IMPORTANT JOBS
NOT YET FILLED
Simon Reserves Decision Until
Names of All Candidates
Are Known to Him.
MANY WOULD HEAD POLICE
Leonard, Hammer-sley and Xevlns
Are Added to Already Jong List
of. Men Who Arc Considered to
Succeed Chief Gritzmacher.
Further appointments for city offices
under the new administration probably
will not be decided upon and announced
until the last minuie and those who are
ticking one or other of the Important
positions will doubtless remain In sus
pense until July 1. when Mr. Simon as
sumes his new duties as the city's ad
ministrative head.
While the question of a competent
health officer was settled early bv the
flection of Dr. Wheeler, more difficul
ties continue to attend the selection of
a suitable City Engineer and a competent
Chief of Police. New names are being
presented daily and the list now on Hie
with Mr. filmon compares favorably In
bulk with the city directory.
It will be a case of the most competent
men winning and those men have not
yet been decided upon, so Mr. Simon said
yesterday afternoon. Politics will not
serve as a consideration, neither will It
ferve as a detraction. "I want to get
the best men for the two positions named.
The fact that a man Is a friend of mine
or has been active In politics would not
be of any advantage to him. Nor would
It stand In his way. for that matter." he
said.
May Promote Present Employe.
As to the report that a member of the
Tollce Department mlRht be promoted to
the place, Mr. Simon was non-committal,
except to say such an appointment was
rrnt improbable. "I am considering the
various men that have been suggested
to me and have yet to make a choice,"
paid he.
Among the new names added to the list
of possibilities is that of Deputy Sheriff
Leonard. Deputy United States Marshal
Hammersley and Captain James Nevine,
a retired Pinkerton man. Leonard has an
excellent record In the matter of catching
thieves and has strong Indorsements. The
other two are likewise being urged by
their friends.
Among the other names being con
sidered are those of John W. Minto, ex
Postmaster and exnilef of Police Charles
Hunt; Deputy Sheriff Hunter. L. G. Car
penter, who made an excellent record as
a police detective; Police Captain Moore;
who has a long record for efficient serv
ice In the Police Department, and Police
Captain Bailey.
Four tp trr Engineer.
Additions to the 11st cf possible City
Engineers are not numerous and at this
time those under consideration are: T.
y:. Hurlburt, now a deputy In the office.
Oaptaln Charles Wanzer, ex -City En
gineer and now a resident of Omaha.
Oeorge W. Lilly and "j. W. Morris, civil
engineers.
As to whether any of the men named
will be the successful candidate cannot be
stated, of course. Considerable time yet
remains and new names may be presented
of men who might get an appointment on
the basis of merit.
The impending change In the head of
the Police Department is the matter of
profound Interest and concern through
out the department itself and it is inti
mated that a number of changes will oc
cur looking to the betterment of the
force. Rumor has it that one of the first
changes a competent Chief of Police will
find necessary In the interest of his de
partment will be reorganisation of the
detective bureau.
This bureau Is now In charge of Cap
tain Baty. who Is reputed to owe ills
position more to the favorable view T.
U. Greene, police committeeman, held of
him than to any special merit on his own
part. Several of the plain-clothes men
t will And themselves patrolling beats on
the second night relief, too, it is rumored.
These changes, of course, will have to
be figured out by the new Chief, when
he is selected, but that such changes will
have to occur Is generally conceded by
those familiar with the workings of the
department during the past four years.

