RICHARDS 'TIS SAID .
HAD EYE ON PRACHT
The news of the resignation of Max
Pracht. special agent of th land de
partment st Oregon City, caused no
surprise to those who have been con
versant with the recent happenings In
cident to the prosecution of the land
frauds, si though there has bean no
charge that Pracht was actively con
cerned In thoee frauds.
Max l'racht's removal la understood to
be based upon charges of Incompetency
snd neglect of duty. Some circumstances
came to the knowledge of United States
l. ami Commissioner Richards while ha
was In Portland as a wltnsss at the
I'uter trial which led him to think thst
Prsjcht waa not a desirable man for th
government service. Inquiries were
made which probably would have re
sulted In his dismissal. It la said that
" Colonel A. R. Greene recommended the
removal of Pracht.

SOUNDS OF CAROUSAL
LONG AFTER HOURS
I'nless Joe Bender decides to plead
guilty to keeping his saloon, the Rlalto.
nt Fourth and Taylor streets, open after
hours, the police expect to learn the
personnel of a mysterious automobile
party which la said to have had a hilari
ous time there last night. ,
Captain Bailey reported to Chief
Hunt this morning that at 2:45 o'clock
he hear sounds of csrousal In the sa
loon. He watched for a few mtnutea.
when an automobile puffed up In front
of the doorway and several well-dressed
men find women left the saloon and
entered the vehicle, which shot sway.
A complaint sgalnat Bender will b
filed In the municipal court this after
noon. It Is expected, though no action
has yet been taken by chief Hunt.

Electricity and the faithful old
horse are at laaue again. , Electricity
would whirl Its patrons over th Morrison-street
brtdgs at twentieth century
pace, clearing th track of all auch
plodders as. man's time-honored equine
ally. Th good old horse Insists upon
being given opportunity for merit and
speed to assart themselves, that ths
fleeting car of science may not leave
him too far In the rear.
A simple four-Inch guard rail on
either aid of th car tracks crossing
th nsw bridge affords th boa of
contention thla time. Because team
drivers are prone to get . in front of
street oars. Jam narrow highways, en
deavor to psss each other where traffic
la heavy and confuse a throng of fal
low drivers, street csr patrons havs
been demanding that the new bridges
built In Portland keep cars snd teams
separata. Thla idea la being executed
by th bridge contractors.
The two tracks are placed as closely
together In th center of. ths brldga
floor aa aafety will permit leaving an
ample teamway on either aide. Between
these driveways and the car tracks a
guard rail four Inches high will be
erected. Teama going east must keep
to -The tight. Uklng the drlvewsy on
that side, and after entering It. cannot
pass anothsr ahead until emerging upon
the eaat side approach. The same Is
true with the side reversed In traffic
toward the west. No team will be able
to get on the car track, leaving the great
electrical motors free to dash across the
liver In a few moments with no Impedi
ment save their own kind. A counter
argument Is voiced by drivers of light
vehicles:
Voloe of the Bon.
"Once we get info those drlvewaya
the snail paoe of the most heavily laden
truck must be our pace. Progress Is
contingent upon all ths casualties of
freight traffic. A drayman forced to
readjust his load or replace a fallen
article will atop the entire cavalcade
behind him until he la ready to proceed.
Were the guard rail removed so that
faster walking animals might pass the
slow and those following might circum
vent a vehicle overtaken by accident,
extreme inconvenience to us would be
removed and the car service would
scarcely be affected. Drivers will nat
urally keep on a highway free from
cars if they can do so and would never
get onto the tracks save where forced
by some of the contingencies named. If
the guardrail were omitted this could
be done; with th rail there ear patrons
profit very little and we are grievously
burdened." .
If the ran 'Is erected as plannasVTt Is
probable that th MultfWwiah Driving
association will be aaked to Intervene
with the county officlala In behalf of
teamsters to have It removed. A street
car traffic argument Is presented to
rebut the horse tslk:
To r opulL
"Experience has demonstrated on the
Burnalde street bridge that teamsters
will not stsy off car tracks If not com
pelled to do as. On thia bridge the
tracks are on either side of the bridge
floor, leaving an Intervening space
nearly sufficient for vehicles to pass
either way while cars are on the tracks.
Yet any one riding over this bridge
morning or evening on a car will And
that the average time made by the care
la a third to a half less than It would
be If teams war kept off the track.
Take a car with 10 to 40 people In.
It. and have one stubborn teamster get
In front In such way that the car must
lose considerable time, and then de
termine the Injustice Inflicted upon a
multitude by one Individual. There Is
no wsy to keep the few drivers who
hsv no regard for the public off the car
tracks save by erecting a guard rail. A
multitude of people sre found on the
bridge every morning near the time for
going on duty. Steamboats compel the
draws to open and hold the throng for
several minutes. By the time that the
draws close, there is a Jam of teama so
that a car has to Rick Its way along
alowly. Hundreds of people are Incon
venienced every day in this manner, and
patrons of cars demand better accom
modation. There are more than 10 rid
ing In stret cars to on driving across
the bridge, snd the case simply resolves
itself Into the familiar social principle
that the comfort of the majority will
displace the comfort of the minority, If
they conflict."
Burnstde street bridge does not give
room for teams to pas each, other while
cars are on either side. Madison street
and the railroad brldgea have no rooms
for teams ssve on the tracks. The
trouble experienced on these highways
constnntly causes friction. In designing
the new Morrison street bridge H wss
the thought of engineers to eliminate all
possibility of friction, but It appears that
an unexpected source has arisen. Solu
tion Is not probable until the guard rails
have been tried, and the public haa
opportunity to Judge, of results from
practice.

