THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1905. 11 TAKE TROUSERS N San Francisco Detective Is a Victim of Portland Crooks. ROB ROOM IN HIS" ABSENCE E. A. Bnrgo Also Loses His Star and His Pistol and Reports the Thefts to. the Local Police Department. Portland thieves liave outwittod a San Francisco detbetivy, have robbed Mm of his revolver, handcuffs, his Rtnr and a pair of trousers and have pro i ided another mystery for solution by Captain Bruin and his staff of sleuths. Detective E. A. Bargo is the indi vidual who went up against the persis tent Portland crooks, and at the pres ent time Is the loser. He has been in the city but a brief time, having come hp from the Golden State metropolis on business. Ho roomed at 207 Fourth str et . Last Saturday afternoon, having oc casion to leavo his room for a time. Detective Bargo went out and, upon Ills return found that someone had en tered in his absence and stolen his goods. Most humiliating of all other features of the case, was tho fact that his official badge o authority and his fine, late-model handcuffs were "sneaked" too. What He Found Missing. Thorough Investigation of his room, revealed to the startled detective the loss of his star, his handcuffs, a plr of new trousers and other minor ar ticles. After reflection he determined to do what other unfortunate persons have done on numerous occasions re port to the police. However, publicity tnust be avoided, ho thought, above all things. He finally decided, as the case was pretty urgent and he must at least regain possession of his star, he would take chances with reporters and lay his troubles before the authorities. Goes to Captain Bruin. Then Bargo betook himself to pollco headquarters, where he reported to Captain of Detectives Bruin. All the little details wore given, so that. If possible, tho staff might lay some sort of trap for the robber or robbers and effect a capture. It was speclflod that strict secrecy should be maintained, and nothing should be given out to the press concerning the affair. Saturday afternoon wore away, and night followed; no trace of the thieves or plunder. Sunday came and went, likewise Monday; still no solution of the mystery. At the hour of going to press this morning, no developments wero reported, except an official deniel by Captain Bruin that any robbery had ever been reported, or that such a man as Bargo ever was heard of by tho police. FOR THANKSGIVING EVE COMMERCIAL CLUB "WILL GIVE ENTERTAINMENT. Proposes to Outdo Any Previous Effort of the Kind Given by the Members. The committee in charge of the recop tion to be hold at the parlors of the Com mercial Club, tomorrow evening. Thanks giving eve. Is seeking to make this a memorable event in the history of Ihe club. Thp club has recently acquired a collection of art treasures which is said to be among the finest in the Northwest, and the members of the organization are proud of the exhibit. It is for the pur pose of displaying this exhibit to the pub lic that the reception Is to be given. Among the art treasures now owned and on exhibition at the club are three pieces of statuary In bronze by Boyle, the Amer ican artist who won distinction at the S Louis exposition, and also at the Paris museum of art, two of which are entitled "The Indian Hunter" and "The Stone Age in America," which are excellent studies; a statue entitled "The Taming of the "NMId Horse." by Borglun; a piece In white Italian marble entitled "The Fisher Boys," which is greatly admired; "Love's Protestations."

P Thompson fountain that adorns the P!aza block in this city, and several other valjable paintings by well-known artists. The Commercial Club has Just had its commodlous quarters thoroughly renova ted and refurnished, and is bent on mak ing an effort to eclipse any entertainment of the past tomorrow evening. The en tertainment includes music, dancing and refreshments. The rooms will be deco rated with flowers. The Board, o: Governors of the Portland Commercial Club had a very Interesting jneeting at their luncheon yesterday, con sidering a number of matters of import ance and receiving a large number of new members.

