SULLIVAN TO FIGHT
Seattle Chief of Police Re
sists Indictment
HIS CHIEF ATTORNEY IS DEAD
Exit Jokn Dore, a Picturesque Flgr
mre and Able Laivyer Sullivan Re
lases to Resign, lint Politicians
t Are Picking? His Successor.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 5. (Special.)
'Apparently the death of John Fairfield
Sore, his chief counsel, has made no
change in Chief of Police John Sullivan's
determination to resist the Indictment
against him for malfeasance ' in office.
Politicians had expected some immediate
developments after the death of Mr. Dore,
but Chief SulllVan has merely engaged
Judge G. Meade Emorj't one of the
strongest men who ever sat on a King
County bench, and has gone ahead with
his plans for fighting his case.
There is a story afloat in political and
official circles to the effect tfc.at the fight
that is being waged was largely directed
tefthe purpose of forcing Sullivan out of
the position he holds. It has been inti
mater rather plainly that the indictment
-would be withdrawn if the Chief of Po
lice were to see his way clear to resign.
Whatever there may be in this stony
the Chief of Police has not taken this al
ternative. During the time Dore had
charge of his case this would be easily
explained, for there is no doubt but that
Mr. Dore was the foremost criminal law
yer in Washington. If any one could
clear the skirts of a man arrested or un
der charge of a crime, Dore could do it,
and he always did. Numerous serious
charges have been made against the
Chief of Police, but John- Dore undoubt
edly made Chief Sullivan believe that he
would dispose of them easily.
Dore was a peculiar man In many re
spects, and a man whose career had much
in it of peculiar Interest. He came to Se
attle in the early days as John Fairfield,
a brilliant young attorney, facile writer
and a strong speaker. He was made
much of by the Democracy of King Coun
ty, and became one of the strongest lead
ers the party had.
nis Fiffht With the KlnfiT.
During the days of the old Telegraph,,
a morning paper that collapsed with the
.first boom, Dbre was an editorial writer
for the paper by diversion. It was dur
ing the time that the Telegraph was mak
ing a bitter fight against the old "Hunt"
ring, in which ex-Governor John H. Mc
Graw, Leigh Hunt and Frederic J. Grant
were the leading spirits.
The editorial writings of "Fairfield"
were unusually bitter and pointed; so
much so, in fact, that the Post-Intelll-'
gencer was moved one morning to advise
him In a single line to be more discreet.
This line passed unnoticed by practical
ly every one save thtfse whom it most
directly concerned, but a few days later,
or possibly a lew weeks, a detective came
out from the East and took John Fair
field home with him, declaring that his
name was really John Fairfield Dore, and
that he had been involved ia a shady,
transaction with a client's money.
It developed that the case was more in
spired by chagrin and misunderstanding,
the client contributing the former element
and the officers the second. Dore escaped
conviction, and he immediately returned
with tils family to Seattle; He took up
hi proper name of John Fairfield Dore
and Democracy, and the leading citizens
of Seattle welcomed him. He plunged
again into the practice of law, and from
that time on made a success of it.
Dore handled all the leading crim
inal cases that have arisen in Seattle
Irom the day he returned after his East
ern trip. He was probably the one man
in this state who made money, and big
jnoney, out of criminal practice, for to
consult even with Dore cost money, and
attorneys with precarious cases usually
wanted a consultation.
Work for Sullivan Killed Dore.
It was this nan's ability that the pub
lic regarded as the strongest point In
Chief Sullivan's defense. No matter what
the truth of the charges against the Chief
-of Police may be, the public is always
more eager for sensation and develop
ments that show criminal charges to be'
true and has generally accepted the charge
that the Chief has been involved in wrong
doing, waiting until the charges are dis
proved to take a more charitable view
of the matter. For that reason the en
gagement of Dore ,t6 fight the Chiefs bat
tles was regarded as a shrewd move. It
has also been figured that It was Dore's
Influence that led the Chief of Police to
make his fight.
