streets. One Is bounded on the north
by Salmon street and on the south by
Main street and the second on the north
by Main street and the south by Madi

heretofore voiced opposition to the
proposed chance of location, advan
cing as the principal argument In
favor of the block now proposed to be
used, the fact that It is more contig
uous to the center of the city and la
closer to streetcar lines.

Dismissed) Employe of Water Depart

Months Idleness Rash-11-ht
Promises Action.
Failure to make chargea sufficiently
definite against Cornellua G. Murphy,
chief of the meter division of the Wa
ter Department, yesterday resulted In
an order by the Civil Service Commis
sion reinstating the accused man. and
the city will have to pay him for at
least five months' time, during which
he has not worked.
Mayor Itushllghi. who Instituted the
chargea against Mr. Murphy, declared
late yesterday afternoon that he will
file new charges, and that "they will
be definite enough to suit anyone.
City Attorney Grant a few days ago
ruled that the Water Board was with'
In Its rights and did not exercise un
due authority In dismissing Mr. Slur
phy from the position he occupied, yet
"for the good of the service the Com
mission reinstated Murphy.
Drflalfe rbarstea Repair.
The Impression has prevailed for
number of months that an employe
under civil service rules, as amended.
could be dismissed "for the good of
the service," and that such employe
must show that It la not for the good
of the service, but was either political
or religious reasons before he may
be reinstated.
Reinstatement of Mr. Murphy shows
that the members of the Civil Service
Commission, while wishing to uphold
the action of departments In dismissing
unfit employes, will require some defin
ite charges. In the case of Mr. Murphy,
It was pointed out by John K. Logan,
one of the Commissioners, and agreed to
by r. U Willis and A. T. Armstrong,
the other members of the Commission,
that the chargea filed against him
would have been sufficiently definite
' had they said something to the effect
that he waa dismissed because he
failed to account for public property.
"Let Dewa aay. aye Mayor.
As a matter of fact. Mayor Rush
light has made verbitl charges In open
meetings of the Wster Board that Mr.
Murphy "was let down easy" to avoid
humiliation. Last December, the May
or caused Investigations to be made
which led to the dismissal of Mr. Mur
phy and showed, according to the
Mayor, that depsrtment supplies had
been sold by Mr. Murphy, who pocketed
the money. These allegations were pos
itively denied by Mr. Murphy at the
time and again last night, when In
formed that the Mayor would prefer
new charges.
"1 have never done one wrong thing
since I became attached to the city's
service." declared Mr. Murphy last
night- "To show Just how conscien
tious I have been. I will cite the fact
that 1 have never' as much as used a
city car ticket after my hours of duty.
1 don't wish to criticise anyone, but
I will say right now that neither the
Mayor nor anyone else can prove that
1 ever did a wrong thing, and I do
not fear any charges that may be filed.
I shall report for duty and will be
ready, as usual, to do my work."
fiew Charges Presaleed.
Mayor r.uahtlght was clesrly pro
voked at the action of the Civil Service
Commission, but made no comment ex
cept that he would file new charges
and would make them definite.
Mr Murphy's salary is II :i a month,
and the Water Board will be forced to
pay him that amount for each month
lie has been under suspension and dis
missal. Myor Rushlight has directed much
attention to the Water lepartment
since he took office last July and caused
on expert Investigation of the books.
There have been and still are rumors
that he Intends to dismiss certain high
officials of the department, but he re
fuses to make aiy statement concern
ing this.

