THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 16, 1907. WORK G REFORM R EHEWED Portland Municipal Association Holds Its Annual Meeting. CRUSADE AGAINST VICE Organization Reports Success In the light on Open Gambling, Slot Machines and Sunday Sell ing of Ivlquor in City. Four years work for civic reform was reviewed last night by the Portland Mu nicipal Association at Its annual meeting? In the Knights of Pythias Hall, Eleventh and Alder streets. The chronicle of achievement during this period was set forth In the report of the executive board. The work of the association for the sup pression of gambling. Sunday closing of saloons, the abolition of slot machines and the betterment of social conditions were mentioned in this report. A gen eral discussion followed its readings rd four members of the executive board were elected. . Dr. S. A. Brown and O. M. Scott are the new members of the board. With them .were named John Bain and John Peterson, who are hold-over members. The board consists of 12 members, four of whom are chosen each year. At Its next meeting the board will elect officers for the coming year. The present officers are: Samuel Connell, president; filler Murdock, vice-president; F. A. Frazer, treasurer, and John Bain, secretary. Sunday closing of theaters was the chief subject discussed, with the exception of the board's report. This is one of the re forms that the association now has In view, and the remarks last night showed that the organization is unanimously In favor of dispensing with Sunday plays. The subject was referred to the execu tive board for Investigation and recom mendation. Some time ago nn Invitation was ex tended to Francis J. Heney to be present at the meeting last night and deliver an address on municipal reform. Mr. Heney Is too busy in San Francisco to leave that city, but he wrote a letter that was read last night, expressing his sympathy with the work that the association Is doing. Executive Board's Report. The report of the Executive Board on the four years' work of the Portland Municipal Association reviews conditions In Portland now as compared with those In existence four years ago. when the Municipal Association was born. Then, nccordlng to the report, prize fights flourished, public gambling was controlled by a trust In league with the city gov ernment, brothels and beer halls were un molested, and slot machines were found In all saloons and cigar stores, while the coffers of the city were swelled to the extent of several thousand dollars month ly from fines Imposed upon the gamblers. The Municipal Association was organ ized as the result of a suggestion of the late W. J. Honeyman, who began the cru sade against prizefighting In a speech made at Calvary Presbyterian Church, re sulting in a motion that a committee be Appointed to approach the city authori ties with the view of having them enforce the law prohibiting such exhibitions, and Rev. W. S. Gilbert, then the pastor, ap pointed a committee of three for this purpose. This committee reported prog ress at a subsequent meeting, when J, R. Wilson, D. T., of Portland Academy, sug gested the necessity of "a permanent or ganization to make effective any action against the evil In question and others of kindred character." Shortly afterwaids a general meeting was called for the purpose of considering the formation of such an organization, and on July 14, 1WV3. the Portland Muni cipal Association was instituted, having "for Its aim and object the betterment of the social and moral life of the city of Portland." Suppression of Gambling. After the ban i.'as put on prizefighting, through the co-opcratlon of District At torney Manning and Sheriff Word, the Municipal Association took up the fight on public gambling. The report reviews the alleged coalition existing between the city administration and the gamblers, nnd the events leading up to the elec tion of Tom Word as Sheriff, which, the report says, was the death knell of gam bling in Portland. Commenting on this phase of the association's work, the re port says: It is to the lasting disgrace of the pres ent County Court, consisting of Judge Web ster, R. L. Barnes and W. TU Lightner that they have positively refused to reimburse him for his expenses legitimately incurred in this antl-gambllng campaign, though these amount only to about $800, while the fines collected by the county ns the result of It were between S400O and $5000. The arrest of the gamblers was followed by their prosecution In the Circuit Court by the District Attorney, ably assisted by Henry E. McGinn as special counsel. After one or two aborptive jury trials In which It was manifest that the verdicts, were not In accordance with the evidence, the