THE MORNING OEEGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1906. 10 I CLEAN OIL FILTH Foul Discharge Into River Is to Be Removed and Nui sance Stopped. BIG RELIEF TO SHIPPING C. F. Adams and J. ". Teal Promts Reform to Koessler and Bris tol, for Government Fire Menace Will Remain. Oil and tar sediment in the -harbor at the foot of Iverett street will be cleaned up by the Portland Gas Com pany, which deposited it there. This the gas company is required to do by Lieutenant-Colonel S. W. Koessler. in charge of this river and harbor district, and District Attorney Bristol, under the power conferred on the Govern ment for regulation and protection of rivers and harbors, and for prosecution of persons or corporationns that de posit in navigable wa'er any substance that interferes with navigation. The clean-up was promised yester day by C. F. Adams, president of the gas company, and J. N. Teal, attorney, who received a hearing from Colonel Roessler in the Utters office in the Cuftom-House building. District At torney Bristol represented the Govern ment. The piles of the gas wharf and of wharves up and down the river from the gas plant are heavily coated with oil and tar. and are dangerously in flammable The United States Engi neers have no authority to compel abatement of this danger, and author ity so to do lies with the city author ities. The danger is recognized by the in surance underwriters, who have im posed an extra premium, ranging from 15 to 25 per cent, on property fronting the river for nearly a mile. The harbor line extension, sought by the gas company at that part of the harbor, was only incidentally considered. The two questions, though related, will be treated separately, for until the com pany can secure the extension, which seems unlikely of accomplishment, it is infringing on the law by depositing within the harbor area the refuse oil and tar of Its plant The company has been casting its waste oil and tar into the river for many years, until a sediment several feet thick has collected on the bottom, shoaling the harbor and exuding foul ooze, which is a great annoyance to boats and vessels. At the present time it is said that there Is only 12 feet of water in front of the gas wharf Removal of the deposit will probably be difficult. The gas company has in stalled a pump at its plant to do the work. Mr. Adams and Mr Teal have been striving for the harbor extension for three year past. They said yesterday that if the extension should be granted the ob jection of the Government would be re moved, but it was explained in reply that this had no bearing on the question at present. BILLPOSTERS VIOLATE LSI" FOCK PROMINENT THEATRICAL MEN' ARRESTED. Manager Baker, of the Empire, One of Quartet. Takes Blame for Too Much Enthusiasm. That prices at the Emoire Theater had been reduced was very apparent to all who came down town yesterday morning Flaming posters proclaiming the fact had been tacked and pasted up everywhere by industrious advertising agents during the night, and those who had eyes to see saw on every hand that It will nut cost as much in the future to see the shows at the Empire. Among those who saw the announce ments of tne cut in prices for Empire Feats was Patrolman Goltz. He be thought himself of a city ordinance forbidding such advertising in certain districts, and quickly laid the case be fore Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald, with the result that four prominent theatrical men were arrested later in the day. George 1 Baker. Calvin S. Heilig. Milton Seaman and John F. Logan were the theatrical men placed under arrest, but Manager Baker, of the Em pire, takes upon himself the responsi bility for the violation of the poster ordinance. ' V7ien we reduced the prices at the Empire we Issued a great deal of ad vertising matter." said Mr Baker last evening 'In a jocular way I told the advertising agents they must make a good showing in this matter, else they mignt .-s well look for other jobs. The result was, everywhere to be seen when day dawned, for the posters, announc ing reduced prices at the Empire, were hangii.g all ever downtown buildings. I did not Intend there should be any violation of the law when I spoke to 'the advertising men. and am sorrv any occurred I take upon myself all :he responsibility. No blame attaches to Mr Heilig. Mr Logan or Mr. Sea man. My own men simply became a little too enthusiastic, over reduction In Empire prices. " Had His Picture Taken With Another Woman Turn George Snider Circulated Pot tnl Cards Bearing Photograph. According to Mr. Snider, Who Seeks Divorce. DECLARING that her husband went out to the Oaks with a strange woman and there had his picture taken with the "other.:' had the photographs printed on postal cards and then posted them up where the public might see. Mrs Catherine Snider yesterday filed a tupplemer.tal complaint in the Circuit Court asking that she be given a di vorce from George Snider. In the complaint Mrs. Snider declared that her husbands picture postal card trick was done solely for the purpose of annoying her and their three children. He might have had the picture taken with the other woman and kept it on the quiet, but putting it on exhibition in a public gallery, where all who ran Blight see. was too much tor Mrs. Sr.ider and so she is trying to hurry up the divorce suit. The husband is contesting. The Snlders were married at St Hel WORKS IS ens. Or.. January 20. 