SETTLEMENT 'WILL
PROBABLY RESULT
State Officials and Surety
Company's Representatives
Hold a Conference.
REGARDING STEEL'S BOND
Governor Makes Guarded Announce
ment, but Intimates That Out
come Will Be Satisfactory.
Hold Second Meeting Today.
At another conference to bo held this
morning between the officers of the
American Surety Company and Governor
Chamberlain and Attorney-General Craw
ford, representing the state, it is expect
ed an adjustment will be effected of the
claim the state holds against the surety
company for Its funds that were In t-e
Title Guarantee & Trust Company's bank
when that Institution closed Its doors.
The first conference was held yesterday
when a plan of settlement was suggested,
the details of which could not be learned.
"I am satisfied the American Surety
Company will agree to a satisfactory set
tlement of all claims of the state." said
Governor Chamberlain after the meeting.
"But I cannot disclose at this time the
proposed conditions of the adjustment for
the reason that the negotiations have not
proceeded far enough to warrant any
statement at this time. The representa
tives of the company have shown every
desire to deal fairly with the state and
there is little doubt but that we will
reach a satisfactory settlement at our
meeting tomorrow.'"
The conference yesterday was attended
' by F. A. Lafrentz, controller, and J. W.
Mason, assistant general solicitor, repre
senting the American Surety Company,
and Governor Chamberlain and Attorney
General Crawford, on the part of the
6tate. "In addition to the' bond for $100,000,
which was furnished by the American
Surety Company to secure a deposit of
J10O.000 of state funds"with the Title Guai4
antee & Trust Company, the state was
further protected against loss of other
funds by a bond for $300,000, executed by
the same company, and required of State
Treasurer Steel when he assumed the
office. The latter bond continues effec
tive during the time Mr. Steel holds the
office and the pending controversy be
tween the state officials and the repre
sentatives of the surety company was
raised by the state when it sought to en
force the bonding company to reimburse
the state immediately.
It Was impossible yesterday to learn
from any of those who attended the con
ference what would be tne terms of the
settlement. Just what concessions, ii
any, will be made by the state can only
be guessed, but the action of those In a
position to know Indicates that the ad
justment will amount to a compromise,
and that the state will receive a sub
stantial part of its claim at once.
RITTER WILL TRY AGAIN
Aged German Still Anxious to Ob
tain a Divorce.
George F. Ritter Is to appear again be
fore the footlights on the divorce court
stage. That he will take this step as
soon as the bank holidays are over was
the statement he made yesterday. Per
haps it is the death of Judge Frazer that
has caused him to reach this decision,
for not long ago Judge Frazer threw Rit
ter's case out of court. It was the belief
of Judge Frazer that should a divorce be
granted Ritter, both Ritter and the lat
ter's wife, Matilda, would remarry at
once and In a few months bring two di
vorce suits into court ir.stead of one.
The overworked Judge thought it best to
let well enough alone, and advised the
aged German, who believes that each
succeeding wife Is more Interested in his
bank account than in himself, to go home
and try to be happy.
When brought to the witness stand in
the former case Mrs. Ritter declared that
the loving nature which Ritter asserted
he possessed and which she believed was
his, was found, after her marriage to be
non-existent. While she was making this
statement Ritter thought a little demon
stration on his part would win the court's
favor, and he ambled up to the bench,
where, leaning on his elbows in front of
the Judge, he proceeded to deny every
assertion made by his wife.
It was Just after this action on Rltter's
part that Judge Frazer told the old Ger
man and his wife to go home like good
children and forget their troubles.

JOHNSON MOVES ON AGAIN
Man Who Arrested Orchard Resigns
Office at Joseph.
JOSEPH. Or., Dec. 6 (Special.) At a
recent meeting of the Joseph City Coun
cil, William Ward, formerly Marshal of
Drewsy, Or., was appointed Marshal of
this city to succeed A. M. Johnson, who
resigned after a young man against whom
he placed a minor charge had been ac
quitted after a hard-foueht trial before
Recorder C. R. Eberhard. In dismissing
the boy the judge administered to the
official a rebuke for waiting hours after
the alleged offense and apprehending the
young man late at night when on his way
home. . ,
Johnson has been the Marshal here for
about five - months and Is credited by
everyone as being the best officer the city
ever had. He had entirely broken up,
through the aid of the police Judge, a
gang of peace disturbers and otherwise
greatly Improved conditions. Of late,
however, his cases did not find the hearty
approval of the authorities.
Before coming here Johnson was for
several years on the police force at Boise,
and personally arrested Orchard. He fell
out with the authorities qver the reward,
and Is now very bitter against the Pinker
tons. He has removed from Joseph for
points unknown.

