Fpeclal policemen wearing tha uni form of the police and bearing com missions from the city will be re quired to report at the station every day. pursuant to orders of the chief.

Chief Slover gave them the option of either wearing uniforms or plain clothes, fpeclaia who prefer uniforms must keep out of saloons ex cept when strictly on duty, and observe all regulations of the police force. -We cannot hold regular policemen responsible, or trace complaints unless the men are held, too," said Chief Clover yesterday. "Often we are In formed that a uniformed officer has been seen loitering in a saloon, or doing some such thing. I'pon Investigation we have found In many such cases that the offender was a special, wearing the uniform. If they are to be allowed this privilege, they must conform to the discipline. "I also want to check up the special tars scattered about the city. There are some Issued during the teamsters" strike last Summer that have not been recalled. I want to know what each special Is doing that I may make a re port to the Police Commission." Backward to Be Prilled. Inspection of the force- In the Arm ory has been scheduled for some day of this week, and this prospect has brought to notice the fart that there was no muster of the department last year. Cfcisstp Is that the ceremony was omitted because the members wera In no condition to appear In a public pa rade and that an attempt to bring the force out on pars fie would have ex posed Its deterioration as a military body. A list of the undrlllrd men has been made up and they will be re quired to do recruit drill while the elder members are brushing up on platoon movements. Chief Slover, while not a military man. appreciates the value of the-drill in enhancing dis cipline and bearing. Respect for the Municipal Court and for the upper officers of the depart ment la enjoined In a separata order Issued yesterday. Critlrl-om Ordered Stopped. The chief says he had heard reports of bitter criticism directed at the court bv men who have not been satisfied with the judgment In cases worked up bv them. lie cautions the men that their duty ends when they have done their best to place the facts before the court. Hostile criticism of captains and sergeants and of fellow-officers Is also forbidden. Greater patience and courtesy n dealing with the general public will be required. J.

When the . members of the Police Committee of the Executive Hoard were In confer ence with Chief tflovsr yesterday. Hitrhlna-s hung around within hearing distance and at the close of the meet ing, attempted to engage la conversa tion with Chairman Coffey. He was dismissed very curtly. In the time of Chief Cox.

He was also active at the time of the recent grand Jury Investigation, offering evidence gathered by him In the North End. bat his assistance was not accepted. Po licemen charge that he wishes to use the department for the furtherance of personal ends. NURSES' SHIRKING DENIED Mr. Trumbull Pet-lares That Asso ciations Tried to Aid Family. That both the Visiting Nurse As sociation and the Associated Charities endeavored to obtain assistance for the Davis family, stricken with diph theria, and later ceased their efforts on 1 the advice of rr. Wheeler, was the statement made yesterday by Mrs. Mil- lie H. Trumbull, member of the Vlslt 1ng Nurse Association and formerly secretary of the Associated Charities. The published statement concerning h associativa was founded on super Wlal knowledge of the case." said Mrs. Trumbull. "The Visiting Nurse As sociation was apprised of the condition of the Davis family Toesdsy. At 11 o'clock at night our supervising nurse tried to get a special nursa to go on this case, but was ansuccessful. A rule of the association is that no Bursa shall serve aa a contagious case- Wa never refuse, however, to provide a special Bursa in such cases. A call cama In again Wednesday, not for a nurse, however, but for a woman to help with the work. Wa learned from the family that they were going to send three children to the hospital. We then tried to find a woman and the only one wa could get waa a nurse, who would do only nursing. , Later when I learned that they had not placed the children In the hospital I telephoned Dr. Wheeler and asked him why this bad not been done. He replied that officers of the health department had been over to the house and that the situation waa not as eerloua aa had been reported. He said he did not see why we had been appealed to. as a nurse waa not needed. There were two girls in the family who were able to do the work. 1 then requested him to let ua know In the event that a nursa was needed and he assured me he would do so. Later wa learned that the case had been turned over to the Klks, who had pro vided a nurse for the sick children. We were acting under Pr. Wheelers Instructions. We certainly were not careless ar Indifferent." Mr Pavls Is a member In good stand ing of the local lodge of Elks and the assistance he la receiving from the organisation is only what would be accorded any member who required It. The article with reference to diph theria casea In the family of Mr. Pavls. referring to the charity nurses of a local organisation which depends upon popu lar support for Its upkeep. Is ha'dly fair." asld Pr. Wheeler. "The Visiting Nurse Association did not refuse to sup ply nurses, as they had nurses for that work and were ready and willing to supply them, but nurses had been pre viously supplied by some other organlxa tlon." FIRE GiTiSlROBLEM HOW TO COXDCCT EXAMIXATIOX rrzzi.ES COMMISSION. Scope of Tent to Pecide Eligible I'd decided I-andrnklo Flavored In Official Circles. How to proceed with the examination for Chief of the Klra Department Is a question that is giving the members or the Civil Service Commission some study Just now. A perrosnent succes sor to the late Chief Campbell, who waa killed in an oil explosion, must be chosen sooner or later, and the po sition la under civil oervlce. When the civil service rules wera adopted and put into force In Port land. David Campbell was retained as Chief of the Klre Department without any special examination. Now. how ever, before an eligible Hat can bo certified, an examination must be held. The scope of this examination is what Is bothering the members of the com mission. How msny points. If any. shall be allowed for experience or length of service in the department and what questions shall be propounded are problems to be worked out. The position of Chief of the Fire Department Is a very responsible one perhapa the most responsible In the city. It pays tZtO a month. The de partment Is the most expenslva to maintain, the salary roll being close to 110.004 a month, to aay nothing of i. - . .f hnr... and the construction of new engine-houses and purchase or apparaiua. i. iuucn kloa la now Acting Chief.

July 7. (To the Edi tor.) The Oregonlan of today observes: "Dublin Is divided on the address to the King, and naturally Dublin could not be Dublin and be of one opinion." If this expresses the general opinion of Portland. Or- Isn't It fine? "Oh, folne!" Ttera are no divisions in this polished habitation. Everybody Is so refined In manners, language, fraternisation, re ligion and politics, and everybody is naturally of one opinion. Nay. does anyone Imagine that if Portland could be made a suburb of Dublin, that the Irish people would want home rule? Home rule la not hog rule! I have it on a statement from one of our affable citizens, that when the devil surveyed this fresh crop of muni cipal apostles, revitalised and dazzling with a "Far Down" Irishman for pri vate secretary, he Immediately ordered a coronation down below.
