Police Chief Gritzmacher Is
sues the Order to His
Patrolmen.
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.
