TO BE CHRISTENED FEB. 12 Board la Vnanlmoni in Mot Pa rental Dl.pleasnro Thwarts Pro posed Transfer of Holmani Pu pils to Falling Schoolhouae, Hereafter the West Bide High School U to be known as the Lincoln High School; the East Side High School has been changed to the "Washington High School and the new Albina High School will be named after Thomas Jeffer son. These names were determined upon at the meeting yesterday of the Board of Education. The matter was brought up In con nection with the propriety of naming one of the city schools after President Lincoln, the namo to be given at a ceremony to be held on Lincoln's cen tenary. on Friday. It was at first Intended to give the name of Lincoln to one of the new grammar schools. bnt after discussing the matter tnor oughly It was thought that one of the high schools was the proper insutu tlon to be so named. After choosing the "West Side High School for this honor It was almost Inevitable that a change In the names of the other schools should be made. and the name of the first President was bestowed opon the East Side High School. The members of the board were unanimously In favor of Jefferson as the name by which the new Albina Hitch School shall be known. It was hinted at yesterday's meeting that when a fourth high school is erected it should be honored with the name of Andrew Jackson. Whether or not the high school bulldinar will be christened on Lin coin's birthday was not determined yesterdny. Parental Protest Slade. Some little sllr was caused at the meeting yesterday when a deputation of residents of the Holman School District appeared before the Board and protested against the transfer of the ninth B grade from the Holman to the Falling School. The members of the rarty were headed by C. W. Haffenden and J. TV". Sherwood, and all were Insistent that the proposed tsansfer be not made. Their request that the Holman district be enlarged was denied. Several women .in the party resented the criticisms made by Superintendent Rlgler of Principal Steele, of the Hol man . School, and Insinuated that Mr. Rlgler" attitude toward Mr. Steele was perhaps responsible for the action In transferring pupils to the Failing School. Request Is Granted. In making their ' request, the people from the Holman district pointed out that their building is much more desir able than the Falling School building, and that there are four rooms not in use. while the accommodations at the other school are such that It is necessary to use a small building on the opposite side of the street, which tbey declared is a menace to the health of the pupils housed there. The Holman people also declared that the transfer of pupils to a school outside of their district Is a reflection on the former district as a place of residence. After a thorough discussion of the question, during which much feeling was manifested on both sides, the Board passed a resolution countermanding the order, which was to have gone Into ef fect today, transferring the lower class of the ninth grade from the Holman to the Falling School. Mount Tabor "Wants Plumbing. A deputation from the South Mount Tabor School District also appeared be fore the Board and requested that the plumbing In the South Mount Tabor School be overhauled at once. It was sjhown that the conditions there demand ed Immediate attention. This was or dered done at once. Mr. Campbell reported that he had re cently visited the Peninsula School and found various matters requiring atten tion. The roof troughs were defective in some part of the building and damage to the walls had resulted, while the ends of the rain pipes were so far from the ground that the water from the roof splashed against the walls and founda tions, and would. Mr. Campbell thought, damage the structure. The chairman of the building committee was Instructed to have these defects remedied. W. K. Shepard was yesterday appoint ed Instructor in the trade school at a salary of J1200 a year. This addition to the corps of teacheres in the trade school was made on the recommendation of Su perintendent Kigler, who pointed out that the enrollment In this school will be largely Increased In the rear future, and this would place too great a burden on the teachers now employed there. Mr. Shepard is at present in the City Engi neer's office and is considered a person well qualified to hold the newly-created position In the trade school.

The respect In which the deceased waa held not only by his fellow-countrymen, but "by his employers, employes and co-laborers in the lumber and logging camps from As toria to Portland, was strikingly mani fested by the attendance at his funeral, which was one of the largest Scandina vian funerals ever held in this city.

