I TRUCE OF DRINKWATER .DETECTIVES LOOKING FOR MAN WHO IASSEI BAD CHECKS. Was Last Seen Thursday at Imperial Hotel Said to Have Victoria liecord. J. H. Drinkwater. the young man who cut such a swath In Portland and signed cheeks In profusion to automobile men. and tavern keepers, la no longer a resi dent of Portland. He Is being anxiously sought by his creditors and by the police detectives who are trying to serve . a warrant on him charging larceny. Drink water claimed to be the son of C. Drink water, one of the high officials of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. In reply to a telegram sent to the railroad man. It is learned that the young check signer is not a relative. Drinkwater's bills aggregate several hundred dollars and he is a much more sought man now than when he was en tertaining his friends on day and night auto orgies. According to Drinkwater. he stands high with the railroad com pany. Not only did he say that he Is the advertising man of the company, but also that he Is one of Its most trusted detectives. To support the latfer claim he wears an enameled detective's star with the Canadian Pacific emblem. His cards, which he distributed right and left while in the city, proclaim him to be a representative of the railroad's ad vertising department. It Is said, how ever, that he had the cards made in Portland In order to carry out his schemes. He signed checks m a lavish manner while here. He employed a stenographer and numerous messengers and had a suite of rooms at the Imperial Hotel. The rooms were seldom used, but he paid for them with worthless checks. The last seen of Drinkwater In Port land .was at 3 o'clock Thursday after noon at the Imperial Hotel. Although his possessions are still at the hotel, it Is now believed by the police and by others that he has left the city for un corked fields. . Portland creditors are not the only ones who would like to see Drinkwater in the hands of the police. It was learned yesterday that he had painted Victoria, B. C, with a carmine-colored hue while there. Worthless checks were Issued by him, as they were in Portland, but the young man left the British Co lumbia city in time to avoid arrest. Held for Resisting Officer. Frank McGee was arraigned before Re-, corder W. L. Thorndyke, of the St. Johns Municipal Court, yesterday, on a charge of resisting an officer. Charles1 Bredson, Chief of Police, was the complainant in this case, and the charge was that Mc Gee undertook to rescue a friend whom that officer was trying to arrest. There were several other witnesses for the state. Recorder Thorndyke held McGee to answer to the next grand jury In the sum of $500. which he did not furnish, and he was committed to the County Jail. This is the third case of the sort, where Chief of Police Bredson has been Interfered with in the discharge of his duties. The Recorder has also fined half a dozen for using profane and vulgar lan guage on the streets of St. Johns recent ly, and now very little profanity is heard in public places. Tour complexion, as well as your tem per, is rendered miserable by a disorder ed liver. Improve both by taking Car ter's LJttle Liver Pills. YACHT EL PB1MER0 SOLD CHESTER A. THORXE, OF TA COMA, BUYS CRAFT. Vessel Has Been Anchored In Port land Harbor Since Lewis and Clark Exposition. The handsome little steam yacht El Primero, which has attracted so much attention during her stay in the local har bor, has been sold to Chester A. Thorne. a prominent banker and business man of Tacoma, and she will be fitted up here and taken around to the Sound in a few days. The price Is $25,000. El Primero attracted the attention of the local public during her visit here last 8ummer, when her. former owner J W Hopkins, a San Francisco millionaire! brought a party of relatives and friends In the vessel to visit the Lewis and Clark Exposition. During the stay of the Hop kins party last Summer, several excur sions to the different points of Interest along the Columbia and Willamette Riv ers were made, and the trim little craft attracted more than passing notice. Last Summer Robert Dunsmutr made an offer for the yacht, but she was not for sale at that time. Immediately after the San Francisco disaster the owner of the craft decided to dispose of her, and since about the first of May she has been anchored In the stream awaiting a prospective pur chaser. It is with genuine regret among the . waterfront fraternity that the craft has been disposed of to outside parties. for it was fondly hoped that Portland capital would invest in the pretty little pleasure craft. Several local business men have been reported as prospective purchasers of the vessel, but evidently none of them cared to expend $25,0u0 for Such a luxury. Captain Calvert has been in charge of the .vessel for the last two months, and he will oversee the work of refitting the vessel. The contract for this work has been let to the Vulcan Iron Works, of this city, which concern will overhaul the machinery and make, what repairs are necessary to the vessel before her depart ure for the Sound. BIG DEAL ON EAST SIDE Ladd . and Others Sell Waterfront Property for $75,000. W. M. Ladd and others have sold one block and six lots on the East Side water front, bounded by the river. East Water, East Stark and East Oak streets, to Rob ert J. Bulkley for $75,000. The property is valuable, as it controls an excellent wharf site and naturally, would command a good figure at any time. What Mr. Bulkley'a Intention with his new holdings is has not been made public as yet. Real estate men say the Investment will undoubtedly prove a good one from a speculative standpoint.

AYOR LANE and the many others 1 I at the City Hall will no longer be compelled to carry their day's supply of cigars In their pockets. Yesterday the Executive Board adopted a report of the City Hall committee to permit Alexan der Hamilton to opeh a tobacco stand in the municipal building. Hamilton who Is gradually going blind, has a widowed mother to support and his many friends brought weight to bear to secure him the permit. Some time ago & resolution was adopted by the Council asking that the permit be granted by the Executive Board. ' That the establishment of the stand will bring relief to the users of the weed who frequent the City Hall there can be no doubt. As It now is, the officials and employes have to fill their pockets with oholce assortments of cigars in the morn ing before they go to work or they will have to go hungry for a smoke all day. Consequently they load up before work ing hours. But as soon as Mr. Hamil ton gets established In business all they will have to do Is walk a few steps to the stand, which will be located4 in the main corridor near the entrance. During the meetings of the Council there has eometlmes been a shortage of smoking material. Messenger boys to make trips to down town stores came in very handy. The members of the Executive Board declare that they grant the permit be cause of the condition of Mr. Hamilton. Of course, this has something to do with it, but it Is belle-red by many that the city officials are tired of having to stock up with enough cigars every morn ing to keep them busy all day. Funeral of Wesley Pay son Bean. Funeral services were held yesterday over the remains of Wesley Payson Bean, the old soldier who died alone and unat tended recently on Portland Heights. Rev. Henry A. Barden conducted the funeral at the chapel of Finley's under taking parlor. Interment was made in Rivervlew Cemetery. The deceased was a refugee from San Francisco.
