THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THtTRSBAT, MARCH 23, 1905.
CHEF HUNT FACES INQUISITION
axaj witnesses but two wear
his livery axd ont.y one gives
damaging testimony.
rj if OTHER effort was made yesterday
t to stick the guff Into Portland's
Chief of Police, but that official
cot away, with a reputation o being' In
vulnerable, from a Police Commission In
vestigation of his official conduct in the
matter of closing saloons at 1 o'clock In
the cold, gray dawn of morning.
In the detectives room at police head
quarters there was a bear-baiting- yester
day afternoon, with Chief Hunt in the
role of bear, and Councilman Flegel as
chief baiter. General Beebe, as a model
of military discipline, and SIg Slchel, a
Senator and cigar merchant of note, were
rererees. "Various employes of the Police
Department and Judge Hogue appeared
for the purpose of giving their part to
ward the tourney.
It was the adjourned Investigation of
the Police Chief on Mr. Flegel's charges
that he Is recreant In the discharge of
his duty. The specific charge was per
mitting saloons to keep open in violation
of the' 1 o'clock closing ordinance, made
and provided by the highly virtuous City
Council. The hearing was brought about
because Mr. Councilman Flegel thought
he had Chief Hunt Jn a corner. He made
certain ugly charges against that officer,
and General Beebe and Big Elchel, who
constitute the majority of the Police
Board, sat In Judgment. Mayor Williams
Is the minority of the commission, but he
was frying; fish of another catch at the
City Hall, and could not sit with the
others.
Chief Hunt's Men Testify.
All the witnesses examined with two ex
ceptions wore the livery of Chief Hunt,
and under such circumstances there could
be no uncertainty as to the result. This,
with a Judiciary bound to stand by the
officer of its making, rendered the case of
Mr. Councilman Flegel hopeless. Flegel is
a zealot, an uncomfortable man to have
about, especially for Chief Hunt. Flegel
Is a bull In the hand-painted china shop
which the present administration has set
up. He refuses to be good, and If certain
pentlemen had their way a stuffed club
would be his portion.
He has a fashion of making things un
comfortable, and yesterday he . excelled
even himself.
Of course, the Investigation reached
nothing. After a dozen witnesses had tes
tified in the premises, the tribunal got up,
put on its hat and walked home.
It was commenced at 2 In the afternoon.
It lasted until 5, and the three precious
hours might Just as well have been spent
in speculating as to the assailant of the
famous William Patterson. The trial was
held in the detectives' room, a spacious
apartment. It is all of 12 feet square, fur
nished with a few debilitated chairs and
pine tables. From the wall looked down
the benevolent framed photograph of a
gent who was hanged at Albany some
time since. The legend on the picture, In
the classic chlrography of Joe Day, ex
plains that the gent was guilty of "triple
murder." There was a wheezy stove and
a library of obsolete city directories. A
beautiful and inspiring forum It was. The
best place to keep detectives I ever saw,
but an unprepossessing place to get at the
truth.
Chief Hunt, In full uniform, looking-
vastly like Grover Cleveland, and smiling
at intervals, sat at one side of the room.
His washed-out, gray eyes, his faded mus
tache and heavy jowl marked him among
all the others as a man of destiny, and
his destiny had a cinch In the present in
stance. He knew It, and only onco or
twice was he disturbed.
The disturbing Mr. Flegel sat opposite
the Chief, where he had vantage ground
for twisting the Eaff. Flegel is as Norse
s the first of the Vikings. Ho is big
featured, smooth of face and red. What
hair the top of his head boasts stands up
In belligerent fashion, and he glows and
pulsates with zeal. He was up against it,
and none knew It better, but he made his
fight with all the more lust.
Inquisition Is Informal.
The inquisition was as informal as an
inquest over the body of a man killed
by the railroad. General Beebe smoked
many black cigars. SIg Slchel busied him
self with displaying his diamond ring
to best advantage. All the rest were po
licemen and newspaper men and Judge
.Hogue. They were witnesses and spec
tators, and didn't matter much.
Mr. Flegel swore the witnesses because
he is also a notary public, and the first
one called was Sergeant Hogeboom. He
testified that the ordinance requiring sa
loons to close at 1 A. M. Is being en
forced, so far as he knows, and that was
about all for him. Following him came
one Harmon, of the "Alcazar," a saloon.