MAYOR EXPLODES ABOUT DETECTIVES Says Discharged Officers Are "Nuisances Generally" and Vetoes Their Pay. WILL NEVER SIGN WARRANT Declares Only Court Mandate Will Compel Him to Pat Pen to Paper. Wants Leave to Hire Special Counsel to Fight Case. Declaring- that he will never sign a war rant drawn in favor of Joe Day or any of the four ex-detectives who were dis charged in August, 1906, and denouncing them as "nuisances," and intimating that they were dangerous enemies of the mu nicipal government. Mayor Lane yester day sent to the City Council a veto mes sage of unusual proportions. He eays that only by mandate of court will he ever af fix his signature to pay check for the quartet, and asks for special counsel to fight the case, stating hts belief that if It is given the proper attention and time, the city can. win the battle. The' four detectives are Joe Day, Frank J. Snow, Joseph F. Reslng and L. G. Car penter. They are etill fighting for rein statement to the positions, from which the Mayor ousted them, and are soon to have a rehearing before the Civil Service Commission. They are suing for full pay for all the time since their original dis charge, and one year's salary has been allowed by a decision of the Circuit Court, Mayor Lane'e veto message follows: Text of Mayor's Veto. To the Honorable City Council Gentle men : I return herewith ordinance No. 18901 not approved. This is an ordinance which directs the Mayor and Auditor to draw a warrant to pav Jofv?ph Day the sum of $4172.64 to satisfy a Judnment against the city for salaries for himself and other detectives during a time in which they were not working for the city. In respect to this measure I have to say, that wbon I took the office It became my duty as Mayor to enforce the laws of the city, and as agent of the people I was responsible to them for the manner in which I performed that duty. To assist me in this respect there was pro vided by the city a police force, among whom were a certain number of offloers known a detectives. They were aside from the regular police force, and were granted special privileges as to hours, drill duty, etc., and did not have to wear a uniform, but w?nt about dressed as ordinary citizens and re ceived larger salaries than were paid the patrolmen, all for the reason that they were presumed to be experts In the de tection of crime. Hindered Law Enforcement. At that time there were many persons within the city who not only resented but resisted the attempt which was beingr made to enforce its ordinance relating to tha sale of liquor, gambling and othtv similar matters and without the help of the de tectives tho task of law enforcement waa to be rendered extremely difficult. If not Impossible of accomplishment. It was the duty of these defectives to discover Infractions of the law, and to the best of their ability put a stop to the same; this was their plain and sworn duty to the city, and as its Mayor I was entitled to their beat efforts In this direction. Although there were large numbers of persons who were disobeying the law, wesk In and week out, to the knowledge of many people, no effort waa made by the detec tires to capture such persons, nor did they pay any attention to the conditions which existed and neither the city nor myself re ceived any help whatever from them In our efforts to remedy tho same, although I personally asked for It In the name of the citv more than once. It was even- found that If an attempt was to be made to enforce the law that It was qual)y. If not more Important, to keep the fact concealed from the detec tives as from the lawbreaker, else the ef fort would full. Assisted Lawbreakers. If facts relating to the Infraction of law were ascertained from other sources and acting upon Information so received, orders wene Issued to correct the same, the de tectives Immediately became alert and set about to run down and discover the Identity, not of the lawbreaker, but of the person who had furnished the information that the law was being broken. In other words, efforts to enforce tho laws, as they existed, were not only confronted with the task of estopping tho persons who were engaged In breaking them but also with that of lodg ing the detectives while doing so. and these methods and this line of conduct on their part was considered by me to be evidence of bad faith and Inimical to the Interests of tho city. They disobeyed orders In general, came and went and did as they pleased, quar reled and Interfered with one another's work, and set themselves up as above the rules of tho department and had always done so, and were a nuisance generally and always had been so, and the condition be coming unbearable I dismissed them as unlit and incompetent and my action was taken in good faith and for the best In terests of the city, and without prejudice to anyone, and was justified by the facts In the case and the city has been the gainer a thousandfold through my action In this respect. Wants Counsel to Fight. It Is difficult to socure an even and