10 TJULK MOK3TLNG- OKEGOXIAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24. 1905. L IS FACE NO COMPLAINT: Prepared by Deputy City At torney, but Not Signed by Prosecution. MANNING. AS GRAND JURY District Attorney Calls Mayor Idinc and Captain Bruin as Witnesses. Municipal Judce Cameron Delays Vacation. Thusr muth-talked-of complaints, that have to be filed against the Milwaukie Kamblcrs before they can be brought to trial are ready for Inspection and ap proval of Mayor line's special prose cutors They were prepared yesterday by Deput City Attorney Fitzgerald, and would have been filQd by this time, but the CUy Attorney was unable to reach e.rr Attorney Greene or Henry' McGinn n order to submit the complaints to them: fo another day has slipped off the calen dar, and the end Is not In sight. Tbcre were several new chapters added to Mayor Lane's latest and most popular s'ory of ' The Tale of Two Cities." Dis trict Attorney John Manning bottled up the talk or mandamus proceedings by sit ting as a grand jury. The District At torney gavo Into the hands of his private fflr-er a bundle of subpenas. which In duded the Mayor and his raiding officers, tjapta'n Eruin was the first witness to apprar before District Attorney Manning, 2nd under oath told his story. Mayor Lane, when he arrived at the District At tone's office, seemed surprised to see ther Detectives Kerrigan and Snow, Car ptn'f r and Rclslng, .Toe Day, Officer John so:i and Sergeant Hogeboom. waiting for their turn to tell their Btory of the raid of Milwaukie gamblers. The Mayor expected that the investigation would be In the nature of a public gathering, and voiced 1 s surprise when he was Informed that ach witness was being heard behind v nsod doors and alone. In the presence f District Attorney Manning. For the i"one Ills Honor seemed to have forgot i n that the District Attorney could sit as a grand jury. He discovered this when he was sworn by Mr. Manning. Jjst how weighty the evidence was t .at Mayor Lane anil the members of he Portland police force offered before Mr. Manning's grand jury Is not known, for no return from the grand jury has ren made. The report was delayed be- nuse Captain. Bruin wanted to bring trec more witnesses before the District A'orncj, It seems that these three wit nesses whom the police captain wishes hard were three men whom he had aken along on the raid as witnesses. District Attorney Manning recessed his grand Jury until some time today, when l:e will reconvene and hear the testimony of Captain Bruin's three witnesses. The rrnort of tho grand Jury' will then be f rthcoming. Judge Cameron Will Stay. One of the Important chapters added to tne story was the announcement thnt Judge Cameron had decided not to start on his vacation on Saturday. Judge Cameron did not like the insinuation which had gone abroad that he was getting out from under." He had de eded three weeks ago that he was g-o-i'g- to spend Thanksgiving' with rela tives, and he had made up his mind to leave on Saturday. Yesterday, however, in order to sot at rest any criticism he lnf jrmed Mayor Lane that it would not be necessary for His Honor to appoint a JuBticc to hoar the case of the Mil waukie gamesters. Taat the attorneys, both for the Major and for the defense are "up In ihe air" is hardly deniable. Attorney Dan Malarltcy yesterday morning; ap peared before Judge Cameron and askeJ for an order for the money and the gambling devices taken from the Mil waukie Club on the night of the raid. Judge Cameron refused to grant the crder on tne ground that the case as It s'ood was not properly before him and stated tnat he could take no action until complaints had been filed. Almost '$1000 was taken away from the people who ow.ied the club and It was Attorney Malarkey'a desire to have this money returned and real estate bonds glvon in I's place. t Mayor Lane Is Coy. Mayor L.ane is still very coy arid nor committal when he is asked to dis cuss his side of the case. When asked again yesterday afternoon whether T. G Greene and Henry McGinn were to represent him as private prosecutors, he again reached in and plucked a quo tation from the Bible. He was as sny and as noncommittal as Wordsworth's little maiden and would not deny or affirm whether Attorneys Greene and McGinn would appear against the gam blers. During the day a wild-eyed ru mor became afloat to the effect that Mayor Lane had stated that should the case be decided against him, he would raid the Milwaukie Club again and if that did not close' them, he would burn the clubhouse down. The Mayor laughed heartily when told of the rumor. 'I haven't gone into the arson busi ness," up said, us he arranged the shades In his office. ""Some one in Milwaukie heard of the r jmored threat to burn. Mayor, and the residents say that if you attempt this hev will meet you with a vigilance committee.' ' f wouldn't blame them In the least." nc remarked, "so I am not going to do a. tning to invite the committee." Then the Mayor wanted to know who i was that started the story. He was als) told that a citizen of Milwaukie 1 questioned the Mayor's right to regulate the morals of "two cities," nd had pointed to the fact that Port lrd v.as harboring one of the most "various forms of modern gambling the s'ot machines. This fellow thinks that If you were so bent upon a moral clean up of cities. j j had better stop the slot-machine gambling In your own city," he was told Who ays that? Give us facts. We're n it receiving rumors today," the Mayor tartly demanded. 'Are you trading today," he was asked. Well, perhaps." he replied. "Let's ppe what you have to trade." . Well. If you will tell whether Attor npj.s Greene and McGinn have been cm l'ovad oy you as special prosecutors to punish the gamblere. If they are to serve without fees, and If not whether you are go'ng to pay them out of your own pocket or have the city pay them, names will be given you." Somehow the window shade? still need, ed adjusting, and while His Honor was arranging them to this liking he closed the conversation by saying: I m not trading today. People will know what hap ben done when' the com p'alnts hnve been filed." T.iat there will bt several new phases 1 In the case today is certain. The Mil waukie officials have not lain down by any means. They are watching overy move that Is made In Portland, and it would not be Surprising to hear some thing drop from that end of the fight this afternoon, 'in Milwaukie several prominent men are of the. opinion that politics and the waning gambler fac tions ar responsible for the raid. Coun cilman Phillip Streib in discussing the raid yesterday, ?aid: "Some time ago before we arranged with the owners of the Milwaukie Club house we were approached by another combination of Portland men. who wast ed to put In a similar clubhouse in MIl-H waukle on the same conditions. But we thought wie was enough. One would be as much as we wanted to look ator. If there happened to be disorder, so we positively 'refused to let in aaothor club house In Milwaukie Now these parties whe could get in here are in one who are making trouble for the one here. 1 know enough about the Portland Ram blers to know that they quarrel among themselves, and when one combinRtion sets more than another there Is always trouble. And so that Is what cause." the trouble here in Milwaukie." Councilman Streib in 'his talk at the mass meeting in Milwaukie toW this story: "Mayor L.ane recently attended a Geripan xnust cale when 1 was present and he made a little talk, saying that he .was about half German himself. He sold, however, tlfere was a vacancy In hi? head In the mat. ter of music.. 1 think that If Mayor Lane's head wor. examined cloudy there I .aura Urecg.

