THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1902.
FREE BATH PLANS
Recommendations from Mr.
Samuel to Association.
CAN BE BUILT FOR. $5000
After Extensive Trip, Boston Modclu
Are Believed to Be Most Suitable
for Erection In Portland, and
" Can Be Ready May 1.
An Interesting repprt will be made, to
the Portland Free Bath Association at Its
next meeting by L. Samuel, manager of
the Equitable Life Insurance Company
in Oregon. Mr. Samuel returned Sunday
night from the East, and while absent he
investigated free swimming baths main
tained in Boston and St Paul, and learned
much concerning their operation that will
be of value in the establishment of simi
lar institutions in Portland. The free
baths of Eastern cities have proven of in
estimable good to the public, and munici
pal authorities have found the results
more than compensated for the expense
of construction and maintenance.
Mr. Samuel will recommend to the local
association the adoption of plans carried
out in the accompanying cuts, with some
modifications to correct defects which
have become apparent from practical
operation of the baths. Many of the pub
lic baths Mr. Samuel inspected were
found undesirable for Portland because
of existing local conditions, and limita
tions of the funds which will be at the
disposal of the association. However, for
$5000, the amount which will be raised
here, Mr. Samuel believes that one large
central bath can be erected this year,
and later two smaller and less expensive
baths can be built, one each at the north
and south ends of the city.
In an interview with an Oregonian re
porter yesterday Mr. Samuel said:
"From what I learned during my East
ern trip I am more than ever convinced
that much good will result from the es
tablishment of free swimming baths here
in Portland. Not only will we accomplish
the first end aimed at, to provide safe
bathing places for young men and boys,
-where the danger of drowning will be
minimized. If not absolutely eliminated,
but the establishment of such Institutions
vvlll prove of Incalculable benefit from a
sanitary standpoint. While In the East I
visited the free baths In several cities,
and paid particular attention to those In
operation in St. Paul and Boston, two
cities in which development Of the public
bath has reached Its highest degree of
efficiency.
"At St. Paul the baths are stationary,
and are reached from the city by a
bridge to the peninsula extending out
into the Mississippi River, where the
bathhouses are located. The use of the
baths Is absolutely free to citizens of St,
Paul and members of their families, the
only charge authorized . being for bath
suits, soap and towels, for all of which
a charge of 5 cents was Imposed last
year. Despite the fact that a laundry Is
maintained on the premises. It was found
that the revenue from this source did not
meet the expense of providing accommo
dations, and it has been decided to raise
the charge to 10 cents. But the larger
part of patrons of the baths bring their
own suits and towels, and to them there
Is no fee whatever.
"Last year's statistic? show that over
D00.OO0 persons took advantage of the
baths, and the number is Increasing stead
ily. For a small amount a locker Is fur
nished the bather. No key Is given out,
the authorities finding that the loss
through keys not being returned reached,
in the aggregate, a considerable sum. In
consequence keys are left with the at
tendant, and the bather Is given a num
bered metal disc, attached to a chain
which he wears around his neck while in
the water, and upon the surrender of
which the attendant will unlock the com
partment. The baths are optn every day,
Sundays Included, during the season from
6 AM. to' 11 P. M. Rules are rigorously
enforced againbt the use or sale of in
toxicating liquors on the grounds, and
obscene language and conduct results in
expulsion. Particular care is taken that
persons afflicted with loathsome or con
tagious diseases shall not gain entrance
to the baths, and other precautions hav
ing in view the comfort and safety of the
public are enforced. A. competent In
structor of swimming is continually In
the baths and his services are free to all.
"Boston has probably spent more money
on its public baths than any other city in
the country, and results have more than
satisfied the authorities responsible for
the expenditures. Nearly 3.000,000 persons
patronized the baths last year, and tho
Weary "Willie with his filth and tatters
has the same privileges as the more re
spectable member of the community. The
Dover-street bath is undoubtedly the fin
est Institution of Its kind In the world.
It cost 5123,000, and the Interior is elabor
ately finished In marble, which Is kept
scrupulously clean. Hot and cold shower
baths are at the disposal of patrons with
out cost, and for those too feeble to take
the showers, porcelain tubs are provided.
The bath which I shall recommend for
adoption here, and reproduced In the
picture, was located on the Charles River,
near Harvard bridge. It is a floating
structure, and can be moved from place I
to place without difficulty. The modi- I
fications I shall suggest to the Portland I
Free Bath Association will chiefly con
cern the roof, which as will be seen in the
picture, almost completely covers the
swimming pool.
"Health authorities and sanitary ex
perts have decided that sunshine is as
desirable and essential as clean water in
the operation of a public bath, and I
shall, therefore, recommend that the