Just enforcement of law to all alike with all of the help which can be derived from a police department acting In harmony and working together for the attainment of such a result, and it Is quite possibkj and perhaps true that under present social con ditions it cannot be done, nor should be expected, yet the fact remains that persons In the service of the city, pledged to per form their duty, are under binding obliga tions to use their best efforts In that di rection. If they do not do so, or if upon the contrary, their official conduct con dones the infraction of the law, they be come its worst and most dangerous ene mies, and should be removed from ths po sition with which they have been entrusted. These are simple facts relating to the matter, and I wish to state that as Mayor of the city I will sign no warrant for pay ment to these persons for work which they have not performed unless I am com pelled to do so by a mandate from the court, and shall protest the payment in any and very way within my power. At this time these men are suing the city for more unearned moneys, and inas much as the City Attorney Is overworked and will not have the tlma to give the matter the special attention which I de sire to have bestowed upon It, and feeling satisfied that the city can win the case if such attention Is given to It, I respectfully request that I be authorized to employ counsel to assist him In the case, the city to be at no expense for such additional legal services. Respectfully, HARRT LANE, Mayor. A MATTER OF BELIEF Jf. n. Bloomfleld Discusses the John Dequer "Test." PORTLAND. Feb. 7. (To the Editor.) I was present at the John Dequer "teat," In The Oregonlan building, which Mr. McGaffer reports In Sunday's Issue, January SI, and I think he has un intentionally and thoughtlessly been cruelly unjust to Mr. Dequer. He has mis takenly supposed htm to be and treats him as he would a professional medium, seer or charlatan, whereas he Is neither. What Dequer does Is not for hire or profit, and not even as one professing to believe In spirit manifestation any more than does Mr. McGaffey. He says that he simply seeks to know, and has submitted himself and his powers for whatever conclusion wiser heads may draw from the manifestation end the evidence. He does not profess to know or to distinguish whether It be hyp notic or 'spiritualistic phenomena that we witnessed at that sitting. A poor and a hard working young man, entirely frank and honest, as I believe him to be. the personal attack made upon him was uncalled for, sensational and unfair, and tends to eonfusa rather than to en lighten us as to the truth of the phe nomena. Why cast suspicion as to tha truthfulness of his statement as to his nationality? Why discuss whether he looks like a Hol lander, Greek, Norwegian or Swedet Why discuss him phrenologlcaily" at all? I will venture to guess, however, that his will favorably compare with the average. If not the best heads of lawyers, dootors and min isters In this city. Dare I, without giving offense, include reporters and editors? And I say this although I am practically a stranger to him. But, suppose It were true that phrenolog lcaily he were Imperfect or wanting In beauty or symmetry. Even Hamlefs father's ghost came In such "questionable shape" that Hamlet doubted him. The self-hypnotic, clairvoyant or medlum lstio power has, strange to say. seldom been attracted to the Apolloa. the Adonises or the Venuaes of any community, nor yet to the busy materialist of any age. Imagine, If one can, such a gift In an Archbold or a Rockefeller. But seriously, what we wish to know and what we were there investi gating was, whether the manifestations demonstrated or tended to prove spirit com munication, or was It hypnotic Impersona tion of a spirit, by John Dequeue subcon scious or subliminal self? I cannot here undertake to discuss that. I do not know and I am Incapable of guessing. This much I do know, that Dr. Gilbert, who was present at the "test," asserts that Dequer was unconscious and In a complete hypnotic state. Impervious to pain or feeling. Such being the ease, on another occasion while nnder a similar spell or trance, call It what you will, after having Inserted needles Into his flesh without evidence of feeling or pain, or traoe of blood, then or after, Dequer, through the professed spirit of "Dr. Jackson," told me my first name (which I have no reason to believe Dequer had ever heard), by a quotation from Scrip ture, via.: "Nathaniel I knew thee, when thoa stood'st under the flg tree." But, suppose It might be said that this waa obtained telepathlcally? Who got It? John Dequer was, objectively, unconscious. Did John Dequers subconscious mind, un der the hypnotlo spelL telepathlcally reach Into my mind for that name, or did the professed spirit of Dr. Jackson do so? But certainly neither John Dequer"s objective or subjective brain could have had knowledge FCKERIL TO BE HEXD TODAV "1 'Hi Fred W. Reed, Late City Pound master. ' The funeral of the late Fred W.

