' MOORE HEADS DETECTIVES Ualy, Former Sleuth Director, Goes Into Uniform on Second N'ight Re lief Slover Gets Day Work, Bailey Early Part of Xlght. ' In the wake of the sensation caused by the expose of the Harvey Dale gang of bunco steerers. Chief of Police Cox caused another sensation last night by the biggest police shakeup which has occurred in the department for a num ber of years. Alleging that he acted in the best interests of the service, he ordered the transfer of all captains in the department. Captain Baty is re lieved from the command of the de tectives and is succeeded by Captain Dient. The otner captains are muvcu about to fill up the attending vacan cies. The order goes into ef feot to morrow. The commands of the chief were posted in police headquarters shortly before 6 o'clock last night, and are couched in the following words: Captains .Moore, Eailey. Slover and Baty: For the good of the service It Is ofttimes necessary to make changes In the police department. This is also re quired at times to relieve one man of unpleasant and tiresome hours to which i... m... Vin,.a hen AKstfirned for a lengthy period and for these easons it is herebv ordered that the following changes be made: fontafn 7u nnrp helnir senior captain. will be assigned to command of the detective department In place of Cap tain Batv. Captain Bailey will take the place of Captain Moore in charge of the first night relief. Captain Slover will have charge or the aay reuei m p of Captain Bailey, and Captain Baty will have charge of the second night relief In place of Captain Slover. These changes will tie enecuve muimaj, vembcr 22, 1909. Orderly Entirely Unexpected. The order came like a bombshell and mrnriaoH everv member of the depart- mnt takinir unawares perhaps most of all the officers affected Dy us provi !nm None were prepared for the move, which throws each captain into a more or Jess new field or auiy ana seta a mark of new discipline for the de partment. In explanation Qf the changes Chief Cox said: "There seems to nave oeen a aBiimuu fr a rhmiea in the administration of the branches of the department, and I have made the changes which I believe to be the best under the circumstances for the best interests or tne ponce service of the city. Th order is not intended to be- a rehuke to anv special officer. It is done because a change at this time has seemed necessary. I have selected Cap tain Moore for charge or tne aeiecuva fcranch because he is a spienaia aisci- plinarian. and I believe quaiuiea w bring about results wnicn j. imvu ex plained to him I desire Irora mis branch of the force. The position was unsought by Captain Moore, in laci, i have reason to believe inai ne naa never regarded the possibility of such a change favorably. Captain Baty asked to be relieved of the command of the detectives when I was appointed chief, but I did not care to make any .changes at that time. He has always expressed a willingness to be transferred to the uniform branch of the service. Captain aiover nas naa a luuis term of the night work, and the change all around should prove beneficial." Detectives Will Have to' Work. While nothing is said In the Chief's or der relative to the conduct of the detec tive force. It is said that drastic orders have been conveyed to Captain Moore with reference to the piain-clothes men. The conduct of the department will be changed greatly, it is intimated, and the present system continually reconstructed until satisfactory results are obtained. It is believed that hereafter the men in this department will have to report fre quently during the day to Captain Moore, and that matters of investigation which before have frequently been left to the judgment of the individual detectives will now have to be referred to Captain Moore. Stoolpigons will be prohibited, under pen alty of dismissal, and the paths qf the plain-clothes officer will be made a trifle more thorny than in the past. Chief Cox aptly describee the situation thus: "It is merely a matter of business. The police department is paid for preserving the peace, maintaining the public safety and enforcing the laws of the community. It Is up to the police department to do it. It should be its only consideration. If some of the laws are Irksome, their bad features will never be found out unless they are enforced. We.are expected to do certain things in this line, and as far as . I am able I will see that they are done." 'r Captain Moore Capable.

He entered' the service as a patrolman under Chief Parrish in 1890, and after serving four years retired to en gage in business. He re-entered the serv ice as a patrolman in July, 1S98. when the department consisted only of about 40 men. After one year on patrol duty he was promoted to night jailer, and in an other year was advanced to the grade of patrol sergeant. He was appointed cap tain in June, 1901. Captain Bailey was appointed captain two years later, July 4, 1903. Captain Slover was promoted to his present rank November 17, 1SC5. Captain Baty was made captain in June of this year. Captain Moore has the reputation of being a cool, level-headed, steady and in telligent police officer. In times of dan ger and under pressure of great excite ment he has displayed good judgment and has always Inspired confidence in the men working under him. He is the best disciplinarian in the department, and it has been entirely due to his drill ability that the Portland police department has been coached into the tine form which has marked all of Its public appearances. Under the new regime, gamblers, bunco men and fakers of all kinds will not be tolerated in Portland. IVIOTHERS'CLUBTOSTUDY MRS. F. A. WELLS, NEW PRESI DENT, OUTLINES WORK.
