Rabbi Says New York Mayor
Should Restore Bingham
and Then Resign.
ASSAILS POLITICAL PURITY
Treacher Declares City's Head "XTn

He AVould Be. Recalled If
That Law Were Operative.
XKW TOnK. July 11. (Special.)
"Mayor McClellan should restore Gen
eral Bingham as head of the police de
partment or resign, it would be pref
erable If he did both," said Dr. Stephen
S. Wise, rabbi of the Free Synagogue.
Dr. Wise remarked that If the re
call were operative In New York "Mc
Clellarv would be recalled with a
unanimity that would admit of no ne
cessity for a recount."
lie also expressed a desire to apolo
gize for a remark he made at the
Cooper I'nlon meeting recently, when
ho alluded to the Mayor as "an amiable
Invertebrate." "And I do hereby apol
ogize," a filled the doctor gravely, "for
he since Jfl" proved that he Is not an
amiable Invertebrate, hut an unamiable
Invertebrate, as flabbily In the wrong
as he is feebly in the right.
"McClellan has prostituted his high
office In taking the department of law
and order out of true and tried hands
at the command of the lawless and
corrupt, and making It a pawn in the
miserable game of politics. Either Gen
eral Bingham or Mayor McClellan Is
guilty of malfeasance In office. If it
is General Itlngham we have a right
to know. If General Bingham he not
guilty, then the Mayor is guilty of a
betrayal of his trust. We ought to
have the restoration of Bingham or the
resignation of McClellan.
"Back of the action of the Mayor
lies promotion of the police set of
rowdies and thugs who don't want an
honest and clean chief and always are
ready to ally themselves with the forces
of lawlessness and disorder. The
Mayor's action serves notice upon the
honest men in the department that no
Binghams are wanted and to the men
of the department who are not straight
It brings solace and hope."

These thoughts, illuminating our lives

and in art we see the symbol of what is
still the deepest reality in human ex

angel of Joy. No human being can be
wholly miserable who is a genuine worker

Ill feeling exists between the police of

Council have been asked to take a hand.
Thomas Hopkins, City Marshal, made
complaint against J. Preston, his deputy,

matter before the Council, but could not

TWO-GENT FARE COSTLY
ROADS LOSE HEAVILY BECAUSE
OF REDUCTION'.
More People Travel, but Additional
Men and Equipment Is Need
ed In Handling Traffic.
CHICAGO, July 11. (Special.) The
claim of Illinois railroads that the 2-cent
rate, while stimulating travel to a marked
degree, had reduced the revenues of roads
from passenger traffic almost to the
ruination point, Is borne out by a com
prehensive investigation by the Santa Fe
road.
The Illinois Railroad Commission in
sists the law has been beneficial to the
roads. The latter say they have been
compelled to employ much additional
equipment and more help to handle the
Increased travel, which did not, by a
large sum, compensate them for the extra
expense.
The Santa Fe worked under the onerA-
tlon of a similar law In Kansas, where a
careiui recora was kept for the first
year. The Santa Fe carried 654.000 more
passengers man it did the year pre
vlously under the 3-cent law. Mpar.
while revenues from passenger traffic for
xne same period decreased $297,000.
Railway men say this does not begin
to tell the real loss, which Is to he fnn

WOMAN'S ESCORT ROBBED
Pickpockets Steal $56. 50 From Con

Nathaniel "W. Baker. a ),,,iHinr
contractor, living at 647 First

midnight last night that he had been
the victim of pickpockets at Third
and Yamhill streets a little earlier in
the night. The light fingered gentry
had robbed him of his purse contain
ing $56.50. he said.
Mr. Baker was assisting a young
woman on the car at the time of the
robbery. As he was assisting the
young woman several people . were
crowded about him so he was unable
to determine who was the guilty one in
the crowd. He gave the police a de

