I-ATKST IX) LICE OKDKR. Chifcf of Police Gritzmacher yester day issued the following general or der, addrrrsed to the captains: "Instruct the officers under your command to be vigilant In apprehend ing all suspicious characters and those of the vagrant class. "Within the last few days quite a number of robberies have been reported to this station, and while I appreciate the efforts of the officers In enforcing ordinances In re gard to saloons and restaurants where liquor Is sold, they should not over look the element that Is Infesting this city and causing us a lot of trouble at this time." Criminals of the petty classes have be come exceedingly bold within the past .few days, and numerous thefts and burg laries have been reported to police head quarters. Chief Gritzmacher stated yes terday that in a large measure, this was caused by the fact that the police has been directing special attention for sev eral days to the enforcemfcnt of the anti .box ordinance, now being applied to Saloons and restaurants. After the ordi nance is In working shape, he believes, thelvery will be stopped in a short time. Captain Moore, commanding the first re lief, reported last night that the copy of the city directory belonging to the department, has been stolen. M. Harrigan. employed by the Holmes Coal & Ice Company, was robbed of $160 near Front and Savior streets, early yes terday morning. It was taken from his house during his absence. Detectives Snow and Kerrigan are on the case. Dr Woods Hutchinson was relieved of his suitcase, which contained clothing and a $20 greenback. Mrs. J. K. Heslct, who has apartments at the Norton, was robbed of a $73 gold watch and chain and $3 in rash. Sallie White and Sadie Hood, colored inmates of a North End resort, were ar rested last night by Policemen Galbralth and Peterson, and were booked as vag rants. Sallie White was fined $15 In the Municipal Court yesterday morning, on the same charge. A robbery recently oc curred In her house, the police allege, and they are making war on her. GROWING S1CK OF GRAFT Public Sentiment In Washington Is Against Accused Officials. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash- j ington. July 16. Continued exposure of graft in Government officials who have been manipulating public office to their private gain is going to have a marked effect upon the trial of .Representative Blnger Hermann when his case is called here early In the Fall term of court, prob ably next October. The Jury which will try Hermann will be composed of resi dents of the District of Columbia. The public mind in this city has already been overstocked with Information about of ficial graft. Indeed, Washington is thor oughly sickened of graft in the Govern ment departments, and sympathy Is no longer expressed for men Implicated In any way. On the contrary, the Idea Is spreading that it is time to purge the entire service and deal out Justice to every man who has betrayed bis trust. The indictment of Hermann, according to the officials who will conduct the prosecution, is based on strong documen tary evidence- These officials assert their confidence in being able to show the Jury that Hermann when Commissioner of the Land Office, not only violated the law prohibiting the destruction of public rec ords, but that be furthermore violated the law prohibiting the sending of private correspondence through the malls In of ficially franked envelopes. In the face of the present state of the public mind, it, will take comparatively little evidence to con;ince the Jury of the guilt of any official charged with corruption in office, and it is likely to go hard with every one against whom the Government can make out a clear case. Even before this strong sentiment de veloped in Washington, the prosecuting officers expressed the utmost confidence in their ability to secure Hermann's convic tion in Washington. They are even more confident now than before, for they de clare they have ample evidence to satisfy any Jury that Hermann's indictment was well founded. In case Hermann should be convicted. he would, like Senator Mitchell, be de prived of his seat in Congress from the day the sentence was imposed, and would likewise be disqualified from ever again holding any Government office.

