11 CHIEF CRITICISES She expects to be gone two years, however, and will have as a traveling companion Mies Clyde Boyette, a daughter of wealthy Southern peopie. Both are graduate nurses. On their trip, the women will wear Red Cross uniforms. Mrs. Solander speaks Ger man. French and Spanish, in addition to English. The two nurses will sail from New York, going directly to Naples, Italy. Continental Europe will be their next destination, and their trip, as now planned, will take them through the Orient. They expect to make an in spection of the hospitals of Germany, but because of the peculiar laws in that country, they will not be allowed to serve as nurses there. , OF Gritzmacher Declares Shoot ing of Olson by Policemen Was Unjustifiable. "SANDHOGS" GO ON STRIKE CAPTAIN SLOVER'S ORDERS THE MOKiMNG OKEGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1907. ACT ON BR UN lie Told. Patrolmen Not to Shoot, but Inspector Bruin, His Su perior in Rank, Counter manded the Order. If Chief of Police Gritzmacher had been In commanJ ' the squad that was dis patched to the Lyon House, Fourth and Flanders streets, to arrest Peter Olson, the latter would not be lying on his deathbed at the Good Samaritan Hospi tal. This is the general belief at head quarters, and the Chief himself, when In terviewed by a representative of The Oregonlan yesterday, said he deeply de plored the method Captain o Detectives Bruin used in handling the case, which resulted in the riddling of the barricaded prisoner with bullets by seven officers, at the direct command of Bruin. The opinion prevails In police circles that the shooting of Olson was unwar ranted and that It was an outrage, for which Captain Bruin alone is respon sible. Chief Gritzmacher is guarded in his statement relative to the case, but he Is greatly displeased and chagrined over the methods of Captain Bruin. "I think the Olson capture could have been handled In a more diplomatic man ner." said Chief Gritzmacher. "The shooting doesn't seem to me altogether justifiable, and I believe that Olson could have been taken with no shooting other than the first shot fired by him. I would have waited a considerable time before resorting to the use of weapons, to give the prisoner an opportunity to calm him self. Of course, if any one had to be shot, I'm glad it was Olson, rather than any of the officers, for he started the trouble.' chief Gritzmacher is a most diplomatic officer, and it is indeed seldom that he speaks a word of censire at the acts of his subordinates. What he says, there fore, Is significant. Bruin In ConTllct With Captains. Aside from the fact that Olson was rid dled with bullets, fired at random by a large police squad, and that he probably will die as a result, this case brings forcibly to light the frequent conflict of orders, issued at headquarters by tne patrol captains and Captain of Detec tives Bruin. The latter ranks as inspec tor of the department, and Is in command in the absence of the Chief. Captain Slovcr was in command of the relief when Patrolmen Thorpe and An- nundson telephoned to headquarters for orders, after the first shot was fired through the door of the room in the Lyon House bv Olson. His instructions to the two officers were to remain on guard, but to avoid further shooting. If possible, and In no case to start the trouble themselves. Captain Bruin was at headquarters at the time, and Captain Slover reported to him. Captain Bruin ordered a squad to be sent to the scene, but at that moment cave no further instructions. Captain Slover then proceeded to order Sereeant Cole and squad to tne scene, and issued orders that there was to be no shooting by the officers, unless In self-defense or to save the lives or oiners who might be in Jeopardy from Olson. 'Keep the man in his room, if he re fuses to surrender, but don't shoot unless obliged to," ordered Captain Slover. "If he persists in defying the police, we will assign men to watch the place all night and let him calm down, or we will get a fire engine and flood him out, if neces sary." Bruin Overrides Slover. In a patrol wagon, the squad then pro ceeded to the scene, but within a short time Captain Bruin appeared and took charge, in effect by his subsequent ac tions revoking every order issued by Captain Slover. and ending with the shooting of Olson. Captain Bruin also handled the case last Saturday night, when Patrolman Griff Roberts shot "William Stevens dur ing a saloon brawl. Bruin went to the scene and took charge. Although the participants in the row were known to the veteran officers of the department as dangerous characters, who had always been in trouble. Captain Bruin' refused to permit any of them to be arrested until warrants could be secured. This took until Monday morning, and in the mean time, all but a few of the guilty persons escaped and have not been captured. At the Good Samaritan Hospital Stev ens and Olson, the victims of police bul lets, are in serious condition, although both have chances for recovery. POLICE MAY CLOSE SALOON Chief to Proceed Against East Side Saloon Where Rioting Occurred. , Chief of Police Gritzmacher will proceed immediately to cause the revocation of the license for the MorriBon Cafe, East Morrison and East Sixth streets, at which place, last Saturday night, a gang of young hoodlums created a disturbance that resulted in the wounding of William Stevens by Patrolman Griff Roberts. This action was decided upon yesterday. . Great progress was made yesterday in bringing to book the members of. the crowd who caused the trouble of Satur day night. Pattrolmen Roberta and Stuart, who have been devoting their time exclusively to this work since the affair, have arrested four youths thus far. They are Raymond and Guy Nelson, Clifford Watson and Charles Peterson. All are minors, but they were all drinking in the Morrison Cafe, the police declare, and It will he upon this ground that Chief Gritz macher will ask for the revocation of the saloon license. Clifford Watson, who was arrested late let night, is charged with precipitating the shooting by throwing a stone, which struck Patrolman Roberts. Twelve Men Employed on Hill Road