1593. Eleven years afterward, according to the statement made by Mrs Snider In her first com plaint, the husband began to flirt with ither women. The wife was jealous But if the story told by her is true the worst was yet to come, for 12 years after their tandem Journey on life's course began he slapped, choked and beat her. She alleges that he often became Intoxicated and during these moments of excited joy would spend a part of his time in slandering his wife. As an afterthought towards getting the separation Mrs. Snider suggested that the court order Snider to pay her i25 each month as ali mony. George Snider objected, and straight way did he file an answer, setting form that his wife no longer loved him as sje should, but showered her affections upon one Charles Foster. A war of affidavits followed and the matter is still pend ing. The postal card story is the very latest development, It having seen the light of day In legal form yesterday af ternoon. FINDS CATTLE COUNTRY Oregon Stockraiser Expects to Move to Saskatchewan. After an extended trip through the Saskatchewan Valley, Claude and Clar ence Heisler, of Dufurt, prominent cattle-raisers of that section, arrived in Portland last night. About five weeks ago they started put in search of a cat tle range, as the lands In Oregon, which a few years ago were vast uninhabited plains, are now rapidly being settled up. The Heisler brothers have found a land where the cattle kings still thrive Clarence Heisler when seen at the Perkins was very enthusiastic over the Saskatchewan section and says it Is one of the greatest countries for stock raising he has ever visited. "After leav ing the railroad we went inland over 200 miles on horseback and witnessed some real frontier life." said Mr. Heisler. "TVe visited one of the largest cattle ranches in that section, .over 200,000 head of cattle being owned by one man. The country is level and covered with hign grass. which resembles bunchgrass. Agricultural pursuits are almost un known, feed being provided for the cat tle by cutting wild hay during the Sum mer months. The houses are made of logs brought from the hills many miles away. The ranchers procure fuel by digging coal. The country is dotted here and there with innumerable lakes and small streams, and abounds In wild game. When the wind blows a more picturesque scene is hard to imagine. For miles, and miles the waving grass reminds one of the waves of tne ocean." It is probable that the Heisler broth ers will sell out their extensive interests In Oregon and go into the cattle business in Saskatchewan. WILL LECTURE AT HEILIG C. C. Eaton, Noted Christian Scien tist, Speaks Tomorrow Evening. Those interested in the lecture on Christian Science to be given at the Heilig Theater tomorrow evening by Clarence C. Eaton, C. S. B.. are reminded th3t reserved seats may be obtained this morning at the box office of the theater tree of charge The number of reserva tions is limited to six to one person, and they must be occupied by 7:45 o'clock the evening of the lecture or forfeited. This is the twelfth lecture given to the public ry the christian science Churches of Portland. . On the occasion of previous lectures the theater has been taxed to its fullest capacity, and an effort is made as far as possible to seat those who have not had the opportunity to secure reservations in advance during the IS minutes just be fore the lecture. The lecture will begin promptly at S o'clock, at which time the doors of the theater will be closed. OCAL scavengers who yesterday threatened to strike because of the impassable condition of Nieolai street. over which they are forced to haul gar bage to the city crematory, have been appeased. The city has agreed to make the street fit for travel by temporary re pairs pending completion of permanent improvements and there will be no walk out. Today the bad places on the avenue will be planked by a force of men from the City Engineer's office and the street will be kept In fair condition until the Star Sand Company, which -has the con tract to grade and macadamize the street Threatened Strike of Scavengers Averted j " !

RESULT OF GRAFT RUMOR Patrol Driver Price Is Assigned to Plain Clothes Duty, Taking the Place of Harry Circle, Who Dons X'aiform. Publication in The Sunday Oregonian of the details of a proposition made to gamblers in Chinatown, whereby police protection was to be extended to them for stipulated monthly pay ments, bore fruit yesterday afternoon when Chief of Police Gritzmacher is sued an order changing the personnel of the special plain clothes squad for the Oriental colony. Other changes of a notable character were made in the same order, reducing some officers to uniform duty from special detail work and promoting others from the ranks to fill their places. With a single exception the changes as made by Chief Gritzmacher meet with the approbation of persons inter ested in the welfare of the police de partment. The selection of Patrolman Fred Mallett to succeed B. F. Smith as head of the Chinatown squad is se verely criticized, because of the un savouy reputation of Mallett. No mem ber of the force has a worse record, and It is said great surprise was oc casioned when it became known that he had been placed on this important detail. Patrolman Mallett deserted his wife two years ago. bringing upon himself severe censure