Meet a Strang er and Hauls Him to , Jail-neer Tale of a Tenderloin Bravrl. The aftermath at an attempt to rescue a prisoner from a policeman at Second and Burnsldestreets, last Saturday night, came up at the Municipal Court yester day, -when W. Wyland was accused of "attempting to rescue a prisoner from an officer," onthe complaint of Policeman Carpenter. It -was charged that Carpen ter arrested a man named Rlggs in a Burnslde-street saloon, and that such a disturbance arose on the part of "Wyland and 'several of his friends that the officer was compelled to let Rlggs 'go. Monday night. Carpenter arrested Frank W. Bar ton, thinking that the young man -was the absent Riggs. and It Is charged that he severely struck Barton In the face be fore releasing him. He fourid dut that he had arrested the -wrong man. Barton, $ THE LAST DAY TO REG ISTER. This Is the last day to regis ter. The "books in the office of the County Clerk close at 5 P. M. today. If you have neg lected your duty as a citizen, and have so far failed to qual ify to vote on June 2, you have just one more chance; and that chance you must seize before 5 P. M. today. If you are not registered, and if you still "want to vote, you must go to great trouble In order to get the necessary six free holders to sign an affidavit Therefore, go to the County Clerk's office today. Take a little time and trouble today In order to avoid annoyance and delays hereafter. received Information Monday night that he -was around Second and Burnslde streets. I -went down there, and -while waiting for Rlggs to pass a young man -whom I now know to be Barton passed. I stopped him, for his resemblance to Biggs is vers close, and asked him his name. He said his name was Barton, but thinking he was really the man I was after, I asked him to come with me to the police station. As we walked along 1 asked him for some information con cerning himself, where he worked, etc, and he would not give It. Feeling vexed at the manner in which the crowd abused me last Saturday, I lost my temper, and I am sorry to say I struck him. with my open hand in the mouth. He had made a break to get away, and I put the bracelets on his wrists. Arrived at the police station I got a man who knows the real Rlggs to see the young man, and this witness told me I had got the wrong party. I immediately expressed my regret to Barton for what had happened, and we shook hands, and I supposed there would "be no more about it. I did not mean to injure Barton in any way." WILL NEW EXCHANGE GO? who Is employed by the TV. P. Fuller Company, says that he and his friends desire to see Carpenter punished for what he did, and threatens to bring the mat ter before the District Attorney's office and apply for a warrant against -Carpenter. Five witnesses were examined" yesterday at the hearing in the Municipal Court, in the case against "Wyland. He was defend ed by Lawyer Petrain. G. "W. Evans testified: "I saw Carpenter take hold of a man, and then "Wyland took hold of Carpenter and abused him. I heard "Wyland say that no officer could take the prisoner to jail, as he was the prisoner's cousin. This -ras in front of Erickson's saloon, and there was quite a scuffle. A large crowd gathered. "Wyland waved his hands at the officer, but I would not "say whether the officer had hold of the prisoner. "A man 'Whose name I don't know (Riggs) started to make a disturbance in my saloon at Third and Burnside streets, and I sent for Carpenter to eject him," stated E. "W. Roberts. "Wyland was try ing to get the man under arrest out of the house. Carpenter took hold of the man and placed him under arrest, but the prisoner showed signs of fight." "I was called into Roberts' saloon. Third and Burnside streets, and I saw two men holding Riggs down," testified Policeman Carpenter. "Riggs called me a foul name. Wyland said that I could not take Rlggs. and he made a move to ward me. I told "Wyland if he struck me I Would send him to the morgue. I start ed with the prisoner to the patrol box, and a big crowd gathered. Policeman Hill came to my assistance. The crowd surged "around roe so violently that I was obliged to give the prisoner Rlggs to some men who promised to hold him for me. But he got away. "Wyland said: 'You cannot take me.' He followed me for about 150 feet, abusing me." "Then why did you not arrest him?" asked Mr. Petrain. "I did not want to arrest him Saturday right, because I knew I could get him almost any other night," replied Carpen ter. "But why did you not arrest him at first'" "I did not want to agitate the crowd." "Did you have on your .uniform and star?" "Yes, sir." J. H. Roy. 93 North Seventh street, tes tified: "I saw a prisoner under arr.est, and a policeman had him In charge. "Wy land was endeavoring to incite the crowd to take the prisoner away from the po liceman. I tried to help the policeman, as the crowd was'so dense that the po liceman could not take along his pris oner. It was like a riot. "Wyland waved his arms, and yelled to the crowd to come on. ,1 haven't heard anything against "Wy land, but it is right that every American citizen should protect" "The court recdgnlzes your right, sir," interrupted Municipal Judge Cameron. "Wyland said to Carpenter: 'You are not man enough to take me. I am just as good a man as you are, if not better. Take off your star and I will fight you." "Wyland was nol drunk," testified Po liceman Hill. Here Mr. Petrain .gave notice that he would make a motion for a nonsuit to day, Thursday, on the ground that there could be no prosecution for a case of this kind under the section under which the matter is brought, section 1837, Oregon Cede. The section referred to says: "If any person shall rescue or attempt to res cue any prisoner from any officer or per &on having the legal custody of said pris oner," etc The penalty, upon conviction. Is not less than two years or not more than 10 years in the Penitentiary, or not less than three months and not more than one year in the County Jail.. Here is the story told against Police man Carpenter by Frank W. Barton: "I am 23 years old, and am employed by "W. P. Fuller & Co. "When the disturbance arose around Second and Burnside streets Saturday night, about 10:30 o'clock, I was not near