A
Flaas
eetlng of the Greater Portland
Association, the County Court
That the proposed banking plan
formulated by tha Congressional Mone
tary Commission will eliminate tha
weaknesses of the present financial
system In the United States and mako
It even more powerful than the com
bined wealth of England. France, and
Germany Is the belief of Edward Cook-
naham. vice-president or tne una
Tllton Bank, who addressed the Port
land Realty Board yesterday at the
Hotel Multnomah on Currency Re
form." Mr. Cooklngham pointed out the
weaknesses of the present banking
system, showing tho Inadequacy of the
financial structure in times of emer
aency. The three prominent week
features, ho said, are the Inflexibility
of National bank currency, the Im
potent system of cash reserves and the
lark of discount facilities and discount
msrkets.
"Because of these weak polnta In our
financial structure, we are unable to
cope with the situation during periods
of depression." said Mr. Cookincham.
-Where we are weak Kngland. France
and liermany are strong. We do not
know how to use our money properly.
We need a credit currency, such as in
vogue in Europe. Every country needs
a "system that will expand and con
tract with the requirements of trade.
We have nothing like this.
"Our National bank currency Is rigid:
It Is a relic of Civil War times. Our
currency does not fill the bill; It can
not be made available when a money
panic la threatened or when -needed
for any great emergency or legitimate
purpose, such as moving our Immense
-Tha cash reserve feature is another
weakness. When we are compelled to
draw on our reserves, we weaken the
financial fabric of the country. Cash
reserves are Just aa rigid and Melees
at critical times aa our currency. Had
m credit currency system, such as Is
used In Europe, prevailed In 10T and
other years of financial depression, we
would have been able to meet the sit
uation without Impairing business. A
credit currency should have been es
tablished by the Government years ago.
The lack of discount facilities and
discount markets Is another great
weakness of our financial system. On
this account our bank notes and bills
receivable were of no benefit during
the 107 panic. At that time there waa
about $1 o.000.eoa In gold in the
vaults at New York and Washington,
while the Bank of England had a re
serve, of about Jl&e.eos.oo. and yet we
had to look to England for relief. The
Bank of England raised Its discount
rata to 4 and per cent, and later to
T per cent, and before our panic was
over gold had poured1 Into that bank
from J4 countries of tha world to take
advantage of the attractive, rates. This
Is how the Bank of England was able
to provide us with gold In our panlc
"The proposed banking plan of the
Monetary .Commission will aurely be a
panacea for all the Ills and weaknesses
of our banking system. If adopted It
will eliminate any possibility of a
panic: it will establish complete confi
dence among our people and It will be
the means of making tha iruteo iiaw-s
the greatest financial poaer

and East Water streets. It has a front
age, of S20 feet Including street ends,
but the dock will be only 490 feet long,
as half of East Oak street will not be
Included. It may be used later for a
launch landing. Wooden piles will he
driven for a foundation, and the dock
will be built of concrete. It will have
two levels, one 18 feet above, low water,
the other 32 feet above low water. It
will lw 100 feet deep.
In the rear of the dock will be built a
large warehouse. Only one story will
be erected for the present, but the
foundation will be made strong enough
so that four more stories can be added
later.
Grant la Consulted.
These were the plans decided upon at
the meeting of tlvo Dock Commission
yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce.
The property for tho proposed dock
Is owned by William Reldt, and Is
assessed rt $113,470. Mr. Rcldt offered
the property to the Commission for
$400,000 until January 1. He. offered it
to the commission yesterday for this
amount, and 6 per cent interest from
the first of the year.
The Commission called In City Attor
ney Grant to advise It as to the best
method to use. in securing- the property.
He advised that a committee of ral
estate and business men be appointed to
view the property and value It, and that
this bo followed by condemnation pro
ceedings. A committee of seven men was ap
pointed, three of them real estate men,
the other four business men. The Com
mission declined to make their names
public for the present. Four members
of the Commission were present F.
W. Mulkey, George M. Cornwall.
Charles B. Moores and Dan Kellaher.
Ben Selling also Is a member of the
Commission. Captain Jacob Ppeier.
harbormaster, and B. G. Hcgardt, the
engineer, also were present. Mr. He
gardt was employed permanently as
the engineer of the Commission, and
Messrs. Cornwall and Kellaher were
appointed a committee to find perma
nent quarters.
dock and warehouje will cost at least
$300,000, in addition to the cost of the
property. The charter amendment,
providing for the dock and creating the
Commission, authorizes the Issuance of
$3,500,000 in bonds. Fifty thousand
dollars' worth of these bonds have al
ready been sold to defray the prelim
inary expenses for engineer and plans.
The property chosen for the public
dock adjoins the property where the
flreboat is stationed. It now Is covered
largely with old piling and scows.
The decision of the Commission as to
the location of the dock followed the
completion of the abstract yesterday.
The dock plan Is out of harmony with
the Bennett plans for a city beautiful,
these calling- for driveways along both
sides of the river. The Bennett plans
provide for docks at Guild's Lake and
Mock's Bottom, below the t'orusiw
Flourino- Mills.
An abstract of property on the West
Side to be used for another public dock
Is being prepared and probably will be
finished next week. These oocks, wnen
finished, are intended to provide for
all vessels which may come to Port
land, whether of established lines or
not.

