PARKER DENIED HEARING
Refusal to Con rid rr Case of Dis
charged Policeman Taken aa
Precedent Showing Mayor's
Power Orer City iTniplojes.
Mayor Roshllght has the absolute
backing of the Clrll Perrlce Ctmmls
elon In his efforts to rid the police de
partment of so-called Incompetents or
worse, as Is shown In the action of
that body yesterday' la refusing point
blank to recognize In an application
for a hearing br Harry E. Parker any
grounds for consideration. Parker did
not say. In his statement, that he waa
discharged for religious or political
reasons and the Commissioners were
unanimous In the opinion that they
have no Jurisdiction.
This." said Commissioner Logan.
-Is Just like the case of ex-Pergeant
Cole, who recently appealed and whose
case came before us. He failed to aay
that be was dismissed for political or
rell clous reasons, and we could not
consider his rase; hence we can't eon
elder Mr. Parker's case."
CamnlaaloB la t'aaalaseaa.
"That Is the Tlew I take of It," com
mented Commissioner Willis. "Thrre
Is no ground stated la Mr. Parker'a
complaint that Is sufficient to give this
commission Jurisdiction. It must allege
thai he was let out for either on of
the two reasons prescribed by the peo
ple when they adopted the amendment
to the charter rellgloua or political."
Commissioner Armstrong erressrd
himself as la strict accord .with toe
Tlewa of his colleagues and tha case
was closed. If Psrker la reinstated,
it must be through soma court process,
and aa he waa recently ruled out of tha
Circuit Court on a demurrer by the
city to his complaint. It la kellered
that the case Is closed there.
I'arker waa a patrolman. Ha was
accused by two young glrla of mak
ing Improper proposala to them and
waa found guilty of the charge after
a hearing by the police rommlltea of
the Executive Board. This la ample
evidence of the fact that the Hush
light administration baa virtually a
free hand to dismiss any employs
under the classified clrll service, who
may be dee me J unlit for his or her pos
ition. Three Qaallfy for laageetar.
When Mayor Rushlight first took
charge of the office. It waa doubted
Just how much authority be had to
discharge employee under the civil ser
vlce. but It now seems that It la
clearly shown that be has unlimited
authority, so long aa he Is able to
show aa good a caae aa In the preced
ing ones.
Examination papere for chief elec
toral Inspector In the office of tha
Hulldlng Inspector were announced,
and It was found that the three high
est on the eligible list are E. R. Shep
ard. K. F. Iunlap and Blrthll Ander
son. The position is one created by
the new building code and a salary
of 111 a month attaches to It.
CITT TO DEFEND POLICEMEX
Council Cornea to Ileacne of Officer
Sued by Gamblers
Making an Impassioned plea for legal
barking for the police who have been
sued In the Federal Court for damages
and aaalnst whom an Injunction baa
been Issued. John R. Coffey, chairman
of the police committee of the Ex
ecutive Board, yesterday afternoon
won his point before the ways and
moans committee of the City Council.
City Attorney Orant will defend the
men. who Include Acting Chief Slover.
Captain Bailey and subordinates, who
raided Chinese establishments recently
and had to break down barred doors
to Ket In.
Cl'.y Attorney Grant waa loth to take
up the case, as he said that L A. Mc
Nmry and J. P. Kavanaugh. ex-City At
torney, had held It not to be within
their ol&ctal duties to defend policemen
In such instances. He said, however,
that he la Interested In seeing the law
enforced, and that In this case. If tha
Council so directed him. he waa will
ing to do his beet for the policemen
UDlr fire.
-Well. It Is Just thla way." said Mr.
Coffey. "If the city does not back
three officers who have raided these
Chinese places and who are trying thus
to enforce the laws, the lawa will not
bs enforced, for they can't afford to
pay out their salaries for legal de
fenses." i
-Yea. and if we don't enforce tha
laws." efcimed In Acting Chief Slover,
-we are subject to Indictment."
-If yon enforce the Laws." said Mr.
Coffey, -you are dragged Into court at
(real expense: If you don't enforce the
laws, there's the indictment. It's sim
ply unfair, and I ask you to find a way
out of It."
City Attorney Grant, said Mr. Coffey,
had inclined to the poaltlon that he
would not defend the cases, and It waa
Just a question of whether the Council
would appropriated unds for a defense.
Chairman Wallace and members of tha
committee felt that the City Attorney
should take the cases, and decided to
aend tir him. which they did. He then
exp'.alned the opinion or his predeces
sor In office.
-Of course." said Mr. Grant. I am
Interested In seeing the law enforced,
but I don't want this case to be taken
as a precedent to the end that my of -flea
la supposed to handle every case
that Is brought against a policeman;
Mr. Coffey will pleaae fully understand
that. If the Council dlrecta me In this
particular case to defend these police
men. I will certainly do so.
It took the committee but a brief
pace of time so to order, and Mr.
Grant therefore will have charge of
the rases, which have been brought In
the Federal Court by counsel for the
Chinese gamblers. The raids netted
many Chinese, who havs already been
fined for gambling.
Chairman Wallace was at first
somewhat skeptical about the actions
of the police In raiding the resorts
where It was necessary to batter down
doors, but City Attorney Grant gave It
as bis opinion that the fact that such
doors were there was evidence that
something waa wrong, giving the po
lice the rleht to break them down.
Mr. Coffey gave it aa his opinion
that the Chinese will "not bs so hot
after proaecutlon of the police officials
If they find that the city Is determined
to enforce the laws and is going to
defend Its officers. He said he thought
ths Chinese want two things to en
iola ths Plce temporarily, at least.
them that they will leave w gam
bling dena alone.
ADMEN TALK0F OYSTERS
Culture and Shipping of BWalTe Dis
cussed at Luncheon.
The "Sealahtpr" oyster system was
the topic of discussion at the Ad Club
luncheon yesterday. Nell Hamblen,
district manager for the "Fealshlpt"
company being the leading speaker.
Hamblen described the methods of
oyster culture for commercial pur
poses, saying In the course of his ad
dress that he did not believe the
waters of the Pacific Ocean along the
Northweet Coast were well adapted to
oyster raising for commercial pur
poses, because they were too cold.
Oysters developed best, be said. In
the parts of the ocean where the
currents are uniformly warm. Pacific
Coast oyster beds, however, could be
made fairly successful, he thought, al-

