GRAND JURY
MEETS TOQftY
Alleged Municipal Crookedness
Is to Be Thoroughly
Investigated.
RUMELIN IS UNDER FIRE
Deal Alleged to Have Been Engi
neered by That Councilman Will
Be Probed, and Similar
blatters Looked Into.
This is tho day that is set for probing
into al of the alleged municipal scandals
that have been aired in print. This morn
inSt providing- that District Attorney John
Manning Is on hand, Judge A. L. Prazer
will call tne grand Jury, whose duty it
will be to investigate not only the Front
ptrcet bridge bribery case, but will also
investigate the alleged scandal In the
street paving contracts, the alleged blan
ket franchise, in which $7000 is said to
have been divided between eight Coun
cilmen and one city official, and tho
charges of trickery in the refusal of the
Independent Telephone Company's fran
chise. The "first case that this grand jury will
take up 'is the alleged bribery charges
against C. E. Rumelln. Rumelln is
ciiarged with having offered W. C. El
liot, at that time City Engineer, a certain
sum of money. Information has been filed
against Bumclin by the District Attor
ney, and naturally this will come before
the grand jury's attention first.
Rumors of Graft.
For months past there have been ru
mors of grafting going on by a certain
clique of Councilmen, but the charges
were only rumors until ex-City Engineer
Elliot went before Mr. Manning and gave
information against Bumelin. The'namea
of other Councilmen have been linked
with that of Bumelin, but as yet no spe
cific charges have been lodged against
them with the District Attorney. Mr.
Manning, while he is in possession of a.
great deal of hearsay testimony regard
ing the other Councilmen whose names
have been connected with the alleged
graft, is still at work. Between 40 and 50
persons supposed to have knowledge of
municipal crookedness have been sum
moned to appear before Mr. Manning.
They have told what they know, but just
how incriminating this information is
against these city officials, Mr. Manning
refuses to state.
Rumelin's activity in behalf of the Cali
fornia Construction Company, to have the
contract which had been granted to the
Pacific Construction Company of Everett,
"Wash., set aside and given to the Califor
nia company. Is what has brought this
city father under fire. The contract for
the buildlnj of the Front-street bridge
was given to J. J. Maney. manager of the
Pacific Construction Company. The
amount that this company bid for the
work was $53.0M. Bumelin, it is said,
when he found that the contract had been
.warded to this company, sought out M-.
Elliot and wanted to know if he, Elliot,
could not find a flaw in the wc ?t
"Ud pf him that when he found there was
no flaw, he offered FUo certain sum
of mo.-y. tio stoiy has it that the bid
of $53,000 was the lowest, and between that
and the bid of the California Construc
tion Company was $5000. but between the
two bids were several lower ones. These
intermediate bids are alleged to have been
assigned to Maney. In order to award
the bid to the California company It was
necessary for a meeting of the Executive
Board. This board meeting resulted in a
certified check amounting to over 55000 be
ing returned to Maney, and a substitute
check of $5000 given in Its place. Bume
lin Is charged with having engineered the
deal, and for this he will be brought be
fore the grand jury.
MAY KILL THE FRATS
Board of Education 3Iay Follow
Seattle's Example.
Will the Portland Board of Education
follow in the footsteps of the Seattle
High School authorities and place a ban
on the high-school fraternity? There are
some who think that such action will be
taken, though, perhaps, not to become
effective in the present year.
The Seattle authorities, following the
lead of some of the school boards of the
East, have decided that the high-school
fraternity must cease to exist. In accord
ance with this policy, an order has been
issued to the effect that students will be
given until May S to absolve themselves
from fraternity and secret society ties
and obligations in order to reinstate them
selves in the good graces of the school
authorities. It is also provided that in
the future all students participating in
secret society affairs, or encouraging oth
ers to do so, will be deprived of all the
privileges of the school, with the excep
tion of those of the classroom, and all
such students will be denied a diploma
upon the completion of their course of
study.
What will be done in Portland seems to
be a matter of doubt. In fact, there seems
to be a slight division of opinion among
the members of the Board of Education
in regard to the fraternity question. There
are two fraternities and two sororities
among the High School students of Port
land, but all arc, and have been, so well
conducted, and have so closely followed
out the rules laid down for them by the
High School teachers that the evils of
the "baby frat" system are not so evident
as in other cities. This fact may result
in no interference on the part of the
board. Superintendent Blgler, in speak
ing of the subject last night, could see
no reason for causing the board any trou
ble unless some action of the fraternities
forced such action.
T could almost say I would never have
known of tho existence of fraternities
here, had not the papers called attention
to "the fact," explained Professor Blgler.
