LIILLE GOES CLEAR BUT NOT DUSEAU THE LATTER OFFICER 18 SUS PENDED FOR PERIOD OF FOUR DAYS. At til adiourncd meeting of the board of pfilice commissioners last niuht Officer Thomas Unvwe wat romntetelv exonerated from all the charges brought againBt him by City Attorney Abcrcrombie. Officer Charlct Duhcau, however, was found guilty "of conduct unbe coming an officer" in accepting $2 from the woman, May Uavis, and as nunishment thereforhe wat suspend ed from duty for a period of four days without pay. The commission did not take up the ...iiiinn of the aoDointmcnt of a po lice hicf. Mr. j-oaro, president ot i the commission, brought up the ques- inn of an amiointment, but Commis sioners Logan and Cordon apparently were not prepared to make any nomi nations. The board adopted the following resolution in relation to Officer Lin villc: "The board having heard all the testimony offered in support of the charges preferred by City Attorney C H Ahrrcrombie against Officer Linville, and the explanations offered by Officer Linville, and witnesses, find that ic has done no wrong in the premises, unless it be that he ex hibited too much temper under severe provocation, and as' to that, Mr. Ab crcrombie does not care to press the charge. The charges are therefor dis missed." After this resolution was adopted, Commissioner Gordon stated that perhaps the resolution did not ex press the exact ideat of the commis sion, inasmuch as it was merely nega tive in form. It seemed to be the idea of Commissioner Gordon that Officer Linville should be commend ed for having done his duty, as well as merely stating that he had done no wrong. Commissioner L,ogan aiso intimated that perhaps the resolution should express credit for the officer, but President Foard though that in asmuch as the officer had perhaps transgressed in So severely arraigning the rnimilainant on Dersonal grounds, and in endeavoring to intimidate him. Therefore the. matter was dropped, the resolution unchanged. Generally speaking it may be said that the commissipners seemed to think that the officer was clearly and fully exonerated, and that as far as the charges were concerned, he de served credit in the premises such credit as any and all officers deserve for havmir merely performed tneir duty as they should perform it. W th Dubeau the matter was au- ferent. One of the commissioner nrohablv exoressed the. notion of all when he said that Dubeau had acted like a "blamed fool" in taking money from the woman, but there wat no suspicion of any deliberate wrong on the officer's part. "Blamed fool" seemed to express the whole of it. The Dubeau resolution reads: "Resolved: "That while we do not think Officer Dubeau was guilty of anything more than a thoughtjess act without suspicion of graft, or special nrntAtinn to the woman May Davis. he is hereby suspended for four dayi without pay. This was preceded by a resolution finding him guilty of conduct unbe coming an officer. Thus ends the charges against the two officers which turn out to have been an unfortunate matter more than nnvthinir pise. One of the commis sioners wanted to discharge Dubeau as a matter of discipline and a warn inir to other officers, but the two others thought this would be too severe a penalty. One phase of the investigation was not touched upon, and it may be worthy of comment. When Uubeau was on trial, and one of the witnesses was testifying it being a young man who had secured some testimony at the request of the city attorney rtntuxiH in somewhat of a bulldozing way tried to make it appear as if the young man had been down in tn.u nart of the town collecting evidence against the officer. Also, as if he had no right to do so. and that JJuncau was justified in being angry because li .lift n. Of course the young man was down there collecting evidence and he col lected enough to have Dubeau pnn- ict.H Kt. like some other police om ,-,r. in this and other cities, Dubeau seemed to think that the young man was committing a crime in securing the evidence, and probably the officer will be making threats to "get," him for so doing. To some it might ap pear as if Dubeau s attitude toward the young man was as great an 01 fence as taking the money from the woman. That the young man had as much right to aid in securing the evi dence as Dubeau would have in secur ing evidence against a lawbreaker did not seem' to impress " itself on the officer at all. Several other matters were passed uoon. Officer Houghton was given leavo of absence to go to California to visit his mother, whom he has not AT TIE D H3 I mm i I ui - - ALL - - THIS WEES THE - Royal Hawaiian Qrches? tra and Glee Club Rendering different Songs and Music every afternoon and evening.

President Foard brought up one .... TT A very important matter, nc iwku that numerous complaints had been made to him about the women in the cribs near Bond street, along between Seventh and Eighth, and in that neighborhood generally. These wom en can be seen from Eond street Their windows and often their doors are wide open. They hang out of the windows. Strangers who come to town, and oftentimes townspeople, are inexpressibly shocked t see these women in their windows like so many cattle up for show at a livestock ex hibit. Only in a few towns, and in the Pacific Northwest, can such sights be seen. President Foard thought that the police shunld see that the curtains be kept down or the women kept out of the windows. Acting Chief Oberg went to their defense. He thought it would "inter fere with their business." The other commissioners agreed that this practice must be stopped tn view of Bond street and the sugges tion was made that every effort should be made to keep that part of town as restricted as possible. The police were instructed to watch out for this matter. It was pointed out by the acting chief that this nart of town is in thoroughly good shape, quiet, with few crimes, and the streets are kept clear. Tbere is no jloubt that the district is, thoroughly subdued and kept in good shape by the police in ex ceptionally fine shape, though that question is far apart from the other question of every crib having its big window in which the women sit all dav long to the shame and scandal of cityens and strangers. Some of these windows are in plain view even from Bond street, and while it may in terfere with their business there seem to be other considerations as well. The whole city would seem to be in debted to President Foard and -tne two others commissioners for taking some action on this matter. Commissioner Gordon also brought Inp a matter of much importance. The question of having No Spit signs arotmd town was touched upon again and Commissioner Gordon and Com missioner Logan both recalled that once before when this plan was tried, it worked much good. Various ladies then helped. It was ordered that the j clerk, Judge Anderson, secure a nnm iw nf the icns and olace them. Commissioner Gordon also stated that it is a matter of frequent com ment that the down town streets and sidewalks are frequently very dirty; strangers notice it, too. It hurts the town. Oftentimes the sidewalks irt front of the stores are covered with litter, or one thing or another. Mr. P.nrrlnn said it was not dear that anything can be done, but he thought it would mean much it all would join in on a dan to make the town bright and spick and span. Something may grow out of this suggestion yet. tor it itt one of those thines that all agree is an excellent one, and seemingly all that it reninred to out it in working order is a common or civic impulse. Duncan Irving, the leading role ia De Mille's great American play "Classmates," will be played by Nor man Hackett at the Astoria Theatre on April 24th. All This Week nn iii y ,u i -kj All the Latest Hits Walked Many Miles- Three young ladies who reside at the Irvinir Hotel walked out to Olncy and back again yesterday, a distance of over 18 miles, in fact, nearly 20 miles. They started out for an hour s walk in the morning, but were 'en tranced by the beauties of the coun try and kept on going and , going. When they wer? not back at noon some alarm began to be felt and when they were not back at the dinner hour last night there was much fear that some untoward accident had oc curred. It was thought they might have gotten over on the river and all drowned. Finally, at dark, they reach ed home-, worn out. hardlv able to walk another step, and feverish and. sick. What had at first to them ap peared as only a lark gave much alarm to their friends and probably will leave the three of them in bed for several days. They got home just as a searching party was starting out to look them up.
