Valcoukt Gets Off Eabii.t. "What was
expected happened at the Municipal Court
yesterday, w hen James Valcourt, who Po
licemen Bailey and Gibson say Is common
ly known as a maquereau, was charged
with vagrancy. It was claimed In "Whlte
cbapel, Tuesday, that the case had been
.'arranged," and that Valcourt would es
cape by paying a $25 fine. This was what
actually happened: Valcourt pleaded
guilty to the charge of vagrancy placed
against him and aid: "I was In the city
three or four months ago, and went to
British Columbia, where I was a book
keeper. I returned here about two weeks
ago, and If you let me go I expect to get
work next week." No policemen were
called on to testify against the prisoner,
who was then fined $25 by Municipal Judge
Hogue. The prosecuting officer was Dep
uty City Attorney Fitzgerald. V. T.
Hume, who was said lo be Valcourfs law
yer, did not appear. City Ordinance -No.
90S8, when it is enforced, provides a fine of
not less than $10 nor more than $100, or
imprisonment of not less than five days
nor more than three months. Policemen
say that there is no use arresting any
more "VVhltechapel people of a certain bad
reputation, If they are' allowed to escape
by paying into the Municipal Court a pal
try fine. Under the statutes, a case un
der the state law cannot be made out
against such offenders. They must be
tried before the Municipal Court.
Chinese Boy Taken to Hospital. Spe
cial Officer Hawley, of the Boys' and Girls'
Aid Society, exercised his official powers
In compelling M. G. Han, a Chinese, to
send his 10-year-old eon to St. Vincent's
Hospital, so that his eyesight may be
saved. The boy's eyes were badly injured
on July 4, by the explosion of a bomb. The
attention of Dr. John M. Brooke was
called to the case, and on making an ex
amination he saw that the little fellows
eyes were badly burned. They were mat
urated, with big drops of pus oozing from
them. The parents were informed that
the boy ought to be sent to a hospital,
where he could receive proper care and
skilled treatment, but they positively re
fused to consent. Dr. Brooke, realizing
that the boy would lose his eyes unless
attended to At once, and under favorable
conditions, called In the services of Officer
Hawley, and, together they went to the
house at 146 Second street, where the pa
tient was. Some Chinese women who were
present cried and walled, and said tne
boy could not be taken away, dfficer
Hawley insisted, and exhibited his star,
and threatened to eend for the patrol wag
on. Finally, the father agreed, and the
boy was removed In a hack to the hospl-'
tal, and Dr. Brooke summoned an eye
specialist to attend to the case.
E. G. "Wetzler Home Again. Mr. E. G.
"Wetzler, Superintendent of Malls In the

Fred Byers, accused of the larceny of $5,
on the complaint of Morris Goldstone, was
discharged at the Municipal Court yester
day, for lack of evidence. Municipal