Mrs. Lillian Lefevre, whose "husband, E. E. Lefevre, is seeking to obtain a divorce from her, was too ill to appear in the State Circuit Court yesterday morning, when the case was set for trial. Charles F. Lord, attorney for Mrs. Lefevre, made this statement to Judge Frazer yesterday, and Honry E. McGinn, counsel on the op posing side, did not object to a postpone ment. Mrs. Lefevre contests tho suit. They were married In June. 1903. The hus band. In his complaint, charges his wlfo with running around at late hours and re fusing to toll him concerning her where abouts. "This is a sad case." said Mr. Lord, In moving for a continuance. "Some weeks ago hor allowance was cut off. and she was unable to secure fuel and light and food for herself and baby boy. At last she was permitted to room upstairs ovor a shop on Jackson street, tho building be ing owned, I am told, by a relative of her husband. Recently, she was allowed a plltance of $4.50 a week. The attending physician Informs me It will be several days before she Is able to leavo hor bed." SEEKS TO OUST PATROLMAN ISAKSON DEMANDS THE POSITION. Dcclnrcs That He Passed a Better Examination for the Captaincy Than Present Inspector. Oscar F. Isnkson, a patrolman In the Police Department, took the civil service examination for a captaincy at the same time Patrick Bruin did. Isakson says he received a higher percentage of credits than any of his competitors, and. notwith standing this fact, Bruin was given a captain's position. Isakson is still hold ing down a beat as a regular patrolman. He thinks this Is unfair. He wants Bruin's place, and intends to appeal to the courts and ask for the romoval of the new captain whoso citizenship and many other things are questioned. Isakson. however, is not disputing the right of Bruin to bo captain because of the numer ous charges of a political nature brought against him, but simply because he thinks he himsolf could fill the position with credit, and that the result of the civil service examination cntltlos him to the place. Isakson has been a member of the Po lice Department for 12 years. He has em ployed H! B. Nicholas and Newton McCoy, attorneys, both of whom are Democrats, to present the case in the. State Circuit Court, and demand that Brulri be ousted. The attorneys have prepared a com plaint which they will fille, containing the following recital: That Patrick Bruin unlawfully usurps the office of captain of police; that Oscar F. Isakson has acted as captain of police, has passed the civil service examination for the office of sergeant and pollco cap tain; that he took the civil service exam ination for captain of police October 24 and 25. in the office of the Civil Service Commission, and correctly answered all questions, and was entitled to the hlghost marking and grading. Wherefore he asks Judgment ousting Patrick Bruin from the office of canialn of police and Installing him (Oscar F. Isakson) in the position. The legality of Captain Bruin's appoint ment Is also to be Investigated at the Council meeting at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Will Prosecute Editors. C. E. S. Wood has been engaged as spe cial counsel to prosecute A. E. Korn and Dr. Paul J. A. Semler. on the charge of attempting to extort 5590 from the Meier & Frank Company. Yesterday afternoon the accused were arraigned before Judge Frazer. They were represented by John Ditchburn. attorney, and Gus C. Moser. Deputy District Attorney, appeared for the state. Ball was fixed at $1000 In each case. Dr. Semler furnished a bond signed by his wife and Theodore Trauman. Kern's bond was signed by C. A. Blgolow, of W. H. Markoll & Co.. and Otto Doehr Ing. a llnotypcr, employed on the Deutsche Zoitung. The defendants were granted time until Thursday to plead. Wife Asks , for Divorce. Louise Easton has sued William M. Eas ton for a divorce because of desertion. She alleges in hor complaint that he went to the City of Mexico In 1S9L and she has received no answers to letters mailed to him at that address. She says she has ascertained that he goes under an assumed name. In 1B93 Easton was con victed of a criminal charge and sentenced to a term of one year In the penltontiary. The litigants were married In 1890, and have no children. Sentenced to Penitentiary. Richard Bullock. convicto4 on November 10, of stealing a watch and other artloles from A. L. Lewis, was sentenced to IS months in the penitentiary yosterday by Judge Cleland. Thomas Dixon, Jointly In dicted with Bullock, who turned state's evidence, was discharged from custody.- Desertion Ground for Action. Josie L. Mann has sued Oron P. Mann for a divorce. In the State Circuit Court, because of desertion. They were married in 1SSS, in Wisconsin, and have one child, which, is with the mother. Snow Storm Is Predicted. District Forecaster Beals predicts snow today, and gives fair warning to prepare for a cold spell. Atmospheric conditions in surrounding districts arc such as to add strength to the belief that Mr. Beals knows whereof he speaks, heavy snow having fallen In the eastern parts of Ore gon and Washington, and In Idaho and Northern Utah, the hills and vales have been robed In white for the past 24 hours or more. Nor th easterly winds are predictx ed to send a chill over the entire western part of the state, including Portland and .he Willamette Valley, and as fair weath er Is traveling hand-in-hand with the" cold wave, the snow may remain long onough to cause some pleasure, as .well as discomfiture.

