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.

TRIBUTE, TO DEAD PIONEER
l-'ricnd Tells of the Many Qualities
of Chauncey Dale.
Chauncey Dale, who died Saturday even
ing. 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. These two orders have charge
of the funeral, which -will be held from
Finley's chapel AVednesday afternoon at
- o clock: Interment in Riverview Ceme
tery. Friends are Invited. F. E. G.
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."
The jury failed to return a true bill
against Mrs. Helen Pierce Gray, the
magazine writer, who was arrested sev
eral months ago on the charge of accept
ing money from the Indians of the reser
vation without, the consent of the Secrer
tary of the Interior. 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. '