Rocket Stems Through" Roofs. House
holders In the vicinity where the Fourth,
of July fireworks were set off are wonder
ing "how far the authority will permit
celebrators to go in Imperiling the per
sqns and property of citizens without
check. Within one block of the corner of
Grant and Seventh streets roofs were pen
etrated by five of the stems of skyrockets,
and in at least one case' the long sticK
passed so far through the roof that it pro
truded through the plastered celling ot the
kitchen. In the other cases about hall
the length of the stem passed through the
roofs, leaving three feet, more or less, of
a staff outside. In a dozen instances tne
stems were found driven Into the ground
from one to three feet. In any of these
cases the force with which the shaft leu
must have been sufficient to break a skull
or do other deadly Injury, had they landed
right on a person or animal, and it is mar
velous that no greater injury than torn
clothes and bruised arms resulted, when
the size of the crowd is considered. A
stick three-fourths of an inch square and
six feet long, is a rather formidable as
sailant at the end of a fall of several
hundred feet, and especially when the
rocket case, heavy pasteboard weighing
two pounds, fails to break away from its
fastenings on the stem. The stems go up
with the Tockets, and those who set them
off know they must come down. It is
much like firing a rifle over the city on
the theory that no harm will be done
because deliberate aim is not taken.
Beast at Large in. South Portland.
A'6-year-old girl who was returning to her
home on Grant street after taking a music
lesson yesterday noon was followed on
Park and Seventh streets from Jefferson
to Lincoln by a man who sought by offer
ing her candj' and money to entice her
away, first for a street-car ride and then
into a partially finished house at the cor
ner of Seventh and College. The child had
sufficient firmness to withstand his bland
ishments, and finally reached home safely
but In tears, -while the man scudded off
down Lincoln street before he could be
caught. At the house on the corner of
Seventh and College the man made the
little girl stop and wait while he should
go inside to see if anybody was there, but
the moment he disappeared through the
door she 6ped on home, though he over
took her again a few dqors away. An in
vestigation was set on foot, and there
were uncovered several other attempts to
debase children, all probably by the same
man, who was in the custody of the po
lice a few months ago on another charge.
If the very tangible clew now In hand
shall lead to establishing the Identity of
the beast who committed yesterday's of
fense, the father of the child promises
that children will hereafter be free from
harm from that source.
Elks Work Hard for Carnival.
Three committees from the Elks spent a
busy day yesterday, canvassing for the
carnival fund, which, it Is hoped, will be
completed before tonight. Business men
are enthusiastic over the project, and the
committees were stopped several times on
the streets by men who wished to make
subscriptions, and others who wished to
raise those already made. There Is every
reason to believe that the necessary $12,000
will be raised before tonight. A, prominent
Elk said last evening that the net pro
ceeds of the carnival will be used as a
starter of a building fund for Portland
Lodge, 142, B. P. O. E. The lodge owns a
piece of ground 100 feet square on the
northeast comer of Seventh and Stark
streets, where it is proposed to erect a
fine business block, with lodge rooms in
the upper stories. According to the prece
dent established two years ago, a portion
of the gate receipts will be devoted to
charity. The Elks will meet this evening,
when definite plans for the management
of the carnival will be considered.

