THE 3I0RXIXG OREGOXTAX, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1908. DECLARES BRUIN MUSI Cameron Resents Alleged In ference -That He Showed Favoritism to Fritz. BARS CAPTAIN FROM COURT l liai ses Against North Kntl Saloon Dismissed by Committee on Promise of Proprietor to Obey Law. AocrptinK a'Rlateinont made by Captain Bruin as an Insinuation that he had shown favoritism from the bench to Fred Kritz. a saloonkeeper. Municipal Judge Cameron yesterday demanded an explana tion from the Chief of Detectives. Al though the Captain declared he had not meant any insinuation against Jtidgo Cameron, the latter" was not satisfied and subsequently asserted that he would not allow Captain Bruin to testify in the Municipal Court until he apologizes. The clash between Judge Cameron and Captain Bruin occurred before the license committee of the Council during a hearing of charges against the Fritz saloon, which Is located at Second and Burnside streets. After the meeting had ended. Captain Bruin declared he did not consider any apology due Judge Cameron and that he would make none. Tlio remark Judge Cameron so hotly resented was made in regard to a re cent forfeiture of $iart out of $;HX bail money, put up by Fritz 'when charged with violations of the city ordinance. In concluding his statement as to the dis position of the case. Captain Bruin re ferred to the'aetion of Deputy City Attor ney Fitzgerald, Ralph K. Moody, for the defense, and Fritz himself, and added, "and the whole bunch." Demands an Explanation. Judge Cameron Immediately demanded that Chairman Cottel ask Captain Bruin whom he meant by the "whole bunch." Captain Bruin- merely smiled, and Dr. Cottel did not insist upon an answer, but Judge Cameron did. i "I demand, Mr. Chairman, that you in sist upon Captain Bruin answering my question," said Judge Cameron. "1 want to know if he Includes me in "the bunch;' 1 demand to know what he means by 'what he has said. I occupy a Judicial position, and have a way to ascertain his meaning If you cannot." Assistant City Attorney Grant then asked Captain Bruin if he meant any in sinuations against Judge Cameron, to which the officer replied that he did not mean his remarks that way. Captain Bruin also admitted that he did not know of anything wrong about tho forfeiture. In view of Judge Cameron's own sworn statement before the committee to the effect that the forfeiture 'was recorded as a conviction, Captain Bruin was obliged to acknowledge that everything was regular. "The only thing almit it that looked bad." said Captain Bruin, "was that no testimony was taken; it was all done by the court, the lawyers and- Fritz. But I don't know as theie was anything wrong about it." "That's just it," said Judge Cameron. "He comes up here and swears to things he don't know anything about. What I want this committee to understand, is that 1 belong to no 'bunch.' " Captain Bruin, Captain Slover, Sergeant Baty and Policeman Van Overn testified that they had seen the law broken in the Fritz saloon and theater on several oc casions. Women, attired in- abbreviated skirts, they swore, were on hand all the time, '.'rustling" drinks, and that as high as $2 a bottle was charged by these women for what Fritz calls Cinciunatus, a non-intoxicating substitute for beer. Complaint was also made that there are . entrances from the theater to the saloon, ' contrary to the ordinance. ' The commit tee ordered Fritz to dispense with women selling drinks and to comply with the law regarding a partition between the saloon and theater. He agreed to do this and the charges against him were dis missed. Some of the Councilmen visited the Fritz resort, as did also Assistant City Attorney Grant, and all agreed that it was not a proper place, as at present conducted. Fallon License Transferred. Over the vigorous protest of Council man Vaughn, the commfttee voted to transfer the license of Tom Fallon, which was recently revoked, to J. A. Duffy, who has been bartender for Fallon for sev eral months. It was said by Councilman Driscoll that Duffy had never been, in trouble of any kind and that the saloon Vould be made clean of thugs and crimi nals. Captain Bruin, however, said that Duffy once misrepresented to him the character of three men found in Fallon's Baloon. Councilman Vaughn declared that "birds of a feather Hock together." and paid he was opposed to this transfer; that the same action was taken in the case of John Conrad and that ft looked as though, when a license was revoked. It was easy to have it transferred to somo one else. "Mr. Vaughn, don't you think Mr. Duffy Is as good a man as you are?" asked Councilman Driscoll. "I think he's fully as good as you are. but I would hate to think he is one-half as good as 'I am," heatedly replied Mr. Vaughn. The committee reconsidered JheNcase of I.. C. Turner, proprietor of a South Port land saloon, whose license was recently revoked. lie promised to conduct the place in an orderly manner hereafter. Baker & Larsen. at Third and Taylor streets, attempted to have the revocation of their saloon license reconsidered, but did not succeed. At the Theaters What the Irea Airnti Say.