the place. I was up town. Tues day night, about 10:15 o'clock, I was pass ing Second and Burnside streets, 'when Policeman Carpenter came up and said: 'What Is your name?' I told him my name was Barton. He said to come along with him, and he placed handcuffs on my wrists. He pulled them tightly, and they hurt me. At Second and Pine streets, he said: 'Where do you work? I asked him why he wanted to know, and he then struck me on my upper lip, se verely cutting it inside. He took me to the police station and to a room there. Afterward a man, I suppose he was a witness, came with Carpenter and looked at me, and shook his head. Then Car penter took me into another room and told me that it had all been a mistake, as he thought I was Riggs, and he re leased me. He offered to shake hands and call It square." The charges of assault and battery made by Barton against Policeman Car penter were repeated to Chief of Poilce McLaucblan, and the latter said: 'T am sorry this affair occurred. Carpenter wished to arrest Riggs for that affair last Saturday night, and when he met this boy Barton he thought he had Rlggs, as the two look very much alike. The officer had a right to bring in the young man as a suspect. Probably had Barton told his name, address and occupation to the policeman, whert asked to do so, there wi-ul.y not have been any trouble." On being interviewed Policeman Car penter said: "I wished to arrest Rlggs tor what took place Saturday night, and Front-Street Brokers Refuse to Sell to Xcw Market. Front street has been agog In the past few day3 about the new produce ex change. The enterprise Is backed by a stock corporation, whose capital has been raised among retail grocers, country mer chants and dealers In Oregon City, Asto ria and Vancouver. Officers of the cor poration report 'that stock subscriptions now amount to over $8000. In the past few days the company has been trying to get a location In which to do business. Its offers for a particular store raised the rent to its tccupant from $23 to $50 a month, so It is said, and, con sequently that gentleman does not have a warm welcome for the enterprise. The new market will meet with a cold recep tion and sharp competition from estab lished produce wholesalers, who look upon It as an invasion into their own territory, since its stockholders are retailers, bent upon taking business from old channels of trade. Now the question is whether brokers will have any dealing with the new mar ket. The officers of the company say the brokers have flatly refused to sell it goods, and the brokers themselves give evidence that this Is so. D. F. "Wagner, a prominent broker, said yesterday that he positively refused, under any circum stances, to have dealings with the ex change. His reason was that the stock company Is composed of retailers who desire by subterfuge to get goods inde pendently of the regular wholesale pro duce merchants. "I refuse to sell to anybody but job bers," he said. "I don't wish to affront the Interests of jobbers oy selling to re tailers. The new company Is made up of retailers. I flatly refuse to do business with them." All the wholesalers that were Inter viewed denied that they had instigated the brokers to this action. "So far as we know, the brokers will furnish them goods," said a wholesaler. "Business Is business, and the man who has money gets the goods." Encouraged by this to go further, a re porter said to a second broker: "I sup pose the Produce Exchange will be able to buy from you If it has the money." "Not so sure about that." ""Why?" "The Produce Exchange people are re tailers. I don't sell to retailers." Dan Kellaher, president of the com pany, said that the new market would get Its supplies In spite of all obstacles. He said goods always came to places where there was money to pay forthetn. "There Is no monopoly In the sources of supply," he added. A wholesaler said he would be glad to welcome the new people,, "because It will be good education for them, and they will learn a whole lot of things. All is not gold that glitters," he said, signifi cantly, "even If It chances to be a gold brick." Another wondered how they were going to stay In business without broken hearts, when they had to pay $500 for a carload of bananas, and half the money was lost In spoiled fruit. Still another said that the market would be surfeited with old stuff from the country which farmers could not consign. The new project does not, however, seem to be discouraged by the opposition It Is receiving. Meanwhile, everybody is won dering what he is going to wonder at next. TO ELECT NEW RESIDENT Mnltnomnh Club Directors to Choose Successor to F. A. Xltchy. The Multnomah Athletic Club will have a new president. F. A. Nltchy, who now holds that position, is constrained to re sign by his business Interests, which call him frequently from the city. In order to insure the success of the Multnomah Carnival next September, It is necessary that the president of the club devote a great deal of time to the enterprise. Mrs Nitchy is unable to do this on account of his business. The directors of the club will meet to- i P& iiPlMMr 1 F. A. Tiltchy Rcslsns as President of Multnomah. Club. night to elect a new President. C. F. Swi pert has been mentioned for the office, but thus far has been averse to bocoming a. candidate. J. N. Teal has also been spoken of for the place, and so have "W. M. Cake and Dan J. Moore. The carnival will be held early next September. E. "W. Rowe, who will super Intend the carnival, is now In the East, arranging for attractions and picking up information. The intention of the man agement of the Club Is to cover the scope of the Industrial expositions held here every Autumn and to add many spectacu lar effects. The displays will cover Mult nomah field, and Chapman street in front of the club, and perhaps several blocks of Yamhill street. If necessary the Exposition building will be included. "Withal the carnival will be the most bril liant pageant ever seen in the city. Be tween $5000 and $6000 will be required to meet preliminary expenses. Subscriptions to meet this outlay will be solicited from the business men of the city. LOYAL LEGION AT BANQUET Annual Meeting Is Held and Officers Elected.
