SUIT OP SHERIFF WORD
SEEKS TO RECOVER IN BEHALF
OF GUARDS.
Argument Made by Both Sides as to
the Legal Status of
the Question.
The quoetlon of the paymont of the bill
of Shorlff Word, amounting to $S60 for
wages mid to guards employed in the
Warwick poolrooms. Portland Club and
other places during the crusade which the
Sheriff successfully waged against the
Portland gamblers, was argued before
Judge Frazer yesterday. Henry B. Mc
Ginn, who appeared for Sheriff Word,
stated that the fines collected In tbe gam
bling cases amounted to over $7000, and
the bill of the Sheriff for cxpenseA. which
wan a little more than 18 per cent of the
pum realised for the county, ought to be
paid.
The county was represented by District
Attorney Manning, and bis deputy, Gus
C. Moser. County Judge Wcbstor and
Commissioners Bnpnos and Llghtner sev
eral months ago voted against the pay
ment of the claim on the ground that
there was no statute authorizing favor
able action.
The District Attorney and bis asrlptant
endeavored to sustain the position taken
by the County Court with legal argu
ments and authorities. The matter came
up on a demurrer to the effect that the
complaint did not state facts sufficient to
constitute a cause of action. Mr. Man
ning cited a decision of tbe Supremo
Court of Oregon that the County
Court. In auditing an account for services
where the amount of the compensation
was not fixed by law, as was the case in
Xhis instance, was doing county business.
Its acts were judicial and its award must
be regarded as just. An action could not
be maintained agalnat a county on such
a claim. Mr. Manning contended.
Mr. McGinn, while conceding that there
was perhaps no specific statute covering
tho matter, assorted that the county was
liable under the general law. "When the
law says to the Sheriff, 'Follow up gam
bling and close it,' he is entitled to all
expends:." said Mr. McGinn. "Then is
no statute saying he can get expenses.
but the statute necessarily implies it
when It directs him to preserve the pub
lie peace and morals."
Mr. McGinn read from the decision of
the Supreme Court In the Xcase case.
where the bheriff was sustained.
Judge Frazer tnk the eas tinder ad
visement.
ENDS HIS LIFE BY GAS
Ralph Obcr, a Carpenter, Commits
Suicide.

with a piece of hose which was connected
with an open gas Jot overhead stuffed in
his mouth. Coroner Finley was notified
ana upon nis arrival stated that the man
bad been dead for several hours, and was
evidently a suicide. No reason can be at
tributed for the act. for Obor had been
oi sooer ana lnausmous cnaracter. ac
cording to the family with whom he was
staying, and they are at a loss to explain
any reason for the suicide He had resid
ed in Portland for the past six years, and
had scarcely oeen out or employment any
length of time during that period. He
was employed by Zellcr & Stokes at the
time of his death, and this firm spoke

Inally came, and a brother In Duluth.
Minn., both of whom have been notified of
his death.

By Arthur A. Greene.
The South has never been fully recon
structed. There's no halo of romance
over New Jersey or Utah, but give us
anything which suggests the region south
of Mason and Dixon's- line and Immediate
ly we hark back to the age of chivalry
with fair maids to be rescued from donjon
keeps and brave knights to do the rescu
ing We forget that Southern men have
long since left off wearing small clothes
with dress swords and now wear the kind
at 55.4B the suit, marked down from Xi.
We forget also that these same men
get their morals and their Ideas of social
niceties from the same sources as the
boys who work behind the gingham
counter of Wriggler's Boston Palace In
Bol?e. Southern women also read the
Delineator and Edward Bok's tips to de
butantes. We're all just the same whrf
stand up when the band plays "The Star-
Spangled. Banner." no matter what the
geographical line?, but we still have the
notion that romance is still working full
hours in the South, where they speak the
English of the west coast ot Africa.
That's the reason why the South Is not
fully reconstructed and the war forgot.
A polyglot generation will come after us
which will know better. Because we are
still too near slavery days we want Just
the sort of things an "Under Southern
Skies" on our stage and in our novels.
Lottie Blair Parker, who wrote the
piece some time after "Way Down East."
knew our 'National weakness, and she
played upon It to the extent of writing a I
very good sort of play about down South !
Colonels, their daughter? and the tropic
love of scions of old families. The South'
is the only place where we get our mod
ern Romeos and Juliets. Eire but for this
we would not have such plays as "Under
Southern Skies."
In many ways it Is good and Interesting
and proper and an audience which filled
the Marquam last night liked it very
much. There are no celobrltles in the
cast on thl? particular occasion. There
are. In fact, no actors or actresses who
rlre abovt- the mediocre, but they give
an acceptable performance and make the
play worth the toll we pay at the door.
The company manager? have dressed
the play with very good scenery and do
not Jar our preconceived notions of
things. The company Is good enough and
the atmosphere Is well enough preserved
to keep up the delusion that down South
things are different than they are In
Clackamas County.
The lady who 1? modestly known, as
Miss Cariotta carries off the honor? from
the rest of the cast a? the old negro
mammy.
There will be a matinee of "Under
Southern Skies" this afternoon and a
flnl tierformance tonight.
