POLICE ARE TO BLAME, HE SAYS Fake Cases Arc Brought Into His Court Alter Carefully Planned Itnid Refuses to Sentence Un less Law Is Equallr Enforced. "Gamblers are paying some one for the Jiriviiege of running their games openly, in violation of the city ordinance," said Municipal Jtfdge Hogue yesterday, and he did not hesitate to say that the police roust be the people who are receiving the raft. The Judge is convinced that the police are making no effort to stop the gambling, and says that the cases in his court tend to make it appear as if he were a party to the graft. Against this he en ters a strong protest, and says that here after Justice shall be administered, what ei'er the case brought in. "Of all the raids that have been made on the white gamblers." said he, "I do not think there is one that was made in good faith. AH have been carefully planned. The gamblers knew that the raid was coming, and took care that there would be no evidence that could convict "them. Some of the raids on the Chinese houses have been In good faith, I think, but it is because the Chinese refused to. pay the graft. So long as I know that the large gambling-houses are being allowed to run. and there Is no effort made to stop them, I will not sentence other cases that may be brought in, even though they are convicted. I am determined that the Police Court shall not be made a party to the graft. I stand ready to do my duty where I see it, but I do not consider it Justice to punish one man for a crime when there are others allowed to go free that are guilty of the same crime." Judge Hogue declares that it is ridicu lous for the police to say that they cannot stop the gambling. "For a police department that is so effi cient in catching criminals of every sort and keeping down crime in the city to say that It cannot find out who is gambling If they want to Is absurd. The fact is, that they do not want to stop It, and are well paid for not wanting to." Seen Open Gambling. The occasion of Judge Hague's remarks was a recent visn 10 some oj. tne larger gambling'houses of the city. Since the administration has taken a decided stand against gambling, he has been noticing In his court evidence of bad faith on the part of the police. Word has been com ing to him that the gambling is open, but the arrests that were made were poorly handled, and the police did not get suffi cient evidence to convict the offenders. Every one knew that gambling had been going'on. and that the people who were brought into the court were guilty of vio lating the ordinance, but in every case pains had been taken that no evidence to this effect' was introduced. The story had always been that the entrances were so closely guarded that the police could not get in without forcing their way, and that by that time all evidence of gambling had been removed. Last Friday night, after a banquet given by the University Club, Judge H"?ue and 33. B. Beekman were going home, and noticed lights in the. uem Club. "I wonder if those houses are so closely guarded," said the Judge, "that it is Im possible for the authorities to get evidence of the gambling," and suggested that the two tsy to get In. The task was not a hard one. for the doorkeeper did not ask them who or what they were, but only opened the door and let them in. Think ing that this care might be exceptional, he decided to Investigate further, and vis ited the Portland Club. The doorkeeper at that place was a man who for some reason knew the Judge well, but he did not offer to stop him. After standing around and looking at the games for a time the Judge went home, but was con vinced that it wasn't so very hard to gain entrance to the gambling-houses. Jodge Hognc'n Statement. "I do not wish it to appear that I am making a fight against the police, or against any one." said the Judge, yester day, when seen about the matter. "The only part that I am interested in. as far as my official capacity goes. Is In the cases "that come into my court It is not my business how milch gambling is going on as long as It Is not brought before me for trial. Neither is It my business how much of a graft any one is getting out of letting the games run. When It begins to appear that I am a party to the graft, however, is when I want to protest. After having seen how openly everything is run, and how easy it Is to enter a gambling-house and get evidence. I can see more than ever what perfect farces the cases that have been brought before me are. In or der to make It appear that they are doing their duty, and that there Is no way to convict the gamblers, a number of cases have been hatched up by the police when It was known that there was no chance of conviction. The keno raid that was made at the Portland Club was nothing more than a farce. It must have been known beforehand that the' raid was go ing to take place, for there was not a stranger in the number that were arrest ed. Every man was a well-known rounder or a man that was in the direct employ or the gambling-house. A greater farce than the Erickron raid I cannot imagine, The evidence of the officers showed that the men were sitting about a table, and not engaged in a game of any sort. Yet every one knows that there is rambling going on at this place all the time, and was at that time. There are three wavs that the police could stop this gambling and have an easy time of It Any officer In civilian clothes can gain admission while the gambling is going on the same as I did. and can then get evidence which cannot fall to convict. A policeman could be stationed at the entrances to the gam- bung-houses and could make every man that goes 'into them give his name and address, and it would be but a short time until there