by his brother officers. Later he secured a divorce. For many months during the latter half of ex Chief of Police Hunt's reign Mallett was a special officer in the notorious Paris house. He had previously re signed, giving as a reason that he could not longer tolerate conditions then existing in the police department. Dislike Mallett's Promotion. The selection of Mallett as head of the Chinatown squad is looked upon with suspicion and chagrin by old and experienced members of the police de partment, who wish to see an efficient administration of affairs in the dis trict. Patrolman B. F. Smith, for several months working in plain clothes on special duty, and for the past few weeks head of the Chinatown squad, is recalled and ordered into uniform. The department officials are said to have been greatly humiliated by some of his actions, and it is understood that he is blamed by them for the story of graft, the details of which were published in last Sunday's Ore gonian. Smith is talkative, it is said, and his superior officers are said to believe he let out the story Inadvert en tly. In brief, the facts were that some one clothed with authority had made a proposition to Chinese gamblers to extend protection from arrests if $2000 per month could be raised. The Chi nese declined the offer. One of the minor surprises of Chief Gritzmacher's order was the assign ment to uniform patrol duty of Harry A. Circle, who has been doing plain T.1COLAI STREET MTTJHOLE, OF between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-sixth streets, can complete its work. Nicolal street between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-sixth streets is next to im passable and as it is the only roadway leading to the crematory, the scavengers who are obliged to haul heavy loads through the mire declared that unless the street were improved they would stop work. The rains of the past few days have converted the street into a veritable river cf mud. City Engineer Taylor inspected the street yesterday morning in response to an appeal from the scavengers and cit izens living in that vicinity and in the afternoon teams began to haul planking, which will be laid today. For the past week it has been no un clothes work since the dismissal of the staff of detectives by Mayor Lane three months ago. Circle was sup posed to be doing good work, and, in fact, he captured William C. Gibson, alleged fire-bug,- in the act of throw ing a. torch -into the printing estab lisnment of Kriedt Bros, last Sunday afternoon. Circle will "travel" with Patrolman Smith on the North End beat on the second relief, in place of Patrolmen Mallett and Kienlen, transferred to Chinatown. After four years' service as driver of the headquarters patrol wagon, without a single accident. John H. Price is promoted to the plain clothes staff. Aside from his hours of duty on the wagon Price has done much work and has succeeded in effecting several captures. He is regarded by Chief Gritzmacher and Captain BTuin as a good detective. Patrolman "Joe" Burke, a veteran officer with an excellent record, is promoted to plain clothes duty from his beat on the day patrol in the North End. Patrolman E. Burke, fcr some time a member of the "moral squad." is assigned to duty as driver of the patrol -agon in place of Price. All of the changes that reduce plain clothes men to patrol duty are made, it is admitted, because; of disregard of discipline. BRUIH WANTS TWO SCULPS RECOMMENDS SCSFEXSIOX OF PATROLMEN. Charges That Keller and Maloney Were Responsible for Albina Riot. Chief Ridicules Him. CaptaJn of Detectives and Inspector of Police Patrick Bruin, In an official com munication to Chief Gritzmacher. dated October 12, recommended the suspension of Patrolmen "Jpe" Keller and P. Maloney and also suggested that charges be preferred against them because of the part they took in quelling the riot in Lower Albina October 10. when the notor ious Albina gang assaulted them. Bruin alleged that the officers were present at the solicitation of the proprietor of a merry-go-rouncJ, and asserted that their presence incited the riot. Chief of Police Gritzmacher ridiculed Bruin's recommendation that charges be preferred against the two patrolmen, and characterized Bruin's part in the affair as foolish and unworthy of notice. He referred the matter to the police com mittee of the Executive Board, and an in vestigation will bs made, as in the case of all communications sent in. But the officers will not be suspended: neither will charges be preferred, according to Chief Gritzmacher. "Captain Bruin sent in a recommenda tion that Maloney and Keller be sus pended and that charges be preferred against them." said Chief Gritzmacher, but there is nothing to the case. I consider that they did good work. When assaulted, they stood their ground and made several arrests, in the face of a howling mob of hoodlums ana their sympathizers. When the proprietor of the merry-go-round saw that trouble was imminent, he called upon Keller and Ma loney to take action, and it was their plain duty to do so. They went back the next night with my permission, to make further arrests. I consider that they did good work." Patrolmen Keller and Maloney are credited with breaking up the notorious Albina gang, as through their efforts. 