Although several other members of the department ar on the- "eligible" list, the acting authority has not yet taken action As predicted In The Oregonlan sev eral days ago. the to or more members of the department who are slated for dismissal will b reached gradually. There Is no apparent intention on the part of the administration to weed them out simultaneously. Blue en slopes will be Issued to those who are scheduled to go at the rate of one or two a day.

Police Commissioner Cof,frr would not agree to a minimum fine for these offenders and. If necessary, will appear personally In the Municipal Court to-lay to Insist that the China men Included In the raid of last Sat urday night are fined an amount that he regards Is warranted by the offense with which they are charged. A few unfortunate women, undertak ing to ply their trade In the outlying districts, are being arrested and haled Into Police Court. Disorderly houses In the heart of the city are not disturbed. The small army of maciuereaux that Infests the prominent street corners of tie business district enjoy Immunity. When It comes to detecting these leeches, members of the police depart ment apparently are suffering from Impaired eyesight. They seem to be unable to distinguish the man with a dinner-bucket from the man who lives off the earnings of a woman. Just why this oversight goes cannot be under stood by those who give to Mayor Rushlight any credit for sincerity in his announced Intention of driving these parasites out of the city. Ivnnovan Important Witness. Angered at the fact that when Kd Iwnnvin, proprietor of a North End saloon, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of conducting a disorderly house, he was allowed to go on hla own recognisance without ball. County Ietectlve Maher yesterday applied to Julge Taxweii for a bench warrant for Ionovan. Tazwell Issued the warrant and Iwnorin was taken to the police station by Patrolmen Stack and Lytle. where he was required to put up $000 bail. Ivtnovaa is believed to have some evidence which Maher needs In the coming session of the grand Jury and the release of Donovan without any ball to hold him In the city led to a scurrying about at the station yester day until Ionovan was brought in and the ball put up. Patrolman Parker declares that tie did not get a fair deal from the Police Department. In thmt he was suspended without being railed before the Chief and asked to explain hla conduct, tie says he did not know of his suspension until ha came to report off from his re lief and his star was taken away from him. Explaining the circumstances which led to charges being placed against him, Parker said: "Charges preferred bv Mabel Maa C"tl and Christian Kens against me are wholly untrue and without any grounds. 1 have at no time spoken over half a doxen words to any one of them. These young ladles got on the merry-go-round last night anil hail no tickets and were promptly put off by the manager. As It huppened, later on In the evening. Ned Brackett. a South Portland boy, who .persisted In creat ing a disturbance and would not desist when told, had to be taken to the sta tion. To sum it all up, he Is a friend of the young ladles and charges grow ing out of this occurrence are made through malice.' Investigation to Continue. The graft charges against County Wtectlv Maher and others undoubt edly will be brought to a close this morning when Arroand Fercot. Frank Mlnto and possibly one or two others will be taken before the County Court to tell what they know. The final hearing was to have been held jester day by the County Court, but the In ability of Fercot to attend on account of sickness caused a postponement. He probably will be on hand this morning. In a deposition taken yesterday at Seaside. Fercot declared that he had never paid a cent for "protection pur poses to county officials or anyone else, tie said that when Tony Arnaud testi fied before the County Court that he I Fercot) had contributed liberally to the "protection Jackpot. "he must have been eraxy." I'croot Make Denial. "If Tony said I gave him some money." said Fercot, "he must have been crazy: there must be something behind him. I always considered him as a crasy fellow, anyway. He acts as a crasy fellow to me part of the time. Fercot's denial along with that of Donovan to the same effect Wednesday makea the whole proposition look like a frame-up against Maher and the others. Maher said last night that he is going to take the matter up further at once: be Is far from through with the leaders of the North End aggrega tion which tried hard to prove some thing against him. bat which failed when Fercot. Donovan and others went back on them In the matter of the protection fund. Undesirables Seek Outskirts, That the parasites and other un desirable of Portland, who have been The T. M. C.
