DENIAL OF APPEAL
Civil Service Commission
Makes Recommendation.
QUESTION OF EMPLOYES
Officials Firm In the Belief That
Ruling AV.il I Work Great Im
provement in Federal
Work.
Thut civil isprvice employes shall havi
appal from the decision of the employ
ing and discharging power of the city on
other than religious or political charges
Is the recommendation made by the city
Civil Service Commission at Its meeting
yesterday afternoon. The Commissioners
are strongly of the belief that this will
work a big improvement in the service.
Jt will shut off such long-drawn-out trials
as those of the four former city detec
tives. Joe Day. J. F. Reslng. F. J. Snow
and L. G. Carpenter. The recommenda
tion will be transmitted to the Charter
Commision at once.
1'nder the present rules of the City
Civil Service Commission, as provided by
ths charter, any civil service employe has
the right of appeal to the Commission
from the decision of the City Executive
Board, the Board being the appointing
and discharging power. No matter how
incompetent a person may be, or how
detrimental his action may have been to
the city s service. It is possible for a man
to fight for months before the several
boards and put the city and Its various
departments and heads of departments to
unlimited trouble before he can be Anally
discharged. It is to put a stop to this
procedure and for the benefit of the
civil service that the Commisisoners yes
terd.iy voted their recommendation.
That there are a number of rank In
competents In the city's classified lists
under the civil service Is frankly admit
ted by the officials, but there is scarcely
any means of discharging them. Under
the charter. It has been held by the
courts, a general charge of incompetency
cannot Justify a discharge under civil
service rules. This was the original
charge against the former detectives,
who were dismissed and appealed to the
Civil Service Commission, were ordered
reinstated, were again dismissed by the
Executive Board, and are now await
Ing a second hearing on appeal to the
Commission.
If the change recommended is Incor
porated Into the new charter and be
comes a law. It will simplify matters. It
Is believed. If an employe is then dis
charged for Incompetency, he will have
. no appeal.
The Civil Sen-Ice Commission also an
nounced the decision in the case of JIatt
P. Murphy, formerly a patrolman, who
was discharged by the Executive Board
on charges of general misconduct. The
action of the Board Is sustained.
GRAFT IS TOPIC OF IRIjOHir
FIRE COMMITTEE WILL- MAKE
QUICK INVESTIGATION.
Responsibility for Negligence in
.Matter of Hydrants to Be Fixed
by the Authorities.
The fire committee of the City Execu
tlve Board will meet at the City Hall
this afternoon to Inquire Into the
charges of graft openly made by Wal
ter O. Haines, representing the Ludlow
Valve & Manufacturing Company
against Walter Phillips, hydrant in
spector for the Portland Fire Depart
ment.
The accusations were made at a spe
cial meeting of the committee last
Monday, when an Investigation was in
progress to determine the responslbll
Ity for SS hydrants lying on the public
streets without proper attention.
In connection with the Investigation
as to the fixing of the responsibility
lor leaving the hydrants unattended
from May 2 to August 12, when there
were numerous demands for hydrants
from all sections of the city, Mr. Haines
declared that he had heard from three
sources that the Ludlow hydrants
would be rejected, as the man who
would Inspect them "had financial In
terest In the Portland hydrant." a local
brand. These accusations were of a
nature so serious as to demand rigid
Investigation by the fire committee.
The manner in which the investiga
tion to fix the responsibility for the al
leged negligence as to the hydrants,
has given rise to the belief in official
circles that Fire Chief Campbell Is the
real object of attack in the whole mat
ter. While it is the business of the fire
committee of the Executive Board to
handle all matters regarding the fire
department, Thomas G. Greene, the
chairman of the committee on police,
lias taken an aggressive part in the
matter. He being the chief lieutenant
of Mayor Lane, has given rise to the
belief among some that the Mayor
seeks the removal of Chief Campbell
and that Mr. Greene has been selected
as the proper man to conduct the case.
Mr. Greene made the original motion
which brought about the investigation
as to the hydrants, and he appeared at
the session of the fire committee last
Monday as a private citizen, as he said,
and conducted the whole affair. It is
intimated that the members of the fire
committee feci that Mr. Greene is un
necessarily attending to their official
business for them, and that they are
not any too pleased with his attitude.
It is fully expected that, if the inves
tigation proceeds as scheduled for this
afternoon, it will prove to be probably
the most interesting, session ever held
by the fire committee.
PRAISE FOR THE TROPICS
Dr. Giesy and Wife Tell of Delight
ful Voyage to. South Seas.
Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Gicsy and son
have returned from a delightful cruise
of three months among the tropical
Islands of the Pacific. While at Ruto
roa. New Zealand, the tourists met the
officers and men of the United States
fleet of battleships and with them en
joyed the famous dances of the natives,
which supplied one of the most inter
esting diversions of the trip.
Leaving Portland in the middle of
.Tune. Dr. Giesy and family sailed for
Sydney. Australia, stopping en route at
Honolulu, the FIJI Islands and Bris
bane. From Sydney they went to Auck
land. New Zealand, where they visited
the famous volcanic district of Ruto
roa. "Rutoroa possesses some of the
characteristics of Tellowstone National
Park," said Dr. Giesy last night. "Al
though in many respects It la wholly
Indifferent, Ruturoa has some of the
similarities of our own celebrated vol
canic district- We also visited the
world-famous extinct geyser. ' Wai
Munga, which has not been active for
the last four years. When in an active
state, It threw water to a height of
from 1200 to 1500 feet from a lake
which covered an acre of ground.
"From those extremely Interesting
points, we returned to Auckland and
took the South Sea Island steamer Atua
and spent two weeks visiting the vari
ous ports In the Friendly Islands, In
cluding Lautoka and Vauvau. We also
spent some time at Apia, Samoa, and
then returned to Fiji and visited no
merous other islands in that locality.