Because they are alleged to have neg lected to obey an act of Congress stipu lating certain kinds of safety appliances for cars, the Southern Pacific. Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company, North ern Pacific and Terminal Company will have to defend themselves in a suit for penalties Instituted yesterday by As sistant District Attorney W. W. Banks In the United States District Court. The total penalties asked for amount to 51600, which Is 5100 for each cause for suit. Tlie Southern Pacific is asked to pay 5309; the Terminal company. 5700; th Northern Pacific, 5300. and the O. R. & N.. ?00. The act under which suit Is brought was passed by Congress In ISM and amended in 1903. It provides that auto, matic and continuous brakes shall be In stalled upon cars by all railroad com panies. These brakes are regarded as essential to the safety of train hands as they enable countings to be made without requiring trainmen to go between the cars. R. F. Outcault, "Daddy of Buster Brown," Delights a Big Gathering at Marquam M ANY of us didn't know before that two or three dextrous turns of th pencil could . produce a really expressive picture. But after visiting R. P. Outcault, father of "Buster Brown." .at the Mar quam theater yesterday afternoon, there can be no doubt of it. Buster's progenitor created line characters with a couple of strokes and finished portraits with a dozen. The turnout of Buster's youthful admirers was equally as great as that most eminent Individual, Kris Krlngle, might reasonably expect were he to lec ture at the Marquam. When Mr. Outcault came on the stage for his afternoon talk he found a veritable ocean of growing humanity before him. Here and there was an auditor of mature years. From the first the waves of Ju venile Interest ran high', and occasional typhoons of acclamation swept the sur face ns some familiar face grew as if by magic on Outcault' cascL He filled up Amonc the Atidlenre Were Uufttrrs j I (ialore. ?

Walling, alias St. Clair, r young man of 20. who was before Judge Frazer yes "tcrday seeking a parole on" h larceny charge, explained that his trouble was all due to Miss Baxter whom he described as an Indulgent old woman, and eight or ten drinks of absinthe.

