George H. "Williams. Mayor of the City of Portland, ex-United State Senator, ex-Chief Justice of Oregon Territory", Attorney-General in the .Cab inet "of President Grant, the first choice of President Grant for Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, is the man. and the charge is that on July 13, 1904. Judge "Williams, while acting in the capacity of Mayor of Portland, refused to mforce section 191 of the statute reg ulating gambling. With Mayor Williams were Indicted Chief of Police Charles H. Hunt, the "Cj3Xe being malfeasance: William C. EHlqc ex-City Engineer, on a charge of attempting to obtain money from the City of Portland under false pretenses, and Henry Chandler and J. M. Caywood, Inspectors In the Engineer's office, and R. M., and E. W. Rlner, contractors for the rebuilding of the Tanner-Creek sewer, on the same charge. There were also in dicted. M. G. Nease and J. N. Fleshman, of the Warwick Club, for maintaining a nuisance In the form of a gambling game declared Injurious to public morals and ns outraging public decency, and six pris oners for various felonies and mlsde- meanors. Charges Against Mayor Williams. The law Mayor "Williams Is accused of falling to enforce was passed during the last session of the Legislature, and it gives. the Mayor power to close disorderly houses within a four-mile limit of the city. It ft alleged In the Indictment re turned that the Mayor failed to 'avail him .self of this power invested in him. The Indictment further states that on July 13, 1904. Nathan Solomon and Peter Grant conducted a gambling-house at the prem ises known as the Portland Club, situat ed at 130 Fifth street, and that the Mayor took no steps toward causing their appre hension for disregarding the law govern ing such cases, and permitted them to maintain a nuisance -which was injurious to public morals and an outrage against public decency. The witnesses examined by the grand jury while they -were investigating the charges against Mayor Williams were: Councilmen L. Zimmerman and A. F. Flegel; Policemen J. A. Goltx. H. T. Gib son, F. Hart, O. F. Isakson, Grlf Roberts, Police Sergeant Hogeboom; Police Cap tains G. H. Bailey ami Charles Grjtz macher; General Charles F. Beebee, mem ber of the Executive Board and senior member of the police committee of that body: George H. Howell, a member of the Executive Board: D. A. Pattullo and John Bain of the Municipal League; F. A. Frazler. L. Hirsh, Municipal Judge Harry W. Hogue. O. P. M. Jameson, W. L. Johnston. E. O. Magoon. F. L. Olsen, clerk of the Municipal Court; T. W. Vreeland, ex-Justice of the Peace, and L. W. Robertson. ex-Chief of Police. Chief Hunt Accused. Chief of Police Charles H. Hunt, who has spent the greater part of his life in police work In Rhode Island and Oregon. Is charged with malfeasance also, the charges being almost the same as those against Mayor Williams. The Indictment returned against the Chief alleges that on October 23. 1904, a gambling game was being conducted at the Portland Club; that Peter Grant and Nathan Solomon were the proprietors of the club, and that Chief Hunt was aware of the fact that the game was running, and knew the men responsible, but made no effort to have the guilty parties ap jirchended. Section 1S3 of the charter of the City of Portland Is cited, and It Is alleged that the Chief of Police disregard ed the obligation imposed upon him by this section. The same witnesses who testified before the grand jury for and against the Mayor testified In the case of Chief of Police Hunt. Results of Sewer Scandal. The indictments returned against El liott. Chandler. Caywood and the Riners come as results of the Tanner-Creek sewer scandal exposed within tho last few months. The Indictments cite the or dlnancc providing for the repair of tho Tanner-Creek sewer, and goes on to say that the Executive Board awarded the contract for the reconstruction to the Riners. The indictment alleges that, though the work was done done accord ing to contract. Inspector Caywood cer tified that such was the case, that he had checked and recorded the manholes. branches and catchbaslns and that in number and position they were correct. This report of Inspector Caywood, the indictment explains, was approved by City Engineer Elliott, and upon the approval the work was accepted by the Executive Board. The indictment charges the men with attempting to get money from the city under false pretenses, by attempting to obtain remuneration for work improp erly done, when they knew that the terms of the contract had not been com piled with throughout. "Witnesses In Sewer Case. "The witnesses who testified before the grand Jury in tho cases of men indicted for fraud In connection with the Tanner- Creek sewer were: City Auditor T. C ttevlin.