Moral Squad May Xot Have Undivid
ed Support of Powers Behind
Department.
That Police Sergeant Tom Kay and
his resurrected moral squad are not
to have the undivided and unquestion
ing support of the powers that rule
the police department was made plain
when the officer appeared in one of
his first cases in Municipal Court yes
terday to prosecute a defendant, who
was represented by Attorney Walde-
mar Seton. member of the police com
mlttee ot the Executive Board. Kay
and his subordinate were heatedly
cross-examined by Seton, and the Com
missloner-attorney. In addressing the
court, denounced the witnesses for
their conduct in the case and their
'pretended morality."
The defendant was Karl Tweedy,
voung pipefitter in the service of the
O.-W. R. & N. Co.. who was at first
charged with contributing to the de
llnquency of a minor and later with
disorderly aonduct.
Commissioner Seton first crossed
swords with Kay. when the officer
slipped in a bit of hearsay testimony.
Kay made vigorous answers to the at
torney's hostile questions. - and waa
imitated by Patrolman Cordes. a new
member of the force.
Holding that an act had been com
mitted which the grand Jury should
consider, the court held Tweedy to
answer.
Sergeant Kay was at the head of a
moral squad during the' Lane adminis
tration and acquired much notoriety
by a series of door-smashing exploits.
Ha resigned from the force and opened
a private detective agency. Recently
he was reinstated.
The reinstatement of Kay is said to
have been on motion of Chief of Police
Slover. It was ordered by the Civil
Service Commission, the charter giv
ing the Executive Board no authority
in the case.

Congregations From All Parts of
City and County Help Swell
Long Entry List.
Special Rose Festival committees of
the Multnomah County Sunday School
Association reported at headquarters
yesterday afternoon that they had al
ready secured 100 entries of decorated
automobiles for the special section of
the motor car parade which will be
held on Thursday afternoon. June 13.
The Sunday schools of the city and
county have taken hold of the move
ment with vigor and additional cars
are promised each day. The committees
are in correspondence with every one
of the 115 schools In the county and
it Is hoped to have at least one car
entered from each one of them be
fore the entry lists are closed. One of
the schools has sent In 20 individual
entries, and a number of them have
from two to half a dozen cars prom
ised to take part In the pageant
Should all the Sunday schools have
cars in line, this one section will total
fully 150 cars, by far the largest single
section of the parade.
This remarkable showing is con
sidered all the more surprising from
the fact that this Is the first year
that the association has attempted to
take any organized part in the Rose
Festival programme. The movement
was started by Rev. Albert H. Ehrgott,
president of the County Association,
and a general committee was named
with W. H. Phillips, of the Grace
Methodist Episcopal Church as chair
man. Mr. Phillips nas been giving
most of his time for the past two
weeks In arousing interest in the plans
and declares he will not stop until
every Sunday school in the county has
agreed to take part.
The magnitude of this movement is
evident from the fact that last year,
when the biggest turnout of decorated
cars In the history of the Festival was
In line, there were less than 275 cara
entered.
In order to encourage the Sunday
schools to Join in the plan, the Rose
Festival management announced yes
terday that it would award two
handsome silk American flags, costing
$35 each, to the two most handsomely
and artistically decorated cars in this
section, the flags to be kept as per
manent trophies for the winners.
"It Is surprising the amount of In
terest the Sunday schools all over the
city and county have been taking In
out plans, said Chairman pminps oi
the special committee last night. "I
think this Is one of the finest public
demonstrations our Sabbath schools
could make. We want to show the
Festival visitors that all the Sunday
school pupils are not mere children
as Is generally supposed, for we have
as entrants in the parade -tots wno
run all the way from S and 4 years
up to the dignified age of four score
years.
"The widest possible latituae is to
be given each school In the way of
trimming and decorating the cars the
only limit being that natural flowers
must be used.
We shall have a fine big float to
place at the head of our division of
the narade and all the cars will be
filled . with Sunday school pupils, old
and young.
"Our committee will not quit until
we have all the acbools in the county
In line if it is possible to get them
and we want to urge upon all those
who have cars which they can enter
to send in their namea at once."

West Side Bnsiness Men Asked to
Close Shops Daring March.
All West Side businessmen will be
asked to close their stores on the

reached yesterday at a meeting oi tne
East Side Business Men's Club, under
whose auspices the parade is to be
held. The request is made in order
that clerks employed on the West Side

-this attraction of the Rose Festival.
This year's parade is to be larger
and contain more spectacular features
than any former event of the kind.
More than 3000 school children will be

Many of the children will be costumed