A girl, scarcely 7 years old. timid and
ahy, the principal witness, testifying
against her father whom ahe said aha
dearly loved, on a charge, which If
proved, will send him to the peniten
tiary and of whose nature she could have
absolutely no conception, was the cen
ter of a scene in Judge Cleland's court
this morning, where M. A. Ward Is be
ing tried for a statutory offense.
A long battle for the mastery of
several very fine points of law waa
fought by ths attorneys before the little
girl waa. allowed on the stand. Her
mother and grandmother were not al
lowed to give the evidence desired, ow
ing to th construction Of th statutes,
but as the law had failed to exclude the
children In auch cases the burden of the
evidence fell upon her.
She had lived with her father for a
year or two after the parents had sepa
rated She could distinctly remember
all the Joyoua occasions of that time.
When Deputy District Attorney Haney
was endeavoring to have her fix a cer

months ago, but she could not estimate

was before Christmas. Clapping her

But here the attorneys cut short ths
recitations of the happy Christmas tlds

"Mildred." said Attorney Dttchburn In
cross examination, "did your mamma
tell you what to say here in court?"
Yes. sir," came the answer, unhesita
tingly. "Did your uncle Mr. Kinney, tell you
what to sayT" '
"Yes. sir."
But Mr. Haney saved the point by
asking her If she knew what would hap
pen If she -did not tell the truth. The
look of horror on her face as she replied
that she knew where little girls went to
who told stories was sufficient to lm
press any one with the fact that aha
wouldn't tell a story, not with all that
future in view.
The case was going on this afternoon.