The death of Dore occurred on the eve
of the trial of' Chief Sullivan. In fact, it
Is stated that overwork on this case may
have had much to do with hastening the
attorney's end. He was familiar with
-every detail of the defense, more so than
the associate counsel, ana naturally a
postponement of the case was necessary
In order to permit Judge Emory to gather
up the loose ends again.
It is "believed now that the Chief will
make a fight. At first the politicians be
lieved the Chief would resign and the
case-would be dropped, hut apparently the
Chief has no immediate intention of tak
ing that alternative.
Candidates for Chief.
It is freely predicted, however, that.
jio matter what may be the outcome o
the case. Chief Sullivan will leave the
-police force when It Is concluded. While
Mayor Humes Is Quoted by his friends as
stating that he will not be a candidate
-lor re-election, it is insisted that he will
dear up the police department to satisfy
the public as soon as it can be done with
due regard to proprieties.
It 1b possible that neither man will he
chosen, but at the present the only can'
didates for Chief Sullivan's position are
W. C. Wappensteln and Charles Phillips,
both detectives on the Seattle poUce force.
Wappensteln has the Indorsement of the
old Humes forces, while Phillips re
lies principally upon his friendship to
Mayor Humes to secure the position. Phil
lips is not Indorsed by any of the He
publican factions, but he has accompanied
the Mayor on many or nis nsmng trips.
has hunted with him and is an intimate
acquaintance. This, Phillips believes, is
sufficient.
Mayor Humes declares that he will not
appoint Wappensteln. Possibly he will
sot, hut ho has usually followed the ad-
rice of the men who are urging him to
name the detective as Chief of Police. In
time It is believed that the Mayor will
ive way, and that Wappensteln will suc
ceed Sulllvan, unless in the meantime some
compromise candidate appears whom the
Mayor and his friends can accept. This,
however, is unlikely.
The trouble that has Involved the Chief
of Police, and has, In fact, led to all the
trouble of the administration, as well as
sooBt of those whom the grand Jury flverl
months ago indicted, was the gambling
war. The Chief of Police certainly fa
vored the gambling "ring, and aided in
enforcing the orders to close or open
that the boss gamblers Issued. Now the'
state law has put a stop to open percent
age gambling, the gamblers are busy in
A new direction.

bidding, with odds, for the trade. At
times the edds given on horses who had
been consistent performers throughout
were without any Justification. The gam
blers probably realize they stood to lose
heavily, but. If they did not, they learned
it soon enough, for day after day tne
bookies were hit hard. Occasionally they
made a big clean-up.
While no one has any word of criticism
for the management of .the track or the
owners, it is openly charged that the
gamblers did tamper with some of ' the
Jockeys. Something that seems to con
firm this statement is the fact that the
Judge has found it necessary to set down
so many of the youthful riders. It is
less than a week since three were sus
pended for the balance of the meet, and
one lad ruled off the track altogether.
Since then the jockeys have ridden better.
The gamblers, however, have quit fight
ing at the track as hard as they did at
first, and odds given now are more nearly
based upon the merits of the race. At
that the struggle among them Is still
fierce.
What the eamblers will do after the
race meet ends Is a problem. They have
the test cases from Seattle and Spokane
In court, and may hold out to. await the
outcome before taking any new action
The big houses, having other interests
here, must stay for a time at least, and
the races give a chance for bridging over i
the gulf.

OTHERS HAVE GOOD STOCK.
Albany's Impromptu Horse Fair May
Lead to Extensive Display.
ALBANY, Or., July 5. (Special.) The
large success of the display of well-bred
Worses, which was a feature of the Mer
chants' Street Fair and Carnival just
ended in Albany, has caused Linn County
people seriously to consider the advis
ability of holding a general competition
display of livestock In Albany at the
close of the harvest season next Fall.
With but a few days' notice, and no effort
at specla advertisement, considerably
over 103 fine horses were in the parade
of last Friday. The display of prancing
steeds, finely caparisoned, was one of the
pleasing features of the entire week's
carnival, and excited general admiration
and commentritlon. As the parade In
cluded but a small portion of the fine
horses In the county, those who were not
represented nre desirous of another op
portunity to enter their animals.
