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

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.

Cigar Vendor to Have
Stand in City Hall
Executive Board Grants Permit to
Alexander Hamilton, Who la
Growing; Blind Convenience for
' Official.
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. He was born In Calais, Me
November 2. 1S3. He was married to a
Miss Stewart, of Boston, on September 5.
1857. Mrs. Bean died In April, 1896. Soon
after the death of his wife, Mr. Bean
enlisted In Company F, of the Nineteenth
Massachusetts Regiment, and served un
der its colors with great gallantry until
June 26, 1862, when he was seriously
wounded at the battle of Fair Oaks.
Shortly afterward he was mustered out
and returned to Boston, where he mar
ried Sarah E. Yann. From this union,
there was born a son and a daughter
The son Frederick W. still survives.
