THE MOKNJDSTG OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1904.
DETAINS HIS GRIP
Sheriff Remains in Possession
of Poolroom.
GIVES AN INDEMNITY BOND
Juttic Scton Sustains Contention of
Proprietor That Word Has No
Right to Keep Premises, but
Case Is Appealed.
"Gambling Is simply a form of highway
robbery and has no "standing whatever
in the eyes of the law, and the place or
house In which It is. carried on has no
more rights than a robbers' nest. If
ihls nian will promise that he will not
again resume gambling In his place of
business then we will not further hold
the premises, but until he shall do this,
the Sheriff of this county s supreme."
This was the language of Attorney
Henry McGinn yesterday morning in Jus
tice Seton's Court, in the case of 1L C.
Nease to recover possession of his prem
ises, recently raided by Sheriff "Word and
still held by him, in reply to the con
tention of "Attorney E. B, Watson that
the allegations of the separate answers
to the plaintiff's complaint had no foun
dation in fact or in law.
The complaint simply sets forth that
Nease Is unlawfully prevented by Sheriff
Word from enjoying the possession of his
premises, In which he had been conduct
ing a saloon prior to November, 1904.
It Is set forth In the answer filed yester
day that the Sheriff of Multnomah County
fes in duty bound to proceed against gamb
llngf that Nease conducted a gambling
house; that he invited and defied the
Sheriff to arrest him; tl)at he conducted
a gambling-house on November 1, which
was known to the Sheriff and to others,
and that he threatens to again, restore
gambling In this house when he regains
possession. The answer proceeds to say
that the Sheriff retains possession of the
premises lor no other purpose than to
.prevent Nease again conducting a gambling-house
under the gui of a saloon;
that the defendant, as Sheriff of Mult
nomah County, never has had any Inten
tion of holding the gambling-house any
longer than until sruch time as assurances
are given that the plajntlff will not vio
late the laws of the state In setting up
and keeping a gambling-house, and. that
when plaintiff will give this assurance
his property will be restored to him.
Attorney E. B. Watson, for the plaintiff,
submitted a demurrer to the allegation's.
saying that "there was no fact nor law
that would justify an officer la holding
the premises of a citizen on the ground
that a crime might be committed there.
Justice Seton sustained the demurrer, and
the case went to trial on the denials In the
answer to the complaint
Nease testified that he was in possession
of his premises on Fourth street, con
ducting a saloon, November 1, when sev
eral Deputy Sheriffs placed him and oth
ers under arrest and took possession of
toe promises; and that, althbugh ho had
demanded : possession of the house since,
he had been refused admission.
Cross-examined by Attorney McGinn.
Nease said he had a license from the
City of Portland, under, the recently
passed ordinance, to run a commission
poolhouse.
"Now," said Mr. McGinn, "is it your
intention to again conduct a commission
poolhouse If you regain possession of the
premises?" ;
Attorney Gearln objected to the ques
tion and Justice Seton sustained the ob
jection. "Will you promise here In the court
that you will hot run a commission pool
house If you are given possession of the
premises?" again Interrogated Attorney
McGinn.
The question was again objected by At
torney Gearln and the objection was -sustained.
"Very well," said Judge McGinn, "we
will appeal the case to the Circuit Court."
Two bonds were filed, one for twice
the value of the property held, for the
appeal, and one for twice the amount of
the rent, furnished by the "United States
Fidelity & Guaranty Company, which
stays the execution of the Judgment ob
tained by Nease In the Justice Court for
restitution of the premises, until the case
is settled in the Circuit Court.
AT THE THEATERS
What the Press Agents Say.
CHAMPION JEFFRIES TONIGHT
James J. Jeffries to Present "Davy
Crockett" at Marquam Grand.
Frank Mayo's sterling frontier drama,
"Davy, Crockett." in which Champion
James J. Jeffries and his own company
will appear at the Marquam Grand The
ater tonight. Is replete with whole-souled
interest which never lags. The back
woodsman is a lovable character, strong,
simple and surcharged with an admirable
manliness that makes' him Irresistibly
popular. James J. Jeffries plays the title
role in the production. In weaving the
story around this character of the back
woods. Mayo selected a string of Interest
ing Incidents ranging from" the deepest
humor to soul-stirring climaxes, inter
spersing it throughout with characters
that nave made the drama a by-word in
every household. After the performance
Jeffries will give a physical culture dem
onstration with his sparring partner, Jo
seph Kennedy, which Is an illustration of
scientific boxing in three rounds. Elec
tion returns will be read from the stage.
Stirring Climax at Columbia.
There are few playwrights who could
have thought out a more stirring climax
to a melodrama than did Belasco when
he wrote the stockade scene in The
Girl I Left Behind Me." In none of tho
favorite war plays Is the strain upon
the audience more intense. The hand
ful of cavalry and women are surround
ed in a small fortress by bloodthirsty
Indians. The wires communicating with
relief have been cut. . One courier has
tried to pass the lines and has been
killed. Peace overtures with the Indian
chief have failed utterly. The tribes
men have lighted their bonfires and are
but waiting for daylight to begin the at
tack and slaughter. Lieutenant Hawkes
worth has gone with the message for re
lief. His fate is unknown. He is late
in returning. The prisoners have but
a lingering hope, when the Indian girl.
