is IHE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY- JUIT 23. 1907. FOUR PRECINCTS L L TO BECOME Enforcement of Local Option Law Will Close 32 Saloons. GIVEN TEN DAYS' GRACE District Attorney Issues Edict as Re sult of Queer Discovery Made by Reformers ATotera' Will Long Ignored. v Notice will be served this morning on the proprietors of all saloons in precincts 40, 55. 56 and 57 that they must suspend business within the next 10 days In com pliance with the prohibition order voted under the local option law at the city election in 1905. That the order of the County Court enforcing: prohibition in these precincts was never recorded In the journal of the court and that ie saloons have been operating illegally for the past two years has Just been discovered and District Attorney Manning will today serve notice ordering them to close. There are 29 saloons In the precincts that will be affected by the order of the District Attorney, and all these must close their doors. There are also three saloons In precinct 58 that will be forced to close. This Is due to the fact that these saloons were included in precinct 57 at the time the vote was taken, but are now outside of It owing to a change in boundaries. The complete list of saloons that must go out of business follows: Saloons That Must Close. Precinct No. 40 M. J.

Preclnot No. 58 (Were In 57 when vote was taken) Albina Gardens, 360 Russell street; Peter Fox, 483 Union avenue, John Kubic, 623 Union avenue. Credit Due Rev. G. Ij. Tufts. The discovery that the prohibition vote of 1905 had never been put into effect in the four precincts named was made by Rev. G. L. Tufts, of the PacTT.c Coast District of the Reform Bureau. After obtaining a new order from the County Court covering the district, he called at tention to the situation at a meeting in the Forbes Presbyterian Church Sunday night. At this meeting a committee was appointed to take up the matter and this committee waited on District Attorney Manning yeserday morning. As a result of this conference. Deputy District Attorney Adams made a thor ough Inspection of the records of the elec v tion. It was found that the County Court had Issued an order June 23, 1905, directing that the saloons close in com pliance with the vote. This order, how ever, was never recorded in the journal of the court. Consequently it was never brought to the attention of the city li cense department, or of the District At torney, and so far as is known, the sa loons were never notified to close their doors. Obtains a New Order. When this matter was called to the at tention of the court three weeks ago. a nunc pro tunc order was made directing the saloons to close. In compliance with this order a deputy of the District At torney's office will today serve notice on the proprietors of these saloons. Mr. Manning said last night that he would give them 10 days in which to wind up their affairs and go out of business. No one seems to know how it happened that the order of the court was not re corded. County Clerk 'Fields is out ot the city and could not be Interviewed in connection with the matter. The closing of these saloons will mean a reduction of $24,800 a year in the rev enue of the city. It is not believed that the licenses can be transferred to other locations and the number of saloons in the city will therefore be reduced from 439 to 40S. Under the new license law It will be impossible to increase this number, until the official census of the city shows more than 500 people for eveYy saloon doing business.