Bridge Quit. Dissatisfied because they were asked to work slightly longer hours 12 "sandhogs" employed on the Portland & Seattle Rail way bridge across the Willamette River, abandoned their work yesterday. The contractors in charge of this work have an abundance of men in their employ and in the past have had no trouble in find ing plenty of available labor for all needs. They do not expect any diffi culty in supplying the places of the men who have quit so there is little probabil ity that the work will be delayed because of yesterday's desertions. The men who left their work have been employed beneath the bed of' the river, making excavations for the bridge piers. So exacting is the labor that the "sand hogs" are divided into a number of shifts so that a workman is actually employed at his station beneath the river for pe riods of only about 45 minutes at a time. There are a number of shifts so that the arrangement requires in the aggregate but a few hours' work for each man daily. Good progress is being made on the construction of the bridge and until yes terday there had been no trouble of any description with the operating force. NURSES TO CIRCLE GLOBE Former Portland Woman Plans Xoval Tour of World. Mrs. Sadie L. Solander, of Chicago, who formerly lived in Portland, has originated the unique plan of making a tour of the world, ' and proposes to pay her way by working as a nurse. Her contemplated trip finds much In terest here, where ehe lived during the Lewis and Clark Exposition, dur ing which time she made many friends. Mrs. Solander conceived the plan while at Hot Springs. Ark. She sought the advice of American and foreign phy sicians, all of whom gave approval. The idea came to her through a souvenir postal card, which bore the words, "Around the world in 90 days." HAVE CONFIDENCE IX DOYLE Conductor's Friends Discredit Story of Alleged Brutality. Joseph Doyle, the Northern Pacific con ductor, who was accused by W. T. Hen dryx, one of the passengers on the train from Seattle Monday night, of ejecting a woman passenger and her little daughter from the train at Chehalis for nonpay ment of the child's fare, returned to the Sound yesterday on his train and a statement could not be obtained from him. Local officials of the company, by which Doyle has been employed for years, discredit the story of Hendryx, particularly his charges that Doyle re sorted to brutal treatment in removing the woman and the child from the train. "Under the interstate commerce law railroads are required to charge half-fare for all children between 5 and 12 years of age." said a Northern Pacific official yesterday. "The woman with whom Conductor Doyle had the contro versy admitted that the child was 5 years and 7 months of age or seven months older than the age for which fare is re quired. Doyle has been in our employ for a great many years and is known to be an even-tempered and cautious con ductor whose alleged action on this occa sion could only have been suggested by unusual conduct on the part of the pas senger. "What is more we discredit the charge that Doyle used any violence or in any way disfigured the woman In causing her ejectment from the train. He was act ing clearly within his rights and under the provisions of the interstate commerce law already referred to. The incident was undoubtedly one of those unfortu nate disputes between the conductor And a passenger in which the latter under the circumstances must have been the ag gressor." EXTENDING STREET RAILWAY Streetcar Line Laying Rails Into Overlook Addition, East Side. Work was yesterday begun on an extension of the Portland Railway, Lght & Power Company's street rail way system for a distance of 1000 feet westerly on Shaver street into Over look Addition. The company is mak ing numerous other Improvements to Its system In different sections of the city. Among the more Important will be the relaying of its tracks on First street, between Washington and Mor rison, Including the desired new pave ment between the tracks. This work will be begun some time this week. In Montavilla Addition the company is having Its track on Hlbbard street relaid for a distance of one-half mile In conjunction with the macadamizing of that thoroughfare. On McMillen street where the tracks cross Larrabee street and Williams avenue heavier rails are being substituted and the roadbed placed in first-class condition. . Idaho People Visit Const. A party of people from Western Idaho, numbering 100. attracted by the fame of the Oregon and w ashlngton beach re sorts, reached Portland yesterday after noon over the O. R. & N. and departed last night on the steamer Hassalo for North Beach and other coast resorts to spend a vacation. The travel to the beach resorts from some of the interior states is this year surpassing previous records. MAKES ANOTHER FRIEND Mark Twain Becomes Chum of Little; Girl on Shipboard. NEW YORK, July 23. After hobnob bing with King Edward, being made the recipient of a degree by Oxford Univer sity and having been dined and otherwise petted by notabilities of all sorts on John Bull's island, Mark Twain came back the happy and devoted slave of a little Amer ican girl. The small maiden Is Dorothy Quick, daughter of Mrs. E. Quick, of Brooklyn. She and the shaggy-haired humorist and philosopher had never met before the latter boarded the liner Minne tonka. at Milbury docks, London, but once they did meet they became insepar able shipmates. Miss Quick has hazel hair, blue eyes, a peaches-and-cream complexion and a mer ry laugh, and these proved Irresistible to Mark Twain for nine days, which was the time the voyage lasted. "How old are you, Mark?" she asked him one night as they stood arm In arm, looking at the moonlit ocean. "Well." drawled the funmaker, "the last time I was weighed I was 74. HoVf old are you?" "I'm 11, going on II." she answered proudly, "and I'm In the fourth reader." "My goodness." replied her friend, "but you are a big. wise girl." The two were photographed several times on deck, in each other's embrace, and the humorist wore his white suit in honor of these occasions. Eva Emery Dye Goes to Alaska. OREGON CITY. Or.. July 23.

