14 THE MOKNES'G OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, "AUGUST 15, 1905. CROOK MITCHELL LS FREE I Kerrigan and Snow Fail Establish His Crim : inality. to THEY ASK HIS DISCHARGE After Going Into Details of His Crimes, They Repeatedly Fail to Appear to Prosecute, and Ask His Dismissal. CRIMINAL IS RELEASED. ' Through the neglect. Inconsistence or oonmvance or Headquarters De tectives Kerrigan and Enow, a crim inal who belongs In the ponltentiary has escaped find Is scott free. He Is Franois Mitchell, believed to be one of the most desperate burglars ever captured In Portland. He was dis charged yesterday morning by Mu nicipal Judge Cameron, at the request I DetectU-e Kerrigan, representing Chief or Police Grltzmacher. Mitchell. It was charged by Kerri gan and SnVw, entered and robbed the room or Leroy Berry, in the Ross House, or a watch and $18 In money. "When the defendant was arraigned on, a charge of larceny In a dwelling, Kerrigan and Snow were not present, neither did they have any witnesses, and the prisoner was discharged. Francis Mitchell, admitted by Detec tives Kerrigan and Snow to be a des perate criminal, is free. For -his al leged crime of burglary and robbery In this city, he will not "be tried. Even the charge of vagrancy, preferred by the detectives themselves, was dismissed at thoir roquest yesterday morning, and Mitchell was ordered out of the city. This CMe. has been a bungle from first tq last, with Detectives Kerrigan and Snow playing the roles of bunglers. It was because of their neglect, in competence or actual connivance that this desperate criminal is now at large, ready to prey upon tnls or some other community. Give Elaborate Details. "When the detectives made the ar rest, they gave out elaborate details of his dosperate character, outlined his criminal record and declared him to be a "bad man" That he was what they claimed, wa quickly exemplified when he attompted to break from his cell in the City Jail the first night of Jiis in carooratlon, by tunneling from the "bottom by using a spoon. He was stopped as he was about to escape, by Policeman Wilson. Mitchell had previously broken from confinement in the City Jail at Tacoma, and came here with a record showing him to be crooked. He was connected hore with a gang of burglars and room workers, all of whom were also cap tured and made to leave the city or held to the grand Jury to await its ac Ion on various charges. Leroy Berry reported to Captain Bailey early one morning the robbery of his room In the Ross House, and later Detectives Kerrigan and Snow ar rested Mitchell. The latter had a small gold "watch hidden in his sock at the time, which has never been identified. It was stolen, the police declare. Larceny in Dwelling. A charge of larceny In a dwelllngwas preferred against Mitchell by Kerrigan and Snow.ybut if they took an interest In the case up to that point, they lost it there, for they gave it no further at tention. Deputy District Attornoy Haney called the case in court three times,, but no witnesses were present, and the third time Judge Cameron dis missed the larceny in a dwelling case, for ladk of evidence. Kerrigan and Snow, who had been quietly waiting in tne room of Clerk 'Hennessey, were seized with a sudden fit of righteous indignation, upon learning Mitchell had been releasod, and demanded that a charge of va grancy be filed against him. This was done, but yesterday morning even this charge was Usmi6.ed, at the request of Detectives Kerrigan and Snow, and the prisoner went free. Ordered Out of Town. Mitchell was ordered out of town, but there is "doubt as to whether he will leava, it is said. The remarkable actions iof Detectives Kerrigan and Snow, in permitting things to be so arranged as to make it necessary for the "court to discharge the defendant, makes it appear as though perhaps Mitchell might yet find Portland, a nice place to ply his calling. True to his word. Judge Cameron secured a position for T. Rogers, the lad from California, and set him to work as a shoveler on the lines of the Oregon "Water Power Company yester day. Rogers originally came before the fourt on a charge of vagrancy, but happened to toll His Honor that he wished he had a job. Judge Cameron replied that he would test the case, to ascertain if Rogers really would work. i- B. Chauncy, on trial for using ob Bcene language and being disorderly in tne Oregon "Water Power Company's office at First and Alder streets re cently, occupied as much time as a mur der trial of the most sensational type, out it lacked the interest to those who were obliged to sit and listen to a lot of drivel of the worst kind. It was shown that Chauncy. who has been in previous trouble, got drunk on the oo caslon in question, missed his car and because of this got very angry. He took possession of the office of the company for an nour, from 12:15 to 1:15 A. M., and refused to leave until literally picked up and dragged out bv three bfg policemen. Judge Cameron had to take until this morning to make up his mind. SEWER PLANS COMPLETED Brooklyn System May Be Built, Says City Engineer. City Engineer Wanzer informed Coun-cilman-at-larire A. N. "Wills that tVio plans and specifications for the big jsrooKjyn