9 6 JTHE M0J&ST2i(x OSEGOMA2, TUESDAY, AUUTTST 22, 1H05. STOOL PIGEON" S IN GUSTQDY "Bob" Lucas Is Placed Un ; der Arrest by Patrol man Scallen. TON-- STREET AFTER HOURS iSuspected of Burglary and Said to Be One of the Informants of Detective on the Po lice Force. "Bob" Lucas, reputed to be a "stool pigeon" in the employ of Headquarters jjeteotive Joe Day. was picked up at First and Shorldan streets at 1:30 o'clock yes terday morning by Policeman Scallen. He was sent to the City Jail by the patrol man, and booked on a charge of being on the streets "after hours." Yesterday morning Lucas was arraigned in the Municipal Court, pleaded not guilty, and his case was set for hearing tomor row. Lucas has been In trouble many times before, and each time oscaped serious punishment through the assistance of va rious detectives, for whom he was work ing as a "stool-pigeon." He has been suspected of doing some burglaries' and highway robberies of recent years. Policeman Scallen states that a burg lary was recently perpetrated in South Portland by a man answering the de scription of Lucas, and It was not far from the scene of that crime ttyat Lucas was found yesterday morning. "I understand that Lucas Is a 'stool pigeon for one of the detectives, I be lieve Joe Day Is the one," said Policeman Scallen. "But that cuts no figure with me; I will not permit any man of such a character as Lucas to roam about on my beat at 60 late an hour, no matter if he-is a 'stool-pigeon.' A burglary was recently committed In South Portland, and the man who committed It answered the description of Lucas. I can't see what legitimate business Lucas could have out at 1:30 o'clock in the morning." Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald re fused to permit Lucas tb go on his own recognizance, and Judge Cameron fixed his bail at $50. He had to go back to his cell in the City Jail. Mud-slinging campaigns of Portland politicians have all been slight in com parison to one in which John Mulloy, Herbert Werp and a dozen other young men engaged near a brickyard at East Twenty-eighth and Division streets re cently. In the melee James Bell, at that time a maker of brick, but now studying' to become a detective and to get one of the snaps on the Portland staff at a high salary, claims to have been hit in the short ribs by a stone and knocked com pletely out. Bell did not see the boy who hurled the stone at him, but he had progressed far enough in the school of detectivity to be able to deduct sufficient evidence from circumstances to tell which boys threw the missile. He saw and recognized John Mulloy and Herbert Werp at the scene, and fixed the blame upon them. He caused their arrest, and In court yester day declared emphatically they were guilty. They swore they threw nothing but mud, and Judge Cameron said Bell must produce more evidence or the cases would be dismissed. A continuance was taken. Process of evolution is rapidly reducing George Marshall to thin air. At first he was arrested by Detective Joe Day for murder in the first degree; later the charge was blackmail, and now the young man turns out to be a simple vagrant. Whether or not a simpler charge will yet be laid by Day is for the future to divulge. A letter, written on straw paper by some Joker, came Into the possession of Marshall, one of Day's "stool-pigeons" "tipped it off." and Joe split the air run ning to a given point, where the "pigeon" told him he could find Marshall. Joe thought he had a line on the man who administered poison to Mrs. Van Dran, and it was to Jail with the terrible mon ster. Later things learned by other detectives proved Joe's great discovery wrong, how over, and yesterday morning Joe sent Detective Vaughn into the Municipal Court with Marshall on a simple charge of -vagrancy. Marshall pleaded not guilty and will be tried today. Policeman Evans and Acting Detectives Kay and Jones raided the Palm saloon. 191 Third street, Sunday afternoon 'and captured some men. against whom charges of gambling were lued. N. Bur relback. proprietor of the establishment, was also charged with permitting gam bling in his place of business. Draw poker was the game. t Those arrested were N. Burrelback, William Russell. V. C. Jackson. Ben Mal Fom and Louie Cohen. John F. Kottner, of St. Johns, who was engaged in the game with the others, came to polico headquarters and "tipped" the game. The cases will be heard later. . G. H. Woodard. arrested by Detective Carpenter on a charge of vagrancy, swore when before Judge Cameron yesterday, and was fined one day for each word he uttered 1n the sentence containing an oath. After his ten days are up, he may be ordered to leave town. He once bo fore was ordered to do so. but failed to -eephis promise to go. Fred Hedghbeth, a young man from Southern California, came into court and appealed to Deputy City Attorney Fitz gerald for a warrant for the arrest of E. P. McCroskey, keeper of the Canadian Employment Arency. 249 .tturnslde street. Hodgobcth declared that there was 52 coming to him from the agency, which it refused to .pay. and also tnat when he de manded his money back. McCroskey as saulted him. Japanese Concert in Church. Japanese music will be introduced to Portlanders at the Grace M. E. Church, Twelfth and Taylor streets, tomorrow evening at S o'clock.

