AWAIT JUDGE CAMERON UntU His Return Patrolmen Hare No Hope of Punishment for Sa loonkeepers Who Break the Iiaw. Owingto the fact -that It 'is practically Impossible to secure convictions in cer tain cases bofore Acting- Municipal Judge Young, "Detectives Kay and Jones did not arrest the proprietor of the Burnslde Ex change saloon, when- they found a minor In his establishment - Friday evening. They brought the boy In. however, and he was released, with instructions to go back to his home In Baker City at once. His name was Edward Seeley, and his age 1C years. "Why did you not bring In the propri etor of the saloon, as is usual In such cases?" - was asked of Acting Detective Jones. "We did not bring in the proprietor be cause we thought we could not get a con viction before Judge Young?," replied Jones. "Wc thought we would wait until we had orders from the court, to see if he wished us to make the arrest of the proprietor. "Why Is it th.it the proprietor of the BurnElde Exchange was not arrested?" was asked of Deputy City Attorney Fitz gerald. "He may yet be arrested," was the re ply. "I will investigate the matter. I presume the court would decide that the law did not contemplate such cases." "I have been in this court three days on my case," said Patrolman Teevin. "I have lost much sleep, after working -hard all night. I will neVcr arrest another man for keeping his saloon open after hours while Judge Young Is on- the bench." Patrolman Teevin's case was that of John Furej. keeper of a saloon on North Fourth street. He was discharged on that count and lined $10 for selling beer to be delivered to rooms above his sa loon. Owing to the fact that a disorderly house is operated in connection with his saloon, and that the establishments are both notorious. Judge Young's sentence is considered by the police to be Inad equate punishment. Many policemen have ceased their ef forts to apprehend violators of law, pend ing the return of Judge Cameron, who is absent on a vacation, and it is said that officers are greatly discouraged over de cisions made by Judge Young. The dis charge of a saloonkeeper who admitted selling liquor to -a minor stands out as the most glaring of all the alleged mis takes of the Acting Judge. "I am a Christian, and do not believe In taking oaths said John Gottlolb. when he was told by. Acting Judge Young to hold up his right hand and be sworn. "All right." replied Judge Young; "toll your story, and I will take It for what It is worth." "I am a Socialist and work for a liv ing." explained' Gottlolb, who was charged with vagrancy. "I had been working in Southern California, but to please God and myself I came to Port land, where I intend tp stay." Gottlelb was discharged, but was told he' must not be idle, and promised to se cure work immediately. The case of Charles Trudgln, charged with larceny by embezzlement, and who was returned here from Abordcon, Wash., by Detective Hartman. was continued In definitely. The complaining witness is D. C Burns, a grocer. It Is understood that the case has been adjusted, and that there will be no prosecution. William Ryan and D. H. Harmon, ar rested by Patrolmen White and Carr on suspicion of being hold-up men, pleaded not guilty to charges of vagrancy, and their cases were set for hearing Monday. They will have to explain their actions here covering a period of 1" days, and will have to tell why they carried hcavy callber revolvers. They were emphatic in their denial of guilt, but Judgp Young refused to release., them, inasmuch as they declined to enter pleas of guilty to the charges against them. Five other vagrants pleaded guilty, and were per mitted to leave the city. Cleland yesterday in deciding the -suit of Maggie Weiser against Constable A. D. Keenan, In favor of the defendant. Moses Weiser. the husband of the plaintiff, bor rowed money from Yetta Relff, a woman with whom he was on Intimate terms. She sued him to recover. ?U4 In Justice Beld's court and obtained Judgment. Weiser was engaged In conducting an ex press business known as the Theatrical Express, and the Constable seized-two of his wagons. Mrs. Weiser then cams for ward with a claim that she owned the business and wagons. At the trial Weiser denied having signed a certain chattel mortgage, and other witnesses, Including the Notary whose Jurat was attached to the instrument, testified that Weiser did -sign it. This was a portion of the per jury referred to. No criminal charge has yet heen made agalnit Welsor. MAYOR LANE HAS POWER Appointment of Plumbing Inspector Vested With Him. Mayor Lano has authority to appoint the Plumbing Inspector of the City of Portland, and the Mayor's appointee, William Hey, Is entitled to hold the office and not Thomas Hulmc, the former in cumbent. The law of 1903 provides that the Mayor of every incorporated town or city containing more than 5000 inhabitants Bhall appoint a Plumbing Inspector. The statute further provides that tho Council of Incorporated towns and cities shall pre scribe, by ordinance, rules and regulations for plumbing work and inspection of the same. Judge Cleland yesterday decided that tinder this law Mayor Lane had the right to appoint Mr. Hey In place of Mr. Hulmc The original contention was that under the terms of the city charter the Common Council and not the Mayor possessed tho power to appoint tho Plumbing In spector. This point was not passed upon by Judge Cleland, nor was any reference made to the "Civil Service law, because all this -was unnecessary In deciding the case. The plumbing act of 1903 was passed subsequent to the Portland charter, and consequently is tho latest expression of the Legislature on tho subject. 3Inrquam Will Ask Rehearing. One more effort will be made by Judge P. A. Marquam to save his property, comprising- tho block bounded by Sixth, Seventh, Morrison and Alder, including the Marquam Theater building; SO acres of valuable land, and proagrty Jn South Portland. His attorneys, E. B. Watson, W. D. Fenton and -A- H. Tanner, will file a motion for a rehearing in the Supreme Court, and if it is granted an opportunity will be afforded for a rc-arguraent, and the presentation of new points in Judge Marquam's favor. "Wc have not yet determined the exact ground on which wc shall ask for a re hearing," said A. H. Tanner: "In fact, we cannot do so until we have fully exam ined the Supreme Court's decision. We shall try hard to convince the court that It is wrong." For Selling Tobacco to Minors. It cost E. F. Glblin. a grocer, doing business at Union avenue and Russell street. $114 for selling 10 cents worth of tobacco to two minors, S cents worth each. Giblln was tried and convicted by a.
