ALL POLICE FORCE
TOSSED BY CHANGE
-Two Captains Shifted, Six De:
.: tectives Back on Beats.
Three Sergeants Reduced.
iLAXITY SHAKEUP CAUSE
'm Xong-Threatened TTpheaval Comes at
Month-End Xew Appointments
; J Are Temporary Five Patrol
j men Are Promoted.
Basing its action on the police rec-
fords for the last month, which are al
- leged to- show neglect and Inefficiency
on the part of a large number of the
, . police force, the police committee of the
-Executive Board, acting through Acting
'.Chief Slover, gave the department yes
terday the greatest shakeup that has
"been felt In its whole history. Two
. "captains, six detective sergeants, three
'patrol sergeants and nearly half of the
..catrolmen are more or less aneciea.
"The department was agog yesterday
with discussions of the meaning of the
move.
"For the srood of the service" Is the
.-stock Dhrase with which Chairman
Coffey and Chief Slover evaded all com
,'ment upon the move. "There are no
' charges against any of these men." they
said, "and if they do police duty in tne
, nositions to which they have been as
signed, this will be the last of .the
change."
Moore and Baty Moved.
Abandonment of the expressed desire
to rid the police force of 50 men Is be
lleved to be shown by the transfers.
The most notable change is the
transfer of Captain of Detectives Moore
to the uniformed day relief and of Cap
tain Baty from that position to the one
left vacant by Moore. Captain Moore
has been for two years the head of the
detective department, and Captain Baty
held the position for about an equal
time before him. Captain Moore is at
present on his vacation, but will return
to duty in a few days.. -His removal,
and those of six of his sergeants and
, two plain-clothes men, is said to be due
to a study of the arrest docket during
the past month, which, it is said, shows
little activity on the part of the detec
ttves. The men reply by saying that
this Is their dull season, and much of
the best work they do does not lead to
. arrests.
New Sleuths Named.
Detective Sergeants Hellyer, Moloney
Tichenor, Howell, Sloan and Endicott
are reduced to the rank of patrolmun.
with a consequent reduction of salary,
and all but Moloney and Sloan go to the
second night relief.
In place of these men, new detectives
appointed are: Fred Mallett. R. H.
Craddock, now serving In that depart
ment, as plain-clothes men; James
Hunter, the Bertillon expert, who will
continue in his duties with the In
creased rank, and Sergeants Klenlen
and Smith, of the uniformed force.
To these are added as detectives, with
the rank of patrolman, John Abbott,
now in that capacity; John Moloney,
acting captain of detectives, in the ab
sence of Captain Moore, Patrolmen
Lytle and Swennes. whose activity in
' running down parasites has won the
warm approval of the Chief; Patrol-
. men Taft and Ackerman, who have- had
equal success In detecting white-slavers
. and vendors of liquor and drugs, and
Patrolman Royle, who, while serving
is motorcycle officer, has demonstrated
i . his Initiative ability. Fred Graves,
night clerk at detective headquarters,
' md William Hyde, partner of Joe Day,
are returned to the uniformed ranks.
! Goltz Is Reduced.
Three uniformed sergeants lose their
: stripes. John Goltz, who during all the
. Investigations of the past year and
more has been in charge of the North
End on the first night relief, will pa
t trol a beat on the day relief. Goltz was
i removed to the East Side when the new
administration came in, and has been
; an efficient officer.
j H. Carlson, who was appointed ser
: geant quite recently and was on the
harbor patrol boat until a. few days
; ago. when he was shifted to a district,
is another to lose his command. Ina
: bility to cope with the situation Is all
, that Is held against him. Frank Pat
; ton, a veteran of the Civil War, is the
' third sergeant to be reduced. He had
i .charge of part of the East Side in the
J early night until the change of admtn-
lstration. when he was shifted to the
J second night relief In the same district.
It was whispered that the change came
tfrom Patton's political activity in the
I .recent election. Patton. an old man,
- forced to take a hi district dnrlnr m.
period when there were no cars run
ning, murmured, and his downfall Is
supposed to have resulted from that.
V. Five Sergeants New.
Five new uniformed sergeants -are
named. One of them Is R. H. Stahl.
who was decorated last year for his
courage in battling with a highwayman
and killing him. E. E. Lyon, a medal
of honor man from the Army, with an
excellent record, also received his chev
rons. Lyon, late of Company B, Sec
ond Oregon Infantry, served In the
Spanish War and the Philippine Insur
rection. He was selected as ane of
General Lawton's scouts because of his
bravery in action. He was one of a
few soldiers who were presented with
the gold medal for distinguished serv
ice on the field. He received the thanks
of Congress after the return of the
regiment to Portland, and was compli
mented by General Lawton and Gen
eral Summers for his work at Taxbon
bridge, in Luzon, when he led the brave
band of scouts across the Tualihan
River. r
Joseph Burke, one of the oldest
members of the force; Thomas Casey,
private secretary to the Chief, and Her.
man Oelsner, who made a fine record
in the North End, are the other ap
pointees. All the new appointments are tem
porary and subject to being vacated
when an examination under the classi
fication made last Wednesday by the
Civil Service Commission develops en

60 Changes Made.
"Examination of the records showed
that results were not being obtained,"
said the head of the department yester
day. "The captains being appealed to,
. seemed satisfied that their men were
doing all possible and could suggest no
improvement. So the change had to
come."
Including the men reduced , to the
.ranks, 66 changes are made in the re
Jliefs, "for the good of the service."
. Not having qualified for their posi
tions by examination, none of tlf-men
'reduced has any ground for appeal. It
ls said, and the general disposition
'among them yesterday aeemed to be to
isccept the inevitable. Men who had

not worn a uniform for years were
seen getting out helmets and blue coats
and all professed to accept the change
as "a part of the business."
"What are the chafges?" asked one
sergeant, when Informed that he had
been decapitated.
"No charges at all," was the reply.
"Oh, then I don't. care where they
put me," he said.

