12 THE MOBNING QREGONIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBEK 5, 190$. MANY FOUND OPEN Police Discover Saloonmen Breaking the Ordinance. SPECIALS SAID TO BE SPIES Regular Officers Complain That They Act as Lookouts and Warn Sa loonkeepers When a Policeman Approaches Any Resort. SAIGON'S REPORTED. Gem On Sixth street, between Wash ington and Alder. Pullman Cafe On Fifth street, between Washington and Alder. Tuxedo On Alder street, between Fourth and Fifth. Maze Cafe On Third street, between Tamhlll and Taylor. " Fritz' On Burnslde, between Second and Third. . Though the police -were very careful to keep from the public the Investigation of last nleht relative to saloons being open after hours. It tvas learned that Captain Bailey and another officer, in plain clothes, visited the greater number of resorts In the central part of the city and reported five to the Chief of Police as not regarding the ordinance requiring them to close at 1 A. M. Along -with this fact comes the startling statement that Chief Hunt will be told today that special officers -who draw reve nue from some of the saloons known to be breaking the law, have been posing as lookouts, and have given the signal when ever Captain Bailey or his men heave in sight, that their patrons may be prop erly protected. It Is whispered that sev ral cases, of this character, involving nearly every special officer working in the central part of the city, will be re ported to Chief Hunt this morning. Following out the orders of his chief. Captain Bailey made a personal investiga tion of the situation, and succeeded in .discovering that saloons throughout the city were breaking the provisions of the ordinance. "Warrants are expected to be issued this morning for a number of the proprietors, and other arrests will follow as rapidly as Information can be gained and evidence collected. The work Is be ing done quietly, the police, while not at tempting to subdue the facts, being very reluctant about making their discoveries public. It is expected that the plain clothes work will continue indefinitely, the captain of the relief spending a part of his time on the outside of the station. CASE WELL END TODAY. Final Arguments to Be Made In the Land-Fraud Trial. Today at 10 o'clock the Federal Court will convene for the last chapter In the land-fraud case, which has been trailing its course before the public for the past 12 days. Judge Thomas O'Day will deliver the argument for the defense and will bo followed by Francis J. Heney for the prosecution, who will -mako the closing argument for the Government, provided the defense does not claim its right of two speakers, in which event the argument will be closed by John Hall. It is not thought probable that Judge O'Day will occupy all of the forenoon with his statement, as he has simply to deal, so far as is known, with, the technical phases of the trial. Outside of that it is generally supposed that the long-pent-up feelings of the speaker will lead him into a train of ridicule and satire directed against the credibility of the Govern ment witnesses and the conduct of the case, -wh'lch will be of interest to the audience as well as to the jury. The case will go to the jury in all prob ability by 5 o'clock in the evening and It Is not considered likely that a verdict will be long in coming. The second case of the series will be commenced on Tuesday, December 13. This is a case in which Miss Ware Is the principal figure, sTie sharing the limelight about equally with McKinley. Here Miss Ware, in her capacity as Land Commis sioner, acted in conjunction with Mc Kinley, so it Is alleged, in securing six quarter sections of land in townships 24 and 5 south of range 1 east. McKinley procured most of this land by means of false affidavits which he made before Miss Ware. She passed the proofs sub mitted to her by McKinley and sent them to Washington, where patents wero Is sued to them. At this juncture Puter and Watson stepped In and disposed of the lands to the. profit of all concerned. This, in brief, is the case alleged by the Government. From the testimony ad duced at the trial just closing, and from the statement of the Government that its case in the second instance is stronger. if .anything, than that which has been listened to during the past 12 days, It would 'seem that the defendants can hope lor but utue irom tne trial.