night, to be shown the curios at the police

NEW COUNTY COURT MEETS
THE ROAD SUPERVISORS PRESENT
BONDS, -WHICH ARE APPROVED.
Attorney John Hall Presents a Claim,
for Services Rendered In Collect
In? Slorfgrasc Taxes.
The new Board of County Commission
ers held Its first regular session yester
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. Judge Web
ster sat in the center of the bench. Com
missioner Barnes on his left and Com
missioner Showers occupied his old place
on the right. The newly elected Road
Supervisora were In attendance and pre
scnted their certificates of election and
bonds, which were approved.
A formal order was made confirming the
appointment made by the new county offi
cials. A petition signed by G. Shepherd and 40
others, for the relocation of a road near
Fajrview, was read, and It was decided to
view the road later on.
Bernard A. Haffey presented a petition
for a license to ee, liquor at Falrview,
which was referred to Judge Webster. A
few matters of minor Importance were
talked over.
An old claim filed by Attorney John Hall
for $1528 for alleged services performed in
collecting certain mortgage taxes: was
called up before the new Board of County
Commissioners yesterday, and the matter
was set for hearing Saturday morning at
10 o'clock.
H. H. Northup, when he was County
Judge, and the other members of the
County -Court, entered into a contract with
Mr. Hall by the terms of which the latter
was to receive 10 per cent of all mort
gage taxes due which he should succeed
in collecting. There was then a very large
amount of such taxes due the county. Mr.
Hall carried a case to. the United States
Supreme Court and obtained a decision to
the effect that mortgages, etc., of for
eign companies doing business here could
be taxed. Afterwards other attorneys ob
tained a decision by the Oregon Supreme
Court that a mortgage tax is a Hen on
the fond, and since considerable of the
mortgage taxes have been collected.
Mr. Hall contends that some suits were
pending which resulted In the taxes being
paid to the county, and that he la entitled
to compensation In these cases. The
statement was made to the Commission
ers yesterday that Mr. Hall expended $700
in carrying the case to the Supreme Court.
County Auditor Pope, as one of his last
official acts, on Monday morning sent to
the County Court a report adverse to Mr.
Hall's claim, as follows:
To the Honorable County Court of Multnomah
County: The claim of iron. John II. Hall for
$1526 for sen-Ices rendered on a contract mado
July 22, 3S05. which was referred to rae. seems
to have once been passed upon by a former
Board of County Commissioners who were pret
ty thoroughly informed as to the facts, and,
after mature consideration, and taking legal
advice as to tho construction to be placed on
the contract referred to. the board declined to
pay It. I do not see. after this lapse of years,
that the conditions have changed.
After gathering what information I have in
regard to the contract and the meaning there
of. I fall to discover that it makes any refer
ence whatever to the defending of suits, brought
against the county, or, in fact, to any proceed
ings had subsequent to the first day of Au
gust. 1690, and for which Mr. Hall now flies
his claim. The commission on collections prior
to that date amounting to $0C3 was duly paid,
as shown in Mr. Hall's statement of account.
If he was employed by the county subsequent
ly to defend certain actions against the county
he does not so state, but on the contrary claims
the service was done under the provisions of
the contract. On June IS, I sent the claim to
the District Attorney with the contract and
asked his opinion. His reply has Just -come to
hand.
I heartily coincide with the District Attor
ney's suggestion that the validity of the claim
should bo established by the Judgment of a
court of competent Jurisdiction before drawing
a warrant on our County Treasurer la payment
thereof.
Wilson Suit on Trial.
The trial of the case of James Wilson
against Guy W. Holmes, which was
transferred from the State Circuit Court
to the United States Circuit Court, was
begun before Judge Bellinger yesterday.
The plaintiff seeks to recover the sum
of $6&X), which he alleges is due him for
services performed in the selection and
sale of timber lands to the defendant dur
ing the years 1900 and 1901. The plaintiff
has entered a general denial to the com
plaint. But a small part of the testimony
was taken, and the trial will be resumed
this morning.
Conrt Notes.
C. A. McKeen has filed an attachment
.suit In the State Circuit Court against
Loren Seward, to recover $300, balance due
on account qf cordwood sold and delivered
at La Center, Wash. The full amount bf
the account was $7500, and It Is alleged
that only $7200 has-been paid.
William M. Ladd, administrator of the
estate of AH. Johnson, deceased, filed a
petition in the County Court yesterday,
stating that It Is advisable to sell certain
real property In Yamhill County. The
claims against the estate amount to $300,
000. The estate comprises much valuable
real property in Portland and elsewhere,
and the petition states that it will be nec
essary to sell all of the property to pay
the indebtedness. Ladd & Tilton are prin

A Famine of Silver.
Des Moines Register.
The Senate has not yet acted on the Hill
bill providing for the coinage of more sub
sidiary silver, first out of the bullion In the
Treasury and then by recolnage of stand
ard silver dollars. This bill was framed
to meet a curious emergency. There Is
barely enough subsidiary silver now to
meet the demands of trade. Not long ago
the demand was greater than the Treas
ury could supply. This condition may re
cur at any time. The Increased demand
of subsidiary coins by the country has
averaged about 15.000.000 a year In the last
five yeara Unless this congress authorizes
increased coinage, the demand will ex
ceed the supply under the present limit
before another Congress can meet.
The history of the limitation of the coin
age of subsidiary silver to $100,000,000 Is
curious. There is no reason on earth why
this kind of coinage should have other
than the natural limit of trade demands.
It Is not legal tender beyond $5 and Is re
deemable at the Treasury whenever pre
sented In sums of $20. It could not pos
sibly outrun legitimate demand. There
never was a limit on the coinage of sub
sidiary silver before the war. When frac-

