10 THE HORNING OREGOIVIAX, TTJES1AY, JULY 30, 1913. BRIBERY NO. 1 IS DISMISSED First Indictment Against May or, Chief and Others Not Pushed by Cameron CRIMINAL INTENT LACKING care fa. Jury anyway. Finally the Dt trict Attorney managed to procure continuance to yesterday afternoon and a short time later, although Mr. Cameron himself would not admit It, one of his deputies confirmed a rumor that a dismissal would be moved at z o clocK.

Custom-bouse, In charge of Lieutenant W. H. Toaz, U. Development on Day Set for Trial Indicates "Frame-Up" Collier Xot Intended as Original Victim, Is Intimated. When the time came yesterday after noon to begin impaneling a jury to try Mayor Rushlight. Chief of Police Clover and Captain of Detectives Baty, accused of offering a bribe of (400 to Deputy District Attorney Collier, the dismissal of the indictment was moved by District Attorney Cameron. Judge Oantenbeln allowed the motion. The dismissal refers also to Frank Reed and Clifford W. Maddux, discharged members of the Police Department, who acted as "stool pigeons" for the city officials In the attempt to enmesh collier. "In view of the fact that there Is a grave question as to our ability to es tablish criminal Intent In this case and also because the facts are contained la another indictment returned Satur day under the nuisance statute, I move the court that this case be now dis missed," said Mr. Cameron. "We have consulted with several able lawyers on the questions and have decided that this is the best course to pursue." Actios Is Not Surprise. The dismissal of the Indictment did not come as a surprise, aa for weeks It has been a favorite topic of con versatlon between legal men as to how the prosecution was going to establish Intent, one of the elements necessary to a crime. The defendants bad lndi cated an Intention to plead that they simply made use of a method upheld by the courts of Oregon in offering the bribe. Following the movement for dis missal. John F. Logan, one of the at torneys for the defense, announced that the second indictment, drawn under the nuisance statute and charging the same defendants, together with De tective-Sergeant Smith, with holding iouier np to public ridicule and scorn, will be proceeded against by demurrer on several grounds. The principal one is that the grand Jury at first returned not a true bill with respect to the same defendants and later, without, Mr. Logan declares, calling any additional witnesses or investigating further along any line, returned a true bill. Leaallty la Questioned. Tills course of procedure is said to be illegal. Mr. Logan is authority for the statement that Circuit Judge Gan tenbeln, now presiding temporarily, held some four or five years ago that a grand jury legally could not do this. The defendants, with the exception of Reed and Maddux, were arraigned yes terday morning on this second Indict ment and given till Friday to move or plead. The demurrer will be presented on or before that day and likely will come before Judge Gantenbein for ar gument. "There is no question that the charge against Smith will have to be dis missed," declared Attorney Logan. "He was taken before the grand Jury against his will. The law provides that a defendant cannot be required to go before a grand Jury. He may be given an audience at his own request without prejudicing the right of the grand jury to indict him but an indict ment cannot hold good after he is forced to give testimony before an indicting body. "If it is a nuisance for the police to use an authorized method to catch a member of the District Attorney's of fice In a criminal act, then it is a nui sance for the police officer or a Dep uty Sheriff to obtain evidence against a blind plgger by purchasing intoxi cants from him. The mere fact that a man is a District Attorney or Deputy District Attorney does not make him more sacred or holy than anyone else. Mr. Cameron refers to the Waymire case, but he forgets that the facts and the status of the parties in that case were different." "Frame-Up" Intimated. If any additional witnesses were ex amined by the grand jury between the time the erroneous not true bill was returned and Saturday, when the true bill was filed in court, their names do not appear on the face of the indict' ment Attorney Dan J. Malarkey yesterday afternoon indicated by his remarks that there is a feeling in the camp the Indicted city officials that perhaps .Reed and Maddux framed up with the District Attorney's office from the start to get the police and the city ad ministration "in bad." He recalled that It was Reed's affidavit, expressing a belief that members of the District Attorney's staff could be bribed to dismiss an indictment pending against himself and Maddux which induced Mayor Rushlight and Chief Slover to lay their wires to prove or disprove the contention. Mr. Malarkey exhib ited a copy of extracts from the police records showing that it was Chief Slover. when a captain a few years ago, who forced Reed's resignation from the Police Department by prefer ring charges against him. Reed turned In his star lust as the Ponce Com mission started taking evidence and wbile Slover was on the stand as a witness against him. "Why is it." demanded Attorney Malarkey, "that Reed and Maddux have never been brought to trial on the dictment which has been pending against them several months charging them with extorting 40 or JoO, or some such amount, from Madge Mor ganT From what I have read and learned in other ways the District At torney seems to have a mighty good case against them. Collier Xot Original Target. "As far as Frank Collier Is concerned I can state frankly that It was not the Intention of the Mayor and Chief Slover to catch htm, but others In the office," said Attorney Logan. "If this case ever comes to trial we will cause to be told on the stand the stories which came to the Mayor and Chief and which led them to believe that the District Attorney's office could be cor rupted. Collier came Into the case un expectedly and the thing sort of auto matlcally switched to him." The skirmishing which ended in the dismissal of the indictment began in Judge Gantenbein' s court yesterday morning when District Attorney Cam eron sought in vain to have the com mencement of the trial postponed to Wednesday. Judge Gantenbein re fused, recalling that It bad been ex pressly agreed in his presence between Attorneys Malarkey and Logan, for the defense, and Deputy District Attorney Collier that It should start yesterday, although originally set for August 1. Mr. Cameron then said that he had summoned his witnesses for Wednes day. Judge Gantenbein replied that it would take a couple of days to pro- ATTORNEY, BOR.V AT LOCK PORT, ILL- OCTOBER 1878, DIED JULY 22, 1812. r if - k v If :; : - n - . "m J sjjMajW Millard A.

