NO. 5727 PORTLAND NEW SENSATION Decision Which Removes Bruin Affects At Least Half the City's Employes. ALL CONCEDE THE JOKE IS NOT UPON MAYOR LANE. There Is a Great Scurrying for Cover and Hustling to Protect Jobs Greatest Political Opportunity Ever Put Before a Mayor of Portland Relieved Lane Will Reappoint Bru in, (for'30 Days) Giving Him Op IKiitunity to Take Examination for Permanency. The municipal machinery of Port land has ben thrown Into turmoil by the decision of Judge Frazler, remov ing Captain Patrick Bruin, of the city detective force, on the ground that he had not taken the civil service exam ination according to law. At least half of the city employes, some of them among the most capa ble and trustworthy, will be affected by the decision, and there Is now a wholesale hurrying to cover. In order to protect Jobs and secure reappoint ments under proper conditions. The Evening Telegram describes the situation in Portland as follows: Judge Frazer's decision yesterday, declaring the appointment of Patrick Bruin as captain of police illegal in the ouster proceedings brought against the officer by Oskar F. Isak son, has thrown the different city de partments Into a condition bordering on panic. At least half of the employes of the city are affected. Not a department has -escaped, and among the worried ones are many men holding responsi ble positions, and If they are ousted it will be a difficult matter to fill their positions. The fire department, water department, street cleaning and sprinkling deepartment, city engineer ing department, city auditor's depart ment, will all lose a large number of men If the mayor starts out to wield the big snickersnee which the court's ruling put in his. hands. Mayor Lane was reticent when ask ed If he Intended making a wholesala attack on the employes of the city af fected by the ruling of the court. He only smiled and remarked: "Just wait and see. I have not yet secured a list cf names of the em ployes affected." Isaksnn Is Hit, Too. Oskar F. Isakson was also appoint ed illegally, as notice oi his original examination was not posted the re quired time. His appeal on his dis missal from the department for as saulting petty officers of the warships while In the harbor, will come up for hearing tomorrow, but In view of the fact that he brought the ouster pro ceedings, which has precipitated tho present turmoil, he may not be per mitted a hearing. He declared this morning that he was sorry the case had been decided on this point. Mav Retain Bniln. It is anticipated that Bruin will be retained as captain of police. All that would be necessary would be for the police commission to appoint him temporarily to the position because a vacancy exists, and there is no eligi ble list. Then an examination could be called nnd he could take it, and If he succeeded in passing would be on the list for reappointment. Judge Frnzer granted 10 days' time this morning to Captain Bruin In which to apply for a new trial or for a rehearing in his case, but it has not been decided by his attorneys wheth er a new trial will be demanded nor an appeal taken, as they believe the easiest way out of it Is for the mayor to appoint Bruin temporarily for 30 days and In the meantime he can take another examination. "For a mayor who likes Justice and who Is fond of a Joke, this decision of Judge Frazer's Is one of the greatest opportunities that has ever come to a mayor of Portland," said a city of ficial who is a close friend of Mayor Lane, this morning. "Judge Frazer has tnken Captain Bruin from the mnyor, but has plac ed a sharp two-edged sword In his hands to wield as he pleases. No doubt he will do it. nnd the result will be that a large number of the em ploye? of the city will soon find them selves without positions. Rig Short Line Wreck. Fiho. Utah. July 25.
