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.

Here's good news for the youngsters Old Kris wired lis yesterday that
her would ,have to comb to the store tomorrow and greatly increase his stock
.of things to make little folks happy Hadn't planned for such; a-great increase
of population as Portland has experienced the past year. Tou know the Meier
&. Frank store Is his headquarters, because the assortments are largest and
merchandise the beat While doing his shopping he's only too glad to meet
the little ones, shake their hands and promise to do his best to bring them
just what they ask for. Old Kris prefers to have them come., with their
mamma's, so he can arrange about hl3 visit during the early hours of the
morning of the 24th. You see, many of' the chimneys on Portland homes won't
permit his entrance. In that case door or window must be left open. His tele
gram reads: "Will arrive promptly at 2:S0 o'clock Tuesday." Don't deny the
children the pleasure of seeing him. The thousands who saw him last Friday
will testify "as to his kindness and humor.
