FRANK LAMB IS ARRESTED He Is a Protege of Joe Day and of Snow and Kerrigan, but That Fact Fails to Save Him. Patrolmen of the Portland Police department are determined to "clean out" the "stool-pigeons." many of whom have been Infesting- the city and in cessantly perpetrating burglaries, sneak thefts and other crimes, under the protection of members jal the head quarters staff of detectives. War against "stool-pigeons" serving: members of the detective staff was be gun by Patrolman Scallcn, who re cently arrested "Bob" Lucas, Detective Day's "pigeon," and this arrest was fol lowed quickly by that of Frank Lamb, who was taken into custody Wednes day night by Patrolman Wade, of the first relief. Lamb's arest. which was not accom pllshed until Patrolman Wade fired several shots at the fleeing form, had caused consternation among the de tectives. Lamb has served as a "stool pigeon" for a long time, trying to act in that capacity for Kerrigan and Snow and Joe Day at one and the same time. Because of his policy of attempt lng to work for three detectives at once, frequent clashes occurred be- , tween Kerrigan and Snow on the one 1 hand and Day on the other. Of late, i it is said. Lamb has been pretty loyal to Joe Day, which aroused the anger of Kerrigan and Snow to a high pitch. However, Kerrigan and Snow did not arrest Lamb, although Chief Gritz macher had issued an order, command ing the entire force to round up all members of the vagrant classes and drive them from the city. It is said Kerrigan and Snow hesitated to ar rest Lamb because they feared a fight would result with Joe Day. It. there fore, remained for Patrolman Wade, a man who has been on the force but three months, to obey the Chief's or der and arrest this "stool-pigeon." Lamb was arraigned before Judge Cameron in the Municipal Court, and pleaded guilty to a charge of vagrancy. 31e desired leniency, he said, and men tioned something about having a chance to go to sea on a sailing ves sel. He said he had an opportunity, but disliked to take that sort of a proposition. His case was continued until tomorrow. Lamb was also ar rested for enticing a white girl into Chinatown. Detectives have always come to his rescue heretofore, but it is said they fear to attempt negotia tions now, as the entire staff is in dis favor with the administration, the pub lic and the powers that be at police headquarters. The recent arrests of "stool-pigeons" are remarkable, as heretofore patrol men have feared to interfere with these worthless criminals, else they might encounter trouble, worked up in one way and another by the detectives, for revenge. Strong backing of the uni formed men by the Mayor, the Chief and the captains, is said to be respon sible for the good work of the men who perform the real work of the de partment, x Despite the gray hairs that crown the head of G. Foster, and his pleas ant face, he is Just a plain vagrant, and was ordered out of the city yester day when he came before Judge Cam eron. "This old man was picked up by the police last night without a cent of money, and with no abiding place." said Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald to Judge Cameron. "He'll have to move out of here we've got no use for him." Foster admitted he was "broke," and said, he was en route to the Palouse country In Eastern Washington, to se cure work. "'You'll have to cross the city limits before 2 o'clock today or be rearrested and brought in 'here to serve out a term in Jail," said Judge Cameron. "Be careful, for we can't have vagrants nere. i-romising to "niKe," the old man .hurried out of the courtroom, and down the street, toward a string of boxcars in the Terminal yards. Nick Burrelbach. proprietor of the Gem saloon, 191 Third street, was fined 515 for permitting a game of poker to be operat ed ' in that establishment last Saturday nignt, ana Louie Cohen, V. C. Jackson and William Russell were fined $5 each for participating In it. with John F. Kett ner, of St. Johns, as a "sucker."" He lost J1Z and reported the game to Captain of Police Moorer who promptly had it "pulled. Three Chinese, who engaged in a came of chance in a store at 135 Second street recently, were fined $5 each by Judge Cameron. They entered a plea of guilty. through ex-Municipal Judge Hogue. They were arrested py Policeman Craddock George Faulkner is a "fresh" youngster. who is employed by a messenger com pany, and rides a wheel on sidewalks whenever It suits his fancy. Policeman Thompson arrested him for this act Wednesday night, and Faulkner got very saucy. "'Don't get fresh with me," was a sam ple of the language used by Faulitner toward Policeman Thompson, when the arrest was made. The defendant admit ted using this sentence, and others of like effect. Judge Cameron disliked this manner of the young man very much, and gave him a severe lecture, admonishing him to behave himself differently in future, or suffer a heavy penalty. This time he was fined ?1.
