Police officers are looking forward to a busy day and night with the car rlers of concealed weapons and those discharging firearms within the city limits. The officers have been In structed to arrest any person fonnd burning- gun-powder In any form Two arrests for violations of the new ordinance were made yesterday, both being Chine who have been dealing In fireworks In Ignorance of the new regu lations against them.

He had prepared a statement riving In a genersl way his opinion of the duties of an official. "I supposed 1 wouia oe statement and T hare prepared some thing here thst may be taken for what It 1 worth." said the new Chief. The statement follows: "Some people are very feverish and smbltlous for place. They wish to be conspicuous. Influential and prominent. They court office. They long for power. They will do almost anything for an exalted position. They seldom suffi ciently consider the Increased responsi bilities In the fulfillment of their de sires. It Is mere flare and glitter of station by which they are captivated, without laying to heart the additional Jeopardr which It Imposes, and there are some who seem to consider offlc a full license for them to do as they plesse. "They forget with what a Jealous eye God looks upon those Invested with public Influence and trust. A misstep by them Is no common offense In his formed by tb clerks that positively no fireworks wer to be had in the city.

A sin more aggra vated than ordinary sin. what In other men might be considered trivial, in them is held to a most strict accounta bility. Let the public men consider this and tremble when they lay hold of the helm of power. "Office Is a solemn and awful thing. It Is a momentous trust, a fearful charge, and It Is to be entered Into reverently and discreetly and In the fesr of God. Over Its portals are writ ten this Inscription In letters of flame: "Let him who enters here beware of a Jealous God within.' "If any would enter office let him read that inscription and tread softly, lest It should prove to him the gate way to death and perdition. "There Is a very serious augmenta tion of responsibility going along with high station. A public man Is some what like a town clock, upon which much more depends than upon private time pieces. A man's watch gets wrong and It Is only he who 1 misled. But, when the great public clock gets out of the way multitudes are deceived and the whole community is lead astray or thrown Into confusion. Hence, the ne cessity for greater care and attention with reference to the on than the other. "Every official personage Is responsi ble beyond a common Individual for the reason and to the extent that his office or station represents others besides himself. A parent la responsible be yond a child because ha acts for Influ ences and represents the child. A minister Is responsible beyond one of his congregation because he. In a meas ure, acts for Influences and represents those who attend his ministrations. A Judge maintains the same relation to his subjects.

CITY AFFAIRS ARE STUDIED Dceplte Sickness Executive Is at Office All Day Discussing Poll- cies to Be Observed In Conduct of Office. Mayor Rushlight suffered a relapse late Sunday night and was very sick ontil i o'clock yesterday morning. He ate some squab for Sunday dinner, this being the first meat he had eaten since he was poisoned by ptomaines shortly after his election. June 5. While weak ened, he nevertheless appeared at the executive office early for business and remained on duty all day. presiding at his first Executive Board meeting at 4 o'clock In the afternoon. The Mayor yesterday discussed poli cies concerning various important busi ness, including paving, water meters and the Police Department. He in tends to make a careful study of all city affairs, making himself familiar with them, as soon as possible. Hard Surface Favored. In discussing; the policy to be fol lowed by him with regard to paving, the Mayor said that he prefers hard surface improvements to gravel or macadam, but that he will be guided by the wishes of property owners in this respect. "I shall favor giving to property owners whatever kind of pavement or street Improvement they want," said he. "1 favor hard-surface streets, but I am not at all Inclined to foist these kind of pavements upon property owners who are trying to buy a home or who are unable to meet their obligations. Neither am I In favor of large district Improvement In outlying places. I shall, however, keep the prices on all kinds of paving down to what Is right." The Mayor spoke very highly of Captain Plover, who will be at the head of the Follce Department indefinitely, lie also ald that he will make a per sonal study of this department, as well as others. In order to know what con ditions prevail and what action Is necessary to Improve the service. He fully realises that this Is one of the most Important branches of the city government and evidently Intends to keep a close watch upon It. Water Meters Urged. As published In The Oregonlan four weeks ago. Mayor Rushlight Is in favor of the installation of water meters In the residences of Portland, as well as In the larger places, such as manufac turing plants, laundries and the like. It Is his belief that this system will result In a very material saving In th water supply, so that there will be no shortage of water at any season of th year. He also believes that it Is one way to equalize rates. The Mayor spent much of. the time yesterday going over ordinances, which were passed by th last City Council session. Tomorrow morning he will announce the City Council committee appointments, which will complete his work of appointments for the most ""lie probably will not do much out side work this week, owing to the con tltlon of his health, but If he is Im proved, h probably will malt some trips of inspection next week. Including one to the garbage crematory. REALTY MEN CHARTER BOAT Excursion Down Willamette Satur day Limited to 50.

United States District tAorney Mc Court said yesterday that he does not think Collier's Weekly violated the Oregon law by selling In Oregon Its last issue on the cover page of which' are two American flags used as the wings of an aeroplane. "There Is a provisinon of the law which says. This act shall not apply to the regular issue of a newspaper or other periodical on which shall be printed said flag disconnected from any advertisement, said Mr. McCourt. "In my opinion the words 'Collier's, the National Weekly,' do not constitute advertising, but are merely the title to the publication. They are a term of identification, and rot an adver tisement, any more than is tne uue line on our daily papers. Therefore I don't think District Attorney Cameron is right in ordering the magazine not to be sold." WERLEIN YIELDS OFFICE Millions Belonging to City Submit ted to New Treasurer. J. E.