Mr. Harmon Is said to be square. I am
sure of this, because Mr. Flegel an
nounced for publication that he wished
we had more saloon-keepers like Har
mon. He Is well tailored and altogether
a good looking sort Ho came of his own
accord to correct the impression that he
had kept open after hours.
Patrolman Jones, who has a North
End beat, when called, said that there
were 90 saloons In the district which he
and his partner "travel." They had dis
tinct orders from the Chief to see that
the saloons locked their doors at 1 and
closed up shop. He had reported some
places as being open after hours, and on
the strength of his testimony there had
been some convictions. He said hla or
ders were specific from the Chief to re
port all dram shops which kept open
after hours. "My beat Is the busiest one
In town, and there's somcthln' doln' there
all the time, so I couldn't spend all my
time watchln saloons."
Mr. Flegel asked him If ho carried a
tp-laddfr or a. dry-goods box to enable
him to see over the curtains, and the
faithful Javert responded that he "didn't
carry no ladders nor boxes."
The Jones beat Is In the North End and
includes among other public institutions
such places as Erlckson's, Bla'zler's and
Fritz'. He and Patrolman Courtney, his
side partner, arrest more men than any
officers on the force, but don't specialize
on all-night saloons. Both he and Court
ney, who was" called later, were positive
in denying that they had instructions
from Chief Hunt to show any favoritism
In the matter of after-hours saloons.
Other policemen. Including Captain
Bailey, who has a cockney accent and
a languid manner; Sergeant Glover,
who made a good impression for
straightforwardness; Detective Car
penter, a veteran sergeant of police
and plain clothes man: Judge Hogue
without his ermine on. and Patrolman
3-.ee. who was the only one of them
who stirred up any excitement.
All but Lee and Hogue told stories
of the manner In which saloons were
watched to prevent violations of the
law. They agreed as to the instruc
tions given them by the Chief to "play
no favorites." but to arrest any t&loon
found dispensing the seductive booze
in the chill of false dawn which comes
between 1 and 5 among the morning
hours. They told of Instances In which
they had reported violations and se
cured convictions always under orders
from Chief Hunt. They told also of
other instances in which they had
taken measures to convict the law
breakers, but had failed because the
prosecuting attorney decided there
was lack of evidence. They "all stood
loyally by the Chief except the two
named, and their testimony was much
alike.
Lee's Testimony Damaging.
Then came Patrolman Lee. who made
a reputation by turning in a Job-lot
of complaints against after-hours sa
loons. On the witness stand Lee was
plainly rattled. The Chief held him
with his eye, as did the ancient marl-
CHIEF HUNT, A. F. FLEGEL, HIS ACCUSER, AND SOME OF THE WITNESSES'
WHO TESTIFIED AT THE TRIAL
A. F. TXEOEL. .
TWO VIEWS OF CHIEF HUT
ner the youth of long ago, and Flegel
cross-questioned him without mercy or
benefit of clergy. Lee was between the
devil and the deep sea and his story
wandered somewhat.
He declared that while on the Alder
street beat one night last fall, October
2, in fact, he found various places,
among them the Pullman, Royal,
Webb, Olympia and Bohemia, open
after hours, ready and inviting busi
ness. He reported them on the day
following to the chief and, according
to his first story, tho Chief told him
there was not sufficient evidence to
make cases. Chief Hunt then looked
him through and undertook to refresh
Lee's memory by explaining that Lee
and not Hunt had passed professional
opinion on the sufficiency of evidence.
Lee stammered and slilfted uneasily
and ended by verifying the Chief's
version. He said he knew that no
prosecutions gTew out of his reports
and Chief Hunt broke in with: "That's
up to Fitzgerald. I don't take the re
sponsibility for failure to prosecute
after the evidence has been furnished
the prosecuting attorney."
During the Leo testimony there were
several clashes between Chief Hunt and
the members of the board on one side
and Mr. Flegel on the other. It looked
for one stormy moment or two as if there
would be disorderly conduct and assault
and battery, but nothing came of the
clashing of opinions more than a few hot
words and a general reddening of faces.
After Lee had concluded, Mr. Flegel
asked for the copies of the Lee reports
on the saloons which never were pulled.
TO FORM AUTO CLUB
Portland Enthusiasts Hold the
First Meeting.
TO CHECK RECKLESS DRIVING
Purpose of the Organization Will Be
to Promote Automobiling as
Weli as Head Off Unfair
Legislation.