John eon on Novembor 5. "Walling related a strange story of A. night's adventure and debauch In an In telligent manner, using good language. He said he was by profession a cook and was born near Colfax. Wash.. Possess ing some stage talent he joined a vaude ville troupe at Bellingham. Wash., and adopted the stnge name of St. Clair by which he was widely known. Coming to Portland lie quit the stage and for a time worked for T. J. Concannon. grocer. Later he was employed In the Barr Ho tel, Inside Inn. Westminster Hotel, and numerous other places. On tile night in question he snid he entered a drugstore nl Fourth and Washington streets and telephoned to n friend, using his -stuge name St. Clair. Miss Baxter, the 'in dulgent old woman" whose age he placed at about 41. stood close by and overheard the telephone conversation and compli mented him upon his pronunciation of the name St. Chtlr. They struck up an acquaintance and after a long talk on tho sidewalk, she Invited him to the Palm saloon, saying she was going after a trunk. Once Inside drinks were ordered. He treated, sb did Miss Baxter and the piano player. Johnson was there ami was Introduced. Walling stated thnt he drank so much absinthe that he fell into a stupor. He remembered that he ac companied Johnson to Johnson's room and had a vague recollection of being aroused from a deep sleep in his own room and being arrested. His own over Coat was in the room and also Johnson's. Walling said he did not know how John son's property happened to be in his pos session. It was all a drunken" dream. R. G. Draker employment agent, testi fied that lie obtained a. half a dozen or more places for Walling, who would work a few weeks or a month and then return looking for another situation. Judge Frazer continued the case for further Investigation. Charles A. Petraln. attorney for the prisoner, said his client had never been in trouble before. He advised him to plead guilty because he knew drunkenness was a poor defense to put before a Jury. Asks Allowance and Suit Money. A motion for $30 suit money and 50) the Intervals with .stories that appealed to the little ones, and kept them in a laughing mood. For the children It was an excellent object-lesson in drawing. Little Willie, who had spent a couple of hours trying to copy a face out of his geography, saw this ond accomplished to perfection In a Jiffy. Johnny, who had been trying for the past month to draw h dog, saw an excellent cur grow quicker than he could ejaculate Jackson JL Robinson. While keen Interest was shown In every orfc of the lightning sketches, it was In "Tlge" and 'Bustcr" that the greatest enthusiasm centered. It was a revelation 1 to the little ones to see thoir favorites grow under a rapidly wielded pencil. Many of them were disillusioned. learning for the first time that "Buster" was a crea ture of fancy, and not a reality even though his living prototypes may be counted by the thousands. Mr. Outcault stories were good. Most Some of OutraultS Drawing. j for rapport filed by Mrs. France Earl, whose husband. D. W. Earl.

The Earls have been married only about a year, and Earl says his wife and her brother, Leon Jones, are trying to get his money. It Is a case of an old husband and a young wife. Affidavits of a. sensational character concerning the relations of Mrs. Earl and her brother wera read. Mr. Allen read counter affi davits, and also affidavits showing that Karl had treated his wife cruelly. Coun sel said an allowance of J10CO would not be out of place, but they had only asked for J30) and $30 suit money. The court took the matter under advisement. NOVEL SUIT IS UPHELD. Action to Quiet Title to Personal Property Is LcruI. Judge Frazer ycetcntey held that a suit to tuiot title to personal property was a proper legal proceeding. Tills is the first case of the kind ever brought In this county, so far a? known. Henry Witt sued George T. Potent to quiet title to -CO cord? of wood.

PITIABLE SCENE IN COURT Brother of Accused, on the Witness Stand, Forced to Admit Thnt lie Himself Served Term In Prison for Theft. A pathetic jeene wat enacted In the Municipal Court yesterday ? morning, when Frank Level was placed on trial on a charge of vagrancy. The father, aged years, was a witness, having been subpenaed by his son. and not alone was compelled to testify, but In addition ."Ml-. Ijinnx Clay, a Nlcre of the Creut Commoner. Henry Clay. had to bear the pain of hearing Louis Level, another son. .admit himself an ex-convict. Not one In the courtroom lutd the heart to prcs the charge. and out of sympathy for the sorrowing and feeble father. Dep uty City Attorney Fitzgerald arose and asked Judge Cameron to excrcls clem ency in the matter, and His Honor dis charged the accused. Although the police swore that the de fendant, a man of mature years, was In the habit of frequenting: dlven and spend ing his nights In company with disrepu table persons, the father stuck by his son and swore that he- wns industrious ami a good boy. so far as he knew. The aged man trembled violently while on the stand, but conducted himself ndmir- i ably, considering the embarrassing cir cumstances. Most pitiful of all features of the case occurred when Louis Level took the ' stand. He swore that his brother wns a good man. Industrious and far from be ing a vagrant, but upon cross-exam Ina- ! tlon he was obliged to admit that seven years ago he himself served a term In the Penitentiary for burglar, and his testimony was thus clouded. While this wns transpiring, the father buried his hltj hands and Cried. ' W,th tn? strlcl Instruction of the court ' never again to be caught about queftlon- ; aoie resorts. Frank Level was discharged. and the father tottered from the room between his sons. Judge Cameron refused to grant an other continuance In the case against Al Close, of the Totem atloon. West Park and Morrison streets, and forced Alex Swcofc to trial without his witnesses. Under the circumstance. Close arose and pleaded guilty. A fine of 525 was Im posed. The defendant was accused of permitting Immodest women to enter and remain In his establishment. Jutt previously. Judge Cameron had dis charged Fred Close, who was on trial Wednesday for permitting Immodest women to enter the Waldorf saloon, as the court said he did not believe they were present long enough for Close to exercise his discretion nnd eject them. Attorney Sweek asked- for another con- 1 1 nuance, and Mr. Fitzgerald was willing-. to grant this. Acting Detective Kny. who I made the arrest, also wished a post none- ', ment. he said, and suggested that the case be tried out next week. For reasons best known to himself, however. Judge Cameron refused to continue It. and Close pleaded guilty. Judge Cameron accompanied Acting Detective Kay to the Waldorf saloon Wednesday afternoon, but said. In an nouncing his decision In that case, that his visit had not altered his opinion as to the. Innocence of the defendant. He said, however, that he could scarcely un derstand how seven men could have" been In the place, as was sworn by them, and not be seen by the officers who made the raid. .

