Li
Anti-Saloon League Hires
Youth to Visit Disorderly
Houses for Evidence.
H. L M'CABE'S STATEMENT
Prinks With Notorious AVomcn In
Ordcr to Secure Datatfor the
Crusade Against . Vice
'.y ,
Now in Progress.
SCVXDAL FOIXOWS IN WAKE OF
RAIDS.
Tho poller of drH-lns disorderly
women from all portions o the dtjr
Into the "vice quarter," prescribed as
"north of Burnsldc and east of Fifth
streets' has entangled the Lane ad
ministration, the Tollcc Department
and the Anti-Saloon League In a
scandal of startling proportions.
Acknowledging their inability to
handle the situation alone, the police
called upon State Superintendent Paul
Tinder, of tho Anti-Saloon League, for
a detective to do stool-pigeon work
for Inspector Bruin, and Kay and
White of the headquarters secret
service staff.
IT. L. lIcCa.be, a law student, aged
only 10 years, w&s assigned by Su
perintendent Rader. Inspector Bruin
and Acting Detectives Kay and White
to visit a disorderly house "to get
evidence." There he. a minor, him
self breaking the law by direction of
the officials, gave Anti-Saloon League
funds to women to purchase liquor,
and. at their invitation, drank his
portion of the liquor.
A scandal of startling: proportions, Involving-
the Lane administration, the
Anti-Saloon League and the local Police
Department, has developed because of the
policy of driving- disorderly women of the
city Into the "vice quarter." In order to
procure evidence against the Peerless sa
loon and the lodging-house of the same
name and to make way for a raid that
followed, a minor was sent to the dive, 210
Alder street, by the officials and pur
chased liquor for the women, afterwards
drinking with them at their Invitation.
Iiike Explosion of Bomb.
Like a bomb explosion these sensational
facts were brought out by Attorney James
Gleason when he began to cross-examine
H. li. McCabe, the mlnor-detectlve, during
the trials of four women arrested in tho
raid on the Peerless House and T. C.
Rosad, proprietor of the saloon, on the
ground floor. This occurred In the Mu
nicipal Court yesterday morning. After
the testimony was heard for both sides
the landlady of the place was fined 525 and
the others ?10 each, while Rosad will learn
his fate this morningt The -women -were
charged "with vagrancy and Rosad with
permitting a disorderly house to be run
In connection with his liquor establish
ment. All directly concerned in the scandal,
including Superintendent Rader. of the
Anti-Saloon League for Oregon; Rev. Clar
ence True "Wilson, pastor of Grace Meth
odist Episcopal Church and president of
the Anti-Saloon League for Oregon, par
tially deny responsibility for sending the
boy Into the disorderly house, but they
frankly admit that they assigned him to
work with Acting Detectives Kay and
White, and Kay himself detailed McCabe
to go to the Peerless and "get evidence."
That the amateur sleuth was a minor,
they declare, they did not know until he
himself swore to It on the -witness stand
In the Municipal Court yesterday.
Employed SIcCabc to Break Law.
Municipal Judge Cameron, Deputy City
Attorney Fitzgerald, James Gleason,
counsel for the defense, and the large
crowd of spectators were greatly sur
prised when McCabe announced himself
as a detective, employed by the Anti-Saloon
League, but when he answered a
query by stating his age as 19 years, all
were shocked. They thought there must
be some mistake; that the young man
was joking, or that they had misunder
stood him.
Attorney Gleason, after questioning Mc
Cabe regarding his visit to the Peerless
House, which was made last Wednesday
evening, stated that those who employed
the witness and permitted him to go into
a place to break the law and attempt to
get others to violate it were in poor busi
ness. McCabe Tells His Story.
McCabo swore that Acting Detective
Kay sent him to the Peerless House to
get evidence sufficient to -warrant a raid.
He said he went there and called for the
landlady, whom ho asked for a. room.
He made Inquiry, he said, regarding other
-women being there, and was assured he
j-ould have a room for the night for ?5.
Tho women, gathering about him. asked
him to "buy drinks, which he did, he said.
He swore that he gave one woman money
with which to purchase liquor. She went
out and soon returned with a tray, on
which -were the glasses. McCabe swore
that he drank port wine, and that he did
not know what the women drank. He
was not positive the liquor was pur
chased from the saloon below, but pre
sumed It was, he said. It was on cross
examination that it became known lie
was a minor, and that he was employed
by the Anti-Saloon League.
McCabe, who lives at 48 East Salmon
street, is a law student. He has worked
for the Anti-Saloon League here in the
capacity of a detective for a year, and
was sent to Pendleton to get evidence
against the gambling dens of that town,
which resulted in a great commotion.
Amenable to the Law.
