(Crea MafaraResOTirces For the protection of roomers against robbery officers should be Bta tloned in North End lodging houses, according to the final report of the county grand jury submitted yester day. The grand Jury makes the recom mendation that these guards should be selected by the Chief of Police and that their salaries be paid by the owners of the lodging houses. "Prizefights" -also receive the at tention of the grand Jury. "We have listened to Chief of Police Cox In re gard to gambling, vice and alleged prizefights that have occurred lately. We recommend to him that all these matters be suppressed" is the language of the report. "In instructing the Chief of Pollco to stop prizefights in the city," said Frank Wilmot, foreman of the grand Jury, last ritght, "the members of the grand Jury had no reference to the boxing bouts which have been held recently In the city. We investigated the conditions . under which those contests were held and con cluded that they wero strictly within the law and not prizefights. We approve of Chief Cox" policy in regard to them, and that is to have these boxing exhibitions under the surveillance of the Police De partment." Three Cases Are Dropped. The grand Jury failed to find trua bills In three cases involving cases of Immorality which had been referred to the members by the Municipal Court. One of these was In the case of Michael Goldberg, charged with con ducting a disoroderly house. Another case constituted Joint charges against Bam Rubin and Pauline Brown, who were tried In the Municipal Court for having wrecked the furniture in Gold berg's house, while the third case was that of Frances O'Conner, wife of John O'Conner, and J. E. Holyfield, charged with a statutory offense, committed In a rooming-house. The grand Jury, returned three true bills before Its retirement. Amy E. Parker, who was brought from Tacoma 'some time ago on a charge of having sold the same furniture to different dealers, was indicted for stealing a deed to real estate from Caroline Mc Klnzle, a nurse who cared for Mrs. Parker while the latter was sick.. A second Indictment aga'lnst Mrs. Parker charges her with transferring the deed she had obtained from "the nurse to S. C. Priestley for $200. No Indictment was Teturned against her In the furniture case. Ross Accused of Bigamy. The other true bill returned by the grand jury charges John Ross, an electrician of San Francisco, with having married Helen Jenkins, of Port land, December 23 while he had a legal wife living In San Francisco. The report of the grand Jury, with the exception of some compliments paid the oistrlct Attorney, Is as follows: "We, the grand Jury for the Febru ary term, herewith hand you a brief outline of the findings of this term. Wo have found 15 true bills and seve not true bills. Wo visited the county Jail and found the same in a satlsfac tory state, and also visited the city Jail, which place we found to be en tirely Inadequate as to size. "In the discharge of our official du ties we listened to vhief of Police Cox in regard to gambling, vice and al leged prizefights that have occurred lately. We recommended to him that all these matters be suppressed. "We further recommend that an or fleer be placed at each lodging-house In the North End for tho protection of lodgers against robbery and so forth, to be selected by the chief of police, and the owners of the lodging-houses pay tne expenses of their hire. "Owing to the limited time of our term we have been unable to investi gate the outward swinging of . doors to all public buildings, but recommend that this matter be referred to the March grand Jury." 4 Marion de la Parelle. Marlon de la Parelle, who re cently came from New York to locate in Portland, will appear at the benefit given by the Port--land Woman's Club on the night of March 14 at the Bungalow Theater, Mr. de la Parelle has had wide experience in operatic work, having studied in Paris, Munich, Leipsic, New York and Chicago. He will give the "Mad Scene" from "The Bells of Corne vllle." The New York Examiner gives the following criticism of his work: "The most difficult part, that of Gaspard, a miser, was portrayed by Mr. de la Parelle. In tho second act a weird ghost scene, where the miser is caught by the Marquis counting his money, and the bells toll slowly in the belfry. Mr. de la Parelle dis plays wonderful ability. With his hollow eyes, sunken cheeks, his facial expression, the audience for a time is held in awe. The miser goes Insane, throwing his gold about, and falls cringing to the stage, losing his reason." 7? tctfTte fry, Tre Ho '8 e R. Davis, of Newport, Or.; Mrs. H. A. Webster, of Estacada, and A. C.

Relative to the article which ap peared in The Oregonlan today, under tho heading of "Defrauded by Son, She Says," permit me to say that I did, as a notary public, take the acknowl edgment of Mrs. Charlotte Moffett Cartwright to a deed In trust, which she executed in favor of her son, James P. Moffett. I was very particular In this in stance, as I always am, to read the body of the deed over to her and discuss Its features with her, and after doing so, she said that the deed was Just as she wanted It to be and then she signed it and acknowledged to me that she did so freely and voluntarily, for the pur poses therein set forth, and at her re quest. I affixed my notarial sal. and. to- ' . to szJ It9 In. J Ob e. -9 r son Of '4 WJ a,. 6- JO to o with another witness, witnessed her signature. There appeared to be nothing irregu lar in the transaction and' Mrs. Cart wright well understood, in my opinion, that she was signing a trust deed to her son, James P. Moffett, and nothing was said by anyone present that would lead her to believe she was signing a will. or any other instrument than the one she signed. FRANK E. WATKINS.