building be roofless. The arrangement
for floating is simple and inexpensive.
Instead of being constructed on the prin
ciple of a barge, support Is had from a
series of air-tight oil barrels or kegs,
which can be hauled out of the water
and repaired every year if necessary. A
floor beneath the water limits the depth,
and while water from the river will be
constantly flowing through, possibility of
drowning accidents will be absolutely pre
vented. The Boston bath is SO feet long,
which I do not think will be sufficient
to acommodate the Portland public 1
would suggest rather that it be 125 feet
long and 50 feet wide, which will permit
300 people to use the baths at the same
time. It has been found in St. Paul that
the charge of 5 cents was not sufficient,
and therefore 1 should think it advisable
to charge 10 cents here for bathsult,
towels, soap and locker.
"I think that such a structure could be
built for $5000, and it' can be built In time
to be used at the commencement of this
season. May 15 of this year. My personal
idea was that the large bathhouse could
be located In thecenter of the city at a
point easy of access, io-all. "Next year,
when more funds will be at our disposal,
I shall advocate the establishment of two
smaller baths, one at the north end and
one at the south end of the city. As will
be seen from the picture the cost of these
auxiliary baths will b slight, the larger
part of the expense being the salary of
attendants and the necessary cost of
maintenance. With this equipment of
free baths, Portland will be adequately
care'd for in this respect, and the expense
entailed will be considerably less in pro
portion than has been spent in other
cities."
Chnrcli Will Enlarge.
There will-be a congregational meeting
of the First Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, East Twelfth and East Taylor
Blrcots Thursday evening, January 23,
to take steps toward securing more
ground for the enlargement of the church
and for the erection of a manse. The
Sunday school room, on tne east side or
the auditorium, is too small to accom
modate the growing school. It is desired
to enlarge this portion of the building.
By acquiring another lot alongside the
church there will be room for the addi
tion and also for the erection of a manse.
FINE IMMIGRATION PROSPECT
Movement Xot Forced, But Entirely
Voluntary Xev X. P. Equipment.
A. M. Cleland, of St. Paul, assistant
general passenger and ticket agent of the
Northern Pacific Railway, arrived in Port
land yesterday morning on the O. R. & N.
train from Spokane. He Is on a tour
through all the Northern Pacific territory
looking into business conditions and fa
miliarizing himself with the country and
its demands. He will remain in Portland
until tomorrow and will then visit Puget
Sound and return to the East.
Mr. Cleland expects a great movement
of settlers Into the Pacific Northwest next
Spring by reason of the cheap rates that
have been announced for March and April.
The Northern Pacific, he said, would sell
tickets to Portland as usual, giving the
holders the privilege of stopping off at
any station west of Hope, Idaho, and at
as many stations as they should choose,
to the limit of 10 days at each place. "Of
course, if our competitors put the cheap
rates into Western Oregon we shall also
do it," said he; "but we will have nothing
to say about stop-overs south of Portland.
We cannot govern those matters beyond
our own lines.
"The movement of bona fide homeseekers
and settlers last year was yvcry satisfacAj
lory ana an indications point to even oet
ter results this year. The conditions are
unusual. Frequently the migration "otiset
tlers arises irom crop failures or other
untoward circumstances that reduce the
homeseeker's means and force him to
look for a better land in the West they
always look to the West for better land.
But now everybody Is prosperous. The
people who now move West to better their
condition, to find a more genial climate
and a more fruitful soli, are by no means
dead broke. They have money and know
how to make good use of it. They come
among people who are also prosperous
and disposed to give them, a kindly wel
come. The newcomers are not forced by
stress of circumstances to take the first
location offered within their means. They
look about until they find just what suits
them. Then they settle down contentedly,
keep themselves In easy circumstances and
establish ncmes that are a fclesslng to
themselves and a credit to the country.
This movement is exceptional In this re
spect. The cheap rates of the past three
or four years gave everybody an oppor
tunity to make personal examination of
the great Pacific Northwest, and these ex
aminations are now bearing fruit
"The Northern Pacific is keeping abreast
of the demands of the times In the way
of Improved passenger accommodations.
We shall soon have a lot of brand-new-cars
for the North Coast Limited. They
will come fresh from the Pullman shops
and will be the very finest specimens of
the car-builder's art These new Pull
mans will have much extra space in the
smoking-rooms, and the ladles' toilet
rooms will not only be more superbly fur
nished than any now on tne line, but will
also have an abundance of space allotted
to them. This novelty will be appreciated
by all women who travel."
It will take 10 of the new Pullmans to
equip the North Coast limited trains be
tween Portland and St Paul. These are
expected to be ready for sertlce about

