REGON' CITY 34th Year OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1916 Numbcr 29 0 COURIER SHERIFF SWOOPS S PROMINENT MEN AND WOMEN TAKEN IN MORNING RAID ON NOTORIOUS JOINT MUCH LIQUOR IS UNCOVERED Julius Wilbur and Helpers Arrested by Sheriff and Deputies Witnesses Examined For the fourth time Julius Wilbur, proprietor of the notorious Friars' club at Milwaukie, ran afoul the law when Sheriff Wilson and nine depu ties swept down upon the club early Sunday morning. Mapping out a course of advance by which they could avoid Wilbur's guards and the clever mechanical warning signals, bells and lights that the man-has to guard his place from surprise, the sheriff's party surprised 60 guests and the management; confiscated 70 quarts of intoxicants, arrested Julius Wilbur and held 35 guests as witnes ses. This, the most successful raid ever made upon the club, was planned by District Attorney Gilbert L. Hedges, Sheriff W. J. Wilson and Deputy District Attorney Thomas A. Burke, after several raids failed to a certain extent because the place was fore warned and evidence was hidden. This time, however, the straightfor. ward .testimony of, some of those held as witnesses and the liquor seized will probably put an end to the club, say the officers. Julius Wilbur, manager; Casey Jones, musician; Louis Rosenfeld, waiter, and Tommy Nishioka, Jap anese porter, were arrested and re released later Sunday, under bond. Wilbur provided $1000 to gain his freedom and $500 each was exacted from the others after their testimony was taken. One of the most startling features of the early morning raid was the identity of the people found within the club. These included well-known Portland society and business people, -although they refused to give the au thorities their right names. They are known and can be called when wanted by the officers. Those held as witnesses were loaded into auto mobiles after the house had been searched from cellar to garret, and were brought to Oregon City, where the remainder of the morning was spent in taking their testimony. The witnesses were all released with the exception of the club employes. Without sufficient deputies to take charge of the number of machines sent here, two of the cars made good their escape, bearing some persons who will probably later be called as witnesses. The principal members of the parties escaping are known to the officials and their names are on file. The Clackamas county officers had little trouble in surprising the revel lers at the club. The sheriff and nine deputies attacked . the place in two groups, one going through the back entrance and the other, under Sher iff Wilson, through the front. Danc ing paused momentarily while the raiding party gathered up the drinks left on the tables about the large main room. With a guard stationed at each door, the sheriff started a search that took him to every nook and cranny of the large club house, and at first proved highly disappoint ing because evidence of liquor was lacking, except as found on the tab. les. In the meantime the manager of the club attempted several times to escape, but was stopped by deputies. He later left by means of a blind pas sage and raced to Portland in an automobile. Under blinds in the compartments of the bar "ginger ale" running about 50 per cent alcohol, labelled whisk ies, white and red wines, champagne, gin and many bottles of miscella neous intoxicants were found. Al together about 70 'quarts of liquors were found in secret compartments and on the bar. The "ginger ale" proved to be a particularly vicious whisky. After the witnesses had been brought to Oregon City and Wilbur had been located in Portland, Deputy Sheriffs Frost and French returned to the club. Advised of its vacation, Wilbur had returned and the deputies walked in upon him. He fled, climbed a rear fence, and started down the streetcar tracks at break, neck speed. A command from the deputies failed to halt him, but a bullet from French's gun put terror into Wilbur's heart, and he was ar rested. Salem women and Portland society women pleaded with the officers to keep their names secret. One woman from Salem said, when her testimony was being taken, that she would kill herself the minute her husband learned that she had been in the raid ed club. Girls, giggling little girls whose short skirts were only cast aside for this occasion, crying girls, fearful for a mother's broken heart, or for a father's discipline, sought (Continued on Page 8) . CITY WILL BUY NEW DOCK IN FIVE YEARS ARRANGEMENT MADE; BETWEEN BUSCH AND CITY COUNCIL. COST BILLS TO BE PAID The city council and Frank Busch, merchant, have come to an agreement whereby the city holds an option to purchase the proposed Busch dock and warehouses at the foot of Twelfth on Water street for $1000. The council, at a recent meeting, gave Mr. Busch permission to build a pier over Water street and to ob. struct the foot of Twelfh street with a roadway to the dock in