SUGGESTION IS LATE
Mayor Ahead of Mr. Kellaher
on Police Reorganization.
COMMISSIONER IS REBUKED
Sir. Baker Stops Criticism of Pre
ceding Administration Council
Called to Consider Plan for
Pruning Bureau.
When Dan Kellaher, Commissioner of
Finance, attempted to tell Mayor Bait
er what to do with the police force
yesterday at an informal conference
of the Council in the Mayor's office,
he was promptly told that he was too
Blow. An attack by Mr. Kellaher upon
"the preceding- administration of po
lice affairs" was also rebuked by Mr.
Baker.
"What you want to do with the po
lice force is to cut it down hard," vol
unteered Mr. Kellaher. It s fierce the
way it's been run for four years;
there are dozens of them standing
around on the streets looking -for
something to do."
"Say, Dan," replied Mayor Baker, "I
beat you to it on that stuff; I have
been arranging for that for a long
time. I propose to cut the force some,
but not so much so that it will be in
efficient." Mr. Kellaher refused to be silenced,
however, until he had taken a fling at
the preceding police administration.
"It was fierce." he said. "It piled up a
lot of old political barnacles that
should be cut off."
"I am not criticising my predecessor
In office," replied Mayor Baker. "He
had a mighty hard job, because it is not
possible, under civil service and char
ter restrictions, to do Just what you
want to do."
"Well, he didn't have to put on an
addltiona-1 force of 25 or 50 more
men," snapped Mr. Kellaher.
"Oh, well, there's a lot of things you
don't know, Dan," retorted Mr. Baker.
"But I hope the newspaper boys hear
what you say; it would be too bad to do
11 of that talking unnoticed."
"I'm not talking for publication,"
said Mr. Kellaher, amid the laughter
of the Mayor and the other Commis
sioners. Mayor Baker laid before the Council
his proposed ordinance creating a po
lice pension fund. Each Commission
er was given a copy and will study it
and make any suggestions deemed
wise.
Commissioner Kellaher advocated
elimination of the sick relief and acci
dent features and transferring that
part to the state accident fund. That
Idea appealed strongly to the others
and Mr. Kellaher was Instructed to
confer with Chairman Beckwlth, of the
State Commission, who will make an
Inspection of the police system here
and later will meet with the Council
to go over the situation.
Mayor Baker announced that he fig
ures on reducing the police force per
haps 15 men over and above those who
are put on the pension list. He said
he expects to cut the detective division
about nine men and to lay off the bal
ance from the patrol service, but made
it clear that he has no intention of
going so far as to cripple the effi
ciency of the service.
Upon recommendation of Chief John
son. Mayor Baker also asked the Coun
cil to consider appropriating about
$4000 to install a new signal and re
porting system.

FUEL FAMINE HITS BAY
LACK O" COAL IX SAN FRANCISCO
SERIOUS.
Scores of Retallera Will HaT to Close
Their Yards If Relief Does
Not Develop.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) A coal famine in San Francisco
is a stern reality at the present time.
So declared J. F. Mullen, secretary of
the Retail Coal Dealers' Association,
today to the San Francisco County
Council of Defense.
Unless a remedy is found immedi
ately, Mullen said, whereby coal could
be brought into the city, 30 retail deal
ers will have to close their yards with
in a week, and scores more later.
Mullen said the wholesale yards are
empty of eoal, and, while plenty of
coal is in northern ports, there are no
ships to bring it here.
Judge Thomas F. Graham, chairman
of the Defense Council, immediately
took the matter up with A. H. Naftzger,
of the State Council, who said he would
take it up at once with Governor
Stephens. An effort will be made to
secure both railroad cars and ships to
bring In a more adequate supply.
Ordinarily in the middle of Winter
there is a temporary shortage of coal
here, but there never before has been
a lack of the commodity in the middle
of Summer. It is feared the situation
will become grave when the rainy
weather sets in, unless something is
done to bring relief. '

Tillamook County Court Postpones
Action for Lumbermen's Trust Co.
The County Court of Tillamook
County has postponed awarding Its
$200,000 bond Issue until the Lumber
men's Trust Company, the highest bid
der, has had an opportunity to obtain
an opinion from its attorneys as to the
regularity of the proceedings under
which the bonds were authorized.

ond highest bid, and had already ob
tained an approving opinion of its at

some $600 less than that of the Lum

the matter will be determined promptly.

Vancouver Private Named in
Davis Divorce Suit.
MARRIED BLISS BRIEF
Husbands of One and Six Months
Declare Wives Untrue to Vows.
Third Try at Marital Happi
ness Ends With Grief.
There have been more than a score
of "war brides" in Portland during
the recent weeks of mobilization of
Oregon troops, but the first instance of
a soldier's part in the submarining
of the good ship Matrimony was
brought to light yesterday when Edgar
Scheff, a private stationed at Van
couver Barracks, was named co-respondent
in a divorce action filed by Harold
F. Davis .gainst Ernestine Davis, a
oride of six months.
The young wife is accused of carry
ing on a serious flirtation with the
soldier youth under the name of Miss
Ernie Meyers. She has been in frequent
company with him both at Vancouver
and Portland, the husband declares.
It was at Vancouver, February 6,
last, that the young couple were mar
ried, Davis states in his complaint.
Desertion is the basis of a divorce
suit in which George Burnison seeks
legal freedom from Bessie Bell Burni
son. They were married In 1908.
Less than a month of wedded life is
enough for 21-year-old Luella Sche
mock, according to her husband, who
filed suit yesterday for a divorqe. He
said that his wife has been Joy-riding
with other men and smokes cigarettes
most of the time.
A romance started 22 years ago in
China was interrupted yesterday when
Lulu filed suit for a divorce from Hong
Choy. He has been beating her up of
recent months, she relates. They were
married at Hongkong, China, in 189o,
and have two children. She asks that
her maiden name of Lulu Dora Hutch
inson be restored.
Bessie Weibusch's third venture into
matrimony was Just as unsuccessful
as her first two, says her husband,
John, in his divorce complaint. They
were married in 1913 and Bessie de
serted him in 1915, he said.
GINGER GIRLS TRIUMPH
FRESH PEP INJECTED TO DAILY
PROGRAMME AT OAKS.
EXEMPTION BOARD BUSY
Further Hearings Are Held, but No
Decisions Are Given Out.
Further hearings of cases on appeal
were held yesterday by the district ex
emption board, but no definite decision
was made public in any of the several
cases which had been continued from
Saturday. It was learned, however,
that the case of Walter Domeyer was
up for consideration.
Domeyer sought exemption on the
grounds that he has relatives who ar
Germans, although he himself was born
and raised an American. Domeyer has
been granted an exemption of three
months becauee he Is a farmer, but
his case will come up for further in
vestigation at the expiration of his ex
emption period, it is understood.

of trie nymph. She Is a bewitching
person, played by Dorothy Raymond,
and so manages to get West and his
