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. "

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.

FEELS SHAKEUP
Chief Gritzmacher Issues Or
der Relegating B. F. Smith
to the North End.
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

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.
