mony Dut MT. lnman explained tnat
the charge was failure to do duty
and neglect of duty, and that there
had been evidence submitted that
showed the duty of policemen to be
patrolling the street while at work.
Kibele said that in May or June
he had seen Longcor in room 80 of
the Salem Lodging house about 9
O'Clock in the evening.
Qestion-"Was there a woman in
the room with him?"
Answer-"Bet your boots there
was"
The witness then stated that on
another occasion he saw Longcor go
into room 40, and that he met
woman in there.
On the first occasion Kibele said
he had laid for Longcor, saw him go
into the room and looked through
hole in the door and saw what was
going on inside the room.
Kibele said he saw and heard
Longcor rent room 80 from Plum
mer, manager of the house. He,
Kibele, had accompanied the woman
up the street from Mrs. Ferguson's
restaurant and she had told him she
wanted to see Longcor, and then he
saw the renting of the room and
afterwards watched the pair.
Kibele said that he formerly was
good friends with Longcor but that
Longcor had made him "sore" be-
cause he had injured the reputation
of the Salem Lodging house by hav-
ing falsehoods about it printed.
Kibele went on to explain that the
morning after July 4th, Longcor had
printed in the Statesman that he had
removed two certain girls from the
Salem Lodging house and saved
them for a terrible fate. when as
matter of fact it was lie. that the
girls were. not taken from the house,
but were so badly terrified by Long
cor that they stayed in room with
four other people all night and until
train next day, afraid to go on the
street. Longcor, he said, had threat
ened to put them in jail.
Sam Plummer, manager of the
Salem Lodging house, was the next
witness. He corroborated what Kib-
ele testified to In regard to Longcor
renting the rooms on two occasions.
He said that Longcor asked for the
room in the presence of Kibele and
the woman. Plummer admitted that
he had Ill feelings toward Longcor
because he had injured the reputa-
tion OF his house by publishing
falsehoods in the Statesman about it.
darcy asked II the Salem Lodging
house did not have a bad reputation
and the witness said that its reputa-
tion was as good as that of the other
hotels In Salem. He gave as his au-
thority, Policeman Longcor. who had
told him that the Salem Lodging
house was as good as the more
stylish hotels in this respect.
He admitted that he never asked
any questions of his dodgers. He
said II was none of his business.
He said that prior to the renting
episode that Longcor had hung
around his place OF evenings between
10 and IL O'Clock.
At this point of the proceedings
Mr.. Inman again tried to have some
afidavits read and placed on the
records but the committee declined
TO receive them. II was shown by
afidavits that an effort had been
made to have all the witnesses ap-
pear and that all OF them had been
notified.

lengthy speech, and objected to the
consideration of any affldavits.
Louis Kibele asked permission to
make a few remarks, but at Mr.. In
mans request, remained silent.
Claud Johnson was called, but he
did not respond.
Mrs. Jennie Headrick was then
called, but she was not present.
Inman said he had two other affi-
davits, but it was not expedient to
submit them at this time. Mr.. Bayne
tried to ascertain what Mr.. Inman
had up his sleeve. but it was of no
avail.
Then came the Darcy and Kibele
episode, during which Longcor drew
a chair on Kibele, and the latter
called Darcy a thief. Mr.. Darcy
also made remark.
When the excitement created by
this incident subsidized, Alderman
Acheson was called to the stand.
He testified that Longcor tried to
blackmail and intimidate him in or
der to prevent him doing his duty as
an alderman. He said that one time
he was coming away from the other
members of the committee of the
council on health and police. of
which he was a member, and at State
and Liberty streets was approached
by Longcor, who made this threat:
"The best thing you and Claire
Baker can do is to drop this, or | will
have you both into it," Mr.. Acheson
said that Longcor said that he had
been to Portland. and had brought
back Fanny Davenport, and that he
would prove things by her to blacken
the regulations of both members of
the committee, If they did not drop
the charges that they were at that
time considering against Longcor.
After Mr.. Acheson left the stand,
the investigation was continued until
this evening at 1880 o'clock.
Tale of Affidavits.
This is a story OF two affidavits.
When the scandal In the police de-
partment first began TO brew, wo-
man named Roth. referred to last
night at the investigation, is said to
have made an affidavit regarding
some of the alleged misdeeds OF Po-
licemap Longcor. II is said that the
woman then went away, and later re-
turned and made another affidayit,
opposing the state
ments of the first. 1t is talked on
the streets that she was told IL she
did not swear that her first state
ment was false. that both the Roth
woman and Longcor would be sent
to prison. In other words, 1t is said
that the threat OF Imprisonment was
made to force her to make herself n
perjurer.
The second afhdavit was written
In Mrs. Ferguson's restaurant, but
1t was made voluntarily or
not is unknown.

SWIMMER BURLINGTON 4 PRO.

