THE MORNING OBEGOyiAN. WEDNESDAY, MAT 10, 190o. PROBES FOR FACTS Grand Jury Looking Deeply Into Scandals. THOMAS MALONE, WITNESS Former City Father Gives' Very Im portant Testimony Regarding' "Grafts" or Officials of the Municipality. Deeper and deeper the Multnomah Coun ty grand jury is probing Into the Front street bridge and other municipal scan r dais. Yesterday District Attorney John Manning startled the hangers-on about the Courthouse by subpenaing Thomas JIalone, a former Councilman, and for a time the air was pregnated with all man ner of speculation as to the testimony that Malone gave the jurors. Malone's testimony must have been of great Im portance, for it Is understood that not only was Malone sworn to secrecy, but each member of the grand jury was cspe-i daily cautioned not to divulge one single word of the testimony given by this wlt r Tiess. It Is understood, however, that Malone's story had something to do with the Front street "bridge and also of other alleged deals made by the City Council, in which there is said to have been "graft" leied. Malone's Testimony Important. Malone was a city father in the days when Sylvester Pennoyer was Mayor. He is credited with knowing a great deal about .the' inside workings of the City Council, and It is said that he gave some important testimony regarding certain deals that C. E. Rumelln was interested In. He was before the grand jury only half an hour, but he will again be called. One rumor had It that Malone gave some information concerning the much-talked-of.. "graft" connected with the deal that was .behind the famous garbage crema tory. This was the deal that failed, and one man. vitally Interested in the passing of the project, was heard to say openly that when the deal for monopoly fell through he lost ?1000, meaning that if the deal had gone through, his share would have been that amount. The man " who made this remark, however, was a reacher," and he might have only been dreaming. One thing Is sure, , on the strength of Malone's testimony men "whose names heretofore have not been mentioned In connection with either the Front-street bridge or other municipal j-candal will be given a chance to appear before the grand jury- f Bridge Scandal Comes Up. George Scoggln. who was Deputy City Engineer under YV. C Elliott, and who Is at present Elliott's partner, was also be fore the jury. Scoggin's testimony, while it is a matter of speculation, like that of W. c. Elliott, had to do with the part that Councilman Rumelln had to do with the Front-street bridge scandal. Scoggln Is raid to have gone Into Rumelin's activ ity In both the Front-street bridge deal and other matters pertaining to city con tracts and franchisee. The ex-Deputy City Engineer must have given some in teresting information, for not an inkling of. -what- Jie told could be learned from any source. Carl Llebe who way for merly art employe In the City Auditor's office, was another witness berore the grand jury. F. H. Stow, representing tho -Automatic-Telephone Company, who is cbarg'ed-'by Councilmen Merrill and-Sher-rett with-havins offered bribes, appeared before the grand jury. Mr. Stow denied that he had ever attempted to bribe either Sherrett or Merrill. Aside from listening to testimony re garding municipal scandals, several other cases came up before the grand jury. The case of Dan Rosenfeld. who is charged with liaving passed several bogus checks,' came up. H. V. Carpenter, John Vienzln and Joseph Kellog were the wit nesses against Rosenfeld. The checks were cashed. Detective A. G. Vaughn told" the Jurors of the alleged forgeries of W. F. Hallowell, who Is said to have passed the worthless paper, April last. Hallowell was arrested at Stockton, Cal. The Jurors also heard the testimony ot Detective Joe Rcislng Mrs. M. Barth and P. J. Barth, whose home was entered on .Sunday morning. Roy Mitchell Is charged with having entered tho house and stolen money, clothing and jewelrv. i The tNJleman murder case brought Deputy Coroner Arthur Finlcy before the grand Jury. SHARKEV 'OT BIUBETAlvEH. Telephone Story Circulated Was Without Basis of -Fact. A story -s circulated vesterday to the ctfect that tho gran'd jury "iiad listened to the testimony- of some one tnat .Councilman John- P. Shar key had received 51000 from the raciflc States Tclophone Company. This money, the rumor had- it. was paid to' Councilman Sharkey to vote against a. franchise wanted by tlie Independent Automatic Telephone Com pany. District Attorney John Manning who is conducting: the Investigation now going-on by. the grand jury, stated positively -tliut no such testimony -had-been brought before the grand jury yesterday and ileclarcJ that he had not heard of .such .charges until some one outside of the juryroom told him that eucu a story, ivas-out. Councilman Sharkey -was seen last night He Vas' indignant dver the fact that such .a .atary. haJL been, circulated about him. He said-. " do not know, what came Up before the grand jury, nor do I understand now anybody' other than the members of that body .itself and its legal advis ers can know -of Its proceedings. I was under the impression- that all testi mony given- to. the grand Jury was a secret. I 3o fcno-w this, though, that I never received. june cent for any vote .or action of mine as -a member of the City Council. .1 most emphatically deny that I ever received one cent from any tele phone company, -and should any one at tempt to testify to such effect, before the grand jury or elsewhere, he will be guilty of, the rankest kind, or perjury. It Is a well-known fact that I have been and am cow an outspoken advo cate la tne Council for a franchise for the Automatic Telephone Company and am doing all In my power to secure for the peoprcof this city the benefits of competition In the telephone business. This fact should, in the estimation of all fair-minded, persons, be sufficient refutation of. this malicious slanJer. The circulation of such a story at this time is the work of political ertcmies and for the sole purposes of- defeating- mo ks a candidate for Councllman-at-largc, after having: been nominated for suh a position last Saturday. .