He i said to have stabbed a man In that city. Serzze and Stai went to the Labadad home under the Influence of liquor, and started a disturbance by hurling dishes from the table to the floor. Mrs. Labadad rebuked them, and they threatened her life. She fled from the scene, down to Twenty-sixth and Nor thrup streets, to where her husband was at work. To him she told her troubles, but fearing for his own life. he did not return with her. Instead, he called upon Councilman Concannon for help, and the latter notified the police. The two officers had a hard fight with the Slavs, who had fallen asleep on the porch of the Labadad house, and were in a drunken stupor. When awakened by the policemen, both started to fight, and had to be hand cuffed. A big revolver was taken from Serzze. TT FTER reading the report since r discovered to bo untrue that there precincts in Albina had been voted "dry." and that as a result 32 saloons were to be closed, Harry Harris, col ored, familiarly known as "Handy," gasped and fell dead in the Morrison cafe, on East Morrison and East Sixth streets, at 2:30 o'clock yesterday after noon. Harris laughingly remarked to Po licemen Roberts and Stuart: "Albina's gone dry, there's nothing more to live for." As he uttered the words he fell from his chair to the floor. It hap pened so suddenly that thqj officers and spectators thought Harris had done a "stunt" as a joke, but he was dead when Dr. W. W. Bruce arrived. ' Coroner Finley was notified and the body taken in charge. Death is sup posed to have .been duo to heart dis ease. Harris was 52 years of age and was a familiar character on the streets. Little is known of him as 'to who are his relatives. He worked at odd jobs. CITY REFUSES PAYMENT Get a new straw hat: that one looks shabhv. See Robinson & Co. about it. Paae 12. Objects to Charges for Use of Polling Booth Furniture. Because they considered the rent charged for furniture used in the poll ing places at the recent primaries and city election exorbitant, the judiciary committee of the Council yesterday recommended that the bill of the Ira F. Powers Company be disallowed. The committee Is ready to consider a reduced charge for the use of the furniture, but if the company Insists on the bill it has submitted It will have to go into the courts. The furniture company supplied equipment for the booths at both the primaries and general election, charg ing $7.25 for the use of each set of furniture, consisting of three tables, six chairs, three lamps and an oil stove. The bill for the two elections comes to $794. The other election claims were rec ommended for payment, with the ex ception of a portion of the' printing bills. These were referred to the City Attorney to ascertain If they cor responded with the terms of contracts for printing held by the city. It Is estimated that the cost of the two elections was about $12,000. CREATE "ROUGH HOUSE" Slavonians Drive Woman Out of Her Own Home. Gon Serzze and Nicolac Stai. Sla vonians, created a panic in the home of Mrs. Annie Labadad, 502 Twenty sixth and One-half street, a narrow thoroughfare running along the outer portion of the Lewis and Clark Ex position site, at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. They were rounded up by Mounted Patrolman Keller and Spe cial Policeman Wright, and were locked up in the City Jail on charges of threatening to kill and carrying concealed weapons. Serzze is regarded as a "bad man" and it is declared by members of the Slay colony that he is wanted for mur der In Indianapolis... Before he is re leased this matter will be investigated. San Francisco Bond and Mortgage Company CAPITAL, $10,000,000 Vice-Presidents gaVf-P;r OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY President, John Lloyd. Treasurer, J. Dalzell Brovrn Secretary, Rufus P?

