J At a aaaslon of the police committee tof the executive board yesterday after- i' boon Captain Bruin said many uncom plimentary things about the four ex ' detectives and they aat back against the wall and looked at him with nar- .. rowing eyes and unfriendly regard.

Captain Bruin, In answer to all this, ald that the four men were Incapable and during the time they were sup - ose4 to serre under him they produced ' no results, .that crime of all kinds was rampant along the paths they trod while discharge of "these men-el months bs for the action. was finally taken," , '1 SetaetJres Wars. Surly. Continuing Bruin stated' that the four men had never, mad voluntary re ports to him as was required by the regulations but on tb other hand war aurly and insubordinate. They had al ways told him when, questioned con cerning the situation In the north, end, or aambllng, or pool selling, concert halls, or any violation of the law that they knew of nothing out of th way. They sometimes had reported that hold up men or aurettilng gamblers were In town, but had never been known to bring one In for violating th law. In one particular instance, Captain Bruin continued, Detective Snow had mad a, falsa report on a murder eaa as a result of which. Ms partner, Ker rigan, had resigned from the force, fhe report -wal false and misleading In every particular. ' This was th Kuhn murder case on Williams avenue and up to this time there has never been ' a clue found leading to the perpetrators of the deed. At the conclusion of Captain Bruin' testimony the hearing was adjourned until Monday night at 7:10 o'clock, when Cantaln Oiittmarher will be -placed upon the stand, after which th defendants will take the stand to show that Captain Bruin had his knife .out for them without cause and kept It out Until he succeeded In prying them loose from their salaries. 1 Yonng Men In the Toll. Robert Garretson, Ralph Stow, and Foster HlnckavaU under II Tears of age,, were arrested last night by Acting Defective Tom Coleman and Frlrate De tective Lou Hirtman , on charges of unbecoming conduct in a houseboat on Hardtack Island. One of the girls In volved In the affair Is now in a critical condition, so It Is alleged, from drug administered last night by one of the boys under arrest. Judge Fraser was apprised of the arrests, and after hear ing the details of the cases ordered the in re young men 10 appear oeiore mm Menaay. Metsger A Oo, ' optlolan.

The police -committee met yesterday k . afternoon, to take up the hearing of the four detectives as directed by Judge r Sears' some time ago when their case went to hint on appeal. The four men . .are protesting agalnat their dlamissal . more than a year ago and are desirous :" of being reinstated to (heir old posl ' - tions, at the same time' they ask salary . for the time they have been barred from the municipal ..pi . table by the order - of the executive board. ; ' The men .were dismissed from the ser- vioe a. yea last Auguat upon recom , tnendation of Mayor Lane, who charged ( them with Incompetency, Insubordina- ' non ana rauure 10 proauce results, l itrv ..contested the case and the upper court . : directed that the complaint agalnnt .. them be made more definite. Accoril t. Jngly a new complaint was filed against them In which specific Instances of non ' observance of rules and failure to make good on assignments given them were j Outlined. i I ' Xotlons to Quash Overruled. , - It eras upon this second complaint that the hearing was oponed yesterday. At the hietlng Thomas O. Green pre : elded,-while R. L. Babln and Mayor Lane . were Tne oiner memoera in attendance. , Th city w represented by Frank -8. '- . .. Grant and the detectives by Mr. Moody. Jn the beginning; Mr. Moody presented ' ' motion to quash the proceealngs be cause of lack of Jurisdiction on the part of the police committee. This - was overruled and Mr. Moody followed second!. motion to quash because w th complaint was not signed by an Officer having authority to sign such a. document This was also overruled, ; after which Mr. Moody filed a demurrer to the charges on the ground that they were not definite and certain arid 'lid not outline facts sufficient to con' ' . "Btitute an offense. This effort met 1tfie sane-fate as these preceding It. -Th. attorney for the defendants then :'. took another tack and demanded a hear- Jng before the entire executive board. In support of his doroand he introduced ,. an affidavit by the detectives charg ing that the members of the police committee were prejudiced and biased against them, particularly Greene. Babln stnd'th mayor. This demand waa also Refused by Mr. Greene, after which CaD- iaJn Brula was placed upon 4be atand -- find' the real work of tlie-faearkig be--, gan. . . ' Xefoaed to Hake ports. Captain Bruin testified that In prac tically every case assigned to them the four men In Question had refused to make reports to htm, as was provided ' In the rules and regulations govern ing the bureau of criminal investlga- ' non. iie explained, mac written re ports were reauired in all bases assloned to detectives for the purpose of keeping , ; recoro, oi an cases ana criminals, i He showed by the assignment blanks , ' which he kept on file In his office that a short time prior to the dismissal of tne rour men he had assigned 47 cases to Detective enow, 14 canes to Carpen ter, 44 to Retain and 68 to Joe Day and had not received any report what- soever' In any of the cases so that they naa to- timer oe aroppea or reassigned to other officers. Mr. Mflody attempted to make the wit ness state that he wast depending upon Ms memory and therefor did not know in reality whether reports had been mane or not ana demanded that the j records of the central station be placed .- at his disposal in order to prove that his contention was so. After some ar gument, It was decided that Moody and the citv attorney's office could go over the records In all cases cited in the complaint to see whether or not re . ports had been filed. Wanted to Round f p Tnugv. Chairman Greene stated In allowing an examination of the reports that the ', hearing was not a trial or a criminal ,. proceeding, but was simply an Investi gation being made by servants of the fieopio to determine the fitness and quai BciitfimB of public employes. 5 Tnkin UP the Investigation again , Mr. Moody questioned Captain Bruin about the disposition he made of his men while the four ' detectives rwre on the force. Is 1t not a fact," he asked, "that you cent tnnse old ana exnerlenced men , out Into the suburbs away from the j center of town and kept them on duty ; there?" "Yes." replied Captain Bruln, "I sent j them out there as I did all the other . available men I could find, and I went myself. At that time the town was everrun with hnMnn mn i housebreakers and I was trying to clean ; up the conditions. I sent them out , mere necause that was where these , v, depredations were being committed." ,l ' Wever Caught a Criminal. "I would like to ask," Interposed Mr Oreene, 'If either of these four men . . over caught one of these holdup men or thugs or burglars?"