Searchlight on Causes of Graft in JATc Insurance. , PORTLAND. Nov. 25. 4Tm th- Editor.) Th i pending InvtMlgatten of lb- great New York ; lire Ineuraace companies still eeeuples a prorn !

The evidence ad duced of extravagant salaries, pensions to re tired ofTIcc ra and to widows, fat contracts with favored manager and participation by ofticcrs and directors in the profits of syndi cates, arouse general Indignation at uch dlFslpatlon of funds that would otherwise be cen verted Into surplus and be apportioned' In dividends to policy-holders.

Pruple naturally eek to discover an ad auate tauze for whatever evils exist, and In dlscus.Mn-r the grafts In nfe hMwanee. affairs, no cause b to frequently and strongly urged as that of "deferred dividends.' The Wea ad vanced, and common observation proves it not a violent ofumption. is that any large accumulation of funds to he accounted for only i the end of a long period, and evn then by some plan known only to a few in tho inner management, furnlshe both templa-, tlon and opportunity to draw from nch fund to satisfy personal greed, and onte induljced in the practice wilt surely grew with hs in dulgence. And what Is the true meaains of the term "deferred dlridenda"? In the early years of life irj-uraace. most companies distributed their dividends on a deferred, plan, a five-year term being moot usual. But In adjusting a claim for a doath occurring during a quinquennial period, the dividend? earned and accrued since the Jkst distribution were paid with the principal snm. and there was no forfeiture of dividend. A little later the "contribution" plan of appor tioning dividends cam. into general we. wuh their distribution annually, applied either in reduction of premium or in addition tn the amount Insured. The advent of the "tonthH policy Introduced Into the huslneos the ele ment of forfeiture, placing at the rfcrk of lo- a considerable portion of the protection of de pendent ones, that b the underlying principle of life insurance. Taking Ita name from its inventor. Sisaor Tontl. the "tontine"" b a pure Investment echcme. the exact reverse of life insurance, for the Investor therein who died or failed to make every payment during the tontine pe. ried. forfeited all he had paid. And the peratetnt survivors at the end of the term, divided am one them the whole accumulated sum. composed of their own payments and those of their unfortunate fellows, and the compound Interest thereon. It was the vory able and astute Henry li. Hyde who conceived the Idea of combining in one contract the accumulative and forfeiture feature? of th "tontine" with the benevolent and protec tive features of life Insurance, and put his Idea to practical ue In 18W. by Jaurvcninr for hb company the "tontine life policy." In the application for this policy th appttVant agreed to waive alt claim to dividend until the end of the tonjllne period usually SU years at which time the accumulated divi dends of the tontine ckim of that ytmr were t be divided among the persietent survivors of that ch. At the death of a member during the period th face value only ef the policy waa to be paid, and the dlvldenaa for faited to the survivors. If a member failed to pay premiums until te end of the period, all of both reeervt and clvidends would forfeited, and at th termi nation of the tontine period the prsstent sun Ivor? wouM receive their own aceumuhtt ed dividends and their pro 'rata each of the foifelturr of the unfortunates. The drastic forfeiture feature of the tontine p. "Icy were too gtaringly lnetuitaMe for It ti berime popular, and aflet a sbrt trial It was withdrawn ami the "seml-tontine" nub stttutcd. differing from the former mainly In allowing a pnld-up policy Ih event of a tapse In payments, but retaining nil proiirfons for forfeiture of dividends In event of either death or lapse during the tontine period. It a very kindly euphemism that treats a tontine ! accumulation as a "deferred dividend" onl. when It b in reality a deferred dividend, plus a heavy forfeiture of the intended protection of the widow and orphan.