Gunn 100,000 SHARilS OF THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THIS COMPANY ARE OFFERED FOR SUBSCRIPTION AT $100 PER SHARE This Company nas been organized to loan money on Income property in San Francisco on what is known as the bond and mortgage plan. This ivolves the issuance of bonds secured by first mortgages on income property, and the sale of guaranteed mortgages. AN EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MONEY. EARNINGS OF CAPITAL STOCK SHOULD CERTAINLY EXCEED 12 PER CENT PER ANNUM A FEW WORDS TO INVESTORS: Bond and Mortgage Companle have been In existence in Europe over 133 years, and in America for several jars. Their success has been phenomenal. The Credit Foncier of Paris is a notable example. One such company In New York has now outstanding: loans on city real estate exceeding $95,030,000. These companies profit by loaning their funds upon mortgages at higher rates of interest than'they pay on their bonds, and by the Interest received on their capital, which is loaned on first mortgages on income property. The capital stock of American companies is earn ing from 12 to 16. per cent per annum. Thta Company should para more, owing; to 1)1 exceptional opportunity. California is a vast treasury of gold. Since 1849 the gold production cf the State has been $1,400,000,000, a sum equalling the world's stock of gold in 1349; yet it is believed that but the outermost coffers have been opened. In California is to be found, moreover, the richest agricultural region in America. On the Pacjfic Ocean California has already a great commerce, which will expand by leaps and bounds. In the harbor of San Francisco the United States has one of its most valuable assets, for this is one of the greatest harbors of the world. San Francisco Is destined to be one of the greatest cities of America. She is the commercial and financial heart of California. At the clos of 1906 the bank clearings of San Francisco, notwithstanding the disaster, were about two bilion dollars, an lncreane of 8.1)3 per rent ot tho previous year', ranking close to Pittsburgh and largely exceeding Baltimore. The clearings now exceed the combined clearings of Seattle, Ta coma, Los Angeles. Portland. Salt Lake City and Denver. The total banking capitalization, capital and surplus Of San Francisco is $70,342,643 Of Minneapolis, St. Paul. Omaha, Kansas City and New Orleans (combined) 62,33,777 Of Cleveland and Cincinnati (combined) S8.71o.66! Of Baltimore and Washington (combined) 72,134,992 The clearings for June, 1906, were $132,149,341.46) for June, 1907, $177,307,227.96. The total imports into San Francisco sinue the Are. April 18, 1906, have been $32,277,775; exports, $50,842,882. The total assessment-roll, based on a 60-per-ccnt valuation, is $429,000,000 a gain of $03,000, 00) in the past twelve months. The city is entering upon a period of unparalleled prosperity; from foreign commerce: from the rapid develop ment of California, with a population of but 2.000,000, yet an area larger than that of Italy, which sustains a population of 32.475.000; from new transcontinental railroads hurrying hither; and from the $26,400,000,000 of business east of California, a considerable portion of which is turning Its attention toward trade with the Orient, for which trade San Francisco is the natural gateway. San Francisco's vast business has been unhoused, and new enterprises are watting to be housed. rHoney I urgently needed, for this: S2OO,OO0,MW wlU be required In the next five years. Forty thousand men are engaged in the rebuilding of San Francisco. There Is no better security than Income property In San Francisco. For the first time the city must draw upon the East and Europe for capital. The SAN FRANCISCO BOND AND MORTGAGE COMPANY: is to serve as Intermediary between capital and the borrowers. ITS SUC CESS IS ASSURED AND WILL BE REMARKABLE. No other city presents so magnificent an opportunity for such a company. The net earn ings of its capital stock should exceed the 12 to 16 per cent being earned by other such companies. All interested in the business of San Francisco should actively support this movement; it means direct and indirect personal profit. PLAN OF OPERATION The paid-in capital is loaned on approved mortgages. These mortgages are assigned to a trustee, and against them the mortgaga bonds of the Company are Issued. No change in securities is permitted without the consent of the trustees, who must first be satisfied that the valu of the mortgage to be substituted in at least equal to that of the one to be withdrawn. The money realized from the sale of these mortgage bonds is loaned, and the new mortgages are assigned to the trustee against an issue of additional bonds, which in turn are sold, the process being re peated as often as the business warrants. In addition to this, mortgages guaranteed by the Company are sold to Investors at a lower rate of in terest than called for by the mortgages, the Company profiting by the difference. The San Francisco Bond and Mortgage Company has three sources of profit: 1. Interest earned on Its pjild-up capital. 2. Difference between what it earns on mortgages and what it pays on bonds, which is usually 1 V2 per cent. 3. Difference in Interest on guaranteed mortgages sold by It, which Is usually 1 per cent. .
