THE MORNIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1908. 11 SOUTHERN OREGON COMPANY IS SUED Claimants Want Land Grant ed for Building of Coos Bay Wagon Road. TERMS FIXED BY CONGRESS Act Provides That Iand B Sold In Tracts Xot L-arger Than 160 Acres, at $2. SO an Acre Land Sold by Owners in Bulk. Contending that applicants for Iffrtd of the Coos Bay wagon road grant should have the right to buy the land In 160-acre tracts at a price not ex ceeding $2.60 an acre, 86 applicants have brought suit In the United State Circuit Court against the present possessor of the land the Southern Oregon Company, whose chief stock holders are "William W. Crapo, William .T. Rotch, Elijah Smith and Prosper "W. Smith, residents of New York and Bos ton. These applicants want a total of 17,000 acres out of 92,000 held by the company. Another suit will be filed next week for some 1700 acxes more. The would-bo purchasers base their claims on the land srant act of Con frress which donated the lands to aid construction of a wagon road from Roseburff to Coos Bay and which says that the "lands shall be sold to any one person only in quantities not greater than one quarter section and for a price not exceeding $2.50 an acre." In opite of this language of the law, the land haa been sold repeatodly In bulk and now the possessor Is willing to sell only the most worthless at $2.50 an acre The land was granted by the United States to the State or Oregon, which in turn, by Legislative act. granted It to the Coos Bay Wagon Road Company "upon the conditions and limitations therein prescribed" (in the act of Congress). The Coos Bay Wagon Road Company sold 36,533 acres of the land to John Miller, alias Ambrose Wood roof, In 1875, and sold the remaining 61,143 acres to William H. Besse, in 1884. Woodrodf sold to Collls P Huntington, Charles Crocker, Ice land Stanford and Mark Hopkins; Huntington, Stanford and Hopkins sold to Crocker, Crocker to Besse, and Besse to Russell Gray, Gray to the Oregon Southern Improvement Company, that company to Crapo and Roach, and they to the Southern Oregon Company. The land which the Coos Bay Wagon Road Company sold directly to. Besse, he sold to the Oregon Southern Improve ment Company, that company to Crapo and Rotch and they to the Southern Oregon Company ftales Alleged to Bo Void. The Coos Bay Wagon Road Company sold the lands, says the complaint of the applicants for the land, "disregard ing, disobeying and contemning the conditions, restrictions and limitations In said act of Con gress and act of the Legislature of the Ptate of Oregon," and the complaint alleges the sales therefore were "ab solutely null and void and of no ef fect and conveyed no estate or title whatsoever In or to any of said lands" On account of the doubt, therefore, that title has passed legally from the Coos Bay Wagon Road Company, its stockholders are made parties to the suit, together with the Southern Ore gon Company. The company Is now dissolved. The complaint prays for a decree from the court as follows: First That Congress created the grant upon a "condition subsequent" which "was and now U annexed to said estate" limiting the selling price to $2.60 an acre and quan tity which any purchaser may buy to 160 acres. econd That the demand ox the claim ants for tha land be declared valid and the applicants be given first claim to the lands ought and pay the Southern Oregon Com pany tXSO an acre, together with all taxes paid on tha land. Third That the Southern Oregon Com pany render an account ot all taxes paid. Fourth That the Southern Oregon Com pany executa deeds to tha apollcaats for the lands they seek to buy. fifth That If the company neglect so to do. that the decree of tha court stand as ' a deed to tha lands In favor of tha appli cants; also that a receiver be appointed to protect the interests of all oarties. Elxth That the applicants be reim bursed by tha company for the costs of the suit. Seventh That the comsany ba decreed trustee of tha lands, holding them for the benefit of the State of Oregon, the United Btates and tha applicants for tha land. Bonaparte Party Defendant. Attorney-General Bonaparte Is cited as a party defendant In the suit, on account of the interest which Govern ment authorities claim the Govern ment possesses in the grant The applicants ask for a receiver because of the many conflicting claims to land that will be made, and the con fusion and. Injustice that will result, and because there Is danger that the Southern Oregon Company may sell all the lands Involved in the suit and com plicate title to the land in some manner The complaint cites that all the lands sought are vacant, unimproved and wild and wilfully withheld from set tlement, thus retarding the growth of mo cuuiuiuniLy x. a. Aiinot is attor ney for the applicants. BOXING BOUTS ARE FAST Tommy Tracey's Pupils Give- Fine Exhibition of Art. It was a most enthusiastic aggrega tion of admirers of the boxing game that left Tommy Tracey's gymnasium at the conclusion