Concluding our sightseeing excursions
we proceeded to Suva and boarded our
eteamer for home, returning via . an
couver B. C.
"I was wonderfully Impressed with
the remarkable tropical growths on the
different Islands, particularly with the
hundreds of acres of cocoanut trees. .
became interested in the cocoa Indus
try and made quite a study of It. While
the scenic surrounding of Honolulu are
exceedingly beautiful, there are other
places In the tropics I consider even
more attractive. Vauvau, one of the
ports of the Friendly Inlands, for in
stance, I consider one of the most de
lightful places I have ever visited."
NIG FIGHT ENDS
STANDS By THE "LADIES"
COUNCIL- WOULD NOT CURTAIL
THEIR PRIVILEGES.
Free to Enter Saloons Now That Pro
posed Ordinance Has Been Sent
to Graveyard.
The City Council, upon motion by
Councilman Baker, yesterday lndefi
nltely postponed the consideration of
the proposed ordinance prohibiting
women from entering saloons. This
action was taken at the morning ses
sion, and resulted In a vote of seven
to eight. It was never seriously be
lieved that there was any intention
upon the part of the Council to pass
such an extreme measure. It was bit
terly opposed by the liquor interests.
On the question to Indefinitely post
pone, the vote resulted: Yeas An
nand. Baker, Beldlng, Concannon, Cot'
tel. Drlscoll, Dunning, Kellaher; Nays
Bennett. Cellars, Menefee, Rushlight.
Vaughn, Wallace. Wills.
"I have heard a whole lot of dis
cussion on this subject by members of
this Council," said Mr. Baker, after
several had spoken, "but I really do
not believe that any of the members
Intend to vote for such a measure; I
think they want to do something to
please their constituents, but don't
care to do anything that will hurt
themselves. Now, if you've got the
nerve to vote and go through with
the proposition, I move that further
consideration of this ordinance be in
definitely postponed."
Mr. Cellars moved that the ordinance
be taken up and considered, and the
motion carried. Mr. Cellars said he
favored the passage of the ordinance
just as It was drafted by City Attorney
Kavanaugh and the office deputies,
without any amendments, as It could
be enforced as originally drawn.
Mr. Bennett then offered an amend
ment, eliminating restaurants and ho
tels, where there are rooms without
screens or curtains and not less than
400 square feet. Mr. Vaughn further
amended by striking out the except-
ng clause and applying the stringent
law to restaurants and hotels. Mr.
Vaughn then made a lengthy argument
In favor of the application of the law
to hotels and restaurants, saying that
more harm comes from these than
from the saloons.

DEFEATED BY BIG VOTE
Only Three Stand by Kellaher in
Effort to Throw Open Street
Work in Portland to
All Biddors.
COUNCIL WTI.L STEET TODAY.
The City Council adjourned at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, upon
motion of Councilman Baker, and
Mayor Lane and the Councilmen at
tended the exhibition at the Country
CluV The Council will reassemble at
9:30 o'clock this morning to complete
pending business.
Councilman Kellaher's efforts to se
cure repeal of the sections of an ordi
nance which give to the Warren Con
struction Company the exclusive right
to lay bitulithic pavement, met with
defeat at the session of the City Coun
cil yesterday morning. The resolution
was voted down 4 to 11. after several
of the members had made their stand
on the controversy.
The vote was as follows: the ques
tion being on the repeal of the section
giving the exclusive right: Yeas Cot
tel. Kellaher, Rushlight, Vaughn. Nays
Annand, Baker, Beldlng, Bennett,
Cellars, Concannon, Driscoll, Dunning,
Menefee, Wallace, Wills.
Mr. Kellaher made a clear statement
of his contentions, saying that he re
garded it as an Injustice to the public
for the Council to continue in force the
section giving to the Warren Construe'
tion Company exclusive right to lay
bitulithic pavement- He also declared
that he had secured a chemical analy
sis of the Ingredients, and had estab
lished. that these are nearly all asphalt;
that there is nothing extraordinary
about them except their copyrighted
names. He appealed to his colleagues
to vote favorably for the adoption of
the resolution on these grounds.
Mr. Cellars led the opposition to Mr.
Kellaher's resolution, and contended
that there Is no merit In what Mr. Kel
laher had stated; that It would do no
good to repeal the section alluded to.
as it would not afford relief to the pub
lie and would simply put out of busi
ness the Warren Construction Company
without helping any one else. He fav
ored, 'he said, an ordinance to secure
bids on all brands of pavements and to
let the property-owners choose what
they wish from the figures submitted,
so that all brands of the different com
panies would have an equal chance.
Dr. Cottel declared that it is dis
graceful to allow the monopoly on bi
tulithic, and supported Mr. Kellaher's
motion. Mr. Wills started to indulge
In personalities, when Mayor Lane
called him to order.
"I ' think," said Mr. Wills, "that Mr.
Kellaher should start. up a paving es
tablishment. He could do lots more
good In that manner than he does by
running his little grocery store on the
East Side."
"Whatever you do here, gentlemen,"
Bpoke up the Mayor, "you must not
engage in personalities; I simply will
not permit it."
Mr. Wills then continued by expres
sing the belief that the motion by Mr.
Kellaher should be defeated.
"A legalized monopoly; a graft that
flourishes without Interference," was
the way Mr. Vaughn characterized the
.present status of the bitulithic meas
ure. He said that City Engineer Tay
lor had declared that bituminous maca
dam is as good a pavement as the bitu
lithic, and that the whole Council had
been deceived at one time when Mr.
Wills and others exhibited data to
show that the macadam is a poor improvement.