GROWERS NOT UNIT Hopmen Divided on Question of Half Acreage.- SOME ARE DISCOURAGED Others Believe Neglect of Cultivation Would Be Short-Sighted Policy. Price May Be High Next .Year. Hopgrowors of this state are much, In terested la the question that has been raised of a reduction of acreage They are not all In favor of such a procedure and. in fact, many of them openly declare for an increase rather than a cutting down of acreage, on tho ground that a low priced year ls the time to prepare for high-priced years that will follow. But those who arc discouraged by the low prices now prevailing sec no remedy but in a scaling down in the production of this state. The question will probably be taken up and discussed fully at the liopgrowors' meeting that will be held at Salem next month. Advocate Smaller Acreage. Tho advocates of a reduction of acre age declare that results can only be at tained by a thorough co-operation on the part of all the growers of the state. A scheme for bringing about this co-operation was suggested by a Eugene grower In a letter printed in The Oregonlan. No vember 21. The opponents of tho Idea, on the other hand, point out obstacles that they say are practically Insurmountable. They say that the Chinese and Japanese growers, who are economical cultivators, and who control much of the best acre age in the state, cannot be lined up to any such agreement. Furthermore, there are many large growers who contract tholr hops for a term of years and those will .hardly abandon any of their acreage. Though they received only IS cents last year when their neighbors were selling for 30 cents, they are entirely satisfied with the same cents now in the present condition of the market. Sny Quality, Not Quantity. Even If the limit of Oregon's production could be placed at one-half of what it was this year, it would avail little, as tho yield of this state, large as It is. cuts but small figure In the total crop of tho world. In quantity Its showing Is but a small factor, though In quality It can be made a most Important one. This perfec tion of quality is what the friends of "the hop Industry here think the Oregon grow ers should strive for. If England should have a partial crop failure next year, as Is likely to happen after hor bounteous harvest this season, and if prices should again go soaring, the Oregon man who neglected to cultivate his hopyard would wish he had dono so. SUHVTVAL OF THE FITTEST. No General Agreement to Reduce Acreage Probable. SAIVBMNev. 27. (Special.) HopKrower et this vicinity arc quite generally of the opinion that future market conditions should be Im proved by limitation upon the production, but there are not many who think sttch a movement practicable. This Idea wan ad vanced and frtroncly urged nearly seven years ago by f. J. Ottenbelmer. one of the most auocesfful growers et this vicinity.- In 1SH Mr. O'.tcnhelmer urged the newly organized Hopcrowera' Association to adopt feme plan ef limiting the production, for the low prices were manifestly due largely to evernipply. In speaking of the matter today ilr. Otteaheimer Hays he 1b still of the ramc opinion and will co-opeerate In any plan with that end In view. If an association can be formed with 00 per cent of the growers as members he will go into It and agree with the ethers to reduce his acreage 25 per cent. Mr. Ottenbelmer doubtu, however, whether an association can be formed upon such a plan, for It would be difficult to get the growers to make the agreement and fulfill it. He believes that the problem of production must be salved by the principle of the sur vival ef the fittest. Those who have poor bop land and. therefore, raise smalt crops, will be forced to abandon this Industry. Those who are poor managers or who are deeply In debt will be compelled to drop out. Those who make bopgrowlng profitable will remain and thun the acreage will be reduced. Mr. Ottenbelmer thicks the who have Just set out new yards should ptow tbem up. If they have merely set out the root and have net gone to the expense of erecting IpilMlngt. putting up poles, trellis, etc. their expense has been comparatively small. Men wfeo are In this situation. Mr. Ottenbelmer thinks, will be wle to quit the Industry now. while their Investment Is small and they have not much tO lOSC. t John Coleman, a well-known and sueees ful hopgrower south of Salem, does not be lieve any good would be accomplished by an attempt to organize the growers for the pur pose of limiting production. He says suofa a movement could not be made a success. He believes the production wilt be reduced, but It will be by the usual processes. The growers who cannot make bopgrowlng pay will plow up their yards. This. "he thinks, will be the solution of the problem. A. X. Gilbert, of Gilbert & Pattersoa. who own several bopyardn near Salem and who have made money