Between 50 and 60 of Portland's auto
mobile enthusiasts met last night In the
rooms of the Commercial Club and took
Initiatory steps toward forming an au
tomobile club. There was an attempt to
organize a club last year, but It fell
through, but now the work has been
taken up In earnest and before another
month passes, by, Portland's Automobile
Club will be a healthy organization.
Robert L. Stevens, Dr; A. E. Mackay,
P. S. Malcolm and a number of others
who are Interested In automobiling Issued
a call for the meeting and they were
agreeably surprised at tho large attend
ance. Mr. Stevens, after getting the
meeting together, was nominated as
temporary chairman, but he declined to
serve and Dr. C B. Brown nominated
P. 3. Malcolm. Mr. Malcolm took the
chair and explained the objeot of the
meeting. He pointed out the necessity
of sooner or later forming an automobile
club, and stated that he believed the
time was ripe. The speaker said that
he believed a club, such as was the In
tention of those presont to form, would
tend to stop reckless driving of cars. Mr.
Malcolm said the club members would
make it a point to assist In punishing all
drivers who drove their machines faster
than the speed limit. He also stated
that as a club the organization would be
In a position to head off any unfair legis
lation directed against automobiles.
"When the public learns," said Mr. Mal
colm, "that this club will place a re
straining hand upon its members regard
ing the rate of speed and the manner in
which the cars should be driven through
the streets, they will not be disposed to
cry for laws that will be detrimental to
automoblltsts."
Before the meeting adjourned Mr. Mal
colm appointed a committee on organiza
tion and by-laws. The chairman of this
committee will be Dr. A. E. Mackay, and
the other members named were W.
N. Jones and A. K. Bentley. It will be
the duty of this club to obtain from sev
eral of the Eastern automobile clubs
copies of their constitutions and by-laws
and they will be used as a basis for the
Portland organization. At the next meet
ing, which will be called shortly, a perma
nent organization will be formed. At this
meeting the question of clubrooms will
be taken up. as will also plans for en
tertaining visiting automobile clubs and
excursionists. The following were pres
ent last night and signified their Inten
tion of Joining the club:
William Wallace. Charles II ton, W. L.
Keats, E. E. Miller, D. T. Honeyman,
H. E. Wood. H. Wlmms. Ben Holladay.

and Chief Hunt, in a buff, lumbered
down stairs for them. They showed that
the officer had reported In writing against
the houses named, finding a bad state of
affairs against them. To Mr. Flegel's
mind, as he expressed it, there was
something significant In the fact that no
prosecutions, were ever brought agalnet
any of thcin, and that almost imme
diately Mr. Lee was transferred to an
other beat and told to mind his own busi

BOWEN IS RETAKEN
Escaped Prisoner Arrested at
Scappoose.
WAS WORKING AT OLD TRADE
Man Captured by Officer Taylor and
Sentenced to County Jail, Where
He Escaped, Is Returned
to Serve Out His Sentence."
William Bowen, who escaped from the
County Jail about a week ago. was re
captured near Scappoose yesterday by
Under Sheriff Morden, and returned to
the Jail.
Bowen and a confederate were observed
by Officer Taylor several months ago
hiding back of a fence at Twelfth and
Morrison streets. Taylor thought they
acted suspiciously, and began to investi
gate. Slipping up to the fence, he cov
ered the pair with his revolver. They
woro masks and carried weapons.
Keeping them covered. Officer Taylor
cried for assistance. He was heard by a
resident in the vicinity, who, acting upon
the -officer's orders, called the Central
Station and asked for the patrol wagon,
stating that an officer had captured two
highwaymen.
When the patrol arrived Officer Taylor
was found guarding the two men in the
dark. Such were the circumstances that
he had not dared to attempt to conduct
his prisoners to a patrol box. for fear
they would make a dash to escape, in tho
darkness. On the way to the station
Bowen admitted that he and his com
panion, seeing Taylor approaching, and
not knowing him to be an officer, had
preoared to hold him up. For his" work
Officer Taylor was promoted to the rank
of Sergeant.
At the trial It developed that no actual
robbery had been committed, and the
two were convicted of simple assault and
sentenced to SO days in the County Jail.
About a week ago, while engaged in
carrying wood Into the Jail, Bowen
escaped. He returned to bis scow and
went down the river to engage In fish
ing, his occupation. Word was received
by Sheriff Word yesterday that Bowen
was at Scappoose, and Under Sheriff
Morden was sent there. He returned with
his man.
