DABBLED WITH ABSINTHE
Young Girl's - Testimony Convicts
"Mysterious Billy" Smith.
"Beer foams, sarsaparilla 'and iron
tastes something like soda water and a
sulsesse is pretty strong." was the
answer given by Miss Christine Baxter,
of 563 North- Lake street, when asked in
the Municipal Court yesterday morning
by "Mysterious Billy" Smith to state how
she could tell that she was served with
certain drinks by his bartender In the
Atlantic Cafe recently.
Smith was charged with selling liquor
to minors. Miss Baxter and her com
panion. Miss Annie L. Blackburn being
under age Miss Blackburn is III In a
local hospital, and did not testify. Smith
was found guilty and Judge Cameron
fined him $25. Smith was not in the city
when the girls were given the liquor, but
as proprietor of the cafe, he Is held
liable by tne law for the acts of his em
ployes. "Do you know what absinthe tastes
like?" asked Deputy City Attorney Fitz
gerald of Miss Baxter, after she had
answered Smith's question.
"It tastes pretty strong," she replied.
"Yes, pretty strong, and there's absinthe
In a sulsesse. Is there not?" said Mr. Fitz
gerald. Miss Baxter confessed Ignorance as to
the Ingredients of the seductive suisesse,
but explained that her companion first
drank one and recommended it to her as
"tasting fine."
"Mysterious Billy" had no evidence to
offer, but said he was out of town and
therefore had nothing to do with the
matter.
"The law holds you responsible," said
Judge Cameron. .
"It may be law, but it's not justice,"
replied Smith.
IS BEFRIENDED BY POLICE
Homeless Boy From Salt Lake Given
Food and Lodging:.
Hungry and cold, without money or
friends, Ralph Herman Wagner, 16 years
old, from Salt Lake- City, Utah, was
found shivering in the chill air at 2
o clock yesterday morning at Sixth and
living streets. Policeman Johnson found
him.
"What are you doing here at this hour
of the morning, son?.' queried the police
man. as he came up to where the boy was
standing.
Unable to control his emotions, the boy
burst into tears, and it was some time
before he was able to tell his story. He
lived in San Lake City, where now his
aged mother la seriously ill, he said, and
left home, thinking to make his own way
in the world and relieve the burden of
expense she had previously borne for
him.
Arriving in Portland, he left the freight
train on which he had ridden and
wandered around the city, having no
means to secure lodging or food and no
friends on whom to call for aid.
This was the boy's situation when found
by Policeman Johnson. The officer
escorted him to police headquarters,
where a small collection was taken up
for the boy's benefit. He was given a
warm meal and then made comfortable
at the station until later in the day when
plans were set on foot to secure him
transportation to his home and mother.
The boy declares that he has had suf
ficient of the hobo lifo and that if he
succeeds in getting home, he will never
leave It again.
RIVALS SHERLOCK HOLMES
Patrol Driver Price Corners and Ar
rests Two Suspicious Characters.
While John H. Price is at present hold
ing the humble position of patrol driver
in the local police department, he has
on several occasions displayed detective
ability that has won for him consider
able distinction and praise. Wednesday
night he arrested Ralph Thompson and
Ralph Ellis, while they were rummaging
about in various lodging houses in the
city, and they are now occupying cells
in the city Jail, pending an investiga
tion. "What do you do for a living?" asked
Price of Ellis.
"I worked all last week it 'blackface'
comedy in a vaudeville' tneater," replied
Ellis.
"You never did any such thing. That
theater had no 'blackface' comedy last
week," promptly replied Price, after El
lis named the theater.
Ellis then said he had made a mis
take In the nsme of the house, and gave
another, but investigation showed that
he had not worked there, and Ellis and
his pal will have to clear themselves of
the suspicion against them. While they
claim to be vaudeville artists, the police
say they should be listed as "bad actors."

WANT CITY TO BUILD IT
Initiative One Hundred Members
Favor Belt Line on East Third.
Now that the O. R. & N. has with
drawn its application for a franchise on
East Third street, the Initiative One
Hundred will endeavor to have the city
build a belt line to the street to be
used by any and all railroads. The In
itiative One Hundred will meet tonight
at the United Artisans' Hall In the Ab
Ington building, when the question of a
belt line will come up for discussion.
The property owners along East Third
street are clamoring for a railroad which
would provide the big wholesale houses
and factories with trackage facilities. As
no railroad company seems to be willing
to accept the franchise if it carries along
with it a common users' clause, there are
members of the Initiative One Hundred
who contend that the city should put In
the tracks.
