BURGLAR MAKES DEFENSE
MAN WHO CRACKED A SAFE ON
TRIAL.
Ilia Lawyer Roughly Attaclw Fort-
. land Detectives "Privilegd"
Communication. Admitted.
J. A. Long "was on trial before Judge
George, in the Criminal Court, yesterday,
charged with rifling the safe of the Blue
Mountain Ice Company. This burglary
was committed on the night of December
19, and the booty secured amounted to
about $400, part of which was in checks.
The crime was daringly executed, and
the police were anxious to capture the
cracksman. A few days later Detectives
Snow and Kerrigan and Patrolman Du
Bols made the arrest.
The feature of the trial yesterday was
the attack made upon the Portland de
tlves by Attorney Vaughn, of the defense.
"They are," said" he, "a lot of persecutors,
whose desires to make a showing and to
hoJd their jobs leads them to stop at
nothing in order to make an arrest or to
secure a conviction. Any person, no mat
ter of how high or how low a degree,
can bo convicted by a trio of detectives,
if they so determine."
In opening the case for the prosecution.
Deputy District Attorney Spencer stated
that it would be shown that Long was a
discharged employe of the Blue Mountain
Ice Company, knowing the inside of the
office; "that Long the night before the
robbery had been in a saloon without
money, and that after the burglary he
flourished in the saloon large amounts of
gold coin; that Long made a confidant of
Attorney Green, placing In his hands a
stolen check to be negotiated for or dis
posed of, notwithstanding the attorney's
refusal to accept him as a client, and
that Attorney Green had later notified the
authorities. In searching Long's rooms
the detectives hadrecovered a kit of bur
glar's tooto and a number of marked coins
belonging to the company which had been
robbed.
For the defense, counsel maintained
that the tools were used by Long during
his career as a locksmith, and the money
he had when arrested had been obtained
from the sale of his transfer business In
December. If there were any marks on
the coins, the detectives were responsible
for putting them there.
The testimony of Elijah Frye. the col
ored portor of the company, was heard
describing the scene of the robbery when
he arrived in the morning. T. J. Gorman,
of the company, testified that Long was
a former employe, and as to the extent
of the robbery.
The principal witness In the afternoon
was Attorney Green, and over the intro
duction of . his testimony the attorneys
had a lengthy argument as to whether
the relations between Green and Long
were those of attorney and client, and
whether their conversation came under
the meaning of the term privileged com
munication. Judge George decided to
admit the testimony in regard to receiving
the stolen check. Green testified that
Long came to him with the check and
wanted him to dispose of It. Green re
fused to have anything to do with the
tranaction, saying that not for $10,000
would he attempt to pass it over the
counters of a leading bank. Long then
left without the check, stating that he
would return in a few days. Before that
time he was arrested. Green having in
formed the police.
Detective Kerrigan was put on the stand
and testified as to the details of the ar
rest. Attorney Vaughn attempted to draw
from him details as to his work. Detec
tive Kerrigan was not a supple witness.
"Tour job depends, does it not, on the
number of arrests, does It not?" asked
Vaughn.
"No; upon whether we do our work,"
was the answer. .
"Do yeu have to have any special train
ing before being a detective?" was the
next question.
"Do you have to have any special train
ing to be an attorney?" was the way
Kerrigan answered. Then the court ad
journed. Conrt Notes.

Accident on Madison-Street Bridge.
A peculiar accident occurred on Madison-street
bridge Monday night which'de
layed an Oregon City car for some time.
A stranger was driving across to the East
Side In a large express wagon. When
near the center of the bridge his horse
became alarmed at the approaching car
and plunged to one side, dragging the
front of the express eo that one wheel
was thrown outside the roadway and
through the opening between the road
way and the sidewalk. This brought the
horse to a stop suddenly, and the driver
was thrown headlong out the front of the
vehicle, striking the roadway with his
head, but sustaining only slight bruises.
The horse struggled, breaking both shafts,
leaving the wagon wedged fast. After
about 20 minutes' hard work, it was final
ly released and moved to one side, per
mitting the car to proceed. The driver
hitched his horse to the broken shafts,
and. after much difficulty, got his express
off the bridge, and then worked his way
home through the cold. It is the first time
an accident of the kind has occurred on
the bridge.