Man Who Defeated Kielnan in Mile
 Championship Set Down by A. $. A.
 David Ellington, the greatest swim mer in the world after the death Of B. Kiernan, the Australian, has been declared a professional by the Ama- teur Swimming association and Eng lishmen deplore his loss to the anna teur ranks, BiIlington's offence was participation in a swim in Paris that was organized by L'Auto, a French paper of a go-ahead policy. The Eng lishmen stated that he thought he was competing against amateurs but an investigation revealed story of to- tally different color and the Bacup crack has lost his amateur status for good and all.
 Last year when Kieran visited Eng land. Ellington was the only man to give the Australian tussle and the meeting of the pair will never be for gotten. In the Life Saving society's gala at Highgate the pair met for the. first time in the mile championship for the kings prize. Sixty-two thous' and persons saw the swim.
 HOlIlS OH dL great pdce hieidi took the lead at the start but at thd half mile Ellington drew level and turned with a slight lead, tl.e time be- ing F minutes and : 3-5 seconds. From that point to the finish Billing ton went steadily away and won in 24 minutes and IF 3-5 seconds, new English record. '.
 The next meeting was for the long distance championship, miles and co yards on the Thames. and Ellington won again, only five yards separating the pair. That ended Billington's sue cess over Keran. for afterward when ever they met. the Australian was al- ways first home.
 The loss of Ellington leaves Eng land without real first rater to de- fend her acquatic honor. Jarvis has retired and Derbyshire is getting old. There is promising youngster in Taylor of Chatterdon and Forsyth is an exploded phenom. Next season if q sprinter like Healy. the Australian, or Daniels of the New York A. C. should visit England they would un- doubtedly find the champions at their mercy.

One of the novelties in high-class lingerie waists is the use of color. The ground may be white, but the em broidery will be in pale blue, or green, Ilayhap lavender; and there may be i1edalli0ns in color, these made Of tucked batiste and attached to the waist with lace insert.
 Another new thing in the dressy house is embroidered net, this prom ising to be much more affected the ap- preaching season. And dyed laces, we repeat, are to be more and more used Ter the waist of the three-piece suit. Crepe de chine, a material that seems to fill long-felt want, will be used very considerably for suit waist, light fabrics given the preference. One is able to get crepe de chine now in such a variety of tones, it is no difficult matter to find match.
 Perhaps many of our readers won der,i blouse" and waist" are used interchangeably. Yes, and no. Pop ularly they are; dressmakers that dis criminate look upon the waist as a more simple affair, the old shirt-waist type; and upon the blouse as dressier, the lingerie waist perhaps the best type of this. Wherefore We go on to speak of the new tailor-made waists of linen, and to remark they are to be extensively worn. There. are shown a Mw fnodsls3 iliP db,fdes and pfnkss, but most of US are bit afraid to adopt colors, white having reigned supreme so long. In ginghams and Madras weaves one can find very attractive materials, and need not feel that linen is the only thing for the shirt waist. This being the time of year one be- gins to have the dressmaker come to make up shirt-waist and shirt-waist suit, we make mention of the excellent

Some Big Oysters.

The usual size of the shell of an oys- ter is three to five inches. but away back in Tertiary times there were oysters in California that had shells 1S inches long. and seven or eight inches wide. The animal and shell doubtless weighed IS or 20 pounds. since the shells were five inches thick. These oysters have long been extinct. but their fossil shells are abundant. If the oyster farmer could produce in. dividuals of such enormous size now. and the flavor were good in proportion to its size. we would be most fortu- nate. In that case single oyster would be enough for one stew at the church festiyal!-St. Nicholas.

crashes and percales. The new suits have the waist outside the skirt, and no belt is used; the tendency not to outline the waist, but to give prin- cess effect.
 The short sleeve still obtains. and will for some time to come, in the lingerie styles. We saw waist the other day which we voted most clever. It was a simple little cream colored China silk, the sleeve had a largish puff from shoulder to elbow, and the lower part was fitted by means of shirrs at inner and outer seam, this lower part loose enough that it could be pushed up above the elbow and not spoil the effect at all; the wearer might have elbow or long sleeve, just as she liked.
 To return to the lingerie blouse. The two models accompanying this sketch have been very good style this winter. The one is made of all-over lace, with a little chemisette of finest batiste finely tucked. The knot of rib bon at the breast gives the touch of color desired, the silk underslip is colorless. The other design is more elaborate and perhaps not quite so good. And speaking of simplicity re- minds us that there are displayed some beautiful blouses Of sheer silk, these as a rule made with little elaboration. The, many cheap limitations of elab5, orately trimmed high-class lingerie waists. has led to a change in the di- rection Of more simplicity. And it is to be hoped the cheap models will imi- tate this style. We have all grown weary of multitudes of inset medal lions, yards and yards of insertion, frills and furhelows galore. The pres ent feature is that special attention is paid to material, less to complex trimming.

WITNESSED BULL FIGHT.
Delegates to Moroccan Conference
 Were Invited Guests.

Algeciras, Feb 9.-The brilliant. though bloody. spectacle of a bull fight in honor of the conference on Moroc- can reforms was the even of last Sun day. Crowds came from all parts of Andalusia to the vast stone amphl- theater where the bull ring is, and more than G,000 persons saw the fight. \ box gayly decorated with the Span ish colors accommodated the ambassa- dors and officials of many countries. Most of the delegations to the confer ence were represented. and many of the envoys were accompanied by their wives and daughters.
 Three celebrated bull fighters fur nished the sport and the bulls were from the famous herd of Don Moreno Santa Maria of Seville.
 The plcadors were often unhOrsed, hut none of them was seriously hurt. The skill of the matadors was shown as they plrouetted before the below ing animals. which were stung to mad ness by the darts with their gay streamers stuck into them. The for eigners present witnessed the scene with mingled admiration at the au- ,Iaclty of the matadors and horror at it's cruelty.