tional paper currency was Issued, It was
needful, of course, to limit the amount.
When subsidiary silver was substituted for
fractional currency after the war, the act,
curiously enough, followed the language
of the fractional currency act. and estab
lished a limit of $50,000,000. which was In
creased in 1S90 to $100,000,000.
The Senate Is likely to hesitate over
this bill because it seems to limit, the
coinage and circulation of silver dollars.
But it would be great folly to buy bullion
In order to coin subsidiary silver to meet
a public demand, when there are 34,000.000
ounces of silver bullion in the Treasury.
We can make no other use of this bullion
but to coin silver dollars, which the people
db not want and will not have, except In
the form of certificates. It Is estimated
that thl-j Treasury bullion will last seven
or eight years, if the mint is permitted tc
coin out of it all the subsidiary silver
demanded by trade conditions. Af tej that,
the proposed legislation would authorize
recolnage of standard dollars into sub
sidiary silver, as was needed.
WORK OF HOTEL THIEVES
Systematic Methods by Which They
Make Their Calling Profitable.
Washington Times.
"Hotel thieves are dangerous," said an
old Washington detective in talking of
oome recent local operations by crooks of
this claso, "for they always have their
wltsabout them. Operating, as they do.
In hotels and fashionable boarding-houses,
they must be prepared to meet any unex
pected emergency. As a rule they are men
of respectable appearance and of good
address, and to be successful must be cool
and daring. Some of the fellows follow
their vocations in tbe morning, others dur
ing the day, and still others operate under
the shadows of night. In other respects
also they have different methods of -procedure,
"By keeping close watch on the news
papers for hotel arrivals and following
prospective prey from the depots and other
places, they manage to find something to
do whenever necessary. The coming and
going of professionals, particularly female
theatrical stars, foreigners, salesmen,
bankers and bridal parties, and all persons
likely to carry valuable Jewelry and trink
ets or a large amount "of money, in this
way are noted and are objects of special
Importance and solicitude. Until he has
accomplished his purpose tho hotel thief
pursuea his prey from one establishment
to another persistently.
"Much ingenuity in getting into rooms
Is often shown by these men, who, in
working, run all sorts of risks and take
desperate chances. Sometimes he may se
cure entrance Into an apartment without
trouble, while at others it is necessary to
uoa a gimlet and a small piece of crooked
wire to slide 'back the bolt, or a pair of
nippers to turn the key. As many as- a
dozen rooms in the same hotel have been
known to have been plundered In one
night, and no one saw or heard the thief.
The crafty worker can carry his entire
outfit In his vc6t pocket, and can literally
laugh in his sleeve at the common bolts
and bars.
"It takes only a few minutes for an
expert to enter a room, and the door in
most Instances can be opened without
making an' marks on it to show how It
had been forced. On reaching the door, he
takes out a pair of small nippers, a bent
piece of wire and a piece of silk thread,
which are about the only tools eome men
use. By inserting tho "nippers in the key
hole the lock bolt can easily be twisted,
and the bolt can then easily be. located
byJ pressing the door. The piece of thread
Is'then attached to the wire, making a sort
of bow, and It is pushed through the key
hole and carried up or down to the bolt.
The looped head throws the pin Into place,
after which the string Is moved sideways
until it grapples the pin, and then the bolt
Is slid back out of the nosing.
"Where the doors of hotels are protected
by improved locks, the thieves spend their
leisure time 'fixing the rooms. One of
these, known as the 'thumb bolt." needs to
be tampered with beforehand. This is
done by removing tho screws, after which
the thumb plate is taken off and a slot
filed in the spring bar. Then the operator
replaces the plate and screws and marks
on tho outside of tho door, by a slight
Indentation in the woodwork or otherwise,
the exact point at which to strike the
filed slot when the door le locked. It Is
comparatively easy for the expert to 'fix
a room. Often months elapse after a room
has been 'fixed before a robbery is ac
complished. "Another plan, and the one which is
generally adopted by the rogues who prowl
about hotel corridors In the daytime. Is
to draw the screws of the nosing of the
bolt and lock. By boring the screw holes
larger and moistening the screws, the lat
ter are replaced and maintain a sufficient
grip not to be displaced by the ordinary
Jar. As the wood becomes dry the door

workers Is the thief who looks for his
prey about the high-class boarding-houses.
He is generally an entertaining talker, se