Fawn, brings Hawkesworth's hat into the
stockade with the news of his death.
Then all hope is abandoned. The attack
begins. The Indians have overcome the
defenders. The fortress is falling. The
Indian chief has sworn a worse venge
ance than death upon the General's
daughter, and the loving father has bis
pistol pressed to the girl's head, ready
to nre when
Well, the next moment the auditorium
is a bedlam of enthusiastic frenzy. The
strata te broken and the curtain is raised
and kmred half -score of times,, poly
Belasco could so surprise, so astound, his
audiences.
"The Girl I Left Behind Me" was al
ways a favorite, and it was never so well
done as by the Columbia Theater stock
company this week.
Returns at'Cordray's.
Mason and Mason, in their big comedy
extravaganza success, "Frits and Snltz,"
have already demonstrated the fact that
the public taste Is ripe for a first-class
attraction of this sort at common-sense
prices. It requires a large company of
comedians, vocalists and dancers.
By "special arrangement with the West
ern Union Telegraph Gpmpany, the man
agement has arranged for a special wire
to the stage, and an expert telegrapher
will be op duty to receive election returns.
Which will be announced to the audience
during the performance and until morn
ing. The theater will be kept open all
night and the returns will be received
until the election In every state in the
Union has been decided.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Advance Sale Today.
This morning at 10 o'clock the advance
sale of seats will open for the big musical
comedy success, "The Tenderfoot," which
comes to the Marquam Grand Theater
next Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights,
November 10, 11, 12, with a. special-price
matinee Saturday. The story Is laid in
Texas and on the Mexican border and
as a consequence affords a new and bril
liant idea for opera and delivers into
the hands of the scenic artists and cos
tumer grand opportunities for novelty and
color theme. Altogether, "The Tender
foot" may be considered a most welcome
musical offering.
AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS
Star.
If ever a vaudeville team deserved the
title "great," It Is the toplincr trio at the
Star this week, Sylvester, Jones and
Prlngle comedians, singers and funmak
ers. When here on their last visit they
made a tremendous 'hit. and will surely
duplicate their success on this occasion.
Their first-class work shows how three
clever young men gifted with naturally
good voices can raise vaudeville singing
to a high plane. The baritone sings
"You're the Sweetest Flower That Grows
in Tennessee," and the basso cantante
sings a sea song, his lowest notes reach
ing to his boots. His voice Is a telling
one. The darky of the trio scored an
instantaneous hit with his rollicking
"Mississippi Mamie." Paul Le Croix is
a good comedy juggler, his hat and cigar
tricks being most amusing and enter
taining. The Lippincotts, dancers and
singers, solve the question of when a girl
should marry, and Cameron and Toledo
shine in their operatic extravaganza. New
pictures are shown by the projecloscope.
and Hall, Weston and Coburn amuse with
their comedy, "Charge It to Bill."
Baker.
Miss Ethel Fuller Is appearing In vaude
ville on the same stage at the Baker,
where a few weeks ago she was leading
lady with Melbourne MacDowelL Miss
Fuller Is doing the "curse scene" from
"Leah," and Is adding to the laurels she
has already won In Portland. She was
given a hearty welcome by packed houses
at every performance of the Baker yes
terday and last night.
The entire bill this week at the Baker
Is an unusually attractive one. The Kll
ties trio make a hit-with their Scotch
dialect songs and music. Perry and Sims
are a couple of clever sketch artl3ts and
Eva Batchelder Perkins, the singing car
toonist, presents something rather new
In the vaudeville line, Adelphla Is clever
In, shadowgraphs, and in fact the entire
bill Is ono not to be missed.
Arcade.
Baby Kelly Is really a little child who
dances, tells stories and cracks jokes.
showing talent that would make many an
older person envious. He Is one of the
biggest attractions this week at the Ar
cade, and his definition of the difference
between Uncle Sara, a rooster and an old
maid, provoked peals of laughter. His
father wears stunning clothes, and the
trio also pleases In dancing and In the
singing of two songs, "Mandy" and
"Barney, Come Home Once More." Have
you ever heard a real little girl sing songs
lo ner doiu .No? well, you'll have
chance to hear tho rarity by watching
Irene Kober, novelty artist, who sings
with a tuneful voice a charming ditty
about a dolly that Is sick because tho
sawdust fell out. The girl performer In
the Le Clair and West team has a pleas
Ing soprano voice, which she uses to good
effect in the lullaby song from "Er-
mlnle." Her partner makes fun and sings
a song, "If X Were a Millionaire," telling
tho great things he would accomplish. The
bioscope shows a snow scene, and an
amusing difficulty with a chimney-sweep.
