PLAN FOR FZREIMEN AND
POLICE PROTECTIVE FUND

Another proposition to raise a
sick benefit fund for policemen and
firemen will probably be submitted
to the council In the near future.
The scheme which has been adopt
ed In other cities and which Is ia
vored here, is to charge insurance
companies mills ON their pre-
NUNS on city insurance. This
money will be placed in a general
sick benefit fund. At present the
firemen have fund but 1t Is hard
ly adequate for the needs Of the
department whose members fall i'll
as a rule from injuries or suffoca-
ton at fires.
Policemen play an important
part in guarding against fires, as
about half of the alarms are turn
ed in by them. For this reason, 1t
is held they should reap some
benefit from the proposed fund. In
all probability insurance men will
make little effort to Illustrate the
endeavor to establish such fund.
The cost to them would be little
compared with the benefits they
derive on account of the prompt
attention and efficiency of the fire.

CHAMBER AIN SHOWS UP
FULTON'S BRlBE RECORD

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 30.-Today
Gov. Chamberlain issued a state
ment in relation to his part in the
Heney-Fulton controversy regard
ing the statements of ]. s. Smith
that Fulton had attempted to bride
him to vote for Mitchell in the
senatorial fight of 1897.
Chamberlain said Fulton called
to protest~against the appointment
of Smith as warden at the state
prison.
ITO my surprise Fulton did not
attack Smith on the ground of in
competency, but abused him on the
ground of unfitness because he had
made a corrupt bargain with
Mitchell to go into the legislature
and break the deadlock, and then
failed to keep this agreement. Full
ton mentioned no specified sum of
money, but said over and over
again, He took the old mans
money and did not keep his agree
ment.'"

KNIGHT WON'T
SUE COUNCIL

Seymour H. Knight, the bridge
expert who has been superintend-
ing the construction of the Wash
ington st. concrete bridge, offered
his resignation to the board of pub
lie works today. 1t takes effect to-
morrow. There was talk around
the city hall yesterday that the
board of wo@Ks would refuse to
heed the councils desires that
Knight be deposed, but Commits
sioner ]. T. O'Brien said today that
the resignation would be accepted.
On Feb. 1 the work will be con-
tinued under the superintendent
of j. G. Ralston, the engineer APP
pointed to succeed Charles McIn-
tyre and also to- take over the
work which Knight started.
Knights formal resignation at
this time precludes possibility of
a damage suit which tt was yes
terday suggested he would bring
against the city on account of his
summary removal for alleged in
competency, which the councils
action Tuesday night as much as
said was the cause.

Owing to the small police force,
1t is impossible to establish a sick
fund for members. At present each
OF the so members pays % cents
a month which grants to the widow
or offspring OF a deceased police
man a fund of 5000. Were the po-
lice to establish by subscription a
fund for their sick members, II
would take about 81 per month OF
each mans wages. During the past
two months Detective McDermott
and Thompson and Briley and Pa.
trolmen Downey and Dial have
been confined to their beds with
sickness contracted while on duty.
Downey nearly died with pneu-
monia. Dial is now in bed with
pneumonia. Briley had an opera
tion for appendicitis. Each OF
those officers ran up a large doc
tor bill. All are old members OF
the department and each has seen
service of personal danger. Yet
they are compelled to foot their
own bills for sickness contracted
while on duty; sicknesses directly
thargeable, 1t Is claimed, to bad
weather in wnich the men were
compelled to work.

WILL BARNFzART MAKE
GOOD ON LID ORDER?

dependent on Sunday business are
included in the closing order. None
of the proprietors were certain to-
day just what they would do, but
a number said they would prob
ably obey the mandate.
The telegraph and telephone
companies had received no no
| tice yet, and officials Of both de-
| clared they would not close until
| compelled to.
The Elgin creamery was inform
ed this morning that no milk could
be sold over the counter on Sun
day, although deliveries would not
| be interferred with.
1t is not believed that the law
will be applied to streetcars and
other public utilities, as they are
not places of business. Tie al.
legged reason for the tight Sunday
order is the objection made by
Hillyard business men, who were
closed up the county order.
In this city 1t is attributed to
Barnhart's political disappoint-
ment and desire to win the sup
| port of the stricter element. While
not discussing the matter for pub
LEGATION, city officials generally con-
| denim the movement.
There is chance that the prose-
cutor is giving the saloon men a
boost by making the law SO rigor-
GUS that the Sunday lid agitation
will suddenly subside.

insane had not been sustained. He
then explained different verdicts

TO OPEN PUBLIC
NIGHT SCHOOL
BOARD DECIDES TO GIVE BOYS
WHO HAVE TO WORK THE
CHANCE TO ACQUIRE FREE
EDUCATION.

The board of education last night
adopted Supt. Tormey's plan to es-
tablish public night school for
minors who are compelled to re-
main out of day school to work for
a living.
The Franklin school on Main av.
will be used, and the school will
be opened on Feb. 10, to be con-
Quoted five nights of each week.
A meeting will be held at the
school Friday night to enroll pupils
and all those willing to benefit by
the course are urged to be pres
ent. The course begins at the
third grade and includes the
branches of common school educa-
ton.
John Greasy, truant officer, is
one of the ardent advocates Of the
public night school, as he is con.
stantly in contact with the boys
who have to work and understands
their deprivation of opportunity for
education. He has granted about
so permits to remain out of school
through necessity, and If half of
this number take advantage of the
night school it's success will be as
sured from the start. The institu-
ton is designed solely for those
who would otherwise miss a
chance for schooling. and means a
great deal to the boy who is
anxious to acquire education in
spite Of unfavorable circumstances.
One extra teacher will be re-
quired for the night school at the
start, and the board is willing to
make provision for the needs Of the
institution should additional help
be found necessary.
