t THE MOKNTNG '(XREGOOTAN, THURSDAY, KOYEMBBK 3, 1905. WHQSETSSRftFT? Councilman Says Fan tan Gamblers Pay. AM INQUIRY IS ORDERED Chief of Police to Investigate 34 Games. COUNCIL HEARS THE CHARGES ute Zimmerman Declares He Has Reliable Information Chinese Are Paying for Privilege of Gambling Unmolested. That Chinese fentan games are running under the protection, of some one who is receiving graft regularly was the charge made before the Council yesterday after soon by Louis Zimmerman, of the Sixth "Ward. What brought the gambling question into the Council Chamber was a confession "by a Chinese known to have conducted a fan tan establishment for a long time. Yesterday ho told a city official that he didn't pay the city now because he paid the "county man." "When this came to the ears of the Councllmen early yesterday afternoon there was something doing immediately. Since Sheriff Word closed up the fantan games, or at least raided a number of certain establishments and, battered down the doors, the Chinese have no longer paid revenue into the city treasury through regular fines in the Municipal Court. Prom this story it was suspected that some one representing himself as having county authority was collecting graft from the Chinese gamblers. Who Is the "County Man"? Who was the "county man." mentioned by the Chinese to the attorney? This was Just what Mr. Zimmerman and other Councllmen wanted to learn right away. So the Sixth. Ward representative brought the matter before the Council by intro ducing a resolution that the Mayor should instruct the Chief of Police to make an investigation fit 34 establishments, whose street numbers he submitted. There hasn't been spch a. sensation In the Council Chamber for a long time as that occasioned by Mr. Zimmerman's short, terse speech. "There are 34 places where I am re liably informed that gambling is going on," cried Mr. Zimmerman. "Two months ago these places were closed by Sheriff Word. Now he seems too busy with the white men to attend to the Chinese. These houses are not paying anything to the city. It seems improbable that they are running without aylng somebody. And I am reliably Informed that they are pay ing somebody." Even the Councllmen, the majority of whom knew what wad coming, gasped at the earnestness of the direct attack. From the main floor the gasp continued to the last row in the gallery, for there was a good audience. "If the Chief of Police can't investigate this alono he should have assistance," concluded Mr. Zimmerman. The Idea of Chief Hunt investigating a gambling-house so amused Mr. Flegel that he chuckled heartily as he seconded Mr. Zimmerman's motion, which was passed. The admission of the Chinaman caught unawares yesterday Is not the only thing which the Councllmen have heard of the system of graft alleged to prevail in Chinatown. When the Chinese games were ordered closed by Sheriff Word after raids, the boss gamblers know they need no longer pay fines Into the Municipal Court. With in a short time the rumor gained circu lation that each game was paying $10 a month to "somebody. It was known that they were running secretly. The street numbers of the dens, as submitted by Mr. Zimmerman, show them to be on Second street, the majority being between Stark and Oak, within a block of the Police Station. Within the last few days another report started that each game was now paying $10 a week. There Is little doubt that 34 games have been running. Apparently some onowas receiving 5310 a week. Ordered to Close by Sheriff. Sheriff Word islted Chinatown yester day morning. "I told the bosses that every game must be closed or that I would take off every iron door found closed and lock them in the County Jail," said he last evening. "Yes, the games were running then. I sent three deputies around this evening, but no games were running then," he said. JAIL BARS WERE SOFT. Five Prisoners Escape From County Prison, One Suspect Arrested. Five prisoners, John Smith, Frank Ho gan, James Turner, Michael Foley and Frank Matthews, employed on the rock pile, "escaped from corridor Xo. 3 In the County Jail Tuesday night by sawing their way out. A man answering the description of Matthews was arrested at Woodburn, Or., at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Chief peputy Sheriff Morden left last evening to identify the suspect. The prisoners were all confined together In one cell, and got out by sawing through a crossbar. After it was cut through they lowered a set of perpendicular bars which locked the door. Once outside in the main corridor, they cut through; two sets of window bars and afterward sawed the lock off a door which leads to Fifth street. The men must have made their escape after 9 o'clock, when all the prisoners In this corridor were locked In their cella Corridor No. 3 is In thja old part of the Jail, and is not used except for the in carceration of persons serving time for minor offenses, because It Is too easy to escape from, The bars in the windows and those fastening the doors.' are soft, and can be cut through almost as easy as a piece of wood. The men employed on the rockplle have every opportunity to procure saws when they are cut at work. Friends during the night can conceal saws for them among ihe rocks where they work. The terms of Matthews and Foley expire in September. 1903, Hogan and Turner in March, 1KB, and Smith In July, 1903. They were all sentenced to one year each for larceny. The escapes were discovered yes terday morning at 7 o'clock. Sheriff Word lias sent out circulars containing a de scription of the men to surrounding points, and has offered a reward of $20 each for their capture.

