San FrancUcp. Cal. Dec. J. That
Oilef of. Police. William J.' Bitty, who
mysteriously disappeared from .the po
lice patrol boat' Monday night, offered
to sacrifloe hi position 'to avert the
attacks made upon the administration
was 'Shown today with .the publication
of a; statement by Police Commissioner
," Huro D. Kell. BIggy's close friend. Keil
told Mayor Taylor yesterday afternoon
that the purpose of Btssy'a visit to Bel
vedere, where Keil'a home Is situated,
was to put his resignation as chief into
the commissioner's hands. .Before leav
ing i for Belvedere Chief Biggy pre
pared the resignation - in his own hand
writing. It set forth the reasons for
his Quitting the .department, and con
tained a denial of any charges of neg
lect of duty. ; . '. - - - v-
. Subject to Attack,
v The chief told Keil that he feared
both thepollce commission and Mayor
Edward R. Taylor were being- embar
rassed by. the frequency and bitterness
of the attacks upon his administration
of the police department and to save his
friends be was willing to sacrifice him
self. ' - ..'
Keil assured Blggy that the police
"commission was satisfied with bis ad
ministration and advised him not to
withdraw under fire. Keil argued with
Biggy for art hour and - a half,, and re
fused to allow him' to depart for San
Francisco In his despondent condition.
After a while Biggy appeared to re
gain his usual cheerful mood,-and de
parted on the journey, which ended so
tragically. '
' In the face of Indications of the con
flict raging in the chief's mind, and In
spite of his interview with Biggy. Keil
will not yet say that Biggy's death was
suicidal. Keil reiterated that he be
lieved the chief was accidentally
drowned, but Intimated the plausibility
of the suicide- theory. -
The resignation of the chief was
flven to Mayor Taylor by Keil. It sets
orth In detail the motives that Inspired
him in the administration of his office,
asserts the probity of his acts and
scores bis critics for, their alleged in
, Justice. .
siffTr' witn xamu .
The attacks upon' his character and
criticism of his administration of the
police department preyed upon the mind,
of Chief- Biggy on the afternoon pre
ceding bis disappearance, according to
Congressman Julius Kahn, who leaves
for Washington today. Kahn said, he
met Biggy on Monday afternoon near
police headquarters, and had a few min
utes' conversation With him. The urst
remark of Biggy was a question as to
whether -Kahn had seen the newspaper
roasts about htm. -
'Tie then spoke of being persecuted
by newspapers in ' this city," continued
Kahn. "and said he was subjected to the
annoyances because he refused to do pol
itics with their favorites.
"Blbby said, 'It will come out all right,
however, finally. This business can't
last forever, and I will eventually be
vindicated. They put me in office and
then thought I would do just as they
dictated. This is a long story, and It
would take some time to explain the
matter In its entirety, but come to see
me "When you return from Washington
and I will be ready to tell you every
thing. "We parted at the corner, and that Is
the last I saw of the chief."

of - the . course of lectures . Mr. - Moyer
said: t
"It Is not presumed that this Course
will make men successful - salesmen at
once. But It will ' give them a good
start. They will be able to see and do
some things that . untrained salesmen
learn only by years of experience. They
will be able to analyse themselves for
the causes of success or failure, In
stead of working blindly. I expect that
the class, after receiving, the benefit of
the - several lecturers and texts, will
turn out some very able salesmen."
Special talks will be given during the
T. fit. C A. course by prominent busi
ness men. Among the topics treated will
be: "Ideality In Salesmanship," by W. P.
Olds, of Olds, Wortman & King; "Power

BASE LINE :ACRES are exactly nine
miles due east of the courthouse, located on
Stark street, extended, now. known as the
Base Line road, and is only a few minutes'
walk beyond the' end of the Monatvilla car
line. We make the trip every day in an au
tomobile in 35 minutes, over the best road in
the state.
BASE LINE ACRES is traversed by the
accepted survey of the Mount Hood Rail
way, which road will be completed and in
operation within six months. - When com
pleted, this line will. carry you from BASE
LINE ACRES to the retail district in less
than 35 minutes. .
BASE LINE ACRES is close to a public
school, a few minutes walk from a church 1
and grocery stores, commands one of the fin- i
est scenic views in all the world, is certain
to become a part of Portland, and of fers the 1
best inducements for suburban living of any x
property in Multnomah county. Further
more, all the improvements of a first class
suburban community are present.
BASE LINE ACRES, fortunately, are
offered for sale at prices that are consider
ably below the price now charged for resi
dence lots 50x100 feet in size. Think of se
curing an acre for the price of a lot! Think
of the superior advantages afforded in the
way of pure air and all the health giving in
vigoration of such a sountry as surrounds
Portland!
' BASE LINE ACRES is now obtainable
for $225 per acre, and from that price up
to ?350. We will be pleased to sell it upon
the easiest kind of terms, and will be glad
to take you out to the property in our auto
mobile any day that is convenient. If you
buy an acre today, it is a foregone conclusion
that, one year from today it - will be worth
more than double the. present price. Besides
being a fine place for your horne, it is the
best realty investment that has been placed
upon the Portland market for years.
BASE LINE ACRES answers a popular
demand ' for . suburban1 homes that has been
increasing tremendously for -many months.
It is cheaper ; in price than any other land
along the Base: Line road, and merits your
closest, investigation.- It is upon 'property
of this kind that 'THE MAN OF TOMOR
ROW" will live. It is this kind of land that
the "COUNTRY LIFE COMMISSION,"
appointed by President Roosevelt, r which
convenes in this city today, will popularize.
