By an m1 most unanimous vote, tho
Mn$ors Executive Board, late yesterday
nfternuyn, decided to adopt summary
awesuroR with the management of tho
Alwquam Grand Theater, and Issued In
wrwcllons to tho police department to
tiopo the place without delay. This will
probably be done today unless there is
iwgal interference from J. Thorburn Ross,
rtgent for the owner, who may sue out a
writ of injunction.
The action of the Executive Hoard came
ax a climax to the report from Chief
Campbell that the Title Guarantee &
Trust Company, owners of the theater,
bad failed to comply with the recommen
dations of a .special committee appointed
hy Mayor Lane about three months ago
Ho investigate the status of all local play
bousos from the standpoint of public safe
ty. Say Owners Ignore Order.
Nearly all the theaters complied with
the- committee's instructions, but it is
dimmed the owners of the Marquam Grand
Iwvo been notoriously remiss In that rc
tfpeet. At the last meeting of the Exec
utive Board, two weks ago. Chief Camp
41 and Fire Marshal Roberts made a joint
report relative to tho matter, in the course
of which li whk set forth that the follow
ing recommendations had not been com
plied with:
"Straighten fire-escape stairs on east
and wt sides so that thev lead directly
to the ground without turns; dean out and
keep clean all alleyways: provide fire-escape
stairs and standplpe on Alder-stroet
sides; make all shutters on theater build
ing, west and east sides, standard; pro
vide new stage exit from stago on Alder

remove posts from main exit and substl
tute folding doors: provide fire escape
from roof of Marquam building to roof of
theater: enlurge stairway leading to flv
gnnory; install automatic fire-alarm
Referred to Cily Attorney.
At that time the matter was referred to
City Attorney McNary. with instructions
take immediate steps to compel an
oheyance of the board's mandate. In a
letter received by the City Attornev from
J. J horburn Ross, read before the meet-

he eourts had already ruled that the
S.nnn rS f a i,ay'ou8e could not be
Sit. , u "y prosecuted '-' non-coinpliance
lth the recommendations, hence the onlv
measure of relief existed In the right of
the city to close the house.
Causes Decisive Action.
The announcement of Mr McNarv
eoupled with Chief Campbell' statement!
that the evils complained of were still in
evidence, produced a decided sensation
among members of the board
John .Montag insisted that "the owners
of the show house were merely sparring
for time and that the legal Issues involv
ing the title might not be decided in
months or years. He felt that thev
ought to be made to either comply with
the ordinances or close up. made
Pantages comply with the law," said he
"and I can see no sense in making Ush
out of one and fowl out of the other"
Replying to Mr. Sabln's Inquiry, Mr Mc
Nary stated that there were ordinances
providing that buildings could not be
used for certain purposes and that he
thought the board had authority to close
the theater.
Mayor Lane "Yes. under police author
ity, there is no question about that. The
.case Is still before the Supreme Court"
he continued." but In the meantime they
go on collecting rent for tho theater.
The court proceedings do not prevent
them from doing that. They are un
dbnbtedly operating an unsafe theater. I
and ttfe whole question Is just this: The
theater Is being run In defiance to' the
law, and it is our duty to enforce the
law."
"Wants Xo Discrimination.
.Mr. Greene did not think it was fair
lor the board to make little theaters like
Pantages obey the law and shut Its eyes
to what -was going on at the Marquam.
Montag moved that the owners be given
"SO days in which to make repairs under
penalty of being closed up.
Sabln advised captious procedure, but
upon assurances from the Fire Chief that
"the committee had found a deplorable
state of affairs at the theater, Sabln -was
willing to take summary action at once.
"With the stairs and exits In their
present condition," asked Mr. Greene,
"and in case of an alarm of Are or any
sudden commotion In the house, would
tho public be In danger?"
Chief Campbell "Yes; that -was -what,
caused, -the fearful -loss of- life at the
Iroquois theater in Chicago." Campbell
pronounced the building unsafe, and sug
gested that the board visit the theater
and see for itself.