of last night's smoker, for they had witnessed some of the best amateur bouts seen In Portland in many a day. With the exception of one match wherein one of the principals got cold feet and failed to show up, which re quired a substitution, all were clean cut, rattling good exhibitions of the manly art. In the main event of the evening only was a spirit of vlndlctiveness Bhown, but In this case both - contestants were trreatly desirous of winning and there fore some of their gruelling tactics could be condoned. At that they did not over reach the bounds of amateur boxing rules. This bout was between Que Rosche, one of Tracey's pupils, and Jimmy Donohue, of Battery A, Fourth Artillery. The two boys were evenly matched and both deserved praise for the capable manner in which they demonstrated their knowl edge of the fistic art. Many of the fight fans present thought Donohue should have been awarded the decision because of his work In the last round, but the referee, Jack King, rendered his decision calling the match a draw correctly, for even if the soldier had a slight advan tage In tha final round. Rosche had dis played the better skill, as. well as strategy, during the earlier minutes of the bout. Of equal size and possessed of about equal skill the two men furnished a con test such as has seldom been witnessed in this city. " The red-headed lad from South Portland, and the blue-eyed soldier boy, exchanged straight arm Jolts, hard blows to the head and body with as much gusto as would have two seasoned ring generals. Rosche is an old acquaintance of Tracey's patrons, for in January he was pitted against Sullivan, but at that time was hardly in condition and lost the decision. Last night, however, he looked In perfect shape and really needed to be, for his- opponent was a scrapper of the whirlwind type, and between them they had the crowd on edge at all times. They mixed from start to finish of each round. Another go between these two would prove the best drawing card Tracey could have. The opening bout on the programme was between Willie Bundy. a little fellow and Nick McCarthy, a much taller fad. This bout was declared a draw, but the crowd thought Bundy should have had the decision. The cleanest bout on the programme was the splendid exhibition given by Bob Wheatley and Lou Young. These young sters boxed four rounds during which not one clinch was recorded, and both dis played more than passing cleverness at the game. Both were roundly cheered by the spectators when they left the ring, and the bout was declared a draw. Prank Sax and "Kid" Wilson put up a good bout which was also declared a draw. Both were plainly tired at the finish. . What promised to be an exciting match was Bpolled because of one of the men falling to show up. This was the bout scheduled between Ian Sullivan and Lou Madden, the latter falling to put In tils appearance. Sullivan gave an exhibition bout with a 200-pounder named RusseL JAP JAILS FOUR STJRPHISES TRAMPS WTCILK THEY RIFLE CAR, With Shotgun, Ho Forces Thieves to Surrender and Delivers Pris oners to Chehalls Sheriff. CHJETHAIJS, Wash., Feb. 2L (Special.) A plucky Japanese cook employed on a Northern Pacific construction car at Napavtne held up four hobo robbers near that place last nl?ht and the whole bunch was landed In the county jail a few hours later. The men, who give their names as J. McDonald, Charles Anderson, Walter Ilaselgren and Thomas Roberts, had en tered the car during the absence of the occupants. Taking an axe they broke open a trunk and took two watches and two razors. The Japanese returned to the car unex pectedly and the men fled down the track. The Jap seized a shotgun and pursued them, holding them up and forcing their surrender. Sheriff Deggeller and deputy returned with the men at midnight. A. M. Green, who but yesterday com pleted & 90-day sentence in the county Jail, was arrested again last night at Cen tralia with a quantity of stolen goods in his possession. There are 23 prisoners in the Lerwis County Jail. Yesterday, the County Commissioners In special session and after a consultation with County Attorney Harmon and Sher iff Deggeller decided to provide at once additional Jail quarters in the upstairs rooms of the Courthouse. BOND TO REPRESENT OREGON Awarded First Place In Oratorical Tryout by Two Points. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., Feb. ZL (Special.) In the tryout for Interstate orator, held here in Vlllard Hall tonight, Jesse L. Bond, '09, won first pla.ee and will be Oregon's representative in the big contest. His oration was "Evolution, of Character." That the contest was very closely con tested Is evidenced by the fact that Bor.d won over Clarence L. Whealdon by the small margin of two points. Whealdon's oration was "Commercial Despotism," and was adjudged the best of 'all in com position, but Bond won by his delivery. Bert Preecott, Oregon's representative in the Intercollegiate oratorical contest, was awarded third place, his oration be ing "Mercy That Condemns."