Kate Coyle sings "When the Frost. Is on
the Pumpkins, Maggie Dear." The Mor
rises, physical culture exponents, complete

Lyric.
me .LA'tic as usual has a full pro
gramme of musical turns this week with
bright, clever songs and a dozen new
steps to every dance. The liyric na3
earned its fame as a comedy house and
Introduces tuneful songs and catchy music
every week. Yesterday afternoon tho bill
for the next six days opened with Leon
ard and Fulton, high-class vaudeville
comedians, witty and funny. Following
came Dunn, the mimic, who can Imitate
any sound ever heard and put a laugh In
It. His Instrumental Imitations make the
audience look around to see if the in
strument Itself is not hidden somewhere.
The Shetland Sisters brought on next the
ever-welcome song and dance turn made
especially attractive by these little, sou
brettes. Hoyt has a new illustrated song
In Down at the Baby Store." And like
a good show, when the audience had
thought It had Its dime's worth, Weston
and Beasley, acrobatic artists, song and
dance specialists, funny people, added half
a dollar s worth themselves.
Bijou.
There arc no dull moments In the new
bill at the Bijou. While tho whole bill
is a good one, tho hit of all Is Roberts,
Smllax & Co., with their trained bull
terriers. Trained bull terriers are a rari
ty, but those at the Bijou are smarter than
some people and do some unusually clever
wings, as weu as some funny ones. The
dogs are presented with a comedy and
nign-Kiciung act which Is really good.
The Baxters, aerial cyclists, do some
wonderful things on the -slackwlre with
bicycles. Not less clever are the Bern-
Beys In a hoop-rolling and sketch-team
act. Mattel Maitland Is a good contor
tion dancer, and so on through the pro
gramme. It Is an entertaining one.
The moving-picture machine this week
presents the "Train Bobbery," a realistic
presentation and one of the best films ex
tant.

FIGHTING GAME MAY OPEN
SPORTS HAVE HOPES AUTHOR!.
TIES WILL NOT INTERFERE.
District Attorney and Sheriff Both
Decline, to Discuss the Subject
at Present.
"Will the prizefighting game be re
opened in Portland?'' la the question which
local sports are just now discussing. The
prevailing opinion is that the good old
times, when two "gents" were permitted
to pull oft a polite "go" without molesta
tion from the authorities, are about to
come again.
Galk of the revival of prizefighting here
was. freely Indulged In yesterday, the un
derstanding being that the officers will
make this concession to tho sports as a
feeler. If the storm of protest Is not
too violent, other concessions will probably
follow to the end that Portland will again
ba made open, and a "live one," in sport
ing parlance.
Tommy Burns, a well-known Chicago
pug, struck town yesterday for the pur
pose of Investigating local conditions
with a view of arranging a mill here In
the near future with Dave Barry, the
San Francisco middleweight. He spent
the day In conference with Tommy Tra
cey and other local lights, and announced
last night that he had received assurances
that a fight could be negotiated here with
out interference from the authorities.
Burns Is a middleweight of considerable
importance, and is understood to bare
plenty of Chicago money back of him.
He recently fought a draw with Billy
Woods, the colored boy, at San Francisco,
and is anxious to get another chance at
liim. He declares that he should have
had the decision on the former occasion,
but was Jobbed out of It because of the
heavy bets which the 'Frisco talent had
on Woods. If be cannot secure a bout
with Barry he will attempt to arrange
another meeting with Woods, and In
either event he wants to fight In Pdriland.
"This la a good fight town, and I be
lieve tho time Is rlht to pull off bouts
here again," said he last night. "I've
been told that the authorities will let
Us clone and X shall stay here the rest of
the .week to Jrjr and fix it, I'm ia.oor-
najjBuayaco wjui oan .erancisco men
about meeting one of the California fight
ers here, and think I will succeed In ar
ranging for a fight here before long. Of
course, If I don t receive the proper en
couragement here I'll go to the California
town.
When District Attorney John Manning
and bhcrlir word were approached on
the subject of a revival of prizefighting
in Portland, and the Burns proposition in
particularr they both declined to discuss
the matter. Mr. Manning pleaded Ignor
ance of Fighter Burns presence in the
city, but said he had heard that Tommy
Tracey was quietly working up a mill of
some sort, "They have had no ass lo
an ces from mo," said Mr. Manning.
"You'd better ask Tom word about It.'
The Sheriff displayed considerable tem
per when approached on the subject, and
declined to talk prizefights or prizefighters
for the edification of his constituents.
And the sports are still figuring, and
hoping and winking the other eye.

such books would be required to contain the' matter embraced

all reference works in size, but in fhe conspicuous eminence of
its contributors, the completeness of its articles, and in its clear
and lucid style of treating subjects, at stands today the most
monumental collection of useful knowledge ever brought to
gether into a set of books.
Among its American, contributors are such authorities as
General Nelson A. Miles, the author of the article on "Coa'st
Defences f Hon. Carroll D. Wright, U. S. Commissioner of
Labor; Cardinal Gibbons, who writes on "The Catholic
Church;" Walter Camp, the famous authority on football;