hla client. Attorney E. B. J. McAllis
ter will today apply to the Judge for a
Judgment, notwithstanding the verdict
In the case of P. Petcoff and e'hers

contends that it la an elementary prin
ciple of law that where It Is desired to
Introduce evidence of fraud It Is neces

the admission of evidence to show al
leged fraud and tha next day reversed
his decision.
Attorney McAllister nnnounces that
If he falle In this motion he will move
to set the verdict aside on the ground
that It was contrary to the law in the
case and on the additional ground that
It was not Justified by the evidence.

compared with the slaughter that Is In
atore for China." declared M. A. Keea.

"The revolution In China 1 far from

miliar with affairs In that country."
contlnued Mr. Keea. who la a ue.t of
ths Portland association. "Our only
aurprlse Is that It came so soon: most
of us thought ths uprUlns would not
corns tor two years yt- But that It
sura to occur."
Saeeeas la Predicted.
Mr Keea be'.levea that the revolu

ises that they have a mighty strus;jls
before them.
"The revolutionary feellne; Is very
tronr amona- the youna; Chinese," he
-j "it u Impossible to estimate Just
what their strength Is. but dissatisfac
tion with the rullna; dynasty Is ndeed
widespread. If the revolutionists are
able to capture several large cities, so
that their finances may ba strength
ened, there Is little doubt as to the
ultimate outcome.
-But It will be a most bloody strusr
,l There are few places on earth
where human life Is held so lightly as
in China. The hatred of the Manchus Is
Intense snd If they are overcome they

other hand, there Is no doubting the
fate of the revolutionary leaders If
their cause Is lost.
nnlnm Taonset Safe.
"I do not think that thefe Is any
great danger for roreignera in
Their greatest danger would come In
event the revolutionists overthrew the
existing government and then should
prove unable to set up a strong gov
ernment of their own. In fact, the
establishing of a strong government. In
case the revolutionists win. Is the
gravest problem that China faces. If
the new government should bs weak.
there la danger that the mob spirit
would run riot. The mob spirit is
strong In the Chinese, and if It should
be given free play, foreign residents of
China would be endangered.
"There Is Just one other contingency
that mlirht mean trouble for foreigners.
If the Manchus see that their doom Is
certain. It Is possible they might turn
upon the aliens, hoping in that man
ner to draw foreign Intervention. If
the foreign nations take a hand, some
thing might be saved for the Man
chus, but If the revolutionists axe vic
torious they will get nothing.
Patriotism la Deep.
"Great" numbers of young students
are Included among the revolutionists.
I aaw SS boys, all of whom looked to
be under 10 years of age, led out to be
executed after tha Canton riots. These
young men and others besides died
fearlessly. When the riots occurred,
the gates of the city were locked and
ths rioters were sought high and low.
Those who were found unhesitatingly
admitted that they were revolutionists
and aald they would willingly die for

The association baa kept out of poll

friendly toward the association and If
the revolutionists win, ths Y. M. C A.
will have wider latitude than ever be

among the warring factions, doing hos