There was a general chorus of voices
in favor of closing the theater without
delay, Cogswell, Flelschner. Greene and
Sabln being especially pronounced in their
views on the subject, and on Cogswell's
motion it was so ordered. John Montag
holding out for the 30 days' grace.
W. T. Pangle, manager of the Marquam,
said if the theater was closed by the Ex
ecutive Board, companies billed to appear
at the theater might brine suit arainst
the playhouse proprietors for violation of t
contracts, and in turn the theater might
have to seek to recover from the citv bv
legal action.
CHARGED THAT HE WOULD
NAME 3LAYOR.
Said to Hack R. Ij. McCormick, Re
publican Nominee Democrats
and Labor Plan Fusion.
TACOMA. Wash., March 9. (Special.)
As a result of last nlghtv Republican
primaries. R. L. McCormlck is expected
to obtain the nomination for Mayor in
tomorrow's city convention on the first
ballot. With 300 pledged votes to his
credit McCormick today dominates the
political situation. A sweeping victory in
every section of the city yesterday gave
him a long lead over his closest com
petitor, E. 1. Salmson.
"The real !suo of this campaign is not
that of a closed or open town, it Ls the
question of getting more, railroads Into
Tacoma or of keeping them out." said
Mayor George P. Wright (Democrat) to
day. "McCormick Is a supporter of the
Hill Interests, the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific, and if ho is
elected he will have to stand In with
whatever JI1II wants. The result of this
election will very largely determine
whether or not we are to be handicapped
by a railroad monopoly or whether the
new roads that are seeking admission to
Tacoma will be permitted to came In."
A plan to unite the Democratic and Un
ion Labor parties, and to nominate John
Hartman for Mayor Is now on foot. It
Is possible the project will succeed, al
though it is not yet advanced beyond the
preliminary stages.
Under this arrangement, if made, the
Union Labor forces would concede the
Democrats the City Controller and Treas
urer. The remaining offices would bo
divided between the two partic..
Hartman, who was nominated by the
Union Labor clement last evening, seems
now to be a bar to the plan. He has not
yet decided whether he wants the nomi
nation of cither party, or of both. He
will defer his decision in the matter until
next week. He said today that he was
not prepared to discuss the matter.
If Hartman accepts the Union 7-abor
nomination, it will nrobablv be with the
understanding that he will also be the
nominee oi tne .Democrats.
This will eliminate Mavor W'rlirlil whn
so far has no onDosltion for the Demo
cratic nomination. It was only with re
luctance that right consented to be a
candidate and he may retire In favor of
Hartman.

HINGE'S OFFENSE
Sells Liquor to Man Who Is
intoxicated.
IS WARNED NOT TO DO SO
Record, of a Dnys Proceedings In the
Municipal Court With Punish
ments Administered to the
. Petty Offenders.
Hing: Kee, keeper of a Chinese liquor
shop at S Second streot. was found
guilty of selling liquor to an Intoxi
cated person, after the evidence of po
lice officers -was given yesterday morning-
in the Municipal Court, but. as It
was the first case under the ordinance
that has ever been taken Into court.
Judge Cameron suspended sentence.
His Honor Issued a warning, however,
to all persons to refrain from this evil
In future, as he pays sevorc fines will
follow convictions.
John Davis, aged 54 years, -was the
man to whom Hing Kee sold a glass of
"whisky, and he was charged with
being drunk. He denied It, attempting'
to prove his sobriety by stating that
by means of a "jagometcr" he gauged
himself, but he was found pruilty. As
he had been In Jail three days and
nights, he was Jlschargcd.
Acting: Poller Detectives Murphy and
Jones made the arrest- They explained
"I Wm Not Drunk." Said Durlc
that they were going their rounds
through Chinatown, and entered HIng-
Kpcs establishment, to sec If thorc
was fan tan or lottery running-. From a
balcony, they looked down at the bar.
where Davis -was leaning- heavily
against the rail. In a drunken condi
tion. While they watched. HIng Kee
himself passed to Davis a large glass
ful of "whisky." and Davis drank It.
