THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1906. TS TO E Three Shiftless Men Sternly Rebuked by Judge Cameron. FOUND IN THE NORTH END Jiecord of a Day in the 31unlclpal Court With Punishments Meted Out to Petty Offcnd " crs There. SIUFTLESSNESS PERSONIFIED. "I worked In Tacoma and made $14 during December," said Martin Lamb to Judge Cameron. "I am 'broke' now." "I have been in Portland a few days, and wait In the. Burnslde Exchange saloon because I wanted free soup," was what J. Fitzgerald said. "I shoreled coal from Roy. Wash., to Portland to pay my was, and I asked for money hero to get a bite to eat." said M. F. Moore. Judge Cameron Lectures. The thr-e men quoted were among many other vn grants picked up In the North End by the police Thursday night. Judge Cameron lectured each one of. them, telling them they ought to be ashamed of themnelves to be roaming about from place to place, having no money or decent clothing and no boarding-house- when work was to be had at good wages almost any place. Proprietors of the Burnnlde Exchange. ;235 Bunudde street, narrowly escaped ar ;rest yesterday mornlnp, when four young men swore In the Municipal Court that they were, frequenters of the resort. ' which Is one of three North End dives Ijiow under the police ban. Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald was about to Issue warrants, but decided to wait. There was no evidence that any of the prisoners liad purchased drinks In the place. Patrolman Galbraith and Acting Detec tives Kay and Jones rounded up a dozen tough characters Thursday night, all of whom were before Judge Cameron on vagrancy charges yesterday. Never did a more shiftless crowd face His Honor. Not one wore clean or neat clothing, not one was cleanly In appearance and all renem "bled the cheapest and toughest element of hobodom. Judge Cameron was particularly dis gusted with MarXln Lamb, aged 23, and hailing from Tacoma, according to his frtory. He was .pressed for some history regarding his recent movements, and faid he worked through December in Ta coma and earned Jl-S. "Do yoi think $14 is enough for a month's work?" anked Judge Cameron. "Well, it helps some," replied Lamb. "It is disgusting to see a man like you," said Judge Cameron, as he stonily faced Lamb. "Your clothing Is dirty and you are dirty; you have no money, no am bition to get any. There Is- work all around, but It Is evident you do not desire to run Into any of it. If we had a rockpile. I would send you to work on it for 90 days, but we have none. A3 wo cannot use you here, and you will not work If permitted to remain, I will give you two hours in which to leave Portland, and If you are found here after that, you will have to serve 90 days in jail." That finished Lamb, and he lost jio time escaping. J. Fitzgerald was another type of hobo exceedingly displeasing to Judge Cam eron. He was only 19 years old, had been hanging around the Burnsidc Exchange several days, and was so shiftless that ho ;leaned against a table while talking. He said he had been here a few days, seeing about work, but had found none; he had 110 money, and dropped into the saloon to get some free soup. "I guess you haven't made as much money as Lamb did in the past month," suggested Judge Cameron. "I have made some," replied Fitzgerald. "Why do you not Join the Army, or "Navy?" asked Judge Cameron. "You fel lows could make more money In either branch of the service than you make now, and besides keep looking respectable. The only thing to do with you is to make you leave town at once. Don't linger around here, or I will Impose a heavy sentence if you como in again." M. F. Moore was older than Lamb and Fitzgerald. He shoveled coal for .a fire man from Roy, Wash., to Portland for his passage. After reaching here, he wan dered to South Portland, where he called at the home of Polceman Mike Llllls for money. He asked for 25 cents, saying he -was hungry. Llllls, who has to pay. gas bills, was in no mood to accommodate Moore, and sent him to jail. Inasmuch as Llllls said he found finger prints on the front windows of his home, and footprints in the earth underneath, and as there was a considerable quantity of valuable silverware on a table within, Moore was held for further investigation. In explanation of how he came to have so much silverware, Llllls said he had just "been married, and received many presents. It was his suspicion that Mooro was prowling for these goods. B. F. Jones placed the muzzle of a re volver to the head of Charles Asper In tne latter's home, Seventeenth and North rup, late Wednesday night, and said he would "blow his head off," but when the weapon-wlelder was arraigned in court, yesterday morning, on a charge of