SULLIYAX WOULD RE DUCE EXPENSES. Americans Add Artists for Vaudeville Act. "No more sectional tryouts, no more N., are some works on the Gyro compass, which will interest those in terested in ships and shipping. In explaining about the Gyro-Com pass, Nautical Expert McNulty said: The principles upon which it is based have been long well known, but have been but slightly used In practical spheres. The invention assumes his torical Interest when it Is learned that since about the year of 2400 B. C, the magnetic compass has been In use board ships, and this Is the first de parture from that type. During all these centuries the magnetic field of the earth has been harnessed for pur poses of navigation, but today the principle of the gyroscope Is come into use, which, in reality, simply means that the motion of the earth upon its axis is the force which now will govern the mariner's compass. "Briefly, the Gyro-Compass Is a heavy wheel, rotating at the rate of 8500 revolutions per minute in a vac uum, under the force of an alternating current of electricity. It has been found that in such a case the power of revolution. Influenced by the rota tion of the earth on its axis, and by the force of gravity, forces the axis of the wheel to assume a direction due north and south. Those who have pored over works on mathematics and magnetism will welcome this Instru ment. It avoids all the complicated calculations incident to the use of magnetic compasses aboard steel ships. Charts, tables and magnetic surveys may be done away with so far as com passes are concerned. However, there are three variable errors which creep In, owing to the movement of the ship. Ashore there are none; but in a mov ing object the latitude, the speed and the direction of the ship's course have to be accounted for. However, three small attachments have been devised, by which, by turning three dials, the compass readily will automatically be adjusted to show the north. "Another benefit derived from this wonderful new compass Is the reduc tion of error from swinging In a sea way. Commander Lyons of the Navy, states that the standard United States seven and one-half inch liquid mag netic compass. In the latitude of Wash ington. D. C, has 9 directive value of 548 dyne centimeters. This means it points toward the north with that amount of force of "pull." In the same place the Gyro-Compass has 291 times greater force of "pull," or 159 000 dyne centimeters. Voyaging north ward from the equator, the magnetic compass loses Its directive force faster than the other. "In Germany a Gyro-Compass has been developed, the wheel of which ro tates in liquid mercury. It has been found that the American compass, ro tating in vacuum. Is 11 times more efficient than the German. There are no variation, deviation or heeling er rors present. say are absurd, Lora C.