The officers -went down and placed both
men under arrest.
"I was not drunk." declared Davis,
when he took the stand. "I had drunk
several glasses of liquor that day. but
I used my 'Jagometer' to gauge myself
and am positive 1 was not drunk."
"You -were leaning- against the bar
at HIng Koe's. were you not?" asked
Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald.
"That Is true, but leaning Is my fa
vorite position when I am drinking,"
said Davis.
"How about those 'JagometersT "
asked Mr. Fitzgerald. "Are they de
pendable for measuring JagsT"
"Sure, tnej are." replied Davis. "I've
sold lots of them and have never re
ceived a complaint against their use."
"What did you register when you
tested yourself on the night shortly
before the arrest?" asked Mr. Fitzger
ald. "I ran the mercury up to 'partly
full," said Davis.
Mr. Fitzgerald and Judge Cameron,
however, were very doubtful about
the correctness of the "jagometcrs,"
because Acting Police Detectives Mur
phy and Jones, experienced In such
matters, swore that Davis was so drunk
he had to lean on them to get to head
quarters. "Jagometcrs" register "part
ly full." "half full," "full" and "beastly
drunk."" They are difficult to operate. If
the operator gets "too full."
Judge Cameron expressed himself as
greatly pleased that the police had
started a crusade against saloonkeep
ers for selling liquor to Intoxicated
persons, and sold he hoped they would
continue vigorous enforcement of the
law. as he regarded It as very Impor
tant. "Thts being the first case. I do not
feel inclined to inflict punishment upon
this defendant," said Judge Cameron,
"but right here. I want to issue a
warning- to all saloonkeepers that they
must cease the practice of selling
liquor to intoxicated persons. The fact
that I am suspending- sentence In this
case docs not at all Imply that I shall
deal leniently in future: I shall not
deal leniently, but shall impose severe
penalties, simply letting this matter serve
as a warning.
"Why In the world don't you get
work?" asked Judge Cameron of J. H.
Mr. Ilerre Looking for Work.
Pierce, arrested by Headquarter De
tective Vaughn on a charge of vag
rancy. "I have been looking for work, but can't
find any." replied Pierce.
"You must have been running around
blindfolded." said Mr. Fitzgerald,
"Did you notice any signs around town
salng hundreds and thousands of men
were wanted to build railroads?" asked
Judge Cameron.
"I did not," replied Pierce. .
"Well, you cannot hang around Portland
any longer without going to work." said
Judge Cameron. "I propose to give you a
chance. Tou get work by 2 o'clock tomor
row afternoon, or get out of town."
T1I do one or the other." replied Pierce.

TO FIGHT INCORPORATIONS
Old Guard Will Line Up Against
.Making- .Montavillu a City.
The opposition to incorporation In Mon

Dr. William DeVcny. who haa headed
the fight against incorporation from ear
lier days and urged annexation to Port
land, said yesterday that he doubtcd very
much that there was a majority favorable
to Incorporation. On the contrarr, ho
says that the property-owners, as a rule,
are not In favor of forming a city govern
ment. The Montavilla Board or Trade
will shortly hold a meeting and lay plans
to defeat the plans to incorporate. Dr.
DeVcny said -esterdav that It W!l tttV.

TALKS FOR JOHNSON
Says Rockpile. Prisoners Are
Exaggerating.
GUARD BRIGGS A WITNESS
Declares the ''Pope Fiends' Are the
Hardest o Manage, and Says
Prisoners Arc Lnsy About
Their Work.
At the hearing in the County Commis
sioners Court, yeatorday morning, of the
charges of brutality made by the rockpile
prisoners against James F. Johnson,
guard. A. S. Uriggs, another guard, testi
fied In defonse of Johnson. Mr. Briggs
stated that the evidence given by the pris
oners was a gross exaggeration of things
that did occur, and many statements
made by them were entirely without foun
dation. "I don't think Mr. Johnson's conduct
has been out of the way." said Mr. Briggs.