22 1 arrests were made growing out of the assault, and one of the ringleaders of the : gang was sent to the City Jail for 20 clays by Municipal Judge Cameron. Tes i terday morning three others were found 1 guilty of fighting, and would have been ! ordered to jail, but they signed written agreements to refrain from further mts i chief, the stipulation being that in case j of any future misdemeanors they will t have to serve jail sentences. WHICH SCAVENGERS COMPLAINED. common sight to see as many as three or four wagons stuck m the mire along the two objectionable blocks. Residents of the street have' nicknamed It "Miry avenue" and declare that it is the poor est excuse for a street this side of the Mississippi River. Nicolai street, where the Improvements have been started, is not only covered from sidewalk to sidewalk with the yel low, slimy surface mud. but is filled with pitfalls. "Gumbo,'' sticky as the gen uine article found In Missouri, is' present in large quantities and taken all in, ail the street is a terror to the best of teams and the best of drivers. Horses when driven through it some times sink In mud to their bodies and at times the wagon boxes drag. Horses NOW UNITED IN conn CAUSE Prohibitionists and Liquor Dealers Oppose High License. MOTIVES DIFFER WIDELY Opponents of Saloons Fear Heavier Tax Will Concentrate Business in Hands of Few and Create Dangerous Monopoly. From present indications, there will be a peculiar alignment of the forces opposed to the passage of the Wills high-license ordinance, which has been presented to the liquor license com mittee of the City Council. Although the measure meets with approval in various quarters, there is an anoma lous combination of Prohibitionists and liquor dealers that does not favor an increase of the license to $1000. The grounds taken by the two ele ments are diverse, but the effect prom ises to be the same, namely, to concen trate their influence against the ordi nance, or If that is defeated, against the high-license measure which will subsequently be submitted to the vot ers under the referendum. The Prohi bitionists are opposed to the high license or any license whatsoever; rep resentatives of the Anti-Saloon League believe that more harm than good would result from the change, and the majority of the liquor dealers are op posed to it for reasons of their own, although the keepers of some of .the larger 6aloons would doubtless wel come the change. "I can see no advantage that would result from raising the license," said B. Lee Paget, in discussing the ordi nance from the standpoint of the ultra Prohibitionists. "I am against any license and say either make the busi ness free or prohibit ;t altogether. It is either right or wrong and of course it is wrong. If they won't prohibit it. I would like to see the license system abolished. The result would bring about a revulsion of feeling that would drive out the saloons. Prefers the Lesser Evil. "But between a $500 license, as ft is now. and a $1000 fee, there Is little choice, and I cannot see the benefit which would be derived from the high er tax. I do not know but what The higher license is even the worse. In Chicago, when they raised the license from $5f0 to $1000, they found it nec essary to increase the police force by 1000 men. The large dives and down town saloons are certainly the most ob jectionable, and if a high license is simply going to concentrate business in them, it would probably make it harder to control and be a bad thing. Why, every saloonkeeper in the Korth End would be in high glee If the li cense were doubled, for it would mean more business." Paul Rader, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, also expressed himself as unfavorable to the high license ordinance. While taking the position that certain benefits would be derived from it. he asserted that there were many disadvantages which would probably more than offset the good re sults. The benefits, he said, would be have often become mired. There are so many holes in the street that it Is more uneven than the worst of mountain roads. The scavengers have been the principal ones to complain because when going to the crematory they have to drive through the worst part ' of Xicolai street. They haul heavy loads and consequently many of them become mired. The Star and Company, which has been at work on the street, had con tracted to complete the street before October 10. It requested an extension of time, which Is now pending before the executive board. The company claims that it was delayed by the scarcity of labor. In grading the street a heavy coating of gravel was scraped oft' and the rain came before the company had time to replace it. Immediate, while the bad effects would be lasting and more far-reaching. "There is little doubt that the high license would improve conditions for a time." said Mr. Rader. "It would do away - with many saloons, and among them would be some of the low dives which are most objectionable. On Ihe other hand, it would tend to concentrate the business in the hands of a smaller number of men and make it monopolistic. Fears a Liquor Monopoly. "On this ground I am decidedly opposed to the $1000 license. A person who now pays $500 for a license has comparatively little influence with the city authorities and is no more to be considered than other taxpayers, but let the business be united, one man paying $3000 to $1000 license for his establishments, and he would have more of a voice. Besides that, it would tend to unite all of the