Chief Burke, Mayor Bollschweiler,
Alderman Shultz and a reporter Sc
cured carriage and drove to State
street and Buckingham avenue
where Shultz was found. When
questioned by the chief in regard to
the whereabouts of man, who the
party was supposed to be looking
for, Shultz answered in clear lone
of voice and was apparently sober.
1t was less than an hour later
when an intoxicated man stopped
Chief Burke on State street and
said: Chief, the wheels of justice
are all tangled up, Shultz is paral-
yzed." The chief thought at the
time that one drunk" could cer-
tainly detect another, and he sent
word to Shultz 10 report at head
quarters.
When the patrolman arrived there
we're no doubts In the minds Of those
who saw him, as to his condition.
An effort was made to reach Mayor
Bollschweiler, but he could not be
found. A1derman-at-Large Voor-
hees and Alderman Cannon were no.
titled and hurried to the police sta
tion. In the presence of Mr.. Voor-
hees and Mr. Cannon, Shultz ver-
bally abused Chief Burke, and re-
fused to 60 home. The chief fin
ally told him that unless he kept
quiet and left the station, he would
be locked up in a cell.
Shultz then decided to leave, af-
ter first asking when he should re-
port for duty. "You will be notified
by the Mayor and Board of. Alder
men," said the chief II have moth
ing further to say in the matter.
The officer wended his way down
High street to Smith street. When
he reached cafe he entered and, all
though in uniform, proceeded to
further satisfy his thirst.
The mayor and Board of Alder
men have unoff1cially given 1t out
that Shultz has had his last chance,
this making the fifth time charges
have been preferred against him. AL
derman Cannon suggested that City
Physician Meinzer be called to cer-
tify that the officer was intoxicated,
but Chief Burke said that 1t was not
necessary in this state.
Mayor Bollschweiler said this
morning that Shultz would be given
the usual five days notice to appear
before the police committee for
hearing.
According to Chief Burke, the
officer further disgraced himself last
night when he became so intoxicated
that he fell in the gutter in front
of a saloon at State and Broad
streets. Someone telephoned to the
police station but, as another officer
was about to be sent there, a second
message was received that Shultz
had taken a trolley car for North
Amboy. There the accused police
man. Chief Burke says, made a tour
of the saloons and finally succumbed
in one, where, according to the chief,
he spent the night In the back room:
Alderman Garland, chairman OF
the police committee, said this after
noon that the matter would not be
brought up at the committee meet
ing tomorrow night, although CHIEF
Burke's charges against Shultz VIII
be made to the council Monday
night.
It has also been learned, that TO
avoid further disgracing the ofilcer,
he will be allowed to resign. Alder
man Garland says that he is not
anxious to break him.

The Moon and Noun. Hood.

Speaking OF recent moon effect ON
Mount Hood, the Portland Oregoniau
says:
Perching itself for few moments
on the very top OF Mount Hood. the
big new moon illumined that majestic
peak at II O'Clock last night so clearly
that its mantle OF glistening white.
toned to a soft yellow hue, could be
distinguished plainly from Portland
and vicinity. Never before, says old
time Oregonians. has the moon been
observed to scale the summit so fairly
and with such perfect balance as last
night. The big yellow disk apparently
could not have been more accurately
adjusted to the top OF the mountain.
And as 1t passed on upward the ton of
the mellow circle buried itself In a big
Diack cloud, so that no great stretch OF
the imagination was required to fill
In the picture OF an eruption from the
peaceful old mountain. From an ar
tistic standpoint the spectacle was one

those who saw it may regard them
selves as having been peculiarly fortu-
nate. Every year the moon paws a
visit to the big peak, but possibly not
once In centuries would 1t climb to the
precise central point on the summit