sewer are pracucauy completed, and will be ready for final action this week by the Council. It will then re main to get some rights of way from the small property-owners through whose premises the branches of this sewer sys tem will pass. It is announced that the obstacles in the wav of the main mn. duit passing through the Ladd tract have been removed. If this be true then there will be no trouble to get rights of way from the lot owners. They have been willing to permit the sewer to be laid through their premises provided It went through the Ladd tract. Councilman Rushlight will call the mat ter up at the next meeting of the Coun cil by resolution looking to letting the contract as early as possible, now that the plans are so nearly completed. , It is estimated that it will take at least a year to build this system after the con tract has been let and that the cost will be upwards of $200,000. It will cover a large district. SOMEWHAT THIN-SKINNED Rhinoceros Hide Flattens Bullet, Mosquiiocs Annoy Beast. "While the circus menagerie Is pri marily Intended for the smaller cities where zoological gardens are unknown, it is surprising how large a percentage of those who visit the Barnum & Bailey circus these days linger in the menage rie department even after the perform. ance has begun In the great nmphltae ater. As a matter of fact Barnum & Bailey's zoo Is notably complete and interesting this year. One of the latest additions is a bi-hornod African rhino ceros. This is said to be one of the finest of the very few specimens " of this strange animal now in captivity. Al though still young, its hide lies in great folds and ridges over Its strong and massive frame, and its eyes twinkle suspiciously in cavities that are almost lost in the undulations of its great head. One horn is quite short; the other extends from the upper part of the snout, forming a strong, sharp and TRANSPLANTED ROSES CONTINUE TO BLOSSOM AT THIS HOME. R. C. Kinney and family moved Into the residence. 233 East Third street North, corner Hass&Ie. June 10, and on that day transplanted HO rosebushes, in bloom. As the agcorspanylng photograph shows, the roses have continued to blossom, and of the total of HO bushes bat two have died, a remarkable testi monial to the climate of Oregon and the fertility of Its soil. No fertilizer was used, just, a liberal supply of water. dangerous weapon of offenso or de fense. And well he knows how to use It. The keopor who cared to enter his I cage during one of the unaccountable j fits of bud humor that periodically j seize upon this curio among beasts, j would be a hero, for the chances of ' ever coming out alive would be infln- j lteslmal. The hide of the rhinoceros ' is so tough that a leaden bullet will flatten against it, and yet, curious to say, a mosquito can annoy the rhinoce ros and drive him into a furious temper, and in his wild state he often covers himsolf with mud to prevent insects from stinging him. Another curious fact is the arrangement of the horns, which are not f&Btoned to the skull, but held in place simply by the hide. George Conklin, the superintendent of the Barnum & Bailey menagerie, considers the rhinoceros the most dan gerous beast in the circus zoo that comes to Portland next Monday and Tuesday, August 21 and 22. MUST BE FIXED OR FENCED City Engineer Says Grand Avenue Sidewalks Are Xot Safe. City Engineer "Wanzer has examined the sidewalks on Grand avenue, between Stark and Pine streets, and reports that from an engineer's standpoint they are dangerous, and should be closed up, as is the remainder of the roadway. He in formed H. H. Xewhall, who with others, is trying to collect money from the property-owners to have the roadway re built, that tho piles and timbers are rot ten. Pending negotiations for tho improve ments, the City Engineer says he will let the sidewalks remain open, but if nothing Is done soon he will be compelled to close up and barricade the sidewalks. In answer to an inquiry as to whether the Portland Consolidated Railway Com pany could not be required to plank the portion of the roadway, rr'. ich it rebuilt. Captain Wanzer said he did not think there was any way to compel the com pany to do this until the roadway out side that portion occupied by the double tracks are rebuilt. Mr. Newhall saj's he will make an efTort to get in the re mainder of the money from the property owners this week. One-half has been col lected. FATAL ACCIDENT WITH GUN Herbert Wltten, Killed Wliilo Boat ing at Trout Late. Herbert "Wltten, whose parents live at University Park, was killed Sunday at Trout Lake, Wash., by the accidental dis charge of a gun in his own hands. He was with Samuel and Paul Cochran in a small boat on Trout Lake, which is sur rounded by brush and trees on all aides. Wltten thought he saw something moving in the brush on the border of the lake, whon ho grabbed up the weapon quickly) drawing it toward himself. The gun was discharged and Witten received the cnarge in his stomach, a fearful wound being the result, of which he died soon afterwards. The body was received at the public dock at St. Johns yesterday, and was con veyed to the home of his parents at Uni versity Park, where the funeral will take place today.