"Some of the men have been hard to
handle, especially the. 'dope fiends. The
men who work have no trouble. We bave
mischief-makers who breed disturbances,
but manage to keep aloof themselves."
Concerning tho prisoner Stewart, who
testified that he was handcuffed to a post
by Johnson, who then struck him three
times- In the mouth with his fist. Mr.
Briggs stated that Johnson only caught
Stewart by the chin and shook his chin
roughly and also shook his shoulder. He
did not see Johnson strike Stewart. Nu
merous prisoners corroborated the evi
dence of Stewart, and Mr. Briggs said
some of these were quite a distance away
Handcuffing of Stewart.
The witness said the impression he
gained when Johnson handcuffed Stewart
to the post was that Johnson Intended to
let him remain there for some time, which
Johnson did not do, but released him. I
"Stewart, when he was first brought out
to work.' said Mr. Briggs, "rolled the
hammer on the ground and made fun of
it. I told him It was not through my In- !
fluence he got the Job. and advised him. but j
he wouldn't work. Johnson said to let it
drift along for a few days, and we did.
We discovered that we could not do much ,
talking to him. We put him on a wheel
barrow. He worked very slow, and when
taken to task would begin and work very
fast for a few minutes, and then would
not work at all."
Regarding the Gumbert boy. Mr. Bricss
testified that Johnson did not abuse him.
oui paauicu aim a lew times. The pick- s
handle referred to had been whittled down
to the circumference of a good-sized cane.
and the paddling did not hurt Gumbert '
very much. He was not a willing worker. ,
The prisoner Nelson, Mr. Briggs described '
as a lazy Swede. Martin. Mr. Briggs '
stated, was not overworked, but puffed
and blowcd and pretended that he was i
"all In." He was timed wheeling rock to
. t, AilU IV IWft UAIII iwu I1UIU 3 UI1U J
minutes, and the work could easily have
been done In an hour. Mr. Briggs stated
that he wheeled one load, and It was not
heavy.
Allck was characterized by Mr. Briggs
as a typical lazy Indian. Mr. Johnson
shook Allck and tore his sweater a little.
This agrees with the evidence of Allck
himself. He lias served two terms in the
Oregon penitentiary.
Had to .Make Them Work.
Johnson fhook prisoner Taylor, Briggs
said, to make him work. Bintle. a prison
er, was described as a mischief-maker who
got others in trouble .and kept out him
self. Johnson shook him somctjmes.
The prisoner Morrison. Briggs said, had
to be talked to to make him work, but
whs not lirutnllv trfnfAi!
Davis chummed with White, a "dope
flench" and had to be talked to. The wit- '
ness said they had more trouble to make , Tw,n Clty. fcP"s tor Ta
th "dope fiends" work than any of the I sStPOnuL
others. There were two In the present j
gang. White and Tucker. I
On cross-examination by W. T. Vaughn. '
attorney for hc prisoners. Brigss admit- I
ted that Johnson sometimes used bad Ian-
-tto- Ho nrrwl that i,,,... ,.-
tlia noise made by the rock-crusher: he
did not hear much or what Johnson said
to the prisoners. Briggs denied that when
Johnson became violently angry he was.
unable to control himself. He also de-"
nled telling Mr. Dickerson. in a conversa
tion held on Fourth street, that Johnson
was guilty of the charges made against
him.
Mr. Dickerson testified that Briggs did
make such admissions, and on cross-examination
admitted having' had a quarrel
with Johnson, when Johnson struck him. !
He refused to answer if he had stolen a
keg of beer from a wagon on a certain
occasion, and Mr. Vaughn remarked that
It was not much of an offense to take a
keg of beer, anyhow.
Several more prisoners were esamirfcl
yesterday who told tales of crueltv. The
hearing was continued until today.