saloonkeepers more than ever, and that is to be avoided, for the liquor business in the nature of a monopoly is a hard thing to control 'We do not need legislation of this kind to get rid of the more undesirable sa loons. We have laws for that already. What we need is a rigid enforcement of the laws we now have. If the Council would revoke the licenses of all saloons in Portland which do not comply with the ordinances we would get rid of a great many of them." Agreeing with Sir. Paget and Mr. Ra der in opposition to the ordinance, al though on different grounds, is Paul Wes 6inger. head of the Weinhard brewing in terests. "The traffic is now taxed for all it will stand." said he. "and it is a short-sighted policy which would increase the amount in hope of Increasing the returns to the city. The liquor business is al ready paying into the Portland treasury about $1.50 per capita, which is very high, and any higher license will simply reduce the number of saloons and the revenue will not be increased. Los Angeles "ot in Point. "Those who want the $1000 ordinance point to Los Angeles, which has an ordi nance of that kind, but the number of saloons In that city Is limited and the total tax on the business is only about 65 cents per capita. San Francisco in its emergency has raised the license to $500. If this is good for San Fran cisco at such a period. It certainly Is good for Portland. Al Crofton. manager of the Brewers and Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Associa tion, declined to make any . statement other than to say that he agreed with Mr. Wessinger. Other liquor dealers also refused to discuss the matter, but it was intimated that there is a division of opinion on the new law. The big dealers believe that their business would be in creased by the high license because some of their small competitors would be put out of the field Councilman Wills, who introduced the bill, asserts that he will make a deter mined fight for it. and if the Council turns it down will carry it to the people He sees in it a means of greatly increas ing the revenue of the city and will make his fight largely on that ground. Works Well Elsewhere. "It is ridiculous to say that the total revenue of the city would not .be in creased by a $1000 license." said he. "It has been- tried in many places and wherever I have investigated I have found that the city has been the gainer. In Walla Walla they had 43 saloons pay ing a $500 license. This was raised to $1000. with the result that tnree went out of business, two of which were re placed by others. I estimate that' Port land would get at least one-third more from the saloons if the license were raised." The fact that high license is to be submitted to a vote of the people in case it is not passed by the Council may have soma influence on that body, ihe ini tiative One Hundred is now having a bill providing for a $1200 license pre pared by a committee eomposea oi r. L. Willis. Rufus Mallory. Seneca Smith. Richard Montague and M. G. Munly. If the Council adopts the $1000 license. however, no further steps will likely be taken towards bringing the matter before the people, according to Francis I. mo Kenna president of the One Hundred. PRAISE FROM A PIONEER Rev. M. D. Gage Predicts a Great Future for Portland. With vivid impressions of the changes wrought in the Pacific Northwest In the past 34 years. Rev. and Mrs. M. D. Gage, of Santa Monica, returned to their home yesterday, after a visit of several weeks In Portland and otner cities in uregon and Washington. "When I first visited this city," said the aged clergyman, 'T came from Vic toria to Olympia by water, thence over land to what was then Cowlitz .Landing, where the town of Kelso now stands, then down the Cowlitz River to the Columbia, and so to Portland. "I have contrasted what I saw then with present conditions and as I recall the city of 1S71, in which the woods came down to the then sparsely settled section at the base of the hills to the west. I realize the steady growth the city has made. The East Side was hardly consid ered at that time. As I have gone over the miles of electric lines on my present visit I have pictured Portland as a big city of the future with trade arms reach ing to all sections of the globe and the seat of a very large population. "In Southern California attention has been drawn to Portland as an investment center and many of our capitalists have directly and indirectly interested them selves here There can be no question of the wisdom of these Investments, for the location of Portland is such that the trade of a vast territory must naturally flow through its channels of commerce," "Scalpers' " Fines Are Remitted. Chief Deputy County Clerk Smith was yesterday served with a notice that the fines of Frank Eollam and C. H. Thompson should be remitted. Both Thompson and Bollam were convicted of selling railway tickets without law ful authority, it being the test case of the anti-ticket scalpers' law that was passed by the recent Legislature. Both men were fined $200 each and costs. It was practically an agreed case to test the constitutionality of the law, which was upheld by the Supreme Court, and District Attorney Manning recommended that the fines be re mitted. The notice of remission was signed by Governor Chamberlain and Secretary of State Dunbar. Senator Clark Coming Home. LOS ANGELES, Cal . Oct. 16. Senator W. A.