court dismissed one of the Juries with & severe reprimand, which had a most salutary ef fect upon the eucceedlng jury. Convictions came rapidly and Jury trials ceased, the Famblers 'pleading guilty and paying their flnes. The suppression of the Warwick Club and the Mllwaukle Club, other reform measures of the association, are reviewed and also the closing of the lot machines, for which Mayor Lane Is given due credit. Mayor Lane Commended. Mayor Lane Is alBo commended for his policy in regard to saloon and res taurant boxes as follows: This question formed the etorra center of a bitter flsrht between the liquor Interests fend the better class of citizens who sought the removal of these pitfalls. H. R. Albee, while a member of the Council, introduced an ordinance prohibiting these. After pro longed opposition on the part of the liquor dralfrs the ordinance was passed as the result pf the efforts of Councilmen Albee and Flegel, backed up by the public sentiment aroused through the work of this association. The de termination of the liquor interests was shown by their taking the matter into the courts. The decisions of both the Circuit ' and Su preme Courts were against them. They then fell back upon the City Council elected in 1i5. composed partly of their famous "red ticket," and succeeded In passing a new ordinance over Mayor Lane's veto, which virtually repealed the Albee ordinance; but under the good work done by Mayor Lane meanwhile, the worst features of the box evil were eradicated, and have since been kept in abeyance. Regulation of Social Evil. The work of the Lane administra tion in regulating the social evil also meets approval, as follows: The rampant character of the social evil has practically disappeared under Mayor l,ane's administration. The work of the Po lice Department ha been most effective In this direction. That section of the force which by the preos, primarily In ridicule, has been called the "moral squad." has earned for Itself a reputation which means a good deal for the checking' and suppression of a type of lawlessness palliated too much la the past. The result Is that the low dancehalls and combination houses have largely disap peared. To find women in saloons is the ex ception instead of the rule, and street-walkers are few and far between. The famous Paris house is a thing of the past, while the whole evil is probably restricted to as narrow limits as are possible In a city of this size, with a mixed population. The police committee of the Executive Board has done most excellent work and too much can hardly be said in commendation of Its services to the city. Sunday Closing of Saloons. On Sunday closing of saloons the re port says: This question has also been long before the board. It was understood virtually to be the leading Issue at the last city elec tion, and the return of Mayor Lane to office had Its effect. The result is so re cent that it Is unnecessary to enlarge upon It here, furtber than to say that the public has expressed itself against the Sunday saloon, and we have doubtless seen the end of It. The effective action of the District Attorney and Sheriff In this matetr deserves hearty commendation. State Legislation Initiated. On the subject of state legislation the report Is as follows: Two measures have been passed by the State Legislature on the lntltlative of the association one making It an offense for property-owners to rent their premises for purposes of prostitution, and another, which originated with the Women's Auxiliary, raising the age of consent from 16 to IS years. Two other billn passed. one '.he House and the other both House and Senate, but failed to become law. One provided for the punishment' of public officials who should attempt to license gambling and kindred vices, and the other was against the advertising of the cure of venereal and similar diseases. The failure of these was brought about through neglect, or more likely, conspiracy, as both were strenuously opposed by Interested parties. This exposes a most culpable weakness In the machinery of the Legislature; for it Is preposterous that the action of the House and the Senate with large majorities should be defeated by the scheming of some Individual who can hide his Identity so effectually as to make It well nigh impossible to discover It. It borders on the ridiculous that such an august body as our State Legislature cannot devise means to avert the abortion of its own acts, and for Its own credit it should take steps to prevent the repetition of such nascocs. Liquor-Dealers Constant Foes. The Liquor Dealers' -Association is de clared to be the Municipal Association's constant foe: The Liquor Dealers' Association, recently reported to