Specials From Portland and

makers to Bonneville.
SPORT FEATURES ABOUND
Citj- Men Trimmed in Game of Ball

nishes Music All Day and
Kangaroo Court Is Busy.
Fun and goodf ellowship reigned su
preme at Bonneville yesterday when
2000 Elks and their families gathered
for the first annual picnic of Portland
Lodge.
Two special trains carried the rev
elers from Portland, another special
went from The Dalles; many went on
the regular trains and many came from
othir points by different means of con
veyance. A diversified programme of enter
tainment was offered. It ranged from
a band concert and a baseball game to
footraces for little children and their
amusement on swings and sandpiles.
So far as baseball is concerned the
boys of The Dalles have It on the Port
land Elks in every department of the
game. They played only five or six
inninsrs. but that was enough. Harvey
O'Bryan started to keep the score but
he wore out all his pencils trying to
mark down the runs for The Dalles.
He was only sure of one thing and
that was that Portland didn't score at
all. Max Michel is authority for the
report that the final tally was "Plenty
to Nothing" in favor of The Dalles.
Races Are Success.
The fat men's race was the spectacu
lar feature. There were eight entries.
Ray Barkhurst proved to be as nimble
as a deer and as graceful as an ele
phant, for he wobbled over the line
the full width of his stomach ahead
of his closest competitor J. T. Lang
ley. Third place went to H. Rasmus
sen. City Treasurer 'William Adams, who
had trained down to 225 pounds, was
in the -also ran" class. With him were
his brother. "Bobby" Adams. J. R Gil
liam, J. Osborne and Ike Schults.
J. A. Lake, of The Dalles, was an
easy first in the free-for-all.
Harry McAllister's announcement
that women with tight skirts alone j
were eligible to enter the women's I
race brought out a great variety of
modern creations in close-fitting ap
parel. Mrs. IX R. Bell was first, Mrs.
A. U. Vaughn second, and Mrs. S. Raw
son, third.
Helen Malloy won the race for girls
under S. with Adalene Carr second, and
Ruth Carr, third.
The boy3' race went to Carl Ryan
with Tom Dunsmore, Lewis Sam and
Robert Lee Stevenson following In the
order named.
The final event was one for boys
of all ages and was won by Jack Dun
dore. with Lester Kelly and Harry Cor
nelius second and third, respectively.
Kangaroo Court Busy.
The kangaroo court did a flourish
ing business all day. Few picnickers
escaped the sting of the particular
brand of "justice" that was dispensed
there. Andy Weinberger was the prin
cipal peace officer, while Monroe (Gold
stein occupied the "bench."
The Elks' band was on duty all day.
It played at the depot In the morn
ing before the train left and its mem
bers formed an orchestra that pro
vided excellent music for the dancers.

KELLER ISSUE RISES
Irregularity Charges in Cap
taincy Matter Revived.
PLACE IS OFFERED - RILEY
Early Application Will Be Made by
Members of Force to Xetf City
Administration to Pass on
Status of Examination.
One ot the first problems to be put
up to the new commission which takes
over the city government tomorrow
will be the status of Joseph Keller,
captain of police. Action to this ef
fect has been determined upon by rival
candidates for the position now held
by Keller, who allege that Keller ob
tained the promotion through unfair
juggling on the part of officers of the
Rushlight administration. The new
administration will, be asked to annul
the examination under which Keller
qualified, and, if this is not done, an
appeal will be made to the courts, it
is said.
This explains why acting Captain
Harry Itiley did not accept the office
of assistant chief, and.why that office
was abolished by the City Council at
its- last meeting, when Riley refused
it. Gossip axound police headquar
ters was that the-proffer was intend
ed as a sop to Riley, to prevent him
from joining In the movement to re
open the examination question. Even
If he had been quieted, however, other
disgruntled candidates Intended to
force the issue on Keller.
Rank I.ovr In Examination.'
When Captain Slover was appointed
as acting chief of police, an exam
ination was called to fill the tem
porary vacancy, and Keller ranked far
down in the list. Finding it impos
sible to appoint him, the Rushlight
machine discovered that there was no
vacancy to fill, and annulled the ex
amination,, leaving Keller - acting-in
Slover's place and drawing the salary
of a captain: When this: situation
caused comment a new examination
was called and Keller passed among
the eligible three.
The attack now planned is upon the
methods followed In this examination.
Chief Slover gave Keller an efficiency
rating of 100, and Sergeants Lyon and
craaaocK . wnue tne remaining can
didates were scored quite low. With
this advantage at the start, the un
successful officers charge that the
questions were framed for Keller's
benefit: One question referred to a
ml "if ' 7 ! r . i'-''1.',-1 ;'. rcfl i' i;rr.Kr-
somewhere in the 10,000's, and Keller
was the only candidate who answered
It. He is the only officer in the de
partment who could identify a city or
dinance by its serial number.
Riley Prevailed on to Stay.
Another question called for tbe
naming of the ten most desperate
criminals captured by the candidate,
with the disposition of .their cases, and
lie passed high on this one. A member
of the Civil Service Commission said
rater that if a. candidate had answered
this question with the word "none," it
would have been the duty of the exam
iners to mark his answer correct.
After the examination Riley an
nounced his resignation as acting cap
tain, but was prevailed upon to re
main. : He anounced openly that be did
so because Mayor- Rushlight bad
promised him that "everything would
be all right." The offered appoint
ment as assistant chief ls presumed to
have been the fulfillment of this prom
ise, but Riley refused it and now will
Insist upon a probe of the methods
pursued in the examination. He is
said to be supported; by Detective
Craddock. who announced recently
that he would put up (200 to fight
the case. Patrolman Circle also is an
avowed backer of the movement to re
open the case. '