considera ion of the option which he gave the city. Oregon City may come into posses, sion of the proposed property at any time within five years upon payment of the cost of their construction. Du plicate cost bills are to be filed with the city recorder and Mr. Busch will proceed immediately with plans for the erection of the dock. Written agreements, the result of the confer, ence between Councilmen Metzner, Cox and Buckles and City Attorney Schuebel for the city and O. D. Eby and Mr. Busch on the other hand, been filed. Mr. Busch has been anxious to get the details of the negotiations completed so that the dock work could be started and fin ished before the ' high water season, which would delay the work until next summer. Some of the materials are already on the ground and every effort will be made, says the owner, to get the work under way. The dock is to extend for 65 feet along the Busch property line on Water street and into the river from the property line and over Water street for a distance of -165 feet to the channel. Mr. Busch holds a fed eral permit for the construction into the river. The dock will be leased to the Oregon City Transportation com pany, and all river traffic will be al lowed its use at nominal fees. In the written agreement between the city and Mr. Busch the city's right to Water street has been entirely pre. served. JOSEPH IS GONE Mysterious Austrian Prisoner Sent to Insane Asylum Although John Joseph, Magyar mystery man who has been in the county jail since May 23, responded very successfully to all the tests that prove one sane, he was yesterday sent to the state hospital at Salem for treatment. Joseph was confined to the county jail more than four months ago on a charge of larceny from a dwelling. He has been kept there since simply because there has been no place else for him. He is not right, in spite of his tests, think doc tors who have examined him. He will probably be deported as soon as his treatment is worked out at Salem. Yesterday Joseph talked with Jo seph Woerndly, Austrian cousular agent at Portland, Mrs. Steve Lovak, a Magyar interpreter and others. He emphatically made it known that he would not work. He didn't care much what was done with him, but he would not work. Mrs. Lovak, after talking to him for some time, could not tell as to his sanity. Dr. H. S. Mount examined him. WE ATII ERFORD SPEAKS. Candidate for Congress Addresses Large Audience Here. Mark Weatherford of Albany, democratic and prohibition candidate for congress, came out strong for prohibition, both state and national, at a well attended meetng at Willam ette hall in his city on Tuesday even ing. His audience held many women who applauded his statements loudly and the men were just as interested Mr. Weatherford pointed out many of the shortcomings of the present representation in congress, although his own campaign is not one of fault finding and criticism. He has genu ine criticisms to make there were genuine shortcomings he believes. He is ambitious to correct those short comings, he said, but at the same time he wants to go to congress on his record as a man and as a citizen. He favors the suffrage cause and is a strong advocate of the abolishment of liquor, by states if necessary, but better by a national amendment. Badger Wins at State Fair R. L. Badger of Beaver Creek is home after spending a week at the state fair and he brings prizes and ribbons to show that his week was well and profitably spent. Mr. Bad ger showed his herd of 14 pigs at the fair and included in the number was a Chester White boar less than a year old, which was declared junior cham- pion by the fair judges. In addition to this highly important prize Mr. Badger was awarded second honors on a boar more than a year old, xhird prize on the herd and fifth prize on a young sow. Mr. Badger has an ev cellent herd of swine and is one of the most expert breeders of Chester Whites in the county. The Constitution of the United States does not mention health. mil Mil VOTERS UT DISTRICT ATTORNEY HEDGES ATTACKS ENEMIES' STATE MENTS. PROVES ECONOMY MARK WEATHERFORD SPEAKS County Candidates Talk at Series of Interesting Precinct Gatherings Under the auspices of the Clacka mas County Democratic Central com mittee the political party ball has started its course with a series of precinct meetings about the county and for the present week will conclude with a monster rally at Molalla on GILBERT L. HEDGES District Attorney Saturday afternoon, where Mark Wetherford, Democratic candidate for congress will be the principal speak er. The meetings of the present week have been at Stafford Tuesday night and at Clarkes Wednesday night. To morrow afternoon an important meet ing will be held at Estacada and on riday evening Marquam will be the scene of the gathering. On Saturday afternoon Molalla will hear the county candidates and Mark Wetherford. The speakers, in addition to special orators for each occasion, are Dis trict Attorney