have disbanded, has been the chief opponent of our work, and we do no hesitate to say that Its connection with the political life of the community has been most debasing. The people at large are doubtless unaware of the Influence which this organization exercised; hence their in difference to it. It Is doubtful if any single Interest or combination of Interests In this city or state has been so constantly and persistently at work to forward Its own ends, and so determined to do this at any cost to the general public. Nevertheless the influence of the traffic haa within the past few years had Its grip on the legisla tive and executive departments of the city government much loosened, and if our work Is sustained that factor will In the future have much less control In public affairs than It has hitherto had. The two great difficulties of the asso ciation are said to be: First, getting the right kind of men to stand as candidates for election for public office; second, the indifference of the average citizen to public affairs. Baker City Only Open Town. That the work of the association has been far-reaching Is declared by the fol lowing: The work which we have attempted briefly to describe has had an Influence much wider than the limits of this city. It has spread throughout the state and Indeed throughout the whole Northwest. No town In Oregon of any Importance Is today "wide open" save Baker City, which so recently was the scene of one of the most dastardly crimes ever perpetrated In this country the assassination of good ex-Sheriff Brown. Ws believe, however, that there Is much cause for gratitude In the fact that the pur pose for which the organization was formed "to make Portland a bftter place to live in" has to no considerable degree been realized, so much so as abundantly to Juettfy the existence of the association and to merit for It continued support at the hands of all citizens who have the best Interests of the state at heart. BETRAYS HIS SHIFTY PAL ROY COXXEIA TEIvIjS ABOUT STEALING OF HORSES. Xorth Powder Man Who Bought Had Xarrow Escape From Losing Both Cash aifd Animals. PENDLETON, Or., Oct. 15. (Special.) Coolly and calmly facing the defendant, with the knowledge that he was tighten ing the coils about his old pal and mak ing his conviction and Imprisonment a certainty, Roy Connell, the 22-year-old horse thief, from Camas Prairie, yester day afternoon testified In regard to the horses stolen by himself and his former partner, John Price, who is on trial on a charge of stealing 12 head of horses in the southern end of Umatilla County. Connell testified that he and Price stole the band of horses from the Hascall Brothers and others on Birch Creek, in July. They drOve the horses Into Union County and tried to sell them in La Grande, Union and other places. Finally they made a sale at North Powder to E. Jacobson, who gave them a check in pay ment. Connell took the check to La Grande, but before he arrived, Jacobson had been warned that the horses were stolen, and stopped payment on the check. Connell went back after the horses, took them to Baker City, and sold them there, while Price came back to Pendle ton. Connell said it was not the first time he had stolen horses. Price's attorney, in his opening state ment, set up the defense that Price was hired by Connell to drive the horses into Union County for J20. Before the Price case began, Mike Mc Carty, convicted of having robbed J. P. McManus last February, was sentenced to four years In the penitentiary. Charles Bellinger, horse stealing; Frank James, robbery, and G. A. Gardner, lar ceny, were arraigned and given until to morrow to plead. SENT TO THE ROCKPILE! James Miller Presumes on His Ac quaintance With Police Judge. Believing that his acquaintance with Municipal Judge Cameron during 13 years would tide him over his troubles. James Miller, former proprietor of the Twelve Mile House and one-time pickpocket, re mained in town Monday, after having been ordered to leave on penalty of going to the rockplle. He was picked up yes terday, and the court insisted that the suspended sentence be carried into effect. Accordingly Miller will have to break rock during the next 60 days. Miller was convicted last Friday of being a generally useless and vicious per son. The court said Portland would be satisfied to be rid of Miller, and Miller said he would go.' If you don't go, you'll get two months at hard labor," the Judge told him. Remaining in the city Miller Is known to have boasted of his long personal ac quaintance with Judge Cameron, saying the sentence threatened by the court would never be put into effect Miller's hands are as soft as a woman's, and he possibly, never did a day's work In his life.