every year raising bop?, says that he does not believe the plan pro posed for reducing the hop' acreage Is prac ticable. "In the flr-rt. place, I do not believe It Is good buslaess policy. If Ik) per cent of the growers agreed to cut their acreage 25 per cent. I do net think we would go Into It. We have good yards and have managed them so as to make them pay all the time. It does not seem to me to be wise, from an economic standpoint, for a man who under stands bopgrowlng to reduce bis acreage so that the Industry will be profitable for the man who Is raising bc-pn on land net suited to that crop or who does not understand his business. The man who cannot make hoo growlng pay should quit that occupation and take up 63tne other. In that way the acreage will be. reduced. Possibly we might go Into an organization for the purpose of reducing acreage, but my first Impression Is that we would not. SOME KEMEDY NEEDED. Ine County Growers Believe la Limiting the Production. EUGENE. Or., Nov. 27. (Special.) The hopgrowers of Lane County, as a rule, seem to be favorable to the movement looking to the limiting of the production. But In this matter they are none of them anxious to go Into the game arter the style of th proverbial snlpehunter In the college. They all agree that unless something Is dene to limit th production there will be such a surplus that It will be Impossible to expect a living price. John Thornsbury says: "The growers will have to get together or they will all have to go Into bankruptcy If they keep on raising hops. It is only a matter of time. If every grower goes ahead with the present acreage. In this state and elsewhere, there will be such an overproduction that the dealers will get what they want almost at their own figures. I have no plan In mind whereby the matter could be bandied, but I think If the growers would get together at a general meeting they might be able to come to an understanding." T. D. Linton says: I don't see how we are to expect better conditions at any time for several years. It Is a hard thing to get the growers together. They do not pull to gether as they should. I have no plan In mind." .Stephen Smeed says: "The growers- should organise and work together.

I do not know how It can be done best, but think they might form a corpora tion, the growers each to hold stock, accord ing to their output." George Dorrls says: "Unless we get to gether we may as well make up our minds to continue to give away our hops. The growers ought to combine their Interests, form an Incorporated company. If necessary, and control the output- By limiting the pro duction the price can be maintained so that a man can make a living, but If we all go on at the present' rate there Is nothing lu It for any of us. I think the growers ought to get together In a general meeting at Salem and devise a plan which will be satisfactory to all." BELIEVE IN MOKE ACREAGE. Clackamas County Growers 1'avor Setting Out Mere Yards. OREGON CITY, Or.. Xor. 27. Special.) Clackamas County hopgrowem continue to hold their 1005 crop, entirely disregarding the of fers of 9 and 10 cents that have been made for their holdings. More than 400 bales of this year's crop are being stored at the Ore gon Water Power & Railway Company's freight drsot In thin cltr. Instead of a proposed reduction In the acre age In this county, the sentiment of growers generally favors the setting out of additional yard. In co-operation of the producers la placed the hopes of the growers for success fully wrestling with market conditions In the future. "We are planning to plant an additional acreage of bops Instead of plowing up any of our planted acreage." said D. K. Bill, who Is In charge of the Dr. NlchoW hopyards near this city, and this property Is one of the beat In the county for the raising ef hopn. "Co operation." says Mr. Bill. "Is the only sal vation of the grower In competing with cx lttlnr conditions with reference to the bop market. In this way an organization of the growem can station a personal representative at New York where the Oregon crop can be disposed of at satisfactory prices to the grower. The sale of our holdings through such an agent would net satisfactory returns." NO REDUCTION IN FOLK COUNTY. Oregon Growers Should Drive England and Germany Out of the Business. DALLAS. Or.. Nov. 27. Speclal. The pro posed plan to reduce the cultivated hop acre age docs not find favor among the growers of the Dallas district. The yards In this dis trict are small, ranging In size from JO to 30 seres, and no material reduction in the Indi vidual acreage !a possible If the fanners are to continue In the business. While all the growers say they would favor any co-operative movement having for Its object the betterment of existing conditions, none Is able to outline a plan of work or to offer any suggestions looking to effective