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 Gaines own mouth.
II asked Gaines il it was true he
had been indicted in Polk county"
Minton said. Gaines replied
"'It's a damned lie. Ira Hamilton,
Sam Burkhart and the 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 Gaines had said that,
while working under Chief Hamilton
he had found it impossible to enforce
the law. A part Of the information
given from Gaines, Alderman Minton
recited as follows:
81 was requested to watch certain
house in this city and l did watch it,,
One night l went up there and found
Chief Hamilton and some of his
friends in that house drinking beer
with women. What could do?'
Could Have Informed.
Answering this, Alderman Minton
said:
"If the chief would not let him en-
force the law, Alderman Jones, then
chairman of the 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 Has he enforced
the law any better? / walked be-
hind Gaines down the street the other
day. | saw five men violate the laws
of Salem. Gaines did nothing"
Alderman Minton produced the let
ter from the Pewther woman. The
writer charged that one night, on ac-
count of poor train accommodations,
which had resulted in an alteration
between herself and the conductor,
the train men had called two burly
men, who forced her to leave the train
in the middle Of the night. She de-
clared that the men refused to show
their stars, or give her other assur-
ance than their mere word that they
were officers, and that otherwise they
had treated her disrespectfully. She
said that when she threatened to take
the affair up with the railroad off
cials the officers seemed frightened,
and, after consultation with the train
men, allowed her to return to Port
land. She afterward learned, she
stated that the name of one Of the Of
flcers was Gaines and the other She
deck. She partly cleared Shedeck by
saying that he had explained to her
that he was off his regular beat, and
that consequently he seemed to be act
ing under the orders of Gaines.

that later he came back and plead

HIS FIRST SIGHT OF BANDS
Crowd Proved to Be Very Human
When Cripple Long Blind Was
Wheeled Up.

All his life he had been lame; near
ly all his life he had been blind. But
always he could hear, and the thing
he liked best TO hear was martial
music by the band. He heard it sell
dom. The Home for Incurables was
on a side street, out or the way Of
bands. The operation that restored
his sight was followed shortly by a
big parade.
AT last" said he, 81 shall see the
fellows that play the band"
The line of march was twenty
blocks away, but to a strong-armed
orderly who was used to wheeling a
reclining chair twenty blocks was
nothing. The policeman on the edge
OF the r was far more formidable.
You can't take that boy in there"
he said. They'd crush the life out
out OF him. We can't do anything
with a crowd like this on parade days.
They're a mob"
But they're very human" said the
orderly. Then he told the story of
the newly opened eyes.
"Oh, WELL" said the policeman.
He stepped back. Others also step
ped back, policemen and members of
the mob" Right up the curb they
went, the boy and the orderly. A few
who had held their places since sun
up grumbled a little, but the eager
look of the boy who had never seen a
uniform conquered and they made
way. Then the bands came, dozens
Of them, and every bandsman seemed
to play his best for the boy in the
chair. 1t was splendid; SO splendid
that the boy and the orderly and the
mob laughed and cried together.
Truly, the mob was very human.