Gilbert L. Hedges, can didate for re-eection; J. E. Jack, can didate for state representative; C. W. Risley, candidate for county commis sioner, and G. F. Johnson, candidate for county assessor. For the big rally at Molalla on Saturday afternoon Joe Harless and Judge Becl are making broad prepa rations. They have advised the coun ty committee to expect a very large attendance and to have their stocks of facts in easy flowing order. Judge Beck and Mr. Harless were in Mo lalla when the recent republican rally was held there. They heard facts twisted and garbled and heard "Bill" Stone whose ability as an orator is said to be very much the same as his ability as a lawyer deliver his "speech." The democratic rally will begin at 1:30 in the afternoon and the program will be interesting from beginning to end. At Stafford on Tuesday evening and at Clarkes last night the county candidates were received by arge and interested audiences. Their facts and figures were so plentiful that even some of the most staunch of the party members awoke to a new knowledge of . the condition of county affairs awoke to a realization that at least that portion of the county af fairs administered by such men as Messrs. Hedges, Jack and Johnson were capably administered. And they realized the sincerity of Mr. Ris ley's promises as to the administra tion for the office he seeks. In his talk District Attorney Hed ges showed with plain figures and concise facts the business of the pros ecutor's office since he has been in charge of it. The economy of the administration as shown by tne dis trict attorney is one of the surprises that is in store for those who hear Mr. Hedges. During his term in office damage cases have been filed against Clacka mas county amounting to $31,434.10 and Mr. Hedges' auditors, those who had not followed in detail the work he had carried on, were startled to learn that every single one of those cases has been decided in favor of the coun ty. Among the many cases the dis trict attorney has handled have been fourteen liquor cases. Of these thir teen resulted in convictions and the exactions of some very heavy fines. There was, in that entire number, only one acquittal, and Mr. Hedges made it a point to mention the ac quittal just as he did the convictions. To enforce the dry law $3,000 was was appropriated, said Mr. Hedges. For the first six months of the dry year the county is just $194.53 ahead in the business of ousting the illegal traffic from Clackamas county. These figures account for the payment of the salary of the deputy. Fines have been collected under the dry laws amounting to $650 and the expenses of administering these laws have to- (Continued on Page 8) t?t 1 tj8 HAVE YOU REGISTERED? 'Saturday night is the last chance to register. There is a special reason for asking the registration of every voter in Clackamas county this year. The new law requiring final certificates of citizenship as a requisite to voting has taken a large number of available votes from the list. These must be made up as much as possible by the many who are not registered and have been lax about the matter in the past. It is a civic and patri otic duty for every citizen to register before the books close October 7. The county clerk's office, Miss Harrington has promised, will be open until 9 o'clock on Saturday night and probably the district registrars "will ex tend their office hours for the final night. It behooves every citizen to register today not to delay to get into the final rush on Saurday. Do it now You cannot vote November 7 unless you are registered. lt V?8 t$ i$ 1$ COUNCIL CONSIDERS THE 1917 EXPENSES A P P R OPRIATION SUGGESTED FOR MOTOR FIRE APPARATUS. $34,647.60 TO BE SET ASIDE The municipal budget for 1917, providing an appropriation of about $4000 for the purchase of motor driv en fire fighting apparatus was con. sidered and tentatively adopted at an executive session of the city council on Wednesday evening. A joint meeting at which taxpayers and councilmen will gather to discuss the budget proposals has been set for Thursday evening, October 19. With the exception of the approp- priation for fire apparatus there is no important change over the budget of last year. Salaries of city employes and officials remain the same as in the past and the entire sum of the budget is reduced to the extent of $4468.84. This reduction is made possible because of the fact that the sum necessary to retire warrants is $9000 less than it was last year. The total of the proposed expenditures is approximately $40,000, including the new fire equipment. With the omis sion from last year's budget of the warrant fund this year's proposed ex. penditures would be greater by near ly $2000 than those of last year. An estimate of the budget was placed before the council at an open meeting on Monday evening indicat ing probable increased appropria. tions in five funds for 1917 and re ductions, totalling $736, in three funds. The emergency