TO PROVE CHARGES
Case of Master of Steamer
Against Harbormaster Is
Thrown Out
The charges of Captain E. W. Spen
cer, owner of the steamer Charles R,
Spencer, against Harbormaster Speler
and ,Harbpr , Patrolman Lints, were
quickly dismissed yesterday tafternoon
by the police committee of the execu
tive board. This action by the commit
tee was taken upon refusal of Captain
Spencer to answer questions asked by
City Attorney Grant and Attorney W. C.
Bristol . ' , -
Captain Spencer charged the harbor
officials with favoritism and with ma
licious prosecution In the arrest of Cap
tain Charles Spencer on July 7 for vio
lating the harbor speed limit .. Charles
Spencer was not present; and the at
torneys for the defense charged that his
absence, indicated that tie was afraid to
appear and substantiate his charges.
The case against Charles Spencer
was Called in tho municipal court July
8, and set for July 14. Judge Bennett
changeu the date back, to July 12. He
failed to make clear why the change
was made, further than it had - been
represented to him by both parties that
they were willing. The harbormaster
disclaimed knowledge yof the change.
Judge Bennett said,, however, he remem
bered Captain Spencer mentioning some
thing about the change. When the case
was sailed July '"12 the harbor officials
were not aware it had been changed and
did not appear. The following day they
discovered the .case had been dismissed.
Captain ' Spencer waa given a severe
grilling by Attorney Bristol over his
attitude in the hearing, and offered evi
dence to show that he had been before
the authorities several times previously
for violating the harbor laws. It was
also-shown that complaints have been
made by other river men about the con
duct of the steamer Charles R. Spencer.
One of the charges Captain E. W. Spen
cer appeared to make waa that the har
bor officials had not served his sub
poenas. They were tn ' court, however.
The committee held that if Captain
Spencer would not answer the questions,
the matter should be dropped.

GETS COLD FEET
W. L Tooze Changes Mind
About Debating Campaign
Issues With Malarkey.
Will Walter L. Tooze make good his
"challenge" to debate the issues of the
oampaign with Dan Malarkey? His
friends say he will, burtJeorgo josepi
and others, wh'o met with him this
morning and tried to arrange for the
oral battle, fear he will not.
"I want to be treated JUte a gentle
man if I do debate," he said.
"Don't fear," said Attorney Joseph.
'If you say so, we'll have- a squad of
policemen to protect your person."
But. although W. M. Davis and Mr,
Joseph Insisted that he set a date for
the debate and name a place where it
might be held. Tooze pleaded other en
gagements and made excuses. This
comes on top of Tooze' statement that
Malarkey was afraid to meet him in
debate.
"As for Mr. Malarkey's refusal to
meet Mr. Tooze before the campaign
was opened by both sets of candidates,"
said Mr. Joseph, "I can tell the details
of that. I was largely responsible for
his deolslon not to meet anyone In de
bate until after the campaign had been
formally opened. Because Mr. Malarkey
refused to meet him unttl after the
opening of the campaign, Tooze tried to
make political capital out of it He
said Mr. Malarkey did not want to meet
him.
"I know such to be untrue, for I had
much to do with preventing a debate
before the campaign opened. At the
meeting last night Tooae attempted to
Infer that Malarkey was afraid to meet
him in dtbate. After the meeting I
went to Tooze and told him Malarkey
would meet him at any time or place
he would designate. He refused to con
sider it at that time, but I insisted
Some of his advisers said I should call
at the Imperial hotel this morning and
take the matter up with him. W. M.
Davis and I, after waiting more than
an hour, finally found Mr. Tooze. Ma
larkey appeared. He told Tooze he
Would debate upon the Issues of the
campaign at any time or place he Would
name that Is, before September 24, the
date of. the primaries. He told Mr.
Tooze that Mr. Davis and I would make
all necessary arrangements. Then he
departed.
"I insisted that Tooze fix a time and
place. I urged him In every way pos
sible to arrange for the debate, but he
still refused. When I suggested times
and places Toozo made excuses and
pleaded other engagements. From his
conduct I believe, as everyone present
does, that he does not doslre to debate
the Issues of this campaign with Mr.
Malarkey."
Another effort will be made to get
Tooze to set a time and fix a place for
tne donate.

that it will be followed by an investi

that he thinks the men are blameless
of carelessness and that no responsibil

He reports that no satisfactory expla

. i ,
Dairymen who have ' ridiculed ' "th
value of the tuberculin test for flalry '
cows saw a signt at the Portland fair
this morning that changed their Opin
ions and point of view.
The interiors of two cows whose milk
has been sold In Portland until a few
weeks ago were exposed to public view
by Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterinarian,
aided by Dr Pinkerton, government in-
specter, and Dr. Mack, city Inspector.
une oi tne cowa naa lacked vitality
to react to the tuberculin test whnn
applied.. When , killed she' was suffer
ing from a congestive ohlll. Numerous
tuoeroular nodes were discovered in tha
air passages. Her teats bad decayed
until repulsive to look upon.
. Test Had Been Vied.
The second cow killed had been first
subjected to test by a private veteri-
narian. Later she had been given the
government test. : Her ear bore the slg-
nuicani tuberculosis tag. Her eyes,
nose ; and . teats exuded matter. Her
lungs contined thickly clustered tuber-
cular nodes,- as did her liver and other
portions of the vital organs. .. The car.
cass had an evil smell. . .
The cows Slaug htered were not the
best of subjects, said Dr. Lytle during
the demonstration. They were very old.
The second one slaughtered had evident
ly been a confirmed or chronic, case for
years. The state veterinarian said that
