Learning that the detectives had bean
..to the district attorney seeking a war-
rant and claiming to have information
that would warrant them in making an
arrest. Captain Bruin demanded a' re-
port. Then he was told by the officers
' that their report was in the hands of

:-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.

you to do," responded the mayor.

sponded Commissioner Babln.
"Moved and seconded that Detective
- Kerrigan's resignation from the police
force be accepted," said the mayor quick
ly. "All In fsvor of that motion sig
nify It by saying "aye.'"
' Commissioners Babln and Greene voted
- in the afllrmatlve.
. "The motion - is carried and so or
dered," declared the mayor. "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." .

clflc on the eaat side, with a monopoly
of the business, is ft, or ti.tO each way,
the same charge which it Is proponed to
allow on Front street. .With competing
roads operating over Front street they
think the charge should be much lower.
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. Aa facts come to
light rejtandiDg the amount of business
that will be transacted over the Front
street line, it becomes Increasingly ap
parent that the franchise is of much
greater value than has been generally
realised).

way line on Fronf street wtlt be granted
if it is within my power to prevent It"
said Mayor Lane thia morning. "That
road should belong to. the people and no
private corporation should ba permitted
to control It and by so doing bottle up
the kyto the commercial Interests of
the west-side of the river. 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. "If there are
I am going to find nenmnt."

this morning ordered 100 copies of the
United Railways company's frenorrrtie
printed. These I am going to dlatributa
among tha attorneys and business men
of the city for their scrutiny. I am
going to ask them to read this fran
chise and pick it to pieces, and see if
there are Jokers in 1C We mean to
have this thing rlffht or not at all."
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.