The poultry show, which was held In
this city last Winter Is fresh In the minds
of the people. It was a very successful
affair, and resulted in the organization of
the Willamette Valley Association. It, to
gether with the display of last week, has
brought forcibly to the attention of the
people of this section, that Linn County
stockralsers are paying-more attention to
the quality than the quantity of their pro
duction, anu everyone Is anxious to see
what the result has been in other lines
than those mentioned.
The upshot of the whole matter Is the (
suggestion that a general competitive
stock show be held in Albany in the early i
FalL And there Is every Indication that
the suggestion will bear fruit.
Linn
Countv breeders hav hpsnin mining v,
standard of their stock, and those who
are leading the advancement are anxious
to show what progress they have mad?,
and induce their neighbors to take up the
work of raising nothing but first-class
animals. It is believed a display like the
one contemplated will assist the work
wonderfully. The show will Include live
stock of every description, equal Tprom
lnenco being given to each cls of
animate. "
Those farmers who have paid consider
able attention for a number of years to
raising blooded stock of any kind can
testify to the fact that it pays. Linn
County now has some excellent stock
farms, and any movement which will as
sist in promoting the breeding of fine
stock throughout the entire section will
receive hearty indorsement.

CHEHALISWATER SHUTOFF
COUNCIL IS SAID TO OWE 7000 TO
SUPELY C031PANY.
Temporary Receiver Appointed lor
the Plant, So That the Public
Will Not Suffer.
CHEHALIS, Wash., July 5. (Special.)
The culmination of the long-drawn-out
dispute between the Chehalls City Coun
cil and the Chehalls Water Company came
Friday afternoon. The water company
has been supplying the city with water
for fire protection for about four years
past without having received a cent for
the service rendered. The Council has
regularly rejected the bills presented, the
total being now over 7000. The. Council
gives as its reasons that the. water fur
nlshed the city ts impure, and that the
company has failed to keep the requisite
supply in the city reservoir as provided
hy the franchise which the company owns,
which was granted by the city early in the
90s.v
Friday afternoon the water company
quit pumping and sent a postal-card notice
to all the private consumers, stating that
the supply would he discontinued from
that date. The notices were signed by
Fred S. Morris, of PortlanaS.presIdent of
the company. The plant Is owned by
Morris & Whitehead, of that city.
A hurried meeting of tho City Council
was held and steps at once taken to see
that the plant was kept runnings. A com
mittee of citizens; and councllmen made a
trip to the plant and found that the pump
ing machinery had 'been tampered- with,
certain essential parts having been re
moved. City Attorney Ponder and his partner.
Councilman Forney, on behalf of the city,
immediately began work to secure the
proper hearing of the matter before Judge
Rice, who had arrived on an evening train.
As a result. John Dobson, of the Coffman
Dobson banking house, was appointed
temporary receiver to take charge of tho
plant and see that It was kept running,
that the public Interests might not be
further Imperiled, until the legal dispute
between the city and the company might
be adjusted. Mr. Dobson Immediately
qualified and gave a $10,000 bond for the
proper care of the plant while It shall
be In his charge.
About midnight Mr. Morgan was found
and the order of the court served on him.
He turned the property over to Mr. Dob
son. and about 1 o'clock a company of
gentlemen went to the plant and began
making the needed repairs, so that by
9:30 o'clock Sunday morning the pump was
started again. The city had been without
water for fire protection from 10 P. M.
Friday to 10 A. M. Saturday. Things aro
now running smoothly. Tuesday, July 7,
the hearing on making Mr. Dobson's re
ceivership permanent until a final adjust
ment can be had will come before the
court.

SMACKS OF FRAUD
Lands of Great Value Ob
tained at Little Cost.
TIPS GIVEN OREGON LOCATORS
"Outsiders" Mar Be Galled la the Fu
ture hy AIIeKed'',Inslde" Informa
tion Given for the PHrpose v
of Getting: Money.