"The fraternities give no trouble, obey
the rules laid down for their observance
by tho principal of the High School and his
assistants, and for that reason 1 do not
see why we should stir up trouble for
ourselves unless the acts of the fraterni
ties make it necessary. The question has
never been discussed by the board, and I
do not think any action will be taken."
Board May Act.
It is understood, however, that some
of the members of tho board are not in
favor of tho fraternities as institutions.
and are, therefore, disposed to take some
action which will tend to force them out
of existnee, perhaps in tho next year.
While the question has not come up for
lormai discussion oeiore tne board, per
haps. It has been discussed by the mem
bers Individually, and there js a senti
ment, which may grow, pointing towards
the elimination of the fraternity from the
school life. It i3 the opinion of some
members of the board that it would be a
good Idea, to naako some announcement
at. .or clote.to, tho end of the school year.
forbidding tbo maintenance of fraternities
or sororities by the students la the future,
the proclamation to go into effect with
the beginning of the next school year.
While this action has not been determined
upon, nor any definite decision reached,
the sentiment is- crystallizing, and It is
possible that the end of this term, of
school will also seo the finis of the "frat."
HOTEL PORTLAND ROBBED
Cashier's Drawer in Rathskeller
Billed Two Arrested.
Three men, two of them who are
lodged in tho City Jail, robbed the
cashier's 'drawer in tho Bathskeller at
the Hotel Portland at 2:20 o'clock this
morning of 5175. The cashier was
countingthe cash and had placed it in
a tin box on the counter. Tho three
men were standing near the counter.
and, as the cashier turned his head, the
lid was thrown off, and, by a tleft move,
nearly all the money in the box taken.
The three men broke into a run and
ran upstairs, pretending' they had a
room engaged. The cashier immediately
discovered the robbery and followed
tho men. There were several guests in
the lobby and they chased the men to
the fourth floor of the building where
two of the men were cornered. It is
thought that tbo other man escaped
from the fire-escape. Tho men when
taken to the station cave their names
as Gr. H. Hanlon and J. S. Stafford, but
tne names are thought to be fictitious.
Special Officer Nicholson led the
guests of the hotel in the chase. The
two men were pursued through the
corridors. The third man was seen to
run up the stairs of the hotel to the
second floor, but although the hotel
was searched from top to bottom he
could not be found.
The two men arrested -were taken
immediately to the police station
where they endeavored to be released.
Captain Bail y refused to let them go.
notwithstanding tho fact that they of
fered him large sums of money. When
on the road to the police station in
the patrol wagon with Station Officer
Price and Jailer liillls they tried to get
out of the wagon but were frustrated.
When searched the two men between
them had on their persons about 100.
It is believed that the man that es
caped carried the money that was
stolen. All three of the men were ele
gantly dressed and wore diamond
stickpins and cuff buttons. The police
believe they are professional "bunco
men recently from the East, as no one
seems to know who they are.
mere was no one m tne Batnskeller at
the time of the robbery except the em
ployes of the establishment, and they
were in another part of the room, with
the exception of the cashier. The three
men had been in the place for several
hours, but did not do anything out of the
ordinary until the rest of the guests had
departed. Then all three of them moved
to the counter to pay for the refreshments
they had ordered. Nothing was thought
of their actions until they broke into a
run for the upper floor. They started to
go out the entrance to the street, but
one of the waiters was standing there,
and they turned and ran up the stairs.
The men when taken to the station were
positively identified.
FINDS BURGLAR IN HOUSE
Mrs. J. P. Barth Identifies Thief
Who Was Subsequently Captured.
Upon entering the bedroom of her homo
on Grand avenue yesterday morning about
10 oVJok, Mrs. J. 1. Barth was horror-
piricKen to e. two enormous feet stick
ing out below tn cirins wuicH hung
over the clothes closet adjoining the room.
At first ehe was badly frightened, but, re
gaining her composure, she lifted the
curtains and confronted Bay Mitchell, a
young man of about 23 years of age, who
had stolen from the room a small gold
watch and chain and some money. She
demanded to know who he was. He re
piled that he was looking for a room.
Mrs. Barth then said, "You are a thief."
At this he broke and ran downstairs. Mrs.
Barth undertook to fasten the ront door
to prevent his escape, but he got out of
the back door, and reached Grand avenue.
An alarm was raised, and several boys
started to follow the burglar. He .ran to
East Couch and Seventh'and tried to hide
himself under some brush in the block on
Bast Ninth between Couch and Davis
street Earl Park and some others dis
covered him and caught him. Meanwhile
Detective Beislng, who lives at 26 East
Sixth street, was notified, and the prison
er was turned over to him. He denied
that he had robbed the house, but Belsing
took him back to the house and the
room, where he persisted In denying that
he had robbed the house, although recog
nized by Mrs. Barth. After having, been
placed in the patrol wagon. Detective
Belsing finally Induced Mitchell to con
fess, and he told that the watch and
breastpin were left where he was In hid
ing on East Ninth street. These were
found where he said he had left them.

