether native born or naturalized, and without distinc tion of race or creed, the equal protection of law and the .enjoyment of all rights and privileges open to them under our treaty; and if, under existing treaties, the right of travel and sojourn is denied to American citizens, or recognition is with hold from American passports by any coun tries on the ground of race or creed, we fa vor prompt negotiations with the govern ments of such countries to secure the re moval of these unjust discriminations. We demand that all over the world a duly authenticated passport issued by the Government of the United States to an American citizen shall be proof of the fact that he is an American citizen and shall entitle him to the treatment due him as such. Abuse of Injunctions. The court of justice are the. bulwark of our liberties, and we yield to none In our purpose to maintain their dignity. Our party has given to the bench a long line of dis tinguished Judges who have added respect and confidence, in which this department must be Jealously maintained. We resent the at tempt of the Republican party to raise a false Iebuo respecting the Judiciary. It is an unjust reflection upon the great body ot our citizens to assume that they lack respect for the courts. " It is the function of the courts to inter- firet laws which the people create, and if the awa appear to work economic, social or po litical Injustice, it Is our duty to change them. The only basis upon which the in tegrity of our courts can stand is that of unswerving justice and protection of life and property. If judicial processes may be abused, we should guard them against abuse. Experience has proven the necessity of a modification of the present law relating to in junctions, and we reiterate the pledge of our National platforms of 1896 and liKH in favor of the measure which passed the UnUM States Senate in 1896, but which a Republi can Congress has ever since refused to enact, relating to contempts in Federal courts and providing for trial by Jury in cases of in direct contempt. Questions of judicial practice have arisen, especially In connection with Industrial dis putes. We deem that parties to all judicial proceedings should be treated with riglnd im partiality, and that Injunctions should not be i&sued in any cases In which injunctions would not issue if no industrial dispute were Involved. Righto of Labor to Unite. The expanding 'organization of Industry makes it essential that there should be no abridgement of the right of wage-earners and producers to organ l2e for the protection of wages and the improvement of labor condi tions to the end that such labor organiza tions and their members should not be re garded as illegal combinations in restraint of trade. We favor the eight-hour day on all Govern ment work. We pledge the Democratic party to the en actment of a law by Congress as far as the Federal jurisdiction extends for a general em ployers llbaility act covering injury to lody or loss of life of employes. We pledge the Democratic partr to the enactment of a law creating a Department of Labor, represented separately" in the Pres ident's Cabinet, which department shall in clude the subject of mines and mining. Arizona and New Mexico. The National Democratic party has for the last 16 years labored for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as separate states of the Federal Union and, recogniz ing that each possesses every qualification to successfully maintain separate state gov ernments. w favor the immediate admis sion of these territories as separate states.
