PORTLAND'S POLICE FORCE ON DRESS PARADE AT THE AXXUAI. INSPECTION AT THE ARMORY.
POLICE ON PARADE
Annual Inspection Held vat
the Armory.
MAYOR PRAISES THE FORCE
Freedom From Grafting and Fine Dis
cipline Meet Mr. Williams' Ap
provalActivity in Politics '
is Forbidden.
Portland's guardians of the peace did
themselves proud aj. the Inspection of the
police force at the Armory by Mayor
"Williams yesterday afternoon. The eight
mounted patrolmen demonstrated their
ability as equestrians outside the Armory,
on Tenth street, while the regular pa
trolmen -went through their military
maneuvers In the big drlllroom. Mayor
"Williams spoke words of praise to the
force after the Inspection that were most
pleasing to . the . ear of Chief of Police
Hunt and Captain Moore, who has had
the training of the force in hand, and C.
F Beebe, who was present, also expressed
himself as well pleased with the military
accomplishments of the local sleuths.
The Inspection was ordered for 1:30. but
long berore that time Chief of Police
Hunt and Slg Sichol and C. F. Beebe, of
the police committee, were at the Armory.
"While Captain Moore was drilling the
patrolmen In the drlllroom. Chief Hunt
and the police committee were reviewing
and giving final Instructions to the mount
ed officers on Tenth struct, outside the
Armory.
Mayor "Williams, accompanied bj City
Auditor Thomas C Devlin, arrived at the
Armory at 2 o'clock and immediately re
viewed the mounted police. The eight
horsemen lined up for attention and gave
a creditable display of their horseman
ship, riding In twos, fours and single file
at the pleasure of the Inspecting com
mittee. "Attention," ordered Captain Moore, as
the Mayor, Chief Hunt and the police
committee entered the drlllroom. "Right
dress; attention."
Captain Moore cast a final glance at his
men. Every one of the CO officers was
groomed to the last extreme. Not a sign
of dust was on a uniform. Shoes that a
few hours before had been well coated
with webfoot mud were now mirrors re
flecting the handsome appearance of the
police force and hundreds of brass but
tons shone like burnished gold.
Chief Hunt and Captains Moore . and
Bailey were clothed in their best regi
mentals, as well as Sergeants Hogaboom,
Carpenter and Slover Truly the police
force of Portland was In apple-ple order.
"The -command Is ready for Inspection,"
Chief Hunt announced to Mayor Williams,
saluting.
Captain Moore put the men through
several maneuvers and the smile that
o'erspread the countenances of the In
specting party was noticeable. As the
men stood at pistol Inspection, Mr. Beobe.
bowing and saluting, escorted Mayor
"Williams through the lines of blue-coated
pollcemon. If there was anything In the
appearance of the men that could have
been Improved the penetrating glances of
the Mayor and the police committee failed
to see It and nods of approval were
everywhere apparent.
Captain Moore then put the men through
some difficult drills, -which were well ex
ecuted throughout and demonstrative of
the long and careful training given the
force by the Captain.
After the inspection. Mayor "Williams
advanced, while the officers stood at at
tention, and complimented Chief Hunt,
Captain Mooro, his subordinate officers
and the men In the ranks. "I want, in the
first place, to congratulate you on your
fine appearance." said the Mayor. "Ap
pearances in this world go a great -ways
In forming private and public opinion.
The judgment of men is guided largely by
appearances. People who come here from
ether places and see the magnificent
buildings, houses, lawns and shrubbery or
our city form good opinions of the city,
and when strangers see a police force
shabbily and carelessly dressed they are
likely to form a poor opinion of the way
in which the duties of the force are dis-
harged, but if they see a force finely
dressed, as you are. in dean, heat and
handsome uniforms, they will form a good
opinion.
"It is not necessary for me to say that
discipline ,1s an absolute necessity In a
police force. Without discipline everything
would "be in poor order. Although it may
seem a little severe and objectionable at
times, discipline Is finally regarded by
those who first dislike It the most as a
good thing. The first duty of a soldier
Is to obey the orders of his superior
officers, and the first duty of a policeman
Is to obey bis superiors. j
"You are In the service now under civil
service rules and under sveh are entitled
to promotion according to your ability
and the discharge of your duties. This
furnishes an incentive to men to discharge
their duties in the best manner possible
and to acquaint themselves with -the work
of the department for the benefit of the
service.