SALEM, Or., July 5. (Special.) The
fraudulent representations of "locators"
that they have "inside information" as
to the plans ofthe Government regarding
irrigation projects recalls the fact that in
the past some men have had inside in
formation, and that they have been able
to use It to their advantage. The warn
ing of the Geological Survey to the nubile
against these locators may save Intend
ing settlers some money, and to that ex
tent it will make up for the looseness of
the Federal Land Department In the past.
Any person who has watched the prog
ress of Federal land proceedings In this
state would be Justified in believing that
operators in public land have "Inside"
information, as they claim, and in view
of the enormously profitable Investments
mat nave been made in the oast uwrn
that kind of Information it would not be
surprising if men were willing to Invest
their money now upon no better basis
than that the man who receives it has
"Inside" information. There have been
many "Ipaks" In the Land Department.
one of them extending, apparently, to the
office of the Secretary of the Interior, and
If the present regime has succeeded in
keeping official secrets, It has accom
plished wonders.
One of the most notorious instances of
"Inside" Information being secured con
cernlng the intentions of the Federal land
officials' was that which enabled some fig r
son or persons to purchase the 40,000 acres
of Cascade Forest Reserve 'base at $1.25
an acre when It would In a few weeks
become worth to the state $2.50 an acre,
and was worth more than that to the
syndicate that secured it. A review of all
the circumstances would lead to the con
clusion that "inside information" leaked
out of the office of the Secretary of the
Interior at that time.
The facts are that in 1S33 the Cascade
Reserve was created, and until the middle
of 1S33- the state was trying to get permis
sion to use the surveyed school section's
In the reserve as base. The Department
of the Interior steadfastly refused to per
mit the state to use these lands as base
for the selection of lieu land. In August
of that year some one began buying up
these apparently worthless school sec
tions, and about the end of the year all
of them had been secured through the
medlumship of "dummies.
Within a month after the last of them
were sold, the Department of the Interior,
in a decision rendered by Acting Secretary
Ryan, serving under Secretary Bliss, re
versed its former ruling and held that
these sections could be used as base. The
men who bought them made an enormous
profit. While it may be possible that no
"inside" Information as to the forthcom
ing decision was given out, it Is difficult
to understand how It happened that at
Just the right time some one took a no
tion to buy up-all these worthless school
sections. The information, if obtained at
all, could have come from no. other source
than from some attache of the Secre
tary's office.
This same experience has been had with
nearly every fdrest reserve that has been
created or proposed. Less than two years
ago a large tract of land In Wasco Coun
ty was added to the Cascade Reserve.
The general public had no Information as
to the Intentions of the Government, but
some one felt sure enough of what would
be done that he went and bought up all
the cheap land he could get in, the limits
of the new reserve. That may also have
been good business foresight, but it
looked at the time, because of the manner
in which the land3 were secured, as
though the purchaser of the hids had
some "Inside" information.
It is also notorious that Just about the
time the Government withdrew from en
try the land within the limits of the pro
posed Blue Mountain Reserve, some per
sons who operate heavily In public lands
were inspired to buy up all the school sec
tions in that region. They evidently had
Information from some source that caused
them to have a sudden desire to acquire
those lands, upon which they will profit
handsomely If the Government should
create the reserve and permit these- lands
to be used as scrip.
Even In the operations of the Geolog
ical Survey thene have been Incidents
which would Indicate, if not prove, that
inside" information has been given out.
When the Butter Creek lands were with
drawn recently with a view to the pos
sible construction of extensive irrigation
works by the Government, a number of
persons went to the State Land Office to
purchase school lana in mat vicinity, out
found that a few days before the Depart
ment at Washington Issued its order some
one had bought up every vacant scnooi
section In that region. It was the unani
mous comment among men who take an
Interest in land matters that some one
must have had a "tip" concerning the
Government's Intentions.
In view of these facts, and otners mat
might be mentioned, it is to be expected
that when a lana locator claims to nave
"tnRfdft" information, tho land-buying
public is likely to believe him and pay
him his price for the Information he has
to sell. The assurance irom tne ueoiog
lcal Survey that these locators have no
Inside Information is timely, for without
the warning many people would deal with
the locators, as they have been doing.