There is a report en file In the mayor's of WE ARE DISPOSINO OF SHARES ONLY THAT WE MAY HURRY ALONG THEIR PRODUCTION AND ENLARGE THEIR DIVIDEND POSSIBILITIES. Our mines in Siskiyou county, California, beyond the southern line of Oregon, are among the richest quartz and placers in the country. This has been proven. It is not a guess. Those from whom we purchased the twelve properties were operating them, and had been, for some time, but with an equipment that would have required 150 years to exhaust their gold. WE donot mine in that fash ion. WE WANT THAT GOLD NOW! We pre fer to have it coined ourselves, not preserve it for coming generations. Not having all the means nec essary to THOROUGHLY equip the properties, we are willing to take in a few partners, at 50 cents on the dollar of the value of our stock, and EVERY INVESTOR IN OUR SHARES SHALL PARTICIPATE WITH US IN THE ENOR MOUS PROFITS THAT A LITTLE LATER WILL BE THEIR PORTION. We believe we have the best mining proposition on the market. We think there is no doubt or it, and it is , growing better from day to day. We have TWELVE distinct gold quartz and placers, and TWO coppers, one of 14 locations and the last se cured, within 200 feet of the Yreka railroad, 1,800x600 feet, THOROUGHLY explored and tested, and of absolutely known value. All these properties are grouped together, and EVERY SHARE OF STOCK HAS AN INTEREST IN THE ENTIRE LOT in all our holdings in Siskiyou county. And best of all, Portland shareholders can easily pay a personal visit to Siskiyou county. The fare from Portland is only $12.60. Trains departing from Portland at 7:25 in the evening arrive at Montague at 3:31 next day, from whence a railroad seven miles long runs to Yreka, only six miles distant from the mines. At Yreka is a fine hotel, and all modern conven iences, and an active Chamber of Commerce. This latter body wilj answer any questions relating to Siskiyou county, including our mines and our stand ing and financial responsibility. THERE IS NO CHANCE IN AN INVESTMENT IN THIS PROPERTY. We know the gold is there. We do not have to guess about it, and we are confident our shares will sell at $3 to $5 each within a year. $100 WILL BUY 200 SHARES NOW, BEFORE THE RAISE TO 75 CENTS, AND THIS STOCK WE EMPHATICALLY BELIEVE WILL BE WORTH $600 12 MONTH$ HENCE. If it is not worth $1,000 wehall be disannointed. because these are gold MINES, not gold '"pros pects." Then, we expect, along will come the cop per dividends to add to the incomes of our partners, and, we apprehend, these will be of no small pro portion. The fact is, investments in our shares at present prices will earn sare money for the investor than is paid any salaried man in Portland not at the head of a bank or president of some great corporation. 3 3 i t Would Yon Like to Have This Stream of Currency Flowing Into Yonr Coffers Without Cessation? t PRICES AND TERMS 100 shares, BO per sha.-e, f 50, f)10 down, f 5 per month; 250 shares f IB j down, flO per month; 500 shares, f50 down, $25 per month; 1,000 shares, ?50 down, $33 per month I Ten per cent discount for cash. . - CUT OUT AND MAIL THIS COUPON TO US TODAY The Champion Group Mining Co., Couch Building, Fourth and Washington Streets, Portland, Oregon: Gentlemen: Please mail, without cost to me descriptive booklet relating to your Champion Group Mining properties, and oblige, Name Street and No Town State r -( t ( t ( t I t t f ilea b0 wing .int , i recommends ., WMHHr WHHrf WJMrHHHHr Are mmmi B.

The Cold Drerjge Makes Money Where a Coolie Would Starve Dollars -Will Multiply : WHEN INVESTED IN THE UTAH GOLD FIELDS Many a man has lost opportunities by not investing in stocks when they' were cheap, and in after years regretted the same. The average man heaves a sigh and thinks how unlucky he is that he didn't have an opportunity to buy COMSTOC$ shares at the time when these shares were considered worthless, and the entire property actually sold for a mere song, $30,000, It never occurs to him to look around for another "COMSTOCK," and if a suggestion is made for him to in vest he immediately regards his advisor as visionary. It is just here in the forma tion of such conclusions that he shows he is lacking in the quality that makes money. If you find yourself given to such ideas you are a slave to ignorance, utterly dead to the opportunities around you. You think how you might, have in vested $150 in that stock and become independently rich and imagine that was the greatest of all chances. As a matter of fact, it is only one of many. Men are becoming rich every day in the mining world, men who have the courage to investigate, and the will power to form their own conclusion, regardless of the advice of so-called "friends." For the sole purpose of installing a GOLD DREDGE on our Southern Utah properties we are placing a few of our shares on the market at TEN CENTS a share, par value ONE DOLLAR, fully paid and non-assessable.
