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.
Captain Moore, into whose hands the
control of the most important department
of police work passes, has long been re
garded as one of the ablest officers in the

department. 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.

generously consented to take charge of a

hour or more In the afternoon. The topics
to be studied will be decided by those who
form the class. We fell confident that the
programme for the year Is going to please
everybody, young and old, all the time,
because each one will have an opportunity
to assist in arranging at least one pro
gramme, and you are to provide Just what
you like best.
X- have appointed a chairir.an for each
meeting who will select her own committee.
I trust that the chalrmeh will select new
material as far as possible so that all will
have something to do. The chairmen of the
several committees for the different meet
ings of the club for the year are as fol
lows: Friday, January 14. Mrs. C. Mathoit;
February 18, Mrs. George J. Cameron;

the club by parents than ever before.