EFT to the audience to pick a bead ft- liner for the Orpheum, applause would give It to Martin Johnson travelogue, which is after all only collection of pictures from the South Pacific Islands and not any more In teresttng than are shown daily moving-picture houses. The attrac tion of the Johnson travelogue lies In the fact that the travel was made with Jack London in his cruise on the "Snark." Leprous people, and studies in diseased bodies, views of the islands and the customs of the Inhabitants, together with illustrations of bunting make the act. Mr. Johnson's side-talk is illuminating and Interest ing. Just why W. H. SL James should be a head-liner no one seems to know. The sketch, "A Chip of the Old Block,' is stupid and apparently written around the plumpness of St. James. Oc casionally he puts over a bit of com edy, for instance, when he burlesques musical comedy plot but by no stretch of imagination can the act be called unusual or even good. Tommy Kelly and Mamie Lafferty put over a dandy dancing turn. Kelly in the guise of a bell hop is in the class A of eccentric dancers, while Mamie pirouettes on her slim toes like a dainty little fairy. They work every minute and are entertain ing. As a piece de resistance they have a shadow dance with Mamie as the shadow which is capitally worked out. Another act with a bell-hop in it Is the last one, "Hotel Turnover," with the Robert de Mont Company respon slble. There's Buster and Mary Jane. besides the agile dancing bell-hop. They tumble, leap and perform like acrobats with the rapidity of a three-rinsed circus. Indeed at the finish all three do individual stunts that leave no one in doubt as to their cleverness. Charley Case, who talks so mean about his poor father. Is the big hit of the show as far as comedy goes In genteel black-of-face and clothes he monologues new, fresh chatter and sings his old pathetic ballad of the boy who looked upon the cup. Case's act is full or merit and fun. William Burr and Daphne Hope, billed as London Society entertainers, have a unique stage setting, which is greatly responsible for the interest of their act. Miss Hope sings well and the man has a new ditty "In Goo- goo Land." The stage setting is In black, with a red screened lamp hang ing as the one point of light immedi ately over the two singers. The wom an's gown a Parisian affair matches in color the lamp hanging. The "Great Libby," who lsn t any greater than dozens of other cyclers who are more modest opens the bill n a comedy cycling act. He does the usual and a few new tricks. Empress. THERE'S plenty of good material on the Empress bill and not one is dull. The headllner deserves first place for novelty. It's typically Western in atmosphere and has a plot, human In terest, cowboys and cowgirls for actors and depicts a bit of a racing course as a setting. A Wyoming Romance" Is Its title. and eight folk participate. . The big and thrilling part comes as a climax. In much the same manner as the char iot race in Ben Hur Is enacted, three bronchos run a race on the track. Beats of hoofs as the horses thunder past, the cries of the betters, and the calls of the girl riders as they spur their steeds on in the race make the scene truly realistic and full of excitement. Of course the plot has to do with the winning of the race, and a wager of hearts, and also, of course, the right girl wins. A pretty maid, Evelyn Flat, Maupln, Shaniko. Antelope, Agency I Foshla, is the "right girl." Agnes Health Board, anounced yesterday that he will take steps at once to require the muzzling or "leading" of all dogs In the city under the terms of the state statute. "Under paragraph 6, page 310, of the session laws of 1909," he said, "the state board is given wide jurisdic tion In cases of emergency such as this, and It is my Intention to get the State Board .of Health together and take drastio steps at once. There is posi tive danger owing to the fact that rabies have been discovered in about 15 dogs In the city, and we deem it important that preventive steps be taken at once. It is unfortunate that the ordinance turned out as it did." WATERWAGON FALL HURTS John Tanpesch Twice Drops to Pave ment, Says Police Report. The experience of John Tanpesch, who fell off the water wagon, not fig uratively but in reality, twice yester day, and sustained an Injured head.

Happy Jack Gardiner is almost an other headliner in his laughing sketch, A Close Call." The curtain, rising, discloses a Roentgen ray picture of two dressing rooms. Gardiner, as black-face minstrel, "makes up" and. coming out front, relieves himself of a dandy collection of songs. He sings them well, too, and adds a comedy hit with a big horn that Is mighty funny. A girl, needless to say the wrong one, and the actors wife almost meet in the dressing room. That is where the act gets its title. The lines are clever, the action Is lightning quick and the situations laughable. Valentine Vox, Jr., has an exception any entertaining number. He is a ventriloquist and has the usual dummy, but besides the expected comedy re marks he adds a crying spell, and a whistled solo which is well executed.

Bergmann, made big hit with many songs and was called back ior a number or encores. Besides displaying wonderful talent as vocalists the four 'Introduce a lot of wholesome comedy. Frank Bush, heralded as the world's greatest story-teller, did tell a good many mirth-provoking tales. Even if a story did not have much point, the manner in which Bush introduced It would make a hit. Mr. and Mrs. William Morris appear In a playlet, "The Lady Downstairs."
