BEEMAN DISMISSAL
REGRETTED BY MANY
Thorough Investigation of the
Entire Case Is Urged in
Letters Just Received,
The dismissal of Ira T. Reeman,
chief quarantine officer of the health
bureau, hns resulted in many letters
being received by Commissioners Ba
ker Bigelow and Paly from promi
nent Portlanders urging a thorough in
vestlgatlon of the entire case and
that steps be taken to reinstate Bee-
man.
The letters are from physicians, hu
lncss men and school principals who
without exception state that it is be
lieved the administration is making a
serious mistake in not retaining Bee
man.
Dr. E. A. Sommer in a letter to the
commissioners says:
"Beeman has been the general util
Ity man in the health bureau and has
in that capacity been UMcd many times
as an expert diagno,stitian in conta
gious diseases. During all this tlmo
hehas done the work of a profession
al man and received the salary of aji
ordinary clerk.
Many Compliments Paid.
"Since there are no charges against
his ability why should it not be fair
to the taxpayers to kfp a man in that
position who Is capable of doing that
work on the salary of a clerk?"
S. M. Luders, secretary of the Irwin-
Hodson company writes:
"Within the last month my family
has been quarantined for diphtheria
and Beeman had charge of the case.
w e louna mm most errieient, pains
taking and hard working. In mak'ng
his daily rounds he has called at my
home as late as 8;30 o'clock in the
evening.
"I do not know Jiim personally and
never heard of him until this conta
gious disease came into my family. It
seems a shame to discharge a comp
tent otricial who appears at all times
to try to do his duty."
Another writes: "As a very receht
'quarantine victim" I certainly want
to say a good word for t he courteous,
polite and efficient treatment which
my family and self received from the
quarantine officer, and to say further
that I hope that the action of dismiss
inK him will be reconsidered."
Frank A. Heitkemper, of the Jewelry
iirm or u. Heitkemper company, says
Knows Hit Basinets.
I cannot understand, when it Is so
generally known that Dr. Beeman 1;
so thoroughly competent, why his ser
vlcs should be dispensed with. It is
a shame.
"When my son was ill with diph
theria lr. Beeman took charge of tho
case. H lasted for several weeks and
both myself and my wife, who were
on duty day and night with the sick
boy, often talked over In appreciation,
the skillful services and knowledge of
Dr. Beeman. He certainly knew his
business."
Plans for the investigation of the
entire affair are now being made and
ft very active part is to be taken by
Commissioner Baker as well as by
Commissioners Daly and Bigelow.
Commissioner Baker said that he ex
pected to devote several hours to the
case tomorrow, contending a mistake
has been made in Beeman's case.

PROM NENT
CITIZENS
HIGH TRIBUTE IS PAID
TO TWO METHODISTS
BY TAYLOR STREETERS
"Locked Out" Congregation
Holds Memorial in Honor
Bishop Moore, Mrs. Gibbs,
Last Sunday the out of door services
In front of the Taylor Street Methodist
church, was a memorial for two lately
deceased and greatly beloved by the
worshipers. Bishop David H. Moore
and Mrs. Margaret Gibbs. widow of
the late Governor Addison C. Gibbs,
and a member of the old church for
56 years.
The latter's death was not -unex
pected. But the bishop's came as a
shock to his Taylor Street church
friends, who had enjoyed a happy day
with him only a week before as l.e
passed through Portland. One hun
dred and thirty of his old frtends had
entertained him at luncheon at the
Commercial club.
The first tribute to Bishop Moore
was paid by Robert Hughes, editor of
the Pacific Christian Advocate. He
said, in part:
Advocate Editor Speaks.
"Would that I could say something
tliat you do not already know of this
sparkling spirit.
"If I was to attempt characteriza
tion of him 1 think 1 would do so under
four heads: As a pastor, an educator,
an editor and a bishop.
"As a pastor, it was not his pulpit
admlnJetration that ehiafly disting
uished him, but rather his strong per
sonality, his force as a man and as a
shepherd. As an educator, he made
few mistakes, although his indiclslve
ness sometimes led him into trouble.
But who could extricate himself with
better grace than David H. Moore?
His students loved him, tind no higher
compliment could be paid.
Was Brilliant Editor.
"As a editor, he was alert, epigram
matic, brilliant and remarkably re
sourceful. The old Western Christian
Advocate fairly sparkled under his edi
torship. As a bishop, he was felicit
ous. Impulsive, but nearly always right.
a good administrator, with plenty or
courage to execute. If necessity or
conviction demanded.
"Bishop Moore was distinctly an
optimist. There wajj no note of res-
slmisui in hia nature. He believed
with the prophet. 'The Joy of the Lord
la Your Strength."
"The care of an Invalid wife, while
he lived here in Portland, made the
bishop tender. Though chivalrlc by
nature, he became more so, by constant
courtliness.
"The grip of years fastened upon
him with velvet tlireud. He grew old
beautifully. His fine character illum
ined his noble face. God's twilight
cast a rich, mellow glow about him.
"And now he is gone.
Dead? No, not dead."
Rut born arrain.
He is still ours.
And clings- more closely to us.
"Ask that on uj too his blessings
shed
"With flowers eternal from his home
abv e."
Another Tribute Given.
Samuel Connell, from his own in
timate acquaintance, added to this trib
ute to this gallant Christian soldier,
the most beloved overseer. He spoke
feelingly.
He also joined Robert S. Farrell In
giving affectionate reminiscences of
Mrs. Gibbs. as the kindest friends of
their childhood, who welcomed them
daily Into her hospitable home and
made it a house of delight to them
and who also, as their beloved .teacher
welcomed them and the others who
'grew up" in the old Taylor Street
church and showed them the way to
heaven.
Mrs. Gibbs was the first lady of
the commonwealth during J.he guber
natorial term of her husband, Addison
C. Gibbs. But she was among the very-
first in her devotion to the Christian
religion and to the Taylor Street
church, for more than half a century
She was truly an "elect lady."
She was one of the last few remain
ing links that have bound the past and
the present of Methodism and of Port
land, so she was sincerely mourned at
the old church corner by those who
have lod the rast and have revered
the links.
There were nearly a hundred per
rons who gathered on the pavement in
the cold and the damp for the me
morial services anj listened and sang
tinder the spell of old memories.
