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

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,

essential to the safety of train hands as
they enable countings to be made without
requiring trainmen to go between the
cars.

can be no doubt of it. Buster's progenitor

He said he was by profession a cook and

telephoned to n friend, using his -stuge

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

Judge Frazer continued the case for

A pathetic jeene wat enacted In the

when Frank Level was placed on trial
on a charge of vagrancy. The father,

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.

and the father tottered from the room

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.

to grant this. Acting Detective Kny. who I
made the arrest, also wished a post none- ',

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

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

a considerable portion of the protection of de

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

LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE ITS
OWN WAY.
Ho Not Try to Drive nnd I-orrr It to Work
When It I Not Ab! or You Will
Suffer All the .More.
You cannot trenfyour stomach as wm
men treat a balky horse; fore, drie or
even starve It into doing work at whioh w
rebels. The stomach is a patient ivl
faithful seivant. and will stand mu.-n
abuse nnd ili-treatmnt before It "balk--
but w.m It does yoa had better go slow
with It nnu not attempt to make it wurs,
Some people have the mistaken klea th.it
they can make their stomachs work by
starvw.g themselws. They might cure th
stomach that way, but it would take ?o
long that they would have no use fr x
stomach when they got through. The s i
slbte way out of the difficulty is to let the
stomach rest if it wants to and employ a
substitute to do its work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do U.
work of your st it.vc h for you and dig- st
your icod Just as your stomach nseil !-
when it was well. You can prove this In
putting your food in a glass jar with on
of tie tablets and sufficient water an 1
you whl see the food digested in just th"
same time as the digestive tluids of i:
stomach would do It. That will satisfy
your mind. Now. to satisfy both your
mind and body, take oih? of Stuart's 1.
pepski Tablets after eatlfis eat all and
what you want ami you will feel In -u
mind that your food is being digested in -cause
you will feel no dteturbanve o
weight In your stomach: in fact, you vil"
forget all about having a stomach, jus"
as you did when you were a healthy b-j
or girl.
Stuart" Dyspepsia Tablets act In a nn
ural way because they contain only tt'e
natural elements of the gastric juices and
other digestive Iluids of th stomach l
mnkes :m difference what condition the
stomach iy in, they go right ahead of th :r
own acvurd ami do their work. Th- y
Know their business and surrounding con
ditions k not influence them in the lc-a
They thus relieve the weak stomach of .;!
Its burdens ami give It its much-needed
rst and permit it to become strong anI
healthy.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all tlitiggists at SO cents a box. They
are so well known and their populnrit Is
so great that a druggist would as soon
think of being out of alcohol or quinine ai
of them. In fact, physicians are prescrib
ing thtm all over the land, and if yot.
own d'-ctor Is real honest with you. he will
tell you frankly that there Is nothing on
wirth so good for dyspepsia as Stuart 3
Dspepsin Tablets.
Burden
There arc times when life
seems a burden when you arc
tired, worn-out, have dull pains
in the head and a continual
feeling- of uneasiness. You
have no appetite, and your di
gestion is poor: your sleep
broken, and you get no rest.
Little annoyances seem great
mountains of trouble, and you
are blue, melancholy and given
over to gloom3r forebodings.
This means low vitality ex
hausted brain nerves.
For this 'condition Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine is a spe
cific ; it is a food for the nerves.
It builds up the nervous sys
tem, and restores lost energy.
Try it to-day and see if your
sleep 'is not sound-and refresh
ing, and the morrow brighter
and more hopeful..
"I am glad to announce that T have
recovered my health, as far as my
advanced ago will permit, as I am S3
years old. My case was very bad;
my nerves were all shattered. I suf
fered much pnln and coldness; was so
weak and felt so sad and lonely and
heart-broken. When I commenced
taking- Dr. Miles' Remedies I was com
pletely prostrated. I have taken the
RstoratfVe Nervine. Heart Cure anil
ICervo and Liver Pills, and they cured
me." MRS. E. C. BAWLBY.
