PORTLAND, MONDAY KVgNINO, NOVEMBER tl, H04 r! j STORY CLARK IS SOUR ON PORTLAND Came Here to Open a Gambling House But Heart the News. HE NOW THINKS THAT THIS IS A VERY JAY TOWN Chief of Police Hunt Unable to Tell Him When Poolrooms Will Reopen. Carrying a roll of bills bo big that it would have put the famous hurdle raaer. Duke of York, on his mettle to jump over it, T. P. CUrk. better known aa "Stony" Clark, aama all the way from Kansas City. Mo., to Portland to engage In the poolroom business. Up to date "Stoney" has found his trip a losing venture, but to the sum of his knowledge he has added something interesting he has laarnad that Chief of Police Hunt Is not a prophet. Clark Is a Mlssourlsn and be baa been "shown." His verdict, accordingly, Is that "Portland: is a Jay town." He has written to his friends In several cities and recorded his opinion of the webfoot metropolis In no uncertain terms. And what mystifies him the most is that Portland's police chief doean't seem to understand the poolroom situation any better than the lay citizen. It saems that through some medium the. story circulated broadcast that Portland was the gamblers' paradise. "Stony" was in Kansas City when he heard the alluring tale. Having played in good luck for some time he concluded to come here and Invest his "earnings." In bis basts to reach what be was led to believe the Land of Canaan of the queer class, ba lost his hat, but pur chased one that had been cast aside by the "peanut butcher" of the train. When be got to Portland he bought the nob blest tile in town. Then Mr. Clark sauntered around to the Warwick Turf exchange, Just to let a few of his friends know he was in town and Intended to add to the merri ment of the situation by Investing a few slmoleons In a rival poolroom. He was greeted by old Jasper Fuller, deputy sheriff by grace of Tom Word. Indian fighter by experience and grim asd taciturn by nature. "Stony" slsed up the big star pinned in the exact cen ter of Jasper's breast . Ha didn't wear the look of a good sport. 'Wot in here, my friend," declared Jasper, waving his hand menacingly. "Not In here exospt over my dead body and big Betsy." "Big Betsy" is Deputy Fuller's Marlln rifle, about six feet In length. Mr. Clark left hastily. Then he Interviewed a few of the "sports" and his dream of poolrooms was shattered. This morn ing he went to the police station and secured an audience with Chief Hunt. "Chief," be Inquired, "how long do you think the poolrooms are going to re main closed?" The chief looked at Clark in amass ment and gasped for breath. "Young man." he finally answered, "I'm no prophet Ton go back to Chi cago and see John Alexander Dowle about it" With his "wad" slightly diminished Clark will leave for. other fields tompr tow. m WOMAN'S BLOOD OF CHOCOLATE COLOR (Joarn.1 Special Service.)