shillings a ton occurred within a few

number of steamers are due without out

GIRL BUNCOES A JEWELER
SUBSTITUTES PASTE FOR GENU
INE DIAMOND. .
Ex-Detective Joe Day and Police As
sist In Recovering Jewel,
v Stories In Conflict.
By substituting a paste diamond for a
genuine stone In a tray of valuable gems
while In Abendroth's jewelry store on
Washington street, near Seventh, Wednes
day afternoon for the alleged purpose of
buying a new ring, a young woman,
whose name the police refuse to divulge,
succeeded in making away with a dia
mond valued at $275, only to be -captured
yesterday, and forced to give back the
article. Fritz Abendroth, the proprie
tor of the store, refused to prosecute the
woman, and after recovering the dia
mond, declined to discuss the matter.
The police, with Abendroth's aid, are
making an effort to keep the incident
closed, and It is believed that they are
shielding the woman because of the fact
that she is a member of a prominent
Portland family. It is thought that she
had an accomplice, a young man.
Very few facts could be learned, as both
the police and Mr. Abendroth were reti
cent yesterday. It was learned, however,
that the woman went to the store and
was waited upon by Abendroth. She is
described as about 20 years of age, good
to look upon, and wearing a stunning
blue gown, of the Fluffy Ruffles kind.
After her departure the false gem was
found and the genuine one missed.
Yesterday the same girl visited I. Aron
son's store 249 Washington street and tried
to sell the stolen ring. Mrs. Aronson,
wife of the proprietor waited upon her.
At first the woman tried to exchange the
stone for a pair of diamond earrings,
and when these were offered her, changed
her mind and offered to sell the stone.
Telling a rather Improbable story as to
how she obtained the diamond, the girl
aroused Mrs. Aronson' s suspicions and no
trade was made. The woman then went
to Asher's Jewelry store on Washington
street, and again attempted to sell or
trade the stone. Ex-City Detective Joe
Day, who was walking about the streets
with Abendroth, saw the woman, and
both men entered the Asher store. They
identified the stolen diamond and placed
the girl under arrest. Calling Patrolman
Mat Murphy, who -happened to be pass
ing they escorted her to the station. There
after a long talk with Chief Gritzmacher
the woman consented to give back the'
diamond and was released.
So far as the woman's identity Is con
cerned, everybody concerned maintains
discreet silence. That she is a member of
a well known family comes from Aben
droth himself. When questioned yester
day, he said that he had nothing to say,
for publication.
By some it is believed that there was
no robbery. One person, who is sup
posed to know a great deal of the case,
says that the woman when cross-examined
declared that Abendroth had given
her tho ring.
ASKS FOR 10-CENT FARE
Oak Grove Improvement Association
Is Preparing Brief.
At the meeting of the Oak Grove Im
provement Association Thursday night
the following officers were elected for
the ensuing term President, John Ris
ley; vice-president" George H. Hanson;
secretary, S. L Casto; treasurer, G. W.
Myers. B. Lee Paget, who has been the
president of the association since its or

executive committee. L. E. Carter, a
Portland citizen, delivered an instructive
talk on the present financial 'situation.
He counseled the people to retain their
confidence In the banks. Progress was
reported on the movement to obtain a
10-cent fare with transfer privileges to
and from Portland. The attorney for the
association has prepared his brief in the
case, but the railroad company has not
yet replied. The following resolution was
adopted:
Whereas. The United East Side Push
Clubs, representing all the East Side Im
provement associations of the City of Port
land, have strongly urged the construction
of two high bridges to accommodate the
rapidly Increasing population residing east

Whereas, It appears that present bridges
were constructed when the population of
the East Side was less than 20,000, and it
now exceeds 100,000, and bridges are con
stantly congested, or closed for passing
steamers: now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the members of the Oak
Grove' Improvement Association, that wo.
In common with tho residents of other East
Side suburbs. strongly sympathize with
this movement, and pledge our hearty sup
port in carrying Into effect the construo
Uon of such bridges.

POLICE . COURT SENSATION
SEPARATE JURY TRIALS ASKED
FOR CHINESE GAMBLERS.
Attorney Malarkey's Novel Move
Threatens to Swamp Judge
Cameron AVitli Work.
Ah Jim, one of the 30 Chinamen caught
by Detectives Eaty, Price and Coleman
In a raid on a house, at 131 Second street,
on the night of November 29, was found
guilty of gambling yesterday afternoon
by a jury in the Municipal Court.
Sentence was deferred until- today. The
trial was something of a sensation. At
torney Dan J. Malarkey, who represents
the men caught in the house, asked for
a trial by jury yesterday morning, and
also demanded that the court depart
from the custom of trying all defendants
together. Six business men were accord
ingly summoned, and after listening for
five hours tor the testimony and pleas of
the attorneys, promptly rendered a ver
dict of guilty.
After the trial. Attorney Malarkey said
that hereafter he would demand a
separate jury trial for each of his clients.
If this is done it will take weeks to dis
pose of the cases now pending against
the Chinamen, for 78 untried cases are
now on the Police Court docket.
On the night of November 29,' Captain
Bruin, evidently thinking that Detectives
Kay and Kienlen, the two men now in
charge of Chinatown were neglecting
their duty, ordered Price and Coleman,
under the command of Detective
Sergeant Baty, to raid the house at 131
Second street. This was done, and 30
Chinamen were cought in a game. Money
and other evidence was secured, and the
gamblers were taken to the station,
where they were booked for gambling
and visiting a gambling-house.
The jury that tried the men yesterday
was composed of John B. Coffey, Thomas
Roberts, Herbert Bradley, H. D. Kilham,
John Bour and C. B. Huold. Attorney
Malarkey Insisted that the Jury visit the
house where the Chinamen were arrested
so the six jurors and Judge Cameron,
under the guidance of several police
men went through the house. They then
returned to the court, and the entire
afternoon was spent in examining
witnesses. Sergeant Baty, Detectives
Price and Coleman and Captain Slover
were called to the stand each telling
what he knew of the case. About 5:30
o'clock the lawyers finished their argu
ments and the jury went out. It re
turned In a very few minutes, with the
verdict of guilty.
If Malarkey carries out his threat to
demand separate jury trials for each ac
cused Chinaman charged with gambling.
It will be weeks before the cases are dis
posed of. As It now stands, there are
29 more Chinamen of the bunch captured
by Baty, Price and Coleman, 26 arrested
by Patrol Sergeant Wendorf, and four
arrested by Sergeant Johnson. Twelve
others taken by Kay and Kienlen, makes
a total of 01 cases yet to be disposed of.
If arrests continue to be made at the
present rate, half a dozen Municipal
Judges will be required to take care of