fund of the 1916 budget has been overspent to date in the sum of $1074.81, and an addition al appropriation of $1180, as com. pared with $420 last year, is recom mended for 1917. The city printing appropriation has been overspent to date in the sum of $1.99 and a reduc tion of $300 is recommended for next year. This fund at the beginning of the present year contained $1000 and the over expenditure came from the printing of new city ordinances. The budget for 1916 appropriated $47,000, but $14,000 of that sum was used in retiring general and road warrants. This matter disposed of, only $34,647.60 will be required to sover the estimated expenditures of 1917. The exact sums of receipts to cov er 1916 expenditures were: Taxes on 7-mill basis, $19,949.31; road fund from county, $15,889.53; licenses, etc., from city, $3500, or a total of $39,. 338.84. Appropriations for city printing, engineer and appraisers are those upon which reductions totalling $736 are estimated for 1917. Eight New Citizens Eight new American citizens in habit Clackamas county. These men took the oath of allegiance to the United States in the naturalization court here on Monday under Judge J. U. Campbell. Those to whom final certificates of citizenship were grant ed are: Charles Priebe, German, Or egon City; Andrew McCulloch, Eng lish, Oregon City; Adolph Kasper, Swiss, Boring; Joe Benski, German, Oregon City; Frank Krause, German, Lents; August Dippel, German, Mil waukie; Peter Dewar Forbes, Scotch, Oregon City; Charles A. Menke, Ca nadian, Oregon City. The court or der making a citizen of Joe Benski also officially changed the man's name from Joe Benavswiski. The applications of Nels Oathes and Joseph Cublic were continued. Cublic failed in the literacy test and was instructed to educate himself for it. There is one political subject which Mr. Hughes must admit requires no investigation namely, the class of interests for which he stands. Messrs. Penrose and Smoot are his models for statesmanship, Crane and Hitchcock are his political managers, and Taft and Estabrook are his cam paign speaking companions. T T COST IS HARD SURFACE AT 67 CENTS A YARD ATTRACTS ROAD BUILDERS OF STATE WORK CONTINUED IN SPRING 36,606 Square Yards of Surface Laid. Harry Worswick to Have Charge Again The road program planned and carried out since the purchase by the county of its own road paving equip ment early in the spring, has been completed and the workmen and ap paratus laid off for the winter. The county undertaking, which involved in the first year the surfacing with as- phaltic concrete of 36,606 square yards of pavement 16 feet wide, has been highly successful and has called the attention of practically every county in the state to Clackamas, where the contractor has been over thrown and where the immense prof its that formerly went to contractors now are not taken from the pockets of the taxpayer. County Judge H. S .Anderson has been visited during the summer by several delegations from other coun ties and he has been besieged by in terested inquirers seeking knowledge of the plans worked out in this coun ty. In response to these requests he has prepared a report, of which the following is a summary. At an average eost of 67.8 cents per square yard, this county has this year applied 36.606 yards of hard sur face on some of the more heavily traveled roads of the county. The total cost per mile has been $6364, excluding the cost of grading and preparing the base. Including the base the average cost per square yard would increase to 76 cents or $7134 per square mile, acording to Judge Anderson's figures. The net cost of all Javement laid in the county since the county undertook to pave its own roads with its own labor and equip ment amounts to $24,828.06 and more than half of this sum, or $13,770.50, went for labor, including the cost of superintendence, inspection and office. The pavement was applied on the Oregon City-Parkplace road, Redland road, Milwaukie-Sellwood road, Grays Crossing road and the court house block, a total of 6679 lineal yards. The paved width on these roads is 16 feet with an additional four feet on the turns. In addition to the la bor cost there was expended $11,- 858.55 for materials and $609.95 rep resents interest on the plant and de preciation. The county has made an investment of $4782.20 in machinery, tools and equipment and since Ihe purchase has operated its plant in two different places and applied hard surface to the six roads mentioned. The paving program for the pres ent season terminated in September because of a shortage in the general fund, from which most of the money for the work was taken. Special ef fort will be made by several road districts to assess special levies for the hard surfacing of roads next year and the plans outlined by the county court already are extensive. Judge Anderson stated that Harry Worswick, who has superintended the work this year and whose mixture of asphaltic concrete is used