TELEPHONES Received offer from Los Angeles company to build system here. TANNER-CREEK S EWE R7-Authorized the hiring of experts to investigate the alleged faulty construction. "WOOD BLOCKS Again postponed ac ceptance of Salmon-Street pavement. CIGAR MACHINES Repealed prohib itory ordinance. After telegrams from the Empire Con struction Company, of Los Angeles, offering- to begin work upon a telephone plant here at once, had been read to the Coun cil yesterday afternoon, Mr. Flegel Intro duced an ordinance to repeal the fran chise of the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Company. After a lively dis cussion, the ordinance was referred to the Judiciary committee. The telegrams were delivered to Mayor Williams and to Mr. Zimmerman while the Council was In session. The message to the Mayor simply stated that the com pany would put In a first-class telephone system in Portland, starting at once. The telegram received by Mr. Zimmerman read as follows: "We stand ready to build a nrst-class telephone plant in Portland and start work at once. Representatives will come with full power to arrange all details. Wire answer. "EMPIRE CONSTRUCTION 'CO. "F. F. Graves, general manager, 26 South Hill street. Los Angeles." After the telegrams were read Mr. Flegel said: "I move that Mr. Zimmerman reply that the Council is in a good position to dicker with them." The Empire Construction Company Is the same one that tried in vain to obtain a franchise over two years ago. Stories of an attempt made to bribe several of ficials made it difficult to get the fran chise. The same rumors will militate against It now. "The company could not qualify, by put ting up a bond of J25.000 when it tried to get a franchise before." said Mr. Zim merman. "For my own part, I would like to see another line with better service here." "Until tills company shows me that it wants to build a telephone line and not to get a franchise to-soll, It will never get my vote," declared Mr. Sharkey. "Wire 'cm we're from Missouri," said Mr. MerrilL Telephone Ordinance Referred. The ordinance to repeal the franchise as introduced by Mr. Flegel stated that the nominal consideration of $1000 a year paid to the city by the telephone company for the use of the streets was not all the people were entitled to, that they expected to receive good service and were entitled to it. Fortunately for the ordinance, its father is a member of the judiciary com mittee, or it might ornament trie com mittee box for a long time to come. A committee of expert sewer men. con nected with neither, the City Engineer's department nor the contractors, is to make a close examination of the Tanner Creek sewer, according to a resolution adopted yesterday. Litigation because pf alleged faulty construction is threatened and ,tbe Council desires to know the exact condition of the big drain before It takes any decisive stand. Men will be hired for the purpose. The City Engineer also- wishes that the rumors of negligent In spection by his men be sifted thoroughly. Wood Block Pavement Swells. The acceptance of the wood block pave jnent on Salmon street from First to Fifth was a delicate question. When .Miller & Bauer underbid the Carbollneum Avenarius1 Company, which has laid all other pavements of this character, the prediction was freely made that the inde pendents would have trouble in getting their pay. The pavement Is completed, but with every rain it swells and rises in hummocks two or three feet high. "Yesterday it looked like an archway for a sewer." said M.r. Rumelln. "But I am informed that It Is not - the con tractors' fault" "I find that the inspector insisted that the blocks be hammered down tightly, though the contractors declared the pave ment would swell when It rained if they did so." declared Mr. Albee. "If It's the city's fault the property owners should not pay for It," was Mr. Bentleys contribution. Contractor J. A. Miller was called from the gallery to give his side of the case. He declared that he had pleaded with the City Engineer's Inspector against the blocks being placed too close together, but that the inspector had been on the Job from morning to night, and had insisted that the blocks be placed as he directed. Mr. Zimmerman remarked that a con tractor should follow the specifications and not an Inspector, but City Engineer Elliott stated that in his opinion the Job had been done according to specifications. The street committee will think it over again. An ordinance making it unlawful for HEAR CHARGES OF FANTAN GRAFT AND ARGUMENTS FOR TELEPHONE COMPANY'S FRANCHISE - tSVJ building material to be allowed in a street outside the curb-line after the founda tions of a building were completed was Introduced by Mr. Rumelln, who declared that Sixth and Seventh streets had been almost Impassable. "That's in the building ordinance, but there's nobody to enforce -it," said Mr. Bentley, wearily. The ordinance prohibiting cigar slot machines was repealed so that the pres ent fine system may be carried out con sistently. Messrs. Flegel and Albeo fought against the repeal. Mr. Flegel moved that the proceedings for the improvement of Williams and Portsmouth avenues and Alberta street be discontinued, improvement, meaning confiscation of property. Mr. Sharkey asked that the City Engineer prepare specifications for a bridge from East Oak to East "Stark street on Grand avenue. Mr. Albee wanted one on Union Avenue, from Broadway