24: THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 13, 1905. LIKE DEVERY'S POLICE COURTS Lacking the Humor of Those of New York Is That of Portland. CHARGES AGAINST SLEUTHS JIartman Must Make Further Shovr Ing No Written Charge Against Snow and Kerrigan Petcr son Is Reprimanded. Once upon a time New York had a Police Chief named Bill Devery. He was chief high executioner of the police trial board and was heralded as the "best Chief of Police New York ever had." Bill Devery gave to the world that elegant epigram, "touching on and ap pertaining to." and he gave It while he was passing sentences upon patrolmen and detectives who were brought before him for various Infractions of the police reg ulations. Chief Bill Devoir's police trial courts began -the greatest of American jokes. His wit and caustic comments were lipped around the world, thanks to the telegraph. Portland's Police Committee. Of course, this micht strike the lay mind as having nothing to do with the Portland Police Committee, provided un der the new charter, but if yesterday's proceedings of this board is a sample of what is to follow, It will have Bill Devery's court beaten as decisively as the Japs have beaten the Russians. This new Police Committee is made up of Mayor Harry Lane, Attorney T. G. Green. JL Jj. Sabin and Niels J. Blagen. Attor ney Green seems to be the chairman of the committee, for he administers the oath and leads oft In the examination of principals and witnesses. The other members of the board or committee have the divine right of Interrogation and several times during the three hearings yesterday they made good use of that prerogative. There is little chance of the Portland Police Trial Court becoming as' famous for wit and humor as that once conducted by Bill Devery, but if other hearings furnish as much unalloyed amusement as the three cases heard yes terday, there will never be any more need of attending a ten, twent and thirt' show, whenever these hearings are on. Hartman's, the First Case. The first case taken was that of De tective 1. C. Hartman. The next was the case against Ben Peterson, who smote a barber citizen of the city on the cheek. The third was charges brought against Policeman Rogers, which exposed to the onlightenment of the committee the love affairs of a policeman and an ancient real estate dealer. The fourth rase never came to hearing. This was supposed to have been, to state It le gally the case of Kerrigan and Snow vs. the Police Committee. It was 5:30 o'clock when this case was reached and It was 5:32 when the case against thum was dismissed because there were no written charges tiled against the two city sleuths. Attorney and Chairman Green made this startling discovery, al though the newspapers have been teem ing with stories, telling how this pair of city thleftakers allowed Francis Mitchell to escape punishment by falling to appear against him. Next to the scandalous profane vocabu lary of Joe Day, the charges against Ker rigan and Snow were scheduled as reaching the high-water mark in connection with the recent police scandals. The story goes that Mayor Lane himself had ordored Acting Chief of Police Gritzmacher to : summon the two detectives before the committee. Perhaps the Mayor did not know that It was necessary to make writ ten charges against the detectives when he telephones his acting Chief to have them appear. "When the third case be fore the committee was concluded, the Mayor and Attorney Green seemed to be surprised to see Kerrigan and Snow still lingering. Some one present asked the detectives what they were there for. They did not seem to know. No "Written Charges. i i Suddenly Attorney Green stated that ! inasmuch as there were no written charges against them, they could not be heard. Both detectives stated that Assistant District Attorney Bert Haney ; was present and would explain every- ' thing, but both Attorney Green and Mayor Lane stated that on account o. certain logal safeguards, the commit- tee was not empowered to hear evi dence where there were no charges In writing. So, if Messrs. Kerrigan and Snow, who proclaim their innocence to the hlcrh heavens, but who nrnmlsed themselves in the future to prosecute every prisoner they arrest to the limit, are to be hauled before this committee again, some one must hand in written charges. The case of Detective I C Hart man was brought up with Its four charges, namely, neglect of duty, dis obedience of orders, absence and breach of discipline. Serious? "Well, rather. Hartman had gone to Chicago to get a prisoner. Hal Lawrence, and while on the way a couple of shrewd lawyers "sprung him on a writ of habeas cor pus, or something equally as formid able. The authorities notified the of ficials here that Lawrence had been turned loose, and a telegram was sent to Hartman, telling him to come back. Hartman says he did not receive the telegram, although Conductor Davis says he delivered the message Hart tnan's absence caused no cad of alarm at this end of the lino. It was printed that he had disappeared. Acting Chief Gritzmacher offered a bundle of docu ments in which there were a dozen or more telegrams. Hartman