ACT ON COTTON'S ADVICE Declare Tlmt the "Washington State Railway Commission Is Exceed ing Its Power by Trying to Enforce Such Action. Acting upon the advice of W. "W. Cotton; chief counsel, the Oregon Railroad 8c Nav igation Company will contest the constitu tionality of .that section of the "Washing ton Railway Commission law dealing with the right of that body to establish Joint rates for railroads. This was made known at Spokane Saturday by J. C. Stubbs, traffic director of the Harrlman system. at the conference of the commission with representatives of the transcontinental lines that was held In the Eastern Wash ington metropolis. Mr. Stiibbs Informed tho commission that it was the advice of Mr. Cotton the roads would not be obliged to establish Joint- rates. Representatives of tho other companies acquiesced in the position taken by the O- R. & N.. and it is understood that the roads will eo-opor-ate with the Oregon corporation In re sisting mis section of the law. Cause of Their Meeting. While there has been much speculation as to the underlying cause for the pres ence of high traffic officials of the trans continental railroads reaching the North west at the Pacific end of their lines dur ing the past fortnight, the Importance of the conference at Spokane reveals the reason. The conference was attended by Chairman Fairchild. John S. McMillan, of the commission; Secretary Lysons, and the following traffic officials of the trans continental roads: J. C. Stubbs, traffic di rector, O. R. & N.. Chicago; P. C. Stohr, assistant traffic director. O. R. & 2C., TL B. Miller, general freight agent O. It. & N.. Portland; A. "L. Craig, general pas senger agent, O. R. & X.. Portland; C. M. Levey, third vice-president Northern Pa cific. Tacoma; J. G. Woodworth. traffic manager. Northern Pacific. Tacoma; Hen ry Blakeley. general Western freight agent Northern' Pacific. Tacoma; S. B. Calder head, traffic manager, Washington & Co lumbia River railway. Walla Walla; W. W. Broughton, freight traffic manager. Great Northern, St. Paul; H. M. Adams, assistant traffic manager. Great Northern Seattle. Officials Expected Bnck. Officials of the Harrlman system and O. R, & N. Co., who were present, will return to Portland tonight or tomorrow moaning, having made stops at other East ern Washington points after concluding tho business which took them to Spokane. Official notification has been sent to the complainant that rules and regulations will soon be formulated by the Washing ton Commission by which the complaints of this character can be brought to a formal hearing. The power of the com mission to establish joint rates was brought up on a presentation of the spe cific complaint against the Oregon Rail road & Navigation and Northern -Pacific by a Colfax shipper before their refusal to restore to that point the old Joint rate on shipments of Roslyn coal. Sessions of the commission and confer ences at which the various questions were discussed with the railroad officials were held behind closed doors and the confer ence lasted more than seven hours. At Its conclusion, the representatives of the rail roads declined to discuss the procedings. Relief was promised In several Instances where complaints had been filed. Xorth Yakima's Complaint. North Yakima complained of train serv ice and lack of refrigerator cars for the shipment of perishable freight, which the railroad representatives present promised should be corrected. Complaint of Mayor Hunt, of Walla Walla, and other manu facturers of the state, that Eastern manu facturers are able to compete in territory where local manufacturers operate, will bear fruit in a new tariff which will elim inate the present discriminating rates, it is stated. Pasco may have a more com fortable station soon for the accommoda tion of passengers to Walla Walla and points on that branch; other stations will have better sanitary arrangements, and of .great Importance to the taxpayers of the Btate. the railroad unanimously agreed to grant the request of Governor Mead and the .State Board of Control that the 3000-mile tickets now honored for the transportation of guards of state institu tions having wards of the commonwealth in their charge, be used for the transpor tation of such wards also. THE X. P. "WOULD SLIORT-HAUIi J. C Stubbs Gives That Reason for O. R. & X. Action. SPOKANE, Wash.. Aug. 14.Troublo between the State Railway Commission and the Harrlman lines has arisen at the ycrX outset of the Corrualaaioa'ai .V:v. -' work. Tho clash is over the right of the Commission to order a joint rate for handling coal from Roslyn to Col fax, Wash. J. C Stubbs, traffic manager of the Harrlman lines, said: "The Commis sion may make a Joint rate on Roslyn coal If It wants to, but we won't con form to It. If the commission wants to fight, all right, "Do you think we are going to let the Northern Pacific shorthaul us on that Colfax coal trade, after the way the Northern Pacific is treating us on the Sound?" continued Mr. Stubbs. "Do you know that the Northern Pa cific won't Join with us in billing com petitive freight for Seattle or Tacoma over our line to Portland?" ARE GIVEX MORE AUTHORITY Xorthcrn Pacific Freight Rates "Will Be Determined by Local Officials. F. H. Fogarty, assistant general freight agent of the Northern Pacific, announces that freight rates upon the company's lines In the West will hereafter be deter mined by the Northern Pacific officials on the Pacific Coast. Heretofore no charge could be made In freight rates In Oregon or Washington without first re ceiving the sanction of the head office In St. Paul. The new arrangement will place the control of rates entirely In the hands of the local offices, and will give better satisfaction. It is believed, than the old method. The men in the Oregon and Washington offices are In a position to know what changes aro advisable and can henceforth put them in operation without the delay which would be caused by referring them to the St. Paul of fice. "Everything possible will be done to maintain a strong department In Port land," said Mr. Fogarty, "and I believe that it will be even stronger In the future than It has been In the past." Agreement With the Santa Fe. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. U. An agreement has been entered into by President E. H. Harrlman. of the Southern Pacific Company, and Presi dent E. P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe, un der which the California Northwestern, of which the former has secret control, will soon be extended north to Pepper wood, there to connect with the San Francisco & Northwestern, the prop erty of the Santa Fe, and thus furnish a direct overland route from San Fran cisco to Eureka. In other words. Harrlman and Rip icy have agreed that one railroad line is sufficient to handle all traffic orig inating in the vicinity of Humboldt Bay, and that Interests of both trans continental lines can be best served by an interchange of trackage privi leges In Ndrthern California. What Harrlman Offers to Pay. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 14. The Ex aminer says today: Since the arrival of President Harrlman. of the Southern, Pacific Company, In this city, it has be come known that he has offered the Kentucky authorities $48,000 to settle the tax dispute of the company with that state and with Jefferson County, In which the company maintains an of fice. The claim of the stato and county is for unpaid taxes amounting to $11. 357.902 for years between 1900 and 1903 inclusive. Mr. Harrlman claims that all taxes up to two years ago were paid to the then State Auditor, and that the present Auditor. A. J. Bljot, is demand ing taxes dating back into a previous regime. Reason for Delayed Trains. The delay in tho through trains on the Northern Pacific Is explained by the officials of that company as due to the heavy txusenger traffic to the Lewis and Clurk Fair. The telegraph ers' strike prevented trains from run ning on schedule time in the Middle West, but the conditions due to the strike are now being overcome. It is declared, and trains are arriving In St. Paul on time. Although strike condi tions are not entirely relieved, it is the heavy traffic and not the trouble with the telegraphers that is causing the delay of Portland-bound trains, say the officials. Scalping of Tickets Goes On. More trouble confronts the Railway Ticket Protective Bureau. The recent crusade against the ecalpers has sup pressed the sale of tickets at brokers offices, but it has "not mndc an end of the curbstone broker. Tickets aro 11 legally being disposed of continually nt cigar stores, hotels and on the streets, and the bureau Is moetlng with considerable trouble In stopping it- The matter Is the more difficult because many people of good standing resort to this mean;: of disposing of tickets.

KELLIN'S FOOD CO BOSTON, KASff. ASKS LARGER STAFF Chief of Police Wants Three More Detectives. CHANCE IN CIVIL SERVICE Until They Are Assigned to Him, Grltzmacher Says He Will Xot Attempt to Give Slenths Night Details. Chief of Police Grltzmacher says he will be unable to place any of the staff detectives on night duty until the Civil Service Commission furnishes him with three additional men to bring the force up to Its full quota. Chief Grltzmacher also says that he la coins to secure from cities of the East statements of the systems upoft which various detective staffs are worked. This hi In accordance with the wishes of the members of the Board of Police Com missioners and Mayor Lane.. I have my own ideas of how the de tectives should work." said Chief Grltz macher. "but I also want to ascertain how they are handled in other cities. especially Eastern cities. I will secure statements of the various systems." "What Is the reason for delay, and why do you not Immediately assign detectives to the night shifts?" were questions point edly put to Chief Grltzmacher. "There are three vacancies." rcp;d Chief Grltzmacher. "We need these filled beforo we can very well spare any from the day shifts. At this time, we are ap to need men on work during the day. If we had enough men. we could have a couple doing station duty at night." By the three vacancies, Chief Grltz macher meant those of ex-Captain of De tectives Simmons, now deceased; Daniel Welnor, now employed by a local bank, and Lewia Hartman, under suspension for violation of department rules. It is probable a civil service examina tion will be conducted soon, in order to recruit the service. Friends of the Lane administration may stand a pretty good show, If they take a try at it. Regarding Detective Hartman. he is- out of a Job unless he Is able to prove to the Commissioners and Mayor Lane that he did not receive Chief Grltzmacher' 3 telegram, ordering him to return to this city from Ontario, Or., the day he left here for Chicago to bring back Hal Law rence. The railroad company officials say they delivered him the dispatch," and he says they did not. Hartman was tem porarily suspended Saturday, after the hearing at the City Hall.