to Schuyler. The ordinance requiring barbers to wash their hands be tween shaves and othev provisions. Intro duced by Mr. Sharkey on request of City Health Officer Biersdorf, was referred to the health and police committee. Thi Merrill license ordinance on street lunch wagons was, passed at $100 a quarter, an other Increase. BAEBEES SAY THEY ABE CLEAN Members of State Board Resent Dr. Biersdorf's Ordinance. The Board of Barber Examiners sat around yesterday saying unkind things about Dr. Biersdorf. City Health Officer, who had introduced yesterday in the Council an ordinance compelling barbers to clean up their shops, tidy themselves neatly and do away with the barber's itch. "He'd better clean up his office and leave us do our work," said Treasurer Frank Rogers. '"Why is he interfering? Is he trying to provide a fat office for some one? It's our business to look af ter the sanitation of shops and we do it. Barbers know enough to keep their places clean or they would not hold their pat- ronage. 'Who would enforce the ordinance? The police?" asked President J. C. Weis, sar castically. "I don't know who this fellow Biersdorf is, 'but he seems to be going a long way out of his road with his ordi nance. We. the Board, are authorized by the state to look after all such matters, and we do so. You will And very few" shops In Portland where all the regula tions laid down in the ordinance are not followed by the barbers as an ordinary measure of cleanliness. As to the spread of the Itch, a man who has It can not be shaved In most shops, and If a barber discovers that the man in the chair has something wrong with his face, ho steril izes his tools afterward. The barbers are clean enough. Dr. Biersdorf had bettor pass some ordinance about bar towels, if he is looking for cleanliness. "What itch there is about is caused by the customers themselves, who will not make complaint. We have never re ceived a single complaint, and at times when we knew men had got the Itch from a certain barber, we have gone out of the road to ask them to flic a complaint so that we could give the barber a hearing and revoke his license if neccssaryi but they would never do It."

In September, 1S50, Mr. Dukehart arrived in the city, and had since resided here. He opened a crockery store at Third and Yamhill streets, and subsequently became salesman for Prael, Hcgele & Co., which position he retained until illness struck him down. Mr. Dukehart is survived by his widow and four children, who all live In this city, with the. exception of one of his sons, who is absent in Germany, studying music A well-known member of the Masonic fraternity, Mr. Dukehart had a large cir cle of friends who are grieved to hear that he has passed away.

Northern Pacific Agents Start West Tonight, Headed by Cleland. A. D. Charlton, assistant general passen ger agent of the Northern Pacific, re ceived word yesterday that the party of railroad officials which will visit the Northwest under the leadership of A. M Cleiand, general -passenger agent at St. Paul, would leave that place this evening on the road West. The complete itinerary of the party has not as yet been determined, but lt'Is ex pected to reach Portland on or near No vember 16. The party will remain in" Portland for at least a day, and perhaps longer. Mr. Charlton, to whom is due the credit for the appointment by Governor Cham berlain of the 300 Immigration agents of the Northern Pacific as special commis sioners for the Lewis and Clark Fair, as well as much of the interest taken In the Northwest by the company, will meet the excursionists at Spokane and accompany them to Portland. Ho will have the gen eral supervision of the trip In his terri tory and will see to It that the travelers see all that Is to be seen of Portland and the country adjacent. FEW SALMON EGGS Hatcheries Are Far Short of Expected Supply. ONTARIO TURNS OUT POORLY Master Fish Warden Thinks Present .Close Season Is Inadequate and Advocates .Enforcement of Close Sunday. Salmon hatcheries of the Columbia River and Its tributaries this season will turn out not more than one-fifth as many young flsh as they did last. In 1S03 the number of salmon eggs obtained was 70. 000,000: in 1904 the number will not be more than 15,000.000. Such Is tha estimate of this year's work by H. G. Van Dusen, Master Fish War den of Oregon. Mr. Van Dusen left for the big Ontario hatchery yesterday morn ing. The short supply of eggs bodes 111 for the Industry. The output of the hatcheries. has come to be regarded as the chief re liance. This year's slump passes all un derstanding. It was expected that all the hatcheries in Oregon and Washington would obtain 100,000,000 eggs this season. To learn the cause of "the slump, Mr. Van Dusen Is making close Investigation of the hatcheries. As yet he has reached no decision, but is prone to the belief that the trouble comes from over-fishing or from failure of the fish hatched four or Ave years ago to return. The remedy. ! in nis opinion, ues in aooiiuon 01 tne pres- , ent long close season between April 15 and August 15 and substitution of the close Sunday. The Industry seems doomed to ruin, he says, unless the States of Oregon and Wshington can co-operate or unless the State of Oregon shall provide means to protect it The two states might Just as well remove all restrictions and let things go wide open as continue the present sys tem. Cessation of fishing once a week, Mr. Van