Makes Denial. Hartman denied receiving the "re call" .telegram, apd told of his arrival in Chicago, how he was told on the night of his arrival that Lawrence was in jail, and thaf on the following morn ing he was informed when he made a second call at headquarters that Law rence had been turned loose. Attorney Green, whose legal training has made him a good cross-examiner, pressed the witness very close. Hartman stated thfi't the reason he had not wired the department here that Lawrence had been liberated was because the Judge he did not remember whiclj Judge-tend two Chicago detectives, one whoso name was Morgan, told him not to do so, for Lawrence and his lawyers had a perfect underground system of obtaining- access to all the telegrams sent out of Chicago, and that if he (Hart marf) attempted to communicate with his Chief here. Lawrence would get "next" and would disappear. Hartman shouldn't have taken Morgaas word for anything. He's a second edition of Joe Day, only on a larger scale. Case Under Advisement. Hartman produced a lot of legal papers which he received from Spring field. 111., to show that he was trying hard to rearrest Lawrence. He as sured the committee that it he was Clven time he could secure affidavits from Morgan, his partner and the Judge upon whose advice he had acted. He was also given time to set an af fidavit from the conductor who is al leged to have delivered the telegram to him. The Board has the case under advisement. Chairman Green thought that the detective should have inquired for a telegram at every division. On his way to Chicago. Hartman stated, he stopped at Columbus, Neb., and vis ited his father, and that he stopped in Kansas City on his return home to see another relative. The trip cost the city $182. Mayor Lane took an Interest -Jn-what the two Chicago detectives and the Chicago Judge told Hartman. and. wanted to know of Hartman If he (Hartman) did not think 'they were joking. Hartman said he wrote to Acting: Chief Gritzmacher, but this let ter never was received. He was sus pended until he furnishes further proof of his innocence. Peterson Up for Brutality. The next case taken up was that of Policeman Ben Peterson, charged with brutality, in that he was accused by H. M. Howorth. a barber, of havinff slapped him in the face and shoved him rudely. Howorth was one of a crowd that surrounded a man who was re cently injured in a street-car accident. The barber stated that he was on his way home, and was attracted by the crowd. Just as he arrived, he says, Peterson plunged through the crowd and ordered everybody back. He said that Policeman Peterson shoved him so Tdolently and so far that he asked the policeman "if he wanted him to get off the earth?" Howorth said that when he asked Peterson this question he slanped him In the face. "While Peterson was telling his side of the story. Mayor Lane wanted to know if he (Peterson) was an amiable person. The word amiable .wasn't In the police manual, so the policeman could not an swer. Then the Mayor called for a vocal demonstration. He wanted to hear how Peterson's voice sounded when he ordered Howorth and the crowd back. Peterson stated that he used the same tone of voice in speaking to Howorth as he did to anyone In thp North End. The officer intimated that there were few gentlemen on his beat, and that when Howorth re fused to get back, that he thought he "had a couple of jolts of whisky." Sev eral witnesses were heard. When Peter son attempted to cross-examine Howorth an incipient squabble started, but Mayor Lane shut them off. Peterson's case was taken under advisement for a time, and finally he was ordered reprimanded. Love Affair in This. The third case produced a love affair. E. Simpson, who lives on Second street, between Columbia and Clay streets, was the complainant against Policeman W. H. Rogers. Simpson brought the charges, whatever they were, against Rogers be cause he Is a citizen tried and true. Pa-, trolman Rogers' troubles were the result of his love for Mrs. Belle Dalghton. While the policeman did not admit under oath that he was engaged to Mrs. Dalghton, he stated that It amounted to the same thing, for be had an understanding with her. It seems that J. L. Wigle. a real estate dealer, old enough to know better, was actually engaged to her. Wigle is a real estate dealer, and it seems that he has some business dealings with Mrs. Dalghton. On the day of the trouble, Wigle had called upon Mrs. Dalghton for a settlement. He wanted "his presents back," and the result was a row. Mrs. Dalghton, It seems, hail two strings to her bow and when Wigle became offen sive, she hunted up her policeman sweet heart, and called him into action. Witness and Accused in Altercation. Simpson stated that he heard Rogers threaten to sweep up the sidewalk with Wigle, and saw him take a picture out of a watchcharm which Wigle had shown to prove that he was engaged to Mrs. Dalgh ton. Simpson stated that he heard Rogers say that he also was engaged to the, woman. When Simpson. In his testimony cast a reflection upon the character of Mrs. Dalghton. without appealing to the committee. Policeman Rogers interrupted the witness, and