A DIVISION IN OPINIONS Some of the Members AVouId Grant Permission for Jlight of "Way for Flume; Others Strongly Oppose Proposition. Lafe Pence's request to run a covered flume through Macleay Park waa consid ered by the Park Board In secret session yesterday. Mayor Williams and J. D. Meyer were favorable to the project, but Colonel L. L. Hawkins and Dr. T. L. Eliot opposed. Ion Lewis would not give a deciding vote, as he had not viewed the site. The Park Board, in making announce ment of its action to Mr. Pence said merely that it could not come to a de cision, and deferred action until its next monthly meeting.. But Mayor Williams said afterwards that he did not believe the concession would be granted. If Mr. Pence obtains what he wishes It will be through the deciding vote of Mr. Lewis. It rests in his hands to block the gigantic scheme for a water supply and to preserve the beauty of the park in all Its naturalness, or to allow the flume to be built. Mr. Pence. In his petition to the board, agreed to make a walk of the flume, to keep it painted and by If to create a good pathway Into the park. When the Park Board went Into star chamber session yesterday, the Mayor bringing up the business before the meet ing. Each member of the board had his say, Mr. Lewis asking rather than telling, as he was the only member of the board who did not go as a guest of Mr. Pence Monday to view the ditches and see exactly what was asked. Colonel Hawkins was the principal speaker, and he was against allowing the ditches of Lafe Pence to encroach one foot on park property. With him was Dr. Eliot, whose part was mostly in ac quiescing to the arguments presented by Colonel Hawkins. The cudgels for the other side were taken up by Mr. Meyer and the Mayor, assisted by City Engineer Wanter. Those opposing we-e more active than those fa voring, and Mr. Lewis, .while he did not feel like making a decided 'objection to the project, apparently preferred making further Investigation on his own account before casting the deciding vote which undoubtedly lay with 'him. Colonel Hawkins stated that Mr. Pence, In taking them along the line of his upper ditch, did not give the Park Board Mon day a sufficient opportunity to sec the Injury that the flume would work to the Park, and suggested that the board make further investigations by walking through the park Itself and examining the condi tions. The board agreed to this, and will make the trip at Its leisure. AT THE THEATERS What the Press Jkgtnim Say. Grace Van Studdlford's Conductor.

LIQUOR WILL CAUSE WOE Government Now Powerless to Pre vent Deliauchery on Works. - OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, May 6, There will be no enJ of trouble among workmen employed on Government Irrigation projects un less the law officers of the Interior De partment reverse themselves on the power of the Government to prohibit the aale ot llqubr on lands lying- with in the limits of such projects. No sooner had the Reclamation Serv ice begun the construction of its first project than liquor-dealers appeared on the scene. Some made entries In the heart of the Irrigation dfstrlct; others leased lands which had been entered by others, but all were careful to locate In the vicinity of the work and In the midst of the army of work men. Saloons sprang up like mush rooms; there was much drunkenness; there was gambling: Tobberles were frequent; fights were of common oc currence, and fatalities have been re ported on a number of -occasions. The Reclamation Service was quick to realize that liquor was at the bot tom of the trouble. With the saloons came" the gamblers and the tough ele ment In general. The laboring forces became largely demoralized. Work was retarded; disorder reigned where order was expected, and before long, in addition to the troubles enumerated. It was noticed that every now and then some workman would disappear, leaving- no trace behind. An appeal was made to the Commis sioner of the General Land Office, who promptly drew up a circular to local land officers, directing them to cancel every entry under an Irrigation project where it was shown that the entryman was selling liquor on his premises or had leased his land to a liquor-seller. That circular was sent to the Secretary of the Interior for approval, was by him referred to the Assistant Attorney-General for his department, and by that official was adversely reported upon. In his opinion, following prece dent, the Government has no authority to cancel an entry which is otherwise regular. Just because the entryman Is selling liquor "on his land, or Is per mitting liquor to be sold there. It Is the opinion ot the Assistant Attorney General that the sale of- liquor on homesteaded land has nothing to do with the right of the entryman to per-, feet his title, but is subject entirely to the laws of the state in which the land Is located; that, if the liquor Is sold under proper state license, the Gen eral Government can Interpose no ob jection. This ruling proved a great disap pointment to the Reclamation Service In asking for a restriction upon the sale of liquor on Irrigated lands, the Reclamation Service sought to protect Its own men and the men employed by Government contractors against the bad elements that have given such no toriety to new Western towns; It sought to protect them agralnst cheap, bad liquor: against gamblers and oth ers who now look upon them as legiti mate prey. It was the contention of the Reclamation Service that lands under irrigation projects are Govern ment lands until paid for, and, as none of these lands will become the property of the settler until ten years after the water is turned on, that the Govern ment had the right to exclude llquor- 'dealers If it saw fit,-just as it can pro hibit the sale of liquor In National parks and on other Government reser vations. The worst is now looked for; the bars are down; the saloons may enter, and they will no doubt flourish. Many instances are known where saloon keepers have been waiting: to hear from the Secretary before pouncing down on different projects, and one no torious dlvekecper In the West has boasted that he is going to open a saloon wherever the Government con structs an irrigation project. Chinese Organize for Commerce. NEW TORK, May 3.

"There's a very strong sentiment,'' said Mr. Jamison, "for an independent move ment." "Do you think there will be such a movement?" was asked. "I don't see how It can be prevented." was the reply, "though what shape It will take we don't know at this time." "What shapes could It take?" "Well," responded MrT Jamison, study ing a moment, "the reform and law and order forces could either nominate an entirely new ticket of their own or pick out candidates from the Republican and Democratic tickets and Indorse them." He declined to say, however, which of the two alternatives would be adopted. "Things are boiling all over town," he remarked. "Very many persons are dis satisfied with the nominations made at the Republican primaries last Saturday. We hear of them In every ward and every precinct." How soon the committee would meet again Mr. Jamison did npt know, but he was quite sure his people would lose no time. "There'll be a hot time- in the June elec tion." spoke up B. S. J.