CONTRACT IS PROMISED
MAYOR ,S NEAR HUMORIST
Mr. Seton. Named Chairman of Dele
gation to Visit Gaelic League.
While Mayor Rushlight Is not classi
fied as a humorist, nevertheless he
showed a streak of wit yesterday that
entitles him to "honorable mention."
At a session of the Executive Board,
while there was a lull In business, the
Mayor produced a letter, printed In
green Ink, with the name of the Gaelic
League, Ireland, engraved on the let
ter head. It proved to be a cordial In
vitation from the local organization to
the Mayor and members of the Board
to attend a meeting of the League, to
be held tonight at the Baker Theater.
'The invitation will be accepted."
said the Mayor without hesitation.
and If there be no objection I will ap
point Mr. Seton as chairman of a com
mittee to escort the members to the
meeting."
In his richest Scandinavian accents.
Mr. Seton, astonished at the honor thus
suddenly thrust upon him and wonder-
ng it the eternal fitness of things was
being properly conserved, sought to
enter a protest and to suggest the
names of John B. Coffey and M. J.
Murnane, Irish members of the Board,
but he was stopped by the Mayor, who
would brook no Interference.

Rushlight to Demand That All
Pavers Treat City Fairly and Ex-,
ecutive Board Concurs Sensa-
sations Many in Sessions.
Kenton district will be paved with
Westrimumite, providing the Pacific
Coast Westrumite Company quotes
Mayor Rushlight a rate on repair ma
terials which meets his ideas of how
a paving company should treat the'city
which provides It with work and the
courts do not Interfere. The executive
Board expressed that intention yester
day afternoon.
A day filled with mild sensations In
special sessions of the street committee
of the board, closed with a declaration
by the Mayor at the meeting of the
Executive Board at :c o'clock that he
would not sign the contract for the
Westrumite district in Kenton unless
William Lind, secretary-treasurer of
the company holding the patents,
quotes him a rate of actual cost for
materials to be used by the city in
repairing streets after the paving con
tractors' maintenance runs out, five
years after , the acceptance of the
streets.
R. A.Leiter, attorney for the Pacific
Coast Westrumite Company, assured
the Mayor and members of the Exec
utive Board that the company intends
to do the right thing by the city and
that he would . furnish without delay
to the Mayor a written contract as to
the price for which the materials will
be furnished the city. Mr. Letter's
attitude In the controversy that raged
all day over the Westrumite proposl
tlon was that the company would pro
tect the city and property owners at
all events, should the contracts be
awarded, and he won his case after all
sides had been given a chance to be
heard. ,
. Cost Prices Demanded.
Mayor RusHlight declared, in con
nection with the Westrumite work.
that he believed every paving company
operating in the city should furnish to
the city at actual cost materials of
patented kinds at their actual cost for
repair work, and said he did not pro
pose to sign any more contracts un
less they do so.
"As it appears to me." said the
Mayor, "it is no more than, right for
these paving companies to provide ma
teral at cost to the city for doing this
repair work after the first maintenance
runs out. Inasmuch as they get their
work in the city and reap considerable
revenue, they should, I feel, treat the
city in this manner."
Although efforts were made to find
Anton Giebisch, a local contractor, that
the street committee could ask him
under oath whether he was quoted a
special price for Westrumite dressing,
he could not be found and the com
mittee had to make up its report with
out a direct statement from him.
There were several sensations In
the two sessions of the committee.
Kenton property owners swarmed about
the Council Chamber, demanding that
the contracts be awarded to Elwood
Wiles, the lowest bidder. They de
nounced Attorney Arthur Langguth.
who said he represented a property
owner, but who refused to give the
name, and Mr. Langguth, in turn,
snapped his fingers at the Kentonites
and said he would "show who the
client is" if the contracts were let
He threatens to enjoin the work be
cause of alleged lack of competition, in
that he says Wiles got a special rate
for the materials over that quoted to
other contractors.
One Contradicts Other.
At the morning session of the com
mittee Wiles testified that Lind made
him a rate of 65 cents for top-dressing
materials and 20 cents a square yard
for screenings. It was on this basis.
he swore, that he submitted his bid of
$1.60 a yard for the Kenton Westrumite
paving.
Lind took the stand and testified
that he had never given Wiles any
such quotation, but said that Wiles
had tried to buy him out offering to
pay him all of the money Lind had in
the paving business, and that- Wiles
said, in talking over paving in gen
eral, that Lind, if he continued, would
"be up against it"; that Lind could get
no money to work on, and that he had
best sell out
This was taken to mean that Wiles
wanted Lind to get out of the "paving
game" that the field would not be
crowded and competition would be less
keen. Wiles made that proposal, Lind
said,, before the bids for the Kenton
district were submitted.
Wiles' bid aggregated, in round num
bers, $80,000. Hilliard & McGlnnis' bid
was about $2500 higher, as they bid
$1.70 a square yard, based on 80 cents
a yard for the Westrumite' materials,
exclusive of the screenings. Keenan
Bros., contractors, bid at 80 cents a
yard for the Westrumite patented
article, but Attorney Langguth, repre
senting a mysterious client, submitted
an affidavit to show that Anton Gie
bisch, of the contracting firm of
Giebisch & Joplin, had been offered a
rate of 60 cents a yard for Westrumite
dressing. Giebisch could not be found
and the session adjourned until after
noon to hear his statement direct.
