IS THE MORNING ORE G ONI AN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 190. iAIDSPOOLRQOM Sheriff Acts Without a Warrant TURF EXCHANGE -CLOSED Licenses Issued by City Offi cials Are Disregarded. SO - IS DISTRICT ATTORNEY Sheriff Word Declares Betting on Races Is Gambling, and That He Is Authorized by Law to Arrest Such Gamblers. Through the long: hours of yesterday af ternoon and last night & lone Deputy Sheriff tended bar at the "Warwick Club, on Fourth street. He -will continue to do o today and perhaps for an indefinite period until the machinery of the law has displaced him for one reason or another. The change of bartenders was the result of an exciting raid made under the su pervision, of Sheriff "Word, on the "War wick Club yesterday afternoon, and as a result of which all members of the "War wick Turf Exchange spent several uncom fortable hours In the County Jail. Sheriff "Word declared turf betting to be one of the wickedest forms of gambling, and he made good his threats to close the bouse by making the raid without arrest war rants, "because, as he said. District At torney Manning would not co-operate with him in issuing informations against the accused. Sheriff "Word made his raid under a sta tutory provision of the state code, which authorizes the arrest, without warrants, of gamblers. The "Warwlckians say that provision cannot apply to them as they are not gamblers. The Sheriff, on the other hand, says the turf exchange is the rankest and vilest kind of gambling and that accordingly it does apply. He says he will stand pat and fight every Inch of his ground through the courts. Bather an unusual legal situation was developed through the raid. "When Pro prietor M. G. Nease and six of his em ployes were taken in they could not get their release at the time simply because there was no formal charge against them nor had any informations been filed by the District Attorney. Judge George, when appealed to for bail, said he could not regularly fix any amount since there -was no formal charge. Nease promptly sum moned his attorneys, "Watson & Beekman, and Dolph, Simon, Mallory & Gearln, who filed habeas corpus proceedings in the Circuit Court, on the ground that the defendants were illegally detained. The writ was issued and made returnable at 5 o'clock, at which, time the defendants were released on their own recognizance, pending the arguments, which, have been set for hearing today. Runs Under City Licenses. The unusual aspect of the legal question Involved is .heightened by the fact that the turf exchange was running under a city license three city licenses, In fact broker's, liquor dealer's and turf com missioner's. These licenses were author ized by the City Council, but, of course, did not furnish immunity from state in terference. Upon the Sheriffs action, the members of the Council are divided ia opinion. "Hurrah for the Sheriff." said Mr. Al bee. "I would like to be on his official bond aber nlcht," remarked Mr. Zimmerman. Others were noncommittal. Unless District Attorney Manning is sues Information, the Sheriff will be left to fight out the battle alone. To do this he would be forced to let the proprietors of the "Warwick Club take the. initiative. He can keep his deputy in charge, he says, until the proprietor sues to have him ousted. May Sue Sheriff for Damages. "But I will never sue to have the dep uty ousted," says Proprietor Nease. "He can rot in there first. I shall probably sue the Sheriff for damages." "I am ready to pay any and all dam ages that any court will be likely to al low In a case of this kind," says Sheriff "Word In his turn. The Sheriff adds that he is not In the least intimidated by the threatened suit and Intends to stand by his guns and fight the battle through to a finish. In regard to informations. District At torney Manning said he was too busy, yes terday to meddle with the "Warwick in cident. He declared, however, that if the Sheriff can show evidence conclusive ly showing there has been an infraction of the law he will act. The raid early yesterday afternoon was made by five deputies, led by Chief Deputy Morden. No end of excitement was -caused as there were a hundred persons in the place at the hour of the officers' appearance, and a' crowd of more than 1000 was quickly assembled about the out side. Besides the employes of the place, the officers took all the betting coupons. the books and $550.50 of available cash to serve as evidence. The bar was closed only because it was located inside of the clubroom. The defendants are M. G. Nease, J. E Culllson, M. Dlegman J. Stephens, J. N. FJeshman. "William Humphreys, A. W. NIemeyer and Joe Marshall. CHINESE H0N0B THEIR JOSS. JoyouB Feast Commemorate Birth of Powerful Deity. As yesterday passed into today there was Joy In Portland's Chinatown, and a "birthday feast such as was never experi enced by Caucaslansxyas in progress. At midnight last night there was ushered In thft birthday of Joss Chin Cou Du, the Joss that tradition says is the great man of the court and holds in the hollow of his hand the destinies of the ruler of the Celestial Empire. Chin Cou Du Is sup posed to have nine sons and 99 grandsons, all of whom are ready at a moment's no tice to do his bidding, whether It be to strike the ruler with sickness or poverty or exalt him to greater power, wealth and health. As the clock struck 12 last night S00 bunches of firecrackers were firqd in front of the Josshouse of the Jong "Wah Com pany on Second street, between Pine and Oak. The sudden din startled everyone but the police, from whom permission had been .obtained to celebrate. After the crackers exploded the Chinese band played a few touching selections and the Celestials sat down to the unique feast. There was a plate for Chin Cou Du, but tho Joss preferred to look on from his throne and watch his faithful subjects en Joy themselves. There will be special aervlces in the josshouse throughout the ds.y and more bubIc aa wasting tonight.