would be no one go there. The patron? of the gambling-houses are afraid they will be caught, and anything that would scare them would make them stay away, Tne proprietors of the houses. however, tell their customers that there Is no fear, and that they always know when there is a raid coming. Of course, I cannot swear that they do know this, but I know that in even' raid there is no one brought In but the employes of the house. Or If the Chief was acting In per fect good faith and wanted to stop all gam bling, he could simply Vend orders to the houses to close down, that he was going to make a raid. Every one knows that they close down every time they are told tbat there Is to be a raid made v "J -would much rather not ihavejsaid' any thing about this matter," said he, "but it has been forced upon me. If-ne police or the Mayor or any of the others want the gambling to go", on. tfcat is not my busi ness. But they onust" leave roe alone. If gambling is allowed to run wide open, I will not have a wordj to say. But for some to be allowed to run becausp they pay the graft, and the others to be brought to me for punishment because they will not pay the graft, 1b discrimination, and I will not allow my court to be a party to such a rank act of injustice. "It has been said- already by some," said he, "that I am standing in with the gam blers. If the police or any one else think that is so, let them bring some bona-fide cases into my court, and bring with them evidence enough to convict, and see how heavily I will fine the offenders. I notice that the gamblers do not regard me as their friend, or they would want to try their cases before me. In every case they insist upon a Jury. "I want it understood that I am not making any complaint, only in so far "as the Police Court goes. The police or any one else may do as they like in this mat ter, but they roust not bring their farce cases Into my court and make it appear that I am with them." Chief Will Tallc Later. "There Is really nothing that can be said about the matter that will be of weight at the present time," said Chief of Police McLauchlan when seen last night.. 'JlFor the present I wish to act and not to talk. I will make a statement later on.'' He ad mitted that it is generally known that some of the gambling-houses are running, but said that it. Is easier to talk about stopping them than It is to do it. "We have made a number of arrests," paid he, "and have brought all of the gam bling devices into the court, yet we can not get a conviction. In the keno case we brought the whole keno outfit down, and the men were caught in the act of playing, but they were not convicted. The case to day was as plain as could be. We had tht whole fantan outfit and over $200 In mohey that the Chinamen had In front of them, but a cock-and-bull story was hatched up and the Jury preferred to believe that in MOORESHOWSFIGHT Holds Board of Trade Office as His Fort, .

' "Just wait and see," and Mr. Idlemans mouth compressed its lips gravely and his eyes tdok oh a far-away look. The re porter stifled to the other foot, and es sayed again: "How about the story that you're going to have a warm time?" I "We'll do nothing except that which is j for the welfare of the city," returned His , ex-Attorney-Generalship, oracularly, and added with a reassuring air: "But you'.d .better come to the meeting. I think there'll be something to interest you," and sunshine again beamed from his countenance. President Bench Serene. President F. E. Beach last night sent lls message over the wire from his hqme on Portland Heights. "Will there be a warm time tomorrow?'' the reporter asked. "No, I don't anticipate any," said Mr. Beach, cheerily. ' "Will you ask for a financial accounting from Mr. Moore?' "I don't know anything about his ac counts. In fact, we. can't get any finan cial report from Mr. Moore at all." Max M. Shlllock, the newly elected sec- L retary, will assume his duties "today. the way," said he. "I don't care what he does, but he'd better not stand In the way. I did riot seek the office, but it came to me, and I shall accept it." "Does he own the office furniture?" "I hear he does, and the records, too' "But you can make new recbrds." "Yes; indeed. Besides, I hear the old records are not worth much, anyhow." "Mr. Shlllock will make a good secre tary," remarked President Beach. Moore Holds the Fort.

He says that all the King's horses and all the King's men can't budge him, because he has paid the rent, and will hold the office furniture until the Portland Board pays him what it owes. "Will there be two boards here, .lined up together?" and the reporter gazed over the rooms of the Oregon Mining Stock Hospital, where he died soon after his arrival. He was a man weighlrig about 1S5 pounds, 5 feet 9 Inches tall, and evi dently not a laborer. There were no marks of identification about him, ex cept that his coat ana hat had tbe.en purchased from M. Praeger, Seattle. AID FOR THE TANNERS. Federated Trades Start Subscription for California Strikers. Instead of. the holiday ball that was talked of by the members of thp Feder ated Trades Council, they decided last night at their regular meeting that they would raise a subscription for the otrik lng tanners of California. The council led off with a liberal donation and will send committees to the various affiliated unions asking thorn all to -make an addition to the fund. The Portland council has done much to help the California strikers win their fight and now is willing .to send them all of the financial aid they can. Tha strike has been going on for n much longer time than was expected and the workmen are getting short of funds. 12.50 SUIT SALE At the Brownsville Woolen Mills.