An Attack of PseHiaonla Warded Of,
"Some time ago my daughter caught a I

her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy accord

was'well and able to go to school. I have
used this remedy In my family for the past
seven years, and have never known It to
fall," says James Prendergast, merchant,
Annato Bay, Jamaica, West India Islands.
The pains In the chest Indicated an ap

by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It coun

Q,Icl and Bold Work
Last Week.
Brisk detective work on the part ot
Detectives Snow and Kerrigan led to the
arrest yesterday of two alleged highway
men, Bennett Thompson and Charles
Wright, charged with having held up
Chester Fry and Dr. C E. Hawke last
Saturday, and a farmer named Venn and
a Chinese gardener last Friday. The net
amount of plunder obtained in these four
robberies Is: Two watches, a medical In
strument, and $5S in, money. Wright
says:
"I did these four jobs with Thompson,
and we split up the money. We were part
ners in everything, but we would not
have stooped so low If we had remained
sober We were drinking all the time."
Thompson says: "I was out drinking
with Wright but I did not hold up any-

body." The police suspect that the pris
oners were implicated also In the Slavin
road robberjps.
Snow and Kerrigan happened to be on
duty at the police station last Saturday
night when Chester Fry reported that
two robbers had held him up on the
Northrup-Etreet bridge, near the Union
Terminal depot, but as he had not car
ried any money the footpads went empty
handed away. Thirty-five minutes after
wards Dr. Hawke reported that two high
waymen had attacked him on East Third
street and Holliday avenue, and had
robbed him of $23 In money, a medical
instrument and his watch and chain.
Both victims agreed that the two robbers
were young men, that one of them was
about 6 feet tall, the other shorter and
that they both wore long overcoats and
light colored slouch hats. This was ail
the clew the detectives had to work on,
and they started on the- trail. They
searched saloons and lodging-houses all
over town until after 2 o'clock Sunday
morning, without success, and then went
home to snatch a few hours' sleep. Sun
day they worked all day and night, and
were busy looking for the long and short
man yesterday afternoon, shortly after
3:30 o'clock, when Thompson and Wright
passed them at Third and Burnslde
streets. Both strangers wore slouch hats
and long overcoats. When Wright saw
that the detectives' eyes were on him, he
started, and made a movement toward
a back pocket as If to draw a weapon.
He and Thompson whispered together, and
then they suddenly separated. Wright ran
into a Third-street saloon closely pur
sued by Kerrigan, while bis mate tore
down Burnslde street towards the river,
pursued by Snow. Thompson was a poor
runner and he was soon caught and ar
rested by Snow, who waited at the cor
ner to see what luck Kerrigan had.
Kerrigan's Irish blood was up. and the
way he tore through that saloon upset
various gentlemen who were engaged in
looking through the bottoms of beer glass
es. 'Wright had not waited to take a drink
in passing, but be made for the shelter of
a rear shed, where he waited for the de
tective. "You come along, young fel
low," said Kerrigan.