a negro, today pleaded guilty to assault.
He flourished a revolver In th fac of
Policeman I.angley last summer. Sen
tenr will be passed tomorrow.
Shorn of the chaplets that graced a
hero'a brow for three abort days, and
hearing faint muttering of derision In
th roar of plaudits bestowed by th
multitude for a noble deed bravely don.
Bart Y otter confessed yesterday that he
lied whan he told th story of th at
tempt to hold up the Oregon Railroad 4V
Navigation company's "Spokane Flyer"
at ths M on ta villa switch Monday night.
In which h claimed to have been
wounded by one of the four bandits
He shot himself, he said. In order to
pose as a hero before the girl be loved.
In order to hear lavish praie for hla
valorous deed,, to secure reward from
the railroad company for frustrating
th desperate plot and to eventually be
come a detective.
The confession was mad to Detec
tlvos Kerrigan, Snow and others, who
were working on the case. Me con
sented to give a true account of the
affair only on promise of exemption
from prosecution. Consequently he will
not be punished, though tampering with
the lock of a railroad switch is a seri
ous offense.
Tetter Is only 21 years of age. In
appearance he Is as honest and truth
ful as one could possibly be. It waa his
look of absolute candor and th mar
velously wrought story, almost convinc
ing in plot and detail, that Imposed upon
the venerable chief of police of the
great elty of Portland, numerous de
tectives and newspapers throughout the
world. His story of bravery was flashed
throughout the country almost as soon
aa it was told.
Detectives Doubted the Story.
It would never have been known, very
probably, that h was telling other than
the truth but for the persistent Incre
dulity of Deteotlves Kerrigan and-Snow.
Other detective who were assigned on
the case by ths chief confessed Implicit
belief In his yarn, and began a thorough
and systematic search for the alleged
bandits. The story of the hat and Yet
tor's statement about the physician's ad
vice were th damaging assertions that
led to his exposure. Suspicions were
confirmed by the discovery of brass fil
ings on his gloves. The hat wae one of
his own and was shot full or holes by
himself. When it wss found by de
tectives they precelved at once that If It
had been worn by one of the bandits
the headless body of the same bandit
would also be In the Immediate vicinity.
They also knew that men who planned
a desperate holdup would not be armed
with either .22 or .S2-cal!ber revolvers.
The wound In Tetter's arm was caused
by a .22 bullet, according to Or. Hamll
ton, wno examined It. Yetter refused to
have the hall removed, and In hla state
ments contradictory to thoa of th
physician he opened a place of attack
which was Immediately seised by the
officers.
Yetter Is still employed at the Union
laundry, where he la head wringer. At
the place he has an excellent reputation
and where he ta known In the city be
alao bears a good reputation. His friends
are unable to account for hla deliberate
falsehoods. His father will offer no ex
planation. Tatter himself, however, ex
plained th whole affair when assured
he would not be punished.
"I did not go out hunting." he said.
"That Is the only part of my etory
that's trua I filed the lock and turned
out the light on the switch myself. I
shot myself with a .32 revolver after
having sent a load of shot Into my hat.
I threw the revolver Into a Held near the
switch. I told the detectives where to
find It.
"I had been sick and waa despondent.
I wanted sympathy and longed to hear
people tell me I was brave snd a hero.
Then there was the girl. It makes a
fejlow feel mighty good to have his
girl believe him to be the 'real thing.'
Afraid t Think of the Olrl.
"I thought I would get a reward from
the company for frustrating the plot. I
wanted to be a detective. I used to read
dime novels' and I read In the papers
that Frank James waa coming to town.
I have read almost every thing that has
been written about htm. His life was
the kind I longed for, and now he Is a
great man. I thought I could be the
"There was no one Implicated In the
affair but myself. I had no acotnpllcea.
and I made up everything I aald about
the four bandlta. I gueas It'a all 'off
with meienow. My friends will lesve
me and ihe fflrl I won't say what ahe
will do. for It's too awful to think
about."
Detectives are endeavoring to learn
more of Yetter's past. They asert that
when he was quite young he was Impli
cated In a postofflce affair In Indiana,
and served a brief time in Jail aa a re
sult He will neither affirm nor deny
the statements. Hs has lived In Port
land for five years.
Detective Fltxgcrald. who has. been
working on the case with Kerrigan and
Snow, visited the place near the switch
indicated by Tetter this morning, and
there found an old, rusty 22 calibre re
volver. Three chambers were empty.

