18 THE -MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE ,32, . 1905. RANK FRAUD IS . OPERATING HERE District Attorney Manning In vestigating "Get-Rich-Quick" Concern. ITS VICTIMS ARE NUMEROUS wood first, saying that Kirk wood" first struck" blm. He denied, beating him while be had his victim down, but judge Hogue was not long In rendering a decision. On a charge of the larceny of 51. J. B. Moore, proprietor of the Cosmopolitan saloon, was yesterday "fined J39 by Judge Hogue. Moore was represented by Attorney W. M. Davis, who. in order to save time, permitted the court to use the testimony given the previous day in the assault and battery case as evidence In the larceny case. Judge Hogue did so, and immediately fined Moore $50. Moore was originally drawn Into the trouble when he refused to disclose the name of the man who struck Paul Paul son In the Cosmopolitan saloon recently. Moore was given S hours In which to tell who did It, and refused to do so when the time came. He was fined $13 on a charge of assault and battery Tuesday. Concern Ajrrces to Repay to Patrons Two Dollars for Every One In vested and Xortlnrcst Fur- nlshcs .Many Lambs. A rank fraud operating at present un der the name of the Prudential Invest ment & Security Company, is being In vestigated by District Attorney Man nings' agents. Head offices of the con cern are supposed to be located In San Francisco, although It Is not known just where they are. There is a branch in "Seattle, and It is believed that from there the scheme la being worked throughout the Xorthwest. If there Is found a possible way of get ting at the officers of the fraud. Dis trict Attorney 'Manning states he will cause arrests to be made, and will prose cute most vigorously all thope charged. Ernest Brand lias been Investigating the case, at the direction gt District At torney Manning and has secured consid erable evidence against the concern, which is a diamond-contract or get-rich-qulck scheme of the most transparent kind. Roan and Emerson are heralded as the Seattle agents of the company, with of fices In the Arcade 'building of that city. Circulars issued by the concern give the name of H. B. Hayden as president and treasurer: Charles "Wilson as first vice president; W. D. Ayrcs, second vice-president; H. C. Aldrich, secretary, and L. Godchaux. the latter not being designated officially. Seattle Officials to Aid. Mr. Brand wrote to Prosecuting Attor ney Mcintosh, at Seattle, asking for In formation regarding the standing of President-Treasurer Hayden, and also re questing that the Prudential Im-estment & Security Company's operations there be Investigated. A reply was received, stating that the prosecuting attorney's office had investigated the concern on one complaint, and on a similar com plaint had won a conviction In the Su perior Court recently. A promise to co operate with the officials here was con tained In the reply, and It Is probable both offices will take the matter in hand jointly, soon. F. "W. "Winn, residing at 295 Seventeenth street south, Portland has been acting as local agent for the company. He was summoned bc'fore Mr. Brand and ques tioned. Ho satisfied Mr. Brand that he was not criminally responsible for the op erations of the company here, and also declared he had lost some money himself in the concern. A letter to the treasurer of California brought a reply that the company had never deposited the necessary -J5000 to do business In that state, although they sent out circulars Informing the public they had done so. Just now an effort is being made to locate the San Fran cisco office. Ilns Fake Contracts. The company contracts to pay $1.59 or $2 for each dollar paid In. Holders of certificates must pay the dollar weekly. Failure to pay forfeits the certificate and all moneys paid- in by the holder. Alice Waller, of Portland, holds two .contracts and has paid in $65 on one and $70 on the other. John Anderson, of Dayton, "Wash., has paid $90 on one, later trans ferred to Peter Allison, of Seattle. Other cases are at hand, and all stand willing to prosecute If called upon. There are dupes of the company scattered all over the Northwest and through Call fornla. not one of whom have. It Is thought, received a cent for all their In vestments. The company was first organized In San Francisco under the name of the Empire Diamond Company, and later taken over by the Fidelity Funding Company. Both concerns we're Investigated by the United States Post'nl authorities and denied the use of the mnlls on the ground that they were fraudulent. Trans-MIsslssIppl Congress Is to Gather in Portland. The call has gone out for the 16th Annual Trans-Mississippi Congress to take place In Portland, August 1C. 17, 18 and 19. The executive committee has sent out word to Governors of states and territories. Mayors of cities. Boards of County Commissioners, Chambers of Commerce and trade organizations to ap point their delegates and send them to take part. And this they will surely do, for the Trans-Mississippi Congress, be ing, as its name implies, of peculiar In terest to those states this side of the Mississippi River, has become an event of particular significance. Moreover, there aro certain matters of high Import ance to come before the body. The Pacific Trade will be the chief topic of conference, as the official call points out. Though this has come before the congress previously, the force of It has neer been "brought out as it win here on account of the contiguity of Portland to the Orient. Trade relations with the Far East will be exploited to the end that the best methods may be adopt ed to secure the Oriental commerce