New Health Officer Plans to
Improve Departmant.
MISS OLA COOPER RESIGNS
Dr. Martellus' Kfrst Endeavor Will
Be to Have City Made Federal
Registration , District for
Handling Diseases.
Radical changes in the City Health
Department to Increase the efficiency
and to improve sanitary and disease
conditions in Portland will be made by
Dr. M. . B. Marcellus, the new City
Health Officer, who takes office to
morrow. He returned yesterday from
Seattle where he passed three days
looking over the health department
mere, with Ideas he received In a sur
vey of the Seattle department combined
with a general plan of his own niak
ing he declares he will raise Portland
to the head of the list of healthful
cities in the United States, a place now
held by Seattle.
But one immediate change is to be
made In the personnel of the depart
ment. Miss Ola Cooper, who has served
as office clerk for the last six years,
has tendered her resignation to take
effect tonight. Her place will, be filled
by Mrs. A. C. Turner, a. well-known
business woman of Portland, who will
assume charge of the office work, to
morrow morning.
ReMlsrnatlon Not Requested.
The resignation' of Miss Cooper was
not requested by Dr. Marcellus, the
change by Miss cooper having been
planned some time ago to 4ake effect
with the change of administration. She
had intended leaving the office regard
less of who was appointed Health Of
ficer. She will take charge of the or
flee work for the British Consul at
Portland
No other changes In the office or
field forces are planned. All of the
school Inspectors, the sanitary lnspec
tor. the milk chemist and medical ex
perts will be retained for the present
at least.
The first endeavor of Dr. Marcellus
In working out his new system of pro
cedure-will be to have the city made
a Federal registration district, a dls
tinction not now enjoyed. By having
this registration it will be possible to
ascertain the actual standing of the
city In mortality and health and to
make comparisons with other cities
which are in registration districts.

ment will be the creation of subde
partments or divisions, each to have a
clearly defined work to do. The sys
tem of handling inspections will be
changed and placed upon a more sci
entific and accurate basis. It ls be
lieved that with the force of inspectors
properly organized the department
will be in a much better position to
handle disease epidemics of all sorts.
"Portland is naturally a -healthy
city," said Dr. Marcellus yesterday.
"With climatic conditions In our favor
cur work must be done along sanitary
lines to a large extent. There is a
great deal to do in this line. We have
everything In our favor and should be
able to climb to the top of the list of
healthful cities. In Seattle I talked to
Dr. Crichton. commissioner of health
and sanitation, and learned a great
deal. He told me that the department
in that city was all run down until two
years ago. Since then it has been built
up until It is thoroughly efficient. Se
attle is now in a Federal registration
district and beads the list of cities.
"Dr. Crichton admitted that with
proper organization of a health depart
ment Portland can win the lead over
Seattle within a couple of years."