HOMELY WHOtESOMEPLAY
"WAY DOWN EAST" DELIGHTS BIG
HOUSE AT THE MARQUAM.
Series of Charming Pictures of Ncvr
England Life, Given by Quaint
Chnracter Actors.
Just a vivid picture of life on a New
England farm, or rather a series of pic
tures that tell a pretty little story whose
pathos is relieved by its happy end that
Is "Way Down East," which opened at
the Marquam Theater last night to a
crowd that occupied every seat and stood
three deep in the foyer. Its reception was
most enthusiastic. The applause In the
gallery was almost a continuous perform
ance, and It frequently burst from the
lower part of the house In such a storm
that many of the lines were utterly lost.
At the close of the third act, where the
climax of the action was reached, Miss
Beryl Hope, who, In the character of
Anna More, had won the sympathy of the
audience, responded alone to the third
curtain call, andt he ovation she received
showed beyond doubt that it was she
whom the audience wanted.
The charm of "Way Down East," lies
not so much In the plot as In the de
lightful fashion in which it depicts the
scenes and Incidents of a New England
"Winter. The magnificent scenery, the fa
miliar objects strewn with such artistic
carelessness about the stage, the jingle
of slelghbells, the remarkable snowstorm,
and the excellence of the character ac
tors who awakened recollections of the
days down on the farm which many have
spent, and all have read about, form the
secret of the impression it creates. The
same is true of "The Old Homestead" and
"Shore" Acres," either of which stripped
of its rural setting or robbed of the quaint
characters who come and go as If they
were "to hum" would become flat and
unprofitable, "Way Down East" Is rich
In these characters, and the comedy that
consists In doing things exactly as they
would be done In real life, though they
be only shutting a door or bringing in a
load of wood. Is In abundance.
Of course the story is necessary, but it
is by no means the whole play, and Is
wisely made simple and straightforward.
An unfortunate girl, betrayed by a mock
marriage, seeks employment as a servant
on the form of a stern, bt warm-hearted
old New Englander, whose son, of course,
promptly falls In love with her. The
hand of the farmer's niece, whom he
had Intended for his son, is sought by
the girl's betrayer. The discovery of her
past leads to her ejection from the house
in a blinding snowstorm by her employer,
but as she goes she denounces the author
of her unhappinebs. who is in the house,
and reveals the Infamy by which she was
betrayed. The search for her through the
snow, her discovery as she was about to
end her misery by drowning herself, the
disgrace of her betrayer, and a paternal
blessing all around conclude the play sat
isfactorily and the audience Is wreathed
In smiles as the final curtain falls.
The company Is good throughout. Miss
Beryl Hope, in the character of the
wronged woman, has a difficult part, but
she made so much of It that she was ac
corded a flattering ovation. Easily the
star of the company, however, is John
E. Brennan, cast as Hi Holler, the chore
boy, whose every appearance, heralded by
his cheery "Ho, ho, ho," was greeted with
delight, and whose portrayal of the part
was one of the most natural pieces of
acting Imaginable. Robert Fischer's rep
resentation of 'Squire Bartlett, the head
of the family, was another fine piece of
character acting, and was fully appre
ciated. Francis Byrne got all that was
possible out of the character of David,
the son whose love for Anna led him to
leave his father's roof. Earl Ryder was
enough of a villain to arouse high Indig
nation in the gallery. Charles A. Burke,
as Rube "Whipple, the town constable,
sang a song that was amusing. J. H.
Bunny was a good Seth Holcomb, and
H. H. Foreman was acceptable as Pro
fessor Sterling, the butterfly hunter, who
ensnares the farmer's niece in his net.
Loyola O'Connor, as the village gossip,
got herself 60 disliked by her propensity
to make mischief that she was liberally
hissed by the gallery, which probably
failed to recognize in her a Portland girl.
Ruby Bridges was sweet and winsome as
Kate Brewster, and Julia Hanchett made
a fine type of a Yankee housewife.
Not the least pleasing feature of the
performance was the 6lnglng of the vil
lage choir, whose music so delighted the
audience that they were compelled to re
spond to four encores.
"Way Down East" will run all the
week, with matinees at 2:15 today and
Saturday.
Piano Darned in a. Fire.
F. Schwab's house, 1028 Front street,
was nearly destroyed by tire at 11 o'clock
last night, and the loss, including a
piano, will amount to about $600. The
flames were first observed coming from
the middle portion of the house, and the
roof was soon ablaze. Mr. and Mrs.
Schwab were absent at the time. Truck
2, hose 2, and engines 4 and 5, responded,
and it became necessary to lay 700 feet
of hose to reach the nearest fire plug.
The origin of the fire is supposed to be