in the work, will have charge again next spring. Mr. Worswick is now at Great Falls, Mont., working on a con tract with his father. Details of Judge Anderson's state ment follow: v Oregon City-Parkplace road, 2340 lineal yards, 12480 square yards. Redland road, 360 lin. yds., 1440 sq. yds. River road, 130 lin. yds., 693 sq. yds. Milwaukie-Sellwood road, 1552 lin. yds., 9312 sq. yds. Grays Crossing or 82nd street, 2297 lin. yds., 12251 sq. yds. Court house block, 430 sq. yds. Total, 6679 lin. yds., 36606 sq. yds. The entire cost of labor for mixing and laying the pavement was $13770.50. This includes cost of superintendence, inspection and office. Cost of labor for mixing and lay ing pavement, $13770.50. Cost of all materials purchased, $11,858.55. Interest on plant and depreciation, $609.95. Total cost, $26,239.00 Cr. by material left on hand, $1218.89. Credit by cash E. L. Pope drive way, $64.55. Cr. by material furnished P. R. L. & P. Co., $127.50. Total $1410.94. Net cost of pavement, $2428.06. Bluhm Owes Commission Fred M. Bluhm, an Oregon City wood sawyer, is defendant in an ac tion brought here Monday morning by the state industrial accident com mission. The complaint asks that a judgment for $14.12 be found, alleg ed to be . due the commission as Bluhm's contribution to the Industri al accident fund. HEN LIVE WIRES ENJOY GOOD ROADS TOPIC MARK WETHERFORD SPEAKS AT FIRST CLUB MEETING. COM MITTEES WILL WORK The Live Wires, assembled at the first meeting of their fiscal year, listened to an interesting and brief talk by Mark Weatherford at the Commercial club rooms Tuesday. Mr. Wetherford, although he is democratic and prohibition candidate for con gress, did not touch upon politics in any way. His few words were di rected toward the praise of the ac complishments of his hosts and to pointing out the need of road im provements both in this county and elsewhere. A more sincere attempt to care for and entertain tourists within the borders of the state was urged by the speaker and he laid spe cial emphasis upon the improvement of roads to scenic spots as an attrac tion to touriss. The subject of good roads was tak en up in earnest by the Live Wires after Mr. Wetherford's talk. The members are anxious to co-operate with the county court or other agen cies to any possible extent in evolv ing a plan whereby the maximum re sults can be obtained from the county road funds and whereby the greatest assistance can be gained from the state highway department. Main Trunk A. C. Rowland appointed the following committee to devise a scheme of co-operation and to work it out with the county court: Harvey E. Cross, Captain J. P. Apperson, Judge Grant B. Dimick, H. G. Stark weather and George Harding. A committee was appointed from last year to have charge of the sub jects connected with the river locks here. The government work stopped and left the lower sections in an un serviceable condition, while the only appropriation for the continuation of work is for the upper river, accord ing to a report presented by B. T. Mc Bain, chaiman of the committee. This committee will direct its efforts to ward co-operation with other agencies that might be able to secure addition al appropriations. The committee in cludes B. T. McBain, O. D. Eby and M. D. Latourette. RAPS CRITICS District Attorney Says Liquor Inter ests Working Against Him "The liquor violaters and the men whom I have time after time convict ed during my administration are right now raising a fund to defeat me and Sheriff Wilson at the coming election. I serve notice on them right here that I'll fight them and their dirty bunch to a finish!" So spoke District Attorney Gilbert L. Hedges at a rousing democratic rally at Clarkes Wednesday evening when county candidates Ed. Jack, Fred Johnson, Charles' Risley and Mr. Hedge3 addressed an enthusiastic audience. Mr. Hedges reviewed the accomp lishments of his administration. He has secured convictions in thirteen out of fourteen liquor cases, has won ev ery damage case he has tried for Clackamas county, the amounts sued for aggregating $31,000. During the last three years, the speaker said, he has drawn over 500 criminal com plaints, informations and indictments, and not a single one has ever been de clared faulty or defective by any court. He bitterly scored his politi cal opponents for their wilful mis representation of the $3000 budget ap propriation, which in the county clerks semi-annual report of July 1, was shown to be $3,194.53, after all expenses of prohibition enforcement, including the deputy's salary, had been paid. At the conclusion of his remarks the district attorney was given prolonged applause. J. E. Jack asked their support for legislature on his record as a public official. Fred Johnson promised ef ficiency and Chaa. Risley pledged his untiring efforts for constructive road work if elected to the commissioner ship. Marriage Licenses Three marriage licenses were granted by County Clerk Harrington on Saturday. These were made out to Mae D. Martin and Raldo G. Brown, of. Molalla; Grace Koffman and Melvin Burch, of Albany, and Dorothy Blom and Orville C. Ogles, by. of Oregon City. The latter named groom is under the age limit and filed the permision of his par ents. "Sam Blythe," reports B. L. T., in the Chicacro Tribune, "is telling a story about a western man who went to hear Mr. Hughes and was asKea what he thought of the candidate. He replied that the speech was all right, but that Mr. Hughes looked like a man who, if he were not a ran rlidat.fi. would vote for Wilson." That's the most flattering thing yet said about Candidate Hughes. uu luth Herald.