REPORT IS DISCOUNTED Larger Dealers In This Country Came Xear the Mark In Their Guesses Output Will Xot Sup ply the English Demand. The BsMish government's official esti mate of The English hop crop of 1907 was made public yesterday, and shows the yield to have been 374.129 hundred weight. The publication of this estimate Is an event waited for with much Interest by the hop trade the world over. The result, however, has been more or less discount ed, as the larger dealers. In their own estimates, were not far from the mark set by the British agricultural authori ties. The official figures were received yesterday morning by Klaber, 1 Wolf & Netter, of this city, from their London manager, H. E. Freeman, and by Isaac Plncus & Sons, of Tacoma, from a nomas Ironmonger, of London. The hop crops of England for 28 years and the acreage devoted to the Industry are shown by the following table: Yield for C( Years. Gov. returns Acres under total crop. Year Cultivation. Cwts.

Wolf & Netter on S ptember 20 gave out an estimate of 360.000 hundred-weight, as) the probable English crop. This estimate was made by Mr. Freeman after a close Investigation of conditions in the English yards, and the firm gave it publicity for the benefit of growers as well as the trade In general. The figures were, how ever, freely criticised and Klaber, Wolf & Netter were accused .of greatly over estimating the crop with bearish intent. The figures of the British government sufficiently vindicate them of this charge. English Dealers in Error. . In the meantime some of the English merchants had figured out their own crop at 400,000 hundred-weight, 450,000 ..undred welght and even 500,000 hundred-weight. It will be more difficult for them to ex plain the discrepancy. The English hop crop Is far under the English requirements, and, as happens nearly every year, other countries are called upon to make up the shortage. This year, while the American crop is also short. Continental Europe, unfortu nately for growers on this side, is abun dantly able to do a big expoi- business and Bupply the greater part of England's needs. The Continental hop crop, which last year was 774.000 hundred-weight, is this year placed at about 950,000 hundred weight. England, however, always ves a certain quantity Qf American hops, and can be counted upon to take at least 50,000 American bales during the season. Last year, when the English crop was unusually small, the American exports were 100,000 bales. Improve American Market. When the English demand for Ameri can hops sets in there will probably be some Improvement in the market on this side. Up to the present time the American demand has been almost a failure. The reason alleged is that the Eastern breweries are fully stocked with last year's hops, and have ample supplies of 1907 hops engaged. The 1907s, however, have not been delivered yet, and many of them have not been bought by the dealers who went short on the market. When these short sel lers undertake to cover they are likely to get a run for their money, if the foreign inquiry should materialize at the same time. That is, unless the growers are ready sellers. Just when the English demand will set in Is a question. The merchants of that country will probably buy up their own crop before turning their eyes this way. In the meantime the Pacific Coast dealers and growers will have to worry along with what they can get out of the American trade. The brew ers of the East seem to be more inter ested now In the shortage of barley and malt than in hops. Perhaps they are figuring on the large European surplus to help them bear down hop prices in this country. Xon-Suit Is Granted. The motion for a non-suit in" the case of Gus Simon against L.

CROP 0 no mer and others was allowed yester day morning by Judge Frazer. The suit set forth a claim for damages be cause the defendants failed to give possession under a lease tO'the cigar stand at Fifth and Morrison streets. As the proof showed that M. A. Gunst & Company were the only persons damaged, the court held that nothing could be recovered by Simon for Gunst's benefit. LAMBERT CASE IS ON TRIAL Vernon Man Charged With Beating Adopted Daughter. Thomas B. Lambert, who lives at Gravel Hill, in Vernon, is being tried in Judge O'Day's department of the State Circuit Court, on a charge of beating his 11-year-old adopted daugh ter Ruth, one day last July, until she was black and blue from head to foot. Practically all the testimony was taken yesterday, Mrs. Jennie Lambert, for the defense, being on the stand when the hour came for adjournment. The little girl, the star witness for the state, was placed on the stand early yesterday morning. She said she ran away from home several times because she had a dread of Lambert's whippings and vile language. She Bald he often cursed her for trifling of fenses, and when in a passion would pick up anything he could lay his, hands on, with which to beat her. Lambert testified that he never hit Ruth with a rope, that the whipping was given because the girl would not bring her school books to him, and that it was not severe, that he never cursed her, that he loved her very much, but that she would disobey and would tell untruths. Other witnesses testified as to the good reputation of Mr. Lambert. Dr. E. P. Geary, ' County Physician, said he found 23 black and blue marks on Ruth's body and Dr. Clark said he noticed her discolored eye and thought she was In bad condition when he saw her, shortly after she was brought from the woods. Deputy District Attorney Galloway Is prosecuting the case and said in his opening statement yesterday he be lieved the girl had been treated as no man would treat a mule. Lumber Company Assigns.'