MAN DENIES HE JILTED
Says He Tid Not Promise to Wed Girl
AVho Throws Away Ring.
Harry S. Blankenmeier of 3S9 Taylor
:reet. who was accused by Mrs. Helen
Perry with having Jilted her when she is
said to have thrown away her ring, in
dignantly denies he was engaged to the
young woman or that he Induced her to
come to Portland. Blankenmeier was di
vorced from his wife less than a year ago
and says he Is in no haste to "take on
more trouoie.
"I met Mrs. Perry in Toledo. Ohio,
about five years ago" said Blankenmeier
"and yesterday we were very good
friends. A few weeks ago I saw her
name in a matrimonial paper and wrote
to her just for friendship's sake. She
answered the letter and then started a
correspondence. I began to see, however,
that the girl was working around to get
me to propose to her. I had no intention
of doing so and wrote no more letters.
Just a week ago I received a telegram
from Mrs. Perry saying she would ar
rive in Portland and asking me to meet
her. I did so and she came to the boarding-house
where I live. I thought she
Intended simply to come there for dinner,
but when I saw she expected to remain
there indefinitely I left the place. I have
never been engaged to her and the ring
she says she threw away was not my
gift. When I knew her years ago I liked
her, but a girl can change a great deal
In five years. I believe her objective
point was Seattle and she intended stay
ing here as long as X would pay her ex
penses. I have been divorced less than a
year and am not looking for any more
trouble."
DAVIDOR IS IN TROUBLE
CHARGE OF TTSIXG MAIL TO DE
FRAUD FILED.
Realty Company In Which He Is In
terested Will Be Investigated
by Federal Officials.
' Alleging that Samuel V. Davldor,
president of the Pacific Northwest
Realties Company, has been using the
mails with intent to defraud, K. O.
Gaarder, of Butte, Mont., has filed
charges with the Federal officials here
and an Investigation of the Realties
Company Is now being made. Whether
or not a complaint will be filed will
not be determined by the United States
District Attorney's office until further
investigations have been made.
There has been several complaints re
garding Davidor within the past few
months, but these have as a rule been
settled by him out of court. The latest
trouble with Gaarder seems not a mat
ter that can be so easily adjusted.
Gaarder declares that David&r
through an agent. H. G. Wolfe, now in
Kansas City, induced him to purchase
what were termed as unusually desir
able fruit and dairy lands in Lincoln
County. Upon making a personal In
vestigation into the land Gaarder, it is
alleged, found that the property was
not only inaccessible but that Davidor
nor his company had any title to the
same. Others are said to have been
caught by the same scheme. Davldor's
agent, Wolfe, so Gaarder says, repre
sented to him that the Lincoln County
lands could be had for $12 an acre, but
in a year would be worth $50 an acre
and that the purchaser could either
cultivate the land or sell it and make
a big profit. Gaarder became Inter
ested and paid $270 on 40 acres. There
was a great deal of difficulty, however,
in getting title to the tract. Becoming
tired of waiting Gaarder came to Port
land and interviewed Davidor who
told him, it is asserted, he could go
over to the property and his expenses
would be paid.. On ariving at that
place Gaarder learned that his expenses
were not to be paid.
Davidor has been connected with a
number of questionable transactions in
Chicago, Minneapolis and Milwaukee.
Finding that -he could do no business in
Eastern cities he came to Portland. Sev
eral of the enterprises he organized have
since gone out of business. Postoffice
inspectors investigated the advertising
methods of the Champion Groupe Min
ing Company, one of his concerns. It
was strongly suspected that he was using
the mails fraudulently, but when ar
raigned he made such an eloquent plea
that he was not indicted. In the same
way the postal authorities have been
watching the Pacific Northwest Realty
Company.
Davidor has an office In the Wells
Fargo building.
CHORUS AFTER MONEY
COMMITTEES START OUT THIS
MORXIXG FOR $2000.
This Is Sum Needed to Insure Ap
pearance of Organization at
A.-Y.-P. Oregon Day.
This morning at 9 o'clock a committee
of women will begin work calling on
business men in this city to raise the
balance of $2o00 necessary to pay the ex
penses of the Portland Festival Chorus
that will visit the A-Y-P Exposition at
Seattle, Wash., and sing choruses there
at the Auditorium Hall on the night of
Oregon day, July 9. A redhot campaign
to raise the money was planned last
night at a meeting of the chorUs. and
Tom Richardson, of the Commercial
Club, made a characteristic speech,
which enthused the young women sing
ers, upon whom falls the principal bur
den as collectors.
"It is true that Portland's rich men
give to more enterprises than any other
business men along the Pacific Corst,"
said Mr. Richardson, "and they should
be given credit for the magnificent work
they are doing in this direction and for
their liberality. Explain what you want
the money for and you will succeed in
raising the sum aimed at. The Port
land Festival Chorus, now that it has
been invitted to, must sing at the A-Y-P
Exposition. There must be no falling
down in this proposition. Men are not
much good in this sort of work, and I
look to you younug women to make the
best collectors, for I believe you can raise
the money. When you get to Seattle you
should board trolley cars as a chorus
and sing your way to the Exposition
grounds. This will be an admirable ad
vertisement for Portland. Mind you, it's
the unconventional that counts. All the
people of this city should rally to sup
port this chorus."
Mr. Richardson's remarks were greeted
with applause and President Goodrich
and Conductor W. 11. Boyer followed
with speeches.
Mrs. Warren E. Thomas is chairman
of the committees who are to begin work
to raase, the $2000. and the heading at the
top of each subscription list will read:
We. th undersigned, hereby agree to
contribute the amounts set opposite our re
spective names to help defray expenses of
the Portland Festival Chorus at the A-Y-P
Kxposition' on Oregon day. July 9.
The secretary of the committee is Miss
H. E. Monroe and the committee mem

One of Best-Known Pioneers

Prominent Part in Early-Day
Activities of State Lived on
Original Farm Till Death.
Francis Revenue, one of the .best
known pioneers of Eastern Clackamas
County, died at his home. Just below
Sandy, Monday night,' at the age of 95
years. He had been in failing health for
some time, and was in a helpless condi
tion. Francis Revenue was born in New Or
leans, September 13, 1813, and when he
was 5 years old his parents returned to
their home in France, and the lad was
left in the care of an uncle, with whom
he remained" until 16 years of age, when
he learned the cooper trade. Later he be
came a sailor, and made several voyages
around the world.
In 1853 he crossed the plains to' Oregon
and located upon his - farm near Sandy,
where he secured 320 acres, of land. He
engaged in general farming and dairying.
He was a progressive citizen of the neigh
borhood. In the early days he established him
self in friendly relations with the Indians,
and because of their confidence in him
he was able to prevent much trouble be
tween them and the emigrants who trav
eled past his home. Mr. Revenue built
the first bridge over the Sandy River, and
aided in establishing schools and improv
ing the roads of that neighborhood.
Mr. Revenue was married in 1849 to Miss
Leda A. Lawrence, and to them nine chil
dren were born, of whom the following
survive: John H.. of Sandy; Lucy, of
California; Matilda and Alice, of Port
land; Edward A., of Sandy; Dode Reve
nue, of Klamath Falls, and Lawrence, of
Sandy. Mr. Revenue Is kindly remem
bered by many pioneers of the North
