v 16 THE MOANING OREGONIAN, SATUBDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1905. H WILL FiGHJ THE QRDIKANGE Saloon'Man, Convicted of Sell ing Liquor to Minors, Takes Appeal. irWENTY-FIVE-DOLLAR FINE -Gases Jlcard a d Disposed of in Mu nicipal Judge Cameron's Court - -Include Several Liquor v Law Infringements. " IMPORTANT CASE APPEAIXD. A battle royal tils begun In the Municipal 'Court yesterday moraine when Judge Cameron found John Huffman, of the Bureau Saloon, guilty . of selling liquor to' minora and fined him $25. Attorney J. II. Long:, who appeared as counsel for the defense. Immediate ly appealed the case, declaring: his In tention of waging a hot fight to knock out the city ordinance which holds proprietors of saloons alone respon sible for the acts of their bartenders in cases where liquor is sold- to minors. Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald made a vigorous reply. In which he emphatically declared this ordinance to be the important one most frequently used by the city to Con serve public morals and fix responsi bility in such cases. He said he would go to the Supreme Court with the case. If necessary. A fight to the finish is on between At torney J. M. Long, representing: John Huffman, of the Bureau saloon, charged with selling liquor to minors, and Deputy City Attorney Fitgcrald. the prosecutor. "When Municipal Judge Cameron found the defendant guilty and fined him $25, the case was 'appealed and Mr. Long de clared his intention of battling -with a purpose of knocking out the ordinance which fixes upon proprietors of liquor establishments the responsibility for acta committed therein. .When Mr. Long's purpose became known to Mr. Fitzgerald, the latter made a vig orous speech to Judge Cameron, In which he declared that should this ordinance be defeated In court, the city would have no means of controlling saloonkeepers who J desire liquor to be sold to rAlnors, or who wteh disorderly women to frequent tholr resorts. He paid he was prepared and would fight the case through to the Supreme Court of Oregon, If necessary to win the very important point. "They are attacking one .of the most Important ordinances of the city that I have depended upon for years to restrict those who willingly or otherwise would corrupt the morals of the youth of Port land," said Mr. Fitzgerald, In an Inter view. "If responsibility is shifted to any old bartender that might be employed for a day and then discharged. It will be one of the most disastrous things that has happened here in years. I will wage this fight to the Supreme Court, if nec essary. I have no doubt as to the remilt, but 1 shall prepare for a hard fight, real izing fully the grave Issue Involved." The conviction of Huffman was brought about by the testimony of Guy McConncll, of J070 East Alder street, and Ed Lyons, of 186 East Thirty-seventh street- They swore they entered the Bureau saloon, at First and Morrison streets, on two occasions and drank beer each time, i It Is the contention of Attorney Long that, during the absence of the proprie tor, and when the saloon Is In charge of the bartender, liquor cannot be sold with the permission of the owners of the establishment, provided It can be shown, as In this case, that he did not allow liquor to be sold to minors. Huffman testified that he never allowed minors In his saloon. He said that he even instructed his bartender not to per mit messenger boys to come In. or the boy who delivers papers. Under these circumstances. Mr. Long argued, Huffman ought not to be held liable for the act of a bartender. He said the bartender. Ed "Warner, denied selling the beer to the boys, and that It was the belief of the defendant that they were mistaken In regard to the saloon in which they purchased the drinks. Judge Cameron dismissed the cases against Tom McGHnn and Sam Boiler, late of the ill-fated Tuxedo saloon, .charged by Dan Connors with assault and battery. , Special Policeman Johnson, who arrest ed ex-Special Policeman Mott, charging "after hours." did not succeed in convict ing his rival on the beat, for when the evidence was all heard yesterday morn ing Judge Cameron quickly dismissed the case, as it was shown Johnson "had it In" for Mott, the latter being engaged In the same business and being able to hold some business concerns which Johnson wished to secure to add to his bank roll. John Ellis runs a saloon at 35 North Third street, and has a habit of keeping open house between 1 and 5 A. M.. which habit yesterday cost him $50, it being the second