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

tlon was that the chief of police sub
mit for the committee's consideration
a new list of names. lie promised he
would, and that he would send us the
Hats this week. 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

the next heard of him he was on the
Salem police force. 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.

Bournssn, one of Sir Wilfred Lnu-

sied here today that absolute free

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. "This Is the same troublo as that
of your original 13 colonies taxation
without representation. Canada's an-
tl-linpcrlnllsts nnd many oilier class
es have turned against Premlor Bor-
don becauso of the dissatisfaction he
hns created by advocating a $35,000,-
000 appropriation for British war
ships.
"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
