IS THE MORXIXG- OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, TDXY 18, 1905. TICKET MEN ARE ST W Six Scalpers Are Arrested and Tickets of Seventh Are Confiscated. LEGAL BATTLE TO COME Kaihvay Officials Employ Attorneys to Assist In Prosecution, While Defendants Retain Lawyers to Fight Their Case. The -war against the ticket-scalpers reached a crisis yesterday afternoon, and Indications are that the act passed by the Legislature -will be put to the test. Yesterday six of the ticket-scalpers were arrested, while the wares of a seventh were confiscated through a writ of attachment. It has been known for some time that the railroad officials and Transconti nental Passenger Association contem plated a serious move against the scalp ers, and the activity yesterday did not come as a surprise to the majority of the ticket men. The men whose names appear on the warrants served by the police officers, and who have been used to gather the necessary evidence, are W. L. Middough. assistant manager of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, living at 94 East Eighth street, and Henry M. Wagner, who conducts a real estato business at 35 Fourth street and resides at 223 Pine street. Lilst of Arrested Men. The men placed under arrest yester day afternoon and charged with ille gally offering railway tickets for sale are: Frank Bollam. Third and Washington streets: arrested at 4:25 o'clock by Po lice Captain Moore: warrant signed by W. L. Middough; gave bail 5100. M. J. Higley. Third and Washington streets: arrested by Police Captain Moore; warrant signed by Henry M. Wagner; gave ball $100. W..H. Stone. Fifth and Irving streets; MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES WHICH SEEM TO BE QUITE FORGOTTEN. With the passing of time several municipal ordinances have ceased to be efTectlvc and so far as their en forcement Is concerned are on the flea list. Some of these ordinances are the following: Ordinance 14.100 Section 87 provides that awnings shall not be less than eight feet above the sidewalk. Either the municipal law Is being habitually violated or else Portland is populated by a race of giants. Section 51 pro vides that all furnaces must consume their own smoke, and a penalty of $200 fine Is provided for violation. Section 07 makes' It obligatory on all owners of docks and wharves to con struct wooden bulkheads from low water to the tops of the docks as a protection against fires, but an In spection of the water front will In dicate that hardly any attention has been paid to the measure Ordinance 13,483 Section 5 orders the Standard Oil Company to re move a large tank from block 13, East Portland, by August 19. 104. but the gigantic monopoly considers the threat In the nature of a Joke. Ordinance 7440 Sections 1 and 3 provide that all houses In the city must bey numbered prior to occupancy, a fine of $5 a day being the penalty for violation. As a matter of fact, a great many houses are at present be ing occupied without any number ever , having bcon placed thereon, and yet the records show the number of ar- ' rests to be decidedly limited. Ordinance 14.027 makes It unlawful for any minor under 18 to have fire arms In his possession, or for any dealer to sell firearms to such minors. It Is quite common for young men of the prescribed age to parade the streets undef'the noses of policemen and purchase ammunition from any of the stores. Ordinance 14,100 makes It unlawful for anybody to sell or discharge fire crackers more than four Inches long. Whoever drafted this measure must have possessed a limited knowledge of the enthusiasm that could be aroused In Young America on the Fourth of July, as It Is constantly be ing treated with universal contempt. Ordinance 7130 Section 3 provides that no signs or advertising matter of any kind shall thereafter be allowed on .jiewalks. and Section 4 warns merchants against obstructing the sidewalks with boxes, both of which are looked upon from a facetious point of view by all local business houses. Ordinance 14.030 limits the speed of automobiles In Portland to eight miles an hour. Any person who has become accustomed to dodging these machines Is well aware how much attention Is paid to the Injunction. Ordinance 14.04& Section 10 provides that no horses or teams shall be per mitted to remain unhitched upon the streets; Section 58 that theaters must distribute copies of the anti-hat or dinance among the audience before the commencement of each perform ance: Section 67 prohibits expectora tion on the sldtwalks. and Section 69 makes It unlawful for any person un der 21 to smoke cigarettes or have them In their possession. Rigid fines are Imposed In each Instance, but there Is no authentjc record or the municipality having greatly Increased Its revenues thereby. Ordinance 8457 makes it unlawfnl for milliners to transact business be fore paying $300 a quarter for a li cense, the penalty for Its violation being $25 a day. A great many of the millinery establishments of this city do not take in that amount all told. Ordinance 14.053 Section 24 provides that cane-rack games, merry-go-rounds and all similar attractions are prohibited from being operated on Sun day. This measure Is