assault with a. dangerous weapon, Asper swore that he knew nothing about the matter, as he was too drunk. The arrest was made by Patrolman Thompson, of the second relief, who chanced to pass thehouse the night of the trouble, and was directed to the scene by a stranger who had overheard the quarrel that was in progress. Although Asper could recall nothing of the affair. Judge Cameron fined Jones 515. the testimony of Patrolman Thompson being sufficient to convict. The charge of highway rotibery against Thomas Russell, Jr., probably will never be pressed. Paul C Ayelsworth, the com plaining witness, is- In California, and it is doubtful if he will return to Portland to press the case against the young man he swears sandbagged him In the yards of the Terminal Railway Company recent ly. The case has been continued repeated ly, and yesterday morning was again set ahead, this time for January 10. It is be lieved that Ayelsworth will fail to appear, and that the prosecution will cease. Check for California Excursion. Tom Richardson, manager of the Port land Commercial Club, yesterday sent to the city ticket office of the Southern Pa cific a check for $4131. It was sent In pay ment of the reservations made by those who will attend the excursion of . the ORDERS N TOWN Oregon business men to California. All of the berths in the Pullmans have been taken up and a doccn or more persons are on, the waiting; Het. The positive statement has been made that no addi tional cars will be placed on the train, as more persons would necessitate the train being divided into two' sections. HEARD IN THE ROTUNDAS FertMcattos ef Tf&Hfax Discussed by Travelers From That City. "H ALT FAX, N. S is one of the'most formidable fortresses in the world. and I believe It would be impossible for a besieging army to capture It other than by means of starving out the garrison," said Louis Archibald, a merchant of Hal ifax, at the Imperial, Hotel, yesterday afternoon. "Halifax itself is a town of about 60,000 Inhabitants, and it is sur rounded In all directions by mighty forts, in which are mounted the most modern cannon. As a citadel, Halifax is second to Gibraltar only. "Halifax has one of the finest harbors In the world, the entrances of which arc protected by several large forts several miles from the town proper. Close to the city Is another fort on an Island in the middle of the harbor, Then rising out of the very middle of the town is an immense hill, on which stands still another fort. With the exception of the fortifications on the top, the hill Is vacant. The town entirely surrounds It. In the fortifications are mounted dozens of disappearing can nons, which can shoot miles and miles. Even should an army capture the forts surrounding the city and the entrances to ,the harbors, the defenders on top of the hill could hold out for many months. The iruns are so high that they can sweep the country for miles around. "The garrison is composed exclusively of Canadians, and there are practically no more regular British soldiers in Can ada. Most of them have been taken back to England and the Canadian troops left in charge. The Canadians make splendid soldiers, and the English place great re liance in them." C6f NCE a freighter, always a freight KJ er." Among the old-time plains men of the West it Is often remarked that If a man becomes a freighter he will never change his occupation. Men who follow this business say they never knew a freighter to quit and take up some other occupation who -did not eventually return to his horses and his wagons. They cite Instances of men who have become wealthy and independent still working out their existence as freighters. "Once a traveling man, always a trav eling man." This saying does not always hold true, but It does In tne case of Billy Meek, of Denver, one of the best-known "drummers" In the West. Billy Meek is wealthy, having made several fortunes through mining Investments In Colorado, but he will not give up the road. It Is :a!d that his Income from his mines Is far greater than that of his salary. But for many years was a traveling man, and he has acquired dozens of friends In nearly every town on the Coast. It Is said that he tried to give the busi ness up once, but when he had been away Irom his old customers and friends he be came restless and once more took up the grip. His greatest pleasure In life, it Is said. Is in' selling goods, and he becomes as jubilant as a schoolboy at the close of school when he makes a -big sale. Mr. Meek Is now In Portland. He comes here several times a year, and any night now can be seen in the lobby of the Hotel Portland, with a crowd of his friends around him. BRIEF TELEGRAPHIC NEWS years old; her daughter.