And yet It was given. How? From what source came It? What we all wish to know Is exactly what Dequer prays to know, and subjecting him-, self somewhat unwillingly and hesitatingly, but anxiously, for whatever uses he may serve to science or occult Investigation and knowledge, he should be treated kindly and considerately by all those whose souls reach high enough to appreciate and truthfully and earnestly to seek for evidences tending to prove Immortality, or life after death.

B1XXDMFIELD. The tone of this letter Is quite different from Mr. Tankwlch's, when he dared The Oregonlan to face the spooks which he said Dequer oould raise. The reporter stated the facts as he saw and heard them and drew Inferences which almost any sensible man would have drawn. Any man who pretends to do marvels must expect to be described and discussed. If he falls to come up to his professions he must not complain If he la ridiculed. VETOES SALARY INCREASE Mayor Returns Park Appropriation Bill With Disapproval. Mayor Lane has vetoed a section of the ordinance making the annual ap propriation for the park department, and has thus placed himself on record against indiscriminate increases of sal aries. The clause deals with an In crease of $10 a month in the pay of the two watchmen in the City Park, which was not requested by the Park Board.. The mayor's veto message fol lows: To the Honorable City Council Gentle men: 1 return to you ordinance No. 18816 approved except as to the Increase of salary provided for two watchmen, which is (11 approved. This is an ordinance making an appro priation out of the park fund for the main tenance of that department for the year 109. In respect to this matter of the Increase of wajres for the two watchmen at the City Park, I have to say that I am In formed that an Increase of wages for those employes has not been recommended by the Park Board and that the duties required In such work is not greater than other places where the pay Is less. In the matter of Increasing salaries I would suggest that such changes be made only upon a schedule which takes into ac count the value of the services and a due relation to those paid for like services m all departments of the city. I return the ordinance for your further consideration. Respectfully, HARRT LANE, Mayor. SEATSJREE! Men's pants. $1.50 a leg, $3.00 a pair.

GAMBLERS GUILTY; WILLS MAKES GOOD Blazier Pays $5 Fine for Each of 35 Gamblers, Who Plead Guilty. ONE PRISONER TO FIGHT Tom McKIttrlck Says He Can Prove He Was Kot Gambling and Trial Is Set Alleges Misconduct of Officers Making Arrests. ED BLAZIER IS ARRESTED. On a warrant charging him with allowing gambling in his saloon, Ed Blaster was arrested yesterday as a result of the raid on his North End place Saturday night. In which 35 men were taken Into custody. De tective Tom Kay swore to the war rant. The warrant was served by Kay and Blazier waa released in the sum of 100. It Is said other war rants will be Issued so as to include the men who are said to have been In charge of the games at both Erlckson's and Blazlers. Councilman Wills, who caused the raid, will also. It Is said, cause an investigation as to why the games were permitted to be run without polloe molestation. Thirty-five pleas of guilty to the charge of gambling and visiting a gambling-house were entered in Municipal Court yesterday by men who were captured in Councilman Wills' personally conducted raid on Blaz ier' a North End place Saturday night. Fines of to were imposed in each case, and Blazier himself paid the total sum. One of the victims of the raid, Tom Mc KIttrlck. refused to plead guilty, alleging that he participated in none of .the games. He demanded a trial, vowing that he would stay in Jail forever before he would submit to having the records show that he had pleaded guilty to gambling. His case was set for Wednesday for trial, but meanwhile Blazier paid the fines, leaving McKIttrlck In the peculiar position of de manding a trial when his fine had already been paid. "I waa in search of a man to work for me," said McKIttrlck, "when the raid was made. I knew there was no use pro testing at the time, so. I went to the sta tlon with the others and was booked. But I can prove I wasn't playing and don't propose to have the records show that I was guilty when I am not." McKIttrlck says that certain persons who were also captured in the raid were allowed to escape after they had reached police headquarters. Several wagonloads of prisoners were taken, he says, and cer tain ones were placed in a rear room at headquarters, where they were kept un til the commotion following the arrests had subsided. Then they were permitted to leave without bail or explanation. "Among the number was a son of a man named Erlggs, who is employed, I have been told, at Kelly Butte by the county," said McKIttrlck. "Sergeant Kay took this man and others to a rear room at the station, where they were kept until most of us were locked up, then they were released." Ten of the 85 men who were arrested entered pleas of guilty yesterday morning. The trial of the