McAIlen & McDonnell, Third and Mor rison. . Says Brandes Was Careless. Otto Brandes' carelessness cost him his life, according to, the answer filed bv tha Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany, In the suit brought by Edward Plinkiewisch, as. administrator, to re cover damages. 'Brandes stepped off a westbound car at Gllsan and Eleventh streets last February, and another car going east, on the north track, struck him, inflicting fatal injuries. It is al leged In the answer that this car was going only four miles an hour, and that the motorman was ringing the bell. The company also alleges that the car was equipped with the Hunter " fender, and that this was in accordance with the city ordinance passed In 1904? BAILEY SUCCEEDS PATRICK' 1RUIN Popular Police Captain Be comes Head of the City Detective Force. OFFICERS CHANGE PLACES Late Inspector and Chief of Secret Service Branch Steps Into Shoes of His Successor Today. Other Radical Changes. Virtually a complete reorganisation of the local police department will be effected In pursuance of an order Is sued yesterday by Chief of Police Grltxmachcr. The order makes assign ments and changes of officers and patrolmen radical in character. The principal change affects Captain Pat rick Bruin, who Is now head of the detective staff and Inspector of police, and Captain George H. Bailey, now In command of the second night relief. Captain Bruin, by the order. Is relieved of command of the detective staff and Captain Barley, Who Will Hea4 De tective Department. placed in charge of the second night relief, while Captain Bailey Is pro moted to the office of captain of de tectives and inspector of police, the two officers changing places. Besides this most Important change, the rank and file of the police force Is generally shifted about, numerous changes being made among the men from one relief to another, and from one beat to another, and numerous changes of the boundaries of beats are established, which have ' been made owing to the late additions to the ranks of the patrolmen, to better facili tate the covering of territory. Among the Important personal changes is one that affects Acting De tectives Kay and Klenlen, heretofore known as the "moral squad." Klenlen, as has already been announced, has been transferred from plain clothes duty to uniform and assigned to a beat in the residence district, but today he will be moved to the North End beat . where most of the city's dives exist, and will be on the first night relief under command of Captain Slover. Kay has been relieved from all work in connection with gambling and other "moral" con ditions and has been assigned to work with Acting Detective Smith In keep ing a watch over tha pawnshops and second-hand stores. For Good of Service. When asked regarding the changes, Chief Grltzmacher said that his order Implied nothing further than what It contained and that all changes were for the good of the service. Further than this he declined to discuss the changes. The Chiefs order has taken the entire force by surprise, and it was discussed with intense interest yesterday afternoon and last night. In some quarters it is said that there has been friction at vari- Inspector Bruin. Who Becomes a , Regular Captain of Police. ous times between Captain Bruin and Chief Grltzmacher, but neither of these officials will admit this and well-informed people In police circles scout the truth of this rumor and call It Idle gossip. While the change in Capatln Bruin's case might be regarded as a reduction in rank, it does not affect his pay, as he receives the same remuneration as cap tain of police as he did as inspector and captain of detectives. Bruin was appoint ed to the position he leaves today about four years ago. He passed the civil serv ice examination held at that time for captains of police and was In the same class with Captain Slover. Bruin passed with the highest percentage )n fcie class and was appointed to the newly created office of captain and inspector of police. At the time his appointment causd considerable talk and was met with op position by some members of the police force, who maintained that the position should have been given to one of the "n who had been on the force prior to fet t::.