a brief, wordy war fol lowed between the policeman and witness. Rogers proclaiming that he had often been in the lady s company, and that she had "always acted the perfect lady." Simpson assured the committee that ho had no special object in bringing the charges ngalnst Rogers other than that of seing Justice done to an old man. Wlgle's testimony favored the police man. He said that he was engaged to Mrs. Dalghton. "Are you still engaged to her?" asked Mayor Lane. Wigle blushed through his white beard and said: "What would you do If you were engaged to a woman and a thing like this came up." Mayor Lane, confessed his inability to cope with such a question. Rogers Is Discharged. Rogers confessed lhat he had been in love with Mrs. Dalghton, but admitted that since Tie discovered that she had- been engaged to Wigle also, that he had "turned her down." The woman In the case disappeared last Monday, so she was not present. Evidently, the committee did not like the looks of the case, and it dis charged Rogers from the police force. Be fore passing Judgment upon Rogers, Mayor l-ane, because the policeman re sented Simpson "butting in," delivered himself of a lecture. In which he Informed the officer that any good citizen could arrest a policeman if he saw him com mitting a wrongful act. It was a clt.x.en'8 duty, the Mayor said, to do this. Action Taken In Other Cases. Action was also taken in the cases of Night Patrol Driver J. H. Price and Patrolmen L. K. Evans and C. B. JoJon, who were tried by the co"mmIssIoners August 3 for various offenses. The find ings of the board were that Price should be adjudged technically guilty of conduct unbecoming an offlcer in connection with taking a suicide to the' Good Samaritan Hospital, and was rep rimanded accordingly. It was the judg ment of the commissioners that Price was a good officer outside of a pen chant for being quick-tempered. Patrolman Evans was found guilty of indiscretion amounting to conduct unbecoming an officer in the matter of his associations with certain elements in the North End, and was recommend ,ed for a reprimand. , Police Officer C. B. Jodon was found not guilty of "rushing: the growler" for two w6men on his East Side beat.

Before he reached his apart ments, returning, he fell to the floor and expired. Mrs. B.

The police and Coroner Flnley were notified. Capton Qulnlan dispatched an ambulance in charge of Policemen Hi lls and Seymour, but they returned to headquarters Immediately. Coroner Flnley took charge of the suicide's body. Coroner Flnley investigated the case, learning that the suicide had not been here long. During his short sojourn he had consorted with women of evil re pute, it is said, and had spent consid erable money in dissipation in various resorts. It Is presumed that he had expended what funds he possessed in this manner, had grown despondent and decided to take his own life.

Weidler. secretary for the Fire Department, suspended oy the Civil Service Commission. an4 was at the office of . the Civil Sen-Ice Com mission for some time yesterday after noon preparing his case for whatever ac tion Is necessary when the next move is made, which will probably take place in case Mr.' Weldler's salary is held-up by the body. In dlscu.vtnjr the situation yesterday ex-Mayor Williams said the matter of Weldler's appointment had been decided under section 315 of the charter, which provides that "No person shall btt appointed or employed under any title not appropriate to the duties to be per formed, and no person shall, without ex amination, be transferred or assigned to perform the duties or any position In the classified civil service unless "he shall have been appointed to the position from which such transfer is made as thn result of an open competitive examina tion, equivalent to that required for the position to which the transfer is made, or unless he shall have served with fidel ity for at least six yearsln a like position In the service of the city." Saj-s Commission Erred. "I do no think," said ex-Mayor Wil liams, "that the Civil Service Commis sion had any power to remove him in fact. I am sure It has no such right, as his appointment has been confirmed by subsequent commissions, and if such a condition prevailed it would result in all sorts of complications, because it could go over all the papers In every examina tion that has taken place before the commission, and find enough fault to throw every person employed under the civil service rules out of a Job.

The records of the Civil Service "Com mission show the following entry under date of June 16, 130i: "The Civil Service Commission of the Clt$' of Portland here by certifies thatIllton Weidler. has made satisfactoryproof to the commission that ho has been employed In one department of the public service of the city for the six years immediately preceding the tak Ine effect of the present city charter, and that the position which he occupied at the time the said charter took effect Is included in the classified civil service, to-wit:'deputy auditor, grade . and that by reason of the premises, the said Mil ton Weidler Is entitled to appointment to such position."