The com pany also owes small bills amounting to a little more than $6000. A. A. Courteney is president of the company and J. S. Taylor treasurer. Holds Payment Valid. Justice of the Peace Reid decided yesterday that a check given in pay ment of a bill and drawn on a bank which fails before the check Is cashed, is good. Dr. A. A. Bixby was sued by C. Anderson, who sought to collect $15.50. Dr. Bixby had paid the bill by check for the sum on the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, but before Ander son presented the check, the Institu tion closed its doors. Streetcar Company Wins. Upon testimony being introduced yes terday in the $10,000 damage suit of Ida L. Clark against the Portland Railway Company to show that Mrs. Clark signed a release to the company for $20, and that the streetcar company paid a nurse $50, a motion for a peremptory verdict was sustained by Judge Gantenbeln, and the Jury without leaving the box brought in a verdict for the de fendant. , Petitions In Bankruptcy.

EQUALIZERS MEET MONDAY I Chance Is Given Taxpayers to Pre pare Complaints of Overvaluation for Consideration of Board at Its Next Meeting. Many of the property owners In Mult nomah County are taking advantage of the opportunity afforded by Assessor Sigler and are Inspecting the assessment rolls for 1907 before they are presented to the County Board of Equalization which will convene next Monday. This plan was devised by Assessor Sigler to facilitate the work of the equalizing board. From a personal inspection of the roll, prop erty owners are able to learn the values at which their property has been listed, and prepare such complaints as they may desire to make and which must be sub mitted for the consideration of the equalizers. Where errors are discovered in the list ing of property or the assessing of Im provements, corrections are made in the roll, but no changes are being made in the assessment that has been levied. Dis satisfied taxpayers are required to appeal to the County Board of Equalization for relief from what may be considered ex cessive assessments, and in order to make an appearance before that board, it is necessary for them to prepare a written statement of their complaint and file the same while the equalizers are in session. The Board of Equalization will meet next Monday morning and will be In session until the following Saturday night. The entire time will be taken up in receiving these complaints, which will be acted on by the members of the board subse quently. Few Objections Raised. Assessor Sigler says the subject of as sessment and taxation of property re minds him of a little couplet he once heard and which goes something l.e this: He who hopes & Just tax to sea Hopes for that which is not, ne'er was nnd ne'er will be. Not that any large number of com plaints have been made against the as sessment of property in tnls county this year, for only a minimum number of ob jections has been raised. But annually there . are taxpayers who consider they have been discriminated against by an assessor who has unfairly listed their property, and at the same time has been more lenient with the owners of abut ting property. While scores of property owners are visiting the Assessor's office daily and scanning the roll, rarely is an objection offered to the assessment that has been made which is not satisfactorily explained away when, for a comparison of the as sessment of other property In the same locality, it is apparent all of the valua tions are equitable, being based on the actual cash value of the land and the Im provements. Personal Assessment Thorough. - The assessment of personal prop erty of the county this year has been more thorough than ever before. As a rule the statements that were returned as to personal property holdings were ac cepted by the Assessor as a basis for as sessment, but where the property owners did not respond on the blanks that were sent out, an arbitrary assessment has been levied against the delinquent citi zens. There are on the personal assess ment roll in . this county for the year 1907 nearly 200 names. Assessor Sigler is especially desirous that all property owners call at his of fice this week and acquaint themselves with the amount of their assessments on both real and personal' property." Four deputies have been detailed to assist in terested taxpayers to locate their prop erty on the rolls and to render such as sistance as may be required to gain the desired information.
