Then he was told by the officers ' that their report was in the hands of Chief' Qrttsmacher. After applying to the- letter. Captain Brwla finally got -a report, from this ha foVmed a theory which ha believes ta tha same that was being; worked, upon by the detectives. :.rpU to floss Biieetoa. :-Whea Captain Bruin learned of the Issuance of tha warrant he Immediately - demanded from Snow and Kerrigan a . report aa ta what Information they had ' and tha Identity of their suspect. - Ker rigan declined to make a statement, - and soma hot words followed. Tha re sult was that ho and Snow were oiled before the Bailee aoBuolaalon to explain their action. During tha Investigation in the pri vate apartments Of Mayor Lane In the - Oregon hotel Kerrigan manifested a belligerent attitude. Ho declared that Thomas Greene of tha police committee attempting-ae bun off the force. -This accusation against one of tha members of his oommiaston stirred tha wrath, of the mayor. Ua waa also . disturbed because Kerrigan waa talk ing loud . .. .. 'Sea hare, Mr. Kerrigan. I will not allow any auch loud shouting as that In this- rdtora. said tha mayor. "If you want to talk like that you will please go outside. "1 will resign from tha department," declared ' Kerrigan, angrily. 7 "It might be a pretty good thing for you to do," responded the mayor. -JeJiove that Detective Kerrigan's resignation be accepted," interposed Mt"orimieeioner"Jrene. - XeetgnaUoa .

"Tour res ignation Is accepted, Mr. Kerrigan." The majror declared that an attempt would be made to unravel the entan glement. I am a little sorry -we accepted the resignation of Kerrigan yesterday," he ' ssld, "I believe we should have failed to recognise his resignation and placed Mm on trial for insubordination because ef the menner kn which he talked to the committee. There is something be- ' neath all this snd it msy come out. , The .committee are at work on the matter now. The fact that the de tectives made a fake report, to Captain Bruin: that they attempted to get Mrs. Kuhn to put up the reward and attempt- i ed to get her to sign a John Doe war rant which- would lead to the arrest of her own son looks suspicious to me." .

A number ' of large shippers who -were Interviewed this morning expressed tha oninlon thst the charge of IS would be unt isonably high. . 1'letoher Linn of the Oregon Furniture company aald that ha had found thia to ba the, general Im pression, although ha is personally in clined to the belief that a 16. charge will impose no particular burden on the shlDDlns Interests, v "The majority of the shippers think that a switching charge of S Is exces sive and they believe that the maximum should not be over $,", said Mr. Linn. "That la tha general opinion- among tha Booth-Portland shippers.-The -experKi ence of our company haa been, however, that any switching charge la absorbed In the freight charges of the road ovor which tha goods are shipped, so that It does not make much dlfturerwe to the Shipper whether the charge is II or ." Representatives of .tha Luckel, King A Cake Boap company, tha Portland Lum ber company, Weber Brothers' tsnnery nd ' ether South- Portland manufactur ing concerns expressed themselves a of tha opinion that the II charge would be excessive. It has been pointed out. that even though the switching charge . of i should not be excessive st tills time, it should not be Imposed for the term t 21 years. The 'proposal" nas"DPcmnnde- that provision snoum ds maae in in. ordinances for a revision of the charge every Ave years. Improved methods ol operation -may greatly reduce the cost of switching to the railroads, and' the shippers should share In the benefit ol such reduction. This Idea .Is said ta meet with the approval of Mayor Lane. and wlU probably be Included among bU reoom mendn t Ions. Aa the Front street ordinances now stand the city council has surrendered altogether the proposed tax of 11 per car and has" flxtxf the switching chsrge at a fUture -which is regarded by many shippers as too high.

The city should own s"Bd operate this road and p.rm(Wany corporation desiring en trance to the city to travel over It," '. This expression shows that the mayor la not pleased with tha franchise which the city council pioposea granting to the United Hallways company, which wlU give them control of the traflle over Front street, and that If - it Is passed ha 'will veto the measure when It comes to him. , - '.There may" bebther' Jokwa In that franchise." continued he.

It Is understood that tha decision of the mayor will be supported ' by tha members of the ohamber, of -commerce and board- of - trade who. remonstrated to tha council against granting any one company control over the Front street road, and who favor the munteipai eon troi of. such a line.