of such a sweep ing character that If properly en forced 4t would readily put the Oaks" out of business. Ordinance 11,352, commonly known as the "curfew" ordinance. It pro vides that no child under 15 shall be on the streets after 9 P.M. during the Summer months and after S P. it. the balance of the year. It also con tains, a clause Imposing a penalty on parents for permitting their children to 'run at large after dark. arrested by Detective Vaughn; warrant signed by Middough; gave-bail $200. Hugh Testard, Fifth and Irving streets; arrested by Detective Vaughn; warrant signed by Middough; gave bail $100. E. H. Ankerson. Fifth and Irving streets; arrested by Detective Vaughn; warrant signed by Wagner; gave ball $200. Charles Billings, Fifth and Irviny streets: arrested by Detective Vaughn; warrant signed by Wagner; gave ball $100. Tickets Are Seized. In addition to these arrests, tickets in the possession of H. C Caspary, an other broker, were seized through a writ of attachment Issued from Justice Reid's Court by order of Attorney B, C Wright and served by Constable Lou Wagner. Though this process was re sorted to by Mr. Wright to collect a debt, the scalpers declare It Is an act fostered by the O. R. &. N. Company, through which It will be enabled to gain possession of the numbers and de scriptions of the tickets and warn con ductors on their lines to be on the look out for them. Attorney Wright asserts that Caspary is Indebted to him tor the sum of $75, attorney's fees, the fee hav ing been earned a short time ago when Caspary was arrested in connection with ticket-scalping in St. Louis, re turned to that city and finally liberated on a writ of habeas corpus. Wright declares that a part of the fee was paid, that there is the sum of $75 still owing, and that the write of attach ment followed as a matter of course, the tickets being seized because they represented value and were supposed to belong to Caspary. who does not deny they sre his property. On the other hand, the scalpers declare the process a trick resorted to by the rail road officials to gain numbers of the tickets and evidence to use against the scalpers generally. "Will Be Bitterly Fought. That the cases against the scalpers will be pushed to the utmost Is shown by the fact that the O. R. & N. Company and the Transcontinental Passenger Association have retained Arthur C Spencer and Dan J. Malarkey to aid In the prosecution. That the case will be hotly contested as far as Bollam and Higley are concerned is made known by the fact that they have retained as counsel M. L. Pipes, John F. Logan and George W. Joseph. The cases are due to come up for preliminary hearing this morning in the Municipal Court before Judge Cam eron. Great Interest Is manifested, as the ultimate outcome of the cases may mean the settlement of the validity of the law recently enacted, and a victory, and a conclusive one. either for the scalpers or the railroad men. MANY LICENSES REFUSED Committee Passes on Applications for Permits fdr Saloons. At a regular meeting of the license com mittee of the City Council yesterday an opinion was received from City Attorney McXary to the effect that the application of Dietrich Sperl to conduct a saloon at the northeast corner of Forty-sixth and Division streets should be denied, for the reason that prior to its recent annexa tion the district had been voted as "dry." and in the opinion of the City Attorney, the license committee had no authority to thwart the will of the people by grant ing Sperl a permit to engage In the liquor business at the point indicated. L. J. Watson applied for a license to conduct a saloon at Twenty-seventh and Upshur streets, but he was unceremoni ously turned down, as the location Is near the Fair grounds. Greenhoot & Cole shared the same fate with their application to run a saloon at the northeast corner of Sandy Road and Twenty-eighth street. The license com mittee of the old Council had refused to grant them a permit to do business there, and when this fact became known the new committee lost little time In denying their application. On account of a remonstrance that out weighed a favorable petition by long odds, the application of Luciano & Dlgltlo for a saloon at 294 Sheridan street, was not granted. B. Plennlck tried in vain to secure a license to conduct a saloon at 12S3 Mll waukle street, as Councilman Wills dis approved of the Idea. His application of a week previously had been referred to Councilmcn Wills and Rushlight, but the latter was. not present to offer any sug gestion, hence the committee concluded to adopt Mr. Wills views and refuse to grant the license. The-appl'cation of Olsner & Helzcr. 740 Union avenue, and Cornelius Curran, 7E1 Mississippi street, were referred to Coun cilman Vaughn for Investigation. The following licenses were granted: Wcbb-Franter Company. 329 Ankcny street; August Erickson. Irvington race track, and Charles Vogelsang, 21 Alhlna avenue. Transfers were allowed as follows: Da vis & Fitzslmmons. 287 Alder street, to Fltzslmmons & Castle; William Cox. 1S3 Holladay avenue, to John Beattle; M. Schultz. 220 Crosby street, to Herman Sperling: Sinner & Emmurt, 795 Vaughn street, to Conrad & Blazicr.