Detective Leaves for Idaho to Claim
Prisoner First Degree Mur
der Charge Is Filed.
He Fights Camera.
When Melville G. Bradley is returned
to Portland to -face trial for the murder
of Patrolman John W. Gittlngs he will
find hla wife, .over whom the fatal shot
is said to have been fired, wedded to
another. The wedding took place last
December, one year almost to the day,
from the date- of Glttings' death and
Bradley's flight and District Attorney
Cameron haa thus far been unable to
ascertain whether the woiflan was
divorced from her fugitive husband be
fore her second nuptials. Eight months
ago she became the wife of John Kako
unas, a Greek, many years her junior,
who conducts the Stockholm saloon and
rooming-house, at Sl Third street North,
where the couple lives.
Bradley was formally charged with
murder yesterday when a complaint was
drawn up against him in District Attorney
Cameron's office on the sworn statement
of Detective John Price, who was as
signed to the case at the time of the
killing. The document makes the charge
one of murder in the first degree and
cites that the shooting was deliberate and
premeditated. A warrant will be issued
today from the Municipal Court and ex
tradition papers will be applied for im
mediately.
Detective Tom Coleman left Portland
for Idaho Falls yesterday morning on the
10 o'clock train. He will arrive at his
destination some time this afternoon, and
will endeavor to bring Bradley back with
out legal formality. He may have some
difficulty in persuading Bradley to waive
extradition as telegrams received by
Chief Cox yesterday from Chief Fisher of
Idaho- Falls, state that Bradley has an
nounced his intention to fight his re
moval from Idaho. The warrant and ex
tradition papers will bo forwarded to the
detective as soon as prepared that he
may act without delay in case Bradlev
Is obdurate.
That Bradley fears to return to the
scene of his crime and face trial Is made
manifest by the reports which have
reached Chief Cox of the prisoner's de
meanor since his apprehension in Idaho.
After his identity had been established
fully to the satisfaction of Chief Fisher,
even to a little defect in one of his
fingers, which was one of Bradley's most
important distinguishing marks, it was
suggested that a photograph be taken of
Bradley ajid sent to Portland. To this
Bradley positively refused to submit. It
Is said that he Joked about his arrest
when first taken, but when he found
that the police were in earnest he grew
uuen, abusive and even threatening.
The poor reputation of Mrs. Bradley
may aid Bradley's case, as Gittlngs, the
man slain, was twice brought up before
the Police Commission and reprimanded
for alleged misconduct with Mrs. Brad
ley and with her sister. Mrs. Aggie Zan
ders. The police records show, that since
Mrs. Bradley's recent marriage she has
been arrested several times. On Jan
uary 31 Detectives Kay and Kienlen
arrested her for maintaining a disorderly
nouse at sift rnird street North, and on
February 5 Patrolman Stillwell arrested
her.
Mrs. Gittlngs is still living in the
little shack at 71 Humboldt street. Just
after her husband's death a baby was
born to her. She was In a critical con
dition for a long time and through the
efforts of the wives of patrolmen and
others was provided with hospital
treatment and care. The house and lot
she occupies were bought and secured
lor tne mother and children bv monev
subscribed among the Portland police.
jrroris Dy tne juvenile Court authori
ties to remove the Bradley children
from their parents' custody showed
that Bradley seemed as equally unfit
for their charge as their mother and
the children were allowed to stay in the
Bradley home after promises of both
parties that they would, mend their
ways.
Bradley was known as a man ugly
when in drink and a rough fighter.
Shortly before the killing of Gittlngs,
Bradley became involved in a stabbing
affray with a man named Anderson in
Hillsboro, Or. The fight was supposed
to have been caused through some
trouble over Mrs. Bradley. Bradley got
out of this plight, as did Mrs- Bradley,
who was arrested in Hillsboro when
found In a hotel with Anderson. Git
tlngs secured a leave of absence and
going to Hillsboro when Mrs. Bradley
was in Jail he was instrumental In se
curing her release.

Miss Ethel Jeffrey, the 17-year-old
girl who confessed last week to steal