organization. The views of the following growers may be said fairly to represent the general sentiment In the Dal las district: J. M. Sears The Individual acreage around Dallas is too small to be cut down. The pro posed reduction plan might work In yards of 100 acres or over, but It would not be prac ticable In this district. It In already a diffi cult matter to obtain hired help In the small yards, and It these yards were cut down It would be almost Impossible te get plekem. While I am In hearty sympathy with any movement for co-operation among growers, I do not believe that effective organization will ever be reached. K. C. Klrkpatrlck Do not look for any ma terial reduction in acreage in Polk County, but anticipate light cultivation. All talk of cutting down the bop acreage on the Pacific Coast is exceedingly harmful, as It will have j a tendency to cause the English and German growers to Inmuv their acreage. The only j practical solution of the hop question on this j coast Is thorough cultivation, clean picking j and the reduction of strletlv choice coodA I If this plan Is steadily pursued the Pacific Coast grower will eventually drive England and Germany out of the growing business. We can raise hop for 7 cent; the foreign grower cannot raise them for less than 17 cents. Why. then, do we let the foreigner drive us out of business when we should be doing the driving? The Oregon growers should not be discouraged, even If they are obliged to carry on the Industry at a. loss tor a few years. With England and Germany removed from competition, and a rapidly growing mar. ket Tor bore- In all the countries of the Ori ent, there will not be enough hop land on the Pacific Coast to produce the needed supply. Dr. A'. Flak & Sons We would certainly favr any practical plan of co-operation among grower, but doubt It It will be 'possible to effect an organization that will hold them to gether. We shall not reduce our acreage next year, but will cultivate light. We hear no talk of a reduction of acreage among the growers In Northern Polk County. R. E. Williams I believe It Is safe to esti mate that next year's crop In Polk County will be at least 20 per cent less than the average output. This deer earn will not be caused so much by reduced acreage as by llxht cultivation. When a farmer sees a prospec tive market of only 7 or 8 cents he employs methods of cultivation vastly different from those employed in raising a 30-cent hop. I shall heartily approve any co-operative move ment among growers to obtain better prices. I believe a eo-openUlve organization eouhl be made effective if some man In whom the grow ers have confidence were choen to lead It. WILL NOT PLOW UP. Woodburn Growers Believe Next Year's Mar ket Will Be a Good One. WOODBURN. Or.. Nov. 27. (Special.) Not withstanding the low price ef hops at the present time, the hopgrowers of this section' do not feel discouraged to the extent of plow ing up yardH and reduction of cultivation. A few are even putting out new yards. There may be a very few exceptions, but nearly all look forward to next year's market being more encouraging than this seoaon -thus far. A number are very confident that wVtea will stiffen considerably before many days. Art Exhibit Open to Public. During this week the galleries of the Portland Art Association. Fifth and Taylor; streets, are open to the public, both afternoon and evening, with free admission. The special exhibits are the loan collection of Japanese prints and the annual exhibition of the Port land Camera Club. The building will be closed the morning of Thanksgiving day but will be open both afternoon and evening. On other mornings from 9 to 12 the usual admission will ba charged. The Camera Club's exhibit cannot be seen In the morning, but will open dally at 2 o'clock. Judge Hunt to Try Hermann. Judge William H. Hunt, of the District of Montana, will preside- over the trial of Blnger Hermann whon that case la brought up In the United States Court here. ' It is probable that Judge C. E. Wolverton will go to Montana to take enreof the: business In Judge Hunt's dis trict" while the latter Is at work In Port land. This. In brief, was the statement of Judge W. B. Gilbert, of the United States Circuit Court, made yesterday afternoon. Judge "Wolverton received his commis sion yesterday morning, and this morn ing will consult with Judge Gilbert about the timo of taking his oath as District Judge. It is not thought, however, that he will take his place on the Federal bench until after he has ren dered his decision upon those cases In the Supreme Court which have been argued before him. To do this will require, It Is thought, some little time, so that it la probable that Judge Wolverton will not take his oath until after his confirmation by the United States Senate.

One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor.