"One word about politics. Every po
liceman has a right to vote as he pleases'.
His position does not depend on his poli
tics, but as I understand it an officer has
no right to use his official position to
further political ideas of others.
"When I came Into office all I could
hoar about the police force was grafting,
grafting, grafting. Since Chief Hunt
took charge of the department none of
this has occurred. No respectable per
son has been to see me to state a sus
picion of grafting. It Is true that the
newspapers have had considerable to say
about it. but it is a practice common in
all cities to criticise the police depart
ment. I have been in the City of Port
land for -40 years and I know tvhat I am
saying when I state that at the present
time we have the best police force in the
history of the city. Discharge your duties
to the best of your ability and you .will
reflect credit upon yourselves, the Police
Department alW my administration."
Auditor Devlin addressed a few compli
mentary remarks to the force, after which
Mr. Beebe addressed the men. thanking
them for their exhibition which had
caused the Mayor to speak so flatteringly
of the department.
EXTENT OF THE PIANO TRADE
mm FAST HORSES
Hunt Club Race for Downing
Cup Will Be Exciting.
MORENGO'S CHANCE IS GOOD
E. M. Lazarus on His New Mount,
and E. T. Chase on Oregon Kid,
Are the Most Formidable
Entries.
The Wasp, of San Francisco, Under
the Above Caption, Has This to
Say About Wiley B. Allen.
. Whose Headquarters for
So Many Years Was
in This City.
The most noteworthy event that has
ever taken place In trade circles on this
Coast was the sale and transfer of the
entire stock, agencies and good will of the
standard and pioneer piano house of Zeno
Mauvals to the Wiley B. Allen Company.
The transfer, from its magnitude. Is do
serving of mention, and It places the
Wiley B. Allen Company to the very fore
In the particular line of trade to which
the corporation caters, and It is note
worthy the strides that have been made
by that company. Tho founder and head
of the Wiley B. Allen Company came to
this city two years ago, and engaged at
once In competition with the old-established
houses, which, prior to his coming,
appeared to be so strongly entrenched as
to be almost invincible In their control of
the piano trade of the city and state. Mr.
Wiley B. Allen, however, had been suc
cessfully engaged In the business before
coming here, and had a house In Portland
and Seattle. Hk standing with the manu
facturers, and h!s ample resources, direct
ed by his great executive and administra
tive ability, soon made him a factor here.
He operated on broad-guage plans, and by
popular methods he has attracted to his
establishment the very best of patronage.
The result Is that today he stands to the
very foremort of the trade, and has
branch houses established In all thtf lead
ing centers on the Pacific Coast. Mr.
Allen is aggressive and enterprising, and
since his coming here nas infused a new
life . into the special line of trade In which
he dominates. The company occupies the
entire eight-story building at SSI and 983
Market street. The warerooms on the
street floor are a magnificent exposition
of the highest grade of pianos made by
famous names In the piano trade. The
several other floors are devoted to special
departments, and are well worthy of a
visit, as they furnish an Illustration of
the extent of the piano trade in the West.
Mr. Allen purchases from the leading
makers by the y&inload. and he carries
in stock from 75 to 1000 pianos, besides
the Instruments carried at his various
branch houses, and those held at his ca
pacious warehouses here and 1n other
cities. We have it from good authority
that, during the several weeks preceding
Christmas, the bouse disposed of no less
than 140s) pianos, which, it must be ad
mitted, is not only an Indication of the
prosperity of the state, but an Index to
the enormous business transacted by the
company.

race for the Mrs. F. O. Downing cup:

Who Is going to win the Mrs. FT Q
Downing cup Monday afternoon? This
is the question that the members of
the Portland Hunt Club are asking
themselves, and It Is a question to J
which every one of them would give a
great deal to know the correct answer.