a defective flue. The house was built
about six years ago by Mrs. Schwab's
father, the late F. A. Meyer, editor of a
German newspaper. People in the neigh
borhood said that shortly after the fire
started, four loud reports were heard
coming from the burning house, probably
due to the explosion of cartridges.
RELIES ON POROUS ROCK.
Expert Who Believes Oil Will Be
Found in Povrell'M Valley.
E. S. McCoy, the oil expert who has
been bonding farms In Powell's Valley for
the past three weeks, came home Satur
day, and Is taking a rest. Mr. McCoy Is
very well satisfied that petroleum will be
found In Powell's Valley, and he bases
his conclusions on the indications he has
found. He puts reliance on the porous
rock. There are now others in the field,
and the farmers are receiving visits from
a good many oil "experts" with proposi
tions to bond their property. John Robin
son, a well-known farmer living a short
distance from Gresham, sas the farmers
of Powell's Valley will probably be an
noyed half to death by the oil men seek
ing to bond their farms, and the country
will be overrun with men looking for in
dications. It is understood that within
the next three months test wells will be
sunk, although it is" not known where
these wells will be drilled. Until these
tests are made, of course it cannot be
known whether Detroleum in paying quan
tities will be found. The men back of E.
S. McCoy are said to have the means to
go forward and make the tests and they
evidently intend to do so.
Tearing Dovrn the Sontli Wing-.
A force of men is engaged in removing
the south wing of the old Central School,
house so as to make room for the new
building. It Is desired to get the work
on the basement started as soon as pos
sible, so that the building may be- com
pleted during vacation without delay. Two
classrooms are located In the part be
ing removed, but Professor Gregg says
the pupils from' those rooms will be
crowded Into the other rooms of the
building. There will be some Inconveni
ence, but it will be. undergone with pa
tience. Much of the work of removing
the south wing will be completed and pro
visions made for, the pupils this weok,
while the pupils are away on their vaca
tion, and hence they will escape the noise
and confusion. The contract for the base
ment of the new building will be let and
work commenced as soon as possible.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Sale of Mechanics' Pavilion Referred
to Council Electric Light Bills.
The Board of Public Works met yes
terday to consider some bids which con
tractors had submitted on street improve
ments and sewer work. The contracts
were not awarded, but were referred back
to the City Auditor, to be reported on
in two weeks.
The board concluded, on the advice of
the City Attorney, that it had no power
to sell city property, being merely custo
dians of it, so the matter of selling the
old Mechanics Pavilion was referred to
the City Council, with the suggestion that
the building is a fire trap, a menace to
the neighborhood, and should at once be
torn down.
A communication was received from a
man who wanted to buy an old boiler
once used by the city crematory, offering
550 for it, but this matter was also re
ferred to the dlty Council.
A back bill of $10,800 presented by the
Electric Light Company, for light In Octo
ber, November and December of last year,
was debated, and the board favored pay
ing the amount out of the general fund.

Municipal JodRc Cameron Fines
Youiiff Men Who Plaj ed Polcer in
n Itoom for "Refreshments."
Is it an offense against the law. In
Portland, to play poker chips or cards
fnr drinks nr Hrrnrs?
"Yes," decided Municipal Judge Cam-
eron, yesterday, when he fined these
young men $o eacn ior samDiing: a. nn
rison, J. Scott. Ed Evers. J. L. Wilson,
G. W. Way and G. S. Alexander.
Thp nrisnners were recently arrested in
a room at a hotel on North First street,
and the police testimony betore tne court
was that when the arrest took place all
the defendants, with the exception of
Harrison, were playing a game of chance
at a table, on which were poker chips,
cards, and money.
"We were playing for drinks," admitted
Way. "There was no money on the table,
nnri wp riirl not have to redeem the chlp3.
Twenty white chips represented a value,
in drinks, or w cents, xne vaiue ol ;i
red chip was 25 cent. Since the police
order against gambling went Into effect,
we have not played for money."
"We were playing 'freeze-out' for drinks,
and there were about 50 chips in each
pile," testified Alexander. "Each player
had the same amount. In playing our
game, a man might play for hours before
lie was frozen out. If the officers had not
Interfered, I might have won a drink."
- Deputy District Attorney Dunlway said:
"These prisoners were gambling. When
the arrests took place, Evers and Way
had 50 cents each, Scott 5 cents, Wilson
$1 50, and Alexander 513 eO, Harrison had
no money, because he was doorkeeper.
The first four players I have named lost
to Alexander, and he came out winner.
The money each man had showed that.
They were gambling in a room for more
than one hour on the night of the arrest,
and the bartender has testified that the
boys did not order drinks or cigars during
that time. This Is a test case, and the
prisoners should be punished."
Judge Cameron adjourned the court at
this stage, and after an hour's recess he
said: "THe court will take cognizance of
the evidence of two prisoners, that they
were playing chips for drinks. Is that
gambling, then? I want to read a case
in point the case of Hutchlns vs. the
People, reported In 39 New York:
The court has nothing to do with the pro
priety of the statute. Its duty is to ascertain
and declare its meaning. Gambling Is prohib
ited. All will agree that gambling for a barrel
of beer or a box of cigars Is within the stat
ute. It follows that gambling for a gallon or
less quantity Is equally within It. No excep
tion Is made by the statute on account of the
smallness of the quantity, or the use to which
It Is applied by the winner.
"In the light of that New York decis
ion," proceeded the Judge, "the prisoners
have violated the ordinance against gam
bling, and they can be fined 5200, if need
ha sum tho nrlsoners have been in jail
several nights, and this Is the first case
of this nature before me since gambling
was declared closed. The prisoners are
therefore fined $5 each."
The fines were paid.
The police afterward said that Judge
Cameron's decision gave the death-blow
to the proposed starting of nlckel-In-the-
slot machines in tnis city.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Murray and Mack at Cordrny'.
Murray ana Mack, the original Irish
comedians of "Flnnlgan's Ball" fame, will
be the attraction at Cordray's next week,
presenting their latest laughing success,
"Shooting the Chutes." The play is a
musical extravaganza from the pen of
George H. Emerick, assisted by every
one of the company. It Is an airy trifle,
with a semblance of plot on which hangs
a string of bright and interesting spe
cialties. The production is a novel one
for a comic play, and actually has an
effect, a ludicrous one, of course, which
consists of the unusual. The production,
from every standpoint. Is said to be ex
ceedingly meritorious, and an unusually
large company is employed; beautiful
costumes and special scenery, mechanical
and electrical effects, a dazzling chorus
of beauty, and all that goes to make a
good, enjoyable entertainment, are prom
ised. "The Ansel of the Alley."
Next week at the Metropolitan, starting
Sunday, Sullivan and Harris will present
their great melodrama. "The Angel of
the Alley." It is a mammoth production,
and contains some entirely novel features.
The piece is built around the adventures
of a young Army officer who is lured into
an underground gambling resort in New
York. Careful reproductions of New
York streets and alleys were made by

