Pimw roar PAHT CAPITAL IOCBKAL, SALEM, OBIGOH, TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1918. Council Meeting a Warm One Incensed at what he believed was the determination of Alderman Rig don to force Wilbur Gaines upon the police committee of the city council, as a member of the city patrol force, Alderman E. C. Minton, chairman of the committee, arose in a rage, at the council meeting last night, and ex changed acrid repartee with the oppos ing members, and hurled chargo after charge of misconduct at the head of the questioning officer. The meeting was the warmest In the history of the Salem city council. The debate over the propriety of making Gaines a member of the force lasted a full hour, and resulted in a victory for the committee by the voting down of the officer, and, incidentally, the defeat of Chief Shedeck, who had In cluded Gaines' name In a list of rec ommendations made to the committee. The men elected to serve on the force during the coming year, In ad dition to Al. Foland and Frank Flake, who were elected a week ago, were W. J. White, Jack Welch, R. Woolery and B. Irwin. F. W. Helser, who was considered a strong candidate, failed to be elected, notwithstanding a let ter was read giving Helsor the recom mendations of Rev. D. Errett, pastor of the First Christian church; Dr. R, E. I Stelner, superintendent of the stnto hospital; County Judge Tlushey, and Tom R. Wilson, hookeeper at the state penitentiary. The other randldtites for places on the force were W. W. Gaines, R T. Turner, F. A. Mlnzon meler, Taylor Smith, F. FJ. Brook, J. N. Olmsted and C. N. Matlock. Mat lock, Olmsted and Helser were recom mended for election by the committee. Sensational Letters Itond. In submitting his argument. against Gaines, Aldcrmnn Million rend sensa tional letters from Esther L. rewthor er, and from the Justice of tho peace at Independence The report of the commltteee, which Included recommendation for the elec tion of Olmsted and Matlock, wns re jected. Alderman Rlgdon at this Junc ture placed In nomination tho names of 10 men who had been submitted by Chief Shedeck, explaining that it would be the duty of each councilman to vote for four. Rlgdon said thnt tho chief had undergono a considerable change of mind slnco the preceding meeting, and thnt. It was his opinion that Shedeck now wished to work In completo harmonjT with the council. When the nominations were made Alderman Jones, a member of tho po lice commission, grew crimson with rage. "Thats a dodge," ho cried. "I move thnt we vote on earh name, and vote by roll call." Minton contended for an nyo and no vote, but this wns ultimately over ruled for the double reason that, the charter provides for a ballot vote, and that for each councilman to voto on four names by an aye and no vote wns a proceedure entirely too cumbersome. Minton Makes Remarks. "Is It In order to make remarks?" asked Alderman Minton. "It Is," answered the mayor. "Well, I want to make some re marks," said tho alderman ominously. "I suggest thnt. It Is not proper to make remarks about any ono, except those In nomination," Rlgdon. Inter posed. "Those are the ones I want to make remarks about," retorted Minton still morn ominously. "I wnnt to glvo this council the In formation," Btormed Minton, "that hereafter I am going to reduce all mo tion that I make to writing, and I nm going to see further that they nre en tered on the minutes, ns I muko them, I went to tho city recorder's office this afternoon nnd found thnt my motion regarding the submitting of n now llHt of names by tho chief of imiIIok Ih not on the minutes ns I miido It.

Instead he Bent lists to all the other members of tho council first, and sent lists to members of the committee only today." Minton Brings Charges. Speaking of the charges against Gaines, Alderman Minton said that some were matters of record, others were from letters, while others were from Galne's own mouth, "I asked Calnes if it was true he had been Indicted In Polk county," Minton said. Gaines replied: " 'It's a damned lto. Ira Hamilton, Sam Burkhart and tho Salem saloons don't want me on the force, and they are bringing these charges to keep me off.' " Minton then said that In further conversation Calnes had said that, while working under Chief Hamilton he hod found it impossible to enforce the law. A part of the Information given from Gaines, Alderman Minton recited as follows; "I was requested to watch a certain house in this city, and I did watch It. One night I went up there and found Chief Hamilton and some of his friends in that house drinking boor with women. What could I do?" ' Could Have Informed. Answering this, Alderman Minton said ; "If tho chief would not lot him en force the law, Alderman Jones, then chairman of tho police committee, would have allowed him to enforce the law. This council would have allowed him to enforce It If he had given the Information. Besides, for about three weeks now Hamilton has had no strings on Gaines, Tins ho enforced the lnw any better? I walked be hind (lalnes down tho street the other day, I saw flvo men violate tho laws of Salem. Gaines did nothing." Aldcrmnn Minton produced tho let ter from the Pewther woman. The writer charged that one night, on ac count of poor train accommodations, which hnd resulted in an altercation between herself and the conductor, tho train men hnd called two burly men, who forced her to leave the train In tho middle of the night. She de clared that the men refused to show their stars, or give her other assur ance thnn tholr mere word that they wore offlcors, and thnt otherwise they had treated her disrespectfully. She said that when sho threatened to take the affair up with the railroad offi cials tho officers seemed frightened, and, after consultation with the train men, allowed her to return to Port land. She afterward learned, Bhe stated, thnt the name of one of the of ficers was Gaines and the other Sho- dock. She partly cleared Shedeck by saying thnt he hod explained to her that he was off his regular beat, nnd that consequently ho soemed to be act ing under tho orders of Gaines. Ho Ran I'ool Room. Minton read another communication from tho Justice of tho peaco at Inde pendence, stating that Gaines hnd held a pool room license there, nnd had violated tho law. Tho letter further stated that a warrant for Galne's nr rest had been sworn out at that place, that to CBcnpo arrest. Gaines had gone to Salem with a livery team, nnd that SOKE, NY.OU.EN JOINTS AND MI'S AND IILADDKR DISORDERS ES ARE TAKEN. so they can filter the blood and keep you woll.

The letter alleged that later he came back and plead guilty, but asked to have the facts suppressed. The official told blm that the facts were on public records, but since they were not often examined, It was not probable that they would be found out. The letter further cast re flections upon the reputation of form er Patrolman Whltlatch, but asked what could be expected In view of the escapade of the former mayor In the Hotel Marion bar It had become a Joko, the letter said, that when a man's reputation got so bod he could not Btay at Independence, he went to Salem and got a Job 'on the police force. Minton Is Relinked. Alderman Rlgdon severely rebuked Alderman Minton for stating that the letter from the Pewther woman was a matter of record. Before the reading of the letter Rlgdon had asked if It was a matetr of record. Minton, evi dently misunderstanding the question, said that it was. "We are being Imposed upon by un truthfulness," declared Rlgdon. Al derman Cummlngs took Rlgdon to task for quibbling over small things, and succeeded in healing the breuch. The vote was then taken.

Henri Bournssn, one of Sir Wilfred Lnu- rlor's chief lieutenants, prophe sied here today that absolute free dom of Canada will be the result of the present relations between the Dominion and England, which, he said, were similar to those existing be tween Great Britain and the United States In 1775. "Tho greatest ques tion in Canada today," said Bourassa, In an Interview here, "Ib that of con tributions to the English navy. Cana da is a transcontinental country, and so long an we are not represented In tho affairs of the empire we should bo under no obligation to that em pire.

"With no representation abroad, we should no more contribute thnn did the 13 colonics, which now are the heart of tho United States. "Canada needs no navy, and sho noeds no coast protection, especially nt the mouth of tho St. Idiwrence river We do not desire to secede from Eng land, but we would rather undergo the national development of Independ ence under the nationalist idea than to havo conBtnnt friction, disagree ments and distrusts under Imperlnl Ism.