The Grizzly a Dangerous Foe
Kansas City Journal.
Grizzlies are the best game in the world.
When you once get their dander up they
are savage fighters, and the hunter's life
is In danger every minute unless he Is a
good shot and has a, steady nerve. If
you ever get within range of the grizzly's
paw you are a dead one. These stories
of men killing them with knives and in
hand-to-hand fights are about as reason
able as it would be to talk of stopping a
locomotive by getting in the way of the
train. If the big fellow gets the chance
to deliver one blow It is all over. Griz
zlies look awkward, but they are migbtv
light on their feet, and they can beat any
man in a footrace.

AUTO BURNS
N GIT? PHI
Machine of Rudolph Becker
Falls Prey to Fierce
Flames. '
OCCUPANTS NOT INJURED
Dust-Apron Becomes Ignited From
Muffler and -Running Car Turns
to .Mass of Seething Flames
in Second's Time.
Houses sometimes burn up, or down, as
the case may be, but It is seldom that
automobiles yield to the embrace of the
flames. It has been noted that Portland
autos very often scorch, but the first case
on record in which a Portland machine
really burned happened yesterday after
noon at the City Park, when Budolph
Becker's week-old $1450 Ford machine
caught fire from an overheated muffler
and burned to the ground, leaving only
the steelwork to tell the story.
A little over a week ago Mr. Becker re
ceived a new Ford, one of the largest ma
chines ever seen in the city, and has since
that time been busy driving tourists over
the city to view the sights. Yesterday
afternoon he was engaged by I... M. WI1I
cutts, of Duluth, who is stopping at the
Portland, to take himself, his wife and
daughter for a ride over the city. In tho
course of the ride the party visited the
City Park, where the accident happened.
Underneath the car was a canvas dust
apron placed for the protection of the
gearing from dirt thrown up by rapid
driving. This apron was blown back
against the muffler, a mechanism ar
ranged to deaden the sound of the ex
haust. This had become heated by tho
hot exhaust from the engine to such a de
gree as to ignite the canvas.
The flames were fanned by the progress
of the car until they communicated to the
woodwork, and it is thought came In con
tact with some stray gasoline.
The first the occupants knew of their
danger they were surrounded by flames
shooting from underneath the car, and
were forced to scramble out hastily to
save themselves. An attempt was made
to get the big machine to a place where
water could be secured to fight the fire,
but this was Impossible, and the springs,
axles, engine and other iron and steel
work was all that remained in a few min
utes, even the rims and apokes of the
wheels being consumed.
One strange feature of the accident was
the fact that after the fire had been put
out a quantity of gasoline was discovered
still remaining in the tank, which had
been in the center of the flames.
The machine cost Mr. Becker $1450 a
little more than a week ago, and it is
estimated that the damage will amount
to more than $500, the small amount being
due to the fact that neither the frame
work nor the engine was damaged to any
great extent, if at all. The remnants
were brought to the Central Garage, and
will be sent back to the factory to be
used again or reconstructed.
None of the passengers received any
injuries or inconveniences other than be
ing forced to return to the hotel by street
car. BIG EXCURSION TO SEASIDE
Astoria & Columbia Road Takes
Large Crowd to Beach.
Yesterday was excursion day. and ap
proximately I0M people left the Union
Depot in two excursions, one bound for
Seaside over the Astoria & Columbia
Biver Railroad, the other over the South
ern Pacific to Corvallis.
The excursion of the Astoria & Colum
bia Biver Toad was the second of the sea
son given by that road, and more than 400
people took advantage of the offer made
by the company to spend the day at Sea
side. These excursions have been ar
ranged by the management of the Astoria
road and will be run each Sunday to Sea
side until June 1, when the regular Sum
mer rates will go into effect.
The public shows great appreciation of
the efforts of the Astoria Company, and
many friends have been made by its sys
tem of pre-season Sunday trips. The same
plan now in operation was adopted last
year, and will be followed this year as
well. The trains ran crowded both yes
terday and a week ago, and those who
made the journey came back greatly
pleased with the day spent by the ocean.

Steamer Oregon Arrives.
The steamer Oregon arrived at the

cargo of general freight and a number
of passengers. The Oregon will probably
stay on the run until the steamer St.
Paul Is off the ways and ready for busi
ness. The length of the St. Paul's stay
on the Portland-San Francisco run will
depend much upon the raising and repairs
of the Elder.