to the trans-Mlsslsslppi States. The ex ecu tlx e committee also points out the Increasing demand for a Depart ment of Mines and Mining, with Its head a member of the President's Cabinet. An effort will be made to secure action from the National Congress towards the es tablishment of such a department. Other subjects for discussion and the securing of ultimate action from the proper sources are the improvement of rivers and harbors, the establishing of a union of interests between Pacific Coast ports and the Gulf of Mexico, the Isth mian Canal, the merchant marine, the Consular Service, the necessity for dif ferentials favoring Pacific Coast ports in the building of n'aval vessels, good roads. irrigation and a dozen other leading mat ters of vital Interest. City Offenders Before .Municipal Judge Hogue "Oh, rats, you can arrest me, if you want to, but you can t make it stick," wild E. C. McLean, a hotel-runner, when taken "Into custody late Saturday after noon by Patrolman Carlson, charged with obstructing the streets In the vicin ity of the Union Depot. McLean evidently knew what he was talking. about, for he was discharged by Judge Hogue In the Municipal Court yes tcrday, as was also Ide Cowell, . "run ner" for the Deutsche House. 424 Xorth Sixth street. The latter was arrested by Carlson, Sunday afternoon, for breaking police regulations at the depot, which prohibit Interference with passensers by "runners. Patrolman Carlson took the stand and mode a clear statement of the two ar rests, declaring emphatically that each defendant violated the sidewalk ordi nances. He said that McLean especially was very ugly, and told the officer he would act Just as he pleased at the depot. Both defendants denied their guilt, and their employers also took the stand and testified. Judge Hogue remarked that the case of Cowell was worse than that of McLean, Inasmuch as Cowell was shown to have followed an aged couple several blocks, attempting to take their satchels and make them come to his hotel. Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald launched into a hot argument, calling Judge Hogue's attention to the previous release of two "runners," and stating that the hands of the police must be upheld If any semblance of order is to be maintained at the depot. Mr. Fitzgerald's remarks were so obviously directed at the court that the latter stopped him three times, but he resumed talking. "Well. I'm going Xo dismiss these cases. anyway," said Judge Hogue. angrily. "If the evidence was such as to convince me. I would take pleasure in convicting the defandants. Captain Frank Burke, of Hose No. was taken In by Robert Kirk wood, a get- rich-quick agent, and when pressed for the payment of a $5 bill, assaulted the man and suffered arrest -and conviction as a result. He was fined $10 at the con elusion of the case, which was heard yes terday before Judge Hogue. Klrkwood's testimony was that he tried to collect the bill from Burke, who re fused and ordered him from the yard of the Burke home. 266 East Stevens street. Klrkwood said he needed the money badly to buy medicine for 111 members of his family, and lingered a moment to make another proposition to Burke. Then the latter assaulted him, knocked him down and beat htm until pulled off by one of his mates of the fire company. Two worn en corroborated Klrkwood. Captain Burke denied striking Kirk CALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO ASK FOR 'FIRE ENGINE Residents South of Division Street "Want Protection. Residents south of Division street on the East Side will make a vigorous ef fort to get fire protection through the erection of an engine housa and location of an engine on the corner of Powell and Mllwaukle streets, where the city owns three acres. The territory which will be covered by an engine located at this point Is very large reaching up to Sell wood on the South and the city limits on the East. In the district are three large schoolbouses and the Inman-Poul sen Company's sawmill. Insurance rates are very high In that territory because or the want of fire protection. As the city owns the land on Powell and Mllwaukle streets, where the engine will be .located If built, only the cost of tho building and engine will have to be met. An engine house will cost about $350) or less. The one being built in South Portland will cost this amount when completed. Streets have been gen erally improved in this territory, so that an engine may now be taken anywhere there. The petition for this additional fire protection will be gotten out and pre sented to the new city administration. RESPECT PUBLIC MANDATE Majority of Councllnten Oppose Liquor Licenses In St. Johns. There are four members of the St. Johns Council who will refuse to vote to grant licenses to sell liquor In St. Johns until the people say by majority vote that they want them granted. C. D, Edwards, one of the members of the Council, who votes with the four against liquor licenses, says: "The people here, by majority vote, de clared against the insulng of liquor 11 censes, and I don t see how we can go back on that verdict. I am not a crank on the subject of .saloons. I take drink of beer when I feel like It, but when a vote of the. people Is against the saloons it settles It as far as I am con cerned. 'Where the revenue is to come from to meet expenses I don't know, but those things work out. I have an idea that the charter will furnish the relief. All know cities have to meet the same con dition we now face. Our taxable valua tion was small at the start, and hence our Income was limited, .but next year It will be much larger and we will get more revenue.
