,aioroing and that they were friendly
aow. At this state of the proceed
ings both of the officers turned to
each other and began to tell all
about it, and just how the - whole
thing had happened, They became
so ingrossed in their talk that they
seemed to forget the presence of the
oramissioners, who sat back for a
few moments and smiled at , the
digression. , v
Acting Chief Oberg told what he
fciew of the matter, which was mere-
F nearsav. and it was decided that
. while lie perhaps had done right in
making the charges that, nevertheless
learsay testimony should not be
received. ..
The evidence at no point showed
any gross or -wilfully bad action on
the part of Patrolman Linville. !
! "I admit we both did wrong," Pa
trolman Houghton had "said. "We
both talked loud and in a manner un
becoming officers of the law," and the
commissioners seemed to think that
the altercation was perhaps the worst
feature of the whole matter. ,:,
The investigation was held in the
Mayor's office, and but in the city
auditor's office were held a dozen
,witnesses that Patrolman Linville had
'called in his behalf, but tne commis;
Toners declared they did not care for
any more testimony. Attorney Eakin
and John Fastabend "were two men
who had met the accused police offi
cer that night,-as also had Officr
Thompson, but all were dismissed
without being called upon.
The whole matter"? seemed " to
dwindle down to proven facts that
the accused officer had entered the
saloon and had taken "one or more
drinks, and that Patrolman Hough;
ton, who never drinks at 'all, had
remonstrated with him because he
tad taken these Jew drinks. p
The investigation came to an end
with the adoption of the resolution as
gives above, and ended in good hu
mor on all sides. The commissioners
apparently believed that the ' whole
"holler" against the accused officer
came mainly from .the red-light dis
trict, where Patrolman Linville has
earned by loyal i wort" a"nd iron deter
mination the Jbitter-hatred of many.
While he was reprimanded for enter
ing a saloorij' fet the. whole p?oceecf
ing seemed'to entirely-cfei'r him of
any serious charge and they brought
forth the fact that he is looked upon
while on duty. But the reprimand
was also aimed at, other, officers, per
haps as11 much at them as at Patrol
man Linville, and the board announc
ed its determination to see that po
lice officers keep entirely out of sa
loons save as they may have to enter
them on "official business."
On this point Commissioner Gor
don and Commissioner ' Foard both
spoke to the point, and it looks as
if there will be trouble for the offi
cer who in the future enters a sa
loon to take a quiet "nip", , Then the
commissioners turned to other mat
ters. .
"For' your years," began Commis
sioner Foard, "our, store has been
robbed once a year. . There should be
some man on the force to look after
such matters."
At this point Commissioner Gordon
interrupted., He stated that he had'
a motion to make right along that
line; that the department requires the
services of a man to act in plain
clothes as a detective,' a man who
won't be tied down to a beat, but
will be free to Investigate and watch
out for criminals and robberies of
this nature. Mr: Gordon sai that he
had in mind a man who probably
could fill such a position well, and
tht he and Judge Page had discuss-!
ed him. "The man is Harry W. Rinn
whoyrecently has been employed as a
bookkeeper up jn the Alaska fisher
ies. ; He had entered an " application
for the place, and. was recommended
by W. F. McGregor and E. P. Noon
an.. During Mr. Foard's absence from
the city the other commissioners had
talked over the matter and both had
arrived at the conclusion .that Mr.
Rinn would make a good man. With
tit.' Foard'I "approval Mr. Rinn was
appointed. The plan is to have him
act as a detective and to do desk ser
vice in the station. Mr. Rinn has
claimed residence in Astoria for two
years. His application shows him to
be 30 years of age and to have been
born, in San Francisco.
Judge Page stated incidentally near
the close of the meeting that his term
of office will soon . expire and that he
will leave the city this fall, thus in
dicating that he is not to beJ a can
didate for re-election, it U V, ,
, Patrolman Xinville j after ; his, re;
instatement suggested that he had
one favor to ask and that was that
he-be placed-back on his . old beaMn
the "bad Jands." "I want them to see
that .they.' didn't' joi) me, jid as long
as they act right none of' thenV need
be araid of anything I dp.! i v. t ;
t It is presumed that? Acting? Chief
Oberg' will ptace Linville "back on his
I old beaf, 'though ;it may ; be doubtful
