11 THE MORNIXG OBEGdMAST, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1904. NOT SO YERY BUSY City, Detective Force Solves : No Mysteries, MURDERERS ARE UNCAUGHT Latck'of System In Police Department Is Responsible for Absence of Arrests In Many Serious - Criminal Cases. For Jthe murder of Ir. Lee Sing Norn, who was slain early In August last, no arrests have been made by detectives of the Portland police force, though there Is a reward of $500 for "the arrest and conviction of the murderer. There are no new developments in the Breuer murder case because no detective in the city Is working on the case. It having been abandoned. The case of the dead baby found in a grip at the Union Station remains at a standstill. Jfo detective Is now working on this case. No arrests have been made for the sa loon .hold-up in Albino, and, to explain their inactivity, the police say that they deem the crime the work of tramps who immediately left town. Excellent de scriptions of these three criminals were furnished the police, but no officer is working regularly on the case. With these cases to be solved, five de tectives are putting In their time on such trivial matters as collecting reports of Tioimni rHriis nrrestinir teonle for rid ing wheels on sidewalks and corralling habitual drunkards. Those detectives reDort to no captain. and whe a crime occurs It Is rarely that a. captain can find a detective .to answer the alarm and get the scent wnne n is hot. All of which is a part of the system. i rtovAinrwd vAsterdav that there Is even a limit to ihe patience of a "heathen Chinee." When Dr. Lee Sing Nom wa3 murdered, the Lee Company, to which the murdered man belonged, knowing the principles of Portland police business, of fcrvi immpfHatelv a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the physician's assailant, placing the casn in me nanas f fhn Chief of Police. In spite of this fact, there have been no arrests for the Hmft- nnd are likely to be none, as no detective was working on the case after 4Vi T-cf thro fliivn after its occurrence. Dr. Lee Sing Nom was murdered at 10 o'clock at night. The first detective to be detailed on the case was assigned at 10 nVinnV thn following morning, -ine mem bers of the Lee Company held a meeting yesterday afternoon, at which the names of th heads of the Police Department were handled roughly. The outcome of the meeting was not made public but It was hinted that a delegation of members from the company would wait on Chief Hunt today and tell him a few facts with a choice assortment of Chinese metapnors i-hm-am in cxatis. The Chinamen declare that the physician was slain by a drunken man and that, baa a oetecuve Deen as signed to the case that night the man micht hav been caotured. They also declare that either the detectives are not giving the proper attention to ine case nv nr numoselv Iroorinff the guilty per- nn And rtiev mav double the reward In tbs near future, If Ihey are assured that such a course will net results. The members of Portland's detective force were yesterday busy in the follow ing manner: Detective Vaughn was in Seattle at tempting to secure the return xf George jaroeau, who stole and pawned furs to the amount of J1200. Detective Joe Day was preparing to aid Detective Vaughn. Detective Welner was awaiting the leis ure of Detective Day before working on a case. "Welner is Day's partner. Detective Hartman was awaiting the re ceipt of a letter from "Walla Walla in re gard to the man he arrested for selling numerous pairs of shoes. Detective Snow arrested a youth for pur loining a bicycle and the owner hesitated about -prosecuting, saying there was a mistake. Detective Kerrigan, as Snow's partner, was locking up the pedigree of the youth who stols the wheel. "Anything doing In the Breuer case?" one detective was asked. "Naw! Haven't you forgotten that yet?" was the answer. . ' "How about the baby in the grip?" "Nothing new." "How about the Chinese case?" "Nothing new." "How about the Alblna hold-up men?" "Nothing doing." "Nothing new at all" "Yes, I heard a cracking good story today on Joe Day." And thus the Sherlock Holmes of he Portland force solve somber mysteries and receive the plaudits of the press and the people. -It's part of the system. EASY PAYMENTS. $1.00 Per Week.