"I ain't agoln'," growled Wright, grab
bing what afterward proved to be a load
ed revolver" In his right coat pocket.
"Drop that gun, or I'll give you a taste
of this," said Kerrigan, producing his
clubstlck. Wright's eyes glittered menac
ingly, but Kerrigan sprang at the young
man's right hand and held it with a
vicelike grip, afraid all the time that
Wright .would shoot through his overcoat
pocket
"You're breaking my arm!" yelled
Wright, and Kerrigan drew the prisoner's
right hand, grasping a loaded revolver.
Wright saw that the game was up, as the
revolver passed Into tlje shadow of Ker
rigan's capacious pocket, and he whined:
"I'll go quietly. Mister."
"Baby!" said Kerrigan, with contempt
So prisoner and detective went- down
Burnslde street where they met Thomp
son, who was being .guarded by Snow, and
the strange quartet walked to the police
station. The prisoners were placed In
separate cells, and after being questioned
by the detectives they denied all knowl
edge of the hold-ups. Then they had a
conference with Chief McLauchlan and
the two detectives, when a sharp cross-
SOUTH 13VDS OF THE CITY.
I examination took place. The Chief after-
ward said: "Wright admits holding up
Chester Fry and Dr. Hawke, last Satur
day." Dr. Hawke was sent for, and he
unhesitatingly Identified Wright and
Thompson as the two men who had
robbed him. Afterward Wright admitted
being implicated with Thompson in rob
bing Venn and the Chinese gardener last
Friday afternoon, on the Barnes road near
Swedevllle. Venn wae robbed of $25. and
the Chinaman was separated from $10 In
money and a watch.
An Oregonian man Interviewed Wright
In his cell last night Wright said that
he is about 23 years old, stands 6 feet 2
Inched tall, and weighs ISO pounds.
"Did you and Thompson do these four
hold-ups?" was asked.
"Yes," said Wright, hanging his head.
"We were drinking and didn't know exact
ly what we were JoIng."
"Where do you belong?"
"I wa$ born in, Portland, and I Uved
AS
wlth my folks on the East Side, on Steph
ens street How long have I known
Thompson? About a month or two. I
first met him in a Third-street saloon, and
we got to talking about how easy money
could be made in holding up folks. I tell
you, we got boozed (drunk) and went on
a tear."
"What became of the- money you made
In doing these Jobs?"
"Oh. Thompson kept the biggest part
for himself. He gave me the smaller end
of it We spent the money on drink."
"The Slavin road robber is just another
fellow like you. He Is tall, thin, and
wears a slouch hat and a long overcoat"
suggested the reporter.
"I was not in the Slavin road busi
ness. Don't try to soak me with all the
Jobs done this past year." replied Wright.
"Suppose one of your victims had fought
you? Would you Jiave shot him?"
"Don't think so. But there's no telling'
said Wright, slowly. He then asserted
that his companion had leveled the re
volver at Dr. Hawke, and that he had
not kept an account of the proceeds
of the various robberies. "The first
hold-up I ever was in was the Barnes
road affair. I'm a barber by occupation,
and I worked In a shop on First street,
near Madison. Yes, I'm a union barber.
School? I attended Stephens School, and
I used to co to church when I was a kid,
on the East Side. Wright is not my real

