Porll nd, June 9.-Here is g
claim that civil service under the
ntw charter is in fact a politica]
machine. The Journal today says:
The people of Portland have al
read y had opportunity to see the
consequences of entrusting the civil
service to a board of practical poll
ticians. The result has been the
decentralization of the police and
fire departments. That provision
of the new city charter which was
designed to protect the municipal
service from the blight of machiue
politics has been made dead let
ter. The very weapon which the
people formed to use against the
bosses has been wresled by the lat
ter to their own uses.
1t has been patent to the most
casual observer that the civil serv-
ice commission had but one object,
and that was 10 make the fire and
police departments mere adjupcts
of the Matthews machine. The
commissioners have lent themselves
openly and shamelessly to this
scheme.
Chief Hunt announced some time
ago that no one would be permitted
to remain on the police force "un-
less he had voted right"
To vote right means, under the
present regime, to vote for the can
didates of the Jack Matthews ma
chine. Chief Hunts utterance has
borne fruit in the dismissal of po-
ticeman who had the temerity to
predict that within two years the
Mathews ring would be Custed from
power and that the Simon faction
would again come into control. 1t
was an objectionable sin. From
the Mathews machine came an i'm
perious demand that the officer
should be dismissed from the force,
and the demand met with prompt
compliance. The executive board
proved as eager to carry out the will
of the machine as the civil service
COM mission had been.
Nothing could be more farclcal
than the charge of offensive partl-
sanshipo which is the ostensible
ground for this policeman's remov'
Ial. If there was ever an instance
of offensive partisanship, fragrant
interruptions partisanship, it is to
be found in the boards and COM
missions whose only object appears
to be to do the bidding Of a disre.
putable and discredited boss.

to a real zalion of the fact that he

After halting the stage the rob.
hers lined up the pass ngers and

Valises were slashed open and two
express boxes smashed to bits. The
robbers were very abusive during
the entire proceedings, roundly
scoring the driver for not stopping,
and cautioning him not to repeat
the ofense when be was next com.

robbed were either commercial trav-

A leading Venezuelan citizen, who is
now here, in an interview regarding these
military movements in Venezuela, said he
believed these were only precautionary
measures regarding Colombia, which, now
the country is free from revolution, has
reinforced recently it's army on the Ven

as a consequence of the sympathy Presi-

because of the question of navigation on

the northwest, circled over the southern
part of the city at a height of 700 feet
and disappeared in an easterly direction.
Several hundred persons watched it,
many of them with field glasses. Moth
ing is known of it here.
Edgar A. Perkins. president of the State
Federation of Labor, who lives in Irving
ton, suburb Of indianapolis, says he
watched the machine for ten or fifteen
minutes and that it appeared to the eye
to be twenty or thirty feet long; that it
made a half circle over Irvington and
then went east in straight line. He
says he distinctly saw two figures, one of
them a man with a uark hat on, who
sat in the center of the car under a can
opy and was apparently working the ma
chinery.
James Agnew, resident of Irvington,
gives the same Information. Inquiries Of
a dozen towns east of Indianapolis have
failed to find any person who saw the
machine.
Except by those who claim to have
seen the machine the subject has not been
taken seriously