others was set for 4 o'clock In the afternoon, and a big crowd had gathered in the dingy- little room where Municipal Court sessions are held, long before that hour. Among those who were present were the accused, scores of North End loungers and others who were deeply interested in the outcome of the trials. Attorney S. C. Spencer, representing the defendants, consulted with a representa tive of the District Attorney's office for a few moments, and the result of their conference was communicated to Judge Van Zante. Judge Van Zante immediate ly announced that the trials were at an end, that the attorney for the defendants had pleaded guilty in each case. Blazier promptly paid the fines. Councilman Wills, who instigated the raid, declares that he will attempt to cause the revocation of the licenses of both Blazier and Erlckson. He also is said to have announced his determination to cause warrants to be issued for their arrest on the charge of conducting gambling-houses. MAYOR SAYS HE IS GIAD Expresses Gratitude for Aid Ren dered by Councilman Wills. It has been a long time since Mayor Lane has worn a smile so pleasant as when he appeared at the executive office yesterday morning to take up the official duties of his official position. He was in his most affable mood, and greeted every one with a hearty handshake and a word of cheer. Having read the reports of Councilman Wills' activities in the North End district Saturday night, and the promise of the distinguished city legisla tor from Sellwood as to what he Intends doing in the future, the Mayor assured those who asked him that he is simply overjoyed at the latest turn of events. "Why, Just think of It!", exclaimed the Mayor. "For more than three years have I been pleading with the members of tho City Council to secure their co-operation in my efforts to make Portland clean, and, after all this time, along comes Councilman Wills and proves himself to be a friend indeed by throwing himself Into the breach and taking up a systemat ic effort to help me in this good warfare. I tell you that it is cause for great satis faction on my part, only to think how ! long It took to get even one member of the Council into line; but I will not com plain; nay, I feel, rather, that I have am ple reason to congratulate myself, for I have now the undivided support of one Councilman in making this city a morally clean abiding place, and I say, without hesitation. I thank Mr. Wills from the depths of my heart for what he has done and what he declares he will do. I want not only his help, but I also want the help of all the other Councllmen, all public officials and private citizens, to the end that gambling and all forms of vice may be suppressed." Here the Mayor reviewed in brief his efforts to secure help from the Council in suppressing vice and crime, which usually met with failure, he said, and then con tinued: "Now, there is a lot to do in the way of weeding out vicious places, certain sa loons, for example. There is Blazier's saloon, where Councilman Wills found all those gamblers Saturday night. Now that I have the support of Mr. Wills, I shall ask the Council to revoke that saloon's license right away; and I feel certain the Council will do that much to assist me in cleaning up this city. Surely, the Council will not refuse to do so little a thing as to revoke the license of a man In whose saloon a Councilman finds open gambling In progress. Yes, I will request the Coun cil to revoke that lloense, and perhaps some others. It la comforting to know that at last the Council stands ready, at i 1 . xr- ixml. iwa tn hfln In this great work of reform. So this is a good time to take up a number of licenses and things that need attention and get them straightened out; among tho first, of course, will be that of Mr. Blazier, where Councilman Wills caught a poker game in full blast Saturday night. After that is revoked, there will be others to which the attention of the Council will bo called." Chief of Police Gritzmacher was a caller at the Mayor's office yesterday morning. He was closeted with the executive for a brief time. Just long enough to explain that the police, although trying with might and main, have been unable to secure convictions in gambling cases In the Mu nicipal Court, and to add that it Is not the fault of the police that people congre gate In saloons and play cards. After the Chief left. Mayor Lane said that the police have been Instructed ever since the Mayor took office to enforce all the laws; to close gambling and to permit no "understandings." "No understandings exist between me and any one to the effect that they can gamble or break any law," said the Mayor." "The orders have always been to the police to allow no lawbreaklng, and If any one can show at any time that any member of the police force, from top to bottom, has any understanding with any one that any law can be broken, I will Immediately discharge such officer or officers. The only understanding that ex ists is that the laws must be enforced, and I welcome any help from any source looking to that end."
