POLICE REPORTER FOR
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
New York Most Useful Citizen to
Lecture Tonight on Subject
Near His Heart.
Jacob A. Rlli. who Is one of the most
Interesting figures on the platform In
America, la In Portland for the purpose
of lecturing on "The Battle With the
Blum." tonight at the T. M. C. A. hall.
The Ideas which he promulgates In
this lecture h obtained as a police re-
Jacob A Riis.
porter In New York City, a position he
held for more than 25 years. His life
has been an interesting one and his rem
iniscences, as he relates them, either in
his book or orally, could be listened to
(or hours without becoming wearisome.
"When I became a police reporter,'
aid Mr. Riis this morning. "I acted on
the theory that every crime committed
la the result of a certain environment
and I wrote my accounts in a way In
tended to point out conditions existing
In the great city which were largely re
sponsible for crime. I was repeatedly
'called down' by the editors, who de
clared that I was hired to writ the
news, not to give my opinions on social
problems. But I could not write in
any other way.. My own ideas and ex
planations of the causes of crime were
always paramount In my stories and
they were so difficult to alter that the
Tribune finally got used to them. Once
they told me I would have to remodel
my style or resign. I answered that
I was unable to write in any other style,
and If the editor did not like it. he could
let me out.' This did not happen, how
ever. If I must say so 'myself, I was
a good man on the police beat, because J
was enthusiastic, studied conditions and
worked hard"
Mr. Rlla . was asked to relate some
Of his experiences as a reporter.
The Manhattan Sank mobbery.
"Well," he said, smilingly, "I've had
a great many, and would scarcely know
how to, begin to comply with that he
quest. One of the first big cases I
worked on was the great Manhattan
bank robbery In 1878. I was at work at
police headquarters. Just around the
comer from the bank, when the robbery
was committed They got away with
$1.000.000 the largest amount of booty
on record I tell you, we struggled
against each other In that case the
newspaper men and the paper seemed.
to think I got the best of It, for my
alary was substantially Increased that
week. It was the Manhattan robbery
that made Thomas Byrnes famous aa a
chief of detectives. One by one the rob
ber were run to earth, and It wasn't a
great while after that until Byrnes had
scattered the crooks of New York to all
quarters of the world. Poor Byrnes!
He made a mistake In accepting the
office of chief of police, for It led him
Into scandals, and with the coming of
Theodore Roosevelt as president of the
police commission, he had to get out,
koala Stole Body of Stewart.
"Another case of Intense Interest at
the time was the stealing of the body
f Millionaire 'A. T. Stewart from the
family vault. New York went wild over
It. I do not remember a case that at
tracted more attention. The grave-robbers
wanted a ransom of 160.000, but the
police were so hot on the trail that the;
robbers did not dare risk the accept
ance of the money or the return of the
corpse. None of those concerned were
ever discovered, nor was the body. I
am Inclined to believe that there Is still
a possibility of the truth coming to
light through the confession of some
dying person."
Another celebrated case which Mr.
Rlla handled was the abduction of
Charley Ross.
"The crime was committed In Phila
delphia," he said "but the Interest soon
centered In New York, for It was there
that the kidnaped boy was aupposed to
have been taken. The police depart
ment worked for mnntns and months on'
that case, running down false clues, ar
resting the wrong men and searching
very quarter of the city for some trace
f the boy and his abductors.