ALDERMEN WOULD SUBMIT PROBLEMS FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL AR RANGE TRADE FOR' WATER BOARD TRACT AS PARK SITE LIBRARY GROWTH IS RAPID Athletic Club to Hold Street Carnival Want Improvements from . General Fund That the city council may be re lieved of responsibility in connection with the radical steps that are pro posed, Mayor Hackett has submitted a series of propositions which he be lieves should be considered and voted on by the people at the city election in December. The arguments as to the possibil ity of passing some of the proposed measures started at the regular coun cil meeting held last evening, but their disposition will remain until a special meeting on October 19. The questons proposed are: Shall the municipal elevator be self-sustaining? The mayor and Councilman James Roake are , the strongest advocates of this measure. Councilman Templeton and City At torney Schuebel were set against it at the meeting last night. Shall the city have the right to condemn property for municipal docks or other public purposes? There seemed .to be little opposition to this proposition and it will probably be submitted to the voters. Shall all municipal improvements be made out of the general fund? This would relieve property from spe cial assessments for street work and such undertakings. Councilmen Metzner and Roake spoke briefly in favor of tthe idea while Councilman Templeton objected to it. J. E. Hedges, chairman of the li brary board, prefaced a request for an increased appropriation for the support of the library by reading a report on the growth of the institu tion. As the library is supported by a mill tax the amount cannot be increased very well. The report pre sented by Mr. Hedges shows a very creditable increase in the circulation of books, the number of attendants and the number of cards issued. Dec. , 1913 to Nov. 1, 1914, cir culation 10669, Attendance 26043, Cards 2003; Nov. 1, 1914 to Nov. 1, 1915, circulation 13812, attendance 29315, cards 2411; Increase for year as above, circulation 3143, attendance 3272, cards 408. Nov. 1, 1915 to Sept. 1, 1916, cir culation 14098, attendance 36753, cards 2826; increase for year as above, circulation 286, attendance 7433, card3 415. You will note that the above is on ly for eleven months. There are three thousand volumes in the library or an increase over last year of four hundred and eighty-five. There are also thirty-six magazines. The council turned the request of the Oregon City Athletic club into the hands of the street committee. The club asked that the main streets be opened for the big athletic rally and carnival that is planned for a week from tomorrow. The club has taken the matter up with the street com mittee and will promise not to dam age the streets. Consideration of the trade of cer tain city property for a thirteen-acre tract in the southeastern part of the city was one of the important matters before the meeting. The city re corder was instructed to prepare a list of all city property and turn it over to the finance committee. The committee will select certain proper ty and recommend that it be traded to the water board for the site that is wanted as a park and public play ground. Councilman Metzner last night guaranteed to improve the tract which may be acquired, making it ht for baseball and other sports, without a cent of expense to the city. THREATENS ASSAULT . Julius Wilbur Brave in Spite of Being "Caught With the Goods" While the hearty congratulations of the law-abiding and honorable people of Clackamas county were pouring in upon Sheriff W. J. Wilson, District Attorney Gilbert L. Hedges and the nine deputies who took active part in the Friars' club raid early Sunday morning, confiscating a store house of intoxicants and arresting the manager and others, a newspaper photographer visited the club with a deputy sheriff to take a picture. As the picture was being snapped Julius Wilbur, who is at liberty under a $1000 cash bail, rushed from the club house and threatened to break the camera over the head of the pho tograjlher if it was not removed. He also threatened, when the deputy spoke to him, to "knock the block" off the young man If he would remove his badge of authority. Needless to say, Wilbur did not have the block knocking satisfaction.