time he had been before Judge Cameron on a similar charge. ' Beulah Howerton. aged 19 years, who was taken from a saloon kept by W. A. Schue, at 851 Upshur street, by Sergeant Slover. .testified that she bad always been able 4o secure any kind of liquor she wished there, although she had told the proprietor her age, and he knew it was contrary to law to serve her with drinks or to permit her to be In his establish ment. She said she went Into the placo with Stella Schue, daughter of the keeper, with a "live one," meaning, she said, a man who was taking them around for a good time that nlghA The case was continued so that the defense might pro duce evidence. "While her baby girl of 3 years and boy of 9 months were being cared for by Tier mother, Mrs. Dolly May, of Sellwood. was prinking beer at the Yukon sklooiC First and Columbia street, operated by D. Man go. Acting Detectives Kay and Jones arrested the woman and the keeper of the place, and they were on trial yester day; before Judge Cameron. "Tou would best remain at home and 'take care of your, babies," said Judge Cameron. "I don't want to punish you, -If -you will do as you should, and care for those little ones. If you persist in going into saloons and .drinking; if you are de termined to spend your time in such places, then I will have to punish you. "What do you say?" "I will never go to another saloon," was the woman's reply. "I willkeep away from there and .stay home." Both. Mrs. "May and Mango were! re leased, i G. W. McCoy, W. B. Brs&g, R. JL .Reed, L. JL Bank and Xtrttmu EshMtl were arrested by Policeman Welch at the UIon Depot, charged with refusing to oMy regulations of the department there. They put up a hard fight, trying to show malice on the part of the officer, but failed and were instructed that they must obey whatever he ordered there or suffer severe punishment, if again brought Into court. Nels Anderson, proprietor of the Horse shoe saloon. Third and Taylor streets, was fined '$25 for permitting a disorderly woman to enter and remain in his estab lishment. J. Mink was fined $15 for assaulting and heating F. Brown. "Wong Chung dared to offer Sergeant of Police Hogeboom a bribe, the other night, when the officer raided his place at lSTj Second street, in search of an oplum stnoklng outfit, and when Judge Cameron ascertained this, he promptly sentenced the Chinese to serve a term of 30 days in the City JaiL The arresting officer said .that "Wong had been permitting women and men to frequent his "Joint? and smoke, and that when the arrest was made the Celestial offered him tainted money to call It off. BITES CHEEK OF ENEMY TO.U ROLAND MAKES VICIOUS ASSAULT OX J. VERXIERE. Thinks That Latter Was Responsible for His Arrest and Attack Him on Leaving Court. Hardly had Tom Roland been released from custody by Municipal Judge Cam eron yesterday noon, than he bit a chunk out of J. Vernlere's cheek, and was again arrested and locked up until he furnished cash ball. Roland was before Judge Cameron yes terday, charged by Louisa Wood with dis orderly conduct, by beating tin cans, to the annoyance of herself and the general public In the vicinity of 300 North Twelfth street. When the case was called. Roland ap peared quite Intoxicated, and behaved in a manner that caused Judge Camemn to rebuke him. "You are drunk, are you not?" asked Judge Cameron of Roland. "I'm about normal condition." replied Roland. "I am always between drunk and sober." Louisa Wood stated her complaint to Judge Cameron, saying that for. many months .Roland had not ceased to annov herself and the public by beating a tattoo on tin cans and various other weird In struments. Roland promised to behave himself In future, and . to quit making unseemly noises. He was then discharged. Early In the afternoon, however. Ro land collided with Vernlere. who he be lieved to be partly responsible for he aT- rest. He made what is alleged to be a most vicious assault upon Vernlere. and during the row planted his teeth In his op ponent's left cheek, tearing the flesh and leaving a bad wound. Vernlere Is a teamster In the employ of the Columbia Transfer Company, and re sides at 451 Kearney street. Roland op erates a saloon at 200 North Twelfth, where he has held forth 15 years. immediately after the assault Vernlere hurried to the office of District Attorney Manning, where Deputy H. B. Adams pre pared the complaint. A warrant was Is sued out of the Munlcvlpal Court, and the arrest made. CONTEST IN ORATORY. Interstate Collegiate Meet Under Prohibition Association Auspices.