self among them dashed madly for Ihe
restaurant and surrounded It, only to
learn that Moaner and Douglass had re
turned to their boat end pushed off
from shore a few minutes before.
"The men went directly across to a
rough landing with the intention or rob
blng the bouse of Judge Van Brunt, lit
tie suspecting that the pdllce boats were
ouraulna- them. They were effecting an
entrance to the premises when the judge
heard them, aroused his servant, ana
between the two they shot both robbers
to death.
"We were near enough to hear the
shots, having Just acramt.led ashore.
When we rushed upon Uie scene Moaher
was beyond speaking. We turned to
Douglass, who was breathing his last.
Did you steal Charley Koss r asaea
the officer In charge.
"Douglass nodded sffirmatlvely.
-Where Is her was the next question.
It was too late. The man expired be
fore his lips could move, and Charley
Ross the real Charley Roes has never
been found."
Willing to B,et urn to Work.
Mr. Riis was, and la still, an intimate
friend of President Roosevelt, whom
he met as police commissioner. Mr.
Roosevelt was greatly Interested In his
writing on the subject of New York's
vices and acted upon many a sugges
tion from the newspaper man, one of
them being the cleaning out of Mul
berry bend. In which district 17 murders
occurred within two or three years.
The old "bend" la now a beautiful park.
Owing to his peculiar style of writing
police news snd the New York Bun's
policy of stsndlng by the administration.
Mr. Rlla was for several years In, the
unique position of lighting through the
local columns the editorials of his em
ployer, Charles A. Dsna. The latter
was converted to the Riis method upon
the occasion of the latter exposing the
fact that sewage contamination existed
In New York's drinking water. Every
other paper. In New York denied the
statement In horror. RUs, however,
took his camera on a tour of inspection,
inearthed the facts, proved them, and
the result was an expenditure of 15,
000,000 for Improvements.
"Twenty-five years of this sort of
thing." concluded Mr. RUs, "snd I was
ready to quit. I left the desk five years
ago, but always shall reserve my right
to return to the Bun whenever I dis
cover an evil long enough to light and
remedy it over my own signature."

MICROSCOPE ON
POUR NEW BRIDGES
Property-Owners Determined to
Have No Repetition of Tan
ner Creek Sewer Work.
WANT WORK EXAMINED
BEFORE IT IS COMPLETED
Committee Has Been Delayed in
Investigation Because of
Lack of Rescripts.
An Investigation is to be made Into
the four brldgee embraced within the
Zimmerman resolution adopted by the
council nearly four weeks ago. The
committee has not been able to begin Its
work so far, becauae It could not get
copies of plans snd specifications and
contracts, but has waited as long as ft
can. and will make other arrangements
to have these copies made If they cannot
be had immediately through the regular
channel. One of the members stated this
morning that this Investigation had been
too long postponed and that the affair
would be preased to an Immediate Issue.
Property owners affected by the pro
posed Inquiry are growing restless. If
any correction is to be made in the
methods of work, they want it done
while the work Is in progress, and not
after it Is finished. If It Is found that
Incomplete Jobs are not according to
specifications. a remedy is comparatively
easy, whereas a finished bridge would be
a hard problem If material alterations
were demsnded by the Investigating
committee. Several property owners
near Marquam gulch were especially de
sirous of having expert engineering tal
ent pass on the security of the founda
tion work of the Front street bridge be
fore the superstructure was placed. Un-
less early action is taken by the com
mittee, these opportunities will pass.
As the 'Morrison street bridge is to
be finished some time this month, ac
cording to the statement of the con
tractors, criticism or commendation will
be about all that can be. accomplished
there by the committee, unless such
deviation is proved from the specifica
tions as warrant holding back a portion
of the pay. The matter of paying $11,
000 more than the original contract
called for, to add parts or features
adopted after work began, will be taken
up, as this sum did not pass through
the competitive bid scorlfler. Addition
of tender rooms, supplanting an oak
block pavement with a preservative
treated fir, and using steel girders for
wood, which are the three principal
Items of the added cost, are not thor
oughly understood by those who have
taken up the investigating task.
There .has been some complaint In re
gard to the block pavement item. In the
original plana snd specifications a cer
tain discretion was' left the city In this
respect As the contract was finally
signed with the Pacific Construction
company, It appears that oak block
pavement was chosen. Later, for a little
more than 17,000 additional cost to the
city, the contractors were authorised by
the executive board to supplant the oak
with fir treated with an approved pre
servative, and were also required to
treat the cross planking beneath with
the same. This Item will no doubt come
In for explanation.

While it lssted the game was excit

stakes to retrieve their fallen fortunes.
Othere became boisterous and accused
the dealers of cheating. Epithets were
hurled back and forth with such fre
quency that the gamblers attracted the
attention of a number of persons who
were passing. Seeing that their lair was
discovered the players made a rush for
the door and were soon skipping across
lots in an effort to escape. Their par
ents were apprised of the matter, which
led them to an investigation.
It was found that the deserted csr
contained stools, small tables, cards and
the other paraphernalia for carrying on
gambling. Many believe that the boys