Thirty members of th Spaclsl Insur
ance Agents' association of the Pacific
northwest, who are gathered in this
city for their annual convention, partici
pated In an exhibition trip on the fire
boat Oeorge H. Williams this morning.
Chief David Campbell of the fire depart
ment acted aa host, and the boat waa
given full opportunity of showing her
ability aa a fire fighting machine.
The boat ateamed at a high rate of
speed down the river to Swan Island,
then turning came to Day's mill. At
this point she swung sround and the
pumps wsre put to work. The water
tower and four lines were put In opera
tion, and the spray new In all directions
for fully 10 minutes.
It wss to the water tower that the In
surance men psld the most attention. It
Is something they hav never before seen
on a fir boat, as this Is the first fire
boat on which a water tower has been
erected. The plan of the tower was de
vised by Chief Campbell, and was made
In this elty. Inquiries have recently
been received from all parts of the
country concerning It, and many cities
will build a boat on ths same plan as the
Oeorge H. Williams.
The boat steamed slowly down the
river to the boat house where the vis
itors were put on shore. Backing out
Into the stream again the bont gave an
other exhibition of what It can do. The
engines were worked to their fullest ca
pacity. First a stream was thrown from
the tower, then from the forward snd
after turrets. All th lines were then
turned on. 14 In all. and Immense
streams were thrown from each for sev
eral minutes
Th visitors pronounced th boat a
marvel, and th city of Portland waa
complimented on having such a Are
fighting machine on the waterfront.
This afternoon th agent assampled
at 1 o'clock at the Palling building.
They boarded a tally-bo and were driven
to the Lewis and Clark exposition
grounds, where they Inspected the build
ings, snd took notes regarding the con
flagration haaards on buildings snd on
exhibits which will be placed In them
and on the fire protection offered.

Among Those Mentioned Are W.
B. Chase, R. 8. Greenleaf
and C. Wingate.
Rumors of all kind are afloat today
regarding th appointment of a suc
cessor to City Engineer Elliott, who
resigned aa a result of the Investiga
tion Into the Tanner creek sewer scan
dal. Nearly everybody In the city hall has
a candidate, who, he thinks, has a
better chance of securing; the position
than any other. The namea of W. B.
Chase, who served the city as city
engineer for three terms; R. S. Oreen
leaf, and O. Wingate, are the three
candidate moat frequently mentioned.
Mayor Williams Is non-committal re
garding the appointment. He says he
does not know who will be chosen ss
Elliott's successor. He hsa nearly
three weeks In which to make a choice,
and saya h will attempt to secure a
man who can successfully All the posi
tion. He realises thst Elliott's suc
cessor will hsve a trying time. Not
only will he haves to bear the brunt of
numberless remonstrances from property-owners
regarding Improvements,
but his work will be critically scruti
nised by the members of ths council,
who are determined to delv to th bot
tom of every Job perpetrated against th
city. Th place will not be a bed of
rosea
Asslstsnt City Engineer Scoggln hss
not hsnded In his resignation, and In all
probsblllty will not. He ssld this morn
ing that he would proceed with his work
as If nothing had happened. In order to
put him out of office the city engineer
muat bring chargea agalnat him and file
them with the civil service commission.
If hs desires he can demand a trial, and
If It Is found thst the charges are with
out csuse he would retain his position,
slthough against ths wishes of the city
engineer.
In such sn event the details of the
Tenner creek sewer acandal would be
gone over.
It has not been decided whst repairs
are to be made to the sewer. Msyor
Williams hss been receiving suggestions
from engineers regsrdlng what would be
necessary to put the aewer In good con
dition. One auggestlon has been made
that the entire Inside of the brick arch
of the drsln be laid with concrete 10
Inches In thickness. This will cost about
110.000. but It la said th reeulta will
be sattsfsrtory.
Some recommendations will be made
by the mayor to the executive board In
the near future regarding what he thlnka
best to do In the matter.
