the force and from them to tha gen

of reformatory orders Issued yester
day by Acting Chief of Police Plover. In
pursuance of his campaign to bring the
force to a higher state of efficiency.
In his Incumbency of a week the new
r chief has been continually at his desk
' and the orders already Issued by him
( would make a arood-sised pamphlet.
J They hae been received In a generally
I friendly spirit, and the attitude of the
! men on the force toward their new
head, as indicated In headquarters gos-
sip. Indicates warm co-operation with
bis efforts.
Special to Itrpurt Dally.
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.
Persons having special police stars and
ao special police duty to perform will
loe their commissions as soon as the
checking process, started by Chief of
Police Slover. Is finished. Special police
men were called to the station for con
ference at 7 o'clock last night and re
ceived Instructions. Their duty now Is
.governed larcely by police regulations.
flpeclal policemen hereafter will re
port In person at the police station when
going to work and report off duty either
In person or by telephone. The Chief
said he wished to acquaint himself with
their duties and districts covered and
establtsh a system so as to kee,p in touch
with them.
As to on 1 forms. 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. "Hat" Hitching, an attorney, who
has been active In his efforts to mingle
In police affairs. Is attempting to es
tablish hlmwlf aa a counsellor of the
new administration and has been at
headquarters every dsy since the
change took place.
Coffey told to Hitching.
His visits, apparently, have not
. profited him much, a hla conferences
fhave been of the briefest. 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. Hltrhlngs
made similar efforts to establish a con
nection with the authorities and when
ha failed brought charges against Cap
tain Bailey, which were dismissed by
the Police Commissioners. 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.

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. He was as
sistant chief under David Campbell and
has had many years of experience aa
a firefighter. It Is believed in official
circles that he will bo named aa Chief
if he passes the forthcoming examina
tion. PROHI LEADER COMING

With young Consldlne was Robert
Harvey, a hardened offender of 17, who
announced proudly that he had been

sumed a severe attitude when the

his frowning demeanor soon led young
Consldlne to abandon the brave front
he had assumed and burst Into tears.
"These fellows Hk torture you
before they throw you In, Jack." said
Hsrvey. from the depths of a wide ex
perience. "You're Just like Tennant In
Seattle, Captain, only not so strong
with tha con-talk. You're tryln' to

Tha boy's voles trembled with Indig

my chum," he said, "and I will go to
tha front for him." Then his emotions
became too acute and he Joined hla

An Irishman Dlsensse Dublin.
PORTLAND. 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