and some remarkably good acting Is done.
A number of popular songs are neatly In
troduced by several pretty girls. In fact,
as a bright, interesting melodrama, "The
Angel of the Alley" Is the most popular
one out this season, and has scored suc
cesses wherever presented. Mr. Theodore
Kremer, the author, has achieved a great
triumph in this latter play, and considers
It one of his happiest efforts.
Theatrical Novelty.
A decided novelty in the line of the
atrical organization Is the New York
Oriental .Opera and Dramatic Company,
which comes to the Marquam Grand
Monday and Tuesday, February 11 and
12, in that its repertoire includes opera
and drama, both of which are put on
and played equally well. The company
Is headed by A. Tanzman, a comedian
who was a favorite In Portland some
nine years ago. His support includes
Miss Henrietta White, soprano, and P.
H. Lent, tenor. The company through
out is said to be composed of people of
above average ability. On the opening
night of the Portland engagement the
company will present the four-act comic
opera, "The Witch." The bill for Tues
day evening is the comedy-drama.

State Mining Bureau.
PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 5.-(To the Ed
itor.) In regard to the State Mining
Bureau, I for one would be much pleased
If the Legislature would appropriate suf
ficient moneys to maintain such a bu
reau, with an examiner of mines. From
what I understand of the proposed bill I
and the amount that, will be asked for
per year, it will not be enough to main
tain an inspector and bureau. According
to the bill as I understand it will ask
for $15,000 a year for the whole 'thing, and
only proposes to give the examiner $250
per month, yet he is to visit all the
mines and camps of the state once a year

$1.00
and pay his own expenses and make,
reports and see that all mines are safely
worked so as to protect the miners, etc.
This state cannot get a man that can
fill the requirements as proposed by the
bill, as no practical mining man can
travel and pay his expenses for the
amount stated and have anything left.
I have been all over this state and in
about all the camps a number of times,
and I know It cannot be done for that
money. I think, if such a law should
pass as contemplated, it would be "a.
very hard formation" for the examiner
to "go against." B. O. SMITH.

Quebec Will Pnt In Mill.
BAKER CITY, Feb. 5. After the Que
bec mine was purchased by Messrs. J.
W. Carr, S. N. Farris, Sr., and S. N Far
rls, Jr., samples of the ore were sent to
some of the owners' friends in Kentucky
and Tennessee as gifts. Yesterday, a
communication was received from an as
sayer who received one of the specimens,
stating that he had analyzed the ore, and
found It to run exceedingly high in free
gold. This is another evidence of tha
good ore found in the Quebec, which 13
regarded as one of the most promising
properties In the Alamo district. Tho
present owners are to pay $40,000 for tha
Quebec and High Ore, the two claims ly
ing together. A mill will be erected on
the -property in the early Spring. Nego
tiations are now under way for 10 stamps
and other necessary equipment.