Professor Iwamoto and Professor TakaorL VICTIMS MAKE COMPLAINT Partner and Stenographer in Realty Firm Arc Buncoed. A pretty, young woman, who refused to give her name to the police, called upon Chief Grltzmacher yesterday and told htm that she worked as a stenographer for N. Sprague, colored, three months and that phe had never received a cent for her services. Sprague is 60 years old. and until lart night was operating a real estate office at 122 Grand avonue. Business was not so brisk as it might have been, it is aid, but nevertheless, the head of the firm thought it necessary to omploy the young woman In the capacity of stenog rapher. From time to time, she stated, he excused himself for not paying her the salary agreed upon, but assured her he would do so "when things looked up a little." Accompanying the pretty, but mys terious young woman, was Fred Wagner, who also had a tale of woe to tell Chief Grltzmacher. His particular grievance was that he entered the real estate office of Sprague as a partner, paying for the privilege $103 in hard-earned coin. He thought he was getting on in the world when he got into the business, and looked forward to a time when he would be a millionaire. Sprague proved to be a good manager for himself. He was worried about his new-found partner, for fear he would not get rich rapidly enough. Sprague pro posed that Wagner put up another $109. which Sprague said he could Invest to good purposes and it would bo bringing in something for Wagner while the dol lars were rolling in from other directions and swelling the coffers of the firm of Sprague & Wagner. Wagner now says that he trusted Sprague. because he was a good, old man. and so like a father would be to a son. However, Wagner is out Just ($300, and his erstwhile partner is gone. ' When asked what she would like the police to do, the unknown, pretty woman said she knew enough about affairs of the business world to realize that she had been buncoed and could not hope to get any of the salary due her. Wagner felt differently, and wants the police to locate and arrest Sprague. FUNERAL OF JAN WAY. Oriental Rites for Wealthy Chinese Merchants Are Held. . The funeral rites of Jan Way, one of the most Important merchants in the Chi nese colony, was held at First and Alder streets yesterday afternoon with all the elaborate ceremony which It is customary to bestow over the woalthlestof the Chi nese. Jan Way. who was 70 years of age and a member of the Yuen-Way Com pany, has been in the general merchan dise business in Portland and wag hlghly esteemed by hia countrymen. A large crowd collected to see the Chi nese go through their customary services over the dead, and the officers had diffi culty In keeping "them back. The usual forms were gone through, but It was not entirely an Oriental ceremony, for Brown's band had been engaged for the occasion and headed the procession In stead of the usual discordant Chinese orchestra. Fully 50 carriages bearing the well-to-do Chinese of the city followed the body to the cemetery. It is the ambition of all Chinese to accumulate money during their life to pay the expense of having their body embalmed and sent to rest among Its ancestor in the Flowery Kingdom. Few attain this, as the expense is heavy. Those who do not leavo sufficient money for this are burled and their bones later exhumed and sent to China. Those who die in pov erty are not taken back to the home-land and this Is the greatest misfortune that can befall a Chinese. Jan Wan died wealthy and his body will not be interred here, although ft was taken to Lone Fir Cemetery for the last rites. It was brought back to Holman'? undertaking parlors to be embalmed and sent to China on the next boat. FOR THATVACANT DAY Remember the Columbia River Scen ery and the Steamer Undine.

Canadian Pa cific Ry 142 Third st.. Portland. Or. Directing Immigration Hither. That the Fair has turned the attention of Easterners to Oregon as never before, is shown by the fact that the commercial bodies and railroads are receiving con stant Inquiries from all sections in regard to the opportunities open here. Theclr culars that have been sent throughout the East bring letters asking for further information in every mall. What one small booklet accomplished is shown by the following clipping from a letter received by General Passenger Agent A. L. Craig, of the O. R. & X., and written by a man in Central Ohio: "I received your booklet about Oregon and it has completely convertod me. so that I am ready to start now. I am lired of the cold Winters here, as we have had two extra hard ones. I have seven chil dren ranging1 from 1 to 19 years, and we want to leave this section the first of October." While each circular sent out does not bring such' results, the foregoing seems conclusive evidence that direct advertis ing pays. The superior Inducements that tue state has to offer are well set forth in the thousands of booklets sent out by the different railroad companies and the commercial agencies. If one booklet can draw eight people to Oregon, there seems to be immense possibilities in the vast amount of advertising that is now being done. Climbs Wall to Fair Ground. Rather than pay the 50-cent admission fee charged to enter the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds, L Rouf, a native of Russia, scaled the walls at 2 o'clock yes terday afternoon. He had no sooner struck tne earth than Detective Peyton, of the Fair staff, nabbed him. Rouf was turned over to a guard, ordered taken to police headquarters and a charge of trespass filed against him. He was booked by Acting Captain Quln lan, and ball of 510 cash demanded. To the astonishment of those present, the prisoner extracted $135 in crisp, new greenbacks, from his wallet, deposited the required sum and walked away.