name. Never mind what my real name 13.
I don't want to disgrace the folks."
Thompson was then Interviewed In a
downstairs cell. He Is about 5 feet 10
inches tall, weighs about 170 pounds, and
is -l years oiu.- e saia: l aia nor, noia i
up anybody. I admit having been drink
ing with the other fellow. Wright, but I
never robbed anybody. I was sober enough
to know what I was doing all the time,
too. I have never been In trouble before.
By occupation I am a steamboat employe,
and I have worked on several of the river
boats, especially for the O. R. & N."
"Let's feel your hands," suddenly said
Sergeant Church, grasping Thompson's
right hand.
"Why," said 'the sergeant "your hand Is
too smooth for a steamboatman. You have
not worked. Don't tell me."
"Well," said the prisoner, after think
ing a moment "I haven't worked for a
month. I've been drinking with Wright
How long have I known him? Oh, three
or four years."
"Where were you Saturday night, from
8 to 10 o'clock?"
"Drinking in a Third-street saloon from
7 until 12 o'clock," stated Thompson, nam
ing a well-known Third-street resort "I
was on the lounge there asleep about 12
o'clock."
"You were not I was searching that
saloon along with .others, after the hold-up
fellows, and I was there about midnight,
and did not see you," asserted Church.
Thompson's Jaw fell, and he refused to
say any more, except again to assert that
lie had not been engaged In any hold-up
work.
Dr. Hawke's watch was recovered last
night In the pawnshop, where Wright said
he and Thompson placed It.

Left Arm Torn From Body, and the
Right Broken In Logging
Camp Accident.
The 525.000 damage suit of Max Relter
against John Stewart and H. L. Powers,
loggers, doing business as Stewart &
Powers, In a camp near Marshland, in
Columbia County, was placed on trial yes
terday before Judge Cleland and a jury.
Relter was employed shoveling gravel.
He complains that on September 14, 1900.
while he was walking along the skid road
of the defendants, intending to go to a
barrel and get a drink of water, he was
caucht by the wire cable and thrown with
great force to the ground, and his left i
arm was torn from his body. His right
arm, he states, was also broken In two
places, and he was otherwise Injured.
Relter testified that the cable was start

with great force as It struck him; also
that It was not furnished with proper guy
ropes; that the Iocs attempted to be
dragged were not properly fastened, and
that the engine was stationed at a wrong
poinu
The defense is that Relter was guilty
of contributory negligence, us he had no
right to walk along- the skid road, and had
been warned not to do so. It is further
contended that the appliances were prop
erly constructed. V. K. Strode and Henry

Convicted Before J ml pre Sears
Of
Selllnff Liquor Illegally.
William Grimes was tried and convicted
by a jury In Judge Sears' court yester
day on a charge of selling liquor without
a license at Montavilla, and will, have to
pay a fine of $200, which Is the lowest pen
alty provided by law. In default of pay-
l ment he will be committed to Jail. Hor
atio Gabel. who was an unwilling witness,
testified that he bought beer at Grimes
place. He- said he bought a gallon, and
then called for It a glass at a time, as he
wanted It He said bottles of beer in the
place bore the name of Welnhard.
Before the trial began Gabel, In conver
sation with the District Attorney, ex
pressed unwillingness to testify, and said
he remembered having drank root beer
at the place. District Attorney Chamber
lain calleu Gabel'8 attention to statements
previously made by him regarding the
case, and told him If he did not testify
as he had done before, there would be
trouble. Grimes denied he ever sold lager
beer in less quantities than one gallon,
and said he sold root beer by the bottle
or glass. Henry Wagner, of Welnhard's
Brewery, was called and testified that
the brewery does not bottle root beer.
W. T, Vaughn, attorney for Grimes,
brought out the fact that Grimes has been
refused a license. This is said to be be
cause the people at Montavilla remon-'
strated against its issuance.