Then, as in thlo case, he- broke the law
himself by visiting such places, and Is
amenable to the law and subject to in
dictment and prosecution, as arc also
those who permitted him to enter such
establishments, or who had anything to
do with sending him there. He swore yes
terday that he was paid $40 a month and
expenses to do detective -work for the
Anti-Saloon League, and -when asked who
directed him in his operations, said he
used his own judgment In his business and
in spending money.
"I accept the responsibility of assign
ing McCabe to -work with Acting Detec
tive Kay, but I had no Idea he was a
minor." said Superintendent Rader, of the
Anti-Saloon League. "I never thought to
ask him, but" supposed he was at least
23 years of age. He had been working
for the organization a long time, under
another superintendent, and I did not
think of such a thing as him being a
minor. The league had an offer from
two men. who said that if I could pro
vide a detective to assist Kay in his work
of clearing up the city, they would pay
his salary. That is how he -was paid. I
certainly am shocked at the outcome of
tlic case, and, while feeling that I
not rcsfionlMe for the matter. Assume
my share ef the hlame.
"At the time, he was acting under 4h
personal orders of Mr. Kay. That Mc
Cabo should purchase liquor, or associate
with the disorderly women of tho house.
I never thought of. for that was unneces
sary. We wanted simply lo ascertain
whether In that and certain other houses
women of the town congregated and
drank liquor, and whether or not they'
purchased liquor from the saloon below.
There are some places thRt wc wish
closed, and that was why wc started the
work."
Rev. Clarence True Wilson, when in
formed of the startling facts of the case,
stated that he had supposed McCabe was
more than '21 years of age," and" was
shocked by the knowledge that he -was- a
minor and that he acted In such a man-
ncr at the Peerless.. House. Personally,
said Rev. Mr. Wilson, he had nothing
whatever to do with sending McCabe out
to work as a detective.
Chief Grltzmachcr's Statement.
Acting Chief of Police Gritzmacher.
when asked to whom Acting Detective
Kay is responsible in his operations, said
he did not know; that Kay was a sort of
"free lance."
Mayor Lane denies that there is any
movement to drive disorderly women into
a "vice quarter," but the police, through
Acting Detectives Kay and White, are
making raids almost every night to ac
complish Just this object- Jn several In
stances, tho women they have brought
Into court on vagrancy charges, have
consented to move, but in tho case of the
Peerless House, the police suffered their'
first defeat; the women refuse, as yet, to
move.
Three -women arrested in a raid last
Sunday morning In the Winfleld House
agreed yesterday to move Into the "vice
quarter," and were discharged without
being fined.
RUN DOWN BY STREET-d
MR. AND 3LRS. MFLTOX XORK
VICTIMS OF CARELESSNESS.
Were in Buggy When' Oregon Water
Power Car Crashed Into
Their Vehicle.
Through the carelessness of a motorman
on the Oregon Water Power & Railway
Company, Mr. and Mrs. Milton York, liv
ing on the northwest corner of Bast
Eighth and Sherman streets, were run
into by a car while they were driving
home in a buggy Sunday night at 10:30
from the West Side, on the Madison
bridge. Both were severely bruised, and
Mrs. York is still confined to her home
from the effects of her injuries and the
shock resulting from the accident. Both
had a narrow escape from being killed.
Mr. York drove on the bridge along1 the
right, or south, side of the bridge, fol
lowed by a street-car rather closely. An
other car was approaching from the east
on the north side of the bridge, and hence
he could not turn out of the way of the
car that was coming up behind them, but
Mr. York was so sure that the motorman
would check his car that he at first pa!d
no attention to It, but Mrs. York saw that
it would strike the buggy, and so in
formed her husband.
Just before the car did plunge into the
buggy from the rear Mr. York turned the
horse suddenly toward the inside track,
which also turned the buggy partly to one
side, but ho could not get the vehicle out
of the way on account of the car ap
proaching from the cast. The rear car
then crashed Into the buggy, lifting it
partly up and crowding It forward for
about 25 feet, -wrecking it, and leaving Mr.
and Mrs. York fast In the wreckage. The
horse was thrown down, with his head
partly under the car, on the north-side
track, which had been stopped. Mr. and
Mrs. York were got out from the
wreck of the buggy. The horse, which
it was thought at first had been killed,
got on his feet and was not Injured. Mrs.
York was very severely hurt about her
back, but Mr. York escaped with but few
bruises. Mr. York said that he was
caught in a trap from which he could not
escape. It was pure carelessness, he
says, of the motorman in running into
the buggy from the rear. It was remark
able that he and his wife escaped with
their lives.
CLOSES JTS POOLROOMS
MILWATJKIE CLUB SAID TO BE
HEAVY LOSER.
Another Theory Is That It Is a
Ruse to Avoid Threatened
Prosecution.
