NOVEMBER 22, 1912. RILEY RESIGNS AS CAPTAIN OF POLICE Acting Official Complains of Low Efficiency Rating Given Him by Slover. LYON MAY FILL VACANCY In Civil Service Examination Chief Recommend Him With Mark of 70 Keller Gets 100 Tjyon and Craddoclt 5. On the ground tkat' therein for fflclency given him by Cnte? Sloyer in the recent examinations for tne position of captain of police was Bucn that he could not with dignity retain his command, of the first night relief, Acting Captain Riley announced yes terday that he would return to his rank of sergeant, beginning today. The announcement, when made to the mem bers of bis relief, caused surprise and the retiring captain was cheered ve hemently for the stand he took. Under the civil service rules, the Chief of Police gives a rating to the various candidates, which at the max imum is given a relative weight of 40 in the hundred in the final markings. Thus, if a candidate receives 100 for efficiency. 40 points are added to his standing, and if he receives 50, 20 points are added. Keller Gets Perfect Rating Chief Slover gave Joseph Keller the perfect rating of 100. Sergeant Lyon and Detective Sergeant Craddock re ceiving 95. Riley, Sergeant Casey and Record Clerk Circle were given 70. The three rated highest by the Chief stood at the head of the examination list, while any of the others, with a rating as high, would have been contenders. Riley takes the stand that he has for many months commanded the most Important of the three reliefs, without criticism, and that in fairness he was entitled to as high a rating as the others, or else should have been re lieved long since. He placed the mat ter thus before Chief Slover yesterday and announced that he would serve no longer as acting captain. He says his superior pressed him to remain, but he closed the discussion, by ask ing to have some other officer placed in charge of the relief tonight. Vacancies in the rank of captain have been a source of scandal ever since Chief Slover was elevated to that rank to take the position of acting chief, and Sergeant Keller was ap pointed to fill the temporary vacancy, with the pay of a captain. Hem Refuse to Withdraw. An examination was held, at which Circle, Riley and Inskeep passed high est and were therefore eligible to ap pointment, while Keller was seventh on the list. An effort was made to have those between him and the eli gible three withdraw their claims, so that lie could be appointed, but they refused, and it was then discovered that there was no vacancy existing. Slover still being a captain in fact, and Keller was retained. Later Captain Bailey was suspended, and eventually resigned, and Sergeant Riley was appointed to fill the tem porary vacaney. At the end of a year the eligible list expired and a new ex amination was called. It is openly charged around police headquarters that the Questions were so framed that there could be no slip, and Keller, with the advantage of a 100 rr cent rating and of the nature of the ques tions, was sure of becoming eligible. It was general gossip long before the examination that Lyon would fall into the other vacancy. Keller's Showing Good. One of the questions in the examina tion was: "Name the 10 worst crimin als captured by you, with the disposi tion of their cases." Keller, having command of the second night relief, when a majoritw of such men are cap tured, and being taken into all impor tant arrests by the officers under him. was able to make a better showing than any other candidate. No changes were announced at police headquarters yesterday, but it is thought probable that Lyon will be assigned to Riley's place today and Riley will return to one of the reliefs as a sergeant. POULTRY CLUB PROJECTED Men, Women and Children Eligible to Xew Y. 31. C. A. Organization. Org-atiization of a poultry club, open to men. women and children, has been decided upon by the educational de partment of the Toung Men's Christian Association. A series of poultry lec tures was begun several weeks ago by the T. M. C A. and these will be con tinued, but in addition a club will be formed to meet every Saturday night. Organization of the club will be ef fected and officers elected at an open meeting in room 309 of the Y. M. C. A. building tomorrow night. A textbook course will be taken up and especial attention will be paid to the subject of co-operative marketing. Several interesting features are be ing planned for the lecture nights, which will be set monthly. Among the speakers will be H. H. Collier, member of the executive committee of the National Foultrymen's Association, and Miller Purvis, editor of a poultry journal, who will be in Portland to judge the poultry show next month. A novelty will be the exhibition of a reel of moving pictures of poultry, loaned to the V. M. C. A. by the Ore gon Agricultural College. A collection of poultry books from the Public Library will be Installed in the 7. M. C. A, which already has a branch library made up of books used in the religious work classes. A. com petitive poultry exhibit will be made In January by the club members. Membership in the club Is open to the public, and the monthly lectures may be attended by everyone, whether mem bers of the club or not. 15-YEAR-OLD BOY MISSING Son of Sirs. Henry Northrop Dis appears in Chicago. Police of three Paciflo Coast cities re searching for Valford E. Weithoff, a 15-year-old boy, son of Mrs. Henry JCortbrop, of 394 Salmon street. The lad dropped out of sight after leaving a railroad train at Chicago November 6. Detective Hawley has been assigned to the Portland end of the case, and appeals to the police at Seattle and Los Angeles have been heeded In those cities. Presuming that her son was en his way to join her. Mrs. Northrop does not know what city he may have started for. as her movements at tne tirr.e sne were uncertain. Her husband Is in the employ of the Ellers Music House, Estrangement continuing after being divorced, caused a total discontinua tion of communication between Mrs. Northrop and H. E. Weithoff. her form er husband, a resident of Columbus, Ind.. and since last Christmas she has heard nothing from her son. At that time the movements of the Norttarops were so Indefinite that the boy, if in search of his mother, would not know which way to direct his travels. After the disappearance Mr. Weithoff wrote to Mrs. Northrop, on the theory that she was concealing their son. but on being assured that such was not the case, wrote again, resigning all claim to his custody in her favor, and waiv ing any action on account of the boy's taking $160 from his father's house. "I am dreadfully worried," said the mother yesterday, "for fear something has happened to my son. He is an ac complished violinist and able to sup port himself that way, but I feel sure that he is somewhere in the West, look ing for me.

People who complain they are worn to a frazzle are nearly always dyspeptic and are recommended to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. The stomach gets lazy, food ferments and sours, gas belches up, there are symptoms oi bloating, the blood becomes thick and sluggish, the liver is blamed, the head Is heavy, the mind a blank and tne dining-room is a chamber of horrors. One of the greatest evils of our mod ern life is the quick lunch. To this evil, as much or more than any other, may be traced the preponderance of the stomach troubles of our times. In stead of, taking time to thoroughly masticate the food before .swallowing it, the average person rushes through tne meal, bolting the food, deglutition taking place while it is only partially mixed with saliva, and only half mas ticated, thus leaving the stomach to do the work the teeth should have done. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain digestive elements, a single grain being capable of digesting souo grains oi food. Including meats, eggs, gram. vegetables, starches and mineral mat ters. They prepare every particle of food by thorough digestion for ready absorption and assimilation by the lacteal glands, which pass it into tne blood, whence it is conducted to all parts of the system, rebuilding and revitalizing It. Kvery druggist has Stuart s Dyspep sia Tablets in stock and sells them at 50 eents a box.