RAZOR THIEF FOUND GUILTY.
Smith HadZealon Attorney, bnt the
Evidence Was Stronpr.
James Smith, a middle-aged man, was
tried and convicted before Judge George
and a Jury yesterday on a charge of bur
glary. In entering the rooms of the Y. M.
C. A. building and stealing a number of
razors from the barber shop contained
therein, the property of C. A. Williams.
Smith was arrested by Police Officer
Wilkinson, and the razors were found In
one of his coat pockets.
The court appointed A King Wilson, at
torney, to defend Smith. Mr. Wilson Is
an active member of the Young Men's
Christian Association, but this did not
prevent him from making a hard fight to
acquit his client. He objected to almost
everything done by Mr. Manning, who was
prosecuting the case, and remarked at one
f.tage of the proceedings that he was not
going to allow the defendant to be rail
road Into the penitentiary; that he had
been appointed to defend the man, and In
tended to do so. After the evidence for
the state was all In, Mr. Wilson attacked
the sufficiency of the Information, con
tending that It contained no allegation
of intent of the defendant to steal. Mr.
Wilson argued that this was a fatal er
ror, and that Smith ought to be dis
charged. Judge George overruled the motion.

Smith, in his own -defense, testified that
he entered the Y. M. C. A. rooms about
9 o'clock in the evening, and remained
there until midnight He said he fell
asleep en a lounge. He failed to say any
thing about razors. On cross-examination
Mr. Manning asked him If he felt any
razors In his pdeket when he woke up, or
if there were any razors flying in the air.
Mr. Wilson objected to the question, and
Judge George sustained the objection, say
ing: "This Is not a seance, and we don't
care to hear anything about razors flying
around In the air." The jury returned a
verdict of guilty after a brief deliberation.

FAVORS FOR SOLDIERS.
How Railroads Get PatrorniRe of
Discharged Men Competition Brlslc.
There is lively competition for the busi
ness of carrying discharged soldiers from
Vancouver Barracks to their homes in the
East More than a dozen expert railroad
men are at work, but the results are said
to be very one-sided, which causes more
or leta grumbling on the other side.
Some time ago lines selling tickets to
soldiers discharged from Fort Canby in
troduced the practice of absorbing the
local tariff from Fort Canby to Portland.
From this it was a short and easy step to
allow every soldier a rebate of $2 50. with
out asking whether he came from Van
couver or from Fort Canby. The Van
couver man was thus put about $2" to the
good. This practice became so annoying
tha the railroad men doing business in
Portland signed an agreement not to ab
sorb anything on business that "drifts"
Into Portland. This was designed to cover
the soldier business from Vancouver. That
business must Inevitably drift into Port
land, because there Is no ticket office In
Vancouver, and the railroads were not to
be permitted to carry the passenger from
Vancouver for the same price they would
charge for carrying him from Portland.
The passenger must first get to Portland
on his own money, then buy a ticket and
go East.
Then the Northern Pacific, the O. R. &
N. and the Burlington began doing favors
for the soldiers about to be discharged,
advancing them money on their deposit
books and on their final papers, the money
to be paid back when tho soldier should
close up his affairs with the Government
and get his due. This accommodation
gave the soldiers something to spend be
fore they could settle with the Govern
ment, and the railroad man granting it
usually secured the soldier for a customer.
The Rio Grandes followed with the offer
of reduced rates for meals In dining cars
half-price to soldiers. Other lines "saw"
the Rio Grandes' Inducement, and most
of them are now offering the same advan
tage. The lines so situated that they
cannot accommodate the soldiers with ad
vances of money or offer dining rates are
suffering In the competition. They say
it is not legitimate railroad business to
advance money on the soldier's papers,
and that the cut rate on meals amounts to
cutting the price of transportation about
$4, which Is a serious offense.
About 50 men have gone East from Van
couver in the past month. Three hun
dred will be discharged there in the com
ing 50 days. Then a detachment will
come down, from Alaska to be mustered
out at the barracks, and some 600 more
short-term men will be sent up from San
Francisco to be discharged at Vancouver.
All this will give the railroads good pick
ing, and they will put forth extraordinary
efforts to capture the business. They are
more eager for this sort of trade than
for the regular business, for the regular
volume rolls along just the same, and this
extra comes In as "velvet" It Is regard
ed as all clear profit It is not hard to
find charges of Illegitimate practice now,
and the promise Is made with some free
dom that rates will be In bad shape when
the soldier movement from Vancouver
Barracks reaches Its height.