PLAYS ROLE OF DETECTIVE John Grieder, Prominent Contrac tor, Works on Huber Case. Assuming the role of a detective, John Grieder, a cement contractor and one of the most prominent members of the local Swiss colony, for several nights follow ing the mysterious murder of Alexander Huber, a fellow countryman, gave his valuable time in an effort to assist the police in their efforts to solve the puzzle. Disguised as laborer and wearing his shabbiest clothing, Grieder went from place to place, where his countrymen are accustomed to assemble, and sought to learn facts that would throw light on the deep mystery surrounding the murder. He mingled with Swiss of all classes in saloons and lodging-houses, but his ef forts 'were of no avail. He was unable to learn anything that In any way tended to solve the mystery. Detectives working on the case have been baffled at every point, and as mat ters now stand, this case bids fair to go down in police history as another un solved murder mystery. Heretofore, the Japanese have been known to the police as the most reticent of any nationality relative to murders committed among their countrymen here, but in this case, Detective Sergeant Baty declares, the lit tle brown men have been completely out distanced. The Swiss, he says, have given absolutely no assistance to the po lice, and it has been Impossible to elicit from them anything that could be used as a clue to the murderer of Huber. Huber was a milkman, and was a part ner in' a ranch on the Cornell road. A week ago, while he was going home at night he was shot by an assassin, who fired upon him from ambush, and died by the roadside, the body being discov ered at daybreak by Huber's brother and one of the dairymen. BAR PROSECUTOR RESIGNS Frank S. Grant Unable to Perforin Duties Longer. Frank S. Grant, prosecutor for the Ore gon Bar Association, announces his in tention to resign November 1. His rea son, he says, is that his recently-assumed duties as Assistant City Attorney will not permit him to give the time that he should to the prosecutor's office. The griev ance committee of the association will re ceive a recommendation from Mr. Grant that Ralph B. Fisher, secretary . of the Multnomah County Bar Association, be appointed to succeed him. Grant succeeded in bringing about the suspension for 90 days of Judge Tanner for perjury in the Mitchell land-fraud case. He has also filed charges against Marion R. Biggs and ohn F. Watts in the State Supreme Court. Through his prosecution H. H. Turner, of Salem, was permanently disbarred for perjury in the Kellahcr land-fraud case in Marion County. O. S. C. Stone, a Pendleton man, was also prevented by Grant from becom ing a member of the bar. Stone was later convicted of forgery and is now serving a sentence in the state penitentiary. It was strongly urged by Grant that dis barment proceedings be commenced against Grey & Robinson, lawyers who operated from the Chamber of Commerce building a secret divorce scheme. This case was dropped because the grievance committee would not uphold him. COUNTY FAIR IS PLANNED Gresham Grange Starts Movement for Exhibition in Fall. Gresham Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, has started a movement for a county fair, this action having been taken at its last meeting. The next step will be to secure the co-operation of every grange in Mult nomah County. The plan is to ask the master of each of the ten granges in the county and one assistant to act as direc tors of the fair association to be formed. Business men will be invited to assist with their advice. All organizations, fra ternal and benevolent, and churches will be Invited to take part. Stockmen, dairy men, poultry-raisers and men engaged in horticulture and agriculture and those interested in the prosperity of the county will be urged to participate. There will be educational features, which will be conducted through lectures and papers on practical topics. . Com mittees are at work preparing a cir cular letter to send broadcast setting forth the scherne. The time for the fair has not been fixed, but it will be held some time in October so as not. to conflict with the one projected by Evening Star Grange. The opening fair will be the beginning of what it Is hoped will be a permanent institution for this county. HOLLADAY PARK CONCERT Special Numbers to Be Played To night by Request.

Three propositions to erect plants and supply gas to the people of St. JohnB are pending before the Council, and are ex pected to receive attention at the meeting tonight. Up to last Tuesday two com panies had been trying to get franchises, but had not succeeded. These were rep resented by James Steel and F. L. Purse, and L. Davldor came in ' at the last meeting with another proposition, but did not announce what it was. He said he would be prepared to make a definite offer at the meeting tonight. There is a dis position to give franchises to all those applying, provided the terms are satisfac tory to the people, and then let the con tending companies have the open field. St. Johns wants gas, but does not favor a franchise that will exclude all but one company. The place has 5000 people and is growing rapidly. Just what the Council will do with the three applications for franchises remains to be seen- 66 Anniversary Sale" Bargain s fa All Departments Established 1857 50th Anniversary The' M eier Frank Store Fifty Years in Portland All .Women s S ummer Apparel At .Greatly Reduced, Prices $70.00 Costumes, $28.45 $35 Tailored Suits $ 1 8.45 $52 Tailored Suits $24.45 $22 Tailored Suits $9.85 Entire Stock of Wash Apparel Reduced Sensational values in all lines of women's ready-to-wear apparel the greatest bargains you ever shared in ladies take advantage.