February 8. at his late residence in the Union block, this city, was one of j me oiaesi uuuienuws 111 ine state. j-ie has been a prominent member of that order for more than 40 years, as well as a prominent Knight of Pythias. Frater nity was his religion, humanity his watchword and many a life has felt the touch of his kindly, generous hand, and many bereaved ones have been helped by his ready sympathy. - . - Mr. Dale was born near Rochester. N. T., January 15, 1823, and was 85 years and 24 days old at the time of his death. His was a long, well-spent lif, full of kind, noble deeds and generous, helpful acts. He was the soul of honor and integrity, big-hearted and hospitable, and hosts of friends mourn the loss of a true and tried friend. He was a miner in- the days of '49, I going to California by way of the lath- j mua during the gold fever of those early times. He mined in that state and in various places in Oregon, coming to Port land in 1860. At that time he established a large painting business and for years was one of the foremost painters In the state. He was a contemporary of Ben Holladay and was on intimate terms with many of the men who made the early history of Oregon. He was a prominent member of the Pioneer Association. In later years he returned to the mines and spent a number of years in the Blue River country, where he owned a valuable mine. ,He worked there until he was about 80 years old, when his health be gan falling, and he returned to Port land. Mr. Dale was a strong, rugged man and amassed a small competency by hard, honest work. He was of a very independent nature and took pride in caring for himself to the day of his death. He 'lived alone, in spite of the protests of his friends, and his death came quickly and quietly, as he always desired. He left a small estate besides his mine. He had no near relatives on the Coast, but friends were with him at the last and he was conscious and ready. His faculties' were unimpaired, his mem ory most excellent. A charming host, an interesting and entertaining conversationalist was Chaun cey Dale. His stories of pioneer times of the mines In the old days, of the early nisjory ot the "States before the rail roads, when people traveled by river and canal even in 'York State, would make interesting reading. The youngest mem ber of a large family of long-lived peoole. his nearest living relatives are two nephews and two nieces in Michigan, Missouri and New York. Frank Weyers, of this city, is a grand-nephew. Mr. Dale was a member of Samaritan Iodge, I. O. O. F.. and of Ivanhoe lodee. K. of P.

CHARGES AL VISIONARY Grand Jury Condemns Broslus. Crow Scandal Going to Congress. HELENA, Mont., Feb. 10. The Federal grand jury, which has been In session here for 49 days investigating the charge of Irregularities on the Crow Indian res ervation, late today submitted its report to Judge W. H. Hunt. Major Reynolds, agent of the reservation, . was exonerated and the, charges by Special Agent Bro slus, of the Indian Rights Association, are characterized as visionary. Mr. Bro sius' failure to appear before the grand jury to support his- charge Is termed "rep rehensible conduct."

Mrs. Gray was re sponsible for the Indian Rights Associa tion's sending Mr. Broslus to the reser vation, and she declared tonight tfiat she would' tomorrow leave for Washington to demand a Congressional investigation of the Crow reservation. M. K. Sniffen, secretary of the. Indian Rights Association, who is here from Philadelphia, says he will co-operate with Mrs. Gray in her efforts to have a Congressional inquiry.

HE SAN DIEGO SCORED ASSET CURRENCY The people of Portland, Or., are rejoicing because their oily is "the first in the country to present a clean sheet following the recent financial flurry," as The Portland Telegram explains. The banks of that rify issued $1,400,000 in asset currency maturing on the first of. this month. The last of it was redeemed three days before that date. This is a showing of which the Portland business men have reason to be proud. Jt is all the better because at one time the situation in the northern city threatened to become especially acute. But if Portland has cause for pride in being the first, to retire its asset currency, how much more satisfaction should there be in cities that were on so sound a basis that they could weather the storm with out resort to clearing-house certificates? San Diego was by itself in that class on the Pacific Coast, no other city of like size and volume of business being i.ble to tideover the trouble without asset money. And the Union has reason to know that the manner in which San Diego met that financial crisis and passed it did "wonders in strengthening this city in the estimation of the outside world. Even now, newcom ers express surprise and admiration when they learn that San Diego issued no clearing-house certificates. One of the first questions of many visitors is as to the amount of the supposed issue, and when they are told that San Diego went through the flurry on a hard-money basis, their confidence in the city is manifestly increased. Cities that tided over the trouble with asset currency, did w.ell; those that were able quickly to retire it, did better; those that did not have to issue it, did best of all. Editorial, San Diego Union. PORTLAND OtS SAN ONE While we admit '.he above is ttuc in many respects. Portland is famous beyond this, reference. There was one bank in Portland, Or., which did not take advantage of asset currency, holidays, time limits, or place any limit on amount of withdrawals, but was' "open all the. time" on an "all-gold" basis.. That one was the German-American Bank. No other city of any importance on the entire Const not even our southern sunburnt, sunkissed sister, San Diego, can boast of this. But of course the president and some of the stockholders of the German-American Bank are from San Diego, and you fellows down there will claim this credit afer all. California always would beat in the argument. X. Y. Z. Editorial, Portland. ' grade; special, yard. .$1.25 ft., 15 ft., 17 ft., 20 ft.; all wide.