Dusen thinks, would allow, enough fish to reach the hatcheries for malnteT nance of the supply. That would be the natural way of propagating the fish, since every school of salmon that entered the Columbia would be perpetuated. The season Is now closed from March 1 to April 15, after which fishing continues four months without intermission. En forcements of the close Sunday would be troublesome, but Mr. Van Dusen says it could be accomplished If the state would provide speedy patrol boats. Two such boats, be says, would be sufficient. At Ontario about 3,000,000 eggs have been secured, and the total for the year may amount to 4,000.000, compared with 25.000.000 in 1003. The lower Clackamas hatchery will do well to get 1,000.000 eggs, whereas last year It had 10,000,003. The upper Clackamas hatchery secured 1,500, 000; last year 5.000,000. The Salmon River hatchery received 1,500.000; last season 5,000.000. In the State of Washington the National Government hatcheries at Big and Little White Salmon took 4,000,000 eggs this year, as against 29,000.000 last. The Kalama hatchery. Mr. Van Dusen is Informed, has had a very light catch. From the state hatcheries at Wind River and Chinook he has received no reports. The greatest disappointment comes from the Ontario hatchery, which was ex pected to obtain 30,000,000 eggs this sea son. Last year at this time that hatch ery xwas taking 2,000.000 eggs a day, but the biggest dally catch reported this sea son was 200,000. on October 20. The sea son for obtaining eggs there Is Just draw ing to a close. For some unexplained reason, the cus tomary run of salmon up Snake River to Ontario did not take place this year. One theory advanced Is that, on account of waterspouts and heavy rains, which ne cessitated opening the racks, many sal mon escaped, and the water being discol ored, those following turned into other streams such as the Wallowa, the Pay ette and the Welser, and spawned in the natural manner. The Oregon station on the Wallowa was not working this, year, owing to the scarcity of funds. Mr. Van Dusen regrets the Idleness of that sta tion, in view of the large run' of flsh that may have taken place in the Wallowa. in 1903 the station turned out nearly i,,wo try. The fact that Ashing In the Columbia AugusxjK Mr. Van Dusen does not re gard as the cause of the short catches at the hatcheries, Inasmuch as the sal mon taken at Ontario are supposed to have passed the lower Columbia before that date. The distance to Ontario Is more than 600 miles, and according to the knowledge "that Is possessed of the habits of the fish and their rate of travel, Mr. Van Dusen says that the salmon caught at Ontario .must have been past the lower Columbia when the legal sea son closed. Besides, the hatcheries which worked r 1 1 None Such"? MinceMeat !

M;Y-J REPEALING on Spring fish, such as the upper Clack amas and the Salmon River plants, are Just as short as those which took eggs this FalL Mr. Van Dusen contends that the sys tem which rules on the Columbia of clos ing the .season March 1 until April 15, and then again August 15, is all wrong, since the only natural way to. perpetuate the salmon is to enable some fish to reach the hatcheries all through the run ning season. As things now are, the hard Ashing between April 15 and August 15 allows very few Ash that opportunity. If Ashing were stopped -one day in every seven, Mr. Van Dusen says that the danger of exterminating the, salmon would be obviated. TO SPEAK AT EAST SIDE BALL'S Mayor Williams Will Give Short Ad dress H. W. Scott Will Preside. 1 The Republican City and County Com mittee has asked H. W. Scott to preside at the rally to be held at Burkhard's Hall on Saturday evening. To Mr. Scott will be delegated the task of In troducing the speakers and having gen eral charge of the exercises.

TO PAY OUT FUNDS W. F. Matthews Appointed Special Disbursing Agent, NAMED BY SECRETARY SHAW Government Appropriation of $475, 000 forLewls and 'Clark Build ings to Be Deposited In Port land and Disbursed by Him.

His bond for 350,000 will be made out and forwarded to Washington, D. C, to day. The official notlAcation about the "new position arrived yesterday from Sec retary of the Treasury Shaw, and came as a surprise to many Portland people. About the most surprised man was Mr. Matthews himself, as neither he nor any of his friends had asked that he be given the appointment It was thought up to yesterday that the funds would be disbursed direct from Washington, D. C, and that checks would be made out here by a special agent sent from the East. This is the course, it is stated, that i3 now being pursued at the St. Louis Exposition, and complaints are many and loud. The appointment of united States Marshal Matthews as disbursing agent for the $475,000 Government money at the 1905 Exposition means that the money will be deposited by the Govern ment in one of the two banks in this city that have heretofore been desig nated by the Treasury Department as United States depositaries, and that checks given by Mr. Matthews at his office in the present Postoffice building can be cashed at the bank holding the Government Exposition money. The first slice of the' 5475,000 will go to the contractors engaged In erecting th,e Government buildings, and the balance for matorial and salaries. Mr. Mat thews will, of course, act as United States Marshal, in addition to his duties as special disbursing agent.