There are many good horses entered
for the event and Just as many clever
riders. Every member wants to win
the cup. and with anything like weath
er for the day, one of tho largest crowds
that has ever attended a Hunt Club
event will journey to Irvlngton track, j
whero the winners will finish.
Although many horses are entered :
for the honor of capturing tho trophy, I
the wise ones concede that the race
will be between E. M. Lazarus Mor
engo and E. T. Chase and his mount,
Oregon Kid. In this race, however, like
any event of this sort, there are plenty
of chances for upsets, and after all, the
cup may be won Ty the slowest horse,
whose rider has saved his mount every
foot of the long, hard route. Morengo,
big and strong as he is, carrying Mr.
Lazarus, with luck at the blinds and
over the Jumps, should be one, two.
While it is true that he has not been
tried over a paper-chase route, and. In
a measure is a green jumper, if he is
anywhere near the leaders when they
strike the Irvlngton track, he ought to
outrun the Oregon Kid, who, though a
game youngster and thoroughly at
home in this sort of racing, will be
very tired. President Downing Is go
ing to rido his favorite mare. Baby.
She is not a winged Pegasus, but when
it comes lo'standlng a bruising ride,
she can stand it and have something
left at thb finish. There are other
horses also that will give the winner
a race before the finish is reached.
So far as 1b known, only two women
wfll ride through. They are Mrs. F.
G. Buffum, who will ride Tillamook,
and Mrs. J. V. Rounsefell. who will ride
Dennis. Mrs. Buffum is one of. the
pluckiest riders In the club, willing to
accept a hazard with the most daring
and a rider suro to be a contender if
she has any sort of luck going over the
route. The same may be said of Mrs.
Rounsefell. It was expected that a
number of ladles would ride through,
but up to last night Mrs. Buffum and
Mrs. Rounsefell were the only two to
send In their entries. There aro sev
eral other ladles who may yet decide
to try for tho cup, who will not have
made up their minds until the horses
are lined up for the start.
There was some talk yesterday about
a number of the riders losing all hope
of winning the cup because they felt
that it was as good as won by Morengo
or Oregon Kid They look upon the
event as a two-horse affair. Perhaps
it will be, but tho chances of an out
sider landing first Jook very good. The
start of the race will be from tho Pied
mont water-tower. The route selected
for the chase by Mrs. Downing and Mr.
Strain Is not an easy one, and the rider
and horse that negotiate it will need no
reminder to recall the fact that they
have been In a chase. The run will
cover about eight miles. The last two
miles Is practically on the flat, giving
an excellent chance for every rider to
make up any ground lost over blinds.
A large, section of the fence near the
seven-eighths pole at the Irvlngton
race track will be removed and it is at
this point that the leaders will enter
for the final dash for the finishing flag,
which will be in front of the grand
stand. The Idea of having tho finish
at this point Is an excellent one, for it
will give the spectators a splendid op
portunity to witness the finish.
T. S. McGrath, M. F. H., specially re
quests that the riders be on hand so.as
to start promptly at the hour named,
2:30. The Judge at the start will be
J. W. Cruthers and at the finish, he will
be assisted by Will Q. MacRae.
WORK OF WOMAN'S EXCHANGE
Home-Cooked Foods a Specialty That
Appeals to Housekeepers.
A visit to the Woman's Exchange, 424
Washington street, near Twelfth, will
prove of value to any one Interested in
women's work. The results of the ex
change committee have demonstrated tho
need for such an Institution In this city,
as well as San Francisco, Oakland and
other places where success has rewarded
the public-spirited women who are will
ing to give their time and energies to
help people toward self-support.
Such a variety of things are found on
the shelves, in tho window and showcases
of their place that every one will find
something useful or ornamental that is
needed.
They now have contributors of home
made bread, cakes, cookies and salads
and many ladles have already found it
most convenient to drop In and leave an
order or buy some of the good things In
this line. An English woman Is prepared
to furnish such orange marmalade as we
hear of, from the old country. Those who
wish to leave orders In advance for home
made candies or delicacies may be sure
every care will be taken and the ladles
of the committee will be grateful ior such
assistance in the good cause.