Favorites, it is said, have accom
plished that which baffled Mayor
Lane, Captain Bruin and the Portland
police, as the poolrooms of the MI1
waukle Club have been closed. Suc
cessive and heavy winnings as a re
sult of the favorites coming- off vic
torious in the California races arc said
to have cost the backers of the 2311--waukle
Club not. less than 520,000
-within the last few months.
Last night no entries of the Cali
fornia races were posted about town
and inquiry at the Mllwaukie Club
elicited the information that the pool
rooms hud been discontinued and
would remain closed indefinitely. It
was stated, however, that the regular
frames at the club would be conducted
the same as before.
It is believed by many that the shut
down is only temporary. It is said that
the poolsellers hope to change their
luck by closing for a time and that
eventually the books will he reopened.
The Mllwaukie Club has been heav
ily patronized of late, so It is said, but
in spite of all the establishment lost
money. The regular games proved
profitable, but -what was made on them
was lost on the pool selling'.
Tho $20,000 lost by the backers of
the Mllwaukie Club does not Include
that which was expended in the pur
chase of the site and the erection of
the buildings. These two items alone
resulted in the expenditure of $16,000.
It is said by some that the closing-
of the club is simply a ruse attempted
in hopes to kill the case against Isaao
Gratton and John Cullison, which Is
pending: in the Circuit Court on the
charge of pool selling. Mr. Cullison Is
manager of the club and Mr. Gratton.
Is one of the heaviest backis. But it
is said that this had nothing to do
with the closing of. the poolrooms.
Jury Falls to Agree.
In the suit of A. A. Kadderly and about
20 others against the City of Portland,
resisting the payment of assessments for
the improvement of East Burnslde street.
tried In Judge Scars court, the Jury was
discharged yesterday morning because an
agreement could not he reached. The Jury
was locked up all night. The trial of the
case occupied a week's time. The cae
has been in court in various forms for
two years, and has been to the Supreme
Court and back twice. The contestants
contend that the work, on the street was
not well done, and that In some places
big rocks were used instead of gravel.
Ralph Dunlway, attorney for the plain
tiffs, caused about 50 large stones to he
brought to the Courthouse atu exhibited
to the Jury.

was arrested." swore Guy Holman, on the
witness stand in the Municipal Court yes
terday morning.
"How fast did you see him goT asked
-He West 26 Peel La 10 SecemU.'
Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald oC Pa
trolman Smith, the ares ting officer.
"He went TC feet in 10 seconds," re
plied the officer, . "I saw him go tearing
along as I was ringing In to the station,
and took -out my watch to time him."""
"Have you a stop-watch?" queried
General Charles M. Idlcman, counsel for
Holman.
"Just an ordinary watch," replied Pa
trolman Smith.
"Do you know anything about speed?"
asked Mr. Idlcman.
"A great deal," replied the officer. "You
pee, my father used to own a railroad
In Michigan."
"How long?" asked Idlcman.
"Six miles," answered the officer.
"And you ran what kind of trains
over Itfreight or express?"
"Not a cannonball express, but a log
ging train," said Mr. Smith. .
After a brief discussion. Judge Cameron
taxed up costs of to Holman, warning
him to be careful in future.
John Thompson, arrested for larceny,
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the
County Jail for ten months.
Andy Pecney, a morphine cater, was
sentenced to SO days In the County Jail.
Michael Miller, arrested on a charge of
stealing $350 from James Thompson, was
released yesterday because the prosecut
ing witness left the slate. Miller had
to serve ten days for contempt of court.
He used some profane language when ar

of the matter was It was only a youth on
the front platform puffing vigorously at
a cigarette. He was Ralph Collins, and
was arrested by Patrolman Thompson.
In court yesterday the young man had
a hard time explaining things to Judge
Cameron, and the outcome of the case
will not be known-until-this morning, as
It was continued until that time.
CARDS FOR COLONISTS.
Chamber of Commerce Will Distrib
ute Data or Incoming Trains.
The Chamber of Commerce Is having
printed 10.000 cards, which will be dis
tributed anions the colonists who
flocking to Portland en route to different
parts ox tne isortnwest. The cards will
be supplied to the agents of the railroads
leading into Portland, and will be dis
tributed by them among the prospective
settlers on the trains before Portland is
reached.
Upon the cards Is printed an imitation
to visit the Chamber of Commerce for
the purposes of obtaining Information re
garding the receures of the various sec
tions of the Northwest and to see the
permanent exhibit Already many of the
colonists who are now in Portland have
called at the headquarters of the Chamber
of Commerce and obtained information.
They nearly all appear to be persons of
means who did well In the East and the
Middle Western States, but came to Ore

bettering themselves. Eastern Oregon and
Eastern Washington. Southern Oregon