Charles Keith, for the larceny of 10.000 cigars from tho O. R. & N. Co. on No vember 27, 1904. Mayor Has Little to Say. When asked to make a statement re garding his indictment. Mayor George H. "Williams declined, saying: "I have not read the indictment, and do not know with what I am charged. I do not wish to rush Into the papers, and can say nothing at present I am a man who prefers to deliberate over a matter such as this, .and for that reason I have no desire to be Interviewed on the sub ject. In a few days I may say something to you, but I cannot promise." His Honor apparently endeavored to eliminate all concern over the return of the Indictment, but, nevertheless, he could not help but betray some emotion. Chief Hunt Will Not Talk. When asked concerning the indictment returned against him by the grand Jury. Chief of Police Hunt would not make a statement. "I have nothing to say," he stated. "I have not seen a copy of the indictment and do not know exactly what it contains. I have absolutely nothing to say." The Chief does, however, deny the al leged graft of $303 from the slot macblno people. "I know who E. O. Magoon Is, said the Chief. "He Is one of four men represent ing nlckic-ln-the-slot machine companies. He put up cash bonds upon warrants issued from the Municipal Court for his arrest. The bail was fixed by the District Attorney. This money, amounting to quite a sum, was turned over to the Municipal Court, as is done In all such cases. A receipt was given. The money was given the clerk of the Municipal Court and from there went into the City Treasury. This is the only money transaction that ever occurred between these people and the Police Department." At the time under discussion some of the Councilmen suggested that the ma chines be allowed to run under a fine system This was tried for a time, but Mayor Williams, upon being made aware of it, ordered it stopped. Contradictory to the statement of the Chief comes the statement of Fred Olsen. clerk of the Municipal Court, who says that the warrants for the slot machine men were not made out by the court, but by the Chief himself In his own hand writing, and they are now on file among the records of the Municipal Court, to gether with a typewritten list of the 26 machines under Magoon's management, showing the location of each machine, the list having been made by the stenographer at Police Headquarters upon request of thrfChief. Elliott Makes Statement. Upon being made aware of the indict ment returned against him. ex-City En gineer Elliott made the-following state ment: When the foundation on which the grand Jury acted la known the public can see how absurd the Indictment is. The grand Jury had mo before it for four hours one day when In vestigating the matter. Before I became a public officer, yes, long before I even thought of running for City En gineer, Mr. Killing? worth came to my offloe, at Third and Stark streets, and asked me to take his son out with a surveying party. I agreed to do o. and then Mr. Kllllngsworth said that he and Mr. Warren had a piece of land on the Peninsula which they wished surveyed, and he asked me what I would charge for the Job. I figured on the proposition with him for tome time, and finally submitted a bid which he sold was satisfactory. Mr. Kllllngsworth was not ready at the time, however, to have the property surveyed, nor was he ready for months afterward. Subsequently, I was nomlnatd and elected City Engineer. Then, one day, Mr. Kllllngsworth called and eald he was prepared to have the land on the Peninsula attended to. I Informed him that It was im possible for me to do the work, as I teas a public official, and If I did any private work while holding the position there would be a howl go up from some one who would assert that I was. uilng my position to get outside work. I advised him to engage the services of some other surveyor. Then Mr. Kllllngsworth suggested that during the Summer, when tho field deputies were having their vacation, some one of them could do the work. To this I re plied that such an arrangement would suit mo if any of the boys In the office preferred work ing during their vacation to resting. Henry Chandler was the first to have a vaca tion, and therefore, he was the first one I told of the Kllllngsworth opening. Chandler came Into the office, and I asked him where he in tended spending his vacation. He said he thought he would go to the mountains. I told him that Kllllnrsworth and "Warren had a piece of land which was to be surveyed, told him the circumstances of my meeting with Mr. Kllllngsworth. "If you want to go over there and do the Job, you can have It." I continued to Mr. Chandler, "for Mr. Killings worth eald that anyone I sent to him would be satisfactory. You can either go to the moun. tains, the coast or anywhere you like on your vacation, or you can do this bit of work." Mr. Chandler stated that If there was an oppor tunity for him to make a little money during his vacation he would rather earn it than take a trip out of town. Mr. Kllllngsworth engaged Mr. Chandler, and the latter surveyed the land. He hired the necessary assistants and I sent & Frenchman to help him, the Frenchman being out of em ployment and having been sent to me with a note urging that I help him out. When Mr. Chandler received his money be handed me about SCO In payment for tome stakes, which had to be painted two or three times, and some other incidentals. As a matter of fact, my ex penses in work amounted to something like. $23, for I figured out that I was out approx imately Just 5. When Mr. Chandler was called before the grand Jury he related a. straightforward story of the affair, and concluded hla statement by saying that he had given me the $20. or what ever the som was. Mr. Chandler knew that the transaction wes perfectly legitimate, and did not think of going Into details, and the grand Jury, instead of questioning him wuy he had made a settlement. Jumped at the con clusion that there wa a cae of graft In eight. This is the plain truth of the affair, and It was on this foundation that the grand Jury made Its return. iXOTJE TRADE "WITH lAPABf.