It developed yesterday, in the course of the application of "The Oaks' " manage ment to secure the basis for an equitable tax before the license committee of the City Council, that next year the Institu tion Intends to enlarge Its scope of op- .eratlons to double Its present capacity. -and expend between $250,000 and $500,000 in making The Oaks the finest establish ment of Its kind in the United States. S. H. Frlcdlander appeared before tho committee upon behalf of the resort, and contended that if the charge was made 'for licenses covering each separate feature it would aggregate fully JG66 a quarter exclusive of the regular municipal liquor license of $125 a quarter. In view of this phase of the situation the committee recommended that The Oaks pay a flat rate of $100 a month for June. July. August and September. ex elusive, of the liquor license, and with a corresponding increase In the event of any added attractions. May Prevent Sales Near Exposition. Shortly before the Fair opened, the City Council passed an ordinance prohibiting the hawking or peddling of any article whatever within the city limits, the legis lation being enacted with a view of en abllng the Exposition management to handle the crowds surrounding the en trance to the grounds. About a month ago another ordinance was adopted amending the other to the extent of permitting the selling of gulde- " books around the Fair gates, and In a letter sent by President Goode and con sldered by the license committee of tho City Council yesterday. It was contended that this had a tendency to cause con gestion of the crowds and handicap the gate receipts. Tho committee took the same view of the situation and recommended the enactment of tho old ordinance, which will put the guide-book seller out of ex istence If the Council confirms the com mittee's action today. Collis and Barnard were also granted a license to conduct an employment egency at 110 Second street. FLOCKING TO NORTHWEST Tom Richardson Returns With News of Big Immigration. "People of the country are completely infatuated with the North Pacific Coast States, now that the leaven of in formation concerning the climate, the people and the Exposition is being gradually disseminated by those who have come, beheld the wonders of the region and returned to their homes enthuslastlcll ly sounding praises of everything and everybody." said Tom Richardson, man ager of the Commercial Club, who ar- rived home yesterday after an absence of ten days. "In my trip I made stops at Newton. Wichita. La Junta and Denver, and every place was beselged by those who Were told that I came from Fortland. all seek Ing information about the country and expressing their Intention of coming here to locate. People are astounded that a region of such wonderful resources and attractions should have remained so long unknown to people" of the whole world. Not a single complaint did I hear of the Exposition, and in many places it was characterised as 'a gem of a Fair and far exceeding expectations of visitors. Chief Wants Force Increased. " Chief of Police Gritzmacher will ask the newly-appointed commissioners, at their first conference, to secure the ful: quota of men for the department. This will require three patrolmen, one Captain MAKES A NOVEL POINT Attorney for Tom Carter Says It Is Illegal to Threaten Burglar. If Municipal Judge Cameron upholds the contention of Attorney John O'Gor man this morning, people will not dare capture a burglar when detected In their homes, neither will they with safety threaten to kill the burglar, for prose cution might follow. A unique and Important legal point was raised yesterday when the case of tres pass against Tom Carter, a negro, came up for hearing. The defendant was caught In the residence of Mrs. E. J. Cameron, 25 North Park street, one morn ing at 5:30. Harry T. Bulger, a well- known citizen, upon learning of the pres ence of the alleged trespasser In the house, threatened to "blow his head off" unless he remained perfectly stilL Attorney O'Gorman moved for a dis missal of the case, as he said trespass had not been proved, and he furthermore declared that Mr, Bulger, in making the threat he did, was guilty under the law and asked that a charge of threatening to kill be laid against him. "I will bo very glad to note any au thorities you may bring tomorrow morn ing," said Judge Cameron, smilingly, and the case was continued for that purpose. TICKET - SCALPERS' CASES Stubborn Fight Will Be Made In Judge Cameron's Court. Municipal Judge Cameron will sit In special session at 1 o'clock this after- j noon to hear the cases of defendants i charged with violations of the statute governing the sale of railroad tickets and the maintaining of establishments for the sale of railroad tickets. This will be the first special session to be held for years in the Municipal Court, and no other business will be heard. Judge Cameron regards tho cases against the alleged scalpers sufficiently Important for a special session, and inasmuch as the large volume of routine business takes up all of the morning sessions, he set tills afternoon for the exclusive hearing of these matters. All of the cases were continued yes terday morning, as neither the counsel for defense nor for the prosecution were ready to proceed, and as the time of the court was so occupied with other business that it was impossible for the hearings to take place.
