He Saw Policeman Comfortably Seated, Smoking and Conversing To th Police Committee of the Ex ecutive Iiourd thU morning. General Cliurlex V. lie bo i did a story of having met at 1 o'clock this morning a patrol man, who apparently thought he was fully discharging hi dutiei when he sat In a cigar etore and cdnveraed with the proprietor of the place. The General had been to Vancouver to attend the reception to General Fuoaton, and he wae late In returning home. He topped at the cigar etore to purchaso weed. There he taw a policeman Sit ting in a chair, puffing a cigar and taking Ufa with the ease of a man who hud nothing to do 1mt look huppy. hen I saw him I stared In amaie- ment," said the Ooneral. '! asked him if he was on duty, and he told me he was. His reply was astonishing to me, but he sat there as comfortably as If his neglect was of nightly occurrence." What was his number?" asked Chief Hunt, drawing out his notebook In a business-like way. "We had better keep that secret until we are able to make an Investigation," replied the General. "The offense Is serious, said the Chief. "However, It la not nearly so se rious as a breach of discipline that came 4o my attention a few days ago. A man had been robbed of a diamond and a watch by two thieves. The officer wan told about the crime. His plain duty was to arrest those men, but he did not do it, for the reason that the man who was robbed had refused to make a complaint." 'And the robbers escaped ?" Inquired Commissioner SIchel. 'No, they did not. Wo got them a couple of days later. - The policeman's exctrfie was that the man would not pros ecute. Now, I will make charges against that policeman, and he should be prose cuted before this committee." ' The officer who Is to be prosecuted Is Patrolman Nelson. One of the thieves arrested Is liartney, who Is now In Jail. The committee does not believe Nelson willfully neglected to make the arrests, but that he simply had no conception of the nature of his duties. A complaint against Patrolman Axel Walsh was referred to Chief Hunt for investigation. This is the second that has been filed against this officer, who stationed at the Union Depot, and who is accused of having used unnec essary violence In ejecting people from the station. The commissioners, the Mayor and Chief Hunt thought Walsh might have employed too much muscle in handling people, but they recognized the fact that his duties require a great deal of vigorous exercise, as many of ths hack driver cause the policeman mora ; or less trouble, and aneakthtevea gather around the station at train time. A complaint was also made against Patrolman Qulnton. whom worklngmen aay overstepped bis authority during tht striae trouble at the Weinnara uuiiaing. Chief Hunt admitted that Qulnton bad gone beyond a nairnlman'g rights, but added that the officer had simply mis construed his orders. The resignation of Patrolman H. A. Parker was accepted am) a recommenda tion was made to the Executive Board that ex-Policeman Inn Connors bs ap pointed to succeed him. Tha investigation of the cas of Pa trolman .Johnson, who knocked a ' man down In a saloon for disorderly conduct and then failed to place him under ar rest, was laid over for the time being. Johnson has been suspended. HE CANNOT KEEP FROM EVIL WAYS side bat Escapes Arrest. "Chick" Houghton two weeks ago re ceived a sentence of right years in the penitentiary for robbing a stranger In a saloon on First stieet. Hougnton s father. .who is blind, cume to his boy's aid, and by earnest work on the part of legal talent, main v J by him, a new trial was granted In the State Circuit Court The young iiihii was released one week ago. . He enjoyed his freedom only two days m-nen ho again forfeited the respect Of his frlemlr.. and the heart felt well-Wishes of hln aged parents. ButurUay -evening the young man en tered Ben Sellings clothing store and asked to be shown neekwear. A sales man watted on the customer and boiJ mm a tie valued at 60 cents. Wu.ie waiting for the purchase, Houghton is said to havs deftiy fingered the box of neck apparel and purlolnol a tie valued at 60 cents. A. . Rahlas, employed by Mr. Selling, and who Is acquainted with Houghton, observed the action, and hastening to Houghton's side, asked the culprit to disgorge. Houghton at first denied all knowledge of the missing goods and was In a humor to be ugly. At last Hougnton suiu he' wanted no trouble and produced from a coat pocket tne article he had stolen. Mr. Rahlas said this morning In dis cussing tha matter: "I have known Houghton for quite a long time. I was acquainted with him when he was con sidered a promising youth! He attended armory meetings nnd was regarded as good fellow. I understand that evil companions hare been his ruin." Houghton's case appears to be a par ticularly sad one. The elder Houghton is bllmi, and, the little property he has acquired Is needed for the support df his wife and himself. Notwithstanding the wants of the aged couple, they have gone so far as to mortgage their home in order to help their son out of the difficulty he is now In. The police were notified, but have not been asked to arrest Houghton for his lust violation of law. j MAY STRIKE TOMORROW. Mail orders s Filled r 4; , Promptly, 444146 Third!

ASTORIA, April 15. On last Monday a sensational story was printed-here' and at Portland to the effect that evi dence had been adduced which reflected seriously on the honesty bf Water Bai liff Marshall, a deputy in the Oregon fisheries department. It was charged that Marshall, during the closed fishing season, had offered to permit fishermen to fish unmolested on condition that they pay to him each the sum of $5.

"The statement that I offered to allow fishermen to fish during the closed sea son Is wholly untrue," said he. "I saw an Astoria newspaper last night that contained the charge which has been made against me. There is absolutely no truth in It "Several times of late I have been approached by fishermen who have of fered to pay me various sums of money If I would allow them to fish prior to tha opening of the season. I rejected the offers and am satisfied that the story which has since appeared came from the men who made the unsuccess ful effort to bribe me." Another prominent man who is con. nected with the fisheries department ot Washington says that there is plenty of opportunity for deputies to engage IB crooked . work. He Intimated In con versation with a reporter that hundsoms sums would be paid by employers of fishermen. He further stated that iths greatest menace to successful enforce ment of the closed fishing season law was a large Portland market, which en courages men to supply It with tisli. LOCOMOTIVES FOR 0.