-:J?:'!'5- -..jr that time and who had had experience In metropolitan police work. The opposition to Bruin culminated In ouster proceedings, which were brought by Patrolman Isakson with a view to having Bruin's appointment annulled. The City Council took up the matter and ap pointed a committee ti look Into the charges brought. The findings of this committee were against Bruin, and the matter was then taken tip in the Circuit Court, which held that Bruin had been regularly appointed by civil service regu lations and refused? to remove him from his position. Prior to his appointment Bruin had been in the regular Army for about ten years. His record In the Army was a good one. He entered it as a private and after successfully working his way up through the various grades was made First Sergeant in the Fifty-ninth United States Volunteers, then In the Philip pines. He was promoted successively to be Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant and Captain of the Philippine Constab ulary. At the time of coming to Portland, Captain Bruin was away from the Phil ippines on an accumulated leave of ab sence. When he first arrived In, this city he was employed by Mayor Lane for some private Investigations which the Mayor was able to pay from a fund spe cially allowed him under the law. It was Immediately after Bruin had made these Investigations, which no doubt dealt almost entirely with some mem bers of the police fores at that time, that he made application for an exami nation for police captain. It Is out of these- Investigations made by Bruin that most of the Ill-feeling against him on the force at that time is said to have arisen. When seen last night Captain Bruin said that he did not care to discuss the change. Twelve Years In Service. Captain Bailey, who takes Bruin's po sition at the head of the plain clothes staff, has been on the police force since 1896 and has a brilliant record. Ho was appointed captain four and a half years ago. As a patrolman he served for sev eral years at the Union Depot and on, North End beats. During a greater por tion of this time he worked with Patrol man Gibson. . . . , The services of these two men In the North End, where their reputation for clean dealings was never assailed, are said to nave been remarkably effective.. With the exception of one month Bailey has been in charge of- the second night relief since his promotion to. a captaincy. Rumors of graft have never been asso ciated, with his name and he has the repu tation for quickness In ' action, good Judgment, popularity with his men, square dealing and executive ability. When questioned last night regarding the change In his position. Captain Bailey said: : "It comes as a tremendous surprise to me. I almost .regret to leave the men in my command. I have been with them so long and have worked with them so well, and I hope I have been well liked by them. I will certainly do my utmost to serve the city In the new position." T ADOPT BLANK RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION. Sensation at Willamette University, Whose President Has Recent ly Tendered Resignation. SALEM, Or... Feb. ZL (Special.) The most startling sensation that ever agi tated faculty and students of Willamette University was sprung today when the student body adopted a blank sheet of paper as .a resolution expressing appre ciation of the work of President John H. Coleman. This was a deliberate and direct slap at President Coleman. At a meeting of the student body yesterday, a resolution was adopted directing that a farewell recep tion be tendered President Coleman, who resigned a few days ago. It was also ordered on motion that a committee be appointed to draft resolutions expressing appreciation of Coleman's work at Wil lamette. Since that time, however, it appears that the students changed their minds. When the student body met today t e resolutions committee handed In a blank sheet of paper, and It was adopted by an overwhelming vote Then the students reconsidered the vote by which yester day's resolution was adopted directing that a reception be given, and that reso lution was laid on the table. The nature and merits of the trouble between President Coleman and the trus tees are unknown to the public. Here tofore the students have been very loyal to Coleman, who stood high In their es timation. Both the president and mem bers of the board are keeping the details of the controversy quiet, and it Is there fore possible that the student body acted today upon insufficient Information. Fur ther developments are expected. BALANCED ON MOUNT -HOOD Full Moon Plays Part in a Beautiful Optical Illusion. Perching itself for a few moments on the very top of Mount Hood, the big, new moon illumined .that majestic peak at 11 o'clock last night so clearly that Its mantle ot glistening white, toned to a soft, yellow hue, could be distinguished plainly from Portland and vicinity. Never before, say old time OregonianB, has the moon been observed to scale the summit so fairly and with such perfect balance as last night. The big, yellow disk apparently could not have been more accurately adjusted to the top of the mountain. And as It passed on upward the top of the mellow circle buried Itself In a big black cloud, bo that no great stretch of the Imagination was re quired to fill in- the picture of an erup tion from the peaceful old mountain. From an- artistic standpoint, the spectacle was one to be hoarded In the fond memory, and those who saw It may regard themselves as having been peculiarly fortunate. Every year the moon pays a visit to the big peak, but possibly not once In centuries would It climb to the precise central point on the summit and present a pic ture so perfect.