Puts Her Off Train With Little Child After Squabble Over Half Fare. W. T. Hendryx. who arrived In Port land last night over the Northern Pa cific from Seattle, says a woman pas senger1 was treated with brutality by Conductor Joseph Doyle, who was in charge of the train, and other members of. the train crew, because of a dispute over the payment of the fare for a little girl who accompanied her. The woman, whose name Mr. Hendryx would not give, was ' accompanied by her mother and the daughter and was on her way . from Ohio to Medford, Southern Oregon, for a visit with rela tives. . "The trouble began after . the train left Tacoma." said Mr. Hendryx, who registered at the Hotel Eaton. last night. "Conductor Doyle demanded of the, mother that she pay rare for the little girl. The mother explained that the child was but five years and seven months of age and that she had not been required to pay fare on her ac count since leaving Ohio. But the con ductor was Insistent and Anally told the woman that unless the half-fare was paid he would put the child off the train at Chehalis. "When that point was reached, Doyle, accompanied by the checkman, two brakemen and a large burly negro, entered the car. Two of them seized the woman by the arjas, forcibly tore her from the carseat, dragged her to the platform and forced her Into the street. The conductor's assistants grabbed the child and in the scuffle which followed, tore her ' clothing off her person, and deposited her on the ground beside the mother. "At this stage in the affair, the mother agreed to pay the child's fare rather than to be detained on her Journey. With this understanding the two were allowed to re-enter the car, when the conductor was required to issue a receipt showing the payment of fare for the. child. After a visit with relatives In Southern Oregon, the woman expects to return to Seattle and institute an action for damages against the. railroad company. "I have travelled a great deal on trains but I never before witnessed a more disgraceful and cowardly treat ment of a woman. Her arms, and body were bruised by the treatment she re ceived, while the bullies by whom she was handled, also broke her' watch chain and a bracelet she was wearing. I have seen men handled with more precaution and consideration than was shown this woman."

' PARENTS FIGHT FDR -BOY DR. EATON TAKES SON FROM MOTHER AT CORVALLIS. Lad Escapes From Father in Port land and Is Missing Mrs. Eaton Comes Here to Search. A sensational fight for the possession of an 11-year-old boy began at Corvallls Sun day night, when Dr. F. B. Eaton, an oculist and aurist, having offices in the Macleay building in this city, took his son, Joseph, aboard the train and brought him to Portland. Police attention was called to the case yesterday afternoon, when Mrs. Eaton beside herself with grief, 'called at headquarters and poured out her story to Chief Gritzmacher. The father also called, his mission being to report that the boy slipped from his father apartments in a fashionable boarding-house at 53 North Eighteenth street, during the night, and was missing. The police took up the hunt for the missing boy, but. up to a late hour had not found him. Mrs. Eaton declared to Chief Gritzmacher that she believes her son, after leaving his father in slumber at the hotel, hurried for the woods, where, she thinks he will remain until he feels confident he can make his way back to Corvallis to her. Dr. Eaton admitted to the Chief that he had no idea what the boy would do, but when first stating his side of the case at headquarters, asked that a mes sage be sent to his wife at Corvallls, as he wished the police to query her as to whether the boy had returned to her. At the time, he did not .know she was here. His request, however, was denied. According to the story related to Chief Gritzmacher, a most sensational scene occurred at Corvallis when Dr. Eaton boarded the train and took Joseph with him. He had visited the boy at Mrs. Eaton's apartments, and the boy con sented to go to the depot with him. When the train started. Dr. Eaton took Joseph on board and brought him here. All the way to Portland. Mrs. Eaton stated, the-boy cried and wept over leaving his mother, and the affair was the all-absorbing topic among the passengers, she said. According to her, there was serious talk among some of the men on board of taking the boy away and sending him back to Corvallis. but they did not do so, because they were not clothed with tho proper authority, she said. When her son did not return home. Mrs. Eaton became alarmed, and went to the depot, only to learn that her husband had taken the boy with him. She was frenzied, there being nothing she could do until the next train left for Portland. She waited and came down yesterday, and at once hurried to police headquarters, where she related the case. Dr. Eaton stated that he acted accord ing to the advice of his lawyer in taking his son on board the train and bringing him to Portland, and said he felt strictly within his rights in all he had done. He was nonplussed, however, at the escape of the boy. He could not understand how the youth managed to get away without arousing him, but admitted that such was the case. Upon Dr. Eaton's arrival in Portland, he took his son to his apartments at 63 Xorth Eighteenth street, and at night they retired together. After the boy fell asleep. Dr. Eaton arose and locked the door, but left the key in the lock. Yes terday morning, when he awoke, to his great astonishment, the boy was gone. Dr. and Mrs. Eaton have been separated for several years, but are not divorced. They formerly lived here, but for three years he practiced in San Fran cisco, where he is well known. She left and went to Corvallls, where she re mained for two years. It is expected that the fight for the possession of the boy will be taken today into the Juvenile Court, according to the advice given by Chief Gritzmacher.
