Sellvyood Fire ; Captain's Case
. Taken Under Advisement '
, . for Two Weeks. '
Captain George V. Stokes of the Sell
wood fir station has licen found guilty
by a special' Investigating board of the
departmental officers of numerous in
fractions of the rules of the fire department-
The report of this board was
submitted to the fire committee of 'toe
city executive board yesterday after
noon and; after being read was taken
under advisement for two weeks.. Cap
tain Btokes Is subject to a heavy pen-
, alty; he may be dismissed, if , the fire
committee sees fit. 'i The report of the
investigating board was submitted. with-
. out recommendation so that the commit
tee can take any action It desires."
Among the statements ef witnesses
summoned by i the Investigating board
was one that Captain Stokes gave away
sawdust belonging to the . city. This
was admitted by the fir's captain, but
he said toe gave the sawdust to a 'meat
market, the delivery f wagon ' of which
had been pressed Into service to haul
: the sawdust to the tire- station. ft-i -',
Another charge was that the head ef
the Sellwood station had frequently sat
up late at nights playing cards with 013
cronies and keeping his men awgke.
- That Captain Stokes was frequently
late for duty, that-he often went home
during hours when he was, supposed to
be on duty, that he used the firemen to
. help move urnlture from his house,
that he used disrespectful language. In
speaking of superior officers, that he
permitted the steam in his fire engine
to die down and. thus Impaired its effi
ciency, and many other more or less
serious infringements of the regulations
were debited against Stokes In the testi
mony taken by the investigating board.
In response to the Insistent- cry of
' Boss City Park residents for" flre pro
' tection, members of the fire committee
and Fire Chief Campbell will visit a pro
. posed engine house site' at Bast -Fifty-seventh
street and Sandy road. " An ef
. fort will be made to provide a chemical
engine with the $3000 - appropriation
made by the council for Rose City Park
early in the year. This sum Is only one
, fifth of the amount necessary to pro
Tide adequate fire protection, however.

Railroad Commission Believes
Interlocking Devices Should "
; Be Installed. .
; - (Salem JJurtia of The Journal.) " '
- Salem; Or., March 24.--Fof the reason
that railroad corporations have gone
ahead and proceeded 'In-' nearly every
case to cross another right of way with
out consulting- firstwltn the Oregon
railroad -commission , as provided by
law,, the railroad, commission has an
nounced that It will be Us policy here
after; tO: demand that a positive Inter-'
locking , device VbeV Installed " by both
roads , In every case, where the" crossing
Hi made at grade,') This, policy was
announced in the conclusions reached
as to the safety. of the crossings of the
Oregon Electric and . the; Ayillsburg cut
off of ; the . SoMthern: Pacific company
at Oreenburg and ' the : Oregon Electric
and the west side divlslqn of the South
ern: Pacific at Beaverton,' recently In
vestigated by the commission. ,
Railroad Commissioner Frank J. Mil
ler said In response to the matters in
cluded In this Investigation: .
"I am Absolutely Opposed to any right
of way of one train over another cross,
ing without an interlocking device and
It seems to me that trains ought to be
brought to a full stop at such crossings.
I consider jthem quite dangerous, and
1 consider that the safe operation of
these crossings would require that no
train be given m right of way and, that
alt trains should be brought to a full
stop." ; 4 .,,:
2 Regarding the crossings at Oreenburg
and Beaverton, Mr. Miller said:
;"I have Inspected both of these cross
ings, and believe as a consequence that
one of the - material things for this
commission to provide Is the maximum
of safety. I believe, too that it Is the
abnormal and the unusual condition that
we must provide against the normal
conditions will protect themselves under
ordinary conditions. The operation of
the crossing .at Beaverton '.might be
safe, but without a positive stop brde
for both trains I do not consider that
It would be at all safe in any event for
the abnormal and the unexpected, and
the necessity for a maximum of safety
at a grade crossing where , so many
trains are operating In my Judgment
absolutely calls for a positive interlock
ing device and-that is what my Judgment
would dictate should be Installed by
boh roads. It is not because I , have
any prejudices In the premises, what